The melting snow collected into icicles that tore off about 30 feet my gutter.

On top of that, I went two days without hot water and finally was able to take a real shower this morning.

I'm in NoVA, and loving the snow. Looks like we have about 4 inches now, on our way to 2 feet.

I've been taking a break from CoH, but the fact that I can't do anything will keep me in-game more than I planned. I have a few other things planned that don't require going outside, but they are all in preparation from a business presentation on Tuesday morning, and that may not happen if we can't dig out fast enough!

I'm kinda taking a break. Not playing at all during the week, and about halved my play time over the weekends. While the new story, zones, and graphics will be awesome, I don't have a whole lot of new characters I want to make, or characters that are going to switch sides. (One exception: my brute will become a hero and finally complete his story that involves two characters and a MA arc.)

So, it'll be nice when it gets here, but I'm not going crazy for it.

There will always be min/maxers who work to create the optimal build, and those who do their best to copy those builds.

ED, and by extension the invention system, allowed people to be creative with their builds, removed many of the "required" powers, and allowed the creation of niche characters.

Awesome, the broken pages were a typo which is now banished!

I'm looking at wanted pages in the wiki, and one that keeps showing up is the page for /inspirationSlot... Is this a real slash command?

I know /inspexec_slot exists, as does the wiki page for it, but I want to double check before I delete the references to /inspirationSlot (and I don't feel like logging on right now).

My two favorite arcs are both in the 40-44 range:

Division: Line and The Eternal Nemesis

It seems pretty clear to me that hero ATs are much more specialized than their counterparts in the Rogue Isles. Looking at the ATs, you have the following:

Hero:

Defense/Damage
Damage/Defense
Control/Buff
Buff/Damage
Damage/Damage*

Villain:

Damage/Defense
Damage/Defense
Damage/Buff
Damage/Buff
Control/Damage

Since all ATs are going to be able to play on both sides once GR releases, are we going to see the specialist ATs of heroes replacing lynch pins in villain superteams? Are we going to see villain ATs that do more damage ovverrun some of the hero specialists?

I'm imagining some really sick superteams that can only be put together in co-op zones right now, like a tank and 7 corruptors.

Technically, any M/ERP is against the CoH Code of Conduct:

Right now, the Security Chiefs in the zones are useless. They give out one hunt and then just stand there the rest of the game.

I propose removing the hunt mission from the regular contacts and turning the Security Chiefs into radio-like contacts. You can get hunts or door missions in their appropriate zones, dealing with the groups that inhabit that zone.

That way, if people really want to do hunts, they can, and people who don't like hunts won't get stuck with them from normal contacts quite as often...

They're unlocked by the Roman/Centurion badges. The names on the pics don't match with the names on the list, but I don't know enough to match them.

We got 18-20" in Alexandria, VA. My Statesman, Manticore and Lord Recluse heroclix are going to have to fight a real Lord Winter soon!

Like I've said before, the entire marketing dept is a guy named Ross who sits on Positron's shoulders and says "Not yet!"

Similarly, resistance powers can take effect during an animation. If you're being hit by a DoT and toggle on a resistance toggle, the remaining damage ticks will be decreased.

I have a series of characters based on my main, Electrilux. The original is an elec/elec blaster on Triumph. I also have a WS named Little Lux on Triumph.

On Virtue, he decided to merge with a Kheldian and became the PB named Lux Eternae.

On Guardian, he started his hero career, but was defeated and captured by the Lost. He began his conversion to the Rikti, but was rescued by another hero and now fights crime as Luc'Trelix, BS (rikti sword)/WP scrapper.

On Infinity, he was killed when his Praetorian counterpart invaded, and once GR comes out, I'll be making an evil elec/elec blaster since none of the villain electricity options are as fun as blasting.

I'm sure I'll make other alternate versions of him as time goes by.

I've been SpaceNut (with numbers appended on larger communities) since 1999 when I first signed up for AIM. I'm nuts about spaceflight and space in general.

This should answer most of the questions regards defense mechanics: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Defense

Very cool stuff. Looking forward to seeing what might happen in-game.

Is he level 3 yet?

Alternatively, did he buy it in the Arena? Arena temp powers work only in the Arena.
