    I'd use it. I've got better channels to do the chattering.

    There aren't any promises in development. Only plans. I'm sure they had planned to make a moderate to big expansion with the EU market. At least the EU support survives, unfortunate that it doesn't thrive instead. Better than the support the Asian market got. That version of CoH/V doesn't even exist now.

    Would a server merge allow me to have an infinite amount of character slots?

    I'll do it! Where do I sign?
  4. bAss_ackwards
    Both the link and data import work for me. Do you have the latest version, 1.94?

    I was disappointed when I read that it would be only happening for 3 hours on my server. What gives? Are these being manually run by developers and GMs?

    I approve! Got a few laughs out of me from those NPC lines.

    Genesis: Summons one of these. The pet only has one Auto Power, which is +Nostalgia. Also, it yells at you every once in a while.

    Hybrid: New travel power. Lets you drive a Hybrid car of your choice. Fully cutomizable, of course.

    Mind: Gives you a new mind. No really. Whenever you press that button a new brain is shipped to your home address. It's the /pizza of City of Heroes. Only it gives you brains.

    Vitae: Drink a bottle of Vitae, Primal Earthling! There's only one way to get the Incarnate-level thirst quenching flavor-flava of pure Power - and it's through the Vitae Incarnate power! (Unlocking this Incarnate power only unlocks the /DrinkVitae emote. There is nothing to slot in it and it cannot be leveled up. 0 calories, 0 sugar, 0 to HERO.)

    And DM/elec is WAY better on a brute. Anything resistance or healing based is better on a brute, and the difference is considerable. The gap is especially large on an Inv, Electric, or a Willpower.

    Sorry, but them's the facts.

    Sort of a shame, really, because I like scrappers a lot more, but the numbers don't lie.

    Much better defenses, easily comparable damage. Especially on a dark/electric, or a fire/willpower. (OMG, fire/electric broot, droool.)
    You know what that means! Nerf Brutes! ... ...

    Goals: Softcap area DEF,Managable Endurance,fast and deadly

    Are you willing to get PvP and Purple IOs?

    This build has good Endurance management, softcapped positional Defense with 1 application of Parry putting Melee at the Incarnate softcap, Build Up + Shield Charge up in 24s, good Regeneration and even better when paired with the Destiny power Rebirth Radial Epiphany, single target attack chain of Hack>Disembowel>Hack>Head Splitter, and AoE attack chain of Slice>Whirling Sword>Slice>Headsplitter. One with the Shield can be paired with Conserve Power to mitigate the 60% Endurance crash. Should be nearly or at the Defense Debuff Resist cap. Achilles' Heel -Res in Hack and a Damage proc in every attack, stack with Interface of Reactive Radial Flawless.

    FPARN!

    Your in-game character is awesome, by the way!

    Shadow clones of your character, with more clones for each rank up. Left side of the tree is more damage, right side causes each additional clone to have an auto-debuff/mez aura of Confuse, -Perception, etc.

    Do it, developers. DO IT.

    Isn't that 4.2 Issues per year? Am I failing at maths here?

    Wow. This and Paragon City Radio (or whatever it was called) are a blast from the past. I remember there was a player run event where they would play music on their station and invite EVERYONE into a single mission to dance and socialize in. A GM noticed this and I think didn't understand what we were doing (instanced partying) and I think they contemplated breaking it up. Hahah.

    How much more do they need to reach cap if they don't? Figuring Spines will already add to it.
    Depends on the enemy. Some have more Resistance to -Recharge and -Movement than others, yeah?

    Does Chilling Embrace stack? Single application does -32% Recharge and -56% Movement.

    Go get a Scrapper to 50 and IO them out! The experience is incredible!

I think I over slotted run on sentence making...
    With Succubus Kali, I've Tanked the AVs, gone on "solo" missions to get the Temp powers in the two facilities for Lambda, amongst other Scrapperlock things. Without ever dying.

    It's been a blast, I'm getting objectives done on the Trials and not letting up on the acceleration.

    I was a little nervous when Mid was passing on the project over. It made me realize that a lot of my fun with CoH and an entire sub-community was in the hands of a few members in the community.

    It's only a matter of when!

    Spines and Ice Armor will be stacking a lot of -Recharge and -Movement. Add in a Gravitic Core Flawless, Cryonic Radial Final Judgement, Seers Core Superior Ally for even more -Recharge and -Movement!

    Please do, a lot of us don't have time or are busy at the moment to get in on these live streams.
