Hmm, my bad. It seems that the absorption is actually just that low across the board. I just saw it being really low while I was testing everything else on Endurance and figured it was because my Presence was poor. Swapping mods out does confirm that IDF is scaling on all superstats... granted it does feel a bit…
-
Is it Hurricane in particular or are all powers similarly less potent? The former is more likely a bug, while the latter is more than likely due to the form's choice of scalar stat. Remember that Endurance offers no innate bonus to damage, where a Dex-scaled Chilled Form or Ego-scaled Concentration also have their stats…

I like a majority of the Force changes. Being able to gain shielding via more attacks is something the set will benefit from as a whole. In addition we get a new mechanic to lean on in Power Shield. Less about seeing how quickly we can ping pong the enemy before they become immune to our shenanigans. I am interested in…

Accessing the Overflow Bag can be a pain sometimes as it tends to get stuck for unknown reasons. We may have ways around the issue via the /lootcancel command and relogging/reloading into a new zone, but that doesn't make it any less annoying.
-
Perception Debuff powers... interesting choice. If I recall right, they don't find a lot of use due to how the enemy AI is treated nowadays. They either easily walk out of its effects (AI moving to last known location of target) or straight up ignore it (Tough-class mobs/Bosses). I remember using Smoke Grenade a lot as a…

Necromancy +1.

Without much info, it's a little hard to figure out what you want. I took a crack at it and came up with something. I'm not sure if it's something you're looking for, but hopefully it's enough inspiration. The pieces used are Blazing Tights/Belt, Bulwark Chest, Millennia Shoulders, Virtual Hands/Feet, Blockbuster…
-
The missions were neat. We were left with a bit of a cliffhanger at the end, hopefully keeping something open for us to continue off of when more come out. I liked the enemies the most, particularly the new attacks that came our way. Makes me hope that some factions get more permanent updates to their movesets in the…

This week, for r/softwaregore. Putting Gear inside other Gear! And inserting Gear inside of itself!

If the characters are considered "Gold" still, you may find yourself locked out of using them until you convert them to an AT the account owns or by purchasing a Freeform slot ($30 USD) and using the slot to unlock the character to keep them freeform. The Premium Pack, while offered free to previous subscribers, does not…

Auras will tell you whether or not they can stack in their description.

Bug / Typo Warcry Warcry's description states that it applies a stack of Reckless for each Rank invested in the power. In fact, as far as I can see, investing Ranks into Warcry does absolutely nothing for the power currently. Given that Reckless cannot be applied more than once, perhaps it would be more prudent to allow…

As an additive to Flowcyto's recommendations, you can trade in your passive with Seraphim, which provides relevant damage bonuses while adding additional Healing. Could make good use of that to make your DPS/Support character. Also, Recovery as a secondary superstat may be more beneficial than Intelligence since a lot of…
-
Pros: Basically a Character Creator Sandbox, could make all sorts of things ranging from your classic Superhero, to a mystical fantasy creature or a cosmic sci-fi alien. You can even go so far as to make your character a sock puppet or a sentient thumb just because you feel like it if that's your thing. Even better, you…

Bound items of any type cannot be sent through the mail. Bound to Account items can instead be transferred to other characters on the account through the Hideout Shared Bank.

Memorable Moments 1. My First Freeform. 2. Discovering Grond was visually stuck as a teddy bear as he continued his rampage in the Desert. 3. Development of my roster over time. 4. Becoming Self-Proclaimed "Best Hybrid." 5. Resistance's Finale. Played both normally, and without using the Mega-Destroids. 6. The Tailor…

Something that may help with building up a character is how you set the mood for them. I typically do that by finding a piece of music to use as a theme. Sometimes it can be just as simple as building your character around what a particular song is conveying. Most of my characters don't really belong in CO's universe, but…
-
If I recall right, the option you were originally using was never intended to be there in the first place. It was just a default pattern that never had its "call-to" removed from the costume until recently.
-
Welcome back. Lately, most of us have been enamored by Cosmics at endgame, but we're still open to jumping into missions or adventures. If you find that respeccing is too expensive, I would recommend checking out the Z-Store and grabbing an extra character slot or two and work up extra characters to fill a role instead.…
-
Eh, while Caprice has its reputation, as of late it hasn't been that bad. You still get your edgelords and godmoders, but that's everywhere really. Your best bet may actually be to seek out a RP Super Group though for more consistent RP. CO's community isn't known for its size, so there might not be much going on in most…

I could sing.

