Tersival

Well, I don't know what caused the error but I deleted my instaleld game folder, reinstalled from scratch and it now seems to be working again.

I've just encountered this as well. Would love to know the solution. Double checked and servers are all showing green on the launcher, and HC Launcher is still set to Allow on my firewall.

Awesome to see an Issue 27 update, but I'm finding the new empty enhancement slot style to be an eyesore. Is there an option to revert to previous visual style? instead of... Thanks

Melee hybrids?

I often default to Rectified Reticle simply because stealthy Arachnos are so annoying, wasn't thinking of +perception from Focused Senses. Fly to Swift I simply overlooked on Mids, but Winters Gift Slow Resistance I hadn't noticed. Thanks,

I figure dps is nil while faceplanted so goal #1 is being as untouchable as practicable; #2 recharge, since no dps while waiting for powers to come back; #3 ... damage? edit: nm, just figured out DDR

Hi all, I've tried a few scrapper builds before and feel like I've finally settled on a preferred power sets combo built around Electrical Melee/Super Reflexes - but I'm wondering my slots/enhancement sets are optimal. So, since I've not been able to find an EM/SR build to work off, I wonder if the community can help me refine my following build:- Hero Plan by Mids' Reborn : Hero Designer 2.6.0.7 https://github.com/ImaginaryDevelopment/imaginary-hero-designer Click this DataLink to open the build!

Does "all enemies inside the mission map" mean the raid will now be an instanced mission? no more RWZ-full lockouts? No more 2 leagues fighting together? (edited grammar)

I find it strangely heartening to see so much debate since it suggests the issue being examined is so close to balanced that there is no clear winner. My only request is that if the rage recharge rate is what determines a crash or not, please make it so that ONLY my build effects my rage recharge rate. I can handle needing to avoid stacking rage to avoid a crash. If I have to then change my play whenever I team up with someone with Speed Boost that becomes a right royal pain and a disincentive to teaming up. Yes I could talk to Null the Gull to ignore speed boost but that’s another disincentive because I loose all the other benefits of Speed Boost that I currently enjoy.

New cosmetics (costume pieces, costume patterns, & alternate animations for more powers). More solo/small team incarnate level challenges . but mostly more of the same awesome community minded support Homecoming has already delivered

P.S. - having had time to practice the power rotations (if not the set bonuses yet), I'd be happy to drop the slow Thunder Strike, if anyone can figure out a better source of AoE bonus.

So, finally got my Electric/Shield scrapper to 50 and thought I should share my current build plan with the brain trust to see if I can tweak it further. I've seen a few builds that all seem to rely on jumping as a core part of the build, but my favorite travel power is flight so my build goes different route. I tried a fly/hover build for an extra bonus, but the hover is... awkward for melee, so dropped as more hindrance than help. I'd love to get more recovery/regen, but without sacrificing def caps this is the best I can come up with so far: Hero Plan by Mids' Hero Designer 1.962 http://www.cohplanner.com/ Click this DataLink to open the build!

I’m not seeing a Numina’s Healing/Absorb in Pines so I assume that data bug or mismatch. Getting past that though, I see 2 pieces give +12% regen while the Regenerative Tissue Regen gives +25%. What am I missing to make the set set bonus better than the Regen Tissue bonus?

Its entirely possible that my assumption (avoiding purple recipes would be enough to call my build “medium budget”) was off, but that’s why I sought the wisdom of the wiser collective! All very helpful tips, thank you. You’re right on Freebird – its disappointing if the Fly speed is capped, but I think the regen bonus is worthwhile and stealth seems contrary to by job as distraction to protect the team. Panacea proc on its way to Physical Perfection, but I don’t understand “if nothing else, that's a good place to put another Performance Shifter”... Kinetic Combat sets seem like a good source of S/L Defense, especially with 3.75% per four piece set currently going for < 20 mil inf (not counting attunements). Not CHEAP, but reasonably achievable. I’ve found invul tank to be an end hog all of its career. I haven’t factored incarnate into the build because I’m not settled on incarnate choices, but at vet 15 Alpha-Cardiac has generally made end a non-issue unless I’m being end-drained. Never imagined any build could make malta sappers less annoying but I’d be happy to hear otherwise!

