I'm starting to get excited by this character, the only nitpick I have is that Fossilize is so much more vibrant than any of the other effects on the Lava set... I've been playing with Mids trying to get a good build. Once I can find a backstory that doesn't involve praetoria and explains 20 levels of villainy before reforming... tentative build plan posted....

A warning for those who are planning to extract the traitor Knife of Artemis, if you play a slow melee class it's fully possible for the carpet of Caltrops to extend far enough that the DoT will kill her before you can rescue her, causing the ambush to not spawn. At this point you can either autocomplete or reset and try again, since her death does not count as a mission failure criteria.

Damn. Damn damn damn.
I've never met Nurse White in game, but I want to steal that outfit of hers so badly.... -
Didn't Iron Man 2, what I thought was a really great superhero movie, have some scenes that where in trailers (The 'kiss the helmet' scene is the one I'm thinking of) but weren't in the theater release? Is this also 'dishonesty'? Well, I guess if you went into the theater REALLY REALLY wanting to see that scene, It could be disappointing, but...
Unless you're absolutely hardcore with 'I Will only play heroes, ever heroes, never go Vigilante or ever go to the isles' (Or the reverse, I guess) then you get both TFs with the free update. Yes, I guess you can say that having stuff that's not in the TF in the trailer is 'dishonest', but I have to say that it's not that big of a deal. -
Quote:So, something to make it less ignorable? What if it spawned zone monsters like a Rikti-zombie invasion, and the zone monsters counted toward the banner they belonged to?Originally Posted by james_joyce
There are probably many ways the event could be improved, but auto killing players is certainly not one of them. -
Hmm. Sounds like the hard part of this character is going to be making a good costume for them, then! Good to hear that both will be effective, though I'm leaning toward Earth/Fire now.
-
I'm interested in making a tribal 'Volcano god' type character, using the lava effect on Earth and using Fire. The trouble is, while I'm pretty sure I want the alt to be a Dominator, I'm not sure if I want earth/fire or fire/earth.
I've played an earth/ controller and a fire/fire dominator before, though I didn't like the latter much due to fire having weak controls. On paper, Fire/Earth has some synergy with the AoEs Mud Pots, Hot Feet, Cinders and Tremor, but these all have different ranges, and Hot Feet seems to be better than Mud Pots in every way anyway. Earth/Fire has good offense and all of Earth's yummy debuffs, but really doesn't have an awful lot of obvious synergy.
Does anyone have experience with either of these sets? -
Last I checked we where pretty closely matched in population, though Freedom might have an edge on us. Virtue's almost certainly 2nd at the very least.
-
As a hero or villain? That will determine if your'e fighting Longbow or Arachnos spawns.

I had it briefly on my merc/traps. I never fought any EBs while I had the power, so I don't know if it 'works' or not, giving the mitigation that you want, and like most people I found that the recharge was just too long for what the power did. On a build dedicated to taking out single hard targets like EBs and AVs, I can see the power having a place, though.
What is your secondary set? I would vary my response based on that. I would emphasize resistance over anything else, since no matter how good your recharge is you won't get it up twice in one fight, and you really want your commando to be indestructable while he's under the effects of the Serum.
Take all this with a grain of salt, I did level my MM to 50, but that's not exactly a heroic accomplishment these days, and I haven't played in quite a while. -
I can sorta see it.
I don't know why I know who Nadya is though. -
Installing my new DvD copy of the Complete Collection is causing my computer to crash to a bluescreen. The crash recovery informs me that there is an issue with an 'nForce' program on my computer, but I haven't been able to locate it.
I'm not very tech savvy, so can anyone help me, and what information should I provide? -

Quote:Similar, but different enough to my mind. Devices lacks the FF bot, Poison Gas trap, and Acid Mortar that I consider the most useful bits of traps, so the experience will (probably) be different.Originally Posted by Fenrisulfr
She could be a warshade.
And at a stretch, the blaster's devices could be considered similar to the mastermind's traps. But not identical by any definition.
Fire/axe just doesn't really synergize well, Axe and Mace are really similar, and the new mutation pack has tempted me to indulge my inner dork and make a cute fox-girl with flame powers.Quote:Originally Posted by Cien_Fuegos
good luck on fire/fire
i have a broot with fire aura and hate it
I've tried Regen on one of my old stalkers, nrg/regen, and didn't get into it. Also, none of my current stalker/scrapper concepts really work for Regen.Quote:Originally Posted by Cien_Fuegos
why no regeneration?
I won't be able to buy GR immediately after it comes out, so no Kinetic characters for a while. The new stalker doesn't really fit as a kinetic meleeist either way, though I might consider it for Colmillo depending on how it's tinted.Quote:Originally Posted by Cien_Fuegos
instead of MA would you consider going Kinetic blow?
How similar to Dark are warshades? I thought their shtick was 'weird gravity powers' rather than 'netherworld/black magic'Quote:Originally Posted by Cien_Fuegos
you seem to use dark a lot as in corruptor dark/dark
tank shield/dark so might not want a warshade
I already have two brutes, one of which is /inv. I can't make her kin/inv without either shuffling one of the other two brutes to something else, or breaking my own rules.Quote:Originally Posted by Cien_Fuegos
noche should be a brute..howabout kinetic blow/ inv
... What?Quote:Originally Posted by Cien_Fuegos
make the powers dark black n blue or a crab /bane(VEAT) to go with night widow
His original concept was a reality warper, so electricity doesn't really work. From what I've heard, Elec control sounds pretty cool, with the gremlins and the sleep power, but it doesn't really fit. My sonic/Elec defender might work slightly better as an elec/sonic controller (Since I'm honestly kind of disappointed in electrical blast), but that would put me up to 3 controllers. and necessitate even MORE shuffling.Quote:Originally Posted by Cien_Fuegos
and check out electric control before u choose grav/nrg for dom -
One of my unspoken rules of making new alts is 'Two of each'. The other is 'Never the same thing twice'.
Basically, I limit myself to two of each archetype, and try to never re-use a powerset.
As it stands, I have:
2 blasters, Arch/Dev and Psi/Mind
2 Scrappers, Ma/SR and Kat/Will
2 Tanks, Fire/axe and Shield/Dark
2 Defenders, Sonic/Elec and Cold/ice
2 Controllers, Earth/storm and Ill/Emp
1 Corruptor, Dark/dark
1 stalker, Elec/nrg
1 Mastermind, Mercs/traps
2 Brutes, Mace/inv and DB/elec
2 Dominators, mind/elec and grav/mind
1 Arachnos Soldier
NOW. I'm planning on doing some house-cleaning when GR hits. I'm considering:
Making a new, praetorian MA/Nin stalker.
Re-rolling my Fire/axe Tanker as fire/fire.
Rerolling my dominators are Mind/mind and Grav/nrg
So, when I 'shuffle in' the new MA/Nin, there will be a conflict with my Ma/SR scrapper.
So, can anyone think of another role for this young woman to slide into? She's a bat-themed luchadora named 'La Noche Colmillo'.
And can anyone spot any areas where I've broken my own rules and used a powerset (Or functionally identical powersets) more than once? -
I think I've heard this one before.

Yes, yes, yes.

These two steps may not work for everyone. I know it doesn't work for me, and I can only assume it's because of Desktop Composition in Windows 7/Vista. If I do that, I'd get a full black screen as the screenshot.
My work around is that I alt-tab, open a random window. At the time, CoH, with the character selection screen, should be in background. So I take a screeny of that newly opened window, and then it works, with CoH in the background. Then I just crop the window out of it. -
