Amazing! I linked it to my multi-game guild's ongoing MMO watch thread, hopefully it'll tease a few more players over here
The video was beautiful and brilliant, and the music really made it! Kudos to both you and the composer! -

Nope, there is nothing to say that you haven't touched "X" plaque. This is why I tend to do one zone at a time.
First thing I did in each zone was badge it.

Okay, I'm at 19/20 on this one. Is there ANY way to know which one I missed, or do I have to go click them all again?

Quote:Yeah, my group didn't even get to fight Marauder in that mission. They killed him before we even found the spawn :|Originally Posted by Mr. DJ
When I first fought them (the second time you have to take out Marauder's cell) when I entered the mission, they were attacking him, not sure if that's WAI or not, pretty sure it isn't...lol.

I'd like to see the Power Pools revamped as well, and made customizable.
A couple changes I would like (but I realize many wouldn't) is to buff the Leadership Pool, but make it Ally-only, and make the Fighting Pool available to non-Melee ATs only. Melee ATs would have access to a new Pool that would have ranged and maybe support abilties.Uh... no thanks. Seriously, no freaking thanks.Quote:Originally Posted by Vox Populi
Well like I said, I knew it would be an unpopular idea. I just find Melee/Defense ATs taking more Melee and Defense powers to be redundant and boring, and I worry they may replace Fitness as "must have" for a lot of players.
Some powersets like /regen have very little in the way of defense and resistance, and few opportunities to slot those sets. Taking the Fighting pool is a good way to supply those things, it's not necessarily stacking anything.
And making the Leadership pool ally-only and excluding the self? Boy, gee, thanks. Take away the few self-buffing powers my poor Empath has? Wow, no thanks. That might be an okay move for people who only team, but for folks who solo or duo through the game, that would suck rocks for no discernible benefit.
We don't need to NERF anything else just because we're getting Fitness inherent :-/ -

Quote:That's great!Originally Posted by DMystic
sometimes I'll reply to the NPCs. Heck when I was going through the RWZ arcs I had several choice things to say to various NPC's along the way. Sometimes I said it out loud, sometimes I said it to myself and sometimes I typed it in.
Although one time I was meeting up with a friend and I had finally designed a civilian costume for my character. So I was waiting around in the civilain outfit when he came by also in Civilian clothing so I actaully Spouted something about one his previous missions like an NPC would.
We bot hahd alol and thought it was agreat way to kick off that particular RP moment. -
My RP group talks back to NPC dialogue all the time. If we're responding to an NPC, we do it in /local, otherwise we RP with each other in /team.

Quote:I've got 2 scrappers who tank for their groups who have the Presence taunt because it's an AoE rather than a single like the scrapper taunt.Originally Posted by DSorrow
Presence - I don't recall seeing anyone other than two or three MMs (for the AoE taunt) have this power pool. Ever.
Stealth - it's good for PvP because of Phase, but for PvE it's mostly used for LotG +Rech mules.
Medicine - in most cases inspirations are better than this power pool. Aid Other has such a short range and small heal that it's virtually useless. Stimulant's duration and range are also too short. In most cases Respites > Aid Self because either you have so much mitigation you rarely need it or you're being hit with so many things you wouldn't have a chance of pulling Aid Self off. Inspiration combining for Wakies > Resuscitate.
I've got 2 characters with the Medicine pool all the way up.
There are characters who use the powers, even if you don't see 'em

You can get the badge without being in the ship raid. Once the zone announces the shields are down, just fly over there, get your badge, and leave. That's how we got our RWZ beacon.

I actually deleted my main back in i6 or something, she was my first character and she was the ever-dreaded "healer" emp - I hadn't slotted attacks and the partner I was leveling with quit the game. I was in an SG but no one was going to commit to playing with me every single day, so Trillium only came out on TF days, or when someone was stuck with an AV mission, and this was back where leveling took a long, long time.
I deleted her at 35 I think, so I could roll an ill/emp with her name. I got to KR and kinda freaked out about having done it, contacted a GM, and they actually un-deleted her. I'm pretty sure they're not supposed to do that, but it's been years so I'll admit to it now, I think no one will get in trouble

Quote:Please, don't even joke. Turbine just ruined LOTRO with that crap. CoX is perfectly fine running on the subscription/booster pack system. If this game goes pay-to-play too (and yes, free-to-play is NOT what DDO/LOTRO are, they're pay-to-play, make no mistake, and we're getting a lot LESS now that it's gone "free") I'll probably be done with MMOs for the forseeable future.Originally Posted by Steampunkette
City of Heroes adopts the DDO "Free to Play" design, with level 1-40 free to play, EATs as pay-to-unlock, And Zones added after CoV unlockable. New powersets, too. Current "Booster" Packs purchaseable through NCSoft points in-game or through the website itself as normal. 5 Character slots for free, 10 for "Premium" players (formerly subscribed) with up to 3 costumes unlockable, Auras and Capes purchaseable. Players paying their usual $14.99 a month have no change in service, just a bunch of new players around.
Well, I can say that, thanks to the recent LOTRO change, I personally brought about four new players in from my kinship there to join me here. So yeah, there are indeed new people. Also, at least on Virtue, I've never had trouble finding a team when I want one, indeed, I'm much more likely to be bothered by people sending me team invites I'm not interested in!Quote:Originally Posted by Championess
Yeah sure the game probably has picked up a few more subs but it's more of the old crowd that used to play this game, how much is a game with dated looks and graphics going to attract new customers?

