I thought the server guy said he was shutting it down because he got depressed or something.

>>16530167

No, that was just him venting. The server is still chugging along.

I take it we're all staying on the /coxg/ serb for the time being? Or has everyone moved elsewhere because of the fuckup that was the i24 transfer?

>>16530450

>fuckup

Yes we're staying on /coxg/, and it wasn't a fuckup. They just did it earlier before the character transfers were ready.

>>16530459

I still don't get what he did wrong aside from not taking the boxing powers.

>>16530494

He plays the game like a wowbaby

>treats every cd in the regen pool like a reactive oh shit button when they're meant to be used in a proactive manner.

>>16530455

Glad to hear it. What side is everyone playing on most?

>>16530518

We have a super group on villain, post your character name in the thread if you want in and one of our faggots will get with you shortly.

>>16530515

Most defensive sets are okay enough to solo maybe ,but for the highend content you can't get away with using subpar sets like regen if you're inexperienced/retarded. You want some crowd control and/or good defensives. pick willpower for regen that the regen set used to have pre-nerf or bio armor for a all around solid set. Both might get nerfed by brain soon by the way

>>16530536

>Both might get nerfed by brain soon by the way

Is he a kike AND a slav?

>>16530553

He had a valid point on why they should be nerfed. They are so good why pick the others? I only pick willpower myself because it's that good.

>>16530536

>Both might get nerfed by brain soon by the way

As someone who took regen, I'd rather Brain bring regen up to par with the others than nerf anything. Nothing good ever comes of nerfing.

Are the sg rates at least increased? I recall getting a good amount took a lot of time and bother, with a lot of people.

>>16530558

Nerfing shit is a great way to kill this already microscopic server. Why the fuck wouldn't the idiot buff some of the other powers to bring them in line with Willpower/bio? Nah fuck, let's make everything shit tier.

>>16530562

>>16530560

Buffing is generally not a good idea because of power creep. I do agree that nerfing isn't a good idea right now though.

>>16530560

>>16530562

These. the whole reason other sets are shit is because most got nerfed in the first place.

>>16530571

The devs really did shit the bed with their set nerfs. remember most that were done after the f2p change was intentional to get people to buy new sets

>>16530570

>not a good idea because of power creep

You're not buffing shit across the board. You're buffing specific shit powers to bring them back in line with the actual useful powers. There is no power creep.

>>16530570

the only good reason to nerf things should be because of exploits, not because some autist spent 6 hours making a half decent build in midas. Just bring them back up to par or accept that they're fucked and leave the rest alone.

Tell me what needs to be done and I'll figure out how to do it.

>>16530637

Buffing hp also buffs base regen, inaddition to better alpha survivability, so maybe start with that?

Also are -regen debuffs going to be a problem late game?

I've never played with a regen character so I don't really have the experience to say much.

>>16530577

>>16530584

While power creep doesn't always happen from just buffing one thing, regen unfortunately was just too good. The flaw from the set is it's simplicity, it does one thing really good and unfortunately that one thing is also completely broken. The passive and boosted temp regen it used to provide was overpowered because it worked against everything. It had no real weaknesses so it's either really good and everyone picks it or it's just lackluster at what it does and gets ignored. Willpower and bio armor are so much better that even if the hp regen gets nerfed on them the rest of the kit doesn't make the set useless. Nothing else competed with old regen so restoring it back to it's original state would require every set to be buffed up to make them worth picking in comparison. regen wasn't a well thought out set

>>16530745

Some of the defensive powers of that type were also just pure bullshit by comparison. Regen offered easy modo guaranteed survival that far exceeded anything any of the other powers were able to pull off. Something like Super Reflexes is downright worthless compared to Regen, which made it so Scrappers could out-tank the Tankers.

>>16530745

>>16530779

so give them some mitigation then, instead of making them useless and insist the others follow.

>>16530779

Super Reflexes is actually really good until you get hit that is

>>16530795

You're asking for some random coders, a sperg with a good heart, and a crack team of script kiddies to attempt to rebalance powersets that the actual dev teams couldn't do. I know most corporate dev teams are shit, but my point still stands

>>16530809

That's only part of the problem. The other part is running out of endurance and hearing half a dozen toggles turn off all at once.

