I'm not sure I understand how Sentinel works, does it perform a screen grab and then perform OCR recognition of your power sets and slotting?
-
Quote:I'm hoping the devs will at least consider the idea. I'm not going to install anything that in any way alters the client, so the Sentinel program is out of the question.Originally Posted by Neo Shadowdream
I've used Titan Networks Sentinel to export builds for a while now, it works perfectly for importing into Mids. While I understand your nervousness for using 3rd party programs, It cant read your password for CoH, and doesn't log keys.
But I do agree, there is a lot of stuff that the client should do that we have to use 3rd party programs to do.
At the very least, a formatted report would be useful.
As an addendum to this idea, an in-game builder would be useful as well, along with a section displaying summaries of effects much like Mids does. -
Lots of good ideas here. /signed
A few additions:
4. SG/VG logos.
I'd like a "No emblem" option.
7. AFK and Autoreply.
I'd like a "busy" message in addition to afk. Nothng more annoying than getting a tell in the middle of a respec.
11. Group Fly
I'd like an "opt out of group fly" option in game settings. I've seen people use this to annoy group mates - nothing you can do about if you're not the team lead. -
We already have Mids designer available, and I saw there was another tool available to export builds directly from the game - but it makes me a bit nervous using 3rd party plugins. Especially given the hacks that have been going on in "the other game" with their scripting language.
What would be nice is an in-game feature that allows you to export your build in a published standard format. While I wouldn't expect the dev team to create a replacement for the Mids designer (although it would be nice) - Mids could be changed to import from this new format. -
Dang, we have plant/storm trollers coming out the woodworks now.
Stop it! Stop it I say. I liked it when my troller was unique.
-
/signed
While they're at it:
1. Facial animation ( blinking eyes, mouth animation )
2. Face customization ( selection of eyes, nose, mouth, etc. individually )
3. Animated hair ( yes, I want my hair to blow in the wind
)
4. Hands that actually look like hands.
5. Ability to make costume pieces glow. Also design patterns that glow ( i.e. Tron )
6. Ability to select hair style even when the hat option is selected.
7. More types of beards, mustaches.
8. More helmets. ( I'm still waiting on my Flash style helmet ) -
Quote:I haven't done a Hami raid in a while, but they seem to have handled the lag issues in 24 man BAFs quite well with the last patch.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Won't be able to use the robot in the volcano. It's too big - it presents targeting problems. Even the Jade Spider has issues with targeting. (More specifically, with *being* targeted.)
Plus, I have to agree (and this is a point I keep bringing up as well) - the devs have to work on having their systems *handle* large raids far better than it does now. Hami and the Mothership have been KNOWN to have problems for quite some time now.
As far as targeting large GMs, I've never had any issues with Hami... I've only tried the Jade Spider arc once, and quit in disgust. -
Yeah... I know .... an old horse.
My idea:
- Add a new zone off of Striga.
- In this zone, one of the Council/5th robots has gone rogue and is totally out of control.
The big one. The one you see in the ITF. Yeah, that one.
Maybe just a tad bigger.
- The zone is filled with many GM level rogue robots that you have to kill to spawn him ( just like you do in Hami's zone ).
- Instead of Mito's surrounding him, I'd have hundreds of exit gates open on its surface, which would spew hundreds of EB/AV level robots. Until they are killed, he goes into invulnerable mode. Every X percent of his health, this would occur. ( kind of like clockwork gears )
- At random times during the raid, I'd have massive assaults by both the Council and 5th column. They both want to use the robot against the opposing faction, and they're not about to let some pesky heroes destroy their property.
I'd love another raid for Magic origin heroes .... still thinking about that one.... -
Just fyi, if you click the edges of the elevators in the 2nd phase of the Lambda trial, you can avoid having to wait. The trick is finding the sweet spot where you can click.
-
Quote:Actually, back in beta, that was they way it was originally designed. You could click on the tram door at anytime - they never explained why they took that ability away.Originally Posted by Marsha_Mallow
If you dont mind, I'd also like to add my own </Not so serious rant on>
Allow us to click on the Tram doors if they are open.
Some stations, if the doors are open you can't click on them unless the doors close and then you can choose which destination to go to. So in essence, you have to wait for the next train to get where youre going otherwise, you have to stand there with the doors wide open and cant get in. I think some elevator doors do the same thing.
Very Annoying.
</Not so serious rant off> -
Good idea, I'd like several new body types, but I think the Devs have pretty much nixed the idea of spending resources on any new animations.
-
Quote:Fair enough. I have no issue where there is perhaps 1 item left to go, and someone decides to wait around at the entrance vs entering to try to find the last glowie. What I do have an issue with is pre-meditated decisions to skip sections of the trial. I saw the same person do the cutscene in 2 straight Lambda trials - definitely pre-meditated and not off the cuff.Originally Posted by BrandX
This.
I've never seen someone posing who wasn't on the team that completed their teams task first.
Now, one could go help the other team, and that's what I tend to do, but when they're down to one left when our team has 10 already, my help isnt much more than me trying to find them.
Again, if it doesnt negatively impact the overall trial, a little cutscene frivolity is great. When it does negatively impact the trial, I get a bit aggravated.
