Title: Question about power pools Post by: ClydeJr on May 04, 2004, 11:19:06 AM So I managed to get my wife hooked on CoH (no, I have no clue how it happened). She just got her blaster to level 6 and could pick a power pool power. She wants to be able to fly so I told her that she should pick up Hover first.
She leaves at voicemail for me here at work saying that she got to level 6, selected the Flying power pool and picked Hover. This took her back to her main power screen which shows her primary, secondary, and now her Flying powers. Unfortunately she got confused at this point, thought she could pick another power, selected Ball Lightning, and accepted her choice. Now she no longer has Hover. At level 8, can she go back in and pick Hover? Or is she fubared until level 14?

You can pick any appropriately leveled power from any power pool after level 6. So yes, she can take hover at level 8.

If you want to can pick a power pool power at 6, 8, 10, and 12. You just can pick a third teir pool untill 14.

With the new power pool unlocking method she does not need to worry at all just grab hover at 8. Heck you could wait till 12 to grab hover and still be able to get flight at 14 now.
Depending on my build and what unlocks it is not uncommon for me to grab a normal power at 6 and wait till 8 for power pool if I am feeling some specific lack. And ball lightning is a good power she would have wanted eventually anyway so no harm done. Kaid Title: Question about power pools Post by: ClydeJr on May 05, 2004, 01:44:53 PM Thanks for the replies all. You've made her happy and also helped me understand the power pool system better.
She's been playing CoH on my system the past few days since mine is more of a gaming rig. Her system only has 256mb ram and no vid card since all she does is surfing, email, and home office type stuff. She casually asks me Monday night what it would take to get her system able to play CoH. Next thing I know, we've bought a vid card and a copy of CoH for her. I think she's going to go buy a stick of ram today. I may have created a monster. Hopefully she won't leave me for the Incredible Bulk... |
