my plant/storm is the most fun character i've created, and im running out of server slots . True enough, single target damage is its only shortcommings, which can be alleviated with pool/epic powers. for AoE, it is a sheer monster. I took rock armor on mine, I will herd 2 or 3 spawns of romans, pull them back, throw seeds/roots freezing rain, Vines!.. then carrion creepers! omg the creepers, its like a forest of hurt.

I think creepers gives you more control than people realise. even if its soft control.

Hmm. Ati still has issues with CoH. and i've always run into issues with Ati so i tend to steer cler of them, though i still have one here. I'm not sure about the 9400M, you might not be able to turn up the eye candy but it'll definetly run. Alienware, well thats the be all and end all of performance laptops.

Yeah I learned very quickly not to rely on random rolls for anything. Heck the best recipe roll i've ever gotten from AE is a blessing of the zephyr, and merits.. ergh, i've never random rolled a recipe that was worth more at WW than a regular store >.<

That said, I love running Task Forces. I have accumulated so many merits, I have bought, 3 miracle uniques (one i crafted and sold), 1 numina unique, 2 LotG 7.5% a Steadfast +3% unique and a bunch of lesser ones.

Catharctic is right, Merits allows us to bank on our successes. Task forces are even better to run now with merits.. no more trap of the hunter for defeating Lord Recluse. Not only do we earn merits that we can put in the bank to go towards that special IO, we still earn a ton of inf and get drops on the way.. (purples anyone?) .

But your not alone there. I've never rolled anything random thats been fantastic.

now.. what about this law of averages

It would never have to be THAT complex surely. Hopefully its just Energy Blast followed by a number that is the colour code. Now they would be giving you the option to change that number by selecting one on the grid in the tailor.

thanks, portability isn't the biggest factor, so thats fine.

All of these have different graphics adaptors...any work best?

I have been an ATI guy all my computing life, but I would say go with Nvidia for laptops as one of the single most annoying thing about ATI is how you cannot get drivers for mobile versions of their cards from them without modding.

... end 2cents

agreed... now i know >.>

They have changed the audio in the test server, doors sound like doors, water sounds different if your in a pond (like those around the atlas ball) or if you go jump in a lake, and footsteps are different.

Im sure there is more, I was too concerned with getting the 5th TF done to notice

Water....


....

Ok Ginger beer too. not to be confuse with Ginger Ale! Ginger Beer!! a good one is so spicy you want a glass of water afterwoods! *drools*

hehe yeah I gotta opt in for plant/storm (when do i not ), hey i like it.

However, on that list, Fire/storm would be pretty darn fun actually. I prefer immobilizes that hold mobs down while tornado smashes away at them.

yeah was the first controller i could stand to get to 50, fun all the way, and powerful. I herd mobs at the top of the towers on ITF's and then decimate them all

Romans are so scared of my little plant/stormie that I was defeated once in an ITF, 20 of them ran up and surrounded my body and wouldn't move thats FEAR!

Co* is not like any other game out there. I **TEST** machines with Co* to ensure they're worthy. If they don't run Co* for 20 minutes, they suck. That is how awful Co* is to run on a computer: It's my best standard to kill a computer with.

lol, I do to. Houtex.

I had this one amd system that would run every other game just fine, even crysis, but 20 minutes into CoH, i found out the cases cooling wasn't up to snuff and the cpu multiplier would drop in half to cool itself down.

There is a LOT of stuff going on in CoH, and its not just the graphics. Because of this I keep VERY clean and tidy pc's . This is worth it though as i never have issues with them either.

yeah checked a few characters. seems like all is well. i am going to keep an eye on things

I've usually had pretty good luck with CoH. never had those nasty bugs i've heard about, and people just not getting the game to run no matter what they do.

Well, I log in after a being offline for a mere hour and i'm suddenly on a trial account.

I sent a bug and a petition, not sure what to label them as though. Will this affect any of my characters? I know trial accounts have lvl and money restrictions?

*nervous*

No, the coolest animation bug ever is finding out that walking in dwarf form on a Kheldian doesn't interrupt emotes.

I think I can top this. Before they fixed it, the squid form couldn't hold a shotgun in it's tenticles. So, the holy shotgun temp power (given in Striga arcs) was held in it's mouth. I thought, "Welll thanks for this weapon but, um, what do you want me to do with it? No hands people!!! no hands!"

The first time I saw it I was laughing so hard, well the debt was worth it.

[/ QUOTE ]

having run the i15 TF on test a few times, i've seen khelds in squid mode carry that gun. looks weird

Yeah since i started lvling up character on Justice, omg it seems to be task force central. I am so impressed, everyone seems to want to run them.

not sure, but a little fun fact for the carrion creepers: if u have a defender on ur team, ur defender gets the end. discount for each carrion creeper, learned that in an ae arc one day

[/ QUOTE ]


omg really? lol

no wonder the defenders are happy when i herd up 3 or 4 groups of romans on an ITF tower and lay down a creeper patch once they bunch up

I call it, the creeper forest

I think my plant/storm/stone is quite controlly, but probably not up there with earth/ta. fun combo though, definetly more damage

I would not be surprised if this was changed in the near future. I wasn't even considering to enhance the res values in those shields, just the defense, since its only resistance to cold and fire anyway.

yeah just make PBU affect the Defense and leave the resistance alone.

note: according to mids, PBU also offers a +DAM component for you all Offenders out there

I am thinking the AoE's are either
a) rare enough they don't bother you too much, just radiant aura the damage away, or
b) short enough range so that you are able to stay out of the way and still attack

I have this combo and I love it. I have solo'ed some lower lvl AV's but im only lvl 29 so far.

hehe i have both the GvE dvd CoV dvd AND MA DvD and used none of them. friend gave me the cohupdater file and a trial code and I was set never knew it played music

But yeah I just burnt a copy of the one I already installed to put on another computer. no updating no fuss

congrats bro. I still haven't been able to get a fire controller to 50 >.<
though as i've said before, my plant/storm was very quick to hit the five-o

I really think it just comes down to play style. With my tankers and scrappers, getting a controller to 50 was hard for me. i dont know how many i've deleted either so I share your pain.
Well done

Try Justice. I have many characters on every server but I quickly found lots of people willing to team up and TF on justice. My new lvl 50 there is catching up to my nearly 4 year old badge hound

wow.
um..
congrats on the find DV

Heh I think an ITF is a great way to earn everything i've done more than 1 in 1 day, with the 1 character before they are fun, people like them, PLENTY of chances for a purple drop, not to mention the other recipes/salvage you get, the piles of Inf you earn, its Co-Op, even newbies to the game become familiar with it quickly.

The dev's out did themselves on that TF. Now, throw in a little more custom stuff to this new I15 TF and it'll be just as enjoyable! (and unbugg Reichsman plz!)

y'know what would be an amazing graphical update?
working mouths and fingers.

I agree. at least make us blink every once and a while

Weather, I'd love to see! that would rock, but I put that on my doubt list.

Real time lighting, oh yeah! I want to see the walls of a dark cave shine blue when I send an energy bolt across the cavern!

omg no, no traps. Dark, oh yeah. it already feels kinda controlly

Ran with a PUG last night. We had a tank 3 scrappers 2 blasters a Kin and what we thought was a Rad.

The Ill/Rad didn't have ANY of the Rad debuff powers, effectively making Reichsman impossible to kill when he pops his godmode. We weren't impressed.

[/ QUOTE ]

If he was bugged, any amount of rads wouldn't of made a difference, so don't feel bad
