Quote:Too bad they didn't fix all the MF exploits...Originally Posted by StormSurvivor
I'm one of those that prefers it without the prompt, although the ability to set it as an option would be fantastic.
I'm fairly sure that they didn't just bring it back for the lulz. They removed the prompt because it could be used to exploit the buff and get them all. I'd imagine they just removed the prompt to put a stop to it for the time being, and have now fixed it and put it back as it was.
I could however be totally incorrect.

Quote:CoH: we sometimes walk backwards into the future to relive the mistakes of the past!Originally Posted by Heart Attack
As of the patch today when you are given a fortune you have to accept it again, seems like a retrograde step and to make things interesting you now have a graphic show when it's cast on you which stops you in your tracks for about 3-5 seconds which earlier today got my wife killed in a mission.
Wonder if this is intended? Has anyobe seen todays patch notes? -

Please sir! Can we kill the 'Hulk have Rash!' movement style that the Huge models are stuck with? Because Real 'big' people just don't move like that! We may be massive and a bit ponderous, but we are Graceful too!
Be Well!

So, no, having IOs slotted is not "Hoarding" them, any more than putting gas in my car and driving around is "hoarding" gas, or buying food and making dinner is "hoarding" food. Crafting a bunch of IOs and sticking them in the base just to have them around, or to speculate that the price will go up in the future and throwing them on the market? That's hoarding.
Bill you get a cookie. -
If they do that I hope they move them into a vet reward power list.

So every few years everyone gets all the rewards and people who started the day before roll over are earning the same as the people who have been in game since preorder of CoH?
So...how would it be a veteran reward program at that point? -
How come when all the AE stuff was added to the game manual to Base Raid stuff wasn't removed?

Quote:But it is weaker...so you wouldn't oppose this idea if off origin choices reduced power?Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
All my characters can use it regardless of origin. Note those last three words, which are the relevant bits to the discussion.

Way to skip the rest of the post. Point missed quite impressively.

Quote:Magic users could choose the natural bonus if they wish because they overlap in game...that was already covered...Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Why should my Magic user, a generally intelligent individual, not be able to memorize how to poison a knife and throw it? It's not like building a car from scratch - but from not being Natural, that's locked out.

Quote:You would have to change it at respec because it would invalidate some insp choices.Originally Posted by Biospark
Hello Memphis,
I think that I get what your saying now.
There was a suggestion thread recently where I suggested being able to change your origin at the tailor as part of the upcoming mutant pack. We can already change our size and body-type, along with just about everything else.
What if we could alter our origin ? Would that solve the problem ?

Strawman.
There's good growth and evolution, and bad growth and evolution. Your examples? C'mon, really? Someone picking a new powerset (psi blasters, rad blasters, etc.) does not affect every blaster, or everyone who had the same origin. Sure, some people will want to reroll a character because it fits better - but it doesn't change every single blaster out there because of a throwaway choice they made 6 years ago.
IOs do not change every single character out there, or make assumptions about every single character out there as a change to having origins "do something" would. They don't, just by virtue of existing, make a preexisting AR blaster suddenly more powerful *by default* than a Fire blaster, or change the options a Fire blaster has.
Having Origin mean something now would be like having which starting zone/contact you picked suddenly change your options. Would you be annoyed if you were locked out of something that actually affects your character because you picked Atlas instead of Galaxy to start a character six years ago? Or because you chose to start with Kalinda instead of Burke? (Yes, in Praetoria, from what we know, there are going to be some other options, but that information by contrast will be given *from the beginning.*) -
Quote:What it would break?Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Im confused...are you saying Origin SHOULD mean something, or SHOULDNT?
As far as Im concerned, Origin should just be left as it is. Changing it would break a LOT of stuff that really doesnt need breaking, thanks all the same. -
Origin means nothing, lets rip em out or make them mean something.
The only thing Origin does now is make it so you can't use some of the drops you get.
--edit(s)--
Also, that kind of logic means nothing should ever be built on or added to or spiced up.
Blasters couldn't use psychic attacks before issue 12 everyone who rolled blaster before then was robbed!
People who didn't choose natural before Issue 7 were denied there rightful throwing knives.
The game played fine without IOs, Dual Builds, and Customization we should have left that alone as well!
MMOs either grow and evolve or they die.
Just ask the elephant who is about to redo its core rules and have a major expansion, it's not doing it because it has dwindling numbers or is flat lining it's doing it to stay competitive and keep people coming back for more.

Quote:For some reason Natural and science don't overlap...I think its for fairness.Originally Posted by Biospark
Yeah, I thought about overlap as well. The important thing would be that a character would have to choose one path and could only change with a respec.
I had also considered that the science origin would get a choice of using either Mutation, Natural or Tech as their special origin progression. Magic would the only one in-accessible to them. -
Quote:I'ld hate to break you heart but I don't think such a list exists as of yet.Originally Posted by RedSwitchblade
Signed, but I'm waiting for the show-stopping poster with the 30-item bullet list as to why the devs will never implement it, complete with quotes
A slider would do nicely for this function. -
While I like the idea in principle I see some overlap which could be annoying.
I think this is nicely covered in our DO overlap and would like to see the same applied tot his concept. So a Tech Origin super can use to use either the Technology, Natural, or Science bonus while a Natural super would be able to pick Natural, Technology or Magic and so on and so forth. -
Only if they make the shoulder part clear as well.

Quote:If we didn't have a significant portion of the player base abuse the crap out of exploits they wouldn't have to use temporary fixes at all. The good will they extended early in the game life was ruined with Winter Lord farming, dumpster herding and other shenanigans; it was killed when AE was released and the farms trampled the intended use use of the system.Originally Posted by BlueMalik
Exactly, thank you Clebstein. I think they should have waited to make an appropriate change to solve whatever problem they had instead of destroying rewards across the board and then saying, "Too bad, dismantle your arc." I swear to God, if whoever let this f-up pass was a contractor, and they needed to replace windows in a building - they would bring a crane with wrecking ball!
Those days are gone, we ruined it.
They aren't coming back, the player base can't be trusted not to abuse the system.
--edit--
Also to fix your little analogy they didn't take out the wall, they boarded up the window to prevent break ins and weather damage till the new frame and glass was available. -
Did anyone mention that a wizard did it yet?

Just think with the new EAT rules you new have two more villain ATs you could level and they branch so that's a potential of at least 4 new characters to start on!
