  1. That's true. In my first month I've learned to use the attack with the longest animation last, to let a couple of tiks of end come back after the cost and the animation still continues, as well as cooldown for the other moves, etc. It works for me sometimes. I suppose that did teach me soemthing about end management, but when you're a fury-addicted Brute, you get torn often in the heat of the moment. Smashy-smashy!
  2. LOL, gone to teh golden girl!

    Yup, I'm happy to log in here and bla bla bla it up at work everyday. everyone I come into contact with online or the forums has been great in my piddly 9 months lol

Same for ignite, and all the other ammo types if you get the picture. Anyone else think that would be cool?

    That would remind me of Borderlands a little to much. Not that that wouldn't be sweet, I luvs me B-lands....

    My point....proven. XD
  5. I'll stray from the path a bit and advertise my Bots/DM. Just as fun imo, plus you get an extra H34lzor pet.

  8. that Mastermind one had me lolling, Steel.
  9. I see where Claws is coming from, but I still can't help but agree with Techbot.

    It's true, ultimately, the well-known slow ride past those last 6 levels can be painful, but then in retrospect, not so bad. The problem I get with it is that by the time I'm lvl 16, redside of course , I'm in cap fighting a lot of CoT. CoT and their DoT will TKO my butt unless I can take them out quickly, which sometimes calls for an extra cup of end. Once 20 hits, actually no, once 21 hits and stam is slotted a bit, that's when I start to notice a difference. Personally I'd like to see heath and stamina switched places, but i can see that only working for some, but definitely not all.

I have a Dominator with thorn plant powers and they don't really gel and some of them are jhust the same thing: two abilities that trap the opponent are pretty much identical. Furthermore, beyond enhancements (which only really give a little boost to your abilities), there is nothing else. There's no talent point system or means to further customise your stuff. Don't get me wrong; it's not bad by any means, it's just not terribly deep. This may well be mitigated when you are playing in a group, but without players that's not an option. The areas are totally devoid of other players. There's not a single other player character on screen. Now that may be because they are all higher level and engaged in high level gameplay, but that's not really any better. I'm not reainstalling and starting all over again just to play on US servers. If no one in the UK/EU is playing on local servers then that's just too bad. If the game is more popular in the states then fine. But i'm not mucking around on the offchance it won't have lag problems (because it will).
    Maybe try a Mastermind instead? Masterminds are really fun.

  12. Oh man auto-demoralize would be sweet. confusion secondary effect would be sweet too!
    What set are you using, Filch?
  13. My first brute to get to 50 was a EM/WP brute. the atacks are a lil slow but not very costly when Quick recovery and stamina combined.

    I'm plowing through missions with a claw/EA brute right now. Loving it.
  14. Ouch dude, I'd be pi**ed too. I have a GPU that LOVES to crash right in the middle of SFs.
    Not on paper mishes, not at the BM where it happens to be toggle day that day, not at a huge Costume contest, nope! Right when I need good processing the most. But the consistency you're getting, geez......bad enough that you had time to post a thread about it before trying again. That does suck.
  15. that's true. My stalker doesn't team very much lol. Not too much of a teaming aspect I find. When he does, I give him the job of taking out anyone that's on the corrs or doms on the team so the brute doesn't have to worry about it.

    Yah it's a sweetie when RoP or Soul Transfer gets in on it. Even my /WP Brute enjoys it, the KB gets everyone out of your face so you can resurgence and re-toggle and continue the beating.
    I love eating a handful of reds first too lol.
  18. -Water beats fire
    -electricity beats water
    -earth beats electricity
    -ice beats earth
    -fighting beats ice
    -psychic beats fighting

    Just like in real life!
  19. I just wish therm got a debuff in the earlier levels.

The environment is engaging and I'm sure with a decent rig it looks even better. The bad: there's just no one playing this on the EU servers (I tried both). Obviously there are always going to be more in the US; that's just the way it is. But I won't be reinstalling a NA client, it's too much hassle and the connection will suck over that distance. In terms of gameplay I'm not yet convinced the powers offer enough depth to take a character through the game. The synergy of powers, the breadth of abilities and the ability to develop them, as you can in other games, doesn't seem to be present. That would be fine if there was more to it. The black market is done well as are the enhancement mechanisms - and I know you can craft them with recipes etc. But I don't see it as enough. I'm sure if a) there were more players and b) i had a really good pc those issues would probably be lessened. Grouping always makes a game more fun, all things considered. But for now, while the game is playable for me, I just can't see myself paying for it, and buying a new PC is out the question (I can't even find someone to buy my ps3, so it's just not going to happen). Really, though the game is more of a memory hog than it should be - my specs aside, it's not a new game by any means. If my trial character is kept on the server and if I can get a better set up then I would happily play for at least a month. But for now, while I ride out the rest of the trial (play at least to level 14), I don't see it happening. These games require a social element and when the game is just plain deserted there's really little point playing.
    Good to hear Sorry bout the previous sarcasm, we see a lot of unnecessary griping around here.

  22. that sucks guys, sorry to hear that, and glad they do not have localized Canadian servers. (yes I'm aware that it's a continent thing...)
  23. Take it from a father/husband who has very little time and has to get up constantly when he has time, Brutes, Masterminds, and stalkers are perfect for soloing.
