Malvans? Nope doesn't fit their laissez faire MO. The Elder Worms cast a hugely powerful curse during the last days of their war with the Malvans. The curse removed the fire from the soul of the Malvans. They turned inward. Their vast empire simply crumbled because they don't really care. There are exceptions like…
No it wasn't a joke. It's finally me being pragmatic. You've been waiting how long for the Telepathy rework? It's back-burnered. I'm not saying it's been shelved. Cryptic has always prided itself to being able to createing MMORPGs with a small development team. Well things are nominal (i.e. no time pressure, adequate…
The Lemerian Kraken "alert" (or whatever)? Back to meh. I don't mean to badmouth the Cryptic devs. I know they working hard on the almost nonexistent resources and deadlines they are given. But I fully expect this to be half-assed in execution line all of the new things that have been attempted with CO. My predictions for…
Then you key bind is probably set to something else. Under Options -> Key Bind -> Enable Mouse Rotate . Click on it and set it to Left Drag from the special keys drop down.
Nemesis Heirloom gear from the Nemesis store bought with...DUN, Dun, dun...Nemesis Tokens. It's leveling scaling gear which gives a +3% XP bonus for each Primary gear you have slotted. It's account bound. So you can pass them onto new alts as a character hit's level 40 (via the Account Bank).
No. But Dark allows you do make a very good approximation of a Human form Warshade. Celestial allows the glowy effects and Force for KB crazy Peacebringers.
Not really. For those that don't know the Champions lore, Millennium City is a real city in the US that was renamed. In the lat 90's Doctor Destroyer setup a very elaborate worldwide plan. I won't get into detail or spoilers. But Doctor Destroyer lived up to his name by annihilating a good chunk of Detroit, Michigan (aka…
Pre-alert dodge was weaker/stronger. Dodge change was proportional to the the activation time on power. Charge powers or long activation time powers increased the doge change. Quick activation powers reduced the dodge change. So big schtick attack from bosses were nothing, but basic henchmen attack would tear you to shreds.
Cryptic uses the Hue/Saturation/Value color model. Sauration is how pure (100) the color is down to greyscale (0). Value determines how "bright" the color is from white (100) to black (0). Hue is the color as like from the rainbow. The issue is that the game client only allows teh player to chance the Hue of powers. The…
There difference between night and the surface of the Sun. Night Warrior gives +17 Dodge/+17 Avoidance at R1. Lightning Reflexes gives +226 Dodge / +46% Avoidance and +226 Avoidance Rating above that. Offensive Passive give very little defense compared to a Defensive Passive. The biggest defense of an Offensive Passive is…
Lockboxes do NOT replace, nor supplant, any drop. They are an additional drop table added to everything in the game that drops them. These worst cost that affect people is they take up 1 inventory slot up to 99. And the tiny bit of time and effort it takes to discard the stack.
FWIW, I retconned out of Wrist Bolter into Power Bolts mostly because of the animation (and perceived delay in activating them) The only real diffrence between them is that you can turn Wrist Bolters into a hand slot power with an advantage. That means you can keep Bolters on continuously. When you toggle off your head and…
In regards to VB Crisis, I've finished it recentlly with a new character. Valerian Scarlet didn't vanish on me at all. In fact, I had to switch to a defenive passive in teh better becuase I could not finish her fast enough.
Dark Aura can be partially recolored in an indirect way. Only the inner "core" of the flames can be alters. The outer dark layer of the flames are perma-dark. Or it could be direct if the the devs let slip the power # to recolor it directly. *bats eyes* :biggrin:
It sounds like they are revampong the grab bags llike they did for STO's Lock boxes. So look for Grab Bag having a minimum of 4 Salvage which changes for up to 20 Salvage per bag. And there won't be any cruft in them either. So no more 1 Savage and 1 Catalyst in a Grab Bag. STO has a Duty Officer Requisition. I don't know…
O.K. That does it. * shakes Pun Jar * That's enough PUNishment for Today. If you were under inditment, your should carp a plea over that kinda of behaviour. OK, pay up. You owe big time. /me tosses a couple of cans of tuna .
To correct a possible misundertanding, it's not blocking which knocks down the Regeneration's rate, per se. It's when the incoming DPS which falls below a certain value which Blocking can do. But if you are taking a sufficient amount of sustained DPS, not even Blocking will reduce the regeneration rate.
