The DPS/End on Ignite is absolutely immense. Seriously, vast. Get an Immob'd or fear-immune AV (most of them), and the damage from repeated ignites is just... well... magnificent.
[/ QUOTE ]
But, it was a compensation against the lack of aim. Specialy end content there was a vast majority that has a very high resistance against SL, only ignite and (back then gimped) flametrower could do other damage.
Added, the rooting still makes AR (and archery to a lesser) a 'below' avarage set compared to all the others (except psi).
I did enjoy my AR/ice really alot, sidenote it was slotted more expensive then any toon i probably had next to my tanker, ignite was part of this attack.
Buckshot still is [censored] for my /ice, icepatch needs mob on them, not knocked off them (along with that grenade). Flametrower became a slight bit better, but imho still not par with flame or ice breath (they have sortlike cone abilities).
And dispite rednames might state so, redraw wil always be an issue, even with spines (domi or sortlike). After all these years it still is weird that a brawl attack can be done holding the gun in your other hand, but any other power from a /secondairy using the exact same hand has to magicly remove the weapon. -
But but.. but still Aion is great
(actualy the first game i serious consider leaving CoX for) -
Every freaking forum i visit i see these google posts.. sigh.
-
Aion has animated hair!!
(now if anyone can give me a speedcourse korean, i would be very happy) -
The power to test this with, Surveillance of the blaster epic pool.
As this is afaik the only power that has +analyze, a stat that show your target's values in the combat window. Added that it has a -res and -def component, but i'm not sure if powerboost actualy boost -def.
Other then that, i can give it a go on Frozen Armor, wich has +def and +res, wich should be shown on the combat window. -
[ QUOTE ]
Heh, you sure? I could've sworn any powers with enhanceable +Res are flagged to ignore buffs.
[/ QUOTE ]
afaik each element of a power has its own flag. Just like dmg is unaffected by powerboost, yet the accuracy is boosted (buildup on a /nrg powerboost blaster). -

That's what's so scary.
Tell me... what AT is best for the raids now?
[/ QUOTE ]
Overal me think any with AM due the +rech and stuff (corrupter?), but seeing this movie, any AT would do as long you have the nukes, pets and good eye for reading tactics
but, dispite it just looks awsome to see like 50 nukes falling down, is this a true 'hero' achievement? Or merely a 'tactic use of all temps available ingame'? -
As said, kinda useless (i only had it once, prob the same day i respeced it out again).
Its a mini unstoppable, nice and stuff, but giving your pet the buff and send him in a group of mobs actualy wont help much. Since he is 99% ranged, 1 out of 100 he might hit 2 mobs with any attack he has.
Now if a bruiser of thugs would get this power, that would be funor any melee pet for that mather.

nowadays? Plain easy: newspaper missions.
I have a 42 and 45 vet account, i got sick and tired of traveling the entire paragon city for 1 freaking mission, digging through every little corner for the 'defeat all' or cant find a stupid glowy. The first bunch of missions of a contact you have to travel forth and back, specialy pre-travel this is a plain nightmare. Not to mention the choice of mobs, some are just plain annoying against my toons (malta with their 40sec stun..). Only later i do the older missions that give certain badges for the accolades, nothing more.
Newspaper is easy, you can pick out of 3, big chance its your kind of mob, your kind of mission, and always in your zone. -
Leveling pact is optional, made for those who like to lvl together, stay together, like batman and robin. Sideway altoholics get a slight easier chance of getting more lvls done in less time (offline xp thingie).
But, lik with the dual build option, it is not for everyone. Dual build is [censored] for me, i cant affort a entire new set of IO's for my toon, likewise you are not the 'right' person for the lvl pact.
I had a pact with a troller, who decided to stop at lvl24. Bad? No, at least i had a enjoyable time in those 24, sure i could have been higher if i started solo, but thats the risk of the pact.
I think this setup is thought up very very carefully to counter the majority of possible exploits. The only way is now to PL 1 of the pact from 1 to 50, without any chance of 'swapping' or timeouts. Make it more open, creates alot opportunities to PL etc.
(nevertheless, you still can get 2 lvl50s in a noticable shorter time then to PL just 1, by swapping them and proper use of the patron exp).
Again, its 100% optional. Like dual builds, PvP, zombie-IO slotting, ourobos system or farming. It might not suite you, but they made it on a correct way to please the masses. -
And people still wonder why US Devs hardly read here?
Maybe cause very topic derails in trashtalk like this?

On the issue of server mergers, there are no plans to do so at the current time. Should that ever change, you will receive plenty of notice. There are quite large technical hurdles that would need to be resolved before anything of this sort were to occur.
[/ QUOTE ]
At the current time, keyword. Even if there are no plans, it remains a possibility. By accepting the possiblity, it will be easier IF they eventualy decide to do so, to accept and move on. So even if it will never happen, you always keep it in mind IF eventualy it does happen.
I was, no i am, a happy Tabula player, the closure came quite unanounced, but since people would 'expect' it to happen it was less hit in the face.
(ironicly speaking, was there 'any plan at that time' the sudden closure of the NC office happened?) -
Stuff happens, LA2 got into positive numbers again and a logical step from NC and pala..thingiename.
The thing that amaze me though, the 'badly against' server merge people. Put it simple, if NC decide to do so, it will be done. Better to keep it in mind, accepting the posibility it can happen. Sure, a few will have a name issue, sadly nothing to do about it.
Eventualy its all about keeping a game alive, be it on staff, on server(costs), or any form of merging. And if there are priorities, i'm pretty sure we (EU) wont be high on the list. New MMO's, relaunch succeses, NC can easily shift people over (like GR could even go Aion europe for that mather), along with the unstable economy it are merely logical steps.
Sets are added, finaly people's wish is granted, 1 month later they hit 50 and want another new set. As they said, you cant please em all. -

