The name of the first toon I made came from an article on Penelope Cruz, but was not in English and the writer used Penolope. My forum handle though was Penny. When globals came out, there were some grumblings between the global names and forum names being different (and I should have ignored
) . Since I couldn't switch to @Penny, I made @PennyPA (the PA is for where I live) which was free as a global and forum name. Hehe, not the most exciting.

Quote:Good way to put it.
Your point that it should be added because people want it. I get that. I just don't see that as a good enough reason. In the end how I feel on it doesn't matter. Only what the Devs think matters
Players want all kinds of things - world PvP, wall climbing, vehicles, more zones, more this, more that, ... You search for those posts and there are those that /sign on.
The devs get the message: they read and post to the forums, they play other games, have friends in the industry, read the news and do interviews, and however else they get get informed. And things like the OP are still not in the game for reasons only the devs have.
Edit: This is my add on to DocArcus' reply above. -
Quote:Your opinions are not coming off as opinions and implying there is no reason whatsoever ever given by a player that will satifsy your criteria for not adding this.I'm sorry, did I say something about the devs at any point in this thread? I'm not implying anything. I've clearly stated my opinion.
I am saying that this suggestion has been brought up many, many times over the years and the devs know. Therefore, the only people that can give you an answer are the devs. -
Signing up for Friday (or team 2 or whatever). Even willing to try MDrKTF after if time.
Edit: Forgot to add. 1st choice: emp def, 2nd choice ice/cold corr, 3rd and beyond, just what the team needs -

Eh, from what I read, more are coming in subsequent waves. In other words, they could do it all later, or get some out now.

Quote:QFEI agree with Barbie_Ink's replies.
IOs have brought a lot to the game, but when you start talking capping, we are talking about end-game characteters. While I personally believe that farming/marketeering for an uber build is an excellent end game, it is expensive and time-consuming and requires slots that a leveling character does not have.
I enjoy that a rad is no longer required to succeed on a TF. You now see the badge/TF channels on servers have the same "bring what you want, we'll figure it out" attitude that SGs/coalitions have always had. All I ever see are the three categories defined, as in "Damage would be nice", "A buffer would help" or "Debuffers would be the preference."
Although, I do now giggle when I see teams specifically holding a spot on the BSF while they look for a stalker. Who woulda thunk?
Edit:
Yeah, not "scientific, but on Victory they run a weekly group on Wednesday and the list is out of players here. And what AT is at top? Yeah, really obsolete. People will play what they want and not all are min/max'ers. -

