I already have this book, sadly not signed

Its a very nice book, great drawn pictures.

Traps is cool! Even after the poison trap 'nerf' (wich was needed tbh) it still is a very great set to have.

pretty much every power of traps is great, my personal is that triage beacon i never took. I move to much and fights are too short to use that stationairy thing.

Level 49: Soul Storm

A old build of mine, wich i liked alot. Although you get your only heal slightly late, its good at the time mobs get alot stronger.

A few things, specialy 38 Detonator and 44 Grant invis.
Those 2 are optional, i personaly loved detonator, and with grant invis you can move 1 'sacrifise' pet into mob range (or just use a seeker drone or mortar) so u get a lovely booooooom.

If you dont like it, you can always put triage back in and maybe tactics for the extra tohit or take teleport foe. (telemining).

For alpha attacks:
-send bruiser in (he can take a few hits)
-Cast seeker drones in the group of mobs (they blow up fast, so get ready to fight).
-Put a Aicd Mortar down, it can take alot of beating and it will take agro if it hits first.
-Call trops, 1 or 2 tripmines behind it and do a quick range pull.

I hope it helps Many have different playstyle on MM's, i prefer being a suportive fighter that aid my minions who do all the work, others use BG alot and fight active in the front.

When: soon

that's like saying walls can talk back, a bit more specific please.

[/ QUOTE ]
how about: Soon(TM)

[/ QUOTE ]
Or to be more exact: Soon™

I would try putting some slots in force bolt, afaik that knocks down pretty much everything. And mobs on their back.. dont do damage

The 2 bubbles, one u have 5 slotted, other no slots. I asume u done that for the set bonus?

And be sure to read the mastermind guide, specialy about teh bodyguard mode.

http://www.cityofheroes.com/media_an...c_archive.html
The comics

http://www.cityofheroes.com/game_inf...roduction.html
The history and timeline of the most major events.

Then from names u see, or want to know more, check up on paragonwiki.

And in case you get beaten by the 'wall of pwn0rz text', this is the page to get it copied and add a '-test' to your eu shortcut

Closed and open beta also refer to the 'state' of the new stuff. Like software released on alpha, beta, release candidate etc, closed is the 2nd step after internal beta.

Some call it a elevator, others call it a lift.

I just call it a beta, who cares if its open or not.

Shouldnt your protector bots also be slotted with def, for their bubbles? (if i read the ToHitDeb correctly), afaik they only have the drone that does -tohit.

For the patron you can take that mace one, the shield also has def.

[/ QUOTE ]

Couldnt resist ! While we got you here Ghosty, care to share any more hints?

[/ QUOTE ]

I can't give any hints...Our Marketing/PR departments would pummel me..., and then Positron would probably follow up with an "Enervating Field+Radiation Infection+Lingering Radiation+Aim+Proton Volley" combo on me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ahh the "you'll never be having kids" combo... not deadly but highly effective...pesky radiation..

[/ QUOTE ]
So the actual power of Posi aint more then a female doing a split-kick in dah noots?

Hmm bummer.

Quite depends on your style, going melee for the nrg attacks or using the full buff abilities of nrg to spray mobs with bullets?

(you know that boostrange also increases the cone of FA and Flametrower? )

[ QUOTE ]
So you think it was an accident? This leak? Interesting

[/ QUOTE ]
Well it puts posi's speach in a slight different position. He hints a few things, such the powersets, goes to some common stuff and now WHAM, there ya go.

Negative publicity is publicity, the huge ammount of posts around the MA and posi's speech got things sturred up alot, while they could continue the FMV and the website.

He said on that other interview they already working on issue 17 or such, so i'm pretty sure this rogue thing was known all along (also GR hinted towards 'big' things in the future, be it MA or be it this he was refering to).

Merge with US forums, anything else would be dogpile to me.

[/ QUOTE ]
please no. granted it's sometimes a bit quiet here, but I don't want to have to translate everything I say into americlish or wade through billion post threads of...people.
it's a lot easier to get to know folks here.

[/ QUOTE ]

You want to get to know folks??!

[/ QUOTE ]
You should know by now, the internet has no girls, only folks pretending to be a girl.

You remember the old blue screen with only COH in it, i believe those 3 were also there. On the US there has been a topic about it, some did gave references to existing heroes.

Also, but only afaik, the US deluxe box (with those sprint animations) i believe had some of the names in the manual.

I was already waiting for the doom posts.

Anyway, for this, to sum it up:
A selective few on this board screaming with quiting, leaving, devs suxors and posi is an idiot only focus on 1 thing, CO. NC gotta fix their mess, CO is comming, NC gotta do something, CO is comming.

Now, what if, really what if.. people here dont care about CO? Review your question then:
[ QUOTE ]
First there are some telling questions, the most important one is: "Why have they announced this now?"


[/ QUOTE ]
That would basicly be:
"Do i care why they announced it now?"

Expectations gone already crazy, actualy already since CO was announced and MA was released. Assumptions, expectations, doom scenario's, based on what? 'history'? Your so called 'facts'? (aka hand full of people you know ingame or this board).

