After using the toga last night to make a yet another alt, it was fresh in my mind today when I went to open up Cimerora. Most of the NCs there wear it. Nothing new. Nothing special. However, Atticus (-633, -56, 3858) has just the bottom portion as a kilt. (He's also one of the NPCs you talk to to if you do Senator Decimus Aquila welcome mission.) It there a way to port that to players?

I split the difference on the weapons. Got a modern look for the costume. Shield is straight from the Council Ascendants, The axe would be some high tech light based thing. My own thought being he's networked enough to find someone who makes/sells the light based weaponry. It might be a big investment, but it's the right time to get something capable of handling situations more dangerous than a simple heist. (Besides, do you know how long it takes to sharpen an axe after you cut through a freak tank?) My little scrapper is starting to look a bit more buff after 10 levels of things that are a bit more intense than the Vahzilok and random street thugs. I keep hearing rumors about magical weapons from the ancient past, and am looking forward to exploring the Vangaurd and Rikti conflict. (Serioiusly debating on whether it's worth it to sit the shadow hard TFs to "get" those peices. Might have to fudge that one.) Though, in honor of the season, he might hae found somebody's mummy. Thanks for all the help and encouragement guys. Not feeling super on this one yet, but out of the glass cannon phase and definitely felling more fun.

Okay. Right off the bat, I hace a question. If I offload my healing and end mod procs to physical perfection, will I lose the effects of the procs if/when I exemp down and lose physical perfection? My understanding is that for those procs you have to both be within 3 level of proc's minimum level and have the power it's slotted into. (So if I drop a level 10 Regenerative Tissue in that, losing access to Physical perfection at 35 would also make the regenerative tissue stop working as well.) Am I understanding correctly?

So, currently level 32, so I'm still leveling. But I'm just about to start aquiring the final sets I'll be using, and was hoping for a fresh pair of eyes to see if I could optimize better. I haven't really thought too hard about the incates on him yet. That's going to be more of a feel thing when I get to the upper 40s https://api.midsreborn.com/legacy/download?uc=1644&c=715&a=1430&f=HEX&dc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

Fair point. That is one of the strengths of the game. It has the frame work in place, but is not so hung up on itself that Sun Zu and Mr Scott ould be on the same team and seem out of place

For my own head cannon for my Axe/Shield scrapper. I'm hoping to show a progression in his costumes. He started out semi homeless earning a living in the back alleys. his first costume was street clothes and weapons from a couple of lowbie villain groups. (Vahz butcher knife and a stop sign.) Level 20 costume was a mishmash that looked like it came from the 70's. (Basically hand me downs from retired heroes and garage sale finds) Now he's hit 30 and I'm having to ask, how modest should it be? I know INF does not translate to dollars and cents. I know Council Ascendants (shield) and the Warriors (for the axe) both start at 20. (Not to mention the city services equipment I'd like to think should be there for the asking for any moderately successful hero.) I'd imagine 40+ you're world famous and have companies tripping over themselves to have you using their stuff. It's just 30 that seems like you aren't there, but you definitely have some access. I'm just not sure how much. Is this another hand me down costume, but it doesn't have to look like it's horibly outdated? Would sporting goods/outdoor supply companies be making a move? (Our axes are strong enough to drop a Freak Tank!) So what's the consensus? Am I off base? Am I stressing over a minor part of the hero's existance?

They use a Roomba! Quick! Someone grab that head module! Maybe I can upgrade K4Z-0.... Get off of K4Z-0! He isn't fully functional yet. Clockwork/Resistance are everywhere, but for real fun there's Seers/Freakshow/Longbow.

