Inzombiac posted:Is there a way to double-box in Homecoming? Just to clarify because I think atomicgeek skipped over the basic part; "double-boxing" in Homecoming is accomplished like this: -Create a second account on the forums at https://forums.homecomingservers.com/ -In the launcher, select "Homecoming (64-Bit)", then click the Play button twice. You can just buy the "Shadowy Presence" power from P2W on your second account, join the other account's team and hop into the mission and kick off that power, and you're golden. Just make sure you fight a bit away from your hidden character so it doesn't get murdered by aoes.

I re-rolled my Ambrose Chase character from live (dp/time blaster) as a time/dp defender and I'm personally really like the time powerset so far. I'm not usually a Defender type guy, but its fun.

Comfortador posted:Ambrose Chase oh! for gently caress's sake, THAT's who your avatar is, lol dual pistols has sssome DPS issues due to its lengthy animations, but my second-highest character is a DP/martial blaster because it works well enough anyway. even better on a support character! time is supposed to be one of the better defender sets, due to having a diverse collection of solutions to various problems Platonicsolid posted:Did transfers get fixed, or are people just rerolling? afaik server transfers have worked for quite a while, you're limited to 5/day is all

Yeah transferring my characters to Excelsior worked just fine once I finally settled on new names for a couple of them.

hobocrunch posted:But I'm looking to reroll something supporty whether it's a tank / cc / another defender, what's the need right now? (Assuming always healers). Though I'm Aussie anyhow not sure how much I'll get to play with yall. Don't heal. Heals are for suckers. The real support in COH is speed. Anything that makes people recharge faster, hit harder or just plain run faster. If you don't wanna do that, the next most effective thing is making your team get hit less. There's a couple good defender sets for this... plus there are 2.5 entire archetypes. Controllers and Dominators, and kinda Masterminds using their pets as cannon fodder. Late game, if people are taking significant damage they can't heal themselves, they're probably taking it fast enough that your heal won't finish casting before they're dead. There's no tank/dps/healer trinity in this game. Some of the most effective groups are 8x blasters just absolutely MELTING anything that dares look their way. Or 8x defenders all buffed to the gills, spamming their most powerful attacks with reduced cooldown, reduced end, maxed out defenses and resistances. Or 8x stalkers just running to the end of a map and one shotting the boss and his entire squad with crit AOEs.

forgot to respond to that, but Relentless has the right of it: there's no "need" in this game in the sense that you mean, and healing is the weakest form of support. spicy team comps own, although every so often you will get merced by a particularly challenging TF boss or whatever. 8x blaster is great until you have to fight your clones in Posi 2 lol

In addition, there are a number of good support powers that not only wake up a KO'd teammate but give them (or the team) a huge boost. There is pretty much no real downside to getting KO'd in this game.

atomicgeek posted:Yeah, it's not terribly hard. The method I use is HotkeyNet and some rudimentary commands to make my secondary character fire off attacks when the main does, but I guess there's no reason you couldn't just group up your two accounts and park the low-level one at the door. Sorry, I meant from the same account.

For solo play, is there any reason to roll a Tank instead of a Brute?

Ineptitude posted:Ive seen this statement several times in a COH context (not necessarily with dual pistols), what exactly does it mean? In CoX, a proc refers to specific Invention Origin Enhancements(the things that you slot in your attacks) that have a chance to do a specific proc effect, usually on activation. There are a few procs that can be slotted into auto or toggle powers that would have a chance to proc upwards to 3 times a minute.

There are a few procs that can be slotted into auto or toggle powers that would have a chance to proc upwards to 3 times a minute. They look like this. One of the last things the game did was standardize them to X times per minute, so they'll always happen on anything that fires slower and have a proportional chance to happen on anything that fires faster, based on its enhanced recharge. (This proc is kind of hilarious in Chain Induction since it can check on every jump.)

I.... apparently deleted half of the characters I made. Which I would have no reason to do. I can live without the inventories, but the names.... I was still within my goddamn year and those characters were all at least level 25, what the hell.

Did anyone ever come up with a guide to tweaking graphics in this post-Homecoming era? Because I think it's ridiculous that a game from 2012 is maxing out a 1060.

How's your current driver's OpenGL support? There have been reports of some driver distributions for modern cards leaving that one out, though the manufacturer usually provides somewhere.

I want to get into those because something about being a melee dom just scrapperlocking away with hot feet or arctic air looks so fun. Earth's melee focus is unique and 2 close range AoEs looks good on paper.

Does anyone have or have a link to a Tanker Fire/Rad build? Briggs and a bunch of the ones I find online are all Brutes and use Brute specific enhancements. So I can't easily steal from them. (A Farming tanker) Oh, on a sidenote Incarnates are completely new to me. I took Musculature for my alpha slot, but I'm not really sure where to go from there. Any advice/recommendations?

Mace has substantially different moves and is stronger, IIRC

Broad sword is slower, heavier feeling, higher damage per activation katana. Mace is maybe objectively better than Axe, which is maybe the worst melee set at this point.

Cosmetically, Mace's moves look a lot like the other two, with some differences in mechanics (defense bonus for BS/Parry, etc., KD for some of WM's moves, etc.), so the usual "play whatever gives you the most aesthetic pleasure" caveats apply, but War Mace really does completely outshine the other two in terms of damage. I slotted both scrapper ATO sets in my WM/Bio as soon as I could and it was just astonishing. Still have so many good feelings for my old BS/Shield from the live servers just because of how the powers felt and the costume options (particularly had fun with that one), but there's no comparison.

I made a BS/Shield scrapper to make some kind of armored Jedi look but it's not really clicking with me. I'm starting to realize I only really enjoy playing Masterminds and Corruptors.
