Quote:Now the forums don't suck... so, yay! My reign of terror can resume once again!Originally Posted by Master-Blade
I had some issues last night when I was on around 8pm-11pm Eastern... but then my internet went down soon after that, so I just assumed it was on my end. It was fine this morning and right now. -
Interesting... unfortunately I'm now having load issues with a LOT of other sites I hadn't tested before, so it looks like there's issues on both ends
On the plus side, that means I get to hit more people!

Is anyone else have horrible issues loading the CoH boards? This is probably on my side since I'm having some trouble with all sites, but these boards are by far the worst (other sites take 5-10 or seconds to load instead of 1... these boards haven't even been finishing loading after 5 minutes).
So I take it I'm alone in this issue, since I haven't seen any other complaints? I need to know who I should assault due to these issues

Of course, Freakshow xp is also getting reduced =/

Quote:You over looked the global handle issueOriginally Posted by Forbin_Project
They aren't suggesting merging the servers. What's being suggested is adding the EU servers to the list of NA servers. EU has what 4 servers? added to ours we'd then have 15 servers to choose from. Remember, there's a separate global system for the EU and US global servers (so 'global' is a bit of a misnomer depending on how you look at it ). Think what happened with the forums... but multiple it by 100... Yeah, I'm not looking forward to the possibility that my global name ends up ending in a region code!

Many reasons against it, including limiting the damage that someone can do if you wander away with your character logged in.

Quote:HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's a good one!Originally Posted by Bya_Kou
This is an idea pitch for an entirely new set of archeatypes, without forcing the devs into actually doing any work!
(I'm fairly certain Castle would call 'rebalancing every power in the game' 'work'... and I'm sure their programming team would call 'completely replace the AT system' 'work' as well!
)

Double Merit Weekend... it'd be like the reverse of a Double XP Weekend... instead of a massive surge of demand and inflation (causing the markets to go to hell in a handbag for a few weeks/months), it'd cause a massive increase in supplies, hopefully resulting in increased competition & decreased demand, likely causing a decrease in prices...
Sounds interesting! -
Quote:Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop right there! What on earth are you talking about?!?!?! I have not heard anything about this before (or the pets zoning thing, for that matter!)
Ask an ElA brute how they like their new heal (as opposed to *just* an END discount - which they still get.)
Does Conserve Power for Elec Armor now include a self heal?!?!?! My god... my elec brute is gonna mow down so many freakshow if this is true (BU + Fury + Lightning Rod = BEAUTIFUL ONE SHOTS!)! -
Quote:But the thing is, the powers in the game are balanced as a set first and foremost, individually is a much lower priority (and is generally only changed when there's issues with the set as a whole... Psychic Shockwave was severely overpowered, but was allowed to stay unchanged for so long due to the rest of /psi sucking, and the Dominator AT as a while being underperforming).Originally Posted by Bya_Kou
But that's the beauty of templates--the devs already made the archeatypes - We'd just be modifying them.
This change would require a massive homogenization of the powers in the game, to fit with the artificial tier labeling we've given them. Not to mention, kinda screw over the weapon sets... you can't really mix them with anything without introducing redraw penalties!
You mean, it's just a matter of nerfing it?Quote:And even if someone DOES manage to find an insanely exploitable combination, it's just a matter of replacing it with a weaker version, or moving it to another archeatype. Except, that'll cause lots of problem, for the same reason that Fire/Kins are so hard to balance... Fire Control isn't really overperforming... Kinetics isn't really overperforming... It's when you combine those two sets that things hit the fan... any easy nerf would have massive collateral damage. This change would basically be a min/max'ers dream, while making the gulf between the min/maxer and the casual gamer massive (something this game has done a great job of keeping rather small).
You never said anything about new nerfs, except the new nerfs you said something aboutQuote:What new nerfs? -I- have no idea what I'm talking about? :P I never said anything about new nerfs... 'cept the neutering of AE (its boss farms).

Quote:If his idea was implemented, there'd be massive nerfs to a huge number of powers to try to get them even slightly in line.Originally Posted by The_Coming_Storm
What new nerfs? ... Me thinks you have no idea what you are talking about at all.
(of course, his 'we only get nerfs!' rant completely missed the entire Dominator AT getting a massive buff) -
*cough*pre-beta*cough*
The original design of CoH didn't include ATs at all... and had a system a bit more like your suggestion (they found it was impossible to balance). -

*spoilers*
Villains get to make awesome speeches to the entire world, declaring everyone to now be your slaves. And being able to follow through with it. -

Quote:I think patrols follow pre-defined paths for the map... if they had an afraid mez aura, enemies would try to run out of it (like they do for caltrops, burn patches, etc).Originally Posted by Kelenar
Yeah, that's associated with another con I considered that I forgot to put in the opening post. For all I know, enemies are dumb enough that patrols and such can't be made to avoid lava.
And when I read your name, I thought it said 'Kleiner'... which is one of the characters in HL2... and I just got done playing HL2: Episode 2 with the commentary on... and loved how un-dumb the enemies were, especially with how they used the environment to their advantage (shooting ant lions off a cliff was also hilarious).

I like it. Could use lots of debuff traps on missions that could either be used AGAINST you, or if you're tricky, used BY you. I'd be nice if the AI was also made aware of these traps and would try to avoid them (for hurtful traps), get in them (helpful), or try to PULL you out of them (helpful).

On an unrelated note, where the heck is everyone getting these adorable little chibi avatars, and where can I get one? :3

We have too much Hami as it is... we don't need to add YET ANOTHER version of Hami to the game...

I'm a-coming for ya!

So, this is how it all ends... -
Quote:I'd so join that team.Originally Posted by Paladin_Musashi
Archery/Kin corruptor Superteam anyone?

Easy solution for that: Go to a thesaurus, or a translator (or another) and put random words in and see if you come up with a result that sounds kinda interesting. If you've still got no idea, head on over to wikipedia and browse their their mythology/religious articles until you find a somewhat interesting concept and run with it (combining that with a translator is often quite fun).
It works quite well for me

Options -> on the first tab, scroll down to a section about windows, then make sure the one that's something like the lines of 'Pet Window Enabled' is enabled, then apply, and then click 'Pet' (or 'Pets') at the top of the Team window.