>>16530637

>>16530809

An easier way to look at how to balance is to see what people are going for in their IO sets at endgame and make it a little easier to achieve that. With Regen people used to try and shore up defenses/resists to get more mileage out of regen, and to hit perma Dull Pain. Now giving resists and defenses doesn't fit the theme for Regen so I'd start by buffing Dull Pain and reducing it's CD. It should be a small but noticeable change for regen.

>>16530809

then it's back to >>16530584 so not really, it doesn't

>>16530822

the horrors of tanking: no energy defence

Couldn't you just make Regen incredibly endurance hungry? Like if toggles drained 10 stamina a second but were basically activating a personal HoT with almost no cooldown.

That way yeah, regen DOES make you unkillable, but also means you can't do anything else other than survive.

>>16530886

Isn't that DAs schtick?

I'm planning on working this game into my schedule in a couple of weeks and I mainly just wanna solo shit but keep myself open for parties just in case

So long as I had the pure skill, would Dual Pistols/Martial Arts be a fine set for that goal? I've done a bit of research and apparently you can bind Burst of Speed to a macro and quickly close the gap/gain distance, fire off a Ki Blast if needed and go to town on an opponent while looking stylish as fuck. I've also heard that Dual Pistols used to be shit but in i24 got some kinda animation speed-up.

would it also be not total shit in pvp faggotry?

>>16530826

I could turn Dull Pain into a toggle but give it an activation time of 119.75 seconds. This would make the max HP bonus permanent, but only trigger the heal every activation period. I could also just lower the activation time if I were to do that.

>>16530934

Don't most fights end in 2 minutes though?

Reminder to activate the 8chan chat channel. It's the only way for new people to ask to join the SG in game without using normalfag infested channels.

>>16530934

I'd start with it at 119s to see how it feels and go from there.

>>16530981

You'd still have the other regen powers in addition to the toggle.

>>16531003

but the whole point of this is that regen isn't viable anymore. are the others enough to make up for effectively wasting a heal?

>>16531174

I need that sauce, anon, or I'm not telling you about the serb.

>>16532821

Try one of the Flames ones, I think they exist. if not Tribal fits the most in my opinion.

>>16532884

Better, his hair seems more of a rosy blonde.

>>16532909

Looks fine to me. Have you tried looking at belts to emulate his coat tails? There's Imperial Dynasty that hangs like that I think.

Also, you can change your costume later if you like which includes hair, so don't feel like you have to get it perfect the first time.

>>16532924

I don't see Imperial Dynasty on the list. do you mean Imperial Defense?

Either way, what fits God Hand more; Magic or Mutation prototype? Martial Arts or Street Justice primary? Super Reflexes, Regeneration, or Invulnerability secondary? I'm leaning towards Magic, Street Justice, and Super Reflexes, but I can be convinced otherwise.

>>16532931

>prototype

I mean origin.

>>16532931

Try wearing tights first, I know Jackets restrict belt options a lot. It's the Chinese set of items.

I'd say go for Magic. The God Hand is mystical in origin, right? I like Street Justice in general but it might not be Kung Fu enough for you.

Secondary's up to you, Super Reflexes probably work but I don't think they're very good, gameplay-wise.

Can someone send an invite to Azel, by the way? I only now thought of this, excuse me.

>>16533481

Not good/10

>>16533509

They weren't actually, I went through and manually played around with each piece. For example the gloves had red first and black second, whole the chest was the opposite.

>black and red

I like edgy colors combinations, especially on my villains.

>no texture on tights layer

Tried both, looked better without textures imo. >>16533512

>>16534064

Click the super tab and turn on SG mode at the top of the window. It let's you earn currency for the SG to build shit with in the base.

>>16534047

Because I didn't pick super hackerman as a starting perk.

>>16534507

I'd probably get out already if that "PR" faggot wasn't caught shilling reddit servers and claiming that the server he pretends to be helping is "probably" just one multiboxer (I guess it's hard to check for sure if you're too busy circlejerking in dickscord and playing on homocoming instead). Now I'm staying out of obligation until Dr. Brain cucks out.

>>16534507

Willpower is basically a fixed version of Regen. But if you literally only had one idea for a character you'd have gotten bored of the game soon anyway.

>>16533029

would say Street Justice and either Willpower or Super Reflexes.

>>16534101

In case it wasn't clear enough already, Leo is devoid of skill or talent. He didn't even cobble together the server on his own. Instead, he just took all the credit after exploiting and bribing enough people to do it for him. You've seen how quickly redditors will throw themselves ass-first onto his microdick just because he's got the files, which makes him a benevolent genius programmer who must be involved with all projects, even if he will ultimately just end up handing over the actual work to someone else.

