    DM/SD questions

    I've never needed 95% DDR, just kill everything quickly.
  3. I need to update my build, what changes did the devs make to interface and is assault hybrid still the way to go?
  4. Any reason why the defense is so high?

    I haven't been able to purchase my monthly VIP subscription due to not being able to play at all but I'd still like to be able to help the arch type sections, is there any chance that old VIP'ers can be granted access to the rest of the locked sections?
  9. All of these changes might make me start playing again. They all sound really interesting, now the problem is finding the time to play again.
  10. They should turn EM into a single target monster with fast paced animations but that won't do to well in modern CoH.
  11. I didn't even realize WW was still part of CoH. I haven't seen her post in ages.

    Difficulty slider, use it.

    I'm really leaning toward Assault, I've got Siphon Life and Rebirth, so more damage would be really nice.

    Not much point to telling people how you did something cool when they can all chime in and say, "yeah, I did that too"

    Pretty soon I'm going to attempt a MoITF run on a Claws/Regen scrapper. If I pull it off I'll be sure to stop in and claim my bragging rights

    Basically, it seems that the focus of the game has shifted. That, and with the option of playing for free I'm sure a lot of our former regular posters quit subscribing and just play once in a while.

    Probably a bit of burn-out occurring with the long time vets as well. I know I'm starting to feel a bit of burnout, but I doubt I'm going to be going anywhere in the foreseeable future. I know Werner just recently came back from a 6 month break, and I haven't seen Iggy post since sometime last year. Umbral's been gone for at least 2 years.

    Holy crap, I just realized I'm one of the old hands in teh Scrapper section now.
    I feel you, I took a two month break.
  15. What Hybrid selection should I choose for Murcielago? I was thinking Melee but Assault looks really nice.
  16. Andferne! Dude I haven't seen you in forever! Glad you're back, post up a build and I'll more than happily help you out.
  17. It hasn't been just lately, I've noticed it happened a month into FTP.

Soloing an AV didn't mean much other than forum bragging rights. With the difficulty slider and Incarnates, there's stuff difficult enough to challenge even the mightiest Scrapper without setting up artificial extra obstacles, and there are in-game rewards for doing so.

    I certainly haven't stopped doing stupid scrapper tricks; with Incarnate powers, I can walk all over things that were once near-impossible, and things that WERE impossible are now within reach. But there's not as much use nor desire to discuss it at great length anymore.

    /shrug
    I don't understand this, what changed? What made people no longer interested in sharing their adventures?
  19. For a while now I have not been able to shake the thoughts that scrappers have lost their, how do I put this in a way without getting my thread reported for crassness, gusto, bad-assery, killer instinct, pushing the boundaries, etc... What happened? I remember when pylon solo'ing done by scrappers used to be a serious accomplishment but now everyone and their mother does it. I used to see build threads of people constantly improving their character(s) constantly or people posting videos of solo'ing every AV known to man.

    It seems like the type of scrapper player shows up to the scrapper forum to take advice and very few return to add to discussion. I remember when there were quite a few regulars on the scrapper board battling it out in discussion talking about why a set needed to be improved or come up with ideas for crazy new sets that actually ended up becoming new sets. Now all it seems to be is endless A/B build please critique, and poof they're gone.

    It really makes me sad to see and hopefully my view point is wrong and I'm just delusional. Please someone tell me that I'm wrong.

    I find teaming to be the most satisfying. I like a variety of foes and a variety of maps. I suspect I would want to team with people for radio missions. A fair amount of variety that is very convenient.

    I would do Sutter's TF because it is epic and fun, maybe the Posi's. The other TF's I would probably avoid because they are long and tedious.
    I enjoy running lower level content that I missed leveling up. My character is built to stay soft capped down to L27 so he still retains his strength.

    I also enjoy changing his build at least once a month, constantly improving it.

    I suspect they didn't really think that through very thoroughly before they went ahead and did it. Kinetic Melee on Stalkers breaks that mechanic pretty badly.
    Stalkers are now probably unkillable in PvP.

    Stalker ATO proc in AS will fire every time you use it, putting you in Hide and allowing you to crit with Concentrated Strike every time.


    I haven't played it myself because I'm not a big fan of the jazz hands, but the damage it puts out is pretty crazy. There's also the 100% crit chance on Burst when Hidden going for it as well.

    I'm sure you can see the insane damage potential there.
    Holy crap that is insane, that sounds like its broken.
