    My questions about servers and a million other things as a returning enthusiast!

    in General Discussion

    See? My topic helped 🙂

     

    So I've been here three or four days now. My overwehelming enthusiasm managed to convince 4 of my ex-CoH Veteran friends to jump back in with me and it's been three full evenings of mayhem in a row. 

     

    Wow.  This place is seriously amazing. And yesterday we discovered the cell shader; it makes the game into so much more!

     

    So although this topic was originally about servers, is it against forum etiquette if I use it to ask a thousand more unspecific questions or is there a place for that?  No sense starting a thread every time I have a simple question.

    @CoyotedancerYou're fast becoming my hero of the day!

     

    And since this topic has been nothing but awesome so fat as to answering question, I have this strange issue you guys might know about: I use LEFT/RIGHT clock a lot to walk forward but whenever I used it for more than 2-3 seconds, the character switches to auto-walk.  Is that normal?

    The great thing about having a thousand character slots? No reason not to try anything that seems interesting!

     

    Except a limited amount of time in a week,  What was wrong with Dark/Dark? Too much end-cost?

     

    Also, keep in mind that I know very little about top-tier mechanics. I only ever got ONE character to 50 and most of the "new" contents didn't even exist by then. I know that a lot of people plan ahead on super awesome and expensive builds.  I just want to have fun 🙂

    For my first few characters (Alting is life), I am considering these guys:


    Blasters:

    Energy/Atom (science)

    Water/Elec (Mutant)

    Beam Rifle/Energy (Tech)

    Dark/Time (Energy)

     

    Scrappers:
    Dual blade/Willpower (Natural) (Only if the blades can be customized)
    Dark Melee/Rad Armor (Magic)
    Electric Melee/Energy Aura (Tech)

     

    Controller:
    Electric/Kinetics (Science or Tech)
    Has Gravity control damage ever been fixed? I remember it used to suck

     

    Tanker: 
    Bio Armor/Titan Weapons (Muant)
    Dark Armor/Psi Melee (Magic)

     

    Defender:

    So many cool options...  Elec, Cold, FF, Nature with any of the blasts...

     

    Thoughts, anyone?

    This is an interesting topic.  I'm browsing the huge list of powersets now and I'm trying to plan ahead, wondering if there was really bad choices with very little synergy.

     

    I used to play an Elec/Ice blaster back in the day, she was insane fun but people kept telling me it was a terrible combo.

     

    Looking at the stats, there's probably a reason why 1/4 of the server plays a Spine/FireAura brute but, are there REALY bad combos I should stay clear of?

    Gosh I really need to jump back into it to understand some of this.  

     

    I once again really want to emphasize on how much I appreciate everyone's willingness to answer and help!  I hope we can run a mission or ten together in the weeks to come!

    And welcome home 🙂

     

    This.  This goes straight to my heart.

    While I completely understand what you mean, my question was mainly: will I be the only person having fun in Faultline or Boomtown because everyone wants on in the Rikti raids so they level to 50 as fast as humanely possible?

     

    I remember Mission Architect completely breaking the game back then. That and you ended up with a legion of people with no idea how to play their Archetype.

    In a superhero context, I don't really RP.  Besides, once powers start being clicked, this game becomes way too fast paced to start describing everything.  I guess I'll first roll on Excelsior!

     

    How's the levelling curve? Do people actually enjoy the game or it is still a Mission Architect fest to get from 1 to 50 in three hours?  To put you in context: I played CoH and then CoV for many, many months and I only ever got ONE character to 50.

    Hello beautiful people!

    I have just installed this last night, can't wait to play, I really liked CoH and for years I was so bummed out that in a sea of less-than-awesome MMOs, this fantastic game had to be one to die out.

     

    Then I heard of this place and now I am PSYCHED.

     

    First of all: HOLY MOLLY the GUI and presentation is NICE!  I can already tell that this place will be home!

     

    So yesterday the first thing that stopped me was that there were 5 possible server/shards.  Is there a preffered to roll on for new players?  I don't want to solo my way to 50, I want an active community, I want to be able to group with people and have fun.

     

    So please, tell me about the servers and what makes each of them special.

     

    See you out there!!
