My theme for a telepathy character is a brain in a jar, created by the MIGO, liberated by a unnnamed Time/Space repair team, and walking around atop a robotic body. But you dont have to keep it that simple, a good telepath can be really complex.

Made it through both Canada and Desert Cises with all badges/perks. Discovered the open mission in Canada crisis was removed. (it had been in the wiki last week, I think is updated now) I was going to solo the entire game this way, in progression. However, there are a number of problems with that, mostly revolving around…

Thanks everyone for the responses. I usually dont like it because of the animation, but on this particular character concept the animation is perfect. Its nice to know what it does now too. I will keep it on this guy all the way to 40. I had it up and working at 14th level, and already seemed to notice some difference. I…

I actually tried Plasma Beam last night, and respec'd right out of it quick. I like some things about it, but its defining characteristic is that it is untargeted/targeted by facing. Since I plan on trying to run 3 powers at once I need my weapon systems to be smarter than that. I know the build can run 2 toggles at once…
-
lololol Well, I am pretty new to the game, so I got nothing valuable to give you for it. But I will give up my idea....Foxbot! Thats right, a robotic Foxbat.
-
how does one acquire a foxbat cape in game? i just came up with an idea for a character based on the cape!
-
Okay, things are looking up. Still going slow though. Mostly because I kept going back to the costume editor. After many alterations I believe I have the outfit set up for the job. Another thing that slowed me down was powers. I respec'd out of wrist bolter, because I just find Power Bolt quicker. Also, was unhappy with…

I use the ] key for targeting, the [ for previous target, and the \ key for next target. After your post I finally set that up in CO as well. After the improvement I noticed from your tip I reset all video to CO default settings, then changed the mouse target thing and permanented that. I will run it this way for 10-20…
-
Yeah, I looked again at the numbers, and of course the Pew Pew from any energy builder is gonna add minimal to the mix. I think I will take the bolter for thematic reasons, and not invest anything in it. My build is CON/REC/END with Overdrive and by 20 I should be able to run a decent amount of multiple toggle attacks at a…

It's definitely the block thing. Personally, I NEVER block. I build to not block as well, taking advantage of the very few builds that have rewards for not blocking (beyond the doing DPS thingy). I had been waxing the AV pretty fast each time, and never getting credit. Last night, for whatever reason (sheer tediousness and…
-
So.... Not off to a good start. I have not had a lot of time to get this project running, but everytime I did have a few hours a horrible thing happened. I would go to the tutorial, do all the missions (including Fox and Cat, get location badge, everything) then I would complete it and NOT get the final badge/perk. After…
-
I am trying one of my "every perk/mission in the game" runs. I used to do these on CoX once or twice a year. Guess what? Cannot get through the tutorial here. Well, I can. No credit. Have tried 3 times. wasted 6 hours gameplay creating characters, etc. I know bugs happen, I know. Still, this is just stupid.
-
er, by "tank the game" i meanmt grab a tank and solo the game. i do actually need to kill everything. well, a lot of stuff. I am gonna try the CON/REC/END trick and see if I like it, if not I'll respec. I will be using Crit gear in Primary, and havent decided on what else, need to research what to chase in Defense and…
-
I've decided CON/REC/END. My theory being it is hard to pick a combo that cannot walk this game into the ground firstly. Secondly rather than chasing crits or recharge or w/e with the stats I am chasing raw survivability and energy. The corollary being rather than having say, EGO and grabbing an extra X% damage all the…
-
That has some positive effect Bioshrike. It solved 95-98% of my problems with standing over treasure/interact and having to hit the button multiple times. (Can you please get me 100%???) I am still having problems targeting with my melee guy, but that is at least 5% operator error, possibly 6%. I am playing with camera…
-
I'll try that bioshrike, thanks.

