Seem to recall seeing it more after the server was introduced - plus they keep mentioning "Dev event on exalted," etc. when they do - thus the comment. I'd expect to see it more often there than anywhere else.
Please explain how it would be possible for anyone to see the devs making announcements on the Exalted server's Admin channel "before" the Exalted server existed?
Of course we see it happen more "after" the server was added. Everything happens more often on a server after it gets added to the game. -

If time truly is money then they should have allowed toggles to stay active during rocket board/magic carpet. They would have made way more money and thus their time would have been worth more. Instead they suckered themselves out of money. I bought the rocket board you know how the old saying goes "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"
They lost a customer in me and others. I would have bought every travel power released if only toggles were allowed to stay active. Now I won't. Those words that's money flushing down the toilet for paragon studios cause some lazy developer couldn't spend a little extra time to code that toggles stay active while these travels are active.
Wish I was allowed to half *** my job like some of these devs do lol.
And not purchasing any further non combat travel powers is the most effective way for players to show their dissatisfaction with a particular product.
However the devs are going to look at the total numbers of sales made when they listen to customers making complaints. If the sales are lousy then they will either stop making the powers or redesign them. If the sales are high then they will view that as proof that the majority of customers are satisfied with the powers and they'll continue to make them as is. -
I think the way things work on the test servers now is anything that is going to be sold in the store has to be "bought" first, and anything that is going to be given to everyone as part of an issue will be available immediately.
But that's just a guess. -

2. Complaining and suggesting are two different things, I was infact suggesting.
Or did you forget posting that? I can see how that's possible considering how often you flip flopped on what this thread was intended to be.Quote:Originally Posted by Sheogoth
Sire/madam, I have a right to complain as I am a paying customer, my input is just as good as yours.
First you started it off as a complaint/petition, then changed it to a suggestion, then back to a complaint, and now it's a suggestion again.
That can get confusing especially with all the editing you've been doing every couple of hours.
Rofl! This from the person who insulted the devs in his first post by accusing them of being lazy for not fixing powers that aren't broken.Quote:Originally Posted by Sheogoth

Quote:Reading comprehension. You should get some and use it. Nowhere did I say you have no right to complain. What I have been refuting is your pathetic insistence that certain powers are broken when they in fact are working exactly as they were designed to.Originally Posted by Sheogoth
You're right, walk is priority one on this list of my; as it makes no sense to deny the use of powers only due to the fact you reduce your pace.
The only thin that annoys me about you is this "It's working as intended so no one has the right to complain." Sire/madam, I have a right to complain as I am a paying customer, my input is just as good as yours. Why should -anyone- complain about -anything-. Your's is a tragic mentality to have, why get walked on like a common carpet if you have a voice.Now go smack down someone else's requests and feedback, I'm deathly tired of you repeating yourself.
If you are going to complain about game mechanics don't make up or twist the facts. When you do that people will call you on it just as they have done here.
And if you don't like people disagreeing with your, "complaints" as you call them, then you should send them directly to the devs via private message. When you post openly in the forums you have no authority to dictate who responds. -
Quote:Nice try but you still fail. You are the one upset because you can't formulate a valid argument to support your suggestion. And please quote where I claimed to be above the topic of this thread. If I felt this suggestion was beneath me I wouldn't bother responding.Originally Posted by Sheogoth
I shouldn't even respond to a dreg, but -seriously-? Angst? Childish? Pretty low to try to insult someone who is merely suggesting something. If I go back a page you start an argument with snowballs, and provide a link with very vague information. FOr someone so "Above" this topic you sure spend alot of time in it.
But please continue, the mental gymnastics you're performing are entertaining. -
Quote:Oh so now you are trying to go back to the false argument that the powers in question are broken when in fact they aren't.Originally Posted by Sheogoth
Now why should I and anyone else "just deal" with -anything- we pay for? That's like buying a tire that has a leak, and going "Welp, we'lll refill this later" I'm sorry if I unintentionally got on your bad side.
A tire with a leak is in need of repair because it isn't functioning as it was intended to. These powers are working exactly as intended. You simply don't like the way they were designed.
Now it is possible that in the future the devs may release new travel powers that allow the use of other powers while they are active, but the devs are not going to redesign the current ones. -
Quote:You have to unlock the power set first by buying it from the Paragon Store. You can open the store window on the beta server from the character creation screen.Originally Posted by Angela1761
From my understanding we can now access the staff fighting powerset on the beta vip server... however I don't seem to be able to see any of it. I am a VIP subscriber, I have the beta test server, test server, and main CoH game server/client. Am I missing something maybe? Is this a known bug?
Thanks!