>>16534577

Don't get me wrong, I have other character ideas. I just have an excessively low tolerance for repeating the same things in a short period of time and had already worked up to 20. I probably wouldn't mind if I just kept running that one dungeon and leveled in two hours or whatever, but I'm autistic and wasted investments bother me.

On a more general note, the game itself just isn't that fun (out of the gate, that is). It uses the old skill piano layout that WoW and all of its clones are bound to - hell, there isn't even a default attack so you can lock to an enemy and swing. The combat animations tend to be slow, even for attacks that are noted as being 'quick', and that only gets exacerbated when the game decides to lag. I had been willing to put up with this, because experience tells me that end-game lends you a broad enough skill-set to be more active in skill use, and that the better content tends to be there. Which proves a problem for a skill-set that is considered definitively awful in end-game.

Now there are a few ways to circumvent this problem that I know of from the past. The first is to play support role, which is my preferred option anyways (if I'm going to be watching cool-downs like an air-traffic controller watches a screen, I might as well take care of the airplanes). Except the game server and my connection don't seem to agree, and I can't run support if I'm prone to 1-4 second delays; that's how you get a TPK. CC roles might be a good compromise, but (1) I remember it being mentioned that controllers suck ass in this game, and (2) I definitely remember it being said that controllers get annihilated in all solo content.

The character customization is nice. AE is cool to mess around with. Flying is extremely nice. The fact that there isn't a ridiculous crafting mini-game forced on you is something I appreciate. The game has a lot of nice things going for it, but the problems definitely grate after a time.

>>16534594

Yeah we know how incompetent he is. He could have at the very least got some other fag to do it. There's no shortage of 3d modelers or textures artists that would do it, if for nothing else but to just hone their craft. The faggot fails to even do that.

>>16534621

>(1) I remember it being mentioned that controllers suck ass in this game, and

only if you pick powers with absolutely no synergy, and it's more like whoever said that is quite literally pants-on-head retarded.

>(2) I definitely remember it being said that controllers get annihilated in all solo content.

Yep, no doubt about it.

Guess which class is best for solo? **hint: pick Ill/rad*

>>16534640

He was probably afraid because of muh file structure leaks or something equally banal.

>>16534621

>"everything is a job!"

You're a cunt.

>"controllers suck ass!"

Controllers are the backbone of any team they're in.

[spoiler]You might not think it, but Controllers with a certain combination of powers have the second highest base damage potential of any class, only being surpassed by thugs Mastermind, blowing everything else out of the water by a long shot.

That combination is Dark/Storm. Don't tell all the cuckchanners though.[/spoiler]

>>16534640

It's not only that Leo's incompetent, he's a psychopathic control freak. He was literally drawing maps and diagrams of his playerbase's contacts and relationships, like a dastardly movie villain running a secret world domination plot. It's fucking hilarious. Someone who's that paranoid over a goddamn private server for a dead MMO isn't the sort of person who can coordinate and lead productive teams of coders and artists. No wonder Leo couldn't do anything worth a damn in 7 fucking years, while a bunch of random shit-flinging monkeys on the Internet have made faster progress hacking away at the codebase in less than a month.

>>16534874

>He was literally drawing maps and diagrams of his playerbase's contacts and relationships,

This is why I worry every time I make an account for something. How did you find out?

He's nothing, it was an i25 build so it doesn't exist anymore.

>>16536140

Blasters can literally cheese bosses by hiding and shooting them from afar.

>>16535657

Problem happens when you get hit by the whole group at once and die without being able to regen anything. I'd say this is an issue you should solve through CC or having an ally that can buff your resists. I don't really see it as a tanking power anyway, more for damage dealers that want to keep their selves alive. Tankers can't even take it after all.

>>16537176

Does anybody know if two procs in two seperate powers with similar effects can stack?

>>16541378

They can. For example, if you have the mod for ranged attacks that has "chance for build up", and the mod for to-hit buffs that also has "chance for build up", they can both trigger at the same time for a few seconds of +160% damage bonus.

>>16540940

Gee I don't know. It's almost as if he's entirely in charge of their balancing and has a very strong say in the direction of Homecoming's community and development. You know, the biggest server that very recently decided it is now the official unofficial server on discord. Giving him any sort of power is a recipe for allowing him he same bullshit he used to do again. Let's not pretend everyone here plays on the cuckchan server.

