    Timing, is of course, everything.

    If I do show up tonight it will probably be a short appearance as I'll be at work and my laptop is getting a bit long in the tooth.

    Something along the lines of Dechs Kaison's Berserker set?

    I'd also like to throw in a "belated" welcome back Starsman. I'd noticed a post or two of yours in September but had failed to mention anything at the time.

    If all the other parts are working well, a touch more accuracy then is needed against +4s isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's also nice to have some "wiggle room" when dealing with to-hit debuffs.

    That way you wouldn't have to respec your character or use a second build in order to play it, but if you want the set bonuses to work you still need to buy the license.

    Sound like a reasonable compromise?
    I was a bit surprised that they hadn't implemented something like this when they first announced the IO limitations. But as was mentioned, SCR does apply. Should they ever get something like this to function properly it would probably have to be set along the lines Arcana mentioned, disabling procs and global effects as well.

    Chuckle. Beyond my mentioning it wasn't for general teaming, I was agreeing with you on both points.

    1.)Allow access to LFG at level 2, and have a pop up that introduces it. I see far to many people who don't know about the LFG system, or how to use it. I feel the feature could be great, but you have given it no introduction at all. You need to make it so that is well known what it can do, and exactly how to access it. I feel pushing it to level 2 and then having a pop up or description when training would be the best and easiest way to introduce the system.
    As was mentioned, this function is more about specific Trials not for general teaming. I would like to see a pop-up window etc. better informing players about this. As it is, there isn't anything. I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to include Task Forces and Strike Forces as part of it, even if a lot of players wouldn't use the function to form TF/SF.

    Quote:
    2.) Allow cross server trails with the LFG. Heroes from Exalted should be able to do trails with Heroes from Virtue or from Freedom. At the very least LAM and BAF are very easily Puggable and being able to run them cross server would be of a huge benefit, especially for players in the EU. This will also allow people in global chat channels to arrange itrails with their friends whom are on a different server.
    An ability to team cross servers would be great, but I think the Standard Code Rant applies heavily. We, as players, don't know how easy or difficult it would be to implement. Would it be great? Sure. There have been many requests over the years for this.

    Quote:
    3.) Include normal Taskforces within the LFG system. There really is no reason not to, is there?
    See my answer to #1.

    Quote:
    4.) Have a bit more dialog with the players. You guys are the expert at keeping things a secret to build up suspense with only letting little bits of infomation slip. However this isn't always the best way of advertising and keeping a solid player base. Whilst you need the suspence for some elements of the game, you also need open communication for others.
    Watching a video of Zwill the other say, a PvP question was asked and he simply said "We have plans for PvP but we are not ready to talk about them yet." This is not the best way to keep players interest and it does not help you guys in anyway either. We don't want you to tell us every little plan, but it would be great if you would engage with us and tell us some of the ideas floating around. Even if they are changed and do not make it into the game (you would make that very clear from the start) you have at least shown us that you really are serious about working with the issue, aswell as respect the opinions of the players.
    While I'd certainly like to see more dialog with the players, a lack of dialog and building suspense has worked well for a small company called Apple.

    5.) I used to play WoW. Whilst the game wasn't that great and I left to rejoin CoH, there was one thing they got right and that was Battlegrounds. I think we should use that concept and apply it to COH. Have a 10v10 or 5v5 BG system that allows us to queue (cross server using the LFG) for a battle to complete a certain objective in a pre-existing PvP zone.
    First of all, I'm not a PvP'er and have no interest in PvP'ing. That doesn't make me "Anti-PvP". (heck, I even made a suggestion for a new pvp zone a while back similar to what you've mentioned.) PvP within CoH has always been a minor portion of the game, much to the chagrin of the PvP players. From what I do understand, is that most PvP'ers believe it was broken in i13.

    Quote:
    6.) Start selling more IO's within the game store, however keep that as Bind to Account. They won't be used to make any money, but they are there for people to buy if need be.
    I would be very happy if I could spend a few £ to buy a couple of PvP IO's or some LotG + 7.5% recharge.
    I always thought the main rule of F2P games was this: DON'T SELL POWER!

    Quote:
    7.) Come and do more stuff with us, during EU times! Every event that has taken place on Exalted at least has been during US time. I get that you guys are a US company, but you are paying too much attention to the US and not enough to the EU. Show us that we are still important.
    Works for me.

    Quote:
    8.) Don't forget about the old power sets and Balance. Look I am gonna be honest and say that this game is by far the worst balanced game I have ever played. Being a super hero/villian is great fun, and the powers have to be fun (which they are) but you are too focused on the fun and not enough on the balance. Whilst it is important to have a fun game, it is also important to have a balanced game where powersets are not considerably weaker than others.
    I feel its important that old power sets are gone over and tweaked to try and balance the game a little better. Having power sets that are FAR too weak or FAR too strong really isn't good for the game.
    They've been "ok" about doing tweaks to power sets, but they certainly could be better about it. There are some that need more "fixing" then others. Personally, I think the variety of weaker vs. stronger sets makes the game more interesting instead of too homogenized. I've seen some people do amazing things with sets that are considered to be "weak".
  8. Rangle M. Down
    Unfortunately, since gauntlet's AoE taunt effect is considered "a package deal" in the power descriptions (it's written in an inclusionary manner) for single target attacks, I don't see the confusion going away anytime soon.
  9. Rangle M. Down
    What the P-wiki says here: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Soft_Cap

