I have an Incarnate elec/fire sentinel, which was fine before. Not the most survivable of my sentinels but did decent enough damage. I haven't played it since the last page though, so not sure how it interacts with the revamp to elec blast, so I may need to test and Respec.

Farming what? S/L/F/C/E/N/T/P? Merits? XP? Tears? Potatoes, legumes, tomatoes, corn, and soy beans?

Fixed it for you.

Hell I had just turned 20 playing Beta back in 2004. The crazy thing is I hit 50 at a cyber cafe in Kuwait as we were transitioning into theatre. Once we went north there was no more internet for about 6 months when a bunch of us paid $4k for a satellite connection to split from the Iraqi man that got clearance to sell bootleg DVDs on our FOB. Playing CoH.over there was like trying to download porn in the mid 90's, a slideshow.

I do remember your one drunken bender on the old school forums from post 11,500-14,000 where you literally just kept rambling on about chicken nuggets and tater tots and which one would win if the two went to war and then made up individual identities for your chicken nuggets and tater tots while they tried to appease their god by sacrificing the weakest members of their tribes first.

I have a defender with provoke for that very reason. I still have people look at me like I'm crazy when I'm tanking +4 rommy on it.

I would drag the body to Ourosboro and have Mender Silos try and check the DNA on your Lord Nemesis to see if you get a match, only then you'd know for sure.

I still spell the word okay, not as "ok"; I'm not trying to abbreviate the state of Oklahoma. This I concur, and advanced degrees shall be ceremoniously striped. Need everyone with a doctorate (especially including juris doctorates) [as who like a lawyer?], and line up with your degrees for a brief interro... inspection by the Grammar Gestapo. Anyone with a Masters be warned your inspection is next week...

I have a Claws/EA Brute and it works out pretty damn well. You won't be disappointed if you go that route.

I have one of those as well. I like the multiple damage auras. And like you said it's not always about being high unstoppable, sometimes a theme catches you. I came up with an origin where I had this high school track athlete that comes home to find his parents dead in a murder suicide due to one finding out the other was cheating. The parents were biochemists and the kid being wrecked with anguish injects himself with a syringe containing a compound that his parents were working on hoping it would actually kill himself...But it gave him powers. It was essentially my first foray into the experimentation pool. That said make any combo you can because they can all have interesting uses.

The pairing hasn't been mentioned but I really enjoy my proc bomb Perma Soul Drain DM/Bio Scrapper. It hits hard with saturated Soul Drain and it's -res aura. I'm kinda curious on the numbers how that stacks up with dark/shield with saturated AAO. Im sure the dark/shield probably has bigger damage values, but the actual damage done is probably a bit closer after factoring in the -res.

I am in agreement on the condition that this request is expanded to any moving vehicle. Long have I wanted to surf the City atop the Monorail.

As the union rep for the Poison Powerset, we in the union have come to a unanimous decision regarding what we think seems pragmatic to do...add the -Regen to Poison Trap.

Yeah @Six-Sixis right about recent price listings, they can be a trap to make people bid higher than what inventory is listed for.

Well you could read a guide on them or watch a youtube video of them to get the gist before you try some of them. some of them have no ridiculous mechanics and are pretty easy. otherwise a bit of research can't hurt you and will help you tackle them as you advance to them.

It's not a viable property to go commercial ever again as the source code has leaked out to the public. I'd rather not play whack a mole with cease and desist letters and potential legal action for something that can be sprung up for realistically fairly cheaply. Case in point I've had 25 ppl on my own private server and I could of probably had more I just ran out of people that I wanted to invite for my test launch. And since everyone and their mothers have access to the binaries no company could ever really make a substantial profit off this game as it is. That said the IP could be developed into a Full Length Feature Film and do fairly well. We have a rough plot line, overcome with destruction by invasion the Freedom Phalanx knocks on my door and begs for me to end the invasion single handedly while all the other players watch on in awe. Otherwise a limited Series on Netflix could spur CoX2, and tie in with comics again and potential toys. Realistically I don't see anything happening with the IP.

I took Thugs/Time to a crazy point in recharge, where I envisioned a world with Perma Gangwar. That world is tough to get too but can be done, I've been there and the grass is really green.

Thanks I suppose. Now they'll never see me coming.

Here I am essentially the Devil with my Forum Rep of 666, just looking through the chill frosted glass of the bar all these cartel members are at, waiting for when they leave so I can mug them and take their wheels to the nearest chop shop.

Well you probably have more understanding of it than I do. My undergrad was in Theatre & Humanities, and grad was in Public Admin. So it's been little old me learning as I go.

Probably the easiest way to do it is have a pop-up that links to the Character's Superhero Registration Card that already displays Influence, since there is existing code in the character creator to have a mouse click pop-up. Then again may greater minds prevail as I've looked at the code for my own private server and only made minor tweaks to some powers and such to test out some scenarios for how I might rebalance potential powers in my own pocket universe where I am God. But alas, I'm simply a public servant, blacksmith, and former soldier by trade so I'm sure there is someone out there that actually knows what they are doing.

Would be nice I suppose, but probably difficult to code without an actual API to track our characters like what's available in Eve Online. As such though since it's not available in CoX, I use a self made spreadsheet (which I also track character level, which account it's on, AT and Powersets, stat boosting accolades, IO build progression and Incarnate progression -maybe I go a little over the top).

I'm cool with that if I can be the mission designer. Spoiler Alert my mission would make Relentless Dr. Aeon look like a toddler play date.

Oh you've played with me and my menagerie of 117 fully IO'd incarnates (I started in Beta, and working to catching up to the 382 lvl 50's I had through the live servers over the years). More to the actual thread, 20 million had me laughing. I make that selling 1 purple IO. Personally I don't think it's a great idea to have an instant 50, but if they did make it at least 1 billion influence.

I'm usually not one for matching elemental powersets, but my god Stone Melee and Stone Armor work together so damn well. Over the course of this past week I've been gracing Everlasting my my stone/stone stalker and turning heads as I join pug teams (yeah I know it's okay I'm vaccinated from pugs). Softcapped S/L/E/N/P Defense I have my F/C res at ~68%, and my toxic at 58%. I could probably push it a bit further but I haven't had the need. Perma Hasten, Capped HP at 2088, regenerating ~38.33 HP/s and still have Geode as an oh shit/let's stack Brimstone. The crazy thing is that most stalker will put the ATO chance to hide in AS. On Stone Melee, I've discovered that is dead wrong, put it in Fault, as it procs based on density around the target then, I also have it slotted with kb to kd, -res, and more damage procs. So it works very reliably. Also because there's a damage component in it it helps to proc your chance to reset buildup as well. Yes you're right as you sit there thinking about the ramifications there, I have popped guassian powered buildup, critcal tremored a group, faulted (back into hide, and buildup is reset), only to rinse and repeat until the crap is dead. And with all the knockdown, there's tons of added mitigation. Otherwise I have shadow meld as a means of padding my defense in high Defense Debuff situations, and have Geode still as a safety net. Both sets were really well designed, and they both work amazingly together.
