The official CoH boards make baby jesus cry

[SilverHood]

Oh my god.... they make the DAOC VN boards seem civilized. Ok, well, almost civilized. On a good day.


Now, what's all the fuss about? Something about servers being down?

Incidentally, which servers are you lot on (Freddys Fury, et al)?

I might join you once I pass my exams next month

 

[Sharma]

Well, think its Virtue. <pokes belsameth>

Im just hoping to god Importmadness haven't fucked up or something.

 

[Belsameth]

Virtue

Level 8 so far, so no guild started yet, but it'll be there soon

 

[Tharion]

Well the fuss is about 50%+ of the players never played a mmorpg before.
Never had servers down for maintenence(sp?) and so on.

I've read all sort of funny stuff, ppl think taunt/provoke as a scrapper/tank is crap (makes you get agro and dir), aoe for blasters is dangerous because you get all the agro.

The list of funny noob things goes on and on
But I guess the children will mature and learn how to play and also get a hang of servers being down for different reasons.

 

[BlitheringIdiot]

...and they need to stop using bloody broadcast for their conversations! Haven't they heard of mmorpg ettiquette?!

So much for virtue being muppet free

 

[Tharion]

Hehe, yeah, and the f*cking killstealting, all the f*cking time.

Well well they will all mature when CoV comes or I'll just Kill 'em all

 

[SilverHood]

CoV? City of Villians? Is that the PvP expansion?

 

[Belsameth]

yeah.
it's been announced recently (see a thread farther down the page)
I'm sure it'll contain a lot, but pvp is indeed one of the things it'll add

 

[tRoG]

Rah! The Forecaster is now running around Virtue

 

[pacman]

i should get game tomorrow with any luck and i will be moving to victory where a lot of europeans are. dont wanna meet americans roleplaying

 

[Sarum]

Kath'n Black, and probably other Blacks at some point have taken up residence on Virtue.

 

[Spear]

Got a lvl 8 Controller on Victory.

Fire and Empathy seem best after playing with the char builder for 2hrs
With the following I can solo and group which I find is hard with the other controller primary lines.

Char = Med Dot + Stun which using enhancers can be extended for ages. Stun doesn't break on combat either so you can beat them to death.

Fire Cages = AE Root with minor dot which is useful just root them then run around a corner and kill the ones that resisted.

Teleport other and Teleport in general seems very nice can teleport into the air then move about the city in massive jumps. Then use 'Teleport Other' to bring your group to you.

Hover is quite nice for the bonus to defence it gives and helps getting around the city (float over walls).

Recall friend is perhaps the most useful spell i have. saves a heck of alot of time and faffing about

 

[Belsameth]

in groups Ice is actually better CC wise. it's probably THE best cc in the game.
then again, almost all lines have their uses one way or another

Teleport is indeed wubly, tho it eats end at a frightning pace sadly. unlike flight, speed and jump.
also don't underestimate Teleport Foe. it's a rather good pulling power, and more often then not lets you single target pull with relative ease