My apologies to the prior poster for my snarky response, I usually try to avoid dissing contests in the forums. -
Quote:Well, while we're on the sarcasm bent, how about this.
I agree. Something must be done about this. All those people having fun just aren't taking this video game seriously. Having fun and enjoying oneself should be against Terms of Service.
Good call, Reverend Killjoy. Good call.
/sarcasm
I just LOVE hunting down the final two or three glowies with just 3 or 4 of us showing on the map, and on a short timer. Goodness, we wouldnt want to spoil the dancers enjoying their dance in the cutscene location while the four of us are actually trying to complete the TF step.
/sarcasm -
I've noticed this happening more and more frequently on Lambda Trials - people skipping the second phase of the mission and posing at Marauders cutscene location. They may consider this to be amusing - I consider it to be leaching. We have an objective to meet, and you're not contributing.
Suggestions:
1. As a minimum, I'd like the person's name to appear in the cutscene. This makes it easier to locate the person in the league list and 1-star note them as "Lambda Leacher".
2. A better solution would be to allow selection and right click of the person during the cutscene. That way as a player, I can go ahead and 1 star them before the 3rd phase begins. As trial leader, I would love to be able to /kick them during the cutscene.
Edit:
3. A third possibility is to just change the cutscene so no player can appear. Take away the temptation completely....
This behavior seems to be spreading, I've seen up to 4 players doing this. -
/signed for more variety in radio missions
Just fyi, you can get your fill of Cimerora and Rikti in their respective zones, since the contact there will give an unending chain of timed missions. ( I hate timed missions ) -
My understanding is that anyone using the LFG option can join an active trial that is under the maximum, not the minimum.
I've seen 16 man BAFs where the leader divided us into 3 teams and had each team locked. This is in effect a private raid, since no one can join a locked team. -
Quote:Would be a nice addition, but there a lot of other items that I'd like to see added before this.
1) Vehicles.
SGs are fine as is. I have a 1 man SG that I use to experiment with base building. I dont want this to change.Quote:2) Supergroups.
There are plenty of mission instances where you go to the other faction's zone. Considering that zones are nothing more than a bunch of mission portals, I dont see what it buys you other than a chance to look at different scenery on the way to a mission.Quote:3) Missions.
Unsigned. Not interested in pvp, and get plenty of dual challenges in games like WoW, followed by the "chicken" emote when you decline. I can do without this.Quote:4) possibly adding the option for challange another hero/villain to a dual .
I agree with this.Quote:5) Adding an option to display the real world time would be rather handy for me.
Shrug. It already feels like there are too many events happening at times. If they could code it so that the total number of events dont exceed some threshold, then more variety is fine.Quote:6) How about more global player lead events -
A couple questions concerning my plant/storm build.
I have the following in creepers:
2 Nucleolus, Posi Dmg Proc, Impeded Swiftness Proc, and 2 recharge IOs.
Would you replace the impeded swiftness or one of the recharges with the Javelin proc?
2nd question is regarding roots. I currently have a full set of enfeebled operation slotted - which has some very sweet defense bonuses. Just wondering about the pros/cons of losing that defense for some additional damage via the Posi Blast set. -
Quote:Originally Posted by Wanted_NA
In all honesty I think the perfect way to remedy the bit about Lambda trials and the temp acid powers is to make it literally explode and kill the user after 30 seconds of the first gate being taken down. That is the only way "those" people will actually start using them.
Don't bet on it. I bet after the 20th time, they'd still be saying "what the heck?"
-
What exactly does this proc look like? I've yet to see it on my plant/storm. All I've seen is the fire proc from the damage side of the interface.

This is something that everyone should keep in mind when suggesting base building features at the moment.
So, why dont we expand it to the following, which would be worthy of an entire issue:
1. Revamped base editor. Forget the concept of "stacking", I'd like a full 3D map editor where you can place any item anywhere.
2. City Zone Editor / Player Housing - the devs add several new city zones, which the users can build from the ground up. The users add buildings, bridges, rivers, statues, etc. ( city blocks and components would have to be purchased by individual users, which would be another great Inf. sink ) The users also design the INTERIORS of said buildings, which can then be utilized by radio missions in the zone.
3. The users can design personal apartments or houses, not only in these zones, but also adjuncting the SG base if desired.
If they design the editor correctly, it could be expanded to benefit the mission architect system. -
Quote:Guild Wars is partially pre-rendered. They do somehow manage to inject the team members into the cutscene. The solution for CoH is to stop using the characters running through a script and make actual videos that are present on the client side.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
The problem with skipping the cutscenes is this -
Guild Wars, Aion, etc? They're all pre-rendered. You can just stop the movie and go on. (Which would also make "Move it into a small window and move it to the side" work.)
COH? Those *are* the NPCs, "live." The models are going through a script, everything else is frozen - as you can tell if you have people spamming junk into it, or even managing to place themselves *into* the cutscene. -
Both solutions proposed in this thread would work for me.
The vote system has already been implemented in GW and should be codeable in a relatively short time.
The popup movie would probably take quite a bit more work - but would be really nice.
Now, if they would just add voice acting to the cutscenes... -
Doesnt the Mids website already have a build database? Just needs to be utilized more.
