There are a few people in Team Tomorrow. 'The' Chosen One, Meltdown, Divis Mal, TUM TUM, Rogg, Telnitz, Totentanz, Sir Chill, Fudge Brownie and a few others that I can't think of right now.

A. How do I contact you in the game.

B. What the hell are Buffs and how do I use them?

Well, you have a few ways to get a hold of people, the easiest ways is to add them to your friend list.

you type "/friend,sylver" ...For sylver or for very bad /friend,very bad..And so on. No space if you use a coma,and no coma if you use a space

B. Buffs are adds to your abilities that you get from the use of one or more powers...i.e. Force Field grants you a defense buff

you probably mean enhancements which increase the effect of an ability by 8% (Training Enhancements), 22%(most Dual Origin Enh.), or 33% (most Single Origin enh.)

On your Powers bar, click Enhancements, and it will take you to the (yep) Enhancements screen. Remember, you can add multiples of the same enhancements to a power. If you want the most Accurate Eye Beams in the world, then someday you'll have 6 SO Acc. Enh. in your Eye Beams. Someday.

No, I know how the enhancements work. I also know how to combine enhancements. I'm having trouble with buffs, and buff enhancers. They don't seem to fit into anything.

Google for a program called the Hero Planner. It lets you preview the costs and stats of late-=game powers as well as fiddle with enhancements.

From the sounds of it, you're speaking of buff powers and buff enhancements for those powers. A 'buff' or 'debuff' is online RPG slang for something that raises or lowers a particular stat, and the enhancers for those are somethings seperate from the enhancements for a regular power.

For example, let's say you have yourself an assault rifle, and the devices sub-catagory. If you wanted your Slug to be a little bit more accurate, you would put an Accuracy mod on it. But if you want the Targeting Drone to boost the accuracy of all your attacks a bit more while it's on, you put a To-Hit Buff inside of it. Likewise, if you want the Burst to lower the enemy's defense just that little bit more, you'd put a Defense Debuff on it.

If this & the Hero Planner don't work, put up a screenshot and point out precisely what you're trying to do.

Well, I don't have a real chance to play the game, so I'm making up for it by finding out as much as I can about it. Prodigy, if you say what character type and powersets you have, I can probably help you out. Since you're trying to figure out buffs, that means you're either a controller or defender, and they can be tough to start out with...

By the way, once I can play regularly, I'd love to join T2M with The Black Tempest, my CoH remake of Chill. Justice server, right?

No, I've gotten Buffs as free enhancements and I can't figure out what to do with them. I'm a tank. So, if they're only for Controllers or Defenders I'm good.

I'm on Justice, which is unfortunate since it seems like it's the busiest. On another one, I can't remember the name right now, I'm a Tech Blaster by the name of Black Billy. He's kind of fun.

Oh yeah, you'll pick up enhancements your character can't use all the time. Just trade or sell the stupid things.

And something useful that a long time player told me: Don't buy anything until you're getting close to level 15, and can use the double origin enhancements that'll show up then. Saving all your influence during the easier levels is a time-saver later.

Curious, where can I buy the single origin enhancements? I'm a mutant and from what I understand the enhancements I get for free are pretty much sucktacular.

Do what signy said. You can get into the team through either me or TUM TUM. In the chat window, type /friend Chosen One and /friend TUM TUM.

I think being on a busy server is better. If a zone gets too crowded, they instance another version of it so that things don't slow down that bad. I've played in beta where there was only 1 server and there were 8 instances of a zone, so what happens now is nothing. The major limiting factor is your connection.

I think it's much more important to be on a server with either more people or more people that you know. It's like saying that you'd prefer this site only had 3 visitors so that there wouldn't be many new posts for you to have to download, when the more people on there are what adds to the enjoyment of the environment. It's a social environment and if you only solo then you're missing part of the fun.

I don't think saving up makes that much of a difference. The amount of influence you get scales with your level, so while saving will help some, you can still get most of what you need at any point in time.

The 2 major jumps in character power are at 12 and 22. At 12 you can get level 15 dual origins(DO). At 22 you can start getting level 25 single origins(SO). Unless you are at one of those levels, you can't use DO or SO.

As for where to buy them, I'm a big fan of warcry . You can find out what each enhancement does at this link , and can get a list of stores at this link . You can search for specific criteria on each page.

Damn, it does look like enhancements are crap until you can pick up the DO or SO stuff.

Did I hear you right? Monthly fee for a game with no single player?.....

....and people fall for this obvious con?

"Hey guys buy this game.... but if you wanna play it you'll haveta pay! mwahahahahahahahaha!"

Sorry but I don't have that kind of money to burn. (cost the same as my internet connection in the first place!!!!)

It's not for everyone. I've generally not been a big fan of MMORPGs, but City sounded really cool to me. I've been playing it for a few months now and am still having fun. My only complaints so far are I wish they would get all of the trials running, as well as incorporate more Supergroup related missions.

Yeah it sounds interesting but at somthing like $15 a month to play it sounds a little extortionate as well, I would really be interested if they had a single player option available (was a huge fan of Freedom Force).

Makes you wonder what they need that kind of money a month for anyways (servers don't cost anything near that much).... just smacks alittle too much of greed to me.

Who knows I may give it a try when it gets olde and they cheapen the online costs a little.

Templar it seems they will have "updates" the size of my explaions packs one 3-4 months,at the slowest.Then patches can be as many as daily. In the end you get a lot of support,updates,fun,and you pay about the same amount of money you would be paying for getting games that you would most likely be buying instead.

Porgramers,testers,and such cost a lot.Also you can have 8 characters on each server.

Well, I'm getting to play it a bit on a friend's account (Mangle-, a spines/invul scrapper on Justice). Anyone wants to SK me, I'd love it.

And I'm wondering, what's the current membership roster for T2M?

There's been a little work done on it recently. You can get to it at coh.nprime.net . We haven't started recruiting yet, and I'm sort of waiting to see what use the web site can be to people in the game. A lot of the group is my rpg group, which have no interest in web sites, so I have sort of held back on doing anything as I don't want to put time into something that people aren't going to use. TUM TUM is the highest lvl character, so he's your best bet to get an invite into the group.

Well, thanks to Cherry being on too much, Suicide noticed me during the hour I was on yesterday, and gave me an invite to T2M. Now I just have to figure out how to make a bright blue and yellow color scheme look right on army surplus.

And now I feel like a bozo for not /friending the characters who were posted here. Duh.

Okay, I'm playing now.

The character(s) that I have currently active on Justice are...

* Sakurako Hino (My main)
No alts yet.

And for those that remember my friend; Silvertalon's short visit here...

*SilverTalon (His Main)
No alts yet.

He is also on Justice.

All in all,

I spotted a character named Gravitis who was a member of the supergroup Project Utopia. I didn't have a chance to say anything to him, but if anyone else sees someone from that team, ask them if they're Aberrant fans...
