  1. Its in a new category 'running'. Celerity is under the category 'running and sprints'. They branched the sets that can go in sprint into its own category a while back so they could make more powerful sets that have to go in an actual travel power.
  2. It sure suprised me /respect to the Crystal Titan
  3. Training origin doesnt drop anymore. Vendors in supergroup bases still have them available for purchase. Regular vendors sell single origin all the way down to level 5 meaning a level 2 can use them. Only a new account would be likely to not have enough influence to have a full set of single origin. Choosing to only use drops or influence earned by that character doesnt take the vendor away and its reasonable to design content with fully SO'd low level characters in mind. Im not saying all content is supposed to be hard, but ive also not found a mission that cant be solo'd at -1 no boss no AV either.
  4. Failed the first run. Succeeded on the second run. The first run was textbook all the way through. First the giant monster then the rock wall. Farmed up some ambrosia. Then the mold wall and half cleared the pond while the others freed the heroes before helping clear the pond. Then we went to the Crystal Titan, ate our ambrosia and headed in. 5 seconds later our corruptor died - he ate ambrosia but we werent expecting its damage to be that much higher. Apparition warned us his damage was increased but i didnt expect it to matter. Specifically it was the titans foot stomp that 1 shot the corruptor, well 2 shot when adding a tick of the damage aura. I was tanking and had to monitor myself and use some of my defensive click abilities. We killed it but had already lost the badge. So we pulled up our big hero spandex and went again. This run was much faster since we skipped the ambrosia farm room. Everything else was identical to the first run and then we are staring at the titan again. This time we make sure the squishies stay out of range of foot stomp and everything goes smoothly. I say im happy we failed the first run because the Crystal Titan fight in a regular run has become incredibly easy and losing to it once makes me feel like we earned our badge and didnt have it handed to us. We were on Torchbearer and id like to give a shout out to the team but i dont remember all the names so reply if you were there and ill add it. @Apparition @Anyad @Monovalent @MornaInPink @purplemanwolf then myself and the 2 others i cant remember (sorry) 😞. Someone else from the team remind me so i can add them 😁 Thanks all of you for 2 great runs!
  5. I think both of those are perfect. I hope its intentional.
  6. The crystal ones with a reskin for metallic i think would be the least amount of work to get it running. But when i need metal blast i use Full Auto.
  7. The unofficial wiki isnt maintained by the homecoming team. That information was correct for past years but its not guaranteed to go on sale.
  8. Sounds like a good fit for a poison corruptor or defender against high hp targets since they have alot of -res going on already.
  9. There is supposed to be a pause there while pierce tries to guess the code for the door. Make sure you have cutscene captions in one of your channels to see the progress there. NPC dialogue is a different channel, make sure you have cutscene captions.
  10. Are you going to the tailor to select a costume to edit so it changes what u are wearing? Just click menu then costume and change it from anywhere. Apparently there is even a shortcut button 'K' thats already the default as Shenanigunner stated.
  11. Im only as good a tank as the team i have behind me. Unless Anyad is there, then i stock up on greens.
  12. I read the post more like he didnt want to get involved if the dev team is gonna quit in a few months, not that if it takes a few months for an update. Text is so poor for communication so ill reply as if its the former. The team has been working on moving the game forward for several years now and just a few days ago released another major content update. Major updates tend to have a slightly longer period of time between them over paid games but the team takes time to release tested and polished content. They are a small and volunteer team so if course there are the occasional bugs that slip through. There is a huge amount of content in the game already but it requires reading the mission dialogue. Even at maximum level, its possible to replay most of the content from lower levels and for the very few things that arent (a few alignment missions i believe) you can team with someone who is playing it. And if you ever manage to finish all the content in the game then you havent because players can create missions too and there are some with even better writing then the main game. There are literally thousands of player created missions with more added every day.
  13. It could be out of range for the updated teleport mechanics. If your target isnt in line of sight then it now uses pathing beacons around the corners to check for range. That non straight path can put them out of range but i wouldnt rule out jankiness either.
  14. If there was only one then her name would be singleshot
  15. Its becoming more difficult to compare new mobs to old mobs, especially at lower levels. Players used be a mix of DOs and TOs in the 12-15 range and you couldnt even slot a SO until lvl 22. Now you can be fully SO at lvl 2 onward and that can be taken into consideration when making new mobs. With enhancements that are 2 to 4 times stronger then what players had, yes it may need a balance check but we arent playing city of 2004. The devs are trying new things. Some are well received and others arent but they are moving the game forward and thats much more then most other CoH servers have.
  16. The Worthy Target badge.
  17. Its the thing that RPers use to write their characters bio ingame.
  18. I havent had a chance to run it yet, but the original version of the trial it was required to click all simultaneously. Teams would have trouble trying to clear each tunnel before respawns or drop someone off each time and they would stand around for 20 minutes waiting/hoping the rest of the team would make it to their clickies. As for merits, you can thank the speedrunners for the low amounts. 8 speedrunners finish in 2 minutes, a solo speeder finishes in 5. Cant be giving them 20 merits for 5 minutes of soloing. If a certain mission has out of proportion rewards you can be sure it will be farmed. Not that farming is good or bad just that getting 8 together for an hour could potentially produce over 300 merits times 8 members. It would be better merits then a hami raid if you didnt have to wait for the league to fill and hami spawns off the first mob each time. It may need a balance check but i suspect it will be awhile so they can let the changes 'sink in' before making more changes.
  19. Id maybe be ok with taunt temporarily letting someone go over the cap but even that has downsides of tanks and brutes just spamming taunt and not using other abilities. I think we are at the 'if it aint broke, dont fix it' part of the agro cap at this point.
  20. In the land of double and disabled xp, it really is up to us now to turn on and off as needed if we want to run a whole zone. But a portion of the exterior of the zone would need to be lowered in level and im not sure that fits well with a hazard zone.
  21. Its the recharge time of a power before global recharge is applied that can reduce the proc rate. Grab hasten and 5 luck of the gambler global recharge and as many global recharge set bonuses as you can and your powers will be recharged much more quickly without lowering the proc rate. However the alpha slot recharge counts as individual enhancements on each power so it can reduce your proc chance.
  22. A color wheel color picker. The game is perfectly capable of displaying any color without a hit to performance because of how costume data is sent and then displayed.
  23. When im at my computer im on the game. When im at wor.... when im not at my computer i use my phone for the forum.
  24. Weird because 99% of my forum usage is from my phone and it used to show the reputation under each avatar.