>>16548862

As far as I know, /g/ never really took off here and was filled with shitposters and blackpill faggots since its inception. /tech/ is a much better board for that sort of thing, and I think it's more populated as well.

Are any of the epic or non-travel pool powers worth having? Not sure how useful things like spirit ward, arcane bolt, or mastery sets are.

>>16551975

That's sad.

>>16552321

Tactics slotted with a chance for build-up IO proc plus assault looks like it can boost your dps big time.

I'm not sure if vengeance works for pets, but it would be broken if it did.

Perma hasten is a thing if you wanna spam attacks and some of the toggles can give slight defenses if you need them.

Does anybody know if it's a good idea to spread your bonuses out between res and defense or if it's better to just cap all of one side?

>>16552321

Some pools contain powers to revive yourself or allies after death, which may or may not exist in your primary/secondary/epic pools.

Medicine has Aid Self, which you'd have to unlock an ally buffing move first, but is good for healing yourself if you're soft.

Presence might help you out, regardless of archetype.

Patron/Epic pools usually have at least one power to work with whatever your archetype is intended for, and some more.

>>16552395

You'll fare better if you can get near resistance cap while also soft-capping (~48%) all defenses.

>>16552321

Fighting is practically mandatory if you intend to tank, weave and tough are too useful. Leadership auras are all good and they stack. The strength of their effect is based on your archetype however. Defenders have the best ones, after them its Spiders > Controller/Corrupter > Kheldians > Dominator/Mastermind > everyone else. Vengeance can possibly save a group since it gives such a huge defense buff. Combat jumping and acrobatics are useful for archetypes that don't usually have access to status protection. Air superiority can be useful for masterminds if they have mostly melee focused pets. Epic pools are mostly used for utility or their toggles. For example, most epic pools have a toggle that increases resistance to smash/lethal for defenders.

>>16552395

Vengeance does not work off pets unfortunately.

High defense is good but you still need resists in case the enemy gets lucky and hits you with that 5% they will always at least have.

>>16552420

Assuming the enemy doesn't use any to hit buffs and isn't massively overleveling you, you want 45 defense to hit the softcap since there is a floor of 5% and enemies have 50% to hit.

>>16552420

H-how??

I can barely cover either type or positional defenses already, not to mention IO sets are really stingy with res unless you severely gimp almost everything else.

>>16552519

How much resist is a good baseline?

What about regen?

>>16552701

post build pls

>>16552398

>Presence might help you out, regardless of archetype.

Can it? I remember anons making fun of it. Unrelenting is great for a self resurrect, but you need to pick two powers from single target placate, AoE taunt and single target magnitude 3 terrorize, all of which can miss, to get it.

>>16552791

Who knows? I play a tank so I just get as much as I can. Might not need any if your ranged but you'll definitely want a lot if you're melee.

>>16552701

Just gonna point out if you put on walk/stroll then you become self-only and your bodyguard stance does nothing. You don't share damage with that one ninja who isn't attacking.

>>16552841

Just take willpower and six slot taunt or something.

>>16552858

Is the i25 to i24 character port live yet? Haven’t logged in to /coxg/ today.

>>16552841

Yeah I’ve never heard anyone say presence is useful before. I’ve only known role players to take it so they could Batman it up and frighten thugs in Atlas. If I wanted a self Rez I’d take rise of the Phoenix from an epic pool if able.

>>16552791

What AT and power sets? It totally depends on where you’re starting. If your armor has positional defense then you try to get more, if it’s typed defense you focus on that. You’re gonna see some crazy IOed out builds that do it anyway, but mostly people do that shit just for the fun of insane min max tweaking.

General rule is that layering defenses is easier than trying to max something

They're porting in our i25 characters right now

>>16557593

Thanks, guess I'll just wait until later. Was going to be my first time playing since NCSoft put it down so it's not like I can't wait another few hours or a day.

>>16557631

No. No more fucking tourist tranny sjw transplants.

Someone here should volunteer to be his butt buddy.

>>16557879

redditors are actively scaring normalfags away from /coxg/ so i wouldnt worry about it. it would worry me if i thought any of them would take him up on it but they can't live in a world without moderation

>>16558016

turns out importing characters while the server was running was a bad idea, so they're starting over. hopefully be sorted out in the morning.

>>16557879

I tried that via DM during the authserver nonsense and got blocked.

