  1. Dang, I wanted to pay my account fees this month.... 😛
  2. I'd say overall the changes are good in relation to blaster epics. One thing I've been hoping for to change is Swapping out rise of the phoenix for Rising phoenix , like the one given to brutes. I'd much rather take that then some of my power choices. I guess not only blasters, but any class that has rise of the phoenix. That is my input. lol
  3. I guess a silver lining is The winter IOs will drop in price. less people needing fire def and resist. 😄
  4. I think the concept is cool, guess we'll see how useful it is in the actual game, don't see a ton of control sets in general, but more options, most of the time is a plus.
  5. Seems Homecoming has also gone the way of live and the other servers. Really is a sad day, mixing in a bunch of nice qol stuff and even some new things to cover some really bad stuff. The only reason I played on this server is cause they supported playing how you wanted with the option to play the other content if you had the time and motivation to. The boldened ones are the reason I stopped playing live, and avoid the other CoH options. I get that the original idea of AE was to create your own content and not exploit the game, and I feel it's done that wonderfully. Just because people have found a way to stream line and make the game as easy as possible, doesn't mean they are exploiting it. What of the people who actually make really cool and good AE content for the sake of constructing a story for their favorite toon? Well they just play out their toons history for fun now? That only works a few times before you feel like your wasting your time, But I digress. I suppose this had to happen sometime, when looking at the numbers I'm sure it seems most people do AE at some point for ease of use and time constrains and for the peeps that like to do nothing but grind out the same content over and over again cause they like to do it and get rewarded for their time, such as myself, will have to change. The other content is fun and all, but most days I just like to log on, run a few solo AE farms, maybe get a new toon to 50, build up a small team to help them with their current projects. Sometimes even run a TF or SF if I'm feeling in the mood, some days even I just run all tfs in a row for the merits. Incarnate trials are long require someone who one is good at instructing and leading, can build up a large number of people to run those things. There are fewer people that can do that than you think. Guess I'll put my build crafting on hold for now, and just log on periodontally play my fun toons when I get the CoH itch. Since my favorite toons are all 50 no chance of them getting deleted. tl:dr Overall these changes will change what AE is and not for the better, it'll go the way of live, became another part of the game that sees little to no activity, I was there at the end, those some 3000 years ago. (LotR ref.) As I've always said, there are levels of survival I'm willing to accept. You may change the farming normal but not totally get rid of it. The game will still be fun to play with my favorite toons, so I guess I'll just wreak face less as often. Cheers - Signed Steam
  6. First of all, great choice! you will not regret. Second, while that build works, I personally believe mine is better. With my main, (water/fire blaster) I can do any content, fire farm, and even solo tfs if I want. Now this requires you to use the Defense Amp from the P2W vendor, you should be using anyway for the mez pro, so you'll have to farm on the regular, you can literally make 7 mill in 5 minutes or less on any of the metoer maps. Here's my build: I'm sure you'll have questions, so if you do, just message me in pms. I can also try to check the forums when I remember, I don't get on much. I play on excelsior on the toon named Steam InGen. if you want, you can see the build in action.
  7. This is the one, cheers mate. Any questions just message me.
  8. Find it hard to believe you've only got a few posts! To be honest, I almost exclusively play my water/fire blaster now. I'm talking any content, not only tfs, mishes, trials, or fire farms..(Yes fire farms.) This setup has everything I need to an effective blaster. ranged for pickin off runaways, damage mitigation with knock down, slows, and Hot Feet's fear component. I even have bonfire for it's knockdown, well after I put sudden acceleration in. but I digress. Now I know what your thinkin, what does all that have to do with burn...? I do a ton of solo'in and team play. Solo'in it's 100% worth it, it's damage is unmatched. Let's look at it with the latest mids build. So let's look at a couple of powers actually. First Burn at damage cap, does 662 damage to 6 targets over 10 secs. The next power is Whirlpool with 715 dmage at DCap over 15 secs, and finally Bonfire does 642 over 45 to 16 targets I think. With all three of those powers that is a serious amount of damage. Right for soloing for sure. Out of all of them, Burn is by far the best out of all of those powers. If you want to think about this in terms of team play next, this is about how it plays out for me most the time. Run with a full team, usually a tank or brute for taunting, so I let them do their thing, I run in either hit my Nuke or burn,(Most damaging attacks. also depends on group make up. lots of things really.) rinse and repeat. When it comes to AVs it's actually one of the powers I use in my attack chain. Hit build up and tidal, burn, and blast! I realize it's a play style change to be sure, but things will go so much faster if you do, I would even say it's most likely like night and day. Up to you in the end, but I think it's worth a slot at least to try it out, worst comes to worst, respec back or maybe even use your second build to test it out. /e shrug
  9. I have a strong disagreement with this statement. I feel attacked! 😮 I'll have my mission and submission in soon (TM).
  10. Paid my two months sub, keep up the great work in this area!
  11. Holy, your right... XD Nah, this is my main account... XD I guess maybe I'll put (I'm kidding) as a p.s. XD
  12. Now who isn't being lite-hearted. XD I guess my sarcasm is getting so strong people can't tell I'm not being serious.... The dead give away should have been me on the forums wasting time myself. Irony. You really think I care what people do with their time? I'm busy playing the game and enjoying having the game back, you can keep your drama stage. 😄
  13. Sad to see zero changes to the set in page 2, lots of good feedback in the thread, and no balancing or improvement came to the set? Looking to be dead set on arrival. I'd imagine some peeps will try it out, then shelf it not being their thing. Just the post above me has a lot of good feeedback.
  14. I'm 100% on board with this change and love the new launcher. Keep up the great work.
  15. Indeed, and wasting time like this isn't healthy. 😛