Quote:Dark's correct. The amount of work it took the devs to create Ninja and Beast Run was a big factor in their decision to make the new travel powers as simple as possible. By making them as they are they've been able to get more powers out than previously possible.Originally Posted by DarkGob
I love when someone has been proven so completely and irrevocably wrong yet they insist on digging their heels in anyway.
Don't make statements about what should be "easy" to code. The devs have specifically stated that these powers work this way because of the amount of time that it would take to create new animations (and yes, they would be new animations). Beast/Ninja Run aren't the same because while they are animations themselves like the Flying Carpet and Hover Board, you don't maintain the positions when your powers animate. Instead you just play a different animation, then return to your previous animation. That won't work quite as well for an animation involving something that is meant to be another object (the board/carpet would just vanish while your power animates, then reappear when it's done), hence the requirement of a metric pantload of new animations. It has nothing to do with the devs' magical fantasyworld of "intent" where everyone shall play the game as They demand (and that is certainly an issue in some areas of the game), it's purely a matter of practicality.
You're wrong. Sorry. This is where you go "oh well" and let it die.
Oh but that's right, I'm just being "snarky", so it doesn't matter what I say, because it's impossible to be correct and derisively mock someone's ridiculously wrong opinions at the same time. -
Quote:The devs do and don't do lots of things that some people think is stupid.Originally Posted by Remaugen
And if that's exactly what the Dev's intended. . . Well then that's kinda dumb in my opinion.
Some people think it's stupid they can't respec out of power sets.
Some people think it's stupid that the devs refuse to let us email SG invites to our own characters.
Some people think it's stupid the devs refuse to merge the servers.
Some people think it's stupid that the devs let players form closed leagues in the Queue.
Everyone has a pet peeve they think the devs are stupid for doing or not doing.
There isn't an MMO in existence where everyone is happy with their devs decisions. -

Hm, this picture provides no information on if the snowball had and object inside ( only contact with ground/surface/etc.), now let's apply this logic a game where even dominators can take a clip of bullets with no problem and pedestrians are immortal.

Quote:The fact that some players try to use the powers in combat situations isn't relevant. The powers are still deliberately designed to prevent the use of all other powers.Originally Posted by Sheogoth
I would think that Coyote would be the only "cosmetic" as it changes your model. But to address your thematic and RP rebuttal many people role play cocky/fearless characters that would gladly toy with their victim (walking), use a magic carpet for maneuverability in combat, or in fact need to used a jet pack/hover-board for moving around quickly while in combat (Example: Silver Surfer. With this area I would understand something that confined the entire body to restrict movement however the aforementioned do not. as I do role-play.
None of the powers you are complaining about are required to play the game. They were only added to flesh out character concepts. They are purely fluff, just like the snowball power that does no damage. -

This is why is acts as a petition, I'm -deeply sorry- I ever posted this on Suggestions and Ideas. But this is not the time for arguments, thank you for your feedback.
You started off by suggesting with the title of your thread that there is something broken with the Walk/Hover Board powers when the truth of the matter is that these powers are working exactly as the devs designed them.
Furthermore if you haven't noticed they have added more travel powers that work the exact same way, and even more variations are in development or are soon to be released.
These are cosmetic/thematic/RP powers that grant players greater freedom in customizing their character concepts. They were never intended for use in combat. Thus the ability to use attacks or defenses were never coded into them. -

