Quote:If you look above BaBs has pointed out why he is opposed to this. It would take a huge amount of extra animations for this to work properly and look right, which could be better spent on new power sets or tech.Originally Posted by Major_Ravenick
cool
anyway, if u want a underwater zone, just take the makings of a normal zone. lower the gravity, add some wateryness, and link it though that tanker in port oaks. the coral ppl can have a city
ice will work underwater, it does in real life, why not in a game, fire does to if its hot enough and stone is no problem, as long as they are on the ocean floor. you can even have new stone designs, like coral style.
guns can work under water too, all a gun is is a trigger and pin hammer, the bullets are air tight. besides, if "gun fu" can have bullets bend in air, why not just let them shoot underwater
The new animations are required as motion underwater is signifigantly different to motion on land.
Also, are you assuming we can all breath underwater? Or would we all need to done rebreathers? -

They have the tech in place to do the actual powers different on different toons. That's not the hard part for them anymore. Its there, been there for over a year now so its safe to assume that bit of the tech is fairly solid and doesn't need much work. A big chunk of the development for power pools is figuring out the stuff I mentioned to keep the customization simple, but still flexible enough to make everyone happy with the choices.
Kind of... as I understand it they still have to re-export (render, process...?) every power to give it the ability to have different colours. Originally the colours were baked into the animation and they had to redo them all to allow customisation. So I would guess that to do the power pools they would also need to redo the powers again.
Not to say your point on the UI isn't valid, it's a big hurdle and people will complain having to have the yellow pompoms for 5 mins before they can hit a tailor. -
What flavour character are you? Stalkers can miss out on XP by not killing their way through and end up short.

Quote:1: If I'm not having fun I'll quit a team. It may be because the leader was being a tool, or we spent too much time waiting on people. I'll almost always finish the mission though.Originally Posted by Jade Ivy
Hi All, I'm fairly new to CoX and am enjoying it a lot. There are a few things about teaming that I noticed.
1) When things go wrong, some folks just quit. They say, sorry, I gtg. Then when I look in the search a minute or two later, they're teamed again.
2) Quitting in the middle of the mission to do something else. In this case, I was on a team for regular missions with 3 toons who were in coalition with my SG. Someone in the coalie chat announces 'Free farm, any lvl'. All 3 quit and then in coalie chat, they tell the farmer to invite them.
3) Quitting in a Task Force. So a task force, like an ITF, runs over 40 mins and this toon quits. I tell my SG mates and they told me that particular player likes to speed and only plays up to a certain time. Anyway, we finish the TF 10 mins later. Wouldn't have hurt for him to stay would it?
2: Same as above really. I don't tend to quit mid mission unless something serious comes up.
3: I've quit on a total of 1 TF ever and it was because my connection failed. I've failed others where the team has disbanded but that just happens sometimes. I'm with you on this totally.
Oh.. and welcome to the game. -

Quote:There is a difference between an old suggestion and one that was discussed about a week ago and could have been found with search easily enough.Originally Posted by BlueTurbo
Sorry to annoy you Penny. I didn't realise this was the "New suggestions Only" forum. Maybe my idea of people just being mindful of others doesn't measure up to your posting standards, but I will continue to express my opinion despite your annoyance, and I for one will turn off my toggles and pets when I'm inside Wentworths, and encourage others to do the same.
And to highlight the other thread:
For: Limits lag from people spamming powers, is quieter. Others detoggling is easier for them.
Against: Having to retoggle 11 toggles just to drop off 3 bits of salvage on the way through. Not being able to use travel powers. Not having to spend time retoggling is easier for them.
I can see both points and as I pointed out in the first reply a happy medium would be a 'back room'. -
*grabs popcorn and settles in*
But seriously, been suggested, lots. Half the community are ok with it, the other half would quit.
Best suggestion so far would be a room where people can go with suppression. -
Hehe, reading throught this thread sounds like a marketing brochure for a pyramid scheme or similar.
Quote:But seriously, great guide Fury. I'm one of the players that falls into the doesn't put what I read into practice. Sometimes I do, but mostly I'm not bothered. But then I'm also one of the minority who doesn't blame the marketeers for high prices. If I need cash I'll definetly be doing this.Honest, it sounds dodgy but it works, I'm now a millionaire from nothing! -

That one is old, outdated and potentially full of viruses etc through the ads.

Quote:Thanks Rachel, this pretty much. It's a pretty wild theory. Personally I think there are 2 reasons we've seen higher server strain since GR.Originally Posted by Steampunkette
If the system worked exactly how she describes it, it would defeat the purpose of the system. It would just take up more space on the server for no reason whatsoever, since the people in the queue would otherwise have those slots.
It doesn't work that way. That's what should really be taken from the whole discussion. The nitpicking is just pointing to her conspiracy theory for what it is.
-Rachel-
1: There are more people. I've seen more new people around and I'm in the EU.
2: Praetoria takes a higher toll on the servers.
I could be wrong, I hope i am and that there really are that many more people. -

Along with Going Rogue they introduced the Queue system.So what was it? Was the queue system introduced with GR or were you using it before I13? At least be consistent with your conspiracy theories.Quote:Originally Posted by Championess
I'm glad that you are entertained. I've been playing on freedom for 5 years now and the queue system has only been necessary only a few times for me and that was way back before i13 so why now, the system works exactly how I've detailed it, find out for yourselves and tell me otherwise.

Scabbards and other new back options (backpacks, costume jet packs, fixed wings, etc.) are one of those tall tales like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster You'll see some interesting, fuzzy pictures, but you'll never see them in Atlas Park. Would love to be proven wrong some day though

It was posted on the CoH facebook page on Sept. 3rd with the caption, "What could this mean? Find out at the City of Heroes panel at Pax Prime tomorrow morning!" Could it mean that they are working on an auto-teaming system? If you attended that panel and it doesn't break the NDA could you let us know? -

Quote:Mainly because it takes over a bar of end to summon all 3 tiers and use both upgrades plus the time it takes making your teammates wait. Yup, if I'm not missioning for a while I'll release them, but if I'm moving from one mish to another I won't.Originally Posted by Golden_Avariel
You know, you could just dismiss them before you transition and hold off re-summoning them until you actually need them. I've never understood the desire of apparently most MM's to have a train of pets chasing them all over the great outdoors. And no, I don't think fear of the once-in-a-blue-moon ambush is a particularly good reason.
At any rate, My theory is that it has to do with lag. If the pets are re-created on the other side (they don't actually transition with you) before you've fully transitioned in then they'll be masterless. I've noticed the faster someone is at transitions the less it happens to them, and the slower the more often. -
OMG.. Ultra rare, totally unnecessary, stuff is expensive... what are we going to do?!

That was brilliant. I always assumed the buyer ran, but still worth watching.

Thank you for that succinct post. I've been in a similar boat to the OP and it's interesting to get a solid consolidated post explaining it.
