If I reverified every time, about 25% of my playtime would be watching the verify process. And it's also insanely inconvenient if you happen to crash during a mission, or worse, a task force.

    I just have a second shortcut that bypasses the verification so I can get back in-game immediately.
    I didn't realize how outdated this thread was.

    I have never heard about the memory leak issue either.

    Crashing every hour has to be ******.
  2. Damn...stressing over having to wait 20 minutes to play the game.
    I suggest taking a little time away from CoH...get your priorities straight.
  3. So your carrying a canoe through the jungle and a wheel falls off...how many pancakes does it take to shingle a roof?
  4. Make the Tank only, and I mean only, if you actually want to Tank for teams.

    DM/WP as a scrapper is nasty if built well.

    Obviously the Tank is going to be more survivable but...in my opinion...a DM/WP Scrapper is far better than a WP/DM Tank.

    Brutes on paper

    Yep...I screwed up.

    I was making my WP/SS Tank into a SS/WP Brute for Going Rogue and Fury got to me.

    I always read on here about people being a slave to fury. I would always just dismiss it.
    I now know first hand what they were talking about.

    I wanted this character for Going Rogue damnit...now I'm going to have five level 50 Brutes before Going Rogue even comes out.

    Fury...you have renewed my interest to the highest it's been in this game...but at what cost?

    I am now a villain...you basterd.

    Yeah I always take Jab, Punch and Haymaker ASAP.
    I normally put 3 to 4 slots in Punch and 4 in Haymaker ASAP so they do respectable damage. I leave Jab alone until later on...around levels 25 to 30.

    At lvl 10 I have High Pain Tolerance and Mind Over Body for WP and Jab, Punch and Haymaker from SS. Also I have combat Jumping and plan to take Super Jump... is Acrobatics worth taking as well since I'll already have two reqs?

    Should I focus more on defense or offense while slotting? or does it really even matter while lvling? I made him so long ago that he has a free respec and figure if I've done anything wrong now's a good time to fix it lol.
    Acrobatics is not worth taking.

    What to focus on...depends on your play. If you strictly team...slot for defense. If you strictly solo...slot for offense.
    I try to balance it.

    Sidenote: I would have picked Rise to the Challenge as soon as it was available and I would have picked up Indomitable Will at level 10.

  9. FURY!!

    The best thing since sliced bread.

    Unbelievably amazing.

    A game within a game.

    Plainly, purely, simply awesome.

    That is all.

    I want to because of Going Rogue.
    I want to because playing CoV is the only way to get Brutes right now.

    I'm going to play villains because I cannot wait for Going Rogue to launch and I want to play a Brute right now.

    I never even thought about playing a villain until they announced GR.

    Finally being able to have a high damaging Super Strength character.

    Basically...the reason I'm going to play villains when I don't want to be a villain is because I'm impatient.

    PS, I wasn't rude.
    Sorry...I got caught up in my post...the rude part was not for you...but the poster before you.

    Really? You can't wrap your head around that?
    So I'm guessing you can't wrap your around why not everyone steals or robs banks or kills people?

    Joking aside...it's really psychologically for me.

    Even if I break it down to the fact that it's just a video game...I can play CoV and obviously not actually be evil...but I just have more fun playing a hero.

    The OP wasn't asking why "we", the player base, haven't added it...but if "we", the player base" know anything about why it isn't there yet. The OP just needs to word it better.

    If you know what someone is asking...just give them your answer...no need to be rude about it.

    New Big Bads

    I think we need a new big bad or two.
    Focusing on the alternate versions of Statesman (Reichsman and Tyrant) being the big bads is getting old.
    Hell...in my opinion it would even be better to have LR come up with more evil schemes.

    Basically...I think they should create a new big bad character. Obviously not someone on the exact level of LR but close.

    It's just getting boring having to deal with alt statesmans as the main villain.

    "defeat"......well....you get it

    watching sparks fly off of human flesh when I hit them wth my katana, like it's an episode of power rangers, lol.

    in conclusion, I want a 18+ version. Or a blood on/off option.....or both
    I know it always says defeat them. That's what I meant when I said "kill".

    Brutes on paper

    I recently started lvling a WP/SS tanker and then found out about GR. Playing a brute or any villain AT on heroside is very appealing to me.

    My question is not whether or not brutes are fun I played one very briefly and only stopped as I don't really care for red side that much. What I want to know is how similar is a SS/WP brute compared to a WP/SS tank?

    I know they're different but still being relatively new to the game (my highest lvl toon is 30) I'm not really familiar with a lot of things and I don't want to keep lvling my tanker if lvling a brute with similar powersets will feel stale. I've tried the other powersets briefly but I'm a huge fan of SS for some reason... well I know what the reason is... SMASH!!!
    I started a thread in the Archetypes & Powers General Discussion that regards your question.
  18. Thanks for all the advice so soon.

    I've also heard that CoV is a great place to knock around Arachnos outside of missions.

    That's "alright"...if that happened, at least every AT will feel the effects.
  20. I'm switching for one reason and one reason only...to re-create my Tank as a Brute and still be a hero.
  21. My only level 50 and my only main...WP/SS Tank. It's iconic. It's the powers that I wish I could have. The only character I consistantly play. Basically the only character I ever play. Some think I'm crazy for only using one character for the better part of two years but in doing so it helped me build up inifinite influence, to further my consistant play of this character, in being able to completely IO him out.
    This character would be my only level 50 if it wasn't for Going Rogue.
  22. I'm going to make a Brute version of my Tank and switch him to CoH when Going Rogue comes out.

    Are there any missions in CoV that make you "kill" civilians or anything like that.

    I really want to start playing him now, but I'm obviously going to have to do the villain missions.

    How many of the missions are clearly evil?
  23. What thread should I go to so that I can read up on everything we know about Going Rogue.
