and 1/4 of the travel options are SS, you telling me that 1/4 of the comic book heroes use SS?

It doesn't work like that. You need to look a the Melee comic heroes and see if their powers are catered for. If they are then there are enough sets available.

[/ QUOTE ]

No this would only have relevance to my point if there were only say 2 travel powers or there were 8 and 4 of them were "Tiger", "Unicorn", "Dragon" or "Horse"

[ QUOTE ]
just because there are that many powersets does not mean that 35% of all heroes actually use those sets.

The point being, if you don't want to play a weapon based (non "super" if you will) hero, you don't have to. The choice is there for you to make. It's nice for a game to give you such options.

Yeeeeessss......

So would you say having the option of being able to dress your elf in spandex but you didn't have would enhance the immersive S&S nature of a game like WoW?


There are many more "non-supers" that [u]don't[u] use melee weapons than do.

Personally, I'd have preferred they had introduced a "street fighting" power set (for a top of my head example) than Dual Blades.

I don't disagree that it's nice to have the widest possible selection of powers but I do feel that handheld weaponry is less congruent to the genre than many other options and is disproportionately represented as potential options.

They could put an “wet towel” or an “accountancy” power set in and your comments would still be as relevant to that as they are to weapons.

Also if its not swords and sorcery, why release the past few issues weapon customisation and shields followed by this booster?


[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, because the superhero genre doesn't use weapons and shields and magic! not ever!

[/ QUOTE ]

True, but I think the proportion of weapons based powers sets in CoH is massively disproportionate to the number of characters using them in the various superhero comic book canons. Especialy for heroes (as opposed to villains).

For scrappers it's 37.5%
For Tanks it's 33.33%

All the other AT's are ranged so for the purposes of this exercise (I.e.hand held weapons. Which is what I feel the OP principly feels is incongruent with a superhero genre game).

Do we really think that 35% (the combined total) - more than one in three - comic book melee based superheroes use hand held weapons.
I think not....

Conversely do we think that 35% or more of S&S heroes do?....

I know what I think (and have for some time)

Wouldnt that have a negative effect also? Would bring a lot of prices down on the cheaper salvage that still sell for 10/20k a piece.


[/ QUOTE ]

You say that like it's a bad thing.
If we all sold everything at 10inf then we would all have the sets we want on all of our toons and you wouldn't need 500,000,000 to kit yourself out you could do it for about 50,000. So you wouldn't need to make lots of money in the first place...

All of it is just worth what people will pay.

Smash the system!

One more question - What is the short cut to make the menu column appear?

Thank you!

Hi all.

Just logged in and all of my windows were closed so I hit some keys - m for map, t for target, n for nav & c for chat but I can't make the menu reappear - Which means I can't log out.

Help!

You can ask the SG registration guy to show you a list of the top 100 SGs by prestige earnt. But nothing else really.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's what I was thinking of - Thanks!

Total mind blank - Can some one help me?

Weren't there terminals somewhere were you could look up stats on SG's and ask for membership?

losing the one cape limit (which they already have with wedding pack) but make it more official.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm probably being dumb but: What do you mean "one cape" limit? You can have different capes on different costume slots now.

Or do you mean say, raincoat and wings.....? Though I cant imagine why you'd want it...?

AB

Thanks chaps (chapesses?). Nice and clear now.

So, I'm a 45mnth vet but..... I've heard people discuss "hard" & "soft" caps and frankly - I haven't a scoobie what the difference is between them.

Not only that but..... I don't know which powers/stats are capped and what at.

'splanation please someone?

Slight "left at the lights" here but please could someone explain how enhancements will work for 2nd builds - Will we have to buy a whole load of other enhancments from scratch (assuming the build is different enough to need different enhancments)?

[/ QUOTE ]



Yes. The second build will need its own enhancements, I'm afraid.

Bummer

To be honest, if we hang around at GG for three hours, we'll probably see one or two invasions. And, of course, we have ready made teams. I'm just bored with it now.


[/ QUOTE ]

/signed.

Though I'ma bit bored now too tbh
Being bored of it is slightly different to those stating that it's annoying that invasions happen or that the zombie spawn rate is too high when one hits.

I can understand people who play a fair bit getting bored of it, but the flipside is if it's only done for a week then it's maybe too easy for people to miss if other commitments pop up. As CoX is so casual friendly it'd be a little annoying if many people missed an event as it was kept short for fear of boring the more frequent players!

I've nearly missed the odd event before because circumstances have kept me away for 10 days or so...

I caught one invasion at GG and that seemed to be taken in the RP'ers stride... though having said that it was in the first few days of invasions, so maybe there was still enthusiasm for treating it in character.

Sorted. Logged out (eventually) of offending toon. Logged on as another and, even though there was no problem with that I changed the graphics down a bar logged back on as the problem toon and teh problem went away - Any one know why?

Can't get out of Striga - Takes 7 mins to bring up the menu!

About an hour ago I was in Striga when suddenly the game just froze.
I logged out (took a while - circa one frame every 10 secs) rebooted PC and verifed files. Logged back in with another toon - Fine.

Logged out, logged back in with original toon - Frozen solid again.

Logged out....

Did the whole sorry process again three times - Same result.

Runs fine in safe mode though......

Any ideas?

There's two System Event channels called Hero Zone Event Messages and Villain Zone Event Messages, both open by default. All you need to do is add them to a new or existing tab. No need to channel-search for them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope still can't find 'em. Please can you spell it out step by step for the hard of thinking

[/ QUOTE ]

FOund them - Doh!

For sometime I've wanted to have a Tanker/Scrapper duo called:
"Brute Force" & his partner "Ignorance".

It's 8.49am in California now - WHERES MY [censored] ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
