All the attacks will be done while riding the titan weapon like a pogo stick.

Quote:Actually, 60 merits.Originally Posted by Rangle M. Down
Re-affirming your Vigilance/Rogue status does give you 50 reward merits as well.
No, you can't turn them in for A-merits as a Vig/Rogue, but if you could, A-merits cost exactly 50 reward merits and 20 Million. So should you chose to go fully hero, or back fully Villain, you've at least got the Reward Merits to turn in for an A-Merit. -
I'm considering moving Major Decoy to another server and making a new one on my home server. The other option is just making Major Distraction.
I just have to decide between Shield Defense/Super Strength, Shield Defense/Martial Arts, and Shield Defense/Street Justice. -

I "was" looking forward to CoH: Freedom.
I "was" thinking this would be a much more fair financial model akin to those used by DDO and LOTRO.
I "was" sure that I would retain everything I had already paid for and most of the unlocked things.
I "was" certain that, even if I had to pay a premium, I would be able to permanently unlock content.
But now I see the truth. "Quotation marks" added "haphazardly" to a short essay "really" make a huge difference. -

Am I the only one that noticed the range is 9 ft? Aren't most melee attacks a 7 ft range? Yes, the weapons are *that* big.
It's not uncommon for heavier attacks to have longer ranges. -
Quote:Well, we know one power is smashing damage. We don't know about any of the others yet.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Aw... And I was hoping we'd see the actual Titanic Weapons. Still, that answers the question of whether it's Smashing, Lethal or Smashing/Lethal - it's Smashing. Good enough, I suppose.

I am capable of zooming in to see different costume parts currently, but only when I don't have a specific part selected. I can zoom in when I've selected "head" but not if I've selected "face." I can zoom if I've selected Torso, but not if I've selected "Chest Detail."
It's kind of weird and I can't say precisely when it started. -
Quote:I generally find that if the waist sticks out over the belt, the solution is actually to increase the waist slider, not decrease it.Originally Posted by Serpine
He is just big-boned.
Amazingly that is the smallest waist setting. What happened is the armored top was causing an odd distortion in the belt sides without the build being scaled pretty beefy, leading to the size you see. I separately tried dropping the armored top entirely and just going for tight, which looks cool and very classicly heroic, but I started realizing that I really liked him with the bulk: He looks less sculpted then a lot of the signature characters and especially with the solid helmet he makes me think of a football player turned hero.
Edit: Nevermind, it appears that Armoured torsos expand a bit differently. -
Quote:When I saw it it was a 30 minute recharge, it cost 48.5 Endurance, and had a penalty of -25% max endurance that I don't recall the duration of.Originally Posted by Lazarillo
~Speed - Burnout - Instantly recharge all your powers, but costs 50 Endurance and has a very long recharge of its own (I've heard both 30 and 60 minutes, and that it can't be buffed, ala Strength of Will).
Hopefully, the order of the Endurance cost and the -25% max endurance is:
100 End - 48.5 end = 51.5 end remaining out of 75 end possible
rather than
100 end * 75% = 75 End - 48.5 end = 26.5 end remaining. -
Quote:Martian Manhunter is capable of decreasing his density to the point of intangibility and also turning invisible. Ghost is an Iron Man villain that's capable of Intagibility and Invisibility.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I personally feel that Phase Shift is just out of place in the Invisibility pool. It's not an invisibility power, it's an intangibility power. There are characters who can turn intangible while never being able to go fully invisible, and it is just these characters that I'd take Phase Shift on. By contrast, almost none of the characters I can think or conceive of who CAN turn invisible can also turn intangible. The conceptual link there is very tenuous.
Concept wise though: Invisible characters can make light pass through them as if they were not there. Intangible characters can make matter pass through them as if they were not there. It's not a huge leap to put them in the same pool. -
Them get pretty somewhat? Is that an anagram?
Wettest pregame myth hot? -
Quote:Well, in this case, I do rather believe that they decided "You know what, I don't think we want to do this."Originally Posted by StratoNexus
There are countless other little details that we have only learned about by information people learned at the SDCC. I think it is much more reasonable to believe the information gleaned from the SDCC (until it is changed) rather than live in suspicion that almost everything the devs showed at the SDCC is likely to turn out to be false promises and vain hope. They generally follow through on what they show us, so why would I choose to believe the opposite?
Aid Self is one of the more powerful self heals in the game. Sure, it has an interrupt time, but unless I'm taking DoT, I can usually use it during combat, without any interrupt reduction slotting.
And Invisibility without needing to take Stealth? Why would you take stealth if that were an option? -
Quote:Right, I'm aware they said nothing about it at the panel. It's just something I noticed when playing on the floor, so I asked them about it, and I was told that it was something they were trying.Originally Posted by Ssyrie
I was at the SDCC CoH Panel and all they said was travel power at level 4, 5th power for each travel pool. Nothing about any changes to the other power pools. Also, anything in the beta is subject to change. That's why I didn't become attached to anything I saw while playing the beta there.
I do understand if they aren't trying it anymore. I know the difference between a beta build and a live build. -
Quote:But what will your class be? Will you actually go the Sith Route or will you be a Telephone Sanitizer whose boss says "Oh, yeah, you're totally evil. Now take your lunch break."Originally Posted by Arcanaville
When TOR launches, I'm going to be Darth Bob. My backstory will be that I saw a late night television ad for a Galactic trade school, and it was either blaster repair or Sithing.

