Both what Mega_Jamie and Leandro said could be the problem...but both of them are pretty damn stupid if that's what Imageshack is doing...

Nope. The forums have shown me that it's impossible to solo Trap Door and Apex is a cruel joke by the devs. Stuff is hard

Quote:I agree there. Especially the bolded part. However, personally if I have people on the team where 5 or 10 minutes might mean they won't be able to finish with us unless we finish super fast I usually tell them we probably won't make it...even if we do end up nailing it in the alloted time. Personally, when I'm doing a "speed" TF I don't aim for record times. A speed TF (To me) means skipping what we don't need and going directly for our goals..doesn't have to be done in shortest possible time. However..depending on how the team make ends up, I may aim for that if I see a great potential in the team. Funnily enough, some of my best TF times just happened with no specific team planning.Originally Posted by Nihilii
You're (Wanted_NA) most certainly correct.
On the other hand, at some point you have to ask : how easy exactly does it have to be?
More often than not, the difference between having the "right" ATs or not is the difference between a very easy TF and a merely easy one, or a completion time of 20 minutes against a completion time of 30 minutes (which, admittedly, can be big for people who have limited playtime... If that benefit wasn't nullified by sitting around for 15 minutes during recruiting to get the "right" ATs).
There's one thing I'll give build elitists, it's the Barracuda SF. I did fail it a few times on groups of 4-5 people when we came without defenders or masterminds. Reichsman is tremendously hard to kill if you don't have the unphasing temp power or massive debuffs/damage.
Other than that... Meh!
Whenever I'm recruiting for a TF my broadcasts are usually something like "Room for # on X TF, pst for invite. [buff/debuff/damage] would be nice."
I hardly ever turn people down because of their AT. Except possibly on LGTF when we have no melee/ranged/holds and need it for the Hami mission.
Just enough to not be frustrating IMO. For example, an STF with no meatshield (Tank/Brute/Scrapper/Phantom army/Something with a Taunt and a Jetpack and can take at least one shot from LR's Energy attack) can be done, but Recluse will most probably be a gigantic pain in the rear. Or a Kahn TF with no -resist/Regen debuffs. Sure it's possible, but Reichsman will take a loooooong time to kill. Other than that, I have "preferences", but usually not married to something specific.Quote:On the other hand, at some point you have to ask : how easy exactly does it have to be? -

To me, people asking for specific ATs in a LRSF are no more or no less funny than people asking for specific ATs in a Sister Psyche.
The way I see it. Everything in this game can be done with pretty much any mix of ATs, but some powersets make it easier. -
For about a few weeks now, I have been having problems seeing any images that are hosted on Image Shack on these forums. Be them in signatures, avatars, or pictures in the post itself. All I see is the Frog logo image with an error line of "Domain unregistered, To view, register at imageshack.us".
I went and created an imageshack account, logged in, told it to remember my log in and all that jazz, but I'm still unable to see any of the pictures. I'm most probably missing something extremely obvious with this, but as it stands I can't figure out how to get rid of this annoying problem.
I realize this isn't a CoX or forum specific problem, but I didn't know where to post this except here, lol.
Anyways, any help is appreciated. -
My first character was my Ice/Ice Blaster. He was my first 50 too. I've since moved on to a Fire/Fire blaster who became my first IO'd toon and my current main/strongest character/first incarnate/Main TFer and everything. I just can't get past AoE carnage generally

This is the case for me too. -

Well yeah, lol. -
We need black helicopters in north, Mid, and south of Independence Port.

Before we moved to this new building last year I used to play CoH, and even voice chat, from my office at work all the time. But now in this new office I don't really do it much. I jump on for some WW checking or a few minutes of chatting with friends but don't really do missions/TFs/whatever anymore while at work.
I do, however, do almost all my forum browsing and Mids stuff while at work >.> -

this is why i pick one 50 to stock pile them up..one i enjoy doing it on..and then over the coming days as my other toon gets closer to 50 i start cashing the Amerits in so when i do hit 50 i have them ready. Tho tbh atm i am saving up to get some pvp io's
I have 3 toons that are actively working on gathering A-merits. One of them is hoarding them up to buy Glad Armor uniques, and the other two spend them regularly either via rolls or buying specific stuff. So I know how to manage my A-Merits while gathering them. Problem is, I don't see the logic behind the time-gating. It makes absolutely no sense to me (and pretty much everyone I know in-game as well), that's why I'm asking here if there is any good reason for this.
It's really annoying having enough A-merits to buy something you need but not being able to because of the time restriction.
Flooding the market is a silly excuse. Anyone who wants to flood the market has many other ways to do it. Plus, if I wanted to flood the market with stuff bought with A-merits it takes the exact same amount of time to buy the recipes and store them on toons as I get A-merits until I have a high amount of said recipes as it would take to gather all the A-merits then buy all the recipes at once. So the argument about that is pretty moot IMO. -
I had a level 50 Training IO drop on me in a level 50 TF. I don't remember which one it was but I still have the TO stored in the base for lulz.

