So it is with regret that we must announce that Tabula Rasa will end live service on February 28, 2009.
Before we end the service, well make Tabula Rasa servers free to play starting on January 10, 2009.
[/ QUOTE ]
So a good 2 weeks and its over.

Not quite the same if you're a new player and want to see the quests as well.
[/ QUOTE ]
true true. Added, you need many logo's anyway to use skills, those who rush to high lvl still have to go back and get all logo's. -
So some people get fired, sorry to be so harsh but what else is new?
If you followed the news lately, basicly every company and game dev/publisher is kicking people to cut costs and fight against the dropping economy.
Personaly i wont even be suprised if their new comming games wont even release in Europe, only US (and cover europe as playground). NCwest will be big HQ, while NC brighon will remain as a 'side office' to cover the commercial stuff (localised support, sales yadiya).
Or, this whole thing is just the 'end of' closure for Tabula. Maybe they had 55 people on tabula, who will face the end very soon. -

What lvl do the careers divide? 5, 15, 30?
Going to use the hyper xp boosters tonight and see how high i can get.
[/ QUOTE ]
1 evening? If you can start straight with red weapons and the xp booster lvl40 isnt far away in 1 evening
(i did 18 to 35 in about 1,5 hour). -

There will be SOME form of expansion/box presence at some point later this year, possible around the time of the 5th anniversary.

Another costume like cyborg or valkiry? I'm soooo in
(ok.. next to CoH2 my 2 favo's would be going rogue and removal of warwalls).
[/ QUOTE ]
Going rogue and robes would be good, at the same time would be better. I was real robes!
[/ QUOTE ]
Hmmmm better, for 'better' my list would be pretttehehey big -

Really I suppose the questions hould be "which server is the most active"
[/ QUOTE ]
plain speaking, that would be US server. But in EU, i put my bets on Union, specialy in the later hours i tend to have a party bit more often then on defiant, hero side that is.
On villian side i usualy grab a lower lvl along, my MM can do pretty nice so its more for fighting the boredom of solo and helping out some others with exp(i mostly do newspaper anyway - straight forward stuff).
-
If you get in game, Rince is the name
Oh forgot to mention, for the last day event its good to be 50. So mobs drop hyper exp boosts, giving 2000% exp bonus. So even starters have a chance of reaching 50 -
Longbow and carnies (the lady with the burn torch) also have burn indeed.

Tabula is what AoC was not. Both had a very very rough start, along with some major changes shortly before launch, yet Tabula made up a huge chunk of issues.
I have few lvl30ish character, they diversity is pretty big between them, though forced to dropping playerbase they had to make the game 'easier' (read solo) to keep people playing. Few days before the 'big word' they even showed the PAU's, luckely they are still added after they announced closure.
I will miss this game though, no other game ever could give the feeling when the base was attacked by bane, trying to fight them off with a hand full of people. Or taking a base back, great PvE activity. And opening fire with a lvl2 chaingun fully buffed was plain fun
Sad part, they did announce the future maps will involve going back to earth (refering partly to richard himself), but afaik this never made it live
Goodside, we got lotsa goodies when they announced closure, biggest one is the Aion beta acces and 1 free month, along with LA2 and CoH free months. -
Even the biggest Elitist can be the biggest noob. Even 40+ vet badges, and they still wont read player description or search comment. So on my dedi empath, i had a few 'why are you not attacking' replies, so when i eventualy start running it and spam my brawl (its slotted!) they call me noob for doing so..
But its just the evolution of online gaming, everyone knows best, everyone dissagree with him is a big noob and should go learn some facts. Be it this game, or any other MMO i play(ed), same ol'. -
Yup, only EMP can afaik, but duration is short and recharge is too long to actualy use it efficiently. I dont solo AV's anyway, EB is possible with enough damage output anyway.
And in worse case, i believe a nukerocket also give -regen. -
The only think i can think off, redraw. But stacking -res, -def, slow, i love it
Now if they ever would make a patron pool for bows, i would be very happy.

