Quote:The Pocket D pack has been on the beta test server for at least a week. Plenty of time to check out what it contained before it went live.Originally Posted by Slazenger
Don't know about anyone else,but I feel a little ripped off.
I was aware the VIP TP power was in it which I already had, but thought, oh well I'll buy the individual pieces that I want, I then noticed in the bundle that there were 2 Dance emotes (at the time I thought new ones), now I couldn't locate these new individual emotes, so I thought the only way to get these emotes was to buy the bundle. So I have the bundle now and to my surprise the emotes were the ones I had purchased in the party pack WTF!.
Why must the full list and pictures of what's in the pack be shown after you have purchased them.
How was I to know the emotes that I wanted, thinking they were new, were emotes I had already (next time could marketing label them as new or old emotes).
Not Happy
Will think twice before buying another bundle with poor descriptions on it. -
The forums need a new icon to let people know what to expect before they enter a thread.

Look, if you're upset that I didn't give you a problem, then a solution, then allow you to declare it obvious, so you have to resort to calling me a liar, hey, whatever makes you happy. You do what you have to do, and I get this thread to point to whenever I need to remind people how your brain works.

Notice how the OP is accusing everyone else of the very things (Lies, obfuscation, insults) he is guilty of doing in this thread. Priceless.

Yup fine job you did ther Arcana. You just keep those lies a rolling and eventually someone other than me will call you on it.
Go back and reread her post. She never lied. She truthfully said that the recharge buffs were a big part of the problem.
For someone who claims to be "fairly awesome at figuring out where bugs are even if they don't make much sense for most" without ever having to look at the actual code, you somehow managed to overlook the blatantly obvious fact that she flat out told you that the recharge buffs were only part of the problem.Quote:Originally Posted by Arcanaville
Turns out a major part of the problem was recharge buffs, but that was a very non-obvious bug.
You could say that some of us also made the same error but that hardly matters since only you and Border_Line were the ones claiming how easy it is to add features and identify problems without ever seeing the actual game code.
Oh and did you also notice that Border_Line stopped responding after he baited you into supporting his ridiculous statements? Maybe he just got tired of this thread, or had RL issues that are preventing him from responding sooner. -
It's always possible that they intended the Roman pack to serve the same purpose as the Christmas and Halloween packs. After all they did make a big thing about
Roman = Roman(ce)
Cupid originally a Roman god that has become synonymous with romance.
Cupid's Bow added to the Roman Pack
From the advertisement
Quote:And like both previous holiday packs this sale ends when the Spring Fling ends.Shoot "Rome" into "Romance" with new featured items in the Paragon Market™!
Cupid's bow shoots straight to the heart of romance in this costume bundle of Roman-inspired pieces! Like the Roman empire, this 23-piece set won't last forever--it's available in the Paragon Market until February 29, 2012!
Still I myself would love it if they'd sell the Toga, Sandals, and Laurel on the market.

If they offered a Spring Fling Pack just during the event I'd buy it..

yeah that first shot gives the helmet a 'Special Needs' look. But the 2nd shot isn't so bad. Maybe we'll have to see it in motion.
I can't take Dredd seriously with this mental image.

The first movie's sets and costuming were fantastic. I wish they'd kept elements for the reboot - my complaint isn't so much the helmet as the drabness of the uniforms. Yes, they look like functional swat gear, and that's a good thing, but they're also supposed to be *uniforms* - something you can identify at a distance.
I would have liked to have seen the gold trim kept. Adding the shoulder flares to that picture would make the helmet look smaller.
It's the lack of spit and polish that bothers me. Judges are living examples of Law and Order and should always have shining spotless uniforms that are easily recognized like in the first film.
Sure it's okay to get grunged up in a firefight but the new uniforms detract from what a Judge represents. -

Quote:Judge helmets aren't motorcycle helmets. The helmet is standard issue for all Judges regardless of vehicle their assigned. The closest comparison would be the ballistic helmets used by the military and police.Originally Posted by TheBruteSquad
The helmet isn't too big. It's a motorcycle helmet. Any person of average build who puts a motorcycle helmet on looks that way.
That is what it should look like. The first movie was spot on.
In this movie the helmets looks goofy.

