Well, if my math does not fail me, thats just about 13 months subscription to CoH, assuming you're paying monthly.
Why would NC Soft/ Paragon want to give you a lifetime of use for just over 1 year of payment?
Sounds like a pretty poor business model to me.

I have a stalker that does just this. As of now I have sprint triple slotted with SO's and Swift Double slotted (also with SO's) This gives me Olympic class speed doing 100m in about 9 seconds. Not sure what that would be in MPH. I still need to add on to my Hurdle. Add this together with Hide and I can go just about anywhere with no worries.

Lets see...

Once, long ago when I was much younger and stupider I drank a six pack of Jolt Cola. Didn't sleep for three days afterward.

Fortunately I'm a bit older, a bit wiser, and a bit less addicted to caffiene now.

For me, theme trumps all other considerations. If that combo works for your character idea, then it's a good choice.


edit for horrid spelling

the big strength in radiation is on the rad emission side of things. You have two strong debuffs in Radiation Infection and Enervating Field. These two can make just about anything beatable.
On the attack side, almost everything in rad has a defense debuff component. Maybe look into enhancing those as well as damage.

Give it a bit of time. It does work.

Well, darn, I was going to say dark since I've had a good run with that secondary.
Failing that, have you looked at /storm?

edit: your edit beat my post.

Rats. I was hoping someone had come to their senses about that. Ah well, it's not good for me anyway.

Just a note for you on this. I've noticed that the Pepsi people are marketing Mt. Dew and Pepsi in a "Thowback" brand which uses REAL SUGAR. Not sure how long it will last .

Mainly water with occasional instances of tea when the weather gets cold enough.

ya i was reading on the wiki sight about like like 10 min before u posted...but ty for the info and these veteran rewards...it says u have to to b active on a acct for 60 months, "time played, not paid(makes sense lol)" to teleport?

Actually the regular teleport power can be accessed by any character at lv 14. See paragon wiki for the details on how the momvement powers work.

There are some special teleport powers available to long time players. I think that is what you saw on wiki.

Also, welcome aboard.

I've found that a controller is a good counterpart for blasters. The exact powerset combo isn't that important.
The Controller will help moderate the speed of the fights which helps keep the rather fragile blaster from getting swarmed and dead. The Blaster side of the pair gives the added damage the Controller can always use.

You might find something that works better for you, but I've had pretty good luck with this.

Hm, I must have gotten that one without noticing. Ok, I stand corrected. Now I know.

It leads to one of the more surreal mission arcs in the game.
Missions start at 45 (?)

Yeah, that's kinda what I had in mind.

Maybe also use that same color on the mask. Right now it's just a big black block. Classic for sure but maybe needs... something.

Looks like you already have a lot of good info.

So I'm just posting to say - Welcome to the City!

Just remember the most important thing to do when playing this game: have fun.

Next dumb queston...Can I have more that one hero/villain on the same account..or do you have to pay for each character you create? Or can you have like two or three villains before you have to pay another subscription fee???

Each server gives you several character slots FOR FREE. You can have both heroes and villains on the same server. You do have the ability to buy more character slots later on but you shouldn't need to for a bit.

You can also have characters on multiple servers at the same time for no additional cost. For example: I have characters on Triumph, Guardian, Protector, Infinity and Virtue Servers. Heroes and villains mixed. YOu have a lot of options.

Feel free to ask questions here. We're a pretty casual bunch. Also, if you haven't already, you'll find several player made guides elsewhere in the forums.

Just don't burn yourself out before you even get the software.

Oh, and since nobody has said this yet...

Welcome aboard.

A friend of mind described Controllers to me this way when I first started playing...

"A controller can make a bad team good. A good controller can make a bad team great."

Maybe people are coming to that realization? Or, maybe, its just FOTM. Either way, people are playing. It's a good thing.

Godspeed Backhand. We'll keep the server warm for you.

I've found it to be very useful solo. You get the second strike from hide and it's a useful in keeping a second opponent out of the fight until you're ready for them.

I just hit 33 months so top of my list is now blackwand/nemesis staff.

also, in no particular order...

Wings
Ghost Slaying Axe/ Sands of Mu
Trenchcoats (even if I'm still not quite happy with how they look)
Respecs
Free Costume changes

and, just to be fair, my least favorite ones...

Base trophies
Prestige Sprints
Base Poster items.

Sadly I haven't found any way around the problem of the pillboxes that does not require teaming. As you said they just regen too fast for one player to keep up. Closest I ever got was a MM with pets set on agressive but even then, i just couldn't keep the turrets down.

Sadly this is the only reason I have for going into Bloody Bay.

Anyone have any suggestions here?

Edit: I guess they did. I'll have to try those.

Honestly If I were a Dev playing this game I'd welcome the anonymity. There are far too many people who want to give them grief in their official capacities. They don't need the hassle in their "free" time.
