    Oh what could’ve been. If COH had reached the heights of popularity that WOW did, who knows what might’ve happened.  I used to really want to see some more COH related media, I enjoyed the comic books growing up.


    I dunno.  Some of Jack's early ideas for directing game play (You SHOULD BE STREET SWEEPING to get ANYWHERE!) are not the sort of things that should be encouraged with giant piles of money.

    I love the game.

    But most of what I love are the products of Paragon Studios building on the original platform.

    Thank you sooo much Lauci! I did not know that. I thought the form was a ball of energy or something lol.

     

    OK, so unlike other toggles when in human form, I can toggle light form in human form and then it will stay active as Nova or Dwarf? That's badass!

     

    I'm lvl 25 now so halfway there. It's too fun so I don't lock xp. I just enjoy the game and when I get to 50, i can go back on Oro to do any missions I missed. Mainly hero story arcs. Loving Kheldian PB!!!!

     

    If anyone wants to hang, lmk. @XalonMG on the main server.

     

    Or my Arachnos Soldier @Xalon on main server villain side.

     

    Khledian PB Supergroup - now that would be cool!



    LightForm isn't a "toggle'.

    It's a GodMode Resistance armor.

    But the game is such that with sufficient recharge you can essentially "perma" it.

    That means that particular claim cannot be brought back before the court.  It does not forestall future claims of infringement.  It does not in any way protect CoH/Homecoming from Marvel filing suit for infringement.


    No it does not.

    What is DOES do is raise the standards for EVIDENCE.

    Simply having an Electric blastere named "Mu Howard" doesn't automatically mean he's an Expy of Curly (Jerome) Howard.

    Am I the only French?

    Somehow this probably sounded way more kinky then you intended, lol

    Don't hesitate to send me a tell if you want to perfect that French 😉

     

    Nah.  Snagged it from an Anthony Edwards/Linda Fiorentino fim from the 80's.

    Where the MORE offensive was a quote from Lady Marmalade.

    And everything I learned about International Diplomacy was summed up in this scene....
     

     

    Name database - Will this get cleaned up?

    I don't know the amount of data all those unused alts take up, I can't imaging it's that high. If I need to search the database for a character it's pretty easy and depending on how loose my search criteria is depends on how many results it throws out.

    It's not the number of names and alts that are a problem.



    This was the point I was trying to make.  😚

    Even if it's not specifically for name camping, those characters are taking up database space when you could instead have just used the "Save Costume" button. And I don't think anyone has a problem with a handful of characters. Three or four hundred is a problem.


    And how much space in the DB is that?

    And how big is the DB?

    And what is the ratio of individual character space vs total db size?


    Yes, I understand the anger over deliberate name camping.  It's annoying.
    But you need to be able to prove that's what's going on IN YOUR SITUATION.  Not simply claim "It's happening"

    Your statement here implies that GM Crumpet is a complete idiot. Worse, it makes it apparent that you think we're all idiots, because that's the only way that anyone could agree with this disingenuous post.

     

    Now I've had some serious disagreements with the moderators in the past, and I have the warning points to prove it, but I don't believe for a minute that any of the Homecoming GM/Devs/Staff are stupid.

     

    I find it far more likely that if GM Crumpet had seen a bunch of accounts with names like Test0001 -> Test 0857 it's highly likely that he they (sorry, didn't mean to assume your gender) wouldn't have said anything because they understand that no one is upset that they can't name their new main Test 0157. People want "cool" names like "Captain Skyway" and "Knight of the Hollows", so it's far more likely that the hundreds of camped names, that they're referring to, are names that fall under the subset of "cool", not utilitarian stuff  like Test 0485.

     

    And you know this Excraft. Your entire post is utter disingenuous nonsense. No one is gonna get banned for having 800 variations of Test 0123, no one is getting banned for having a ton of characters named "Bzzrzrzrzrrrk" and "Urmomomoommmmmz" and you know it. In your zeal to win the argument you've gone completely overboard and you're trying to make a point that no one with a 3 digit IQ is going to believe for a second.

    If you're talking about nova only then yeah, if you are human/nova bi form you are a tanky scrapper/blaster, you won't compare in damage but we outdo them in tankiness.



    If someone's talking "Nova Form Only", that's EXACTLY what I'm talking about.

    It may not be as effective as a tri form but it's still viable for most end game content, hell Human form alone is still viable in most end game content. But I think the original poster wanted to play as Nova only, no human form involved which is more akin to playing a petless MM without the added support power pool that MM's get.



    Sorry, you're essentially playing an underpowered blaster and hoping your teammates will soak the aggro up before they come for you.

    I suspect on Live they didn't want to allow character transfers between accounts because it would facilitate real-money sales of level 50 characters.  There was an annoying enough problem with just real-money inf salesman spamming everyone all the time in game.   


    This is EXACTLY why they did it.

    Human Nova would work fine for end game content. Just take Boxing, Kick, and Cross Punch and slot those like you would the Dwarf melee so you still have those sets. Most builds already have a pretty well optimized Nova form so you probably wouldn't use that many of those additional slots in that. You could spread those additional slots to Weave or shields. If you plan to play the game content solo to level instead of power leveling or farming, you'll pretty much need to do Tri-Form to 50 first. Nova gets really soft by the late teen levels and you don't get any significant resistance without Dwarf until light form at 38. 

     



    It might FUNCTION.

    But anyone running that is a load.  Akin to dragging a Level 1 blaster through a Mothership Raid...

    Any good builds for Shield/Elec?

    No problem at all. I suspected it was something like that but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.  I appreciate your response anyway.


    No biggie.  Legitimate question.  And I wouldn't honestly remember if you hadn't asked.

    Search 'Invulnerability' for Shield Defense? Not trying to be rude, but that doesn't make sense. Am I missing something?


    The basics for the Resistance powers aren't exactly hard.  They're a semi useful formula regardless.

    Also, I had shuffled through multiple posts that day and thought I was responding in an Invuln thread.

    Hey!  I'm a Tank!  The only think I'm supposed to use my head for is catching blows!  AND I'M DAMN GOOD AT IT!
