Stalemate

I'm on the verge of getting my first epic power now at 41, and I love this character. This guide was instrumental in helping me make some hard choices and I often get comments expressing wonder as how I can make all this work together.

The only reason the levelling has been slow is because I still focus so much attention into my main. Even at 50, he still gets about half my available gaming time.

Body Mastery, here I come!

Awesome.

I need one of those badly.

Interesting guide.

I'm using my third Nostromo now (started with the n50 version with Quake 3) and love it.

I'll need to see how I can adapt mine to my own playstyle as well. Thanks for the idea.

Does this mean I should cancel the Friday Night Fight going on at around the same time?

Heck no!

The Treasure hunt took about an hour when we tested it internally. We'll be done by the time the following event takes place (3 hours between them).

Thanks for asking though.

Hmm... I forgot the "other" CoH one in my upload frenzy: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b9.../Misc/coh5.jpg

Here is a sample for an ingame character: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b9...ate/stale1.jpg

Nice work! Can you make any for CoV?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't play villains, ever, but this I *can* do.

Not this weekend, but early next week.

I'll also try a few more CoH-themed versions with other styles and perhaps do my main character also.

You've seen them elsewhere in other forums for games/movies/etc: userbars or ubars.

Here are a few I whipped up just because I couldn't find any for CoH.

I used a little tutorial I found here: http://www.userbars.org/index.php?te...rbars_tutorial

I'm thinking anyone can whip this up with screenshots of their own characters.

I propose CuppaJo coffee shops in game!

Why not? We've got Paragon Pizza, Infront Steak House, Hungry Dragon, City of Gyros... It's time Paragon had coffee shops too.

Now that's a tribute. Permanent. In-game. And very fitting.

/signed.

Make it an Internet Café also.

It's a shame the Praesidium coalition on Protector didn't get to complete its 2nd Herolympics event planning in time for you to attend (as you had promised since missing the first one).

We'll miss you Cuppa, and will always have a fresh pot brewing just in case.

Excellent!

More pie for you.

Please bring back lots of screencaps.

Thank you for this guide.

I've reached level 20 just recently with my DM/DA and play him like a tank (I play all my toons like tanks... ) and your guide has cleared up some slooting questions and long-term viability issues I was facing.

Excellent.

Essentially, each hit (if successful) will give you a short term damage buff. Different powers would have different buffs; but if you could string enough hits together you can "peak" your damage.

Quoted from Statesman.

And then he gave it to brutes.


[/ QUOTE ]

This is too funny.

Not only that, he gave the current tanker inherent in a slightly weaker form to brutes too as a FREEBIE!!

Yup.. we can see what he was thinking... COV is where the new customers are.

And one of the reasons I chose not to play it.

Still loving CoH, even if CoH doesn't love me back as much as it used to.

...If you're looking to solo in PvP, you should play a Scrapper or a Stalker.

[/ QUOTE ]

I will not play CoV, and especially not my most hated of foes, the stalker (/e gag)

And as for playing a scrapper, while I'm grateful for your recommendation on what I should play after almost 2 years of CoH gaming (and do have one in the works btw ), I must wonder why it is that after all the talk of "any AT can solo" comments like that should even be offered?

I'm not flaming you buddy, just pointing out that some ATs are less equal than others and that PvP is making that flagrantly obvious.

...I don't understand what it is that tanks want for PvP. Are you guys actually wanting to hold agro solo for another team of 8?

[/ QUOTE ]


I want to be able to go to a PvP zone and be able to defeat opponents (as a tanker, yes. I must be mad), not *just* give others more time to defeat the enemy.

Gauntlet in PvP wil not make my gaming more enjoyable, and will require my playstyle to change to an even more supporting, "passive" team role that may be better served with a controller or defender.

I realize that tanks (like khelds) fit right in between the damage dealing blasters and scrappers on one side and the more support-oriented ATs of controllers and defenders on the other, but it would be nice to actually be able to solo in those zones a bit.

Gauntlet, while taking away nothing from soloing it's true, adds nothing to my PvP survivability.

[ QUOTE ]

Fires are definetly the place to get those damage badges, if not enough people are there, that thing blows dealing usually over 100k damage (at least to me)

[/ QUOTE ]

Are you and Frobozz up there buddies?

Last time I fought a fire I got about 250K in damage.

Good times.

[ QUOTE ]
I get what you're both saying, but unless they're substantially changing what Gauntlet does, I see Tanks going from "nigh-useless in PvP" to "just annoying", like they were before they changed how Taunt worked.

Honestly, if the possibility of anyone remaining perma-Taunted is there, it's gonna be a pain.

Personally, I don't want Tanks given usefulness in PvP at the expense of other players enjoying themselves.

QFT.

Finding a purpose in PvE teams was already a chore some days, now we'd need to turn to self-promoting for PvP as well.

"But, I can make *your* game time more enjoyable!"

Slightly different...

*not* the W00t Radio one

Ecstacy of Gold, by Ennio Morricone.

This is only because a SG buddy used it as a soundtrack for our SG promo video and I found it so fitting I can't imagine any other song associated with my main now.

The fact that he uses a Metallica intro which samples that song (DJ Buzz from W00t Radio) on his weekly show only makes it better.

Just slapped this one on my fav list and I don't even have CoV yet.

Thanks buddy.