>>16558016

>were

now that they've got carte blanche to immigrate unchecked they'll start demanding things change for them and start shilling the server left and right to get numbers on their side. Then brain caves to his bigbull and it all comes tumbling down.

Color me fucking surprised. Oh man, what a smart idea to push an update and a converter on the same night and on a prime-time Saturday night no less. Genius move, Brain.

>The "official" reddit servers died due to ridiculous infighting

Guess that's what happens when you base your opinions on validation points and when someone doesn't agree with you and you can't take away their validation points you just scorch the earth.

is /coxg/ down?

>>16558287

I thought he was one of us.

>>16558302

see >>16558033

>>16558287

>>16558317

He said something along the lines of "I love you guys from 4chan and 8chan, I visit the threads all the time" in Pocket D yesterday, yet there is not a single mention of the costume contest that he was hosting here, in the cuckchan thread that the server is named after, or even on his bot-infested forum. Any way you try to spin this, whether Big Cuck is involved or not, in the end he's still another discord circlejerker.

How much longer

>>16558490

That's why I keep saying we need a war plan red in case he turns on us.

>>16558796

Only if they're a hot pocket who does it for free.

kind of like how some BOs are cool even if many are shit

>>16556985

I wonder what the demands were.

>>16556972

Eh, more players wouldn't hurt as long as they don't start demanding policing shit.

Server's back online.

Everybody check your character list.

>check cohservers.com

>rebirth still listed, heh

>check the link for giggles

>cityofheroesrebirth.com loads just fine

>supposedly 140 players

Is this a meme? Is it back up or what?

>>16559025

>Eh, more players wouldn't hurt

Fuck you, that's the same faggotry that turned cuckchan into the cuckchan that it is today. More redditors always hurts. "More players" for the sake of having more players is a bad thing.

>>16566797

So the i24 niggers who stole names get to keep them?

When you say MMO you mean like the unfun faggotry that is WoW? Or is this something like RPG version of doom? If the later where can I find the server software as OP only has the client, and there's no details on how to compile/package it.

T. linux user wondering if this has FOSS solution for server and client.

>>16533505

I want to suck his cock while he berates me about my performance, and then fuck me in the ass while explaining how to manage my work better. Then to leave me exhausted and tell me the TPS reports are due at the end of the day or I'm fired

>>16569123

some anons have got this working on wine, didn't seem like too much of a hassle if you're used to wine configuration. no idea about the server but most people are using a virtual machine image

icanhazcox manifest is dead, and it won't let me do anything but quit.

Does anybody else have this problem?

>>16569123

https://ourowiki.ouro-comdev.com/index.php?title=Volume_2_Server_Setup

It's technically not FOSS, just an abandonware leak. Server needs to run in a windows environment with MSSQL. I've successfully compiled and run the server using an ancient copy of WinServer2008 in a VM on a linux desktop machine. The client works fine in linux wine with a bit of tweaking.

>>16571007

Addendum: the guide says you need Visual Studio, but all that's really needed is a 32-bit msbuild environment. So you can cut down on bloat by using the free MS SDK instead.

Any update on the Reddit server situation? Can we expect a flood of refugees? Is it alive again somehow?

>>16578491

>Can we expect a flood of refugees?

I haven't heard anything after "rich guy who was bankrolling the whole thing pulled out due to tranny bitching", but I think it's safe to say we won't be getting a flood of redditors on /coxg/. They're the kind of people who follow crowds, so they'll fuck off to the tranny server for muh server population.

>>16578491

>>16578648

They'll fuck off to Rebirth, only to find that they've gone from a funserver with costumes unlocked and free level 50s handed out to new players to a full progression server where you have to grind to unlock costume pieces.

From there, it's a question of how many will try to stay and change how the server is run with ceaseless bitching and whining, versus how many will leave to look for a server that better suits their tastes, and where that latter number will go. But wherever they go, there isn't a chance in hell they'll go to /coxg/. They've spent too much time telling themselves we're all heartless bigoted transphobic nazi monsters for that.

>>16581382

>>16581480

What was the name of the Reddit server that shut down? I thought it was Rebirth.

>>16583255

Rebirth? More like Still-Birth

Post solo builds.

>>16583117

ahahahahahahahaha

that's one of the dumbest things i've seen in a while. that's doable in theory but nobody gives enough of a shit to code something that is only needed if tranny related drama blows up your server and nobody kept a valid copy of the login database

>>16583255

it was called pleiades, and most of the redditors didnt know it existed

>>16530459

i hate how WoWbabies try to turn all the games they go to into WoW. Unfortunately they succeeded so almost all games are shit.