Quote:Everyone notice how Durakken has changed his tune?Originally Posted by Durakken
No.
let's say someone actually wanted to test this...
Well first we'd need some code that isn't purposefully obfuscated. Secondly, I'd need to be allowed to play with the program. then I'd make a guess and then they'd have to figure out based on what i would have said in general and use it to locate and fix the problem.
In other words... it requires someone that is honest and competent and the likely hood of someone being that when it comes to "testing" me from this community is about as low as you can possibly get.
When Arcanaville gives an example of a subtle bug and what the fix was, he was all, that solution was obvious to me. When he's never seen the code.
But when it's suggested that other actual subtle CoH bugs that have been fixed be mentioned so mr "I'm fairly awesome at figuring out where bugs are even if they don't make much sense for most" can demonstrate how awesome he actually is by telling us what he thinks was done to fix the problems, he now wants to impose conditions that don't exist in real life and furthermore insults Arcanaville's and the dev's honesty and competence by implying that there is no one in the community that can be trusted. -
Translation: Your ability to spot the "obvious" requires 20/20 hindsight.

Not buying it for a second. In my personal experience the only times I've seen seen people say something like that is when they knew they were doing exactly what they were claiming not to have done.
Giving you the benefit of doubt at best you are assuming it would have been obvious to you.
It would be nice if we could test your self proclaimed powers of deduction by listing a few issues and letting you tell us what you think is the problem and then compare that to the actual cause of the problem. -

You can't repopulate Praetoria. Like the Rogue Isles, it will always be a niche region because most people come to this game looking to play as a standard superhero. It was only popular when it first came out because it was the new shiny and it wasn't as drab as the existing starter content back then.
Wait are you actually suggesting that the reason most people play super hero games is because they want to play super heroes?

Quote:With all due respect, Clockwork O1 has already explained why the devs turned off all powers on the non combat travel powers.Originally Posted by Vexen777
Fighting from vehicles looks pretty bad. Hence why the Devs were smart enough to turn off all powers on the Rocket Board and Magic Carpet.

It requires the modification of every animation currently existing in the game to work with these movement modes.
Furthermore, it requires every new animation created in the game going forward to be created with these additional movement modes in mind, increasing the number of animations needed for every new power set, emote, etc.
This is not a simple request, it is an exponential increase in time and work for every new animation that is put into the game.
And in that response he's only addressing the animations it would take for each existing power and each power that will be added as the devs keep developing new power sets.
He doesn't even broach the multitude of other things that would need to be modified on to get things to work right. -
I think the best way to repopulate Praetoria is to create a new GM that randomly appears in Mercy Island and Atlas Park next the the Trainers and group teleports everyone in a 200ft radius to Nova Praetoria and randomly changes their alignments to either Resistance or Loyalist.
Mwahahaha! -

Why would you think this was nearly impossible for me to do? I can think of lots of examples, because I have practical experience to draw upon.
For example, both prior to and during I14 beta - aka Architect beta - I did *a lot* of testing of critter behavior. Lots of things struck me as weird, but a long standing issue that was generally known for a long time was the fact that critters did not always use all of their attacks. This was most troubling when it came to mastermind pets. Sometimes you'd upgrade a pet with an attack only to discover it never used it, ever.
Turns out a major part of the problem was recharge buffs, but that was a very non-obvious bug. There's no logical reason to expect that improving the recharge of powers would make a critter not use certain ones. The *obvious* logical thought process was this: since the critter's attacks were recharging faster, it might end up using the same attacks over and over at the expense of other attacks. But it often happened that the critter stood around and did nothing when recharge buffed, even if it attacked just fine when not recharge buffed.
That was a very non-obvious bug, and it took a lot of very careful testing to figure out what was ultimately happening.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Arcanaville. Doing what Durakken thinks is impossible.

Quote:Now hold on just a minute. Even you have to admit that there was only one thing that prevented Stallone from nailing Dredd's character. And that is the simple fact that the movie wasn't a silent film.Originally Posted by Nericus
Which is good for two reasons imo:
1. Not everything from comics translates well to the big screen
2. The more distance this movie puts between it and Stallone-Dredd the better.
Armand Assante should have played both Dredd and Rico.
