Six-Six

I don't play Sonic because the sound effects of the sigh right before each power activation don't appeal to me. On the other hand, Energy Blast's "pew-pew-pew, Rah-ah-ah" once got on my nerves, but they're just so damn fun to play that it's grown on me. Meanwhile, I think Dual Pistols, which is my current favourite, could use a higher caliber SFX as it sounds like a 22. Also, a suppressor option would be nice. But now I'm just splitting hairs.

It would be a glorious way to die. 😃 #Monkeyme

Oh. So They're lying to us. The bastards! 😜 Thanks. I'll go back and revisit my builds now, make sure I'm getting what I paid for.

I have a question: Some attuned IOs say that they are only effective until level X, but when I check their stats or percentages, they're the same as IOs without that limit. E.G. the End Mod for Efficacy Adaptor, which has no limit, has an increase of 42.4% at level 50, while the Energy Manipulator (which only scales to level 20) also gives 42.4%. So why does it have the level ceiling at all?

Good Lord! Now I want to get Second Mutation. I've been missing out by just getting Inspiration. makemeamonkey... makemeamonkey... makemeamonkey... XD

Chatted with a bloke in Atlas park once. He had all of the speedsters as costume changes: Flash, Reverse Flash, Zoom, Black Flash, even Godspeed, I think. Fun bloke. Bought the sprint pack from p2w lady while I was there. Didn't get to ask him what his AT or power sets were. But he sure liked speedsters. I think his global is MarathonMan.

I've seen movies about this. One is Naked Assassins (?) I think, about three scantly clad Chinese or Japanese crew of attractive women who use this exact tactic. It wasn't a porn parody, nor even a B-movie, but a honestly serious effort. I don't recall the plot details, but I'm sure it was all right. They may have come out with a sequel or two. Another whose title escapes me was a male ninja or another form of oriental fighting machine that didn't want to be hampered down by clothing when he fights. This latter one was from Hollywood, if I'm not mistaken.

trip wires.

Sorry, noobishly noob query: So according to the chart, do I understand it correctly that it's better to slot WP's Quick Recovery with Perf Shifter proc, 2x 50 SOs, 2x 50 IOs (assuming I can only allot 5 slots and don't want to spend for Boosters)?

Yes, I've seen that. I figured he just conned blue so you can't attack him while he's monologuing. Never had him attack his own troops though. Edit: Just finished that story arc with an alt. Captain Castillo goes about his monologue (no one for him to kill, since everyone else is dead). We tangle, he dies. Heavy comes out. A "ghost" of Castillo helps me defeat the Heavy. No toon, just a blue reticle that manifests into a gun every now and then. It follows me around and takes shots at the heavy. I was too busy fighting the Heavy that I couldn't tell what damage, buff or debuff it was giving, but it helped non the less. I suppose Castillo isn't all that bad. 😃

I'd just like to mention that my CoH app from Launcher works again. After the 8/22 update, it would give me an error message (which I can't exactly recall) or just plain not do anything. I had to resort to firing up Island Rum and choosing Safe Mode. But out of habit, I accidentally clicked the Launcher icon and the game loaded fine. I'm quite certain it's still in Safe Mode or the old version, but I don't mind since it lets me play without any fuss. I'll just get out of everyone's hair and wait for the one-click updated Island Rum version to come out. Incidentally, I play on a vintage 2011 Mac Mini with El Capitan and a wonky keyboard and mouse. 😃 Would my machine even support Homecoming 64-bit?

As a general rule, whenever an IO says Unique, it's probably worth slotting somewhere.

I like fancy animations. So my favourites are Dual Pistols and Staff (with Energy Blast as a far third... because Knockback) for primaries. Secondaries, anything that will keep me alive long enough to enjoy the animations is good to go. I especially like Willpower and, surprisingly, Dark Armour on Sentinels. Trying out Super Reflexes at the moment, seems promising. I tried Ninjitsu and Ninja Training, which work very well with the Ninja Run from P2W lady, but found myself faceplanting too much. I guess I am partial to flying (and Hover gives a slottable defence).

No matter what anyone tells you here, what arithmetic or programming proof they may have, THE WIFE IS ALWAYS RIGHT! Go now and apologise... for anything... for everything... for existing. Enjoy the game. 😃

It's probably from the Frank & Stein corp. I heard they had a bit of success in both thunderstorms and biological fields.