>>16583481

Oh. I thought Rebirth was the "Reddit server" and Pleiades was the "tranny server" but I suppose they're more or less the same thing.

>old characters are back

My quest for butts continues anew

>>16567815

Ah shit I saw you the other day. Really enjoyed your character so I wanted to throw you a SG invite.

Gonna be attempting to get a Mothership raid in RWZ together tonight at 8pm EST on /coxg/

>>16588249

Fuck I missed it.

also why did the server name change?

>>16588268

It changed from Unstoppable to Triumph to its appropriate name, /coxg/. I still think Reichman would have been lovely.

>>16588285

I dunno I kinda liked the low key maga reference.

>>16583632

rebirth is the tranny discord server, pleiades was the tranny reddit server, with so many trannies it was always confusing. 99% of redditors play on homecoming anyway.

anybody know why the creamsoda manifest URL is throwing a 500 error? the site (thunderspy.com) is still up. keeps creamsoda from working at all.

Which, if any, of the patron power pools is useful to a dark melee/regen scrapper? Scrappers seem to only get access to a handful of ranged attacks while other archetypes get more useful shit like damage resist toggles. It feels like I might be better off picking from the epic power pools.

>>16588804

Ranged archetypes get resistance toggles to round out their relatively shit survivability. Scrappers get ranged attacks and some minor crowd control with exception to Soul Mastery which gets a periodic defense steroid (roughly 30% if memory serves).

Found a bug.

Shiet. Please don't stop these, I may be able to tag along eventually.

>>16590274

>stuck at work during the first one

I'll try to get in on the second one, then, unless it requires that you participated in the first to get in on it.

>>16590910

Are you running the client on Linux? If so, use winetricks to install dinput and dinput8. Also try using winecfg to set the emulated OS to WinXP.

Why is the server always dead? 3090 accounts my ass.

>>16591840

Accounts and active players are two extremely different things. The vast majority of those accounts are people who tried the game, didn't like it, and dropped it.

>>16591908

And the only servers with more than 3 people playing ban you for calling someone a niggerfaggot?

>>16591912

Yes, but regardless of what people on the tranny server are saying, the simple fact is that /coxg/ has enough active players to run the big raids. We did it just last night.

>that SHTF music

If they kept this shit up for the later levels then everyone wouldn't abandon contacts as soon as possible.

also green is best insp.

>>16530515

>but he's a tanker right? aren't those supposed to handle everything and their dog simultaneously?

No, you WoWbaby. This isn't really a tanker-healer-dmgdealer game. Also, he's a Brute, not a Tanker and so has less base HP in exchange for better damage.

Also, Regen was a toggle set in the begining and was switched to recharge powers (mostly) because it was far, far too powerful for a melee defense set. The frustration and babytears he cries are because he is trying to play the game in a manner in which it was not intended. Rather than come at the situation with intelligence and practicality, he bitches like a little wowbitch.

>>16530575

Regen was balanced out far before F2P shit. Also, they buffed quite a few sets because they were subpar. Grav control went through pretty substantial buffs for instance. On the other hand, Invinc was pounded into the dirt with nerfs and is still pretty solid.

>>16593837

>>16593843

that's because resists are king. also time to let it go already.

>>16593575

I think a bigger issue with the later contacts is that unless it's specifically a hero or villain mission, it plays out exactly the same regardless of your alignment. For example, the Talons of Vengeance quest line is identical whether you run it as a hero or villain. I can only think of one time I noticed even a minor difference in the dialogue between factions when I'm doing shit in cooperative zones like the Rikti War Zone or First/Night Ward. In sharp contrast, doing tips was great. Going from hero to villain was a wild ride with my character going from squeaky clean hero to the Punisher to trying to mind control a heroine for the greater good and totally not for my own personal pleasure.

I wonder if Brain still lurks. Hey Brain, you here?

>>16594867

can you go back and forth between hero and vigilante or do you have to go full circle?

>>16596074

I'm pretty sure you can just go back to hero from vigilante by doing more tips and picking the heroic choices. There's not much point in doing that aside from getting access to the Rogue Isles for a bit, though. None of the villain side contacts will talk to you unless you go full villain first.

>>16596098

I just want to be able to team with both blues and reds. I'll probably just make a villain for villain stuff.

