  1. Its also easy to hide under your clothes for a quick change.
  2. February 2005, around a couple of weeks after the EU release. I want to say the 15th. Saw it on the shelf and the art caught my eye. Thought making your own hero sounded great. Didn't know what an MMO was back then. Yes. It felt extremely saddening. I had friends on live and COH was as much about interacting with them as it was playing a game. I was on Defiant server's last Hami raid and failed to get a spot on a team. Felt like such a sad, unfulfilled end to have future content teased and to not have a team on my final battle. Its an apt name since a homecoming was exactly how it felt. COH is unique. To have something like that back was exciting and filled the MMO gap no other could in those years. I quickly grabbed my new mains's name and all the names of my live toons that I wanted to keep. Happy its back, worried it might leave. Its very nostalgic but at the same time I look forward to trying new powersets. Its really just names and costumes I've retained from live. My Shield/Psi Tank is my main. I love tanks for the punishment they can take and psi finally gives me telekinesis (my favourite super power) on a tank. Shield is a rare armour in that it not only does not hide your costume but adds to it.
  3. When you have chronic ocd you remember, trust me. 😄
  4. Easy access to everything, including all favourite temp powers with minimum disruption.
  5. Its forking brilliant! My main is a Shield/Psi Tank. 😀

    ???/Psi

    Also if you go shield, you get a damage buff which makes mass levitate a much better power.
  7. Agent Stab (Willpower/Dual Blades) uses rocket boots and rocket wings in order to fly. Mostly natural with a bit of tech is a good way around it.
  8. As long as I'm somewhere in the 80% + region I'm comfortable and get good results. I do prefer more if I can get it though and only go down to the 80's on certain powers if balancing my build calls for a little sacrifice.
  9. I know what you mean. My widow was so utterly rubbish that I had to go all out so she could live a least for a while. Luckily being a shield tank means grant cover adds a lot of defence.
  10. Only one negative to really consider with Shield/Energy Melee is that the energy clips through the shield and is always on during combat. May not be a big deal for you but it drove my ocd crazy back in the day because it looked so ugly.
  11. I'm 40 now. Was 24 when I started and only had one grey hair. Now I have countless. 😁
  12. Telekinesis was stupidly fun on DCUO. Its the one thing I miss the most.
  13. You don't ever really get your very own villainous plot line. Where as heros are automatically doing everything they should, fighting crime and saving people. You're a real hero and never a true villain, more like a glorified henchman. I do find plenty of character in the red side zones but ultimately prefer blue sides look. Being a hero is more relatable, too. I know the question was the opposite of my answer but I can't find anything that keeps me there. I do enjoy it for a bit of variety here and there though.
  14. I thought of Crysis when I read the title. 😆
  15. Best PUG was my first Frostfire on live. We died so many times we formed the SG called 'The Predominantly Dead' after we finally emerged victorious. We never teamed up again sadly. It was one of those ideas that was good at the time. Still one of my favourite CoH memories.
  16. I teamed with a kinetic melee yesterday for what felt like the first time. All I kept thinking was 'that looks reeeeally weird'.
  17. I already do this exact same thing with my ice tank. Really completes the concept.
  18. Back on live I once spotted 'Hardcore Prawn'. That one was hilarious and walking the line, not stepping over it imo.
  19. You can skip it. Just be sure to make good use of your taunt aura. Although as a recent mental ITF filled with suicidal squishies taught me, it pays to have a taunt with range. There may be situations where you wish you had it but in general you'll be fine.
  20. Mass Levitate. They designed it pretty well with the violent eruption of screen shaking energy. Then its 'weeeeeeeee', free ride!
  21. I'm too old to drink at any time other than Xmas. Hell I was a lightweight even as a teenager.
  22. I know you shouldn't have to but go to Indy Port. The AE there is very quiet.