There's no harm in new power pools either. Why not have different power pools that offer fly? Give them different names or lock a player out from taking Fly if she already has the other power that is Fly.
New Fly Pool
Glide: Activating this toggle drastically decreases the rate at which you fall (probably by changing your jump speed to be very small)
Eagle Eye: Build-up, but with only a 40% damage boost and a 10% to hit buff.
Flight: As fly
Aerial Acrobatics: As Acrobatics. This one requires taking two other powers from this pool.
Death from Above: As the new leap attack.
I mean, why not offer multiple ways to fly? -
Quote:That's been changed then? Because I was told differently at the SDCC.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
This is not the case. Pool Tier 3 powers outside of travel powers will still be restricted as they are now. Only travel powers will benefit from this change.
Edit: Well, I was told that it was working as intended during the beta that the third tier powers were available at level four. I'm aware that it was just something that they were trying at the time, not something that they were promising with Issue 21. -
The problem with the one robot arm is that it severely limits your chest options. Dave just doesn't look right with a tie.
This further cements my need for: 1) Dress shirt 2 as a tight chest option, on both men and women. 2) Things like vests in the chest details options.
I tried Sleek Tights, and it almost looked like he was wearing a mock turtle neck, especially with the long sleeve option on his left arm, but I wasn't entirely happy with it. -

Quote:Well, yes, but the only Kheldian specific arcs are Hero Side and the only Soldiers of Arachnos arcs are villain side.Originally Posted by Smash_Zone
As for PB's and WS's villain side, we're going to be getting a new tutorial soon that will let us choose a side from the beginning, so there's no sense in making alternate versions of those.

Quote:The fact that it is Account Bound strongly suggests that that specific set was purchased from the store.Originally Posted by Johnny_Butane
The fact that it is Account Bound strongly suggests it's going to be purchasable from the store only.
It's entirely possible that, aside from putting the archetype enhancements in the store, they've also added the archetype enhancements to the drop tables.
I will say, though, it's possible, but there is no evidence to suggest that they have done so. -

Because this is litterally the most ridiculous suggestion I have ever seen. The game has /ignore and /petition for a reason.

Quote:I'd hope that City of Heroes 2 would also include a new engine and entirely new power mechanics.Originally Posted by Shadow_Kitty
But I do have a nagging feeling that the art overhaul will also be known as City of Heroes 2.
If it's just an art overhaul for sale as an expansion set, I'd call it something like "City of Heroes Renewed Freedom" -
Johnny, unless you know more about the proc than I do, you don't know enough to criticize it yet.
Yes, it's +res(all) instead of damage. That doesn't mean it's necessarily a bad proc.
Let's find out just what the numbers are before you ask for it to be improved (or changed to something else).