From someone in the IT field who's a Systems Administrator, I do have a certain amount of experise in this area. Test servers are great things with good testing they can find errors before they get into a production system. However, test server are never exactly the same as the production environment. You have the same…
1 and 3) It depends on how you like to play. I like to avoid having to use my Energy Builder, at if if I can help it. You Equilibrium points mostly determined REC helps you have a pool of energy to to crank out an alpha strike first of. With a decent records, you'll need to use your Energy builder to build up a decent…
The inhabitant of the Universe don't know his origin. But Mechanon's origin has been reveal in his source book "Book of the Machine". Spoiler alert He's a Salvation Unit from 6000 AD that was supposed to be sent back to 53th Century to prevent a bunch of natural disasters that made the 6000 AD all but uninhabitable. A…
Support form will really help in the Energy department. It should be doable. If you get Energy Cost Reduction gear, you can probably get it down to 100 Energy or so for a full charge with the Energy Form consumption. That means any Energy Form proc will be consumed, and you damage boosting passive will cutout for 8…
That why you hit them below the Energy belt. Telekinetic Wave w/ Psychic Tides. Let see 'em keep those bubble up with an Energy Equilibrium of 1 all the time.
Yes, all of that is from Champions Lore. And your hero fought at the Forum Malvanum. you put up a tremendous fight, but alas you lost the bout. And I lost my bet.
And stay off my moon plot as well. I have...ways of dealing with trespassers. I have NUKES!! BWAHAHAHAHAH! Wait...did I say that with my outside voice?!?!? Annnd back on topic. I'd love to have a space zone even it not the moon. I remember talk about the level bump possibly being associated player joining or aligning with…
Sort of. If you use Ranged Damage (Offensive) role, it actually cuts the energy cost in 1/2, but it kills any energy form for 8 seconds. You'll need SS End or Int to be able to get ful charge out of. But even w/o a full charge, it packs a hefty punch. normally a 1/2 charge is more than enough to wipe a group of henchman…
Flashy, unique and a light show...that sounds like Celestial Conduit. Not quite a beam, it's swirling waves of energy flowing towards the target. You also have a special animation where you lift off the ground as you channel the energy and you are covered in a light aura as well. It's a single target maintain, Not the most…
One hidden goodie that I haven't seen mention is glowing bits. Each costume piece can potentially have sections that glow. There aren't always well documented. To see if an item has colors which can glow look at the 4 color selections when you highlight the costume piece. If one or more of the color selectors have a wide,…
Heya Flea. Nice to see you over here. In regards to SR, you'll have no problem building character in CO. My Pistols/SR Scapper (Pistols Scrapper, finally!!! eeee!!) truns through content on Eilte Difficulty like paper.
Where Defiance excels is taking the big schtick attacks from boss++. The big hits are space far apart. So it's very bursty DPS.. Versus crowds minions and lieutenants is where Defiance will fall behind. The constant DPS will nickel and dime you to defeat. That's where Invulnerability excels.
A hint that I haven't see yet. The "exit" button from mission instances is bury a bit. Hit 'J' to bring up missions window. Click the 'Crime Computer' button to bring up the Crime Computer window. Then select 'Leave Current Map' select and confirm it.
If you believe receive your items, check you Overflow Bag. It will be the right most bag icom above you Device hot bar. If youre main inventory is full, the system will put items you receive from mail or opening bags/device into your Overflow bag. Even if you have open space in oeht bag And the buff for all 3 Vanguard…
Well sometimes it's not what Freddie (Foxbat) does, it's how he does it. For instance while thwarting Foxbat's latest masterful and ingenious "masterplan", a DPNC (Dependent NPC i.e. Jimmy Olsen for Superman) of one of the heroes gets injured and his wheel chair get's wheelchair smashed. No doubt by that incompetent dolt…
It's more to prevent overloading a new player. The game cam have a steep learning curve especially if a Gold account tries a Free Form character first. You'll be level 6 by the time you get out of the tutorial. And reach level 10 will take around an hour at most for even the greenest of players.
More Foxbat? You don't know what you are asking for. Woe unto any hero he picks as his current Nemesis. * shivers at memories of Champions PnP session with Foxbot. Note: A GM that properly runs Foxbot is a horribly evil thing to do to heroic Super Heroes.
Unity Cave missions are easily found using the http://champions-online-wiki.com/ . They have map locations and screenshots that show you exactly which cave to use to reach the mission doors.
the only logging the game client has is /combatlog 1|0. Which will log raw combat chat messages into a log file. There is/are program(s) which will allow you to crunch the damage to your's content.