Again, This _aint_ the US. We've already been put in save mode (removal of NC office) incase they choose to shut it down, its merely a button and a merge.

Serious, but who are you to say what this game 'needs'? A bored veteran that got fed up with the current content and needs more bones to chew on? 2 sets are not enough, new zones are not enough, new TF is not enough, comeback of a faction is not enough, possible some graphics loving is not enough.. then serious, what would be enough for u then?

Face it, with a community on this size, you cant please em all. And that it happen to be a majority of these people are on the forums (kinda like AoC), so be it. Maybe this game was never 'meant' to be large scale or sortlike, maybe it is better to keep it on a 100-150k sub and stay steady going for yet another 3-4 years.

Even if they add animated hair, 1 person here will go totaly crazy and happy, but even then there are people calling of doom fail and lousy. Hunderds of posts about it, the eventual patch arives and topics bleed to death, waiting for yet another big announcement to be flamed at.

[ QUOTE ]
A similar question - I currently have 2GB of RAM on my system, would upgrading to 4GB allow me to run the game on maximum settings, or would I have to upgrade the graphics card?

I have no idea what my graphics card is other than 'it's the one that came in the computer', which I'm guessing means 'not a very good graphics card'.

[/ QUOTE ]
2GB still can be enough if you have a nice videocard and CPU, so i would focus on that part first. My 2nd system is running with 2GB, but using a E8400 and 4850 is still can do very good at highest settings. (apart from some ati-related issues).

Conference call time

(probably yet another hour listening,but they have some interesting stuff often.. specialy Aion ).

Frazzled D

Best introduction i've seen so far on this board!

I'm not a union player sadly, well my highest there is i think 14. U can check the union boards also, althought i think this forum is read more frequently

[ QUOTE ]
That said this board is generally fine for me. But I don't use Exploder.

[/ QUOTE ]
Dont believe its browser dependant, since i get such '[censored]' in basicly any browser i use.

I'm getting sooooooo fed up with this board software. You cant post 2 or more replies at the same time (form bla bla invalid), 90% of the time you get a timeout while trying to post or a form invalid, 10% of the time it is a timeout but 'magicly' your reply is posted.

Been announced last year already, 'beta' stuff was running and yet 5 months later we still got nothing.

haha ironic when i try to post this:
The form you have submitted is no longer valid.

Please use your back button to return to the previous page.

Oh even worse, twice timed out...

Its 'turbocache', aka shared memory.

Those are pretty much at the bottom of performance, i would start at the lowest settings and slower work up.

[ QUOTE ]
So thats the only reason people dont use it? Because the endurance on it is major? Ok after playing a fire/da from 1 - 50 i think i can handle endurance issues pretty well

ATM its a toss between that and the rocket power thingy (saw clip on youtube).

[/ QUOTE ]
Lets make a simple example.

Group of 5 mobs in a small room, you pop the bubble.

From that moment, you can see your Fire/DA as a willpower/regen/stamina/boosted/bluespamming .. thing.

Because its this line:
[ QUOTE ]
Each villain that is repelled costs you additional endurance

[/ QUOTE ]

From a guy in US, wich i think wrote it well:
[ QUOTE ]
Repulsion Field is an unwieldy beast. According to the game, it costs ~0.9 endurance points run AND costs extra endurance per enemy knocked back. What the hell, man? What! The! Hell! That kind of cost, and for what? The ability to keep enemies out of melee range, which I can achieve just as well by, you know, hovering out of melee? What's worse is that I spend half my time in melee. Energy Manipulation's five melee attacks need to see some use, after all, given that they do more damage than Energy Blast's ranged attacks.

[/ QUOTE ]

Look at the other powers in the set, force got Force of Nature (unstoppable style), PFF (woooo run), and temp invul (SL).

Munition got cryo ray (ranged hold - AR based), the body armor (passive bitty of SL), sleep nade (hmm ya it works i think), surveillance (14% def/res - wich can be made perma rather easy) and LRM missile (hasten 3 SO rech 90sec recharge).

Pick what suits your playstyle most, if you melee alot with NRG, dont get that repulsion bubble. Else copy to test and go try there.

[ QUOTE ]
I normally say "elec" as a staple response but I might say Munitions this time just for a change. Its a shame about the early power choice on it though

[/ QUOTE ]
Agree on that, elec is basicly the best allround atm, although on a AR you suffer from redraw on the hold and discharge. And how high or low that dev jumps, it does affect your attack'rate'.

[ QUOTE ]
Originally i was going to go for Force for repulsion field but everywhere i look people says its rubbish? Is it true for a ranged blaster as well?


[/ QUOTE ]
Because it really is

Maybe with conserve power you can knockback a handfull, in all other cases you blow your endurance in mather of seconds.

The new power in Munitions is quite fun to have, surveyance or something. -14% def and res, with a base 45sec recharge.

On the scale of DOWNUT* posts i give you a 10.
