Another Self Enforced Break

My subscription expires... TODAY... and I won't be returning until at least Aug 4th, 2010, which is 2 weeks from today. That would give me enough time to start prepping for the Going Rogue launch on the 17th, so I will be back for sure.

I'm taking a break for the same reasons as last time, namely, I need to get some work done and gaming is a distraction.

Even though I'm taking a break from the game, I'm not going to take a break from this site. It will give me time to update the site a bit more (I have tons of screenshots that I've been meaning to post), but have been distracted by what else? Gaming of course.

So I'll see you all in 2 weeks.

City Comics: COH Fansite

I've been kicking around this idea for a while, to start my own web site with an actual domain. The site is based on my characters and the fictional comic store that my main hero, Ms Ann owns called City Comics. I can technically create another blogspot blog, but I prefer to be able to control how I design my blog as opposed to being limited to what blogspot has to offer. I want it to be on its own domain because it's more personalized that way, dontcha think?

I've actually created a City Comics website years ago, hosted on 50webs, but it has since lapse in any kind of activity or updates. I'll probably be moving most of the content over to whatever I decide to do.

I found it really fun then to do all sorts of creative stuff for my characters and that made it that much more fun and interesting to play. And as always, this is a great diversion to doing any actual work lol.

So what do you think?

Zetsumei's New Look

This is just something fun I wanted to post... the new look of my Villain main, Zetsumei, a Ninja/Poison Mastermind. I haven't posted much about her on this blog because she has reached level 50 a long time ago (within a month of COV going live), her build and my playstyle with her is just perfect in my eyes, and I do not play her as often as I would like, so it just never came up. Either way, I'm pretty darn proud of her and I rather enjoy playing Zetsumei when I do.

Background Story:
I never wrote an actual background story for her, but she does have one.

The synopsis is that her outward appearance is of a 20-something, beautiful, young, wealthy woman, who belongs to one of the most rich, powerful, and vicious yakuza family in Japan. This family also has noble bloodlines dating back from ancient Japan and is also known to have a long line of matriarchs known as Zetsumei, ruling the clan that possess ultimate knowledge in herbs and natural materials that is passed down with each generation. It is said that with this knowledge, the clan matriarch is able to bring back someone from recent death, cure cancers, or prolong life. However, such generosity is rare, as she is more likely to use her knowledge to bring about madness, blindness, fear, weakness, or simply death.

The current Zetsumei is the woman you see here and now. It is unclear as to why she's so damned evil and has such an interest in the Rogue Isles and making war with the heroes. It is believed to have something to do with a rare plant/some secret knowledge/money and power/all of the above that she is after (I haven't worked this out myself).

The truth is that this Zetsumei, is the original Zetsumei who is over a thousand years old, age unknown (I will have to do research to decide on this), have kept her youthful appearance and prolonged life with her knowledge in herbs and poisons. She used to be a nice girl who found something or another that taught her all about herbs and such (I need to figure this out too, though it probably has something to do with her Oni). She was eventually shunned and cast out by her family due to being accused of using dark magic and curses, which in truth was all that natural herbal goodness that she learned from somewhere. Even so, that event didn't turn her all evil like, but it was a start. Some other event, or series of events was what caused her spiral into evil (which of course I haven't worked out what or how yet).

She doesn't hold human beings in high regard, or any regard at all, viewing them as expendable toys. Heck, her ninja minions are her children's descendants and she's perfectly happy with them giving their lives for her. Even if she has the knowledge to resurrect them should they die, she doesn't think its worth the effort.

So there you have it, Zetsumei in a nutshell. She's my favorite character concept and costume. Feel free to check out her CIT profile here.

Its fun to see what she used to look like.. her original costume is seen above. (This was back in the day when I made "trading cards" for my character and my friends' characters)

And what she looks like now. With the "Ninja Run" stance, a slick hair style, and her new gear; she looks kick ass. I enjoy playing her even more now and am constantly in awe of how cool my character looks and I'm dead serious about this too! 

Yes, it does help that she is fully purpled IO'ed, she runs +4 missions easily and can solo certain Hero/AV class enemies. But still, I can't get over her new look. Its just awesome!

Also, I should post her build one day.

Combustidoll Reaches Level 50!

Combustidoll finally dings level 50.. wooohooooo!

Combustidoll, my flaming ball of terror.

Right at level 47, I had all of the IOs for her ready to slot and WOW, what a difference it made to her gameplay. She was fun before slotting her IOs, but after slotting, she was simply incredible. She was a monster and tore through mobs with ease. Feel free to check out Combustidoll's build. I will shelf her until she is needed... she is especially efficient in LGTFs during the mini Hammi raid, so I'll definitely pull her out of retirement then, or if there is a TF that needs massive amounts of damage.

You know, after slotting her IOs it became stupid easy to level her up, so I didn't get to savor her gameplay as much as I would have liked. Yes, I know nothing is forcing me not to play her, but I really want to get started on the next Tanker Project (level one of each tanker primary to 50), which will likely be my Fire/Fire Tanker, Tropica, who is currently at level 27 right now.

I am probably going to level up a Mastermind of some sort when I am in need of taking a break from tanking.

Anyways, as a final note, I leave you with another picture:

Combustidoll is definitely cooler than Sister Psyche.

Going Rogue Launching on August 17, 2010!

Finally, we got the launch date for Going Rogue, which will going live on August 17th.

