Quote:I would say it is a mental thing. With walk their character is able to constantly move toward the goal. It might take roughly the same amount of time to get to the exit, but all of the running back and waiting is cut out which feels like more progress.Originally Posted by Bloodspeaker
I just don't see how walking (as it stands now) is in any way superior to jogging (sans sprint and it's ilk) a short distance, and waiting for the NPC in question to catch up, or going back to coax them away from a stuck path.
And I hadn't thought of using walk to slow myself down when leading things to the exit..... might start doing that now

Quote:I have to ask, what would be done with the regular contact mission that already has you doing this? Re-write, pull it, or have two of the exact same mission at different lvls?Originally Posted by Shadow Wail
The Breakout Raid: A team of 8-12 villains are gathered by Kalinda to break out one of the fellow Destined Ones from the Zig. The Raid starts with entering the prison by steam rolling through guards, prisoners and Long Bow. The end of the raid includes a breaking out of two or three Destined Ones.

Quote:Funny thing, those are all the things I like about herOriginally Posted by Tenzhi
She's always struck me as slightly-off-hot. Her forehead looks overly large, there's something slightly strange about her eyes, and her mouth looks like it might randomly bite your face off. All traits that made her perfect for the role of River...
First I have heard of this movie, looks funny as hell, must see when comes out. -
I tend to re-use the same names a lot. Coming up with names for my characters has always been something that gives me trouble. I think I have a character named Criaga on just about every server I have bothered to make a character on.
I should point out that the character itself is never remade. Off the top of my head Criaga has been used for a Crab, a Stalker, and a Scrapper.
Now I need to double check how many of her I am currently working on..... -
Really can't wait for the show to start up again

Quote:Unless those groups see through stealth then there isn't a problem running without mez protection. If they can see through stealth then sneaking up on them wouldn't work anyway, so you would just leave the mez protection on.Originally Posted by DarkSideLeague
You do realize Rularuu Eyeballs, KoA, and Rikti Drones all have the ability to mez, right? And if you're held/disoriented/sleeping you lose all stealth, right?
Unless you are playing a stalker, and need to be hidden to AS or get an easy crit, there is no reason you can't have stealth running without mez protection and just turn the mez protection on when you are in place before any other attacks. -
Quote:I have to point out that if you are being stealthy it doesn't really matter what toggle the damage aura is part of because you shouldn't be getting attacked in the first place.Originally Posted by EarthWyrm
Toggling off your damage aura when you want to be stealthy makes worlds more sense than toggling off your mez protection.

Quote:Animations for a scythe would have to be different or they risk looking very strange. I still want a scythe power set though. Looked cool with with a very limited move set in .Hack//GU, the Devs here should be able to make something really wickedOriginally Posted by Oliin
To be honest though I'm unsure if a scythe would be well served by the same sort of animations that have to be used for a big-honking-sword and an axe. Maybe that's just my mental image of them though.

Quote:No, there is always something wrong with being stupid. Most people are at least smart enough to go about correcting the problem, and those who willingly don't correct the problem are on an entirely different level of stupid.Originally Posted by BrandX
I guess it would depend on the type of stupid then.

To say that something isn't done because that would be stupid is saying there is something wrong with being stupid.

I was already aware that this thing needed a real graphics card, but I can't do that at the moment.
What I am trying to figure out is why where I run into the slowdown has changed. It used to be the game would run better in missions and have slowdown outside. Now missions give me trouble, which doesn't make sense to me. -

Out of mission (with other characters around): 15 - 20 fps
In mission (solo): 6 - 11 fps
It doesn't sound like much, but it is enough to make the game difficult to play, especially if I need to do anything besides run in a straight line. Any help would be appreciated. -
After a lot of messing around with my graphics settings, namely turning next to everything off or all the way down, I finally managed to get the game running smoothly, at least until I enter a mission. If I am looking in any direction other than the floor the game has a noticeable drop in performance. Here is my CoHHelper:

Except for the first dozen or so I made I would have to say that all of my characters enter the game with their costume right the first time. After about a year into the game every new character I made is planned on their costume changing.
The first costume slot is relegated to being the default look when they first start their career in crime fighting/villainy and each additional costume slot is a slight evolution to the costume.
The only time the earlier costumes are changed is if a new set comes out or is unlocked that would work better than what is already being used or when they hit 30 and unlock auras. -
Quote:When you are seeing this are you in the costume editor or back in game? All the auras have a habit of doing this while working on your costume.Originally Posted by Hydrofoil_Zero
OK, the for the female body the aura for any option with eyes or the head doesn't seem to sit on the eyes rather they sit in front of them like a pare of wired glasses. It's most noticeable with the thunder head aura. But also seems true of the runes, sparks, tarot, and possibly others.
Edit: Hum the normal aura effect glow also seems to do that. -
I actually kinda like this idea. Could probably use some tweaking, but in general it isn't bad.

I know that some of these might have already been mentioned, but here goes.
1. Two I'm certain must have been mentioned before: The ability to customize redside pets, and redside-style controls for blueside pets.
Also I would love to be able to invite my characters into my SGs without needing to use another person, but I doubt it will ever happen. -

As much as I like the idea of keeping the badges that you only have one chance ever to get, I still can't get behind these suggestions.

Was thinking and wonder if issue 20 has a new power system. For example any player can choose any power from any powerset but at the cost of points. Various ones would cost a certain amount and once you run out that's it, no more powers to obtain.

Ideally, I'd like to see Tip (and paper/scanner) clues persist until you actually leave the mission instance. If that's able to be done, it would solve all problems of this nature.
Hate seeing that I got a clue on mission complete only to find nothing there o_O -
Myself and seven random people I manage to find.
