it's always best to team-up until you get the hang of an archetype and when you team up with non-Kheldian archetypes you get buffs from each different type of archetype you team up with. Keep it simple. Start off getting a decent human form going. Your defenses work best at range, so stay at range until you are ready to "arrest" an enemy. For your first Kheldian, I would suggest trying either the squid (blaster) or the dwarf (tank). The squid is very squishy. I don't like turning into it unless someone else can taunt the enemy. If someone else is controlling the agro, I turn into squid and blast away. This is the kind of kheldian that I'm playing now, so I tent to spend most of my time in human form. I haven't played a Dwarf in a long time, but as I recall the Warshades are better Dwarves than Peacebringers. Form switching with a dwarf can work sort of the same way and the intent is to pull agro, so, once high enough, run into the crowd as a human, nuke, and switch up to dwarf to draw agro. Always take down Voids, Quantums, cysts <sp?>, etc. first. aka anything that does negative damage. And as soon you can get armor against negative, enhance it! (hint: there is a base buff that can give you some negative energy resistance, don't leave your base without it.) Oh, and watch carefully when picking power to make sure you are picking powers that work in squid or dwarf form depending up on which 2nd form you pick. I seriously suggest not playing a 3 form kheldian until you feel good playing a 2-form human/squid and a human/dwarf. I also suggest making macros that to change trays to match your current form. But having said that, I play with a controller about 90% of the time, so I have lots of tray switches and tricks to avoid touching the keyboard or mouse.

I think there is a cover-up going on. When I search for "was dev castle against water power in city of heroes?", one of the search results is :: Count Dracula - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Count_Dracula Count Dracula is the title character of Bram Stoker's 1897 gothic horror novel Dracula. ... One of Dracula's most iconic powers is his ability to turn others into ...

Excelsior is the new Freedom server equivalent. Highest population and the kind of players that flock to the highest population servers Everlasting (the unofficial role-playing server) has the 2nd highest population. [EDIT :: ... so kind of like Virtue] Torchbearer is like the #3 server population-wise most of the time. Reunion is the European servers, so they tend to have more actively during European active hours. Good people on this server but the population is low most of the time. Indomitable is the unofficial PVP server. I think it takes a significant hit for that. Part of that is because CoH really isn't built for PVP, and the in-game attitudes of some that are PVP focused. All that in consideration. it is the lowest population server. I find Torchbearer to have a very civil crowd with people both looking for teams and those willing to run teams. As always in THE CITY, generally if you recruit for a team, you will find people that want to team with you. This is because people are hesitant to recruit/lead a team, but they will join in a heartbeat.

Oh, dang! I can't click the laugh reaction and thumbs up on the same post!

So I ran into this. They have only allotted us so much space to upload images. Click on your name and on "my attachments". You can see what you have attached and how close you are to your limit. To avoid reaching this limit, you need to post urls instead of uploading an image from your computer. If you have a google account, you can save photo files, get the url link, and then post the link the forums via the "other media" button or simply copy-and-paste the URL into the body of the text like I did below This links to the url versus saving the image to the forums. I'm sure the community has to pay to store any images saved on the forum side. Honestly, wish I would have known this before I started uploading images from my computer versus linking to a website. I found the image above on the net. Right clicked on it. Opened the image in new tab. and then use that url to post the image.

When was the last DEV shake up before the sunset? I cancelled my subscription and quit playing almost exactly a year before the sunset.

Whatever matches your character conception <--- would always be my first pick. I like Dark/Dark, Dark/Titan Weapon, Fire/Staff, Electric/Street Justice, Shield/Mace, etc. <-- I'm an alt-jumper so I'm making them by character suggestion, but I have made all these and they are fun to play when I play them.

I didn't read the whole thread to check, but I'm assuming this still stacks with reputation - is that correct? I would hope the selection names have a hover-over pop-up that explain what the different settings mean during the selection process.

Security first. That is understood.

Well, that is over exaggerating. When labels are applied, they do cause reactions. I don't report people to the mods unless it is death threats or something else that would be code of content breaking. If ignore was salt, my doctor would tell me to stop using the forums.

Understood. Thanks Well, you're still showing as "newbie" so I will have to take what you have to say with a grain of salt 😜

I'm not against the reaction emotes in general. I'm against the added thumb-up and thumbs-down which I saw removed from various gaming forums several years ago.

Thanks. I apologize for being defensive.

I'd like to see the retention of some uniqueness among the archetypes. I like the fact that comic books were historically very stark in their delineation. I'm not a fan of the "everything is a grey area" I brought up super strength about blasters ... but I known in Seismic on test they can throw boulders at this point and summon meteors, so I guess we are sort of heading that way anyway.

Yes. One of the supergroups that I'm involved with is coalition-ed with 5 other supergroups. I don't know the limit. " A single supergroup can coalition with up to ten other supergroups, forming a coalition of up to eleven." - https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Coalition

Yes. Which proves my point. So I have two questions, why was your reply worded as an attack? Did I do something somehow to offend you by posting my opinion? But I guess you have the right to talk down to me because I'm just a "newbie" with 864 posts and a reputation of 546, while you are apparently superior being a "rookie" with 425 posts and a reputation of 206.

I think Spiderman is more of a tank. I agree that Spider-man does have super strength. Not to the degree of Superman, but strength far superior to "moral" men. More of a scrapper? No. He can take far more damage than a scrapper. he can throw around cars if he wanted to. He is more of a tank than a scrapper. Perhaps more of a brute, but that is a villain archetype and the thread is about scrappers gaining a tanker power set. If you give super strength to scrappers then why not give it to stalkers, dominators, and blasters as well? I think this falls into the same area as why scrappers don't have taunt.

People like to ding. I think Forum Badges are a bad idea. It is going to cause a flood of postings simply to achieve badges. It will also create a caste system by labeling the poster openly and obviously so others can make judgement upon them based on the displayed badge. Wasn't displaying the post count enough? There was no judgemental attachment to the number of posts. The badge names obviously imply something by the name chosen. Some "names" obviously have negative connotations. It would be best not to give someone a badge at all versus giving them one that implies a negative connotation. -- I'm going to go ahead and say it at this point. I think adding the thumbs-up and thumbs-down was a bad idea. I wasn't going to say anything, but, since I'm posting about the badges, I might as well say it now. The thumbs-down is just /jranger without a post.
