can someone catch me up on how the archetypes are now
like, last time I played, masterminds were mediocre and stalkers were shit after they blew their Hide
how are all the guys
particularly, how are Masterminds in general,
how do Stalkers, Brutes and Scrappers stack up against each other
and how do Corruptors and Blasters compare
I don't mean "well one has higher damage primaries," I mean how are they in terms of balance
I think stalkers are still pretty weak, but I'm pretty sure they fixed the issues with masterminds. Most classes outside of like, defenders and the squids are pretty viable.
masterminds have gotten some quality of life upgrades; your pet buffs are now aoe abilities, and some of the powers in the secondaries were buffed to make them easier to use (ex: mastermind twilight grasp got a bigger aoe.) Your pets cross loading screens with you now, I think. On the other hand most of the structural disadvantages still exist; pet AI is still dumb and relying on pets still leaves you a lot less mobile than the other ATs.
I hardly ever see stalkers anymore, and when I do they're always weird concept builds. They did get buffed at some point so they're more useful now than they were, but still outclassed by scrappers and brutes. I think scrappers in general are considered superior to brutes, but it's mostly a question of what sets you want to use, how you want to build the guy, and whether you like fury or not.
Blasters are slowly going the way of the dinosaur. Corruptors, dominators and even defenders are a lot more useful in higher end content, and the way the game is now pretty much any AT can pump out lots of damage if you want it to.
it was the smallest on the list but
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
I think I found what I want to play. Gravity/Sonic controller. The sonic powerset is fun. It makes a very satisfying noise. That's really my criteria. The ice sound effects are so ooooooold.
Same reason I don't like the mace powerset.
I have a warhammer and it sounds like I am striking with a steak knife.
I've made a couple new characters after unlocking one of my 50's. Still kinda miffed that my IO's don't work anymore, but it is what it is.
I made a sexy ass demon brute chick with Super Strength and Fire because I am a creepy nerd. I'll probably play some more when I ain't Battlefielding. I need to buy those witch costume pieces.

it's got some really ballin' shoulder pieces also
if you're into that whole metroid prime look

I DIDN'T
BUT IT USED TO BE FREE
wonder what happens if I unlock a character with those pieces already on

is dual blade any good? I think I've tried most or all of the other scrapper/brute primaries
I've never tried fire either hummm
hum humm
I still like my elec/elec brute a lot. She kinda has a Mega Man character kind of look.
I think I saw a screenshot of that character in the CoX thread over in the MMO forum.
Actually I think most of the character screens I've seen in that thread are from you, Shoe.
bringing 'em back
That first guy's name is Offsides. He's a demonic football player.
just claws
i get it
woot.
all of my names are gold
GOLD, JERRY
Kinda surprised you didn't go with Red Rocket.
that got cancelled swiftly
He's a huge blue and gold clockwork dressed like a cop
complete with mustache
Well you took Green already, but I can be Blue Rocket.
I'm pretty pumped. Playing CoH with GnT people back in the day got me to actually start posting on the forums.
agh
I hate MMOs.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
A tribute to the second character I ever made which was viciously deleted by a family member years ago.
I think I'll be going with that.
I have characters that are 2,500+ days inactive that still have their names.
also regarding sets
fire is awesome, especially if you can get fiery aura
because burn is like my favorite power in the whole fuckin' game
and yeah the last time they did a namepurge was like, five years ago or something
they really should do another one
