Can't remember how many months vet I have.

<ul type="square">[*]I have only ever done 2 task forces and won't be doing anymore. [*]I haven't done the new hami, but then after getting shafted on the old one twice I won't be doing it. [*]I haven't hit 50 with a villain. The PPPs were a disappointment and put me off leveling. As did laggville. [/list]
One thing that I realised the other day. I think I have played every single powerset combination in the game. Although most didn't get past level 6.

I think there are some silly regulations from the gaming commission that require competitions that are basically free draws to have come kind of qualifying question, so they ask stupidly easy ones to get around it.

It's not REALLY a competition folks, it's a free draw (not that that's a bad thing!).

[/ QUOTE ]

The question is to get around the lottery commission rulings. Any draw without a question is considered a lottery style drawing and comes under some pretty hefty rules and regulations. Not to mention that you need to be registered and licensed to run a lottery. Add the question and it falls away from most of the rules.

You make a superstrength Brute and start hurling rocks at people. You'll find that this is truly how the game is meant to be played, as evidenced by how hilariously fun it is. Hypertech, scientific process, magical enchantment or impossible skill, it's all beaten by a massive rock in the face.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have to admit that, that is very funny. Nothing is more ignominious than some snooty hero bragging about their conquests and getting a rock in the head.

I have had a raising number of these sort of tells in the last couple of weeks. These however I like. As I now have the opportunity to beat seven bells out of them.

Note to people asking: Granite tankers take a lot to hurt when they are built right.

Very nicely done!

.... but you posted in the wrong section!. This should be in Creative - I only mention it because it deserves to be able to be nominated if possible for creative genius.

[/ QUOTE ]

Unfortunately, though nominatable, it won't be able to win, as I found out with the Rocky Horror Hero Show, as it's based on someone else's existing work. Great job though.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's a bit unfair. There's still creative ability used. I bet if you looked hard enough you could find things that have inspired many of the greatest things.

imageshack.us would be my suggestion.

Well I thought I would have a go at this. here is the result.

I suggest trying it on the test server first. I think they still give new SGs there a huge prestige boost

Nice pics. Just one thing. Did you know there is a character called halo?

[/ QUOTE ]

*yawn* one character is female and mine is male, what's your point?

If you're suggesting that I'm breaking copyright, check back to the forums in oooh round about feb 05 when I posted my origin

or even better take a gander at the whole origin:

http://coh.guysrealm.be/rangers/or_halo_part1.htm

think you'll find that I only share my name with the female character.

Bridger (as well as Rockjaw) has known about my character name for at least over a year through meeting me at the first Brighton meet and several conversations via PM and email. If there had been any problems with my name then I'm sure that he would have mentioned something in passing to me.

Anyway, nice pics aren't they?

[/ QUOTE ]

Persil is a washing powder but it didn't stop them genericing him. Although if bridger and rockjaw know about you I can't see you getting genericed.

Just to throw my 2 infs worth in.

I leveled an empath/elec defender to 50. At first I built him as a "pure" defender. I had 2 attacks up to about level 35. Then the teams dried up. It was impossible to play him solo as he only had 2 very weak attacks. So I respeced into a more offender type build. I found that this is much more use in a team too. I use telsa cage, short curcuit and Power sink regularly. Nothing helps the team more than stopping almost every enemy attacking.

Defenders have secondaries for a reason. If they choose to only use the primaries then they will fullfil there role on a team but they will not be at maximum performance.

I would have to say that earth/ff is a nightmare to level. In a team you are gold. Enemies flying everywhere, staggering around or just held fast. Solo the damage output is absolute rubbish.

I can say with experience that burn and hot feet on a fire blaster looks really cool and will get you killed time and time again. The rooting from burn makes you into a target just waiting to go splat and hot feet doesn't kick in fast enough to get enemies to back off. I tried using hot feet and blazing aura as damage increase tools and just got creamed for it. Acrobatics was much more useful.

Ah you have got to love the variations in meaning. To someone that uses the, for want of a better word, word 1337 it means elite. To people that think numerical representation of letters is something used by people of lesser intellect, it means "I am an idiot please watch me get killed"

The first base I ever built during beta had the amazing see-thru generators and the glass steps of doom. They are still available to place in your base now. The steps are particularly amusing as if you place them correctly you can make people fall through the floor of the base.

[/ QUOTE ]

Did you /bug them?

[/ QUOTE ]

Of Course. I always do bug reports. unless it is an oldie that I have bugged many times before.

I really should check this boards more often.

[ QUOTE ]
The invisible items bug is an annoying one. Be sure to /bug it and hope that the devs might actually fix it some day.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

oh wait. you were serious.

AR/Dev blasters don't get to choose either of those. They get a targetting drone which affects damage not at all and er...that's it.

[/ QUOTE ]
TD let's you slot 3 Dam, 3 Rech in your attacks (or 3 Dam/2 Rech/1 Acc for PvP) and still hit as well as those who slot 3 Dam/2 Rech/1 Acc. You could also go with fewer slots in your attacks or endurance reduction.

TD does help improve damage, but not directly.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have a AR/Dev and a fire/fire. There's no comparison. Fire/Fire damage output mkaes AR look amazingly weak. While you are plugging away at one target the teams defender has flattened 3 enemies and comes to help you out.

AR/Dev is the joke combination now.

SteelRat with your abilities of a baboon you are still far ahead of me. I tried to start out with a simple drawing book and screwed up the stickmen I was drawing. I am going to stick to writing webpages.

You do know that mmore prestige means more rent? The increase in prestige that you recieved means that you will be getting hit for bigger rent bills.

If you run missions in the PvP zones drop salvage as part of the mission complete. You can also increase your drop rate by taking out more bosses and lieu's. You can farm but not in the same way that people used to farm dreck.

I would say that the highest AoE damage blaster is by far fire/fire. Aim+build up, fireball, fire sword circle, combustion. pretty much everything in a +1/+2 spawn lay on the floor. There's no way AR can compare to the sheer destruction that a fire/fire blaster can lay down.

[/ QUOTE ]Build up, FSC, combustion, flamethrower, buckshot, full auto, M30.

[/ QUOTE ]

The thing is fire doesn't need to use any additional attacks as everything is lay on the floor. but fire does compare in AoE Attacks build up, aim, fireball, fsc, combustion, firebreath, nuke. My experience with AR means you go build up, fsc, combustion, flamethrower, awaken

One thing I should mention is I don't mean fire/fire has more AoE attacks. Just more unresisted and therefore more powerful attacks.

[ QUOTE ]
i dont have much else to say other than AR/dev is for fun and concept only, it is not and never will be uber, not matter how you play it, again, imxp i have duoed with DreamWeaver's AR/dev/mun with my elec/elec/elec, the spawns we faced were about 5-6 sapers per spawn, in the time she killed about 1.5 minions i totalled the rest of the mob, i don't have a nuke, and when I did, it was silly

[/ QUOTE ]

That pretty much says it. While one blaster had taken down a single target and weakened another. The other blaster had leveled the spawn. I have an AR/Dev/Mun and I think it is a very good concept build but appauling damage output when compared to others in the same AT.

[ QUOTE ]
Not to forget Consume for draining endurance further.

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought consume just hurt them and gave you endurance back

I can confirm that Thunderous Blast doesn't drain all your end if you miss as well.
