[Power Set Exclusivity]

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

[What's missing in the character creator?]

Would love to have the Lost TV head.

[Blunders and brain farts.]

Yesterday I got in a right mood. I just rolled Justice Bee and wanted to take fly before bed. I had very limited time. Only I chose the tier 3 primary instead. Could I get any mission with enough mobs in, or mobs at all to quickly get to bed? Could I find an easy AE arc for a lowbie? Noooooooo. So I had to reroll and spank mobs in Atlas to get back to level 4. Not making that mistake again!

[Oldest player contest!]

Not read the thread yet but I reckon the dusty old vamp will win.🙃

[Setting a power to fire automatically]

I'm a shield user so my mez protection is a click. I am aware of how to get the green ring around the power by 'hold Ctrl + mouse left click'. Is there a way to do this by just using the keyboard alone?

 

Trying to program one of my gaming keyboard's macro keys to activate all toggles and to activate my click mez so it stays on auto.

[What Can Be Done to Recruit Players?]

Put simply I don't think coh is modern enough to attract much new blood. I get the piss taken out of me at work by younger gamers for playing coh. It's in a light hearted way but it shows that its only appealing to the old guard because, well, its old. I've been waiting for a relevant thread to bring that up. Not sure much could be done because to get more people interested I'm sure the answer would be to change the game itself.

 

Take a look at Final Fantasy. They had to stop selling it because its so popular. It's the new, up to date kid on the block.

[Always the last one you try (psi-melee praise)]

My main is a shield/psi tank. Everyone gets hung up on the robots thing. They forget that as a brute or tank you will outlast them so its not a big deal.

[Water Spout]

I love it. I've taken it on my storm controller to add even more chaos into the mix.

[Real Life Aggro]

I'm an order picker. Since my knees have gotten better and I'm back upto speed I get bloody tired. I tend to only play on my 2 days off or on leave due to that.

[If you lived in City of Heroes/Villains]

Atlas Park as a journalist. Low level villains and a ton of heroes always hanging around. Plus most parts look nice.

[Vampire movies, powers, themes, and my Nicolas Cage resentment...]

Some body got out of the wrong side of the coffin. You need cheering up old bean.

 

 

[Vampire movies, powers, themes, and my Nicolas Cage resentment...]

Watched an interview recently where he debunked the whole 'stars in anything' myth. Apparently there's plenty he turns down.

[Hibernate?]

Its not bad at all. Taunt just before you use it to keep some aggro on you and heal to full. Used to be the ultimate afk tool back in the day when there was no 30 second limit on it. Ice has big gaps in its protection so great healing helps mitigate that.

[Bad Build Decisions You're Willing to Admit To]

Back on live I didn't take tough and weave on my ice tank, I took manuvers. That's a mistake I didn't repeat.

[Dual Builds - Do You Use Them?]

For my main I have my tanking and proc monster builds. Once I can be bothered I'm going to make a tankroller sort of build. Presence pool, earth epic and psi melee as a solid base for it.

[Will the rest of the incarnate powers ever be unlocked?]

Perusing builds and reading about the things we're getting away with now shows me that ship sailed a long time ago.

I knew someone would say that. What I basically mean is Elder Gods, worse gods etc. Lets not have the game get even more silly in that regard.

[Will the rest of the incarnate powers ever be unlocked?]

I like having the incarnate system as we needed some sort of endgame. That said I don't think it should be taken any further. Things are easy enough as it is and I wouldn't want to see that getting worse by basically becoming gods.

[Battle Ax?]

I have an Ice Axe tank and shes absolutely brutal

Is that with or without an expensive build? I'm finally getting around to saving for and expensive build for mine (about time, was my old main on live) and he's far weaker than my other tanks when comparing standard IO builds.

[I have fans!]

I must be having a senior moment. I don't recall the servers merging. I remember they made Exalted, the VIP server...but no recollection of servers being removed/merged. 

 

Now I'm starting to doubt my memory. I'm sure I remember a merger. Somehow my name did get changed and not in a generic hero way.

[I have fans!]

When the servers merged back on live I was changed to Axewrath1. ☹️ Other than that I doubt I'll see another TK Cavalier running around.

[I'm trying to a Super Hero MM, more importantly i want to make a Thug MM]

I just made Eddie (Iron Maiden's Mascot) as a Thugs/Dark. 

Bruiser = Bruce Dickinson

Leuts = Steve Harris, Nicko McBrain

Minions = Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, and Janick Gers

 

His first costume is as close as I could get as I could to Killers album cover. I'm planning to make a stranger in a strange land cover, and several others as I figure them out.

 

As a massive Maiden fan I'd love to see your Eddie.

[How to improve tank damage]

I have Gaussian's in buildup so it procs 9/10 times. Very handy to know when the buff is coming, too.

[Why do people say Poison needs help?]

No one mentioning Masterminds? On live I had Necro/Poison and that single target healing was a full time job in itself. So much fuss I've rerolled him as Demons/Thermal now.

[Post your best costume designs here!]

My main, The TK Cavalier. Or Patriotic Hero 187 since there's loads running around. 🙃

 

 

I posted an old pic of him in this thread one or two years ago but these are much improved imo.

[Do you give unsolicited advice?]

I wouldn't do it as there's a chance it would annoy people. Also you've no idea if that build is their main, solo or weird experimental build. So odd choices may not be odd to them.

 

I know having things pointed out would annoy me, if it happened repeatedly that is.
