Quote:Pardon me, but something is diconnect with your brain. Define "no one," please?Originally Posted by graystar_blaster
As stated the nerfs to xp are extreme and hard. Since no one is playing why make it harder for the ones that are here, why nerf the xp and why nerf the drops.
I would think that making it easier for the ones that are playing and the drops would encourage new 50s and make it a stronger player base for when GR hits.
Even more so since i17 has nothing at all in it except 2 arcs and a new posi which is just a similar posi kinda updated.
why not reward people for staying with the game and make it easier for the ones still playing instead of harder which only makes people go to other games?
i think its another case of the devs diconnect with player base -

Here is a close-up I found, you'll note the rough texture, and the lack of the front-side shot. But the colors are straight on this one.Originally Posted by Chase_Arcanum
When you say "blocky" do you mean that there's a texture to the surfaces that you'd expect to be smooth- like the skin? I know that 3D printers are generally very "grainy" (their equivalent of "dots per inch" is still rather low) but from watching FigureCraft's videos & seeing all the tools, I was left with the impression that they'd grind the critical surfaces down smooth.

AA has the full dissertation, so I'll defer to that.
But if I don't get six blind invites when I login, it's a rare day. And on that day, if I want to do some pugging, I form my own team. Within a minute, I'm always turning people away at full capacity. -
I have to stick my nose in here and comment that I've not only seen those WoW figurecrafts, I've held one in my hands. And they're absolutely hideous. I know that WoW doesn't have much in the way of character customization, but the figurecraft looked like it was gnawed out of lava soap by two rabid weasels that hated each other. And then the features were lightly airbrushed within a reasonable facsimile of where they ought to be. IE: pants were pants, but the face was a horrible monstrosity.
I'd love some figures of my own characters...but not like that.

Quote:Query: When you're "trying to get on a team," are you just standing around spamming a channel or broadcast with "$level $archetype looking for team"?Originally Posted by Willowpaw
I really thought VU2010 and Virtue LFG Alpha would be the most suitable channels on Virtue for being able to get on a team. I was apparently wrong. Both those channels seemed almost completely dead tonight. And here I thought Virtue was one of those servers where anyone can easily get on a team at any time.
2 hours of not adventuring later, my Dom (level 38) was absolutely unable to get on any teams. BTW, what is a suitable wait period between broadcasts? I think I was waiting anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes, which seemed reasonable to me.
Are there any other global channels on Virtue that are better suited for finding teams? I would really like to avoid any repeats of tonight, preferring to spend my time in game actually running missions instead of standing around trying to get on a team (totally bored with soloing).
If so, I think I can see your problem. -
Twelve hours later, still not allowed to view the list.

Quote:Of course no one has done it. You'd have to have known that, some day in the future, the dev's were going to add something called the "vet reward" system to the game. So in between advance lottery and stock purchases, you'd subscribe and then rub your hands together in villainy and say, "Oh boy, only five more years and then THEY'LL ALL REGRET IT."Originally Posted by Vitality
This is saying that you only paid for that much time JUST for that one Vet Reward. Which I hope no one has done.
Either way...I have already stated that I know why my suggestion doesn't work.
I was just pointed something out.

Hey everyone,
Some of you may have noticed a new developer lurking on the forums, Black Scorpion, who was introduced here:http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=218430
I wanted to take a moment to explain what exactly he and I will be working on with Mission Architect. Black Scorpion normally works with Synapse and Castle and all things power-related, but he'll also be helping out with Mission Architect powers from here on out. He'll be doing things like looking at balance issues in terms of power and experience for custom powers in Architect. This is especially important given the new custom experience system that we'll be rolling out with i17. He's been working on a lot of cool things for Architect which we're both super stoked about, including a more preferable solution to the current ally experience penalty. This is something you'll be hearing more about soon.
You can think of Black Scorpion and I as a team, like in a buddy cop movie, only instead of fighting crime, we work on Mission Architect. We'll also sometimes say witty one-liners while tracking down bugs. Black Scorpion will work on ensuring things are nice and balanced within the system, while I'll be working on introducing new maps and features into Architect.
So please welcome Black Scorpion, I'm sure you'll all be very happy with what he's been working on for Mission Architect! -

Same here, Dumples. Happy Anniversary to everyone indeed!

I pretty much still take Hasten on a few characters at 6--it's a good fit for certain low-level ATs with not as many offensive powers to rely on. And most of my older characters are tweaked just the way I like them, so it's not like I'm going to respec them just to scoot one power out of the way. It's an odd little perk, but I can't see where I've even used it, let alone used it to give me an unfair edge that might put a newer player at a disadvantage.

Quote:See, the thing is...I don't really care (not re: you, re: the issue). Grant you, I'm just one guy and there are plenty of other people with plenty of other opinions...but it feels like all this talk is trying really hard not to sound like an entitlement (or anti-entitlement) rant. We didn't have vet rewards when I started playing, they were added after the fact. And I always had to take my travel powers at 14--this level 6 thing only just happened.Originally Posted by Vitality
*However, I could see some current non-60 month vet players being upset about the fact that they have spent potentially 59 months "working towards" this reward...only to be told that they have to buy it now.
So it's not hard at all for me to imagine playing this game the same way I always have.
How is it difficult for "everyone else?" -
Quote:Personally speaking, and speaking as someone one week from their 72 month vet badge, I wouldn't feel cheated. I mean, I don't care either way, really.Originally Posted by Vitality
You acting as if the current 60 month vets would feel cheated. I don't understand that.
I guess when it comes down to it, though, even for something as simple as a travel power--I think things that confer an in-game advantage should be earned instead of bought. -
My six year b-day with CoX is next week. Happy Anniversary everyone.

Do you have the 60 month vet reward? If not a good replacement would be the ability to block a non-60+ month person who has bought the pack from being able to use it.

What's the question?

Oh. -
What level is your brother's character?

Quote:For the nature of the question? Probably yes.Originally Posted by Carnifax_NA
And Controllers.
Do pets count? The Lich and Bruiser come with knockdown versions of Torrent and Handclap respectively.
Considering the source, probably no. Clearly, Vanden is working on cleaning up more power icon problems and is working to properly differentiate between the two attack side-effects. -
Welcome.

Quote:I'm sure furries everywhere have breathed a sigh of relief, now that they've passed your moral gauntlet. Huzzah!Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I think it's a bit of a lost cause - not only are furries totally harmless, and have every right to play and enjoy this game as much as anyone else, but also, another game that's sort of similar to this one has quite a good selection of animal themed costume parts, so it really is a no-brainer to boost the amount we have here.

the only thing i know is that wing boots will do something only if you have fly or flying type powers, they work just like any other wing except attached to a different part of your character

Pretty sure the low-level Mooks have always looked like that. It's the higher-leveled ones that are somewhat more refined.

This needs to be added to a new MOTD in-game. The Live servers, or at least Virtue, was a seething pot of misinformed nerdrage the past two days I was on. And it's not limited to any particular zone, IE AE babies in Atlas. Talk about conspiracy theories and entitlement issues.