To put it simple:
you're bored of the game. simple.
You can find dozen of things that might be wrong about the game, but it doesnt change the fact you're bored with the game. For many its already close to 4 years, 4 years where you develop your own life and you change in preferences and other things get priorities.
See it like bubblegum, i saw this a while ago on kitchen science. If you chew it, eventualy it looses flavor. Its done, over, you wanna trow it away. But if you take a sugar, then start eating again suddenly the flavor is back. But the bubblegum never changed.
Take a break, enjoy life, maybe some day you stumble upon the game again and give it a spin once more. It keeps you happy for a while again, untill boredom kicks in again.
GG is right sometimes -

if you also include the fact that NCSoft licenced the latest Unreal Engine for three titles I think it was. I'd guess Guild Wars 2, Lineage 3 and, erm, ahh, er, take a wild stab in the dark?
[/ QUOTE ]
I believe it was "Blade and Soul" which is currently in development
*edit* According to the Wikipedia page for Lineage 3... it isnt using the Unreal 3 engine anymore, and instead they are developing their own.
[/ QUOTE ]
LA3 probably has to do with the old dev team of LA2. Most of them moved over to another company and making Project S1, also based on the unreal engine.
Aion was a cry engine, although heavely modified. I thought Blade & Soul was also based on cry engine, but could pretty much be unreal engine.
Nevertheless, CoH could use a fresh new oneBut voice/sound acting, isnt this a bitty 'too late'?

Even more funny, my black aura on thermal buffs is gone
(i dont have to run in admin mode though)
I really like windows 7, quite a bunch of new nice features and it 'feels' faster. -

A similar situation occurred in the world of PC hardware, almost three years ago now. AMD was in a position of dominance, and in its hubris, released a new socket that needed a new CPU and RAM, making all old systems obsolete. At the same time, Intel pushed out the AwesomeMcPants Core 2 Duo, which everyone still wants to own to this day. If AMD supported their old platform a bit more, they could have held on to more users, but instead they presented them with the need to completely switch platforms. And if you were going to switch, you wanted the best value, which was the Core 2. This... ritual suicide committed by AMD is a bleeding wound that they still haven't recovered from.
[/ QUOTE ]
If NC gonna play like AMD brought the Phenom II, its gonna be a good oneIts fast, cheap and most of all, backwards compatible (AM2+). In CoH terms, more better and without loosing your character

sound like we getting a bath robe....come out fighting crime with a Loofah and a rubber duck....don't underestimate the duck power's
[/ QUOTE ]
so you're proposing a new power set to go with it then: "Flicking bath towels"?
[/ QUOTE ]
I hear the pack also comes with a new power, Open Bath Robe (effect: AoE/cone stun).
[/ QUOTE ]
No, that power is based on personal settings and on targeted mobs.
It can do fear, stun, mock or taunt -

The way he say it, i gues there will be new sets or either based on existing sets. -
This is btw done once. We took down the freak AV (forgot his name), with 1 Fire tanker and 7 AR blasters. Yes that was fun, but pretty much any other sortlike setup with other sets would do it 5 times faster.
No Aim, mainly SL, if it wasnt you it would root you for ages (FA and FT), the everlasting redraw in combo with your secondairy.. no good, no good at all.
I will say goodbye to Ignite on my Ar/Ice in style:
LOOK!! Burning ice!!
(icepatch/ignite).
The only light on the end of the tunnel, beanbag and slug got a lower casting time, along with FT/FA. But wont compensate my loss of ignite.
(and probably, merc wont get this buff)
Hm, now checking Corrupter patron powers, probably the reason it got heavy nerfed. 2 sets have aoe immobilize, being a /kin or such it was a tad too strong. But the original set, AR/dev get hit straight in the face of this. -
Poison offensive wise is a bad thing. Afaik poison was always the 'non type' damage. Poison of MM is plain supportive (be it debuff or heal), it could have been based on any element (fire for example).
In that line, it would suit controller, corrupter or defender as a debuff set. -

A question came up on the other thread.
That the application of the Valk pack bumps up your vet reward time by a month?
Have I misunderstood or would it be the case if I have 2 months left to my next vet reward (important one this, nemesis staff) that applying the valk code would reduce this to 1 month till reward.
Doesnt seem right but great if its true?????
[/ QUOTE ]
Not the case, as said its put in 'reserve'. Likewise, if you got a brand new account and pay 12months straight away, you wont get veterans untill your playtime reach the needed vet.months (so 3 months after your payment you will get your first one).
Jay is good, unlike many games that just trash in huge clipping clothing, his standard is a taddy higher. Like the valk set, you can use different gloves to counter the shield clipping.
