Better late than never! I enjoy a variety of Brutes. TW/Bio is still good. I think my Rad/Stone is pretty good too. It's a fun AT and if you build it properly, almost any combo is great.

Why not just have a button that bumps your toon to level 50 with all the IOs and maxed out incarnates? Even better, right! Also, i wish the Devs would stop messing with these types of things. What was the point of giving us a sprint (I now have to return it and take the one I prefer - Ninja Run) and a jet pack right off the hop. I don't care for all the make it easy stuff. The grind is part of the allure to any game. Sure, it's not always fun but if you remove it then everything is too easy and people grow bored even quicker. Anyway, whatevs.

Isn't there a costume piece request thread elsewhere? Anyway, I digress. Does the HC Dev team have the members to make new costume pieces? In the 4 years I've been here, I really haven't seen much added by way of costume pieces. This isn't a knock on the team or anything. HC Devs are doing a great job and it isn't even their job! Volunteers that are doing some good! Thanks again, HC Devs!

I was also thinking maybe we can have the sidekick system by tweaking the Lores option. Allow us to design the Lore pet - I really don't like having to use CoX lore items on my toons.

Interesting points. However, you say a lot of the elements from these pools are already in game. So what? Many powers are just re-hashing old powers. I'd like to see these items added as they add a new wrinkle and option to making toons. I am a little surprised they haven't been added - they seem pretty easy to implement even if they may need some slight adjustments.

Bad ass! Make sure you give her a 5 star review or else!

I may try out the Striga arcs with some teams. I don't see many wanting to do it in LFG but I will keep an eye out for them. Story is a part of this game, for sure. However, game play should be #1. That RWZ was not fun. Asymptotic noted some other good points as well. It was just a poorly constructed mission and I don't plan on doing it ever again. I appreciate the HC Devs and all that they do so I hope they don't get upset with this feedback. I feel it's important to provide honest feedback and hopefully others do as well. It should help shape a better game from here on out.

Exactly. I think the AT is a nice change of pace and can be versatile. It's a fun AT for sure. But I have the 1 WS and the 1 PB. The WS has an alternate build and both are tri-form. I've been hoping for a new AT that uses the Kheld form system as a base; the transforming and changing up your primary style is fun. Lots of possibilities here!

So, I haven't gotten to any of the new arcs until today. My SG mates and I went to the RWZ to try out the new Piecemeal arc. Let's just say...no bueno... I won't repeat what most of the others said. It wasn't my cup of tea right from the start. You begin with a long run around (contact to base). Then just a blitz of dialogue that no one can really fully comprehend during the mission. Then just...I don't know. It was bad. Sorry Devs. I do like this game a lot but this arc was not good...at all. What did everyone else think now that it's gone live? Are the other new arcs better? Worse? I'd love to hear from the rest of the Supers!

I'm not surprised the Khelds have such low numbers. I might be wrong in this but when you make one WS and one PB, why would you make more? You can use alternate build options on the same toon. You don't get a wide variety with Khelds. I enjoy playing mine but I don't see the point in making more than one of each.

Is your data chunk current? I couldn't open it.

I think it'd be cool to do something extra for the 20th. The badge for sure but then maybe a costume piece when you log in that is available for 1 month, during the 20th only, and will not be available anywhere else for the foreseeable future.

I'm more curious as to how the team was taking on the bad guys. A team of controllers should be fine in that scenario if you used the proper strategery! I only team and so many teams are hot messes in regards to strategy but we get through because the toons are pretty powerful now (cheaper IOs, incarnates, better builders etc). Sometimes it's a challenge at lower levels because we don't have all of the upgrades so you need to pull, divide and conquer and so on. Most teams just blitz the enemy.

In my first/OP, I included a mostly softcap to DEF build. It is expensive. I haven't gone ahead with it as I am wondering how well a melee toon, with high DEF and meh RES, would fare. Maybe I should run around on test (which I've never done and don't really want to). Red headed step child is definitely a term...

Thanks for the replies. I think the RES on Ice Armor is a bit too low. I may try a set that has better RES and ok DEF. Do you guys play ice armor a lot?

Oh no, not upset in the slightest. This is just a preference. I'd like to see new. But I feel it's somewhat wasted making new zones. I'd use the resources to make new maps for new Trials or TFs/SFs. Make them unique so it's different. I also would love to see new factions, heroes, villains, big bads, monsters and so on. It's sad to see that we're not going in this direction but oh well. I enjoy playing in the City for a bit and then taking a break. I don't play as much as I used to and I know it's partially due to all of the new stuff having the feel and look of what has been in game for years. 🙂

No new zones. Enough already. Just stop it. Stop. We have so many empty ones...serenity now! You want a new global threat. I'd be happy with something that is just new. The HC content...I haven't enjoyed the material they've added. The main issue is it feels like the same old - similar style, run arounds, enemy groups aren't that different...the list goes on. I've been hoping the HC team went in a new, original direction but it hasn't happened. Not even close. I will continue to hope. Costume pieces would be great but I don't know if HC has the devs to pull this off. I don't think HC has added much in regards to costumes.

I just updated and it crashes before loading. Ugh.

Yes, there is nothing else to my knowledge. Hence why I suggested having one attached to the HC site that they update when needed. Like I said, making a toon can be carefree and easy or be super complex. I don't make a toon without a build - I don't need an uber toon but it let's me know what I'm getting into with powers and some different combos.

I'm not sure if you're being sincere or not. I am.

So, you can't have that sybil piece just as an option to add the loin cloth front and cloth on the back? It has to the entire set? That is super lame and disappointing. You also have to have that belt as part of it too? Not sure I'll be using it and it was the only thing I was really looking forward to. Ah well.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the CoX game itself needs to have a native toon builder much like MIDS. I don't game much but Borderlands 2 has an easy web based toon planner. This is something that the HC team should have and then update when they add new materials that impact the builder. CoX can be very complex when building a toon. Some don't care about builds, many others want to plan a build and some want precise numbers to create uber builds.

So, I don't see too many posts for this combo. I've never really gotten into this combo especially Ice Armor. Is this a good combo? It doesn't seem to lend to RES and seems like a more DEF armour set. I tried a build which is viable but not cheap....at all... I'd love to hear your opinions and maybe share some builds. Brute - Fiery Melee - Ice Armor (1).mbd

Uh...some could argue that making an all proc build, or relying on procs, is a bad idea. Procs fire a limited amount of times per minute so there's some inconsistency in damage. Procs are used at the expense of set bonuses; depending on your playstyle, this can be a big deal. I also team all the time so damage isn't usually an issue. I have a few powers in the odd build that have proc'ed powers but it's not worth it most of the time IMO.

I enjoyed Sents before the recent upgrades. I always team and they could survive through lots and dealt a bit of damage too. It was still a fun toon. These upgrades are nice and make the AT appealing to more players. To each their own. I still feel it's too bad they didn't go in a more unique direction with the Sentinel upgrade but what can ya do.