Basically, its a request to merge the EU and US Server lists. Which has been suggested before. I know actualy server merges are frequent-request topics, cant remember if list merges was.
[/ QUOTE ]
Not really a merge, but just 1 sub for both servers.
Even if you now take 2 subs, you loose your entire veteran reward system. Its kinda what GW has done, servers are still seperated from eachother, but you can freely swap between them. -
Awww, you were offended? Sad boy.
At least someone did post, makes a difference there isnt it?
Anyway, you dont believe it, so be it. I played mine long enough to know the difference between them. If you try to put words my side that i didnt say, so be it.. but dont try to be a [censored] thinking u are right.
(i never said the word ST, i said outdamage. Farm, groups, etc, get the picture? Probably not)
And dont worry, my EU sub runs out end of the month, i'll be gone by themUS eventualy is a better place afterall.
-
I ordered it
Some day i will have a sketch of my own character, but until that day the book will do just find
-
Would be today or when IO's were out only a while? My most expensive LotG was only 15million
In total i maybe spent 100mil max, EM only can rely on epic pool for any decent AoE while SS still have 1 of the best AoE's.. footstomp.
-
Ahh forgot the new cr.. pvp. Even then i dont believe they would perform any better then all the other primairies.
-
Hmmmm... no.
They got few nice gimmicks, but any class with a breakfree trashes your mercs faster then you can say 'shoot them!'.
In PvP SL is the most and commonly resisted of em all, even if you can lockdown a oponent, they merely are tickeled by the damage your mercs do. Only against melee and a trashload of -slow (no use against ice/ then) you have a change, or at least my Merc/TA had.
Added, all the 'gimmicks' tier2 have are all on a rather long recharge, relying on them is bad.
Bots would be way nicer, as they also have heal abilties, their are less stupid. Even Thugs are pretty fun in PvP, although i true like my necro. They are squishy, but they got more control and have nice -tohit debuffs. -
Ice/nrg, my very first blaster (i think i was 1st or 2nd of the server reaching 50 back then), still is a awsome set.
My choice always was storm, it stacks lovely with blizzard. Frost breath i never took, i see ice/nrg has a single target fighter with a great set of holds (3 if u pick an epic too) along with boosts that make ice/ ever greater. (powerboost to increase hold duration, boost range for further blizzard and bitter ice blast).
Only side downside, unlike many other primairy, the nuke aint a instant BOOMM! Leeeroy style booming just aint ice style, standing behind a corner (it doesnt require LoS) is ice style -

i dont do story stuff
[/ QUOTE ]
TBH its no wonder you find the content dull if you don't do most of it.
Personally I hate the zones and most of the villain groups in CoV and hate most of the AT's but the one thing CoV does have is a good set of story arcs, together with some nice SF's and nice maps.
[/ QUOTE ]
I already done it like 5 times now, heroes even more. The main issue with story-arcs.. travel. Over and over, back and forth, waste of time because the *$%#&$& NPC let you go talk with some other NPC at the other side of paragon city.. Cell phones guys, use them.
Heroes were way different, few story arcs are nearly all done in PI itself. Those i really enjoyed, little travel and very different then villains. -
[ QUOTE ]
the wow factor is when you hand entire purple mobs their backsides on a silver platter. With 8 mini-nukes.
Tell me THAT doesnt seem awesomeThey might look plain, but its the horrendous ammount of damage that counts ^^
[/ QUOTE ]
I have 5 other characters that can do the exact same.
But, aside, it might be my overal dislike of CoV, the dull content (i dont do story stuff), repetative mobs valore, only MM could interest me. (maybe domi, but my 34 couldnt catch em). -
[ QUOTE ]
Yes, once they get past level 24.
The first 24 levels are a bit of a slog until you get to specialise apparently.
[/ QUOTE ]
I gave up mine at 16, couldnt be a..ed to continue. That mistress set aint nothing more then a SR-claw scrapper with a few psi tricks, soldier wasnt really 'fun' either.
Kheldians are different, 3 forms to choose from, dozen ways to play it. And the first time you cast dwarf is really a WoW thingie, unlike some crab-thingies on your back.
Added, even on US i team alot, i basicly never see them. -
What about SS? EM is nice to high single target, but SS has some sweet stuff around too
The build you posted is pretty much my fire/EM build, but my stone/SS still can ditch out more damage ironic. -
Stalkers and brutes.
Stalkers, gimped scrappers that need carefully placed hits, use placate gimmicks, meh, not me.
Brutes, not a tank, not a scrapper. Often fully focused on getting your fury up asap, not my style (although have 3 of em mid 20s). I like my scrapper more, he got a broadsword
And finaly, in common, dual blade. I dont like it, animations are really meeeeeeeeeeh, the **** walk animation, nope not me. -
All heals of secondairy (poison/dain domi/trap/dark or even aid other) will work on your pets. Even team heals such as thermal or kin also work on pets, along with all buffs they carry (or insperations).
Basicly the only thing not working on pets are ress powers.
