  1. I didn't even know it was available as an ancillary. I was comparing a primary with two effects to a secondary with one effect.
  2. So, I would humbly suggest that World of Confusion needs a review... A Mag 2 Confuse that last 1.5 seconds? As near as I can tell, it's primary purpose is to drain End but not affect enemies. I have a character with a Slow power which as a side effect may cause confusion and that Slow power is much more effective at causing confusion than this Confuse power. I can't help but feel that something was overlooked, or that some kind of error was made during development. Right now it's only slightly more useful than the snowball temp power.
  3. Thanks for the responses. I somehow always fail to remember that there are specific forums for the ATs and go to the general one.
  4. I feel as though I am missing something here, or maybe this power is just broken, but World of Confusion (in Mental Manipulation) has the following description: " This toggle power allows you to cause psionic damage and cause confusion within a group of foes, creating chaos. The chance of confusing an enemy is lower than then chance of damaging them, and it may take multiple hits to affect stronger opponents. All affected foes within the area will turn and attack each other, ignoring all heroes. You will not receive any Experience Points for foes defeated by Confused enemies." Now, that sounds like a pretty cool power... Foes get close to you, then turn on each other. But the power cases confusion for a whopping 1 second. With enhancements you can get it to about 3 or 4. This isn't even an exaggeration. Foes will get confused, turn to their ally, pull out their gun... then turn and attack me because it's worn off already. At best, it causes them to pause slightly before attacking me. So I am wondering if this has ever been addressed or if this is someone's idea of a useful power?
  5. I have a quick question about Sentinels. I don't usually play them (I have 1 out of my 55 characters) so I am not sure exactly how Opportunity works. Usually when I build up enough opportunity for it to trigger, it ends up being the final hit on an opponent. So if I trigger offensive opportunity just in time to defeat one guy, will it have any effect on the rest of the group I am fighting, or will any bonus vanish immediately with the guy on whom it triggered?
  6. So, I haven't really played much recently due to work and home issues, but I logged in tonight and figured I would do some trick or treating. I don't remember there being any special requirements in the past, but I did notice in the notes for this year that we should go to a "level appropriate zone." I have done so, but every door I click just says "You Cannot Enter." Is there something different this year?
  7. I started an Electrical Blast/ Mental Manipulation Blaster recently and just picked up the World of Confusion power... If anyone else is using it, I am wondering if it gets better? It seemed like a cool idea for a power but at the moment, it rarely causes confusion and when it does, it seems to have a duration of 1 second. Enemies become confused, turn to look at other enemies as if they are going to attack, then snap out of it and attack me. So as best as I can tell, it basically serves just to delay their attack for 1 or 2 seconds.
  8. ... so can someone tell me what it represents when a blue circle appears around the button for Tesla Cage? I can't seem to find an explanation.
  9. Sister Valeria made me wonder about this again last night as I tried the new missions. It's certainly nothing new, but the habit of NPC companions to try and herd the entire map is really frustrating at times. "Ooh, I think I'll attack this guy right beside me... once. Then I'll run into the next room and attack a few guys and bring them back here... Then I'll run away to attack that guy 500 yards away..." Have they ever said if they are looking for a way to fix this, or do I just continue to let these bozos die before starting the mission without their "help?"
  10. I thought this was already active. Sigh. I have been logging characters in/ out daily for months for no reason.
  11. So, I was doing a mission with Crow in Praetoria and one objective was to save Widow Dahlia, about whom Crow had said "I think I love this woman..." When we managed to save Dahlia, however, "this woman" was a man. Poor Crow is a bit confused by the addition of male Widows it seems.
  12. I'm not sure how to add the command switch, but I'll try to look it up. The other stuff I can adjust. Thanks.
  13. So, we picked up a laptop for my son to use for school work and some other tasks and I wanted to see how well it could handle CoH. As it turned out, it couldn't handle it well at all. I didn't fiddle with the advanced settings, but left it on "Recommended". Standing still, everything looked pretty good. Moving? Super laggy and jerky. I turned it down to "Performance," which was only marginally better. FInally put it on minimum and it wasn't bad, but looked like crap. I had read a few reviews before picking it up, a few of which mentioned that the reviewers were using it for gaming. One even mentioned playing RDR2 on it, which seemed highly unlikely to me, but maybe with everything turned all the way down it's possible. Anyhow, i am far from being the most tech-savvy guy, but it seems to me that the game should run better than it did, particularly since it runs reasonably well on an old Asus Transformer Book that was bought about 6 years ago. Maybe I just need to play with the settings? If anyone could take a look and give some thoughts on whether it's worth trying to get it running on this system, I'd appreciate it. Here are the specs: 3.0 GHz Intel Core i3-1115G4 processor 8 GB DDR4 memory 512 GB SSD storage 15.6" FHD screen, 1920 x 1080 resolution Intel UHD Graphics
  14. Not on this character. Other characters have intentionally confused them, which is pretty useful, but this character can't. It just sort of happens on its own, from what I can see.
  15. I have noticed that on a semi-regular basis, I have Sky Raider forcefield generators switching allegiance and deciding to shield me. This certainly isn't a problem for me, but I am wondering if I am somehow causing it to happen without knowing it, or if it's just an odd bug? Id does more than just follow me. It actively shields me.
  16. I was so happy when i read this, thinking finally my character may be playable again. I'm a little disappointed, though. I thought this would be really helpful, but it only seems to fire about once in every 10+ uses, and then it gives me about 20% or so of my End bar.
  17. I would like to see weapons added as Power Pools, so that instead of only having punches and kicks (Fighting Pool), we could have a Melee Pool (your choice of melee weapon) or a Ranged Attack pool (Handgun, Shuriken, whatever). It would help with concept characters and wouldn't require a full powerset to be developed. I have an AR/ Ninja Training Blaster who makes pretty regular use of his katana and I would love for him to have more than 3 relatively slow attacks, in the same way that my Psychic Blast/ Martial Combat Blaster is actually one of my favourite "Scrappers," using melee attacks a good 75% of the time, if not more. In fact, I really think developing power pools is a good way forward, allowing a lot of customization with (presumably) less work due to not being full sets.
  18. That's interesting... I never knew it wasn't. Did you find out by discussing with teammates which objects you were summoning?
  19. I don't know if it's just me, but when using super jump, I won't change direction mid-air unless I have a concept to explain it. For example, I have a character who (in my mind) has a device that launches him into the air and then he uses his cape to glide/ direct himself. Other characters can only go in a straight line and will only change direction once they land.
  20. I always have at least the beginnings of a bio when I create the character. For me, the story matters as much as the powers and costume. I need all three for a character to work. If a character reaches level 10 without a bio, I will probably either park them until I have one, or delete them.
  21. I remember when the game launched and we had nipples.... I always thought it would be interesting to be able to use our powers in different ways, other than combat. Let my super strength guy break down a wall that no one else can. Let me fly up and save a cat from a tree. Let me use my psychic powers to calm an angry crowd. Etc.
