I've finally found a place to live in Paragon City, so this is an open
invitation to my long-awaited housewarming party!
It'll be at 9PM Eastern Time on July 1, in the parking lot of the
Discount Inn in Galaxy City on the Justice Server. You can get

Last night I was in PP having some fun when I ran into this guy who was
just killed by a pack of Hydra in Everett Lake. He rezzed and I stood
there to act as protection just in case an enemy wandered his way.
Anyhoo, we got into a convo about the Hydra and the Kraken and I

Is it worth it to take the first 3 attacks in the claws line?
I have been noticing many people seem to skip the 2nd power.
I was told if I took ALL primary/secondary powers that I could still max out
4 pool power sets, is this true?

But my tanker took stealth at level 20.
Well, Group Fly was right out. Most people already wait for me at the
mission site, even though I have one flight enhance in my Fly.
I was really tempted by Dull Pain.  My fire tanker has Healing Flames and

OK, perhaps not.  But Invincibility sure is fun for a tanker. This must
surely be the defining power for my powerset. Intriguingly, it asks for a
completely different fighting style when soloing:  Once the boss is down,
it becomes profitable to damage each villain but not defeat ...

I expect Bob to be answering this one a little "Mr. Lvl 30 illusion
controller" <wink>.....
i just started an ill/emp controller, and i have to say, very fun...i
think i am pretty good on the secondary empth line, pretty much taking

To start with, I'm fairly new to CoH, and the MMORPG genre in general.
What is the general etiquette about helping people out in a fight?
I've seen Defenders do run-by healing, and that's always much
appreciated, so I assume that is acceptable.

Late, late, late last night, Soldier Blade finally, after many weeks,
hit Lv 14 and I selected Super Jump from Ms. Lib over in Atlas. While I
was there testing my vertical leap, a guy /tell me and asks if I could
give him a hand. Being the helpful type, thinking we were going to run

So I decided to take the plunge and bought CoH. Knowing I had an old video
card, I asked the salesman if my NVidia TNT2 64 would do the job. He looked
up on the web, and said yes, as long as you get the upgraded drivers.
I installed the game, downloaded the close to 1 gig of ...

Anyone know where to find these?
No sign of them at the shops in Talos or IP.
Am I going to have to wait for the final "mission shops"
in Founder's Falls and Brickstown?  That's a long wait.

Has anyone had any experience with Crippling Axe Kick? I'll be leveling
up soon and am debating taking this or Boxing from the Fighting pool
(my prereq for Tough and eventually Weave).
Also, is Warrior's Challenge exactly the same as a Tank's taunt? Same

Okay, I may be a 'noob', but having tried all of the character
archetypes since May, I have observed the following:
1. Do not assume that the level 3 character standing next to you is a
'new' lvl 3. It may be that he/she is trying a new character

Hello!!!  I'm a lurker for the most part over at a.g.e. Ng...  I know
that quite a few age'rs are here playing CoH and I am going to be
picking up my copy tonight!!!  YAY!!!  LOL
Anyway, here is my question:  I know that you get one free month with

Has anyone actually tried putting a jump enhancer in Sprint?  I see it
takes one, now, but I have not put any extra slots on Sprint and I already
have run speed enhancement there.  I may consider putting an extra slot
there, however, if it has a noticeable effect.

I am not trying to sound arrogant, or trying to put out a "convince me it
is worthwhile" attitude, but it is friday, I am tired, and couldn't be
bothered to make the title sound any friendlierer.
I have been lurking in here and reading some of the CoH posts/threads in