Quote:And I will ask again how you can expect us to answer this? Are in you implying the devs are completely oblivious to this idea or that other games even exists?
Also, I'm still waiting for somebody to give any actual downsides to the idea.
Saying that it hasn't been done yet is simply stating a fact so stupidly obvious that there really isn't a point to posting it. What is so bad about making this easier for people? What harm could it possibly do to anybody?
They know. The devs post to the forums, get out PMs, even reply to them. If you are so curious, PM the devs and ask that they reply to this thread or give you a reply you can post. Otherwise, the players will never give you a satisfactory answer. -
Quote:How can we possibly answer this? Our reasons don't matter, only the devs' reasons.
Does anybody have a real reason why we shouldn't be able to do this?
They are aware of this suggestion and the many before it, and they have to be aware of the systems in other MMO's (not all are chained to the desk!). And still no system is in place for CoX.
Maybe some one PMing the devs and getting a reply that can be posted would be better. I don't care either way on the issue since I have friends to help xfer if needed. -
Quote:Total agreement from me on this.
Frankly, I think the whole reward scheme has backfired. -
Just my 2 infl if you are looking at emp or kin and mentioned some secondaries.
But I have a 50 kin/arch def. Although I could solo/team just fine, the redraw because of switching back and forth from my attacks and kin powers got very old after a while to me. This is in comparison to my son/kin corr, which didn't have the issue.
As for emp, mine is emp/psi and I thought it work welled because I could do my job and it had a few powers to allow me get out of danger if needed. But you are probably not going that route. -
Quote:No problem MP. (NP MP just didn't sound right!OMG! TY Penny. I will be contacting you in game next time I see you! Thanks for your generousity!
) Anyhow, look to be doing Friday TF with Viv and try to catch before/after. If not, Monday works since my family is doing trip this weekend and may not be on until Monday night. I will look in my SG bins to see if any sHOs laying around unused too, but don't think we have any at this time.
-
Wonderful idea, and I would love to volunteer the time. But I have taken on some new work and not sure what my upcoming schedule will be and if it will be friendly to many buyers.
So I will donate 100 million infl blue side and 100 mill inf red side to the fund (since I have had a string of good luck lately). MP, just let me know to whom it should go to. -
Well, I am a little surprised Physical Perfection was added. I wonder if it was for some really tight builds some scrapper have. For my /regen (and current /WP) scrapper, this is just a bit over the top if I respect into it.
The problem with the PPP's is that they were designed to be more or less similar across the ATs whereas the APP's were designed to fill gaps/holes in the ATs. I know they made changes to the PPP's since then, but where would Physical Perfection fit into? Better for brutes or MM's or stalkers for comparison to tanks and scrappers? I feel that stalkers are more blaster like and others think they are more scrapper like. I guess it is not easy to figure out.
As for other zones and, more importantly to me, SF's & trials, I wish those would get attention red side. I feel that they will not since GR will be coming out and if you want to do more, just go the other side. -
Quote:Not sure what you are getting at here.i support this 100% percent, defenders from I1-I6 where my favorite AT, but i never play them anymore, damage sux, hp sux, theyre primary powers r solo-wise a joke for the most part, soloing with sonic/, ff, empathy,and soo on... its ridiculous, i dont c y anyone would even try to lvl one of these def's anymore, the Cox population is very low soo even if u were brave enough, theres a no garuntee anymore that youll be able to team 24/7 soo some days youll have to endure 1% a lvl everyone 2-4 hours because u cant kill squat
I do see people playing defenders whereas your observations say otherwise. Heck, I am planning on starting a new one come I16 so some one will be leveling a defender then.
And I don't notice this "very low population" you are referring too.
And "1% a lvl everyone 2-4 hours" (assuming to mean 1/10 of 1 bub of XP per 2 to 4 hours), really? I got 3 defs at 50 (including an emp), started a 4th, and planning a 5th come I16, I have never seen such a low XP rate. Just what are you fighting and powers (and slotting) you are using? -
Thanks Pol. Maybe I forgot about the older version. Will look for the new version.

I use a Blackberry due to my job:

Curse and a joy some days. And probably more than you may want. -
I would have guessed "What would Hamster do?" button.
Anyhow, I like the planner from before, but haven't used in a while. So I am not sure how much has changed. I would prefer a "respec mode". As I recall, you would use powers and add slot, just like you are leveling. But for my use, I was rearrange builds from 50's and use to the respec format (pick powers, then slots after). Could be a pain to have such a feature. -
Thanks all for the responses and info about a demo.
Didn't know that the coloring screen had an invisible target. Probably haven't used the right power to "see" it yet. I thought it was just the animation going off.
Hehe, and yeah, I guess that is a command. Always thought the powexec_auto, and so forth were called a macro. -
Some time ago, I asked under the macro help thread if a macro was possible to use a power but have no targets. At the time, I wanted take screen shots of my DB/ stalker in various attacks for screenshots. I haven't seen any other posts on this type of feature since then. And I didn't see this discussed in the I16 sections.
The problems pointed out were either that no macro existed (and still doesn't) or I needed an invisible enemy player to attack (something targetted). This was not quite what I was looking for since it sort of ruined shots in certain spots, say like Oro or co-op zones like Cim.
Anyhow, I was looking at the beta for I16 and noticed when recoloring powers, the animations went off, even with the blast effects for ranged powers.
The suggestion would be to have a macro that does the animation effect as seen in the power coloring screen. I know SCR applies on if it is possible or not, and it may be low priority. But I would like to use it for new screen shots for other toons I now have (not sure if players would use for avatars/sigs). -
Quote:Well from my reading of the forums and experience, the click versions of status protection are balanced in other ways since they are not toggles. They may have extra protection(s), lower end costs, etc. For example, /nin stalkers get fear protection and psi resist. So while my /regen scrapper is cowering in fear during a fight, my /nin stalker is just slicing away.
why not be uniform?
If made to toggles and uniform, I would be stuck helpless like my scrapper.
