This might have been already asked/answered, but i couldnt find it anywhere.
I was wondering about the Tier 1, how is this calculated for EU players?
Tier One: City of Heroes Veterans with 60+ months of paid time.
Its is rather close to impossible for EU players even reaching 60 months, does this 60 months apply to both US as EU?
I'm already quite some time considering to cancel all my subs, i'm a paying costumer pretty much since launch US, yet the EU and US veteran's are still counted seperate. -
That was lucky afterwards, i just came back from a suprice trip to Paris.
If you have a new date, let me know
-
Is the idea still going?
I have quite some blasters to choose from, majority being 50 with odds vary from 12 upto 39.
Few years ago i was in a all ice/* team, wich sadly was a bit too easy. The double (tripple if u add PP, even 4 if you are /ice) holds could hold pretty much everything we fought against. (ok.. dreck was very hard, but big fun).
I'm mostly around at @SinergyX or on the US servers, so a post here would be best. -
Why make it forum login depending?
Now i have to swap around my accounts on the forum everytime And thats where the cookies wont really help me, either i keep getting logged out or i suddenly am back in my other account.
edit: worse, i have 4 accounts... -
Well thugs have this too though
On top of that, some whooping defense.
So its still quite par with the other sets (kinda mix of PD/poison), but with the annoyancy of Bubbles, buffing each pet nonstop.
But for the looks, freaking imba (i go ninja/thermal btw, flaming ninjas!)
-
Granite, by far. 2 toggles for easy tanking, 3 toggles for supreme survival. Add stoneskin, and allll other powers are totaly free to pick.
-
I saw the shields were 15% resist base, that juicy stuff Add the 2 uniques giving another 20%, whooping 44% base resist to all pets.
Downside, the nonstop buffing
-
So not only remove 2 big topics about it, not admitting you wrong from the start.. only persisting we have acces to the beta if we would make a trial account.

Wait until we get people telling us to stop complaining, then the real fun starts! Hopefully they'll realise the position we're in, that we dont even have a CHANCE of getting picked for a closed beta and now dont get to experience an "open beta" too. Makes a lot of EU players feel like our opinion doesnt matter and to be honest its not healthy for us EU players confidence wise.
This ^^^
The only announcement was in a thread about i16 closed beta and that was even a passing comment. So technically there hasnt been an "official" announcement to EU players yet.
So either we are not part of the 'all players', we will get it with delay... or worst case, they even make anouncements without keeping EU players in mind.Quote:The Open Beta for Issue 16: Power Spectrum is now available to all our City of Heroes and City of Villains players! -

Quote:No, i combine. I farm and PL while having fun with friends. But since more friends left EU, what is left to do? Restart on the US and leave 30+ characters behind? Trow away months or maybe years to get certain slotting, and today prices maybe 10-100 times what they were back then?Originally Posted by SpittingTrashcan
If you care more about PLing than you do about forming teams with friends.
First they limit the choices, then freedom, i dont mind. I stay creative and adept. And besides, since the 1-50 would take longer, means more inf and with the new difficulty setting it even will be more interesting.
To above, dont get me wrong, i see also more good than bad in issue 16, but my convidence in the future of this game aint big anymore. Or maybe i'm just spoiled by Aion. -
Looks all nice and stuff, but just 1 thing i really dont like:
Quote:They serious think lower and higher lvl people suddenly go team with eachother this way? Would a group of mid/end 30s suddenly go pickup lvl10-20 people? The little odd player in the team normaly would be sk'ed anyway, apart from PL teams i _never_ saw a team with more then 2 characters being more then 10 lvls below the avarage.idea is that Supersidekicking will allow for much more flexibility in team building. The procedure is simple, where all characters of the team are sidekicked to the mission character, who does not necessarily have to be the team leader. Each character on the team will be one level lower than the character that is performing a mission for a contact. When higher level characters are brought to lower level missions they will still get experience awards. Lower level characters will be able to travel into zones from which they were previously restricted while on the team. This supersidekicking will make it easier for characters to find good teams without being left behind because they are either too high or too low in level.
Would i care that i cant travel to certain zones when i'm too low? Maybe US its different, but on EU the lvl-restricted zones are basicly empty, deserted, ghosttowns. Is this really a 'good thing to get more teaming', or just a plain PL-nerf and trying to cover it up by some 'positive' story around it?
AH still wont be fixed, its not the exp or the drops, its the insane ammount of inf you gain at 50, mindless trashing through +4 mobs make you millions and millions a day. Those odd rare recipes are merely a bonus.
No, i rather see some decent revamp of the party-search system, nearly all MMO's im playing already done better to far far better then what the current /sea thingie does. (who on earth does patron? Hunt?).
Added, WoW may have 'copied' stuff CoH already had, but they just made 1 step beyond. Cross-server instances, left uppercut incomming. No more empty server issues or hard to get teams, cross server teaming and off you go. QoL features that mean more to me then giving yet another epic pool and powers, or that profilifpr.. powerswapping, instead doing yet another respec getting different powers and farming yet another day to get certain recipes for you build. -

