I don't see a point in playing on multiple. Me, the Mrs and my only friend from live play on Excelsior. I get a nice neat character roster that way, too.

The ability to lift and throw physics objects with telekinesis and super strength. TK in DCUO was fantastic as a result.

I love it. Cleave feels odd but I'll get used to it. Having mained Ice/Axe on live it's great to finally have the combo feel as powerful as others.

Patch Release: All smash lethal attacks debuff defense and resistance (not including player attacks).

Thank you!

Tbh right now I hate the change. Being forced into more strict choices made decisions easy. The freedom is a bit much at the mo. Gonna take some adjusting to.

One of the many reasons I love being a Tank. Works well with the Mrs being a squishy.

By the way I'm not in that pic, although I did get one with Ghost Widow. No idea about the costumes to be honest but there was a funny story about Ghost Widow awkwardly getting changed in the toilet lol.

Did anyone here go to the CoH convention at the Omega Sektor in Birmingham back in 2008? There was a race held in game, artists to draw your toons, a Q and A etc. Still got my ncsoft bag of free stuff. Also Shadow Shard soldiers can spawn with the surnames of attendees. I went with my best mate and I always get a wave of nostaliga when I see an npc with our names. If I did it again I'd have to get a hotel. Sleeping at the venue meant I found out how many CoH players snore really loud.

I still can't believe we don't have a journalist day job.

Axe buffs!!! *drools*

All I know on creating a character is that I am never picking concept over fun again. When shield came out I picked energy melee over electrical as it fit the concept better. Not only did I pick a rubbish set over a good one, (a combo many chose for how good it is in fact) the em clipped horribly through the shield and drove my ocd craaaazy! But I had to stick with it because 'mah concept'. I just go with fun now.

The TK Cavalier, Shield/Psi Melee Tank. Shield is just so great all round. Positional defense, DDR, best mez protection, resistance, cool attack etc, etc. Makes an easy to work with base for a set build and adds something to your costume, too. Psi Melee includes telekinesis, my favourite super power. Also the variety in secondary effects and animations is nice.

I only took assault as there was nothing left of any worth to take once we got afterburner for free. From a tank point of view I don't think its worth it in a lot of cases. Yet another toggle sapping your endurance and a small benefit compared to how you're already protecting the team in an already easy game.

I can only think of 2 double edged swords. Travel powers at level 14 meant you got to know a few zones a lot better and added the thrill of danger and tension. However I love being able to soar through the sky at level 4. So much more freedom. Then there's IO's. I can make toons much better, fill in gaps and skip certain powers to make my builds easier but things can be too easy. Temptation of power vs challenge. One of the reasons I enjoy leveling more than being 50 at times. Looking forward to trying hard mode content.

My live one was either Axe or Axewrath (original main). Since the Mrs now plays we decided it would be 'cool' to have a new prefix each.

I'm going to watch DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM Patrol later!11!!!

Not played it but want to at some point.

With the altis that results from this game I second the motion to have an account wide check-in only. Having now read that the above its too difficult, how about no log out timer from when its implemented?

Focused Accuracy is a great buff for this. You could save up for a set build to get your end up. Ever since I did that on my main its been great.

Damage Modification, buff the damage of Assault, Build Up etc. Also a Taunt set with a knockdown proc.

Only if a toon is boring at low lvl or they serve another purpose. I wanted an Ill/Storm controller since the early days of live. Never got around to getting one to 50. I find just the early powers boring, so that plus long term desire meant i power leveled her. With my farmer I power leveled him as farming is all he'll be used for. Its rare that I will power level anything. There only ever going to be a finite amount of combos I'm interested in and I want to always have something new to experience in this game for as long as it lasts.

Can I cheat and have Gravity Control and Willpower? If not I'd be a Willpower/Psionic Melee Tank. I desparatly need more get-up-and-go and I could grab drinks with my TK. An odd mix of motivation and laziness.

No thank you. Let the smack talkers among the pvp crowd be isolated into certain zones please. That way I don't have to see it all the time in this otherwise wonderful game.

The greatest element of CoH is the customization. More options for everyone is only a good thing.
