S.D. posted:I'm looking at the Ouro listing now, and Max's arc is split into 4 separate arcs - the three 'rescue' missions and the last one. You're looking for The End of Vengeance (Dark Astoria, Ch. 3), number 22.14. Yeah, but if you start that, you begin with allies. I was hoping to run it without any. It's not a big deal, as I'm pretty sure there's no badge associated with it. Just thought it'd be neat to do.

Pubbies can't handle anything more complex than BAF and LAM. I've been on *two* TPN runs that failed. Then again, the people on Homecoming have done Really Hard Way, so they're not *all* buffoons.

My experience on Everlasting has been that there are some pretty patient and cool folks managing the iTrial scene but they're a bit overconfident in just how specced out the population is and their overall level of experience.

Stats I was talking about the stat logging programs to a few people. First one is Herostats from days of old. It is currently being updated but everything may not be in there or be read correctly, but it is being worked on. And newer stuff like Sentinels may not be all there. Though it does seem to read mine pretty well. It lists damages per power, heals, will tell you when your speed boost expires on multiple people. and tell you how much inf you have made this hour. Also, when they release a new version the old one needs to be uninstalled first, this may change soon. Second is a newer program that the maker considers finished. Posted by a goon in the discord, but I forget who. SNBR, it is a damage only meter. As mentioned on their page you will need to enable logging. Go into Options > Windows > Chat > Chat Logging -> Enabled. And the logs may not be where it defaults to look for it. Mine is under my named folder in the CoH folder under logs. Just re-point it there and all should be good. FYI these programs give me different numbers for damage. I cant say which one is correct or not. Though in general, they both will tell you that X power does the most Y next and Z third together. As far as I can tell. https://sourceforge.net/projects/herostats/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Cityofheroes/comments/c2jgif/snbr_damage_meter_for_coh/

Eventually, once the poison runs it's course, you'll be left with several pages of characters and at best an inability to decide which one to play. If you find yourself staring at the selection screen for several minutes, or logging onto one only to immediately log back out because you don't really want to play that one anyway, don't bother seeking outside help. It's already terminal.

John Murdoch posted:Be a Defender to gently caress with competent people, but advertise as a Healer (because Aid Other) to gently caress with bad pubbies. Yeah seriously. A few weeks ago someone was spamming LFG with "Need Heal0r for Citadel". After ten minutes i offered my services as a fire/kin; I said I had one heal, and he said "insufficient". He then continued spamming 'need heal0r' for at least ten more minutes. Clearly this is someone who never played the original game, mostly likely he waddled in from WoW or some other game where healers are mandatory. Stuff like that makes me want to roll a fender named "ChestyHeal0rGirl", emp/something with all heal powers and all the medicine pool powers, but all are slotted only with one endredux so as to be totally useless.

Personally I think the new stuff makes the game a lot better, but YMMV. EDIT: cohservers.com gives a listing of servers and what they're running.

i got a friend who decided they wanted to be a melee sentinel. So they took the three powers from fighting and air superiority, and one of the epic pools that gives knockout blow. Really, really really feels like they are going for the 'Im Specul" award.

Plus I don't take the powers that make an emp actually useful, like Fortitude and Clear Mind and rec aura. Gotta make room for the Presence pool and three travel powers!

Any server that isn't running the pure vanilla client seems to be based off of a build that already had some custom stuff added to it, like I think a new trial that was never on live, a new city zone that was never finished, a couple powersets that were never released, and the Sentinel archetype. The largest of them, Homecoming, has also made a couple more changes from there, the biggest probably being a change to the way sniper abilities work (while out of combat you will always do the chargeup animation, in combat it will always be instant, damage scaling is increased.) They've talked about making other various changes and the possibility of actual new content, but it's a really small team and the project exists entirely on donations, so we probably shouldn't expect anything wild. I just want more placeable objects for my sewer base and I'll be happy.

There's already a ton of custom stuff, changed or added as part of I25 and onward. I don't think there's a single part of the game that wasn't touched in some way.

And here's part of what makes CoX such a beautiful unicorn: he is totally able to do that and with IO sets can be as effective as a baseline SO scrapper and can solo some +1/4 content and live his dumbass dream.

If you're a ranged person you can get a lot of melee or melee-like abilities. It's a lot more difficult if you're trying the other way about. Arcane Bolt is all there is. And sometimes you want specific animations.

Mostly I don't know why you'd want to do a "melee Sentinel," because that strikes me as missing the point. If you want melee and defense powers, why not just be a Scrapper?

I can see the line of thinking, to a degree. There might be a ranged powerset they like the theme of that doesn't have a melee equivalent, like water blast or dual pistols. Maybe they want to be a mostly punchy guy who occasionally pulls out an energy rifle to hose people down. And the game is so easily breakable that it'll probably work anyway. Now if they were to then start whining about how their weird theme build isn't viable in iTrials or whatever, that's when you can really laugh at them. Maybe it's because I've been going into this weird corner of the community too deep, but if you really want to see some bizzarre attempts to twist the limited options of the game in truly mind blowing ways, the base building corner is pretty great. No in game support for something? Just pile up as many desks and bathroom stall doors (seriously) as you can until you can trick yourself into thinking "Yeah, that looks like a beach resort" if you kind of squint a little. Every building asset in the game warped and pounded to fit the shape of whatever highly specific theme the builder demands:  "I built a pipe organ!"

Use the Pines builder to design what you want, open the auction house /ah and buy what you need. Enhancement sets can be bought in the auction house while IO sets can be bought at a crafting table or sometimes cheaper in the auction house. Dude in auction house teaches you about that, info in first post about most of it.