>>16596077

v2:i1 is i24 with a bunch of bug fixes. No idea what i26 is all about.

>>16596365

reminder

>>16596642

I thought leandro's server was homecoming. I can't believe he'd give out server files for his own builds to other servers.

>>16596726

AFAIK Leo's never released any compile-ready source code for his builds, only binaries. Any server files that faggot control-freak gives out is probably riddled with spyware, backdoors, and all sorts of other pozz.

>new update

>apparently some contacts were broken and now fixed

>all I had to do was wait a day instead of giving up and moving on.

So I managed to get this working, got through the tutorial, and now I'm seeing that the global chat is dead.

Do we have peak hours on /coxg/ settled and iI was just on at a lucky time or are things more or less organized entirely through this?

>>16532544

Definitely no.2 but as the other anon said. Add the scarf.

>>16601886

now's about a good time

>>16596726

>I thought leandro's server was homecoming.

It is.

>I can't believe he'd give out server files for his own builds to other servers.

The Argentine fudgepacker only released the i25 binaries to get everyone in the community off his back, after all the skeevy shit he did.

Yes. Being in Super Group mode will half your income but give it to the SG, which uses funds to create items to be used in the SG base like teleporters.

>>16607180

To expand on this, it scales up to half as you level. Additionally at or near max level, you get so much infamy from killing enemies it's not really noticeable.

Is it possible to make inf from the AH or is farming for recipes the only way to get good set IOs right now?

Does anyone have a link to the open web access to the /coxg/ server so we can check how many players it has easily? It was posted in the last thread, but I couldn't get it to work.

What does the absorb proc in preventive medicine actually do?

All I can find are reddit explanations for the meaning of the word itself.

>>16616530

After its timer expires, you will more or less simply dodge the next hit.

>>16616557

That's kinda nice but aren't iframes more of a realtime combat thing? Is it even useful in cox?

>>16616562

CoH is a numbers-autism game, not an action game.

>>16616570

Seems pretty useless to only dodge one random hit especially when you actually need it you're usually getting mobbed.

>>16616574

Consider its effect over the course of a long battle. You're basically mitigating an unpredictable percentage of enemy damage over a long fight due to it going off at predictable intervals.

>>16616584

I could do the same with a (((predicatable))) effect using the hp/end procs and more regen.

but does it really make a difference?

>>16616624

>not using them all

>>16616530

It does exactly what is says in the description. When you're under a certain hp threshold you have a chance every 5 seconds to gain some absorption. Absorption is like an extra layer of health that damage has to go through before it starts reducing your actual health again. Under 30% it has 100% chance to proc. From what I've seen the absorption is about 20% of your health. It's really good for tanks since it basically a last ditch heal but I can't imagine it's that great for squishier classes that will likely die anyway.

>>16616947

>an extra layer of health

how much, for how long, and does it stack is what I've been trying to find out.

>>16616983

ignore that first part. 20% more health is good but with the slots I have left I need that 30% regen more.

Unless you mean 20% of total HP and not base, which makes it pretty awesome.

>>16617063

Not sure actually. I have a few accolades increasing my health so it might actually be 25% instead. The barrier lasts long enough for enemies to work through it themselves even with my hueg resistances. It won't stack since it has 90 second cooldown. It should stack with other absorption sources like bio armor or nature affinity stuff.

>>16617090

how hueg we talking?

>>16617063

It's 20% of your total HP.

>>16617180

interesting. where can I find this number?

>>16617179

I'm talking 90% hueg.

Dungeons and Dragons Anon, we played your map. Fuck Blue Dragons. Fuck them to hell. We were completely blindsided by them at the very spawn and we were all laughing by how unexpected it was, but then we lurched through it with 7 folks and then 6 when one of our guys had to go. Either you added more units than when I mentioned last or I wasn't high enough to see the additional variety, but we had a lot of fun. It was a bit long about 3/4 the way through, so some more unique elements like the occasional patrols or ambushes you have would be nice. The return to exit though on completion? Bro, come on. The Dungeon is clear. No threats, unless you add some when you finish objectives to warrant returning on foot. Otherwise, it was enjoyable. Thank you for it.

>>16617641

Yeah, there's a few more unique units than last time. I haven't touched the game for a number of days, though - I got a bit busy in meat-space.

