Ironblade

On the bright side, I am leveling a corrupter specifically for these runs with the same build I had back in the live game. Unfortunately, my corr won't be 50 and fully incarnate by July 11th. Soon™

Oh yeah! I recall seeing those. That is pretty neat. I didn't remember who did it, though.

As long as it takes, Ed Gruberman!

Just recently I was on a Synapse TF with one of my tanks. We get to the end of it and the team leader sends me a tell, "Thanks for joining. You were really the linchpin of this team." Yes, he actually used the word 'linchpin'. My goodness. 🙂

You can store them wherever you want. I recommend storing them where it's convenient for you to find and back up, rather than the default. I store them in c:\data\text\coh\binds.txt And one of the binds in the file is: F12 "bindloadfile c:\data\text\coh\binds.txt" So I just have to type the line to load the bind file ONCE on a character. After that, if I edit the bind file, I just hit the button to reload the file. And I have Alt-F12 set to load my standard chat settings file so I don't need to do that manually. And you can get pretty meta with this. I have one keybind that loads an entire file of binds with text for the mothership raid, and a set for the Abandoned Sewer Trial, etc. When I'm done running it, I have a bind that ERASES those binds so I can't hit them by accident later on. And here's the command to erase, for example, the F12 key: F12 nop (In computerese, that stands for either No Operation or Null Operation - I forget which.)

To be fair, in the absence of other specialized channels, this has become a 'group content' channel. It's used to announce mothership raids, giant monster groups, etc.

Wouldn't surprise me. Aside from running my own group of SG's I also ran task forces and trials on Saturday afternoons with open sign-up on the forums.

I strongly suggest instead using: https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/The_Incomplete_and_Unofficial_Guide_to_/bind ParagonWiki is the site where the information originally came from and was compiled and maintained by fans. Fandom.com is a commercial site that simply takes content from other sites and has been infected with malware more than once.

Can't trust you because you're wrong and smug about it. That's always the worst - someone who is wrong and full of themselves. Absolutely guaranteed that each sale goes to the highest outstanding bit. Trust *ME* because I worked with a group who did extensive testing of the market. We even analyzed how the sales are filled if there are a bunch of identical bids when someone posts an item for sale.

That kind of temperature is no problem for a graphics card. I'd freak out if that was my CPU temperature.

Right. And note that the level shift for "all content" only applies when you're normally 50. If you're doing a task force that exemps you to 30, you're still 30, not 31.

There's another way, also. Go to one of the half-buried buildings on 'monkey island' and log out next to a door that's buried in the ground. When you log back in, you will come out of the door and be under the map. Then fly to the matrix room under the map and type /stuck. That will move you into the matrix room. That's how I used to do it. Then you can Recall your friends in.

That is exactly BACKWARDS. All sales on the auction house go to the current HIGHEST bidder.

I thought that time was off by an hour so I checked to be sure. Per the donation and finances FAQ post https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/14674-donations-finances-faq/ the donation window typically starts at 19:00 UTC. That is actually 3PM in the Eastern time zone, noon Pacific time. Of course, this will shift in November.

Fascinating. I do the exact opposite. On any character that is getting a stealth IO, I put it into one of the prestige sprints rather than regular sprint. And my reason is . . . Every character has a default keybind to control the sprint power so it doesn't take up space in my trays. I only have a handful of characters using a stealth IO so they have a prestige sprint in the tray since they're the exceptions.

Not a single one. I have MANY characters where I took 9 powers from the primary *OR* 9 from the secondary, but not a single one that took all nine from both.

Actually, it makes perfect sense. By adopting an upright position with bipedal locomotion, we freed up our forelimbs from being used in movement. This allowed them to specialize for fine manipulation and to engage in tool use while moving - hunting, for example.

Well, the damage cap is high enough that 8 Assault toggles won't reach it. I don't believe there is a hard cap on defense or to-hit - just anything beyond a certain point is wasted.

Yep. And I believe a tomato is technically a berry.

Not only does Maneuvers (and all the leadership toggles) stack, the team toggles that Arachnos Soldiers get also stack. So they can have those toggles PLUS the Leadership toggles. It's possible to stack Vengeance, but not reliably. You need to be on voice chat to synchronize and be accurate enough to land both between 'server ticks'.

Nope. And I know you've been around long enough to know why, but I'll explain for anyone who doesn't know how this works. The SG bases are instanced maps, just like a mission map. As such, they are effectively a different world - there is no measurable distance from the zone you left to the interior of the base. However, map features like City Hall, stores, the arena are actually on the same map but hidden far below ground level. This is why you can target a teammate who is in a store - they're somewhere on the same map. This is also why you can access the auction house from City Hall or a store but NOT from a supergroup base or a mission map.

I mostly agree on all of these points. One of my friends told me that her best memory from CoH was when she was on a Synapse TF. They were in the mission right before Babbage shows up and she sent me a tell asking if I could come help with Babbage. I gathered the people in the SG and, when the team exited the mission, there were seven of us from the SG, in uniform, waiting outside the door. I don't think it's a big deal if the SG is THEMED. Some are and work well, some are not also work well. I agree the SG's being character based is an issue (and always has been). Back when the game was live, my SG was big enough that I had to limit how many characters people could have in the main SG. We had two coalition SG's that I ran for additional characters. Overall, I think there is definitely a point to SG's. Originally, there were THREE reasons (in my opinion) that they were useful: 1. As a social organization. 2. As a transport hub. 3. As a storage location. Item 2 no longer matters with the base passcode function but the other two reasons are as valid as ever.

You make it sound like the term originated in CoH. The term DPS predates this game. On a side note, the term DD (for Damage Dealer) was also used in the past and is commonly used in some regions.

Rescheduled to Saturday afternoon.

In my opinion, no. The only uniques in my build (not counting purples, which are all uniques) are the Kismet +acc and the +def uniques. Since my primary is broadsword (the slowest scrapper primary), I don't like missing or waiting. My build has +57% global accuracy and +60% global recharge. This is not counting the incarnate Alpha slot, where I took Spiritual, putting my click self-heals at over 125% heal and recharge. I also have Tactics (I said I don't like to miss) and Focused Accuracy (which I only turn on when I really need it, like in PvP zones). To handle the recharge, I also have some +recovery (just 34%). To be fair, though, I didn't really build for that. A lot of sets have it as the first bonus.