Concept or not, those four listed are still viable choices with Shield Defense and just because you don't like them, doesn't mean you can discount them out of hand as viable choices *at all*. There are also two other archetypes that use Shield Defense, and Tanks/Brutes have four more powersets that are usable with Shield Defense, for a total of 13 powersets you can use with Shield Defense, and 6 you can't (one of which is not available yet, Staff, so really 5).
Your initial statement read like you were stating a game fact, when you were in fact stating a highly restricted opinion based on one archetype and what powersets you like.
Can't use: Claws, Spines, Dual Blades, Katana, Titan Weapons [and Staff Fighting]
Can use: Battle Axe, Broad Sword, Dark Melee, Electrical Melee, Energy Melee, Fiery Melee, Ice Melee, Kinetic Melee, Martial Arts, Stone Melee, Street Justice, Super Strength, War MaceQuote:Originally Posted by DreadShinobi
I'll say it again. For *me* they aren't viable. For others they may be. For others, there may be sets (whether the same or different than me) that they don't consider viable choices with SD, this goes for any set too. The point is lost now though, so it doesn't matter.
Regardless of that, 40% of scrapper primaries can't be paired with SD, which is alot.
I swear if you two don't start behaving I'm going to turn this thread around and you can both go to your rooms and think about what will happen when your father gets home with his belt!!

Quote:That's assuming the Queue fills teams to the max before starting TF's. If on the other hand it uses the minimum number required you'll get 33 instances with 1 player left over. And judging by what I've seen in the current queue system it doesn't try to fill out full 8 man teams.Originally Posted by gameboy1234
100 divided by 8 is 12 with 4 left over, so 13 instances of Posi (one with only 4), but yeah, basically this.

Quote:Both Walk and Rocket Board are working exactly as the devs intended. Nothing is broken. Get used to it.Originally Posted by Sheogoth
We all have been annoyed by accidentally clicking walk to dropped out of the sky/detoggle our shields, or we just plan like using walk. You people seriously need to fix walk so we can use our powers with it. I mean if we can run/super speed/ninja run/fly/jump/super jump/run like a ninja throw a punch/shoot/heal/buff and land, then why can't we walk and use our powers? It doesn't seem to be one huge coding problem since we can fly without any trouble. If there is a canon reason, I'd -love- to hear it, and so would he rest of us!
This thread acts as a petition and discussion thread. Players: Give me your all knowing input, or sign it.
I mean come -on- developers, designers, implementers. Have you really gotten -this- lazy?
CIty of heroes was made to be a game of diversity, where we could customize how we wanted and play how we wanted, not a set of gloves that only fits one hand. -

Quote:I have to admit I have mixed feelings about gating costume pieces. On one hand I don't mind getting a costume piece by earning an achievement of some sort, but I never liked that we had to wait until level 35 to be able to get access to the Roman costumes, or have to keep our accounts active for a year or more to get costume sets as vet rewards.Originally Posted by cybermitheral
I was thinking no (nooooooooooooooooooooooo) to all of this while reading all the replies but then got to thinking what do all players get for hitting level 50 (apart from a feeling of accomplishment if it was done without extensive PLing)?
Incarnate access - not everyone gets that.
A badge - not everone is a badgewhor-hunter (ahem).
Do players DESERVE something (anything)? No.
However my brain then stabbed me in the back by thinking what about some extra "Level 50" costume pieces. Once you hit 50 THAT toon can access extra costumes?
What allows another player to look at me (and not my Info) and see that I hit max level?
When a Hero/Villain hits 50 they are Uber awesome (Incarnate is OMFGUber Awesome with OMGWow attached) and should be able to look the part (should but not HAVE TO).
As to what the costume pieces would be?
Well obviously not like the Incarnate pieces that you buy with Astral/Emp Merits.
Head, shoulders, chest, gloves, aura, cape, boots covering different "types" (like techno gear for the sci-fi toons, enchanted gear for the magic-users and something more... natural).
Or what about an extended Battlecry? Allow double the length of characters for your F10
Gating complete sets behind things ruins too many character concepts. No one likes having to wait until the middle or the end (level wise) of a characters career. Or having to wait months or years to get the costume set you want. -
