Border_line

Er, just curious why y'all don't just send email to yourself listing out what you need for a particular character? I pretty much exclusively use the email for making little notes for myself such as why I bid on random salvage and such in the AH.

I'm not even going to bother trying to have a normal discussion on something with people who don't have their facts straight on this. The people at Cryptic who developed the engine are still working on this game.

When the devs state "the engine doesn't support it", they don't mean it's impossible. They mean it requires extra coding to make work.

Where did I call anyone "idiots", btw? I was the one told I didn't know what I was talking about.

I've been working on misc projects maintaining ancient "unworkable" code on an assortment of platforms for over a decade. "You haven't seen the code" isn't a reason to say something isn't possible. It's completely possible, the quality of the code just determines how long it will take to implement. Anything can be done in code that you can imagine. How do you think game engines get "updated"? How do other engines manage it? It's just the fact that time has been spent to implement it. That's where "new game engines" come from. It's just a previous version that has had extra bits added in.

The FAQ states that CoX uses a custom internally developed engine. The code is all known to the devs here. Making the required modifications shouldn't be that difficult for the devs. Grapple hooks are relatively easy to implement given that it's been in the original Unreal and Q3 engines that predate CoX. Now, I'll grant that it's possible the code is a complete mess and difficult to work with, though I wouldn't insult the devs in that way, but your argument of "you haven't seen the code so STFU" is really ignorant of coding and it's not appreciated to try to marginalize my point by stating something that seems like magic to you as being not possible.

Eh, I know it's often brought up but if the argument is that it looks stupid, I'd counter that I hate how I can superjump in water. No, water does not work that way. You cannot jump out of water. I might be weird but I avoid large bodies of water as my SJ characters because it really bothers me to jump on water. It looks really, really stupid. I'd rather have SJ simply not work if you hit water.

Sans the actual travel power, I like the other suggested powers for this pool.

I thought so, that was what I was finding with my own experimenting, but figured I'd ask to see if anyone managed a workaround. Thanks for the response!

I was thinking this very thing, and searched for this suggestion before posting it myself.

I'd pay market points (ie, real money) to be able to make a small personal base/apartment. Allow one per account, and have all alts on a server share it maybe, max size being the smallest base size, but still allow the same stuff bases have?

I'm sorry, I'm just not a big social player but I like this game, and I'd like to be able to have a personal base between my characters to store things like those with SGs have. Nothing huge, but it would be nice to have.

How do I save a thread so I can come back to it? This guide is very helpful for a reflexes build, I'm currently having some issues with end on a claws/SR scrapper and I have a free respec available to work with. Thanks for the write up.

So, to confirm, there is no way to set the Option hotkey to a non-single character, like a numberpad key or F1 or something?

I have my reasons (mouse turning is borked in Linux), but I play CoH with a gamepad. I make it work, but I found popmenu today and thought it would be perfect for being able to make one button open a "travel power" menu that I could then select from using one of the gamepad keys, but it doesn't work since it doesn't seem to allow anything more than just the char with the amp be the hotkey. Is there a way around this restriction?

I really, really would like to have this work.
