we needed this post will add my villians and such when i get home from work

[Eilim]

Uafasach - 25 - DM/Regen Scrapper : Hopefully 26 a little later this afternoon. This guy will see 99.9% of my playing time until 50 most likely. While I've yet to completely flesh out his RP backstory, I'm completely loving playing him. Having said that, I have no problem sidekicking/exemplaring him to help anyone out. Basically point him at something you want dead, give him a little bit of time to punch the heck out of the bad guys face, rinse and repeat.

Oh, and beware, Uafasach is a bit vain, and very much a fashion whore. I blame it on insane luck with costume piece drops (5 so far). I think I'm lucky to go a day without changing something on one of his two outfits.
---

Third Man In - 2 - Ice/Ice Tanker : Will get some levels into him once I plan out the build a bit more. A completely gimmick character based on my love of old school hockey thugs. Will have fun RPing this one.
---

Cool Stare - 5 - Ice/Ice Blaster : The character inspired by my love of comic books. Will play him a bunch and hopefully create others like him once I get Uafasach topped out.
---

MHL-III - 2 - Invul/Fire Tanker: My gratuitous "Big Ass Robot" character, who doesn't love big ass robots that shoot fire and fight crime?

[hoosierdude]

Are the sysreqs for COV different than COH? Just wondered.

They run off the same client.

[condors]

some zones are rougher on pcs than others, also if you group with a bunch of master minds you can get all kinds of lag espcially in an archanos base mission map(at least it seems to lag me all to heck anyways)

What is a costume piece drop? I had a couple of dual-origins drop, and one was called visor, but is that a costume drop? Does it change your appearance?

[Eilim]

The costume piece drops are recipes that add more options in the clothes store. Some of the pieces can sell for a couple mil, but my vanity got the better of me and I created them. So far I've gotten the Tech wings, Piston boots, Wing boots,rocket boots, and one other wings set, I think demonic or draconic.

The last is what helped me go a different route with my backstory using a look designed with the wings as my "true form" from another plane. Decided it was a bit more villainous than heroic and scrapped that as one of my looks, but am fleshing out the backstory it inspired a bit and going to see if it sticks.

Edit to add:

If you do get a costume drop and want to sell it, *do not* create the recipe and then try to sell it. Once the recipe is created, the item disappears and option is added to your store. also, its just for that character and not a global addition.

[sachmo71]

How much did they cost to make?

[Eilim]

Can't remember offhand. I think they ranged from 15000 to 30000 inf, but I may be way off. Some of the salvage tends to be pricey at the moment for some of them but you can luck out and get them on the cheap (as I'm a packrat I actually had all but one item and it was cheap enough.)

If you ever need a particular piece of salvage or some inf, just let me know. I'm far from rich, but I'm hooked enough on the game I make the money back quick enough. The benefit of going with just common IOs until I can figure out the insanity that is IO set bonuses. Although sometimes I make up for it with all my damn outfit changes.

[larrymcg421]

Good stuff. Thalgor is up to lvl10 now.

[Eilim]

Just to show even how much of a addicted dweeb I am, I just switched over my BF2142/Live for Speed teamspeak server for use in CoH.

For anyone interested, you can grab TS Here.

TS server info:

TeamSpeak Server IP: 69.93.249.242
Server Port: 8858
Password: fofc

Warning, been a while since I've used it, so my mic levels might need adjustment.

[condors]

more hero info
Spinaltap is currently 5
Keane level 7 tanker
Muskrat 5 scrapper

Villians
Miss Trickster 3 mastermind
Crimemind 3 dominator
Ampawatt 2 Brute

[Brillig]

Here's an idea - how's about everyone join a FOFC global chat channel?

Right click on the chat tab, select Edit Tab.

Select Join Channel.

In the Pop-up Box, (might be hidden underneath the Edit Tab box, move it around if you don't see it), type FOFC.

That's a Global setting, so from now on all your characters will join the FOFC channel on login. However, they won't have the channel added to the existing chat tab - you still need to go through the Edit Tab dialog on each new character to add the channel to the ones displayed.

Alternatively, you can create a new tab just for FOFC chat - although I don't think there'll be so much that it'll be a problem.

Talking on a global channel is simple, you can either set the channel to your default through the Edit Tab dialog, or just use "/send [channelname] message". I.e.

/send FOFC Werewolves Rule!

To make things simpler, there's a handy key-bind:

/bind numpad0 beginchat /send FOFC [$name]

This binds the 0 on your number pad (feel free to use other keys if you don't like that one), to "/send FOFC [$name]". As long as the keyboard focus isn't in the chat bar, hitting numpad0 will move it there, and pre-pend "/send FOFC (whatever your current charname is)" People often use the $name in global channels because your default identifier in the global channels is your global chat handle, which doesn't tell anyone what you're currently playing.

[Eilim]

Just wanted to say I had a blast hunting with Kieran, the big blue sardine can.

Just checked and got a bunch of nifty drops, including yet another costume piece, insect wings. *happy dance* After a short rest break, will continue my marathon weekend and hope to see some of you others on.

As a side note, those beasts we were killing were *not* my beloved Tuatha de Danaan, just some abomination going by the name... It is now my mission to eradicate the blasphemers from the face of Croatoa. And the mighty Fir Bolg the Tuatha battled were monstrous giants, *not* giant pumpkin heads. All I kept thinking of was Charlie Brown and the great pumpkin while we were fighting them.

[cuervo72]

Insect wings...nice. I've still only ever gotten three costume pieces - piston boots, and winged boots twice.