Here's the official article:

NCsoft and Paragon Studios are proud to announce that players will have the opportunity to walk the line between good and evil (or cross it), on August 17th, 2010 with the release of City of Heroes Going Rogue™. City of Heroes Going Rogue is the second paid expansion in the City of Heroes® franchise. For the first time in any super-powered MMORPG, the moral choices players make will affect their characters' game play experiences. Heroes can fall from grace to become Villains, while Villains can redeem themselves to become Heroes. In addition, players can now access the alternate universe of Praetoria where they can enjoy new missions, zones, costume sets, fight new villain groups, and play with new power sets including Demon Summoning, Dual Pistols, Electric Control and Kinetic Melee.

"I was proud when we launched City of Heroes® back in 2004 and even prouder when we unveiled the City of Villains® expansion in 2005, but Going Rogue is by far the best work that this team has ever done. Paragon Studios has distinguished itself as a premier studio committed to excellence with every issue and we've raised the bar on this expansion. I'm so honored to be a part of this team and I believe that our players will be absolutely amazed when they see what we've done." - Melissa Bianco, Lead Designer of City of Heroes

City of Heroes Going Rogue will be available as an expansion-only, or as part of the City of Heroes Going Rogue Complete Collection, which includes both City of Heroes® and City of Villains®. Both versions of City of Heroes Going Rogue will be available from the NCsoft store.

Rebuilding Ms Ann, Invulnerability & Battle Axe Tanker

The last time I touched Ms Ann's build was about 2 years ago. Since then, things obviously changed with the addition of more IO sets and some changes to powers. Previously, she had the Hammi-Os slotted and I've found that fully slotting IOs worked out better stat wise, due to the changes and ED.

So this post is all about my new build. I wanted to make her a well rounded tanker and make up in her deficiencies. The goal primarily is to get some Psi defense/resistance, more overall defenses, and beefing up the regeneration, as it was for my previous build.

Since she is my main, influence was no object and I was fine with spending a few billion influence on getting her the perfect build.

I've considered slotting purple sets, but the only purple sets I can slot are attack types. Sure, recovery, accuracy, and recharge bonus is nice, and its certainly great for other ATs, but not needed for a tanker, at least not this tanker. In fact, if I slot the purples, they take away from the regeneration and psionic def/res which goes against my goals.

If they ever came out with purple defense or resistance sets, then I would be all over that.

Some slots have been rearranged, but the power choices remain largely the same as it was, with the exception of dropping conserve power for the physical perfection.

Now without further adieu, here's Ms Ann's new build:

Taking a Break from COH

Now that my subscription will be expiring tomorrow.... I intend to take an enforced few weeks off from COH. I am self employed and have been putting off business for a few weeks, so I really need this time off to get things back on track. You know, or I won't get paid, which means I won't be able to afford the subscription in the first place!

So time to get serious here. I will be back in time for Going Rogue though!

All About Combustidoll, Fire & Energy Blaster

In my return to City of Heroes, I took a break from leveling up Tankers and played my Fire/Energy Blaster instead. Her name is Combustidoll and as her name states, she is a little exploding robotic doll, on the smallest side of the height slider.

Her profile reads:

Forget Barbie! Combustidoll can fly, beat stuff up, and shoot scorching hot flames from her hands! Get your very own super heroine doll for $19.99! Makes a great gift for that special child in your life! 

Warning: May unexpectedly explode from touching. Please keep away from children.

I am having a blast (pun intended!) playing her. Yes, playing as a blaster gives you paper thin defenses and you die a whole heck of a lot, but playing as a Fire/Energy Blaster allows me to keep up the frantic pace that I am so used to when I play as a tanker. Getting Inferno and one shot killing a whole bunch of baddies is also a plus.

99% of the time, I am on teams, otherwise, I do not play Combustidoll.

She's currently level 48 right now and fully (non-purpled) IO'ed. I tend to build the toon via Mid's Hero Builder and buy the appropriate IOs and recipes while the character is being leveled. Once they hit level 47, I slot up the toon with my ready to go IOs and the game play is like night and day.

I have yet to decide whether or not to fully IO her with purples, though I highly doubt that would happen since I don't think I will play her all that much once she hits level 50.

Here is her build:

I didn't focus on any one particular enhancement bonus, I just wanted to slot Combustidoll up given my budget of 100 million influence (not including all of the IOs and salvage I've been saving up from normal play). You'll see below that I ended up getting a 46.3% recharge and 80% accuracy bonus from the enhancements which is nice.

I am actually a few hundred merits away from fully having all the IOs.

Here's the active sets at level 50:

+10% DamageBuff(All)
+5.94% Defense(Fire)
+5.94% Defense(Cold)
+9.38% Defense(Energy)
+9.38% Defense(Negative)
+11.3% Defense(Ranged)
+7.19% Defense(AoE)
+6% Enhancement(Heal)
+2.5% Enhancement(Held)
+46.3% Enhancement(RechargeTime)
+80% Enhancement(Accuracy)
+13% FlySpeed
+85.8 HP (7.12%) HitPoints
+13% JumpHeight
+13% JumpSpeed
+Knockback (Mag -4)
+Knockup (Mag -4)

New Powerset Preview: Kinetics Melee

I was at PAX East 2010 and was able to attend the "Re-Inventing A Super-Heroic MMO" Panel where the COH devs discussed Going Rogue and other upcoming issues.

The devs announced 2 new powersets that will be launched with Going Rogue: Kinetics Melee and Electrical Control.

They previewed the Kinetics Melee animation where I was able to record below:



Keep in mind that they said that the animation was "very crude" so the timing of the animation will likely be tweaked. 

Unfortunately, they did not have the preview for the Electric Control set ready.

I was able to meet the COH devs at a later meet n greet. Had a blast!

Makes me want to play COH right now!