I would imagine the buying is gated as well as the earning because it's possible that sometime in the future the might be other ways to earn A-Merits.
And if you stockpile... then spend them on Purples or PvP IOs. That will get rid of the stockpile quite quickly.
Even if there were other ways to earn A-Merits it still doesn't make much sense to me. Flooding the market with recipes bought with A-merits doesn't sound convincing to me. If someone worked hard enough to earn all those A-merits they desreve to spend them the way they want lol. Just like someone who does a few TFs everyday for a couple weeks, ends up with a few thousand reward merits and buys a bunch of expensive recipes with them to sell in the market. Or, a bunch of expensive recipes he needs on a toon he just started IOing out. -
Ok so... I fully understand why we're only able to buy 1 A-Merit every 20 hours and only 1 every Morality mission and stuff.
What I do NOT understand is, why on earth are we limited to SPENDING them once every 20 hours? I mean, like, for example, I spend a month working on hero merits and have like 35 on two toons by the end of the month. That way Whenever I decide to IO out a toon I can buy all the more expensive stuff with my merits, right? WRONG! Can only buy 1 thing every 20 hours, I mean really? Seriously? It makes absolutely no freakin' sense why it's done like that. It is just extremely frustrating, at least for me.
Can anyone give me a good reason why spending the alignment merits is time-gated? -
Personally, two things I would really want in I20:
- Epic Pool power customization: Give us the ability to change those butt ugly epic shields (Frozen Armor anyone?), please. Or in the very very least, just give us the ability to turn their effects OFF, that alone would be wonderful.
- Increase the amount of storage bins that can be placed in bases. -
Quote:I didn't hear of 2 at once. But I know the Kahn WST awarded more than one Notice of the well if you did it again after waiting 18 hours. That lasted 2-3 days then simply disappeared on it's own lol.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Do you mean the bug that sometimes gives you 2 at once?

Favorite? Cold no doubt. But a sane cold, not the stupid type that skips the shields. I agree with Adeon that it takes a lot of investment to get the debuffs perma, but once you get there, no other debuff set can even begin to compare to what Cold can bring.

Quote:It's two separate people playing them, I forgot to mention that :POriginally Posted by SinisterDirge
First, Dual boxing, or two separate players playing them?
Second. Way too many options available. Seriously. Though I would love to see a well coordinated Fire/Rad and Fire/Kin Corr team rip things up.
I kinda like the idea of Fire/Rad and Fire/Kin corrs to be honest.
While the Emp/Sonic 'fender duo would be very solid survivability, killing any large mob is gonna take a while with all the ST damage,and Howl isn't exactly a great attack power =/
The Duo VEAT idea is cool...Not too sure about the Tank

I know this has been asked before, but I haven't seen recent threads of it with the advent of the Alpha slot and whatnot (If there is excuse my pooor search-fu). So, I'm going to ask this now:
If your opinion, what do you consider the "Strongest combo" of two toons is? It can be of any AT and power sets. And for the purpose I'm thinking generally. As in a combo that capable of mass AoE carnage and smiting GMs/AVs easily, Duo-ing all kinds of (Master of) TFs/SFs. A combo that is able to achieve great acts of craziness that other combos will be hard pressed to even think about. Of course, when looking that far, price isn't a problem. I'm thinking, for example, something along the lines of an ill/Emp troller and a Ill/Cold troller would be amazingly powerful. Or Fire^3 Dom and a Fire/Cold corr.
EDIT: I realize the game is pretty easy as is. That's why the difficulty settings are there :P
Thoughts? -

Time:Reward and Risk:Reward are both things that are examined when dealing with an MMO. It's not all Risk:Reward, since there are a wide variety of character types, some of which mitigate risk far better than others.
I just want to know why on earth does the RSF give some many few merits when it clearly should be at LEAST 37 merits to mirror the STF. -

Download that file, put it in your Mids directory, and rename it to mhd.mhz. Then when you load Mids, it should give you a message about an unapplied update and ask you to apply it. Say yes. -

Scrappers that have Taunt auras have them in order to make their powers work.
The Damage auras that some scrappers get (Fire, Electricity, Dark) don't have taunt components.
Invincibility, Rise to the Challenge, and Against All Odds are all pretty worthless without the taunt component keeping the mobs around you, buffing you (and sometimes being debuffed as well).
Everytime I play my /Fire or /DA or /Elec scrappers I curse and curse at the runners. I really wish all scrapper secondaries would get a taunt aura. -
Is there a place for me to download the Database update seperately without using the In-program updater? Because I can't get the Auto-Updater to go through the proxy for the Update even with the proper authorization on my account (My account is administrator level/priviliges). I even tried running both MHDLoader and Mids.exe via the global adminstrator account (Run as) for my network and still ran into the issue. My Proxy server is a regular ISA client if that makes any difference. And I also have the "ISA Client" program installed on my laptpo which allows me to surpass the proxy and be able to play CoH in my office, but doesn't seem to help with Mids.
EDIT: Figured I'd add that I'm using Win XP SP3 if that makes any difference...though I doubt it. -
Ok so that build still turned down on me. Even with the T3 Cardiac my Endurance still suffers when I'm in continuous battles (Farming, or active team). So I have to fix that. I think I'll have to bite it and switch Epics for Energy mastery. I should be able to respec into the new build by tomorrow. If it works out for me I'll post it here.

I solo'd trapdoor on many toons with just SOs, not even generic IOs. Take a couple purples/greens and a stash of Reds. Eat a ton of reds, and wail on Trapdoor till he dies. Drag him in the lava if you need too.