Mercs with procs don't become "on par" with other sets in single-target damage, they frickin' destroy. I wouldn't mind seeing them buffed, but from what I've seen, they honestly don't *need* it.
So unless you come up with numbers, i just stick to my experience. -
I say elec, suits the new elec/elec set.
But since we have dark, i would love to see it
But in most cases they still are annoying to weaponwielders. -
SS is better, thats a easy one. Very solid chain, awsome ST damage, best AoE in the game, and not to forget .. rage.
Elec is nice, my brute elec, but set is just too meh for me. Thunderstrike is good (animation doesnt make sence though), but the AoE is very small. The cone is nice, the jump to other target thing is funny, but not always that great, and the teleport power.. Ok it looks plain awsome, beyond awsome. So for the final tier power i would still pick elec, but if i can also choose SS, i definiatly would pick SS. (specialy with the new animations). -
Some stores and restaurants have these 'background fillers'
I believe at the metro stations its the same sound. -
Quote:pretty much every digital payment method has a fee. Even a creditcard has the anual sub and uses often more 'profitable' exchange rates. Then again, normal bank to other bank payments in most cases still take a day, a day both sides dont have the money. Gues who's getting the interest of that?Originally Posted by Razoras
Indeed, PayPal has been skimming money off payments made for as long as it has existed. It's part of the business model. The sender of money doesn't see it happen, though. This doesn't seem like a change at all, to me. If you select Goods and Services as the reason you're sending money it always meant fees.
No, what really is bad.. the stupid US -> EU rate. I pay US servers for little 10 euro (probably less by now), while i get the full load still on the EU side. Same game, different server.. 3 euro a month. -
Well lets say SS's, positron, respec trial, several missions we made it when someone dropped the SK. Sometimes you choose to be at the lowerside of the gap, so you have an escape incase it goes wrong. Its not always the 'final boss' or the mission goal, but groups in between.
Oh well, time to get more 50s, as that will be the place for PL'ing then (just spawn 54 mobs, you got gap 5 again).
-
You can always join the RMT's, they hardly talk, do their thing and pretty much nonstop. Mindless getting inf, i like
-
Ok, my apologies if this been talked about or answered already (waah 40 pages).
But is this a _always on_ feature? I often get requests if i can help out the patron quests, as 50 i breeze through rather fast and easy so he/she can get the patron powers. But will i now always be set back to his/her level?
Also, in TF's, someone popping out of the exemp (lets say TF 40-45, we all 40/41 including exemped down folks) is only possible by quiting (lets say a 'ooooooh foook' moment, in that case 4 lvls make a difference), but he basicly quits the TF.
I do like the feature for TF's, being 38 and going for manticore (30-35 afaik?) leaves you only with inf but now also exp. Good good Also i hope you retain some powers, my perma granite nothing is worse then going exemped below 32. (although i have rock/crystal armor, i not really much of a tank then).
-
Yup, rage currently is way to go. Add FA and its really big time going.
Although i dont know the exact changes for the new PvP system, is unresistable damage still ingame? -
*raise hand*
In the old days all info about CoH in my country was always linked to the CoH main site (not the UK one). So the majority of dutch people i've seen are playing on the US side, where i also initialy started.
I use EU to pl my own characters, farm in peace and test builds. I use US for the TF's, easy invites and just running around buffing people. Defiant is a big issue now, apart from a few lowbies in Atlas its already hard to get a decent AE team. (yes, sue me).
I loose alot of inf because of the US-EU tranfering, the only way doing so is using the AH. And since the prices are only going up due US side, EU cant just sit back and take it easy if you want some nice IO's.
At least give EU people the choice to move over, instead of locking them out completly. The limitation? Client difference, since they made the 2 languages part of the server. -
Quote:Aaaaaah the cute Rootkit story again. Serious, try harder.Originally Posted by MunkiLord
Aion installs a rootkit on your computer. Anybody that installs this game deserves any potential harm that comes from this rootkit. I hope this game bombs because of this and I hope people lose their jobs. People in game companies that decide rootkits are needed do not deserve to make games and I hope their careers crash.
Also, if you(general) install this game and somebody exploits this rootkit, you deserve all the bad things that could happen to your computer and your personal data. You(again, general), make me sick.
You think that gameguard is scary? Use a packet monitor and see exactly what it sends out, then compare this to VAC (made in US), WoW, Google, youtube, MSN, or the recent news of iphone apps. Or shall we go punkbuster (again, made in US) or even the anti-copy crap of music and video CDs (several made in US)?
Because it behaves like one, doesnt mean it is. There is no case, with clear evidence, that gameguard was used for any other case other then protecting the game. Please, keep that hypocrit talk to yourself. -
Quote:Not really my fault you only read SD there. Any item ingame was 'changable' (note, not customizable), weapons, guns, capes, you name it. But would a new color change the gay walk of SD or DW? Or the clipping issues with guns, the redraw issues? Not here.Originally Posted by Canine
OK, now THIS jumped right out at me.
Shield Defence toons have far, FAR more customisations options right now than Invuln etc are ever likely to get in Issue 16.
You have a variety of shield shapes and types. Each of which can be coloured, and in several cases, have a variety of symbols placed on them. So you've got shape, colour and design.
Invuln etc are, so far as I can tell from the ComiCon stuff that was posted, likely to get colour changes. That's it.
And you're feeling hard done by with Shield Defence as it is right now?
Oh, and skipping GR on EU because of 'low populations' ? Pfft. I missed out on a Barracuda SF being run by some friends last night because too many people were online and looking to do it, on the first day of CO Open Beta (which admittedly is/was having "issues" apparently).
What i'm saying, everyone is soooo excited about I16, werent we all also about AE? Or chimora? Or RWZ? Or whatever thing u might think off? What about it now? Majority say AE is DOOOOM!!! and (EU side) all those new zones are deserted empty places purely for decoration.
I never said skip GR, i said think twice. EU had glorious days, true. But is this, the current state of EU servers worth the hundreds of euro i spent on it? While actualy NC was lacking all along to even think about advertising? (yeah, UK, nice try). Sure, stay in the great illusion while being in a active SG/channel is 'healthy', but i only see people going, RMT's comming and thats it. But oh well, time will tell