Idea one: More patrons. Use some of those little used NPC meta humans for patron contacts. Coyote comes to mind as a prime example of a more experienced hero that shows up once and wouldn't necessarily be world ending if they showed up a second time. Basically just undefined supers that could "grant access" to different thematically inclined pools. In the example of Coyote, maybe he could offer some Mother Nature inspired powers. (Heroic MM are a thing these days after all. 🙂 ) Idea two : The "problematic one" if someone goes out of there way to unlock the patron pools, instead of them being epic pools with extra steps, let players grab that one power from the pool that would naturally coincide with their AT. Since they seem pretty formulaic with some ranged damage, an armor, a pet, a control, a mellee attack, and some sort of buff/debuff (Gives Scirocco the evil eye on that last one) give a split 6th option that fits the current AT. So the mellee folks would have the split choice of an extra armor or the mellee damage, the MM might get to choose from two different pets etc.

Thank you for the information everyone! I greatly appreciate it.

So I'm back to playing again for the first time since the passing of a dear friend of mine who was an avid player of CoX. (Glowing Embers, a fire/radiation controller was their main. Victory was their live server and Indomitable was their home here.) With that out of the way, onto the questions. Boomtown. When did they start rebuilding it? I was through there and there's constuction near the entrance. Are they planning a full revamp ala Faultline or is this just going to be a little bit here and a little bit there as the relevant devs get time to update things? Now onto Atlas, when did Atlas start getting seasonal changes? (I love Atlas's giant pumpkin. And that's despite/because of I was dialing my late friend before I realized what I was doing) Is it just the halloween event that gets the changes? Are there any plans to take it to other zones? Finally, I have a gameplay question. Is it possible to do Shivan runs in the middle of a Flashback arc? I recall doing them a time or two on regular TFs, but those oroboros badges generally take longer than I have/had the time and attention span to tackle all at once. Thanks in advance for any answers you can give!

Storm is controlled chaos. It is a blast on teams, but solo a lot of it's potential is wasted. For Energy blast, the single target damage is great, but AoE is very lacking. That being said, the best advise I can give is to simply play around with it until you get the feel for it and what it needs. I like storm as a controller secondary, simply so you can control the scatter and stack the controls or fill control gaps. Most of Storm's powers are great at 3 or 4 slots. It does have one of the steeper learning curves though. As a defender, your secondary effects are going to be stronger than any other AT. I personally would not do energy blast if you're going to neuter the secondary effect. I get it, Energy sucks on teams if the user isn't actively using the knockback to get things back to the group's tank. I'd suggest dark, sonic, radiation, or ice for blasts. Those offer secondary effects that will help your debuffing game while giving you more tools to deal with things on your way to the AVs

Enhancement Set Bonus Range in Beta Server
Urthstorm replied to huang3721's topic in Open Beta Testing
To the best of my limited knowledge, as long as you meet the minimum level requirements for the set you get the bonuses. The set's top level only sets how powerful the individual IOs can be. For example, Triage has a level range of 10-30 and has 4 enhancements. So you grab the first 2 at level 10, the third one at level 20, and that fourth 1 at level 30. So at level 7 (The soonest you could slot the first 2) you start getting the first set bonus. You'd keep that set bonus all the way up to level 50+. Then with number 3 you'd get that bonus at level 17 (again the soonest you could slot it) and keep it. Finally the fourth one can be slotted at level 27 and of course keep it as long as you're above level 27. Now say you decide that those 2 at level 10 really aren't strong enough to be worth it. You can use a special salvage from the merit vendor to change them into attuned IOs. (Or just plunk the money down on the auction house for the attuned ones) Then as you level up from 7, those first 2 will get stronger as well, but will stop growing in strength at level 30 (the top level of our example set) . If you ever exemplar back to level 7, you'd still keep the set bonus from having the first 2 slotted. (Of course you'd still get the benefits from having the other two slots filled, but since you're too low for the set bonuses number 3 and 4 the game would treat them like regular old enhancement.) Make sense now?? -
The ability to drop contacts or mark them inactive
Urthstorm replied to Urthstorm's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Twinshot does seem the type to stalk and harrass someone for 20 levels lol. Edited to remove some bad comedy.
