    Do -not- sign off of your character on Virtue if you want to keep playing on Virtue. I logged off, and can't get back to my character select screen now.

    I say make one of each, then try to get both up to level 5 and get a jet pack as quickly as possible. Then you're pretty well set for whatever teams happen to start up.

    Adding that sentence to the OP would be a pretty good idea.

    To correct an issue with the Virtue Server, we will be restarting that server at apx 12:20 PM Pacific (3:20 PM Eastern). The server should only be unavailable for a brief period of time. Our apologies for the interruption.

    Hopefully "a brief period of time" /= another hour of server maint.

    I don't.

    The cheerleaders at my school were fugly.

    So I was messing around with Mach's build with Mid's builder (which is awesome, btw; why didn't I download this earlier?), and it turns out I can get him to damn near perma-hasten. I believe Hasten was down for all of eleven seconds or so. God bless IO sets.

    How much recharge bonus do you have to have? I'm guessing more than 80% in bonuses.

    Yeah, looking at the numbers I'm at 142.5% recharge. Subtracting the 70% hasten itself provides, that's 72.5%. The magic number is presumably 80%.

    I'm at 112.5% recharge with nehell with hasten, according to mid's my down time for hasten is around 20 seconds or so which isn't to bad.

    Edit - Forgot to mention that I have 42.5% recharge bonuses from IOs.

    Hmm, if 112.5% = 20 seconds, and 142.5% = 11 seconds, maybe the magic number's higher than I estimated. If only I wasn't so bad with math and my mathematician brother wasn't living in Africa.

    There was a good post regarding a perma-hasten build in the controller forums. Looks like you need so much recharge (I want to say that 92.5% in addition to hasten being 6-slotted) that just about the only character than can get it done is a Mind/FF controller, and the slotting is so tight that it's just not worth it. Plus, at that point, you've got so much +recharge passively, that you might as well just drop hasten.

    Lots of builds can get down to a 20-30 second downtime, though.

    Yeah, I'm certainly not going to bend over backwards to make Mach perma-hastened. This was mostly an experiment thanks to this designer's bonus-number readouts.

    Though I would totally be working at it if I had an Elec Brute. Lightning Reflexes + Hasten? Yes please.

    I would think SR Scrappers/Stalkers and Elec Armor brutes with their passive recharge boosts can probably do it fairly easily too.

    Hell, there are people on the Dominator boards who've figured out how to have perma-domination, but it seems like a hell of a lot of trouble to do it.

    Woo, so I finally broke the lvl 10 cap. I've never had a CoH/CoV character pass 10.Now I've got an zombie pirate robot fire ice blaster, who's lvl 11! All thanks to the PA folks and grouping up with me. The game is 1 beeeellion times funner with folks to play with. Now to convince my cousin of this, he's on the mind set that we have to duo everything, and I'm having a hard time talking him into the fact that this isn't WoW. If you fill a party up, and just kill everything in site, it's better than having "tactics" and killing some things in sight.

    What scrapper talk was that?
    I've got myself a Claws/Dark scrapper that I've been pretty happy with. Only like lvl7, but I'm happier with him than the Dark/Reflex scrapper I first made.
    Heh, dark/reflex scrapper was the first character I ever made...still have him over on Champion server.

    I miss this game. I'm thinking about resubbing since I am getting bored with my other MMOs. Anything major change from I6 or 7?

    EDIT: I mean powerset wise? I was a Stone/Stone tank hero and A brute I don't really recall.

    EDIT the second: Man I was a month away from qualifying for Demon/Angel wings :(

    Thanatos: Depending on how long you played before, and if it was at the right time, veteren rewards! Also lots of new stuff on both sides costume wise. Not to mention, if you had a 35-50, the newly rename Rikti Warzone.

    Sonelan: Well that sucks D: , but powerset wise I'm not 100% sure what has changed, however Invention Enhancements were added in a patch not long ago, along with salvage. I like Invention stuff personally, especially when it comes to the special costume pieces. Piston Boots, which show a kind of uplifting of dirt when you hit the ground from jumping. Rocket Boots which... well, are all rockety when you fly. Winged Boots which... not sure what the hell they do. Then there are the wings, Bone, Burned Dragon, Fairy, Insect, Cherub Devil and Tech, might be another I missed.

    Sounds awesome. Sadly i am probally booted from both SGs by now. I always wanted rocket boots for my robot guy.

    I bet I have at least a few hours of patching to do once i get CoV installed (My CoH discs have disappered so no hero for me this time round I guess :x )

    I've got a dark/energy brute. They're kinda light in the defense department, but they have alot of flexibility (ie. You've got a self heal, a damage/accuracy buff, two endurance drains/recovery attacks, a fear based hold, and the capacity to accuracy debuff). Not to mention, once you get energy drain from the energy aura powerset fully slotted you'll be one of the few brutes that can continuously attack and quite literally never EVER run out of endurance.

    There's always room in the SGs for actives. Just let someone know in the global channel and we'll get you back in.

    Synapse TF

    - Ghostalker 50 NRG/NRG blaster or Kjeldor 30something Empathy/Dark Defender.
    - Tempest Phantom 50 ILL/STORM controller or any of my other characters.
    - Scooter 16 GRAV/STORM controller
    - Megaguy X 23 NRG/NRG Blaster
    - Brother Iron 17 NRG/NRG Blaster
    - Wanton Disregard (hopefully) 15 Fire/Axe Tank (<--Mercy)
    - Gear Blaster/Controller/Scrapper/Pb as a tank..whatever is needed and will only fill a spot if there is one and no one else wants it.
    - Gouka? blaster/scrapper/scranker whichever we need.
    -Mysst 26 AR/DEV dammit, I was the first to respond!

    Just as a reminder tonight at 6 pm PST there is a Synapse TF scheduled. We're probably run two teams unless a bunch of people are no shows and there's no additional interest.

    We are also not calling them Team 1 and Team 2. That' just dumb.

    Depending on if I get on tonight, and what you need, I might join in. I can bring a tank, a scrapper--hell, if I get on early enough to rebuy all his enhancements, I could bring my controller.

    Are there any exemp benefits, though, geared towards IOs/salvage? If so, I'd rather bring along DM.

    You get IO items at the level of the enemies you're fighting, so it's only useful if you want to make lowbie IOs for the badges.
