I am happy with default. Best for me rate. I like doing stories and the like.

Been so long I cant tell. I know at first there was a lot of bonus XP -- is that still going on? Is it possible to play at original XP rates if we are not already? Thanks, -Zep

They only spawn for groups that dont have a Quantum model. Forget which those are off the top of my head. Cysts I have wondered myself.

I've seen 5th and Council fighting in IP and SC. Not like back in issue 3 or whatever it was when the council overthrew the 5th.

I have played wow in the last year, as well as vanilla, BC, LK, and a smattering of the others. WOW is just plain bigger and has more areas and things to do. Has much more quests and stories. Tonnes of raids and instances. COH has (IMO) largely better stories and the vastly superior skill system. I hate the current wow skill/class system with almost as much energy as certain former COH Publishers. (If your reading this you can get some hate removed by playing nice with the COH community now). Both are fine games. It is like comparing Apple Juice to power aid. You drink both - they have very different markets and reasons to drink them.

Char back would be nice. Getting all my original costumes back I'd be pretty happy about.

Could be an internet issue as you are being handed from one server to another. I had some trouble getting into Outbreak when I first started playing that resolved itself. Try a reboot, run a couple speed tests to make sure your ISP is behaving.

AVs are not all that hard to immob as a rule. Whats the chance of Lightning Storm being un-nerfed I wonder?

I had a respec recipe drop last week. Too bad they are not worth much anymore.

If that was never changed then I guess it doesn't really matter.

Set windows scaling to 100% or override scaling in the score app and the launcher.

It isnt purely visual. When exemplared or on an ORO mission the order of the enhancers matters. Something to keep in mind when respecing.

Adam used to have no AV hold protection - has that changed?

I soloed to 50 on a controller in time to play a PB when they launched in issue 3. Any class can solo. Some are just easier then others - well, no, solo as a controller is extremely easy -- some just take longer then others. With all the balance changes, defender solo buffs etc, play what you want. Almost all content in the game - except task forces and raids are able to be soloed.

Unless it is a unique IO limited to one copy only the general rule is you may benefit from up to 5 of the same set. (for set bonuses - power bonuses like damage/accuracy etc no limit). Good resource: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Invention_Origin_Enhancements

I was just going to post about FBZ too.

Has that changed? I remember Light Form locking me out of Nova, Dwarf on live.

Now that I am 39 and have my basic powers (Fire/storm) MUHAHAHAHAHAHA..... Getting into a smaller space, hallway in a warehouse or office building, dead end cave, sometimes even a bigger spaces, and have 10+ mobs in the air bouncing off the floor, walls, ceiling, and objects in the game world like popcorn because I have unleashed, flashfire, tornado, lightning storm, and bonfire.... with friends and/or in a large space I of course use firecages to keep things contained, by myself (or with a small number of ranged friends) I let lose and use what can only be called CHAOS control as I laugh maniacally and my imps run around taking tasty bites out of all those nasty bad guys..... *IF* and I mean only *IF* things look like something might be able to actually stand upon its feet and think about starting an attack I can always use Gale - though for the most part it really blows. With the Immob changes Fire cages + Gale is actually pretty nifty..... it does KD instead of doing nothing with the immob now. Can keep knocking a group over if they are being a problem.

It would be nice if both ESC and the Scroll wheel were enabled throughout the game's interface. The map in particular would love to have scroll wheel based size adjustments.

I have it in Tactics on a controller and it does fire. Maybe 1-2/minute - the icon only shows for about 5 seconds so you really have to look for it.

Thanks for the information. How does one make a purple base? Just invite red alts?

Either play in windowed mode and move the window -or- go to the monitors control panel and make monitor 3 the default monitor. Full screen games always play on the default.

Low to mid level mission AV's? Not Task Force AV's? Fire/Storm -- have done it particularly the Skull ones in Kings Row. No temp powers or pets.

I don't think that is their job though. If an AoE Cone's job is not to do AoE, then what is it's Job? Why should I be spending a power choice and slots on an AoE Cone that is not really for AoE? Well it depends on the cone. The melee cones with a large 180degree radius are clearly intended for AoE damage but the ones with narrow cones (19, 30 or 45 degrees) are more like single target attacks that can occasionally hit a second target. They generally have their damage balanced closer to a single target attack than an AoE attack. In the Scrapper set the only Melee Cone with a 180 was Axe's Pendulum, there are one each at 130 in Broadsword and Katana. Something to note is even at the larger arc they are still set to 5 max, just like every other short melee cone. As for damage lets look at Dark. Smite Shadow Maul DPA 13.95 7.2 Act .97 3.07 Rech 6.00 8.00 End 6.86 8.53 So if SM is not made for AoE, then what is it made for, because it sure as hells does not compare to Smite for single target. Until someone brings some facts to this argument, instead of opinion, I will continue to believe that an AoE Cone's job is to do AoE, just like in every other RPG I have played. And if AoE Cones are consistently not doing AoE then they are broken, and need fixing. You know Shadow Maul is a DOT, right? How many times does it do that damage? Hero Designer shows Smite at 12.64 and shadow maul at 13.13 at base levels.