    Quote:
    Note that in the Incarnate Trials, enemies have an equivalent to +14% ToHit, so the Incarnate soft cap is 59% instead of 45%.
  10. Rangle M. Down
    Also take into account that to-hit debuffs will take a large toll on your ability to hit things. CoT's Spectral demon's Chill of the Night power is one example. Banished Pantheon Death Mask's dark blast, and the Storm Shaman's Hurricane are other examples of this. So seeing accuracy numbers far and above 95% shouldn't be considered overkill.
  11. Rangle M. Down
    Bah. Aggelakis is right. I was thinking Paragon Rewards but wrote points.
  12. Rangle M. Down
    Has she looked under the Paragon Points window? My understanding is this; if she has any paragon points what-so-ever she will be considered a Premium Player. Depending on how many points she has will determine what she does or does not have access to for free.

    The P-wiki has a much better "current description" of what the premium levels are. And yes, if they can send a tell, they are at least the minimum level of premium.
  13. Rangle M. Down
    This would probably closer to a build I would craft for myself. I've changed a few slots around, and changed up a few IOs as well. I've turned on the 4 accolades that give +hp and +end, so that will effect the numbers as well. Take a look and see if this gives you any ideas.

    Thanks to Witty for getting the ball rolling on tonight's TT Pinnacle. We had one TF team led by Witty that rolled through both Posi TFs, and another Mission team running around PI following Kanga's lead.

    I like some of the ideas already mentioned in this post. It would be nice if there were some improvements for crafting. One thing that came to mind was a variation on combat attribute monitoring. As it currently stands you can set a window to monitor your combat attributes.

    What I'd like to be able to do is the same with the salvage needed for recipes I wish to craft. Right-clicking on the salvage needed would create a window showing that particular recipe's need vs. how many pieces you have (similar to the combat monitoring window). If you have two recipes that need the same salvage you would have two separate lines showing the same piece needed for each recipe. (Insert SCR before anyone else does. ) It's probably more of a pain to create this, but it would be a nice QoL in my mind.

    I might try and make a photo shopping stab at this later to better illustrate my thoughts.
  17. Rangle M. Down
    For me, I've found OG to be a one slot wonder and don't try to enhance the stun. If I've moved to another position this allows the stun to drop while they're still being effected by the taunt aura. I don't move around as much as some, but I do incorporate the ideas Dechs mentioned in his last post.

    I'm a dork. Forgot to add in resistance IOs into Deflection. Minor changes:

  19. Rangle M. Down
    A few quick things I noted:

    I prefer to slot Membranes into Active Defense, usually two slotting them, Those Enzymes are going for about 400 mil each, last time I checked.

    I prefer to use LotG or GotA in my defense toggles. The Lotg are great for both +recharge for the proc and the +hp/+regen/+acc. The GotA are great for +rec/+max end.

    Lightning Rod and Shield Charge or both powers that I think benefit from using Obliterations, and/or throwing a purple set into one of them.

    I usually consider OwtS a one slot wonder.

    I wouldn't throw three slots into both CJ and Super Jump, nor would I bother with the Blessings of the Zephyr in them. First of all you don't need the extra kb protection, and you could get better defense else where.

    I'm also not sure if I think spring attack is worth it.

    So I've changed a few things up in this build. I've left in Spring attack, but have rearranged things slightly. Take a look and see what you think.

    I'll also chime in on the PLEASE DON'T MERGE THE AT FORUMS. I think adding in the additional "descriptor" mentioned above would work to help new players find what they need.
    Part of the reason I don't think merging them is a good idea is this: you already get into "squabbles" about which AT is better, for example Defenders vs. Corruptor, and you want to throw them into the same kettle? Great. Add more fuel to that fire...
    As others have mentioned, I also believe it will muddy the waters even more then you think it would and will increase player confusion.


    As for the rest of the proposed forum rules:

    Under this area:
    Quote:
    5. Non-Constructive posts are prohibited.
    • Posts made in brevity that do not add to the conversation are not allowed, as they do not engender constructive discussion. Examples include, but are not limited to, "/signed," and “/jranger.” Users are encouraged to be elaborate in their posts.
    Can you elaborate a bit more on this? There are certainly some posts in threads that add to the "conversational" aspect of things, and others that don't add anything. Can you give examples?

    In the same area:
    Quote:
    ‘Thread necromancy,’ or ‘necro-posting’ is responding to a thread that has not been active (has had no posts) in at least 30 days. ‘Necro-posting’ is a form of thread ‘bumping’ and as such is prohibited. If you wish to discuss a considerably older topic, create a new post and link to the older discussion.
    How will this be handled in the future? In the past threads have been removed completely from the forums, some have been locked, some haven't been moderated at all. There hasn't been any consistency. What are the guidelines that are being used by the Moderators when it comes to Necro-posting so that we can have a better handle on it? Is the moderation, or lack thereof based on the individual thread or circumstance?

    In this Area:
    Quote:
    7. Inappropriate and Off-Topic Content
    Real world topics including current world events and sensitive historical events
    Would events like the earthquake disaster in Japan qualify as an off-topic discussion? Some world events aren't political/religious in nature.


    These are the first questions I have that leapt out to me.

    See, I knew Acemace putting JB in the "Supes" role would foul the field...
