  1. You know. I don't see where this is a bug or not working as intended.

    The devs had said this is a team game. You HAVE to do this with the help of multiple team members. You cannot do it solo. How is it a bug?

    One minute. Let me reread Positrons post.

    hmm

    ok

    yeah


    Holy fish paste. Nowhere in there did he say it was a bug.
  2. There are all kinds of family around Independance Port. That's where I plan on takeing a screenie. maybe have the giant squid in the backdrop if I can manage it
  3. There are two things I have seen that spring to mind.

    First on the uniform jacket - male: Down at the small of the back the univorm V's a little bit. instead of showing the shirt underneat its a cyan colored null type area. Rather small but it irritated my when I first saw it. i've gotten used to it now but would like to see it fixed. ((The back of these costumes is what we are looking at most of the time))

    Rock armor clipping issue: My Stone/Stone tank was made as big and musclebound as I could possibly make him. The ston armor does not scale with the size of this guy. I can see bits and pieces of the stone sticking out around his body but it is'nt right.
    I apoligize in advance if this second issue isnt part of what you do.
  4. Have the devs said anything on this? I'd be interested in hearing their reasons for makeing the buffs so miniscule.

    It seems like everything to do with bases is completely out of whack.
  5. My idea was a rough example. It is my understanding that there are three tiers of enhancment.

    tier one could maybe give you 1 or 2 resists.

    Then go from there. so yeah 2 pieces of salavage that gives you resistance to 1 instance of an attack would seem fair. And It would seem to me to be more in line with what empowerment staions are supposed to symbolize.

    That joker makes a new sleeping gas and is robbing banks by putting everyone to sleep. Batman mixes up some Bat wakeup pill before he goes to fight the joker.

    The Joker tries to put Batman to sleep but Batman says something witty and clobbers the Joker.
  6. What should have been done was something along the lines of; Instead of a 15 minutes 5% psionic resistance. It should ahve read. The first 5 hits from a psionic source is negated.

    Haveing problem with a AV that is putting you to sleep?
    Instead of 15 minutes of REsistance to sleep (which would where ff before you got to the problem) It shoudl be the first 5 times you are hit with a sleep it is negated.

    This would eliminate the short duration. make them ueful and make it hard to stockpile. After all. those 5 sleeps could be from minions. Not nesicerraly AV's.

    Okay, am I the only one wishing there was an emote that set all the thugs in formation with me, and then we all did the "Beat It" dance?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well if they let you do that with thugs, then they BETTER have an emote for Undead MM that lets your henchmen get into formation and do the "Thriller" dance!

    [/ QUOTE ]
    MUHAHAHAHA

    I want the option to summon Gang war so they appears in foramtion snapping their fingers menacingly.

    Zen Concern brings up a point I've been wondering about for a while now--why are there no Archery/Trick Arrow Corruptor sets? Seems like a fairly balanced, fairly neato thing to have for CoV. Has there ever been an explanation for this?

    /Agreed

    After having so much fun with TA/Archery, I was hoping to try the reverse.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Im still wondering about a lack of WEather control or Illusion control.

    The chaos a weather corruptor could cause....

    And I want Illusion so I can make a villain I've wanted since CoH was out

    On the flip side. Why no plant Controllers? Why no Dark Tanks? Why no Electric Scrappers?

    [/ QUOTE ]Anyone have an ID for those monitors? I'm guessing they're a functioning base item that I won't be able to get in a million years, but still hoping...

    [/ QUOTE ]
    That's the Autonomous Expert System. I posted details in the Base Construction forum, as well as multiple pics. It's a third-tier Control item, costs 2M Prestige to place, and need a 3.95M room to hold it.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    So any word on when the devs are going to make some reasonable prestige numbers?

    I swear its like they missed a decimal point somewhere. 1/10th these numbers would make things an extreme pain in the butt to get but they would at least be reachable numbers within my lifetime.

    It's not that I want everything at once but We've been playing for over 6 months now. I don't think we have even reached 1 million total prestige. Not even enough fo rthe next plot size and thats assumeing I sell everything

    The problem is, the Night Widow's smoke grenade is much more powerful than the player version.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The Night Widow's Smoke Grenade is exactly the same scale for both Perception (-90%) and To Hit debuff (-0.5) as Smoke Grenade (and Fire Controls 'Smoke' and Trick Arrow's 'Flash Arrow'.)