And my favorite - Nurse N33dl3z:
While I've seen other Freakshow PCs, I think I'm the only one who plays a Meat Doctor. -
I hated my Warshade but loved the character, so I re-rolled her as a Fire/Pain corruptor and recolored all the blasts and heals to look like Warshade energy.
I rerolled my DD Defender/scrapper as a DS/Thermal and recolored the thermal to look Dark for character consistency.
I've got an Earth/Rad where the Rad is all recolored dark brown to continue the Earth theme (it really looks like clouds of dirt or dust)
I recolored all of my Clockwork Elec/Elec's blasts a different color just because >.> She's like playing a christmas tree! -

Staph, or Staphylococcus, the usual culprit in Staphylococcal infections is S. Aureus, bit of a nasty bug, especially in it's Incarnate form where it caps out in resistance to Methicillin.

Quote:This is what I think, and what I hope. Having just gotten a new shiny video card and being able to truly enjoy Ultra mode and the beauty of Praetoria at more than 10fps, the legacy zones look pretty scrubby in comparison. I would love to see them re-launch CoX with the older zones buffed up, the contact trees trimmed and made to flow better, and perhaps some engine changes to tone down the lag and the rubberbanding that run rampant through this game no matter what your settings are at.Originally Posted by Lightslinger
City of Heroes 2.0
-Not a traditional MMO sequel in that a new box is released, the old game is pushed to the side and the playerbase is fragmented, City of Heroes 2.0 is an evolution and "re-launch" of City of Heroes. By utilizing City of Heroes' current staggering amount of content, revamping the game engine, introducing some new systems and upgrades, City of Heroes 2.0 could be re-launched to the public to compete with other more current MMOs
Power Pool/EAT/MM power customization and the abillity to have the game set and remember your preferred idle/fly/costume change animations would be delicious frosting on that cake.
This would be a bonus and a good "reason" to launch 2.0 as a big deal. Not JUST polished-up old assets (which would be the complaining cry of many, "you didn't give us anything NEW!") but also the invasion from Praetoria and hopefully a tie-in from Cimmoria/Oro to wrap all those loose ends up.Quote:Originally Posted by Havoc_X
My guess it the full blown incarnate system, they don't want that leaked.
Either that or the "Coming Storm" FINALLY comes... (invasion from Praetoria anyone)
Heck, if it's even a fraction of those things, I can sure see the need for a signed NDA! Just the news that it was happening would blow people's minds!
Re: DR in PvE - everyone who thinks this would be a good addition to the game is pretty much playing damage-dealing characters and not controller/defender/corruptors, imo. It would be a fairly fatal blow to certain ATs being able to solo on anything above +0/x0. I would have to seriously reconsider my sub I guess - I just watched my other MMO (LOTRO) self-destruct to a bunch of game-wrecking changes, I don't think I can handle CoX doing it too

I love the wedding pack pieces, I can't imagine why anyone thinks the wedding pack is anything close to the anti-value of the Party Pack :P

Quote:I'd like to throw in a vote for this. This would be EXCELLENT, and help a lot of theme issues where you really want a certain type of character's body (say, monstrous fur) but you'd also like them to wear clothes (like say, a tank top.)Originally Posted by Tannim222
I was thinking how great it would be to have some of the "skin-type" costume pieces be moved from the costume setting and changed to an actual Skin category. The Skin category would include such pieces as Stone, Metallic, Monstrous, Plant, Zombie, etc...
This way, more costume pieces can be chosen to go over this new skin type, instead of the skin type just being the costume piece itself. -

Quote:As a lefty, this (http://www.simhq.com/_technology2/technology_091a.html) has pretty much saved my gaming/mmo'ing life. I always had to re-bind all my relevant keys to the num pad so I could keep my left hand on the mouse pad, and then steer with the arrows... very messy setup in a lot of games, trying to decide which most vital keys I could bind around. The Zfang is the best lefty-friendly pad I've come across, easy to use, and I can bind different layouts for the different games I play. I <3 it.Originally Posted by Fulmens
WASD: I can hit 1-4 from the WASD keys very easily. If there is one thing I could go back in time and change, it would be to get a job I love ten years ago. If there was another thing, it would be to rebind, and train myself to use ESDF when I started this game six years ago, so I could have more hotkeys within easy reach.
You know, I'd kinda put "keybinding" in the list of 10 useful elements people overlook. You can really customize your game playing keys, be they on the keyboard or a pad, to do most of the useful things with the most convenience to you. I know that's one of the first things I do in any game.