I do not believe it is horrid lag, unless it is server side. I have a cable connection and am able to download complete movies in a few minutes, CoX never caused this problem, WoW does not have this problem, and all the other websites that comp uses everyday does not experience this issue. I do not tab target much, I try…

I hope that Champions continues to grow. On the whole I think it is a good game. The comparison between Champions and Cox is inevitable, and I believe necessary. I can guarantee you that I will continue to post "without knowing certain key things." I did on the Cox boards for five years, and do not plan on changing my…
-
Thanks for the response. I actually want to like Champions Online, just struggling to get my sea legs. I think I will enjoy many things about it. I do enjoy the freeform building, just feeling a little squeezed by the limited number of power picks. That may change as I start 40-ing a few characters. Since I do not have a…
-
One that stung me was Telepathic Reverberation. I have a Migo brain cylinder character I ran for a week, and made choices off the propaganda in the brochure. In fact it scales with Presence, and so my somewhat tightly written concept seemed mis aimed from the beginning. I'll probably never play the character again, and a…
-
I agree with you about CoX's problems. In fact I was trying for 6 months to get a Blaster that could walk and chew gum at the same time. I will not go into all the details, but I was very frustrated by what I perceived to be a "Designed from the ground up to be a Blapper" problem. They were indeed starting to address some…
-
I agree 100%. City of Heroes was widely nicknamed "City of re-use" Those guys went green in a big way, they recycled everything. The point I was making is that it "feels" to me like I am constantly hitting the same 2 animations over and over again in Champions. City of X got around that because they forced an attack chain…
-
Hmm. i seem to recall from a guide stickied on these boards aimed at people new to the game that they recommend a block, a buff or two, I forget all the details. But I guess you are right. you could take most all of your powers and spread them across many different powersets and get various animations for your character.…
-
I would agree with most of this. As I said, I do enjoy the freedom to build anyway I want. However, all those different powers with cooldowns meant different animations. Interesting animations. They do not even flap wings in Champion for flying from what i heard. They are seriously animation poor. Not sure how much City of…
-
Hmm. Not really feeling stuck. This is a different world. It has things that are better than City of x, and it has things that are worse. It does no good to do a side by side comparison, City of X is lost to the mists of time. I do enjoy the completely freeform character building. This was something i hungered for, for a…
-
Actually, i am trying to enjoy this game. For instance, i love the games character generator. it has a very similar feel to City of X, and that is widely considered to have been one of the best ever. I am expressing here what i do have problems with, in the hopes of soliciting feedback from people who have played for a…

In city of Heroes/Villains we had 24 power picks + our inherents, which included the archtype inherent, which combines about 3-5 buff self powers from Champions. In Champions you get 12 power picks, plus a travel power. Of the 12, 3-5 need to go 'buffing" yourself, leaving 7-9 for slotting attacks. Those attacks include…
-
The thing is, even with just a few weeks of Champions under my belt, it is obvious (to me) that seems unwise. As SomeBob pointed out in the post right above yours it is easier for a tank to solo the content, just slower. Specifically, building for damage rather than survival you start to sacrifice way more than you can…
-
It's a pretty standard Power Armor build I am using. It's my highest level character (now 27) and I pretty much have little idea what I am doing. I named the character "Mission Drone" made it look like an automated thingy (my concept of a automated remote control robot exploring the world of CO) and i am just running every…
-
Thanks, those answers were helpful. I ran a few Doms in City of, but mostly Bruted my way through the game. I'm intrigued why they built mez powers the way they did here. My main question is why would someone ever use of of the few power picks they get to take something so... lame. Really glad the Fear mechanic works…
-
have a button flap the wings. then the user can flap (or not) to their hearts content.
-
Thanks Hyper. Good to see a familiar name from the CoH boards.
-
Er, new to champions, so I cannot answer your question. But as a longtime Invulnerability lover from another, cough, game, could you tell me how you cranked your resist to 71%. Please do not be shy about sharing the intricate details. (read, spell it out for me, i'm really really new here) Thanks.
-
A lot to think about. Some obvious good responses. Thank you. I will probably level with a flawed build and respec it. Not too sure how to do that cheaply in a free game earned way. Maybe I'll just pay the F-ing 10.00 or w/e lol. The reason I will level it flawed is I obviously have much to learn, and the topics brought up…
