[Issue 27: Second Chances, Page 1 Open Beta]

Great news. I cannot believe we get new content.

Thank you for all of your dedication and time, big thumbs up and a lot of love from this one.

[Mind/Martial - Need Build / Slotting feedback please]

Got it, thank you. 

Can certainly see the point in that (and the difference in price for those two)

[To DFB or Not to GRIEFER(!)]

In my experience the badge for Meinst is a 50/50 chance, with the biggest culprits either Sands of Mu, Barrels or kids playing who either don't read chat or don't comprehend what it entails. 

Never had the impression it was done on purpose (Excelsior). 

In my experience it often takes quiet a while to whittle her down, depending on the level and classes of people involved. 

 

But mostly, just reminding people not to use pets, AoE, Cones like Sands of Mu usually helps.

 

I just wouldn't worry to much about that badge right away, hope the rest of your experiences are more positive. 
I would be happy to run DfB with you if you need the badge on some toon. (Server doesn't matter for that one luckily)

Thank you Excidium.

The +Stealth IO is a great Idea. 

As for the recharge, shouldn't the force feedback Proc have the same end result as the LotG ? 

Or are the LotG always in effect and the Force Feedback proc only when you attack ? 

 

Scorpion Shield is also a good point.

Hello all you wonderful people,

 

i would really like to make this Dom work. I have no expectations of soloing AVs / GMs, but would like to be able to participate in smaller and larger groups and hold my own.

I am dead set on Cross Punch but would like some feedback on the following please:

 

- Epic Power Pool Choice

-- Which would you take here and maybe why

 

- Slotting

-- I tried avoiding anything costly unless strictly necessary for some reason.

-- I would like perma hasten and maybe perma dom is possible ?

-- Unsure if my defense / resistance values are sufficient (considering i probably wont have much agro)

 

- Build Advice in general

Welcome Home!

 

And, if you haven't already chosen a Shard (although Shard Transfers are free and replenish weekly), here's a little blurb about each:

Everlasting - Officially Unofficial Roleplay Shard.  Sports the highest Redside population.

Indomitable - Officially Unofficial PvP Shard.  Same rules as any Shard, but PvP players tend to congregate here.

Reunion - Official European Shard.  It's based out of Germany, while all the other Shards on Homecoming are based in a server clutser based out of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Torchbearer - The original Homecoming Shard.  It's where it all began.

Excelsior - Most populous Shard.  If you were a fan of Freedom back during Retail/Legacy, then this one might be your speed.

 

There are also Aeon and Brainstorm, the Beta Shards where "cheat" debug commands are expressly activated, but characters are subject to deletion without notice.  I believe we also occasionally have a couple of Release Test Shards when the time comes, though I can't remember their names off the top of my head.  You can access these by changing your Manifest file to: https://manifest.cohcc.gg/testing.xml

I settled on the european servers for now. Wanted to try some of the others but i am not sure how high the ping can go without severely impacting gameplay.

Maybe someone playing from not-canada can share their ping and experience ?

[I'm coming home]

Was hanging out with a few colleagues and one mentioned MMOs. While talking we went on a nostalgia trip about CoH/CoV.

Came home and googled it for some old videos. What do i see, it's been back for over a year and the universe in its cruel ways kept that information from me.

 

No more. It's time.

 

I'm coming home.

 

 

Oh my, so many replies ! 🙂

 

Quick update, after creating only a dozen chars and not getting one past 10 i am reasonably sure i will now settle on Elec/Energy Stalker.

Primarily because it is the one class i never played back in the day.

Will be trying out Excelsior Server.

Anyone else having the worst case of altoholism in this game ?=

 

Quick update to the update, Sentinel it is. Dual Pistol/Willpower. I can feel it, this is the one. Now all i need to do is find the most boring looking groups so nobody gives me any ideas.
