Various bits from the boards that I’ve missed over the past days:
- A mini-FAQ on Prestige and Bases. The various Alliance groups were quite busy building and chatting about them yesterday, so I suppose the CoJ needs to gets its act online. That said — paying monthly rent? In person? Yeesh. The more I look at this, the more annoying bases (even if you don’t make them raidable) become.
Various red-name responses follow further down. Individual/personal bases (apartments) are coming, evidently. And the claim from poz is that Infamy (Influence) tapers down in favor of Prestige when in SG mode until you hit 35 or so when it goes to 0 — but that doesn’t fit what I saw with Psi-clone last night. Hrm. - Statesman on ED and how it tested out. Yes, things are supposed to be more difficult and require more teaming (for AVs, at least) and active participation, at least in the (affected) 25+ world (States says it only really affects SOs), and to ensure that Controller/Defender buffs are always valuable. Numerous follow-on messages. “There’s a problem if folks are making large teams and then abandoning them after entering missions just to increase spawn size.” Also coming up — a way to abandon missions (once “newspaper” technology gets introduced to CoH).
- AI limits on herding. The magic number is 17, period.
- You can cash in Influence for Prestige, at a rate of 500:1.
- Suggestions on soloing with Brutes. Scroll to the top. Accuracy and Rest are your friends, evidently — though Rest and Smash seem incompatible.
- A new Brute power, as previewed in the “trailer” movie for CoV …
