    I'm revisiting my Warshade after a long time. He's a tri-form build and a ton of fun to play. I'm looking to rebuild and for the life of me can't remember if set-bonuses from auto-powers carry over into the forms. I know the benefits don't, but do the set bonuses? That actually goes for everything. Do the set bonuses from powers your current form doesn't have apply?
  2. bpphantom
    Nope, not just you. Back to Dragon Age and work for a bit.
  3. bpphantom
    Yup, the one toon I did log in is stuck in that "character is still logging out" limbo, while every other toon is eventually timing out at "No mapserver connection. Try again."
  4. bpphantom
    I really like the new missions. Feels like a new arc completely. Booyah n such
  5. bpphantom
    b^^d to the devs. No complaints here. Launch was as smooth as expected (haven't played a game yet where there were NO issues), and GR is absolutely amazing.

    Thanks again all the devs and the code monkeys and the assistants that kept them working.
  6. bpphantom
    Except that new players won't have any issue...

    Thanks,
    Thanks theOcho! Appreciate the base touching.

    Ditto. It might make a /SD toon I can actually enjoy. Though I'll be going scrapper for KM/

    Thanks, I'll take a look when I get home.

    I was poking around and like I think you did, decided that S/L softcap was the most realistic to softcap against while still giving a decent attack chain with other resists and defenses.

    I know the build. I enjoy the build. I've been using it since CoV beta. Orbweaver's had sets in him build for ages, etc. Right now he's solid damage, around a 10 second recharge on foot stomp and similar for dark regen. Endurance isn't an issue currently except in looong fights. Currently has 12 points of KB protection as well.

    What I realized during a mothership raid recently is that I really had no hard build goal for him when I did it way back when. So now I'm looking.

    Of course the ideal is some form of softcap. Either to S/L due to it's commonality, or melee positional. The amazing ideal is softcap to all 3 positions, but with a res based set I don't think it's possible myself.

    Epic pool is up in the air and while there are thematic preferences (Black Scorpion or Ghost Widow), anything is open to consideration.

    Anyway, I know there are some people on here that are wicked good at finding bonuses in obscure places. Show me. Otherwise I'll butcher him myself

    I've avoided the MoTF's since my hero badger is my Emp/Rad/Psi. That's a lot of stress and pressure I don't need in a game. Best of luck though!

    Meh to the market merge. I don't use IO sets really, so I don't care.

    No surprise. Just means I can spam it at people that wanted the prompt back during combat. "How do you like your prompt now!?"

I can't minimize the window without it freezing the game and making the sound loop for like 2 minutes before it finally minimizes to the task bar. I also can't switch between windows while playing CoH with that keyboard without it taking forever. Anyone have any clue what I can do, short of using my old keyboard again? I really like this keyboard despite of the problems I'm having with it.
    Does it even work with CoX without the 3rd party add-on? Linky