Terseus was my first L50 build before sunset and is again in Homecoming. So, this is my early-goals build aiming at getting good stats without using any (hideously rare and expensive) purple sets, with decent regen and some psi resistance to balance out less than perfect defenses. You might recognise some of the frankenslotting from Nic's Guide to IO's With IMPACT! (https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/topic,4800.0.html), which I admire as a solid starting point for building up bonuses. I'd be grateful for tips on tweaking this build without changing powers. I'm hooked on Mystic Flight for the occasionally useful built in teleport, plus Recall Friend for helping out my wife who is sometimes navigationally challenged ;), but these would obviously be easy choices to swap out for others.

I couldn't find the guide but that command was indeed the key. Thanks all! I'm generally loath to use binds because I bounce between alts so much I worry I'll remember what key works what for which character, so I worked on the macro option. I found /macro LtR powexec_location target Lightning Rod works perfectly (no quotes). My next goal will be reading up on Shenanigunner's "Macros... now with icons!" thread so I can replace the ugly grey macro button with something more fitting! :) Edit: I found the Guide Shenanigunner referenced (I think, at http://www.dgath.com/coh/ ) and with some experimentation found that /macro_image ElectricMelee_PBAoETeleport LtR powexec_location target Lightning Rod gives me a version of Lightning Rod that executes Lighting Rod onto my currently selected target. It does not however create the targeting circle if I have no target, or if my target is out of range. Haven't figured out if that's possible yet. Edit2: More experimenting, and I've found /macro_image ElectricMelee_PBAoETeleport LtR "powexecname Lightning Rod$$powexec_location target Lightning Rod" will create a macro that looks like the Lightning Rod icon on my power tray, entitled "LtR" if I right-click on the icon, that executes Lightning Rod on my selected target if I have one, or if I don't have a target selected it creates the default targeting circle! The quotes were important though. Without the quotes, the new icon only executes the first command, producing the default targeting circle - no surprise if you're already a macro master I guess, but important to mention for those of us learning I think.

Is there a way to target AOE powers to centre on a selected target instead of the default 'place the AOE circle somewhere using your mouse'? I thouhgt I read something saying it's possible earlier in the week, but when I finally unlocked Lightning Rod on my scrapper I couldn't find the reference again. Thanks in advance.

I've read many builds and wrestled with Mids and Pines hero planners learning IO sets and bonuses, but this guide is superb for narrowing down the best bang-for-buck IO's. The tips on best ones for early use are especially useful. Thank you!

For me it comes down to the difference between the classes' inherent powers, Fury and Gauntlet. From: https://cityofheroes.fandom.com/wiki/Inherent_Powers#Gauntlet ... - A Tanker's AoE attacks and auras to taunt every PvE enemy they affect. Their single-target attacks taunt the enemy hit and up to four more around it. - A Brute's single target attacks only taunt the target they hit. i.e. A tanker is committed to protecting his group by drawing the attention of their enemies. For a brute, this role is secondary to doing the most damage they can do. In practice, there's very little practical difference in a balanced team. Go with the archetype that resonates with you psychologically, in your gut. At the end of the day its a game. Play what's more fun for you.

Perfect, yes. Forget now which one of those did the trick but I was able to flip the doors to suit my purpose. Thanks heaps.

Seeing vehicle options I went looking for some kind of wall feature that would suggest vehicle access and came across the "Large Secure Door" within Doors & Windows. Is it just me or is that door upside down? Is there a way for me to rotate it around its horizontal axis? (interpreting the rick-clock and alt rotate options as around vertical axis) Thanks in advance.

Awesome, thanks :)

What if any enhancement (sets) change knock back effects into knock down or knock up effects? I saw a reference in in-game chat but had no chance to quiz the poster for details and it might be enough for me to make that force blaster I've always avoided due to the knock back effects. Thanks in advance.
