Channel colours. Please can we assign our own channel colours? On a per window basis would be really fantastic, but globally would be okay. I have two channels in a window where one of them gets a lot less traffic and it would really be useful to have it come up in a massively different colour.

Umm.. You already can mate... In the chat window, click channel name, choose "Set channel color" from popup menu. Select to preference.

Come on. When fighting +2 or +3 missions with a cyst next to an AV????? You may have no problem but that doesnt mean your team wont.


[/ QUOTE ]

I let the team worry about the AV whilst I slap the Cyst. Quick warning before it blows so they can get out of range, and jobs a good un.

[ QUOTE ]

Dwarf is poor. After 35 they cant come anywhere close to a tanker on practically any level.

[/ QUOTE ]

Whilst dwarf damage is low, and it could do with an auto-hit in the taunt, I don't really have ANY problems tanking with it. I can hold an AV without too much bother, and can even knock it down sometimes with the foot stomp. Sure they're not as good at tanking as a pure tank, but you're making the mistake many people make; they're not SUPPOSED to be!

TBH, I wish people would stop comparing them to the other AT's. They're nothing like them, and were never MEANT to be anything like them. You don't see anywhere NEAR as much comparison with the VEATs, so why do people keep doing it to the HEATs? Treat them as a unique AT instead of comparing them to others, and maybe, just maybe, you'll figure out how to actually PLAY them.

Ill duel you anytime with my pb if u want. I do pvp with it now and again but mainly for the aforementioned novelty value. Until every single person guns for you shouting "LOLPVPB!"

[/ QUOTE ]

THAT kind of attitude is exactly why so many people can't stand PvP in this game... It's full of immature idiots who think that their ultra optimised, fully purpled out, PvP only toons are the business.

[ QUOTE ]
And BAM you are completely useless to all. No damage, very poor aggro control. You STILL have to retoggle back in human form.

I have a human/dwarf pb and i know full well how useless dwarf form is. That argument is old. Try fighting a map of CoT or any of the other non stop mezzers and tell me that a pb is contributing anything bar novelty to a team.

They will continue to be such. Novelty AT that gets invited to teams out of pity. Until the CYST turns up and the team breaks up or they force the pb to change toons.

[/ QUOTE ]

Perhaps useless to you, but that might just be down to build or play style. Personally, my triform PB steamrolls through pretty much ALL mobs, only slowing down a little for EB's and Malta sappers. Dwarf form is FAR from useless either. I can quite happily tank AV's as long as there's an empath around to throw a heal at me every once in a while.

TBH, your comment about Cysts is kind of telling. I don't have ANY problems dealing with those things, and usually solo the buggers even when teaming.

Regardless of pvp changes khelds will STILL NOT HAVE MEZ PROTECTION.


[/ QUOTE ]

What utter utter rubbish.. I really don't know why people persist in believing this blatant falsehood... Kheldians have LOADS of mez protection; arguably some of the best mez protection in game, in fact. It's called Dwarf Form. It's a toggle power, just like many other forms of mez protection. All you have to do is click it, and bam.. No one is mezzing you. If fact, with these changes, it just got better too.

[ QUOTE ]
And I think I am justified in wanting at least some pvp capacity for the hero epics as some of the VEATs seem specifically designed to perform excellently in PvP. Why else do they have such huge amounts of mez protection and resistance?

[/ QUOTE ]

Perhaps, instead of blowing off steam, you actually READ what Castle posted. These changes are for PvE only, as clearly shown in the announcement title. There will be a post in the coming days/weeks detailing the upcoming PvP changes as well. Currently they're not finalised so he can't tell us what's changing there... Yet.

"Typo" entirely deliberate.

A little more info would help.. At what point can't you connect? The updater? The login screen? The server selection? Char selection?

[ QUOTE ]
Maybe I am just negative as the khelds will still be a non option for pvp while some VEATs seem tailor made to be highly effective all round pvp'ers.

[/ QUOTE ]

This doesn't bother me in the slightest, seeing as PvP is complete carp anyway. This game is primarily PvE, and always will be, no matter how much they try to glue PvP elements to it.

I think I'll keep triform for my main build, but maybe go Nova/Dwarf for secondary build...

Hmm... Decisions, decisions...

My only concern with these changes is that it pushes Khelds quite close to the dreaded "TankMage" label, and thus might get nerfed a bit...

I don't want them to nerf these changes... I *LIKE* these changes!

With all ADSL broadband packages, mileage varies with distance from your exchange. For me, ADSL isn't really an option as my local exchange hasn't been unbundled and my in-laws, who live 2 streets from me, can barely get 2mbit. I'm on cable, and get 20mbit. Virgin have some irritating speed caps if you download too much which has hit me a few times, but I'm not giving up my 20mbit!

Oddly, whenever I use the online tools to check my phoneline, they keep telling me I already have another package on the line that prevents me from ordering ADSL, but don't tell me WHAT. Weird, as I don't!

Either's good!

OMG!! Khelds got some LURVE!!!

They'd just go like this:

Are forum polls rubbish?

[ ] Yes
[ ] Absolutely
[ ] You betcha
[ ] What's a forum poll?


So, no thanks. Waste of time.

Closest we have is the tattered capes. No idea if they're going to add any more parts like that, but they've been here since Issue 6, so I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

Being able to not have the siren would be nice... Not gonna happen, but it'd be nice.

Union is generally higher populated, but your BEST option to see if it's what you want, is to roll a new toon and play on Union for a few days. That'll give you a better feel for it.

I tried in 2006, but didn't complete it. Didn't try last year, and just don't have the time this year...

Hmmm.. That's pretty neat! One to stick in the diary.

Cool

Was going to get a nvidia 280 graphics card and possibly also order xp 64 as im not sure about vista!

[/ QUOTE ]

Do not, under any circumstances, go to XP64. Remember the driver problems with Vista when it first came out? They even WORSE for XP64, and most have never been fixed. There are very few device drivers for it, lots of compatibility issues, and generally it just blows chunks.

If you want to stay with XP, that's fine, but go 32bit, not 64. If you want Vista, THEN you can go 64bit, as there are no driver issues.

In other words ... you'll be seeing them emerge more and more as time goes on .

You could also give away codes for various and sundry forum/website competitions...

Ah yeah! I remember you! Welcome back, even if it is just for 10 more days!

Sooooo.... Who were you again?

And in fact, is KNOWN to cause lots of problems with CoH.
