Oh, they did say something. On the Star Trek Online twitter feed. Which speaks VOLUMES about how much PWE cares about its Champions players (i.e. "Wut? Champions is one of our games, lol? Kthxbai")
-
The numbers I reported were base numbers before damage resistance, without crits, to establish a baseline for comparison. Didn't know you wanted me to include crits, too. The ranged DPS mode did make some difference, but not a really big one. I did do some regearing with the secondary slots, trying to get out of stacking…

Okay, with some testing in Powerhouse, with 8 stacks of Concentration, I'm pulling 876-965 damage per tick, double that for DPS -- so 1750 to 1930 DPS. That still seems low. But then again, I can maintain TGM for a long time -- I don't have the kind of energy costs my guildy says she does. (She says she's pulling 52 energy…

See, here's the problem: "I have one of those." I have the classic Might Tank. And I have the Dodge Tank. I want a slightly different playstyle; obviously if I'm building this toon up as another Might Tank, I don't want something completely different. Just different enough so it's different to play; otherwise, why am I…

A DDoS isn't going to crash the actual game. It might crash the login server (but it hasn't); the game itself would still be fine. No, this is either a server crash, or an emergency shutdown. This isn't @Neverwintergod and his shenanigans. There was a patch earlier today, and this might be related.
-
No, it's suffering the crash right now, 2/19/2016.
-
That's odd; I've been in both alerts, and in fact I've targeted and killed mobs before the alert started, and it's never failed to complete for me.
-
Champions Online is currently suffering from what appears to be a server crash. There may have been a reset affecting your friend.
-
The login server won't let me in at all.
-
Taco's build does not work for me. It's not a leveling build; I find that it runs out of energy far too quickly. I've spoken to him on this subject, and he suggests that you switch out MSA for Supernatural Power on the build for leveling. Which brings me to a point: Hey, guys, it's wonderful if a build is all uber-powerful…
-
Because Superheroes. And the only other competition is DC Universe Online, which is a wonderful console MMO. But I have a PC.
-
Most villains in the Champions universe aren't given a specific locale, and that makes it easier to tailor them to your game. You may set your campaign in New York... or you may set it in Chicago. Or Los Angeles. Or your hometown. Or you may be jet-setting heroes who handle crises on the global (or even cosmic) scale. Of…
-
I'd like to thank everyone again for their contributions. Actually, "Hybrid DPS" is exactly what I wanted in the first place... but I was told that the "tankmage" concept isn't do-able in the Champions Online build system. Shows what I know, even after three years of playing this game. (I'm learning. Slowly. Give me a…
-
Okay, since I got no responses to my last message, I'm going to assume that my last modifications were good, and that's what I'm going with. Time to start slogging through UNITY missions for gear... :P Thanks, flowcyto, for your input.
-
Okay, some changes. Got rid of Earth Splitter for MSA. Had too many AoEs anyway. (I use Cleave mainly. Vicious Cyclone is for acquiring group aggro and applying Poison.) Cleave is now at 5 points of advantage, with Rank 2, Defensive Stance and Challenging Strikes. Strength tree spec is now Swole 3/3, Physical Peak 2/3,…
-
I spoke to chalupa earlier tonight... I've got the build up to level 20 and I'm having energy problems with it. Right now, before combat starts, I have enough energy to drop a full burst of Epidemic, which melts all the Henchmen... but if there's a Villain or higher in the group, I have to drag out the EB just to have…
-
I was just wondering if it could be done. I'm happy with my less-than-ubertanky tanks. If I can help out, great! If the rest of the team considers me dead weight, then that's their problem.
-
I know I'm doing something wrong here... I tried going for a telepathy build using the new DoT powers, but every time I'm in an Alert I end up dying over and over and over and over... I know it's the AoE, but that seems like all the new Telepathy does, is AoE. Here's the build as it currently is. I know I made some…
-
That's odd, considering the first build is also yours, flowcyto.
-
When playing a Munitions build someone else suggested, I noticed a big difference in the way Champions Online lets you build a character versus the way Power House lets you do it. Champions Online lists Lead Tempest as needing 5 powers from Munitions, or 6 non-Energy Building powers from other frameworks, before you can…
-
Apparently you can't pick up Lead Tempest at level 17 either. Or I should have grabbed Submachinegun Burst at 14. Champions Online wouldn't let me grab LT at 17. You need 5 Munitions powers or 6 non-energy powers to grab LT. Can't do that, if you take Quarry or Concentration in the build before Level 17... and if you take…
-
In this case, Submachinegun Burst is being used not for damage, but for effect, since as an ex-member of the New Purple Gang, the character needs to use a New Purple Gang Tommy Gun at some point. I mean, what the hell, it's not like I'm going to grab Implosion Engine...
-
So I decided to test flowcyto's EGO-based build by making a new Munitions DP character and using his build. So far I'm up to level 15, and seeing comparable performance to what my level 40 did at that level. Unfortunately his build is illegal: It's not possible to get Lead Tempest before level 17. His build puts it at…
-
