Play them both IO'd at level 50. I find a PB to be a pretty boring due to it's lack of damage. Really, a WS just makes it look silly. Sure the PB in lightform can hardly die, but who cares about that when it's AoE is that bad


Again I havent played a WS yet... apparently some team is working to make sure I have that opportunity..

That being said.. if I want to play something that has massive AoE potential... I have plenty of other tools in the toolbox...

My Rad/Fire Blaster for instance.. making Spines/Fire scrappers soooooo jealous..

They were trying to get three more slots, if I recall correctly it was sidelined for a bit because it kept messing up things in weird ways, as the CoH spaghetti codebase was wont to do.

Now that you mentioned this I remember someone talking about this..

oh well...  :'(

The Kheldian enhancements from the super pack were nice.

Personally, I found it amusing that HEATs and VEATs seemed to be backwards with how that sides ATs worked. VEATs are awesome teamers while HEATs benefit from being in a team but were more solo oriented. I was very happy when I was able to take my VEATs blueside.


Not at all, I made a PB, got it to 50, put pretty much all the slots into the forms and frankenslotted it with cheap IOs. It was the best tank at levels in the 20s imaginable, all resists 85% except psi in tank form at level 20 on a full team, awesome, was also a competent blaster with most of the shots straight down to avoid KB. I did a human only WS which also played tank (on a set team with an empath for mez prot), orbiting debt, provoke and all the tanky bits you could want, that was fun too, but depended on the boosts from the rest of the team.

The first character I'm probably going to create is an Illusion/Storm controller. Run up to level 10, create a SG, then use Superior Invisibility + Steamy Mist + Hover (no vet rewards) or Fly (with vet rewards) to go through all the accessible zones to get the SG badges so I can start getting the base portals back up and running. :gonk:
Ok...here is someone who is thinking in logical terms!   I like that!

i was under the impression that Superior Invisibility put you past the Stealth cap by itself, but it's been years since i thought about the stealth mechanics.
So far so good. Onward and upward!

I can't remember when it was changed, it was fairly early in the game, and I'm pretty sure it was because of pvp, but the power wasn't worth it once the change took affect. I know I dropped it in favor of a stealth IO + SS.
I am an ass, but don't we all love a good ass!

http://youtu.be/YHCStNxp7cg stumbled on this on youtube thought it would be fitting.

I found this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFPEVu9srWg on accident and LOL'd.  And then I wasted half a day searching for and watching more.  Some of our community are very talented!

I'm curious to see people's thoughts on the upcoming powersets too, I for one loved Radiation Blast/Emission, a Melee/Armor set seems tasty~

I never really heard much about what was upcoming in i24 before the game got shut down--mainly because at the time, I was intensely trying to finish some studies... Is there a page that laid out all the details? Or was it just stuff that was here and there?

EDIT:
Nevermind, I think I found a page that lists everything

I'll just put this here as reference, why not.

Not sure about you guys, but I think there's plenty there to ensure the market gets a nice boom, probably enough to cover giving all the old stuff back to the players maybe?

I personally like the idea of Savage Melee, a nice set for more bestial characters, rather than having to rely of Claws or SJ for that aesthetic. I believe Psionic Melee was close to being done, but not ready for I24, since Penelope Yin had it.

Yeah, I have characters that would need to be re-rolled to use some of these new sets! Looking forward to it!

My main, Shadow's Ghost who was based on The Shadow was great fun as a DP/MM blaster, but I have to try him as DP/Martial Assault or Martial Combat. I think I'll (if I have to) recreate him as he was and then alt him on another server and see which fits the concept better.

The Shadow had mental domination/hypnosis for Mental Manipulation did fit, but a straight up pulp guy? Oh yeah, gotta try that.

(I know it may not happen, but it might so Imma gonna pretend it is.)

UPDATE

The group is working on possibly signing a deal in the next few days. All of the good Karma you can muster point towards South Korea and let NCSoft be persuaded!


I don't know the exact details of what is in this deal but it is VERY close. It appears at this stage User Data may not be available - at least not at this time. More details as things unfold. It seems their data storage retrieval system is to equal that of the IRS. If this goes well the new Overlords will be up and running with further details.

omg, my heart skipped a beat *faints*
Please don't send blind requests in games to me, I learned to ignore them in CoX, no offense meant. (this is only here until I can figure out how to put it in my actual profile on here.)