For the patrols and ambushes, there's a limit on how many unique things you're allowed to stick in. I think I maxed out on the number of "things" that could be shoved into that one. As for the return through exit, that's more a love-letter to old-school gaming, where getting out of the dungeon was usually in and of itself. That, and since the "objective" is just getting the treasure, it's also expected that there's still things crawling around.

AE is nice because it randomizes a lot, so you can run the same place multiple times, and it should come out a little different each time. But this also means you have a lot less control. I'd really love to be able to have some control over the walk-paths of the wandering patrols, and to hand-place the dragons so they're more of a "you asked for it". Especially since they really are cunts.

What's the best way to get and catalyse ATOs on this server?

>>16619448

Well the only way to get them is through reward merits realistically. Are you having trouble finding good sources of merits or do you need inf?

>>16619547

I'm guessing I'll need a farmer.

What's this non-special piece the wiki page is talking about?

Jewish magic shit, apparently a requirement for non-profits probably the very nice lady saying how everyone's doing this, so that means you have to.

<Tldr; talk to IRS lady. Very friendly. We are all good on everything but she wants me to file a corporate meeting form/board meeting form with a focus on charity work for kids play the video game(Cox) as the goal to keep it relevant.

Casual "intro to PvP" event in about 30 mins on CoXG.

Gonna be starting with a free for all limited to level 21.

So how did the PvP event go? Anyone here manage to try it out?

>>16657926

It lasted less than 30 minutes because everybody had less stamina than the average dota player.

>>16657926

We did stuff for three hours, about half of it was arena free for alls and about half was gladiator matches. fun was had

>>16658329

>We did stuff for three hours

I think I can see your nose from here.

>>16658464

we had about 10 people from 9pm-12am, some cycled in and out but we had 9 consistently.I don't really care if you believe me or not.

>>16657926

It was kind of lame and I wish we did actual pvp instead.

>>16659575

Didn't like the gladiator stuff? we did a few free for all matches earlier on.

wait when did they rollback those characters from leos i25?

>>16663012

On cogx? the i25 characters were transferred over like two weeks ago

>>16663012

Almost a whole month ago. About June 9th.

Watch out guys, we might have to make a new thread in the next month or two.

Can you be a perma rogue/vigilante or do you have to pick a side?

>>16673941

You can be an inbetween as long as you like, but there are certain contact missions you can't do unless you're an actual villain or hero.

I think you have to be a villain to follow an Arachnos patron arc, and can't unlock the Patron Power Pools until you do so. So if you want Mako's Leviathan mastery you gotta slit a few throats. I think.

>>16673941

>@everyone @here server is down for alittle while until I can receive my new PayPal business card to pay for the rise 4. I was pickpocketed on Saturday as some of you know and in that process I had to report all my debit/credit cards stolen obviously.

>OVH only takes payments via debit card atm so that means I have to wait until I get the new card within the next 10 days or so, pay them for the rise 4 and transfer the server over. What's odd is I Iet OVH know this prior but they still suspended service until we pay the rise 4 bill.

>Sorry for the inconveniences guys. I'll be looking into alternatives today to get the money from PayPal and my bank to OVH.

So expect for it to be down for the next 10 days or more, unless Brain can work out an alternative payment method.

>>16680869

>10 days

And this is why I had hoped 4chas would become the preferred server. I doubt it's still up, anyway, and the method to login that I had been using just makes the client crash for some reason, but it would have been nice to fuck with oddball power set combos until /cogx/ is back up.

>>16680902

>4chas

what is this?

>>16683114

I don't remember the exact details, but it goes something like this. When it became apparent that trannycuck sever was going to be administrated by Leandro, someone posted here about using company contacts to get old server hardware for free to run a Leandro free server. The big thing about this server is that the guy would never have to worry about server costs since he owned the hardware itself. The only cost to him would be the electricity required to run it and ISP related costs. This server was 4chas. For some reason, everyone referred to it as a temporary solution and refused to play on it, probably because they wanted to pull in trannycuck numbers and the 4chas sever would never be that.

>>16683114

I was wondering this as well. The server that someone set up in his office before /coxg/ and the various other shards were up, maybe?

>>16683173

probably because he wasn't as big of a dicksword faggot as big brain and the gang.

>>16683173

>For some reason, everyone referred to it as a temporary solution and refused to play on it, probably because they wanted to pull in trannycuck numbers and the 4chas sever would never be that.

The 4chas guy said when he set up the server that he'd only have the hardware for about a month. He's the one who first called it a temporary solution.

>>16675810