It looks like the only guide that shares tricks on body proportions got ruined by the Forum Character Limit... a shame. Hope that comes back. If you're looking to build more "normal" or "young" looking body-types, on males I recommend getting Body Mass down to 15 and then moving Chest Width between the 70~90 area. Push the…
-
The way it used to be was Silvers would have 2 costume slots per character and Gold/Subscribers would have 6. Not quite sure how that dynamic changed when the Premium Pack was introduced. I don't recall ever gaining costume slots for leveling. Build slots, sure, not costume slots though.

Should add a clause for how many roles a Hybrid can fill and then tell them to do them all at once.
-
-
What I find is it's best to find some common ground between sets before trying to mix them. The most obvious combo right now being Fire and Heavy Weapons, but you can do interesting things with Darkness and Telepathy, Gadgeteering and Electricity, and a few others by picking up passives that give their bonus to the…

Welcome to the forums, may your time here not drive you to insanity like the rest of us!
-
It's basically like Genji's "I need healing", except the guy is already down and can be spammed as quickly as you can press the button. Does it even obey chat rules for spamming?
-
Things like energy builders should certainly be more relevant to a rotation, as their current state always makes me feel that they're ineffective as an actual power, only really useful to get the powers needed for the build earlier than if you picked from a different set. Using the energy builder always felt out of place,…

The equivalent of the "Puny god" scene as a power/device.

This is sort-of a normal occurrence for this event.

PSI Hypnotist - Telekinetic Wave is ignoring knock resistance.

Ideally, you avoid using any Auras in Hybrid role. Hybrid AoRP in particular is very nasty if any other person using AoRP exists because it still does bad things with Block. I would recommend sticking with Defiance or Invulnerability even if you're using it in Hybrid role. The thing to consider is that Hybrid tanks can be…
-
Maybe I WANT to have aggro! Maybe if Threat Reduction was available in any other core slot it'd be more appealing... otherwise, I'd rather not sacrifice power output for something that a prepared tank already handles.
-
Sent my ticket in, though I can't review it in-game. I'm hoping it went through and that it not appearing under "My Tickets" is just a visual bug and not an internal error that stopped the ticket.
-
Sorting by last played would be far too annoying for people with large character counts, but knowing that it can be done hopefully means the tech to sort characters in other ways may be something to look forward to. For now, just keep the default sorting method as is or allow an option to swap to the new one. Probably put…

PSI Agent - Both his Rock Throw and Ground Slam "Not-Thunderclap" moves ignore Knock/Hold Resist.
-
My favorite is when the VIPER Powered Armor near the end of the alert decides to knock you so hard and fast you get put right back to the start of the alert.
-
The NPC version of Frag Grenade (Concussion Grenade?) does still knock players, seemingly disregarding knock resist. Blocking will not save anyone caught in the blast. The NPC's Shotgun has more to do with how unfair it is as a default attack. It's the one that doesn't have a visual cast time and appears as the enemy's…

Do/did you launch your games via Arc? If so, you should double check to see if Arc still thinks STO exists on your PC.
-
Mostly because I'm typically the only Hybrid anyone tolerates in an Eidolon run. Most people don't build directly for Hybrid anyway. Dual Passive characters have better capacity to be "either/or" as a situation is demanded, unlike the Hybrid where it just "is" 24/7. Most of the time, it's easier to have the switch to flip…
-
There've been times (the extra rare times when I DO show up to an Eddy run) where the tank died and Mr. Hybrid got the aggro. Somehow it worked out as a means to let the real tank get aggro built back up after they were revived.
-
The thing about healing aggro is that if nobody else can apply threat to a target via attacking the only alternative is to out-threat the healer by healing. It's not going to matter if you reduce healing threat if there's nothing else to contest it. Funnily enough though, Hybrid healers can get away with out-aggroing…

Now you've gone and made me sad again since I can't partake in my hobby here. 1 like = 1 pray for non-existant CO Foundry.
-
Very nice. I'm sure a lot of people considering circles will feel better about ranking them up knowing that the drawbacks won't go up with them now.
-
Fair enough, I suppose. The amount of energy gained per second is quite comparable to what an EU provides as is, and that's shared among people standing inside of it. I still don't like the sound of it cutting into an active healing rune though. If I could make that choice, I'd always prefer to be inside of the healing…