[larrymcg421]

Created Super Shamrock to start him over again on the Virtue server. He's a grav controller and is now at Level 6.

[SirFozzie]

I have to figure out how to redownload the client, (or ugh.. rebuy it).. then I will be back on

[Brillig]

If you go to your account info on the PlayNC site, there's a download client link, under Game Account Details/Actions

[MrBug708]

DO you need COV to play?

[sachmo71]

no, you just don't get to play a villan.
isn't the character transfer util running?

[SirFozzie]

Have a bunch of semi-started characters on Virtue. New character: Warbore (Tank)

[MrBug708]

I just re-upped my account right now; Virtue is it?

[MrBug708]

Yikes...four hours to update?

[SirFozzie]

Virtue is always two dot and extremely slow for me, can we try another server?

It was great teaming with you too! How far did you get? I am almost 28.

[Eilim]

A block into 29 now, funny thing is I got 29 on that hell mission in croatoa. I knew I'd fail, so just went around killing as many as I could before the 30 escaped.

Will probably start sleeping mornings so I can catch some of you guys playing at night now. Will miss having my run of the zones though as its pretty quiet in paragon city in the afternoon.

Oh, and any younger characters (10-14 range) who haven't done the "Rescue Missing Fortune Teller " mission, if you don't mind a slightly over-leveled scrapper tagging along (would even exemplar down to lend a hand) it would be appreciated as the spelunker badge is all I have left to earn my Atlas medalion. Sure its only 5 endurance, but every little bit counts.

We used to be on Victory, but that made the game less fun for me, since I always found it very difficult to find a teammate, which has never been a problem on Virtue. It can get really slow, especially when you're in Atlas Parkwith tons of other characters. But when you get to the other zones, it's much less of a problem.

[larrymcg421]

dola
I now have:

Super Shamrock up to lvl 10
Thalgor up to lvl 11

and a Villain named Yrral. He's a lvl 6 mastermind.

[MrBug708]

So maybe I'm doing something simple wrong but I cannot seem to log in as it says username/password wrong???

[larrymcg421]

Should be the same as your PlayNC username/password.

[MrBug708]

Figured it out

[Uncle Briggs]

I've got 3 on virtue:

Gravity Waves, lvl 18 gravity/radiation controller
Mr. Bubble, lvl 18 force field/radiation defender
Uncle Briggs, lvl 19 kinetic/dark defender

I think I've been on a team with Kieran before. Don't recognize anybody else.

[sachmo71]

Don't forget to use the @FOFC channel when you are on! I talked to Brillig for a little while yesterday, which was fun. I think it might help with teamups, though.

It's a 2.3GB exe.

[sachmo71]

Also found out...Virtue is considered more of a roleplay server. So I think I'm staying.

[MrBug708]

Ya, I had about three this size but at 2 in the morning I was getting 4mb a second

[MrBug708]

Now if I could get my mouse cursor to show up

[MrBug708]

Any suggestions on what character I should get? I used a scrapper before and dont mind that character at all but I'm down for anything really

[MacroGuru]

I have COH but I am not able to get on much, I will logon and see if I am on Virtue or what..

[SirFozzie]

my tank's l4, but I see we're really low on scrappers, so I'll start one tonight.

[SirFozzie]

Created Galeanna, Lv1 Scrapper, will try to get to Level 5-6 tonight

[MrBug708]

Jumping on for a bit right now as The Insatiable Fire Bug

[Eilim]

Well, reached 30 last night with "The Courageous Lone" Uafasach. Most of it being gained hunting with Keiran once again. (Can't thank ya enough, I blast through missions with ease when I have the big blue tuna can at my side. I might even have to kick the difficulty up a couple more notches when we're teamed.)

Got myself hasten,which so rocks.. Smooths out my self-imposed gimped attack chain. Didn't want to dip into a power pool attack knowing I could make it to 32 without it even if not the most efficient. Didn't really want to build for a respec not knowing if I would ever get a group to do the respec trials.

Anyways, the most important feature of 30. The third outfit! Woot! I have my hero gear, my normal citizen gear, and now the new and improved "Heavy Armor" gear. The new gear will be busted out for Rikkti attacks when dealing with heavies/bombs and any other missions dealing with either big robots, or other huge firepower bad guys. Might also have to use it for any natural hostile environments if there are any zones like that.

Well, off to play my mastermind. A fun character even if insanely overpowered. And yes, I am hopelessly addicted to the damn game now.

I have to say that when teamed with you my missions go by so much better it feels like i clicked the easy button, enjoy the mastermind they are alot of fun

[MrBug708]

When is everyone playing?

[larrymcg421]

I think it'd be pretty cool for us to pick a day and time each week (or every other week) to all play at once, starting with fresh characters, like make it a regular thing, but the characters we create be only for that purpose (i.e. no soloing to screw up the levels.)

[sachmo71]

I can play most evenings. I don't think it would be necessary to start brand new characters, but we could pick some and designate them as not soloable. The exemplar\sidekick system works really well for getting people up to roughly the same levels.

[condors]

i usually play 3:30pm est till 5:30pm est mon-thurs and sometimes a quick mission or two before work, the next couple days i will be working late so i probally will not be around. Weekends is up in the air. Sometimes i will go on a gaming marathon (wife going out with mom i got nothing on tap) other times i won't even sit down in front of my pc all weekend.

[Brillig]

I think I can scratch up a spare slot for a FOFC group if we're making one. As for times... I can make most times that everyone else is available, I expect.