I'm fairly new to the game. Fell in love with sentinels because of my play style. I solo a lot, early game I do guerrilla warfare: shoot and run away to lead them away to where I can handle them, repeat until it whittles down the mob. mid game, if you pay attention to your defences and resistance (as well as HP, regen, end and recovery), the sentinel pretty much holds his own. Yes they don't do much damage, but they can take a beating to keep on dealing damage. I think this goes for any primary you pick. Some secondaries are either toggle/click-management intensive or not as beefy as others within the sentinel AT. In fact in most of my sents, I don't even have to max out def and res or even slots, allowing me to max out slots on attacks, which sents desperately needs. at level 20-30, I can confidently go +1/+2 or even +2/+4. Late game and 50+, Sentinels are just beasts that can just stand there and take it. This is the fun part: run in - nuke - (skip running out) and just clean up whoever's left standing. Sometimes I even run around collecting two or three mobs to congregate around me before I nuke them twice or thrice with primary, Epic, and incarnate pbaoe's. One time, I went AFK, and a small mob ambushed me. I don't know how long they've been whacking at me, but they weren't making a dent. Sentinels are fun.

I think it's a bug. It's the same with Ninja Epic power pool. No swords/katana. From what I gather, it hasn't been resolved yet. And since the priority of the devs is getting the 64-bit stabilised for everyone, I suspect this is fairly low on the priority list. I'm sure they'll get to it sooner or later.

My favourite so far is Dual Pistols. Yes, I'm quite familiar with the popular comparison with Blasters and Corruptors version of DP. And it hasn't stopped me. I've tried pistols with Will power and it is a beast, especially with incarnates. I'm playing a couple of alts with pistols and Dark, which also seems promising enough to rival willpower; plus it opens a whole new avenue of thematic concepts. Just rolled a Super Reflexes one that's too low a level to tell, barely past the teens. I also experimented with Ninjitsu. Didn't like it very much, although I though DP would have synergised very well with it, especially with the Ninja themed Epic pool. For one thing, the animation was broken with the epic pool -- no katana. Turned around and tried a Blaster DP/Ninja Training. Found it too squishy and too many attacks for my feeble brain to manage. My second favourite is the Energy Blast/Rad which I rolled out primarily after reading Sunsette's post about it. I agree that it won't be competing for the best farmer with Spines/Fire, but it sure as hell is a tonne of fun to play. Knockback, knockback and more knockback. I keep this alt as my casual gaming toon. I've pretty much tried most of the others, but not to any great extent, at least not enough to judge them. But I will say that my least favourite is Sonic for the audio effects, Bio for the visual effects, and Beam rifle because it just feels slow. You'll notice a trend that I prioritise aesthetics over stats. Oh, and I mostly solo.

DP/WP Sentinel Alpha: Musculature Core Judgement: Mighty Core Interface: Paralytic T1/Diamagnetic Radial Lore: Vanguard T1 Destiny: Rebirth T1 Hybrid: Support Genome T1 Still kinda feeling my way through the incarnate system being fresh off my first level 50. My choices are made either thematically or regretfully. I would've liked to test drive most of the choices they offered, but incarnate salvage seems too limited to do so.

I think this is the way to go, sharing of builds which may or may not be the best, rather than a general guide for all. This also supports the MMO principle of playing nice with others. 😃

I don't think a single guide exists. Several factors go into a build, the most obvious one being your AT, and the biggest one being play style. You might be able to find "sample" builds from the AT-specific forums since they've narrowed down the topic to a point where you're all talking about the same power modifier. You'll see a lot of claims that theirs is the best build, but again, the best build is the one that works for you and your particular game play. I also don't believe in Mids or Pines (primarily because I don't have access to it). From my limited experience, I build per level range: my 1-20 is different from my 20-30, and so on. The builds are dictated by available slots, limited powers, low stats, and slottable IOs- I don't even slot anything in before 27 or so. And now I'm still figuring out the incarnate stuff now. I usually hit the AT specific forums for questions or a peek at what other people are doing with their builds to see if mine can be improved. Some that I see I don't agree with, others are like a "dang, why didn't I think of that" or "I didn't know I could do that." The experimentation may be costly in terms of investing in IOs only to switch them out later, but I think it's part of the fun.

I hope this isn't so. My workhorse is intentionally on 10.11.xx for work because my apps don't work so well on the newer OS. I have a newer macbook, but I don't enjoy playing on a laptop. =( So far, I can still run the Safe Mode after all the updates. Waiting for a more stable and hopefully one-click installation from Manga in the coming days.

Gotcha. I figured the best help I can do is be one less player for the overworked GMs and Devs to worry about. I'll just wait for the dust to settle and the major update to stabilise. You guys are doing fantastic work! You people rock!

Hi guys. Came here from the discord #new-client-issues and things seem to be escalating there, too much for my mild mannered self. So. I ran Island Rum. It downloaded the new stuff until the green tick mark appeared. Got the new choices on the splash screen (Homecoming 64-bit and HC beta 64-bit are greyed out). Clicked Homecoming (topmost choice) - opens a wineskin pop up that says I need to install additional software - same deal when I click the CoH app icon from launcher - I have no idea what to do or how to do it. I have no technological savviness whatsoever. Clicked Homecoming Safe Mode Game runs fine. Do I need to be running Homecoming or Homecoming 64-bit? Or can I stay in blissful ignorance in Safe Mode? I play the game on an old 2011 Mac Mini running El Capitan (long story, don't ask).
