The thing about the Centre of Gravity device is that it's like Havoc Stomp, but instead of knock back, it's knock to. A couple friends have it on their tank build characters.

Is Antiproton still around? Because he was loving terrible and I hate him and he never did anything worthwhile except be a useless piece of poo poo bent on making every item in the game worthless/awful.

AFAIK he's gone. Although a couple of folks say they moved him over to work on NWN. If that's true, gently caress that game.

I still remember when the VB costume drops first came out, and people were working out that some parts had drop rates of a hundredth of a percent and AP was like 'Yo, lemme check those numbers... yup, they match up. Working as intended. HTH, HAND!'

Him and Balseraph were terrible. Both seemed to actually hate dealing with player feedback, and probably even contempt for us players. Of course, Balseraph was a poster on :siren:Silverspar's:siren: blog, SO...

Telios Tower isn't that bad these days. I suppose it depends on what the make up of your team is. Also, careful pulling helps a ton.

gently caress Destroyer's Factory, though. To this day, even with stacked teams, that map finds some way to gently caress you over. It's pretty much just spawn, fight, die. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I've been looking this up, but is there really no way to send resources to your alts? The suggested way is to buy something expensive, send the item to your alt, then resell it, but is there a less convoluted way of doing this?

Best way is to mail your alt some trash gear you can't break down so they call sell it.

That's pretty much how I'm approaching any kind of Dodge build. I skip LR as I hate BCR, due to having to activate the power every other second. That and how many powers it takes just to keep it up.

I mean, back in CoH, defense sucked on it's own, but if you took another defensive set and layered defense on top, it was 1000x more awesome. Seems the same appiles in CO- Hence why I do stuff like add dodge to regen or another passive. The upkeep is much more minimal for an even better result than straight LR.

So can you mix and match different flavors of the same base type? If I have Mom's Basement, can I pick up the High-Tech Basement and then use the hologram thing or wall-mounted weapon case in the otherwise crummy looking basement hangout? Or is everything locked to it's own 'set'?

There are several no-brainer choices though, like Strength for the melee sets (at least I think so: the tooltip displays +20% melee damage regardless of my strength value)

Yeah. Strength buffs all melee damage as well. Caps at 70 STR. Same with Ego for Ego weapons.

This is addition to SS bonuses. So if you SS STR, you will cap the inherent melee bonus fairly quickly.

You can stick with Int/Pre. As for END, just use talents (+5/+5 are always better than +8) and gear. END and INT can be slotted in Defense and Utility secondaries, while PRE in Offense and Utility.

EDIT: Also, dual SS in the same slot are feasible, but only at level 40 with access to Nemesis/UNITY purples and/or AP superblues.

Infernal isn't new. It's the ranged Supernatural set. It already received a review so it probably won't be anything major.

And yes, staves would be cool.

I'd imagine it'll be a few more filler attacks, like a T1 blast (like the one the Treys have).

I came across something at the tailor tonight.

quote:

Name: Seycha Riikonen
Age: 11
Species: Human (Gothmoran)
Occupation: Cuurently under Academic and Social tutelage

Stranded from her home dimension Gothmora, she is currently under the tutelage of Ultimatum's Lady Victory, who supervises extra-dimensional cases. Despite her very young age, she can handle herself very well in combat, besting even fully grown males twice her age. She has an obvious advantage over earth-born humans though; the gravity of her home planet is much higher than earth's, so she has a very dense muscular frame and can lift things much bigger and heavier than she is as well as jump very high.

Combat is an everyday reality in her harsh homeland, so children are trained in the martial arts as soon as they can walk on their own. Where she's from, she is even considered to be a full-fledged warrior at her young age, since Gothmorans have a life expectancy of about 35 years due to the harsh living conditions of their homeworld and are ready for courtship at the age of 10. :pedo:

Even though she looks like a child, she does not consider herself nor act like one. She has a strong spirit and a very commanding attitude, which clearly makes most people uneasy when they are not forewarned. She will not take being patronized by anyone and regards any adult as an equal or even inferior if said adult does not posess adequate martial training.

Fine, fine, I'll go hit up Club Caprice and write some more "research papers" sooner or later.

If I don't drown in a pool of my own vomit first, that is. (or more likely just not find enough interestingly awful people to interrogate)

Caprice has really gone downhill. Other places to check are Sherrerra's in MC and The Minefield in Vibora (Bonus points for catching someone in the doors while RP walking.)

Of course, with hideouts, the most :spergin: of the roleplayers have hidden out of sight, though I did see two furries lesbianing it up just outside the tailor last night as well :gonk:

I think the wiki folks worked it out that on average, you'd have to spend like more than a Lifetime sub to get the parts:

quote:

Lohr tested the drop rates on the PTS, and had to buy 90 bags before she got a full set. At 250 bags she still hadn't gotten the AT.

90 bags @ 80 CP = 7200 CP = $90.
250 bags @ 80 CP = 20,000 CP = $250

They were, but Cryptic yanked them from the PTS P-D-Q!

They probably came to the conclusion that folks were going to realize that this grab bag thing is bullshit (which it is).
I can only imagine that someone from marketing was all 'This is an awesome idea guys!' Proving that once again, marketers
are the bane of all that is good and just in this world :v:

Aphrodite posted:


Also, CO has had these bags since F2P launch. They just used to only offer gear and a consumable, costumes are recent. Having an exclusive costume set is annoying, but it's grimdark garbage anyway so nobody important is hurt.

If they put the bird armor set in one though, there will be a fight. I have vacation days and I know where they're located.

I didn't recall those bag. But then they didn't offer anything one couldn't already get via other means, so I suppose out of sight, out of mind. I do fear we will see more costume gachapon in the future, which is pretty disappointing.

Also I would think the real math on the bags is how long it took Lohr to get 8 costume pieces, period. Doubles can be traded for the missing pieces.

I know about that. But what I've noticed, in zonechat and on the AH, is that there are a LOT of the boots and chain bracers for 50-75g. Then there's a few spiked bracers for around 300. No eye accessories yet. Oh yeah, and the AT unlock for 1000g :lol:

It just feels wrong for me, even though I did buy a few with the leftover CP when I picked up the blazing speed that's on sale. I did manage to get a spiked bracer out of one, so 300g :toot:

I didn't know Peter Chimaera played CO!

quote:

Name: Drakov Marakovski [Revenge]

Age: 116 [29]

Current status: Single

Note: do not anger, walk up friendly

Bio: During the Angel/Demon war, Revenge was just being born in a factory. But then the angels struck and started destroying the factory, killing every demon in sight. But then one angel had a show of compassion and stole the demon away before he could get destroyed. She soon went to earth and put baby revenge at the doorstep of a Russian family that couldn't get kids. He was soon named Drakov Marakovski and was soon raised by them even though he was different. At the age of 18, he soon traveled to afgahnistan to fight in the war for 14 years. He survived a tank bullet and was known as "The Juggernaut" but after he lost his friend Dave Smith in a escort mission that went wrong, he quit. Soon UNTIL learned of his origins and imprisoned Revenge for experiments. that's when Revenge discovered his rage when he escaped. But learned a terrible truth about the escort mission. That it was the UNTIL that was shooting at him and killed Dave. Raged, he destroyed all information about him in the database and killed hundreds of UNTIL officers. ever since then he has been on the run, hiding in plain sight fron UNTIL. he traveled everywhere, training, waiting. Eventually he started to become a pro boxer and never lost one fight. After that he came to Millennium City and works as a bartender at Club Caprice. But as long has he lives, he will never forgive UNTIL, and he will have his Revenge.
