I think the CoX Dev team made some big blunders that helped sound the death knell for this once epic game. Going Rogue was poorly assembled - to have another, separated started zone?! BAD idea. The saturation of Praetorian content was a big deal back when. The Incarnate system could've been handled better but, to be fair, the writing was on the wall and they just couldn't add enough content for the incarnate system. Lots of mistakes were made but we're back! I am hoping the HC Devs get some more help and try to become a bit more innovative with the content they add.

Again...I don't have the words so I will leave this instead...

Well, I would like to suggest maybe you're doing something wrong. Allow me to provide a list and make sure you're doing these things: 1) Turn your computer on. You can't play and team when your comp is off. You can't wish or use the Force to play without your comp. Please stop trying this. I am afraid you'll try so hard that you may shat yourself and bust your O ring. 2) Comp on then log on to the game. You need to have an account and a toon ready to play etc. 3) When/if you navigate 1 and 2 and get into the game, try typing. That's right...typing. Ask to join a team. Join a team being advertised in the LFG channel or others. Again, you can't use the Force to join a team and play. You must put in a bit of 'work', 4) Actually try and team and so on. I hope these suggestions help. Sincerely, Bartholomew J. Hutt

It's pretty good. There will be squabbles but still one of the better communities out there. If you can't take a little ribbing then life is not going to be kind to you...let alone any game.

I hesitate on BIO tanks due to the DDR issue. There is mitigation but I tend not to go DEF on tanks - some exceptions here, of course. Do you, by chance, have a build for a stone/staff tank? Does anyone? I am looking for softcap RES to most, if not atll, and whatever else...

I may have missed it, and apologies if I have, but do you have a build for stone/staff? I haven't messed around with staff before and was wanting to give it a go.

What is the viability of Stone/Staff? Staff is a big unknown as I've never really leveled a staff toon. If it's a good combo, do you have a build for it?

Interesting mechanic. I am not too into scrappers but want to try them out. Do you have a build and attack chain you could share? I was looking at MA/SR. Is Ninj better?

You wouldn't happen to have a good build for the 'punchy' DOM types, would you? You mentioned Ele/Earth...is that a good one?

Awesome. I shy away from Doms due to how expensive it is for high recharge (builds). I want to try Arse so I may give it a go...

Thanks for the build. So, you cast spirit ward on the cannon? How effective is that? Cool idea.

Any chance you can post this build?

Hey all! I haven't really gone to this AT. I am wondering if there is a combo that works well or plays well. What do you all like/prefer? Is there a powerset(s) that is much better or uber when a stalker uses it? I'd like to give it a go. Posting the build would be much appreciated!

I kinda agree with this...and kinda don't. HC made an epic mistake in giving 1,000 slots per shard. Ridiculous. They still refuse to reduce that number. I think enough warnings went out and if people didn't log in to save their names etc, then maybe they don't care to play anymore.

Does anyone have a pic for a bear themed toon? I was thinking a tank....INV/SS. Have that whole 'bear' look and all...

It seems these builds are no longer opening?

So, do we need to update our client before tonight's name event? The suspense...it is palatable...

I am looking for new stuff to try. How do you find AR? Where does it rank in the damage tiers? Secondary? I have a Fire/Dark CORR and he is pretty amazing. Durable with solid DPS.

As noted above, Red side is not that populated. However, if you form teams, they will come. It isn't too tough to get a team rolling and there is a new accolade associated with completing certain SFs so that is another draw. Homecoming has a high quality product and they've added content. I'll admit I do not like what they've added but there is some new stuff via HC. Now, which AT....hmmmm...what do you like playing now? It's a tough question without more info. For me, I like a sturdy character and don't want to make hospital runs all the time. So, I often go Brute and also Tank (the tanker improvements make them far more viable for all types of play). With IOs and a solid build, any AT works. It's all about preference.

This is great. I know there are a ton of talented players - have the ability to make cool content. It really is too bad the Dev team has refused to allow players to make content for the game via my AE 2.0 idea. Le sigh...

Fair comment. I just feel there needs to be a serious revamp in the way these missions are put together. I know some people are really into the lore and story. I enjoy a bit of that too. However, for me, it isn't as important as game play. If I had to pick, I'd take fun game play over story. I'm here to play a game. Again, I'm really liking what the HC team has done for the most part. The quality is on par with the Live team (if not better) but it could be better. I think HC has a chance to really revitalize this game.

Then why bother playing the game? It's an MMO with a TEAM of players - not always but most people team. There are a lot of these new arcs that are just not fun to play and do not lend to other players in the team. I, for one, have no desire to Wiki the mission I just ran to get clued in as to what's going on. The mechanics and missions are not too sophisticated and can be accomplished without knowing the plot. It's too bad HC seems to want to not allow all to read or understand what's happening. Often the dialogue is also limited to the team leader or the dialogue boxes fire off too quickly and even overlap making reading them a bit tough. My friends and I have run a number of these arcs and the consensus is the same for the most part: not fun. Just my 2 cents.

It's sad to see things like this. But it is also amazing to see the support and the community coming together to pay respect. Rest in peace, GE.

Ok, so I've been running around with my toon for a while. Pretty fun but is absolutely not able to handle multiple groups in Cimerora. The big mobs on the rooftops usually do a number on my toon and I land in ye olde hospital. It's kinda sad since I have DEFs and CORRs that can wreck these mobs lol (as well as tanks and brutes). It is kinda odd how some of the toughest enemies in CoX are ancient warriors. Makes zero sense. Ah well. Back to the funny pages!

What's the best Brute set to get mostly softcap on RES and high DEF as well? I have a Rad/Stone Brute that is pretty good for this. But is there... better?!
