lemming

I notice that when an EA is on team and they buff people, everyone starts looking around for a sec thinking they've been attacked.

I like this change. I would play around with the costs a bit to make it a bit more attainable. (Maybe bring the prices down to maybe +10% of sale cost, but that might work adjusted down as well?) I'm at the point where I have one character building generic IOs for all my other characters as they level up with the end plan to kit them out with sets once they hit 50. (Sometimes with a +End Proc on the heavy end users) I do like the aspects of the game that are more work to be made easier, but with sets and such, people can put in work and have something to show for it.

I just hit 50 with my elec/elec corruptor last night. a) Teamed with a single melee character worked really well. Supported the fire tanker and we tended to tear thru the opposition. b) When on an ITF with three others, Romulus respawning did not stun us. I think a couple Faraday cages could do the same. c) Less useful on teams that scatter, but that's probably similar for most support. d) Some AVs got drained of all their end, some not so much. The -regen seemed to help a lot. Amp plus the G-sentinel helped a lot with that. Sometimes it helped slow their attacks. Overall, I enjoyed the character and will continue to develop them. I do need to figure out a better slotting, and do a respec, but for now will play as is.

I haven't played as much with Amp, so haven't been able to figure out well it works. I was with a tank on my elec/elec corrupter and we did note that once I buffed him up, we tore thru opposition. The final Praetor Marchland mission where you fight Calvin Scott was fairly easy. Usually in the first fight, several of NPCs get taken out during the fight. This time, they barely got scratched. (Though, the buffs that get tossed if you do it before the fight starts, will chain to the villains...) I feel it's a great set to support a melee team with that stays fairly tight.

My poor laptop had to take a break. Seeing if it will do alright at light power for awhile. I may have to go see if I can build a system from some spare parts I have.

I had that happen on an old Dell running 64-bit on Windows 7. I don't tend to lock my screen while running CoX, so that only happened once.

I like something like this. Perhaps a different reward schedule where easier XP for alts, or maybe even granting the badges/accolades that take some grinding for the other characters.

I just got the Shrouded Badge doing "Locate the source of the disturbance - Free Mercenary" from trilogy which takes place on that city map

Last time I checked, it doesn't seem to be there yet. I have no idea, but it would be in the beta patch notes I assume when it happens.

Most of my chars get PL'd up to level 22 or 32 depending on what I'm doing and then get some IOs at that point. Then it's pretty much doing TFs or just screwing around doing missions or whatever event is live. Though come to think of it, I need to get the "needed" accolades on most of my characters. I think where I've gone CDO the most is with day jobs where I have a spreadsheet showing progress for all my alts. I'll probably add the important progress on the accolades and incarnate powers, but I think at that point, I may need to make a more DB based solution. 😛

Heh. My Dual Blade/WP scrapper has the Taunt proc that can cause Psionic damage. One of my favorite chars to play too.

I'd like to see Regen worked on a bit. I think going back to the way IH was before the "nerf" would be a mistake, but an overhaul of the set would be nice and that would include IH being a toggle. I'd probably make MoG a shorter life power, but make it less of an emergency power and the way to avoid the Alpha.

Not too many have changed completely, though my fire/fire blaster is now a fire/time blaster. i think I swapped some melee chars around. (tank/brute/scrapper) Some I started off as a Praetorian version of the Paragon character. A lot of my characters are based on Champions characters from the 80s & 90s, so for some I just didn't make a new one because the name was already taken. 😉

It would be nice to be able to save a copy of a supergroup base on the Beta server and reload after resets. (Honestly I would love to see it on Live, but can see a couple issues to work out first there)

Currently Incarnate Powers and stuff bought with Merits aren't free since they wanted to make sure the free stuff didn't go live when it got released. I anticipate after the next beta reset, we'll have access to that again. (Make that after we get the release on live, not next beta reset. 😉 )

Make sure you restart the client after setting up the folders. As a side note, with the merit vendors not being free currently, the way around it is to buy a bunch of Super Packs via the Auction House.

You may not have it set to see unowned recipes.

I didn't do any deep delving into the Tank & Brute changes, but didn't notice much of a change to the tanks I copied over, but enjoyed the Brute's fury building up and sticking around more without having to have Brawl on auto.

Random thoughts on the thread: I notice some sub-par playing occasionally, but normally keep opinions to myself since everyone needs to learn somehow. Definitely guilty of the crazy scrapper running out front vibe (At least until I learn my lesson). Tanking I'm still learning. I keep getting runners because of hitting agro cap. I do try to play to the team's style and do appreciate the guidelines from the lead. I did get a little testy with a tank that ran up next to my blaster and taunted a group. (I noticed when he stopped and started diving for cover, so missed out on most of the alpha) I like doing solo stuff, but for the most part, enjoy most teams. I think there's a few things that would have annoyed me more on live, but I'm not as worried over such.

And another one: --- From: System Mail Subject: P3374726338 P3374726338 Available: 1 ---- This one is claimed as Opportunity Strikes: Accuracy/Damage/Endurance/Recharge (Sentinel) Opportunity Strikes: Accuracy/Damage/Endurance (Sentinel) is similar, but I didn't get the P#

Looks to be typo related since it doesn't affect the power, just the description: When opening up Winter Packs on current Beta (Jan 16), the reward for "Build Snow Beast" shows in the Character Item Tab: --- From: System Mail Subject: P30408486 P30408486 Available: 18 --- If claimed, you still get the power to Build Snow Beast, and the claim icon shows the proper icon.

That's because the Champions bit used, was just the universe, nothing from the game mechanics since CO was originally supposed to be a Marvel game.

My answer to that is "There's no 'U' either" (And yes, I used that in a corporate meeting at the person who said it...)

My current DB/WP Scrapper is my main and she's a lot of fun. Mostly kitted out and I have a good rhythm for the combos. I am missing my Claws scrapper, so recently rolled up Claws/WP, but working on some other ATs for the time being I do have a Psi/Regen that I'm also working on and I'll have to say while sometimes it's a bit clunky, but I did note that some mobs get cut down pretty well.

Most annoying, not really any villains. It's some of the hostages that basically require you to kill everything in the map so that when you rescue them, they don't go and agro everything. (Lady Grey, Fusionette, that General guy.... for some examples)