I'm wondering if someone's updated this to current standards of play. I'm considering an all-particle ranged DPS build, but I'm not sure of the viability. Using the guide as written, I've come up with the following build: PowerHouse (Link to this build) Name: Particle Power Armor Archetype: Freeform Super Stats: Level 6:…
-
Okay, there are a lot of things I just don't understand. 1) Superstats. I'm DEX/EGO/INT, and I should probably have gone DEX/INT/EGO. You folks gave me three great builds, but none of them are DEX primary? I do not understand. I was under the impression that you want DEX primary for crits, to feed Killer Instinct as well…
-
Well, technically my character, the Malicious Merrymaker, is a clown, of sorts... actually, he's a Juggalo. But I've put together several clown costumes. He's a Heavy Weapons/Supernatural tank, though I think for an actual clown, you might want to go with more of a HW/Gadgets build. I know there's a heavy mallet for the HW…
-
Hm. Let's assume that the network is down for the rest of the night. Let's also assume that the person who wanted a refund is a casual player, who plays 2 hours a night, 5 nights a week. 2 hours / week, x 5 nights, = 10 hours / week. 4 weeks in a month, plus three days (March has 31 days) worth of gaming, equals 46 hours…
-
Did I want that? No. Did I want this? Yes.
-
Thanks for the offer, but I've already moved on past this area.
-
It happened twice for me. When it happened the first time, I got so frustrated I had to log off and exit the game completely after dropping the mission. So the second attempt was after several hours offline, completely new instance of the game. To be honest, I only have so much attention to use on the game; if a mission is…
-
This mission is seriously bugged, and is now a total waste of time. Every time I get Mechaniste down anywhere near unconscious, he immediately becomes invulnerable and/or untargetable, and drops his coldzone AoE -- and I start taking 200+ damage per tick, unless I stay in Block mode. When this is done, he immediately…
-
This "Vector Manipulation" is a simple Rebound effect -- when you're attacked, the attack is rebounded against the attacker as well as affecting you. And I can already tell you that this is not something that can be done in the Cryptic game engine. Sorry. The engine requires that you deliberately choose to attack a target…
-
Most of what I know about this level of nanotech comes from games like Anarchy Online. The basic assembler, basic disassembler, things like that. But I know there are some amazing things you can do with nanotech, which is reflected in the build I came up with. Speaking of which, here's the build I came up with, playing…
-
And just as a quick FYI, I did look up information on the powers. Most of the links I got from Google led me to the CO-Wiki, which is currently down due to the host dropping it. The rest of it was so badly outdated the usefulness of the information is dubious.
-
I think the OP wants an electric brute/tank from CoH. They were apparently supposed to be fun to play.
-
I edited the original post. Sorry, folks, I was just annoyed at being told "play a STR tank like everyone else plays" and having it clash so much with my playstyle. The thing is, I know this game is weird. I know it's been neglected by its own developers in favor of other games with more recognizable intellectual…
-
I am sorry if I have offended you, but I tried a Strength tank and I tried a Constitution tank, and the CON build matches my playstyle better. It's quite possible that I do need to learn to play. If you could point me in the direction of some website that teaches one how to play a tank in Champions Online, I would be most…
-
Also, I have problems blocking. I can block, but usually when I need to block I'm in the middle of an attack chain. So auto-defenses are nicer than blocking holds and debuffs.
-
I've decided that a Con tank is much more conducive to my playstyle. It's not so much damage as I want, as it is just sheer flat-out inability to be moved. Hurt, yes, I'll be hurt, the game cheats in order to hurt you -- you can have the hard cap on all defenses and you'll still be hit and take damage. No, what I want is…
-
So with the above advice, I have the following build: PowerHouse (Link to this build) Name: Archetype: Freeform Super Stats: Level 6: Dexterity (Primary) Level 10: Intelligence (Secondary) Level 15: Ego (Secondary) Talents: Level 1: The Marksman Level 6: Coordinated Level 9: Shooter Level 12: Academics Level 15: Accurate…

After playing around with it a bit, here's what I've come up with: PowerHouse (Link to this build) Name: Archetype: Freeform Super Stats: Level 6: Dexterity (Primary) Level 10: Intelligence (Secondary) Level 15: Ego (Secondary) Talents: Level 1: The Marksman Level 6: Coordinated Level 9: Shooter Level 12: Academics Level…

I did mention I suck when it comes to building characters, didn't I? :tongue:
-
First of all, that impact font isn't very readable. Please just use the basic font. Favoritism has always been an accusation thrown around by the losers. We had that on City of Heroes too. There's a few things that could be done to avoid the accusations, but it's always going to happen. I'd like to see a basic rule…
-
The problem wasn't that they failed to plan. The problem is that they couldn't possibly have foreseen the massive amount of interest in Neverwinter. The amount of traffic from the Open Beta not only overloaded the system, it broke something. They repaired the malfunction, of course, but the problem still remains -- the…

You do know this is a public forum, don't you? Also, it isn't phone text messaging. You can spell everything out, you aren't limited to 140 characters or something stupid. If you really... can't... spell better than that, then perhaps you shouldn't be involving yourself in a text-based medium where articulation, spelling,…
