DPS can be a good ruler for finding out how big something is, however, IMO - like something else men measure with a ruler having a big one doesnt really mean anything unless your looking for a modeling career. In COH more so then other games I have played individual DPS in much less meaningful. If my Fire/Storm controller drops Freezing Rain on a group while my friend the Fire/Kin uses Fulcrum Shift the blaster will get some really big numbers but is it really all the blasters DPS? If I am on my FF/Dark defender I have almost no personal DPS does that make me useless? I am not against checking personal DPS or even discussing it among friend, using it to tweak a build or refine an idea, like the other thing above experience has shown me once your in a group situation personal measurements are nothing more then a novelty or something to brag about if you have nothing better to bring up. Play style, fight/area specifics, AOE vs Single Target, solo, small group, big group, trash mobs, boss/av -- too many variables. Admittedly just my thoughts and oppinions - this coming from someone who has heavily optimized builds in multiple games (WOW, POE, COH, too many to remember). In closing a memory from my WOW past. Back when Burning Crusades was shiny and new I was in an awesome guild called 'Tempting Fate' and like many other guilds we raided Karazhan for a time. I played an undead Frost Mage whose rival on the DPS charts was a Fire Mage. As we would battle our way through the 'trash' mobs to get to the boss fights the Fire mage would get way ahead on the damage meter. She was awesome at blowing up spawns and quickly. Once we would get the Boss fight every single time I would pass her by the end of the fight. Not because I better AOE - I didnt, or better single target, but because at the time the Frost build had more tools more managing cooldowns and was far more efficient with mana. When the fire spec would run out of gas the frost spec could keep going and going. DPS is fine and dandy but it is just one consideration among many.

What I am seeing here is a question: When someone is auctioned (banned, suspended, warned) should the whole context and conversation be looked at? On a case by case basis, if appropriate should it be determined the actioned individual was deliberately goaded, harassed, or 'tricked' the person(s) who instigated and caused the behavior also be banned, suspended, warned, and share the same 'reward' for the offensive/inappropriate/puerile/obscene behavior. Thinking this way I cant see why we would not want to whole situations looked at, I am however, curious what other viewpoints might be?

Joint Red/Blue TF's (more) Quests with its own overarching story line. A mix of old and new mobs befitting its red/blue status. lvl 50+ content The zone is (IMO) very pretty and nicely built yet at the same time soulless due to the lack of NPCs and content. Did I say some red/blue (/gold) content? Maybe across all levels. More Rogue/Vigilante content.

Cool - thanks

Is there a way to change the UI/Windows scale across all characters at once? I set the resolution super low trying to get around a bug and it messed up the scaling and window location on all my characters. Is there a way to set or apply a default across the board?

Lot of work I know - I would love to see animations for each origin. Casting, vs using tech, vs mutant powers etc.

Hi My Name is Zep and I am an ALT-O=Holic! At 4k when I wish the change permissions for base storage the pop-up panel is mal formed and unusable. Needing to email items to myself, one at a time, to store/use is painful. Tried setting the resolution down - all that accomplished was to blow up the size of all in game UI elements so they were over-lapping making a big mess to fix and still could not get to the controls to up permissions for my alts.

I use it on my Elec/Elec Stalker as his single target melee attacks take sleep enhancers. Chance to get HP back every punch - or so it was. Fortunately the new End Mod set has the same thing. I can see why an aoe would be problematic. Good thing there are no AOE end mod powers....

Good idea - Sadly not anywhere on my tray nor is it stored in the market. I picked up a replacement easy enough -- how I discovered the unique issue -- disappearing IOs isnt a good thing.

Thanks for the info btw !

Wonder where my second one went..... I logged in and did a TF -- it it went to my tray I prob sold it with the rest of the junk not realizing. Foo.

Did this set get changed while I wasnt looking? I used to have 2 powers slotted and now have an empty socket where one of them was... The remaining one now says unique. It isnt marked as unique on paragon wiki so this must be a recent change. Where is my missing IO? Not that 1mil inf is a huge deal to replace. I can replace it with Power Transfer Chance to heal, still I'd like to understand. Thanks

All good ideas - thank you!

At my job we are, like many, now working from home. Our video conferencing has a back drop feature - we have been challenged to come up with some good ones. Any thoughts or suggestions when/where to grab some? Next meeting is tomorrow. Any thoughts or suggestions where to take some good scenery only screen shots? Thanks

That did the trick.

If there is a new or specific manifest could someone post it?

I have exited the game/launcher several times and even rebooted. The launcher seems like it is updating... My default is x64 I have also tried x32. Some secret magic needed to force an update? Thanks,

I have a Fire/Storm I am re-leveling - never quite got him to 50 on live and slowly getting there again. It is a nifty combo with a nice feel to it. Not everything is about perfect numbers. Rain of Fire plus Freezing Rain is awesome. Add Snow Storm and some other AOE any just about anything melts while it just stands there. Hurricain for deference plus tornado, thunderclap, lightning storm and awesomeness - specially with LS slotted with Decimation I think it is to give the hold proc for that extra little bit of safety.

On further thought I hope NCSoft remembers all the hate they got last time they shut down COH. Do they understand allowing Homecoming has lessened this to some degree?

Can one export his characters yet for when one will need to set up his home server?

I wonder at the hew and cry should some ebil-hacker get into the character files and randomize the order of everyone's IOs? Wouldnt affect game play at all - well directly, certainly a lot of characters would be marching to TV to get a respec. 🙂 I have my own OCDisms. Less so slotting IOs -- for SO/Generic IO I tend to go Acc/Dam/recharge etc in a specific order that is easier for me to read quickly for IO sets I havnt caught myself worrying about it. I'll have to look - it is kinda like trying to see the color of my own eye without a mirror.. Oh fine now I have to go look. Thanks ppl. 🙂 Slotting abilities on my action bars, well, that's another story....

Just barely #1 as of my vote. LETS KEEP IT THIS WAY PEOPLE.... Some other really good one on the list. Never played Runescape... any good (in an inferior to COH) kind of way?

Fly is my favorite followed by Teleport then Super Speed. On live my Fire/Fire blaster had SS/SJ I dont usually double up on movement but was getting hasten, Combat Jumping, and Acrobatics anyways. My live Fire/Kin controller technically didnt have a travel power -- technically, Siphon Speed and Inertial Reduction accomplish the same thing as SJ. Fly is nice for moving around zones, as others have said go up then straight to your target. Fly is also really nice in missions. Super speed does nice moving around corridors too, SJ and TP just are not as useful in constricted space.

I plat at 4k on a 56" monitor (TV). The UI is scale-able. The biggest issues with 4k/higher resolutions have been fixed by our awesome programmers. They have SCOREd quite the coup. You do need a fairly hefty GPU to get 4k with all the bells and whistles to give a decent frame rate.