    The issue you are describing of critters being aware of you even after you blind them is the same problem Stalkers have with Hide -- once you have Aggroed a critter, it always knows where you are, despite Stealth or Perception changes. It's how our AI has to work, currently. It is something I'd like to see changed, but it is 'difficult.'

    [/ QUOTE ]

    What I would like to see is something in the AI that detects a change in perception then does a calculation. Can I see my target? If yes then no change. If no then do a looking around emote (like nijitsu's danger sense, or Placate) Then go back to default standing around mode.

    Of course if other characters are in range, that they can see, then they would attack. I dont see why a change in perception would be hard to detect. I detect it whenever it happens to me by the shiny new Icon at the top of the screen. The game aparently knows the power has been used.

    Now if I do something like turn invisible I can see how that might be a little harder to check. I am not actually doing anything to the enemy. Maybe add some sort of heartbeat tic every few second. Can I see target? yes or no? I dont know how hard or intensive this would be. From what I can tell the mobs dont have any kind of 'heartbeat' AI.

    THANK YOU DEVS.

    DANG IT! Now I have to fit in a room to put that in.

    Mob Vs Spawn

    [ QUOTE ]
    this GUIDE is how to use the terms CORRECTLY!

    Sick of seeing "so I ran into 3 mobs today, crit the first, stun the second, and placate + AS the 3rd mob" or the like...

    a MOB is defined as:

    1. A large disorderly crowd or throng. See Synonyms at crowd1.
    2. The mass of common people; the populace.
    3. Informal.
    1. An organized gang of criminals; a crime syndicate.
    2. often Mob Organized crime. Often used with the: a murder suspect with links to the Mob.
    4. An indiscriminate or loosely associated group of persons or things: a mob of boats in the harbor.
    5. Australian. A flock or herd of animals.


    SPAWN is more what you people want to use....a creature can SPAWN thus be called a SPAWN, not a MOB....a MOB is not a single thing....

    call them a baddie, a critter, a spawn, an enemy...not one singular thing can be called a MOB....the scrapyard MOB is a giant monster is WRONG and deems you an idiot....

    /Rant

    use this guide through out ALL issues, as it will never be outdated....


    thank you

    I always translate the word mob from my MUD days.

    Mob=Mobile NPC
  13. oh.

    Well I dont have any particular character I play for the night. I switch out constantly. All teh chars in my sig I play at least twice a week In fact I need to add Mr Disco to that list but I dont think I have room. :/
  14. Depends on my Villain. Apollo Rovenski believes loyalty leads to a long and happy life so the hero gets to live. He just gets to be experimented on and tortured for information

    Shiva queen would problably not really know what was going on and encase teh dude in ice.

    Orange Vengance, Its hard to say. depends on who. Most likely the guy would live.

    Full Throttle, Depends on how riled up he is. When he gets going things get smashed.
  15. MY main problem was I didnt know they existed until reading this forum. I had however seen doctor buzzsaw and wonderd how to get him as a contact. So in Co fashion I tried getting refered to him to no avail. It is quite frustrateing to not only not know about their existance but to have no idea how to get it even knowing its an unlockable contact i very annoying.

    Funny, I don't see Hurricane as 'broken' so much as it's 'difficult to overcome with a melee character.'

    But it CAN be overcome.

    ID (well, now, not so much), Practiced Brawler, other knockback/down protections, Focus, leaping attacks, Hover, Combat Jumping, Transference+Transfusion (properly slotted), Short Circuit/Power Sink, Tesla Cage, etc etc etc.

    Hurricane by itself isn't an "I Win" power by ANY stretch of the imagination. You just have to use your imagination to come up with ways your character can overcome it.

    The same goes for any of the other 'aura toggle' powers in the game. Hurricane just happens to be the one people are focusing on currently... next it could be Icicles.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Heh. I dont see what the fuss is about. I've been playing since Beta and fought countless sorcerers with various toons. I just thought Hurrican debuffed accuracy. I didnt know it knocked you down until someone told me it did. I think I've been knocked down once by it possibly more but I might not have known it was hurricane that did it. If anything I'd raise the precentage chance to get knocked down.
  17. Grr. I'm so tired of people complaining about no content past 50. Do you guys also complain to Hollywood about no more movie after you fast forward to the end?
  18. I would so like to go to one of these. night classes makes it harsh and Austin is a little too far for me. Dallas I could maybe drive to. It would take me al day though. Come to St. Loius. Ill ditch class.
  19. I wanted illusion for dominators

    CRY HAVOC AND LET LOOSE THE DOGS OF WAR!

    ooo mayhem missions. w00t!
