Thanks to the HC team for providing this update! Long overdue and nice to see. Another note on the Khelds - I am a fan but why are people shocked that so few are made? There are two types of Khelds and you can only vary them so much. When you get 3 builds per toon, you don't have to keep making one. VEATS have more options so maybe a similar situation here? I'll admit, I am not a huge fan and don't play them a lot so... Also, will we finally get actual, new costume pieces?! I don't think that has really happened with HC. Maybe an unpopular comment here: can we please have a change in the way you design your SFs, story arc missions and so on?! I will say I really dislike most of the stuff HC has added in this area. Maybe I'm the only one. Please look at how the Live devs evolved their designs - the iTrials are mostly fun, DFB and DiB are fun, Yin TF is good, Sutter is ok - could be better but solid premise and so on. I hope HC looks at that and really considers it when designing arcs, TFs etc. Thanks again to the HC team. You guys do an amazing job and I do appreciate your efforts!

I have a question. How big is the Victory dev team and will they now work with the HC dev crew? It would be great if they could join forces and make some decent content. Maybe some actual costume pieces too.

Many of the older TFs are terrible. Synapse and Citadel are a couple of the worst.

I hate KB 99.9% of the time. The only time I like it is I'm solo, in trouble and want to KB a foe. I team all the time and there is nothing more annoying than herding the enemy group and then seeing them blown all over the place. It's annoying AF (as the kids say). Anyway, I'd like to see this option instead of having to slot the proc to deal with this insanity. Also, I'd love it if any new powers did not have KB. It really is annoying!

So many great costumes. I have been checking them out! I may have missed it but has anyone posted an idea for a poltergeist type costume? I'm also looking for a firefly type theme. I'd love to see some ideas! 🙂

The one problem with these threads is that you'll always miss several people. This is my shout out to them (as well as to the many named here). There are so many that form teams, put up with the complainers and put their time and effort into scheduled events. This is what keeps the game going. That and a lot of great people I enjoy teaming with every now and then.

OP, my honest suggestion: stop playing CoX. Take a break. Play some other games - there are lots that are very cheap or free on Steam. HC hasn't put out too much intriguing stuff and it's a lot of the same old so that doesn't help either. Take a break. I'm sure you'll be hungry for this game in a few weeks or so.

I actually pitched this to the Dev team. I had an outline on this and story and sent it in. I was hoping it would be a DFB/DIB style short TF thing. 🙂

I am betting OP's 'creative' hobby is beating up young children and taking their candy. 🙂

Thank you very much for your valued insight.

Good insight. I usually make toons that can play in any situation and I team. So, damage isn't a huge issue and I am good at softcapping D and Res when practical. The game isn't getting a ton of new things to do so I am looking at other ways to enjoy the game. I decided to try one of these big game hunters. A while ago, I tried the proc monster route. Interesting concept and fun too but it too has its warts.

Le sigh...it's also an opportunity to discuss all things relevant. Not just AT and powers. Tricks, tips, temps etc. If a mod wants to move this then no problem. All good. I try not to worry about this stuff. Anyway, enjoy. You're welcome 🙂

I appreciate the banter! I am looking at running out a toon. I've been inspired!

Right. Nice of you to come in and direct traffic. Awesome. Anyway, I started this discussion to discuss ANY AT and power combo. Maybe some others will chime in and suggest other ATs etc. I just never really went out to design this type of toon but may try it out.

Ok so I kinda like the looks of the Ill/Dark. I took a look and made some adjustments to it. How do you all think this guy would work out for regular and big game hunting? Controller ill Dark troller ice.mbd

Any chance I could get your builds? I am good at making sturdy toons but then struggle in regards to something like this. I'm hoping for a AV/GM killer without incarnates. Damage, recharge and slotting help needed. I understand those to combos are good but is one better than the other?

Yeah, I was messing around with some builds and it does look challenging in a way...but I may still give it a go! Do you have a build by chance?

So, I am wondering which AT and power combo would make for the best AV/GM killer/arrester. Altitis has hit me hard and I am now wanting to make some different toons etc. Please include a build 🙂 Happy hunting and discussing!

Controller - Symphony Control - Sonic Resonance (1).mxd Hey all, I wanted to make an inexpensive Controller for general play but it would be nice to also make an AV etc killer. Is that possible on this combo?

Fascinating. Do you have a build by chance?

I haven't read this thread. Leave him dead. It was a last ditch effort to generate interest in the game and I don't think it worked. Nor was it worth it. Sad but this is what happens when you're literally under the gun. I believe there was an AMA Matt Miller thing where he was absolutely wanting to bring him back. Well, not the same guy but ....I won't ruin it if anyone wants to go look it up. Anyway, I think it's really dumb to do anything linear in an MMO or game to that extent. Leave him be and forget about it. Make new heroes and missions and so on...

So, I continue to try powers that I never really tried before (here or Live). Can anyone chime in and discuss the merits of having an ice shield tank? I guess it's mostly a DEF set with some RES. What are the pros and cons to this set? Anything I should skip and, conversely, what's essential? Any and all input is much appreciated. Lastly, I'd really love some builds! Maybe an Ice/SS tank? Both are sets I haven't take too far.

Wow. Sorry to hear about all of this. It's heartbreaking but glad you're surviving. Keep up the good fight and I hope to see you in game ASAP. All the best and my condolences for your loss. Time...still undefeated...we're all getting older and experiencing the sad aspects of life that accompany aging.

Does anyone have an awesomesauce build for this super defender?!

So, I am on a bit of a DEF kick! Thanks to all who discussed Thermal on my other post. I am also wanting to make a Dark/Dark DEF. I know it's a popular build (or was). Can people chime in if it's still a good one? Is it as tough as it used to be? And what would your epic/ancil power be? Posting builds would also be awesome! 🙂
