Zep

I have a 1080 ti with two 4k monitors and frequently click out to the other window. (knock upon wood). What video driver version are you running? How are the monitors connected? (HDMI, DVI, DP - is any kind of converter in use) Crashing while zoning is often a network issue. If you have your Task Manager open on the other monitor on Performance - better yet then open the resource monitor - and watch the ethernet/wifi and see if the connection stalls or stops.

It is not the cost of the IO - it is the lost slot to the IO your not putting something "Better" in. My fire/storm could put in 4 w/o thinking of the patron/mastery/reg pools.

Good job!

Anyone have a list of IO's that proc? Not the entire IO list, just the Procs? Thanks

Zepher Firestorm - my Fire-Storm controller (the name works on multiple levels) has Imps named - Larry, Curly, Moe and that is a very exact way to describe their behavior.

I use it for damage. Does that mean slotting a PBAOE damage set is best? Hot Feet doesn't need Recharge, while most PBAoE sets bring recharge. I think it's best to Frankenslot it, say 2x Acc/Dam/End, 1 Acc/Dam, 1 Dam/End as a start. Then the last 1-2 slots for whatever you need, possibly including Fury of the Gladiator's -Res IO. The PPM calculator says that the last one should net about 3.4% -Res on the average, and getting a 3% damage increase for one slot is worth it. Although the thread linked above suggests that PPMs in toggles aren't working as listed. I would put in a little recharge myself if it doesnt detract from something else. As an offensive power getting mez'd will toggle it off. The 10 second (I forget the exact number) it takes to come back online before you can toggle it to active can seem like forever if your pre-32 or your pets are down. For my Fire/Storm is it can do serious damage as I am in pbaoe range already for Cinders and thunder clap. Putting a little slow in can both help protect you and keep them in the burn longer.

That is true -- if you were using a buff like Speed Boost it would be giving the +10 end to the target not you. Stamina targets you.

Routing out on the internet can be weird. Each packet can take a unique path. Open the task manager if your on windows, click on Performance and check your connection speed in real time by clicking on Ethernet/wifi as needed. If your on wifi your neighbor using the microwave and any number of other things could be the cause.

What do you want Hotfeet to do for you? Is it a primary damage source? Is it protection with the slow and 'fear' keeping ground units away? Do you use it just to mule IOs without turning it on? Or a mix? Once you have ideas on that the next step should be easier.

I have run across a small number of highly vocal, to use current idiom 'TOXIC' people. In game and in the forums. I just posted my thoughts on it in another thread. Even though COH is old at the moment it is also new. My experience is the new bright shiny game always attracts a certain competitive (in a specific way), vocal, it's all about me winning, crowd that have to be the first to max level and geared up to 'beat' the game and that are happy to step on whoever to get what they want. It seems like, based on other games and communities, this minority moves on in 60-120 days. I've been waiting for the rage-quit emails to begin as they seem to be part of the cycle.

I remember this happening on live a few times. For me it was a driver issue - reinstalling chipset and other drivers from scratch could help -- or it could be you have a different issue. COH is from before a lot of optimizations entered the DX/OGL world. Further NV/AMD/Intel are not supporting it so no new driver optimizations. The game makes your computer run hot and laptops are more susceptible to overheating. I dont suppose you have an IR camera or meter? Turning down FX settings might help cool things down -if- it is a heat problem.

Running into Trolls in COH is somehow worse then elsewhere - IMO - I am guessing due to the community otherwise being so polite and respectful the few counter examples stand out like red paint on pure white snow or sudden unexpected dissonance during a live classical concert. Lets keep in mind this was presented as something to think about and a possible idea. Not as "DO IT NOW." The need some people have to go around calling other peoples thoughts and ideas dumb (presumable due to low self esteem or some other iniquity) has always been hard for me to understand. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=%2Fjranger Lets all try and respect diversity of view points and respect each other. Practical, feasible, or not, we should respect each others ideas and personal dignity.

No - it wouldnt. Different versions of some zones - yes, that is the assets and art. The game engine would be exactly the same.

Man, you have way better dreams than I do. I dreamt last night that a giant spider tried to eat my face. Your supposed to be spending your time watching me to playing with spiders.

I mod the UI on a per alt basis as well. With everything UI wise saved to my install folder I dont see a prob doing this as a per character thing.

Idea - lets create some differing timelines on our shards.... Example would be some people miss Galaxy City, so we pick one server and put it to a state where the Meteor/Invasion did not happen. Same rules/powers/everything else. Some timelines show Atlas Destroyed so create a shard - maybe same as above with a destroyed Atlas and Galaxy taking it's place. Create a shard with no Council -- the coup never happened (or hasnt happened yet). With 5 servers of course we would likely need 2-3 'Main' timelines limiting what we could do, still it would be very in Comic Book concepts to have alternate dimensions with similar but different Paragon Cities. It would be really neat but very far off in terms of work if Pretoria could be flushed out to have content to a higher level and also be it's own shard. Now for part 2. With all these shards expand Portal Corp and allow characters to move freely between. After a log out/off reset to the home server (unless a sever move token is used). This would allow cross server play. The Secret World does something like this already. Of course doing this would cost money and time to flesh out and build. If things with NCS are every fixed it would be awesome (IMO). Maybe even do a shard where Redside is in the city and Blue on the Isles -- but that would carry a ton of work fixing the quest lines.

Some of the low cost VPNs are not too bad from what I have read. https://www.top10vpn.com/best-vpn-for-gaming/?bsid=c33se1kw032&gclid=CjwKCAjw98rpBRAuEiwALmo-ylqef0rx_62ksUG2IUQrVeBC_yMVn6_9HvWr_ZQoSsFnLuTaP-Vy6xoCu4MQAvD_BwE I have no personal experience with any of them.

That we get updates and patches at all is a huge gift.

IMO - 3 Nova scaled to the same power level as the minions in other sets 2 Dwarf scaled the same and the lieutenants 1 Kheld Scrapper for the boss With both upgrades give them the basic powers. IE 4 (not 5) blasts for the nova with appropriate to hit and damage scaling. At char creation choose BP or 'Shade. Anyhow my thought on it......

I managed to completely end drain an EB using my Elec/Elec Stalker. Just using Power Sink a couple times plus hitting it a lot. My Elec/Elec Dominator is amazing at drawing the end out of things.

How does one do this event? I am not familiar with it.... Sounds kinda like the Theater in Kara (from WOW).

I see this as being more and more common at work, in social groups etc.

Lets not forget that Super Speed is capped where it is based on limitations of the engine as it existed on live. I think fly should stay where it is and SS increased.

I'd like to have the Quantum Array weapon available.

Annoying as it is and it is - it has the feel and flair of truth and realism to it. Would Lois and Jimmy be able to follow Harry Potter wearing his invisibility cloak safely to the mission door? I suppose not everyone cares for the RP aspects and I can understand that. Myself I say it is 'fair' of course the NPC your leading that keeps losing site of you can jump, run, and take a fall better then the best Olympic Athlete ever. Guess everyone in Paragon has a little Hero in them.
