Edit to add: Rubbish quality video didn't help inspire/excite either

I did.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

you can't just leave it there! We want more!

Tho 23 is far more classical "comicbook" style than the gritty realism you've used til now. You've gone from Michael Gaydos/Alex Maleev to John Romita Jr in like 3 pages. Works tho

@Scarlet Shocker, in the Dev's defence on your point about O-port Vs Base-port, the base-port Vet power was released long before the O-port. It's been rendered only less-useful, in my humble opinion. That, and O-port doesn't take you everywhere, only mostly-where (I know it's not a real word, but it works).

[/ QUOTE ]

Very good point.

So then the thing to do I suggest is make the base teleporter available earlier. After all as somebody pointed out the Ouro portal doesn't take you anywhere below lvl 25 but you don't want to be taken many places and a strategic base hop when in a higher team could be of benefit.

Don't misunderstand, I'm not saying junk it - I'm not the one with the problem with vet rewards. They are nice to have and they are totally free, so why complain?

I disagree with 12 and 36. I think theyre great. 24 yes it could be better but I think Emergency Base Teleporter could be very useful.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's interruptable with a massive effect time. It's hardly "emergency" now is it?

It's useful if you're not in a hurry, but there's nothing emergency about it

[/ QUOTE ]

It's qucker than running all the way out of The Hive or anywhere you are isn't it?

Eg your in Perez Park and on your team the mish is in the Hollows use the base teleporter and use your TPers to get into the Hollows. in my book thats very useful

Ouroboros, Talos, Base Portal...

Robert is your Father's Brother

Edited to add: you don't need to wait 2 years for the Ouro portal, you can use it to get your whole team where they need to go and the recharge is like 3 minutes not an hour

I actually really like the Greek Letters and the Armour - most of my toons use them in some way

No the rewards aren't perfect... I like your 54 month reward but if you're gonna make it a powerful thing then make it the 60th month - 54 months is not a landmark


My biggest objection is how some vet rewards are rehashed - so clearly something needs doing.

I'm not keen on the shirts idea especially with the I13 options coming and I actually quite like the boxing outfits from what I've seen.

for the most part I think the vet rewards are pretty solid. After all, they are basically free. My biggest criticism is that the landmark months, 12, 24, 36 etc aren't the best rewards they could be.

Deleting the wrong toon to make space :O

To be honest this isn't the same discussion (kind of any ways)

What Liz is suggesting is that they combine the server list and so throw open all the CoH servers for every one regardless of who they pay there subs to. At most this would require a global name change there would be no need for character name changes unless the player decided to hop server.

I'm all for this idea. it pretty much solves every ones problems, more potential people to team with, more slots to create alts on, it doesn't brake up groups of friends and even the legal issue may be some what muted if subs were still payed to the relevant territory.

[/ QUOTE ]

But as has been explained before, there are massive legal issues with this - due to sharing data across the Atlantic

Why are we even having the same tedious discussion again?

Problems:

Legal issues relating to sharing of customer data outside of the EU

Forced Name changes: Upset the player base, they leave

Split groups of friends: They leave

No evidence that servers in the US will give any performance benefit to EU players

/em sigh

Bye can I have your stuff?

Well I got a 9800GT wiht 512 megs of ram at the right price and the concensus was it was better than the 8800GT and I got a new board and CPU too, AMD5200, so it'll blow my 4600AMD running a 7900GS into the weeds I reckon.

Thanks for the discussion people

haha actually that's a great analogy.

Even a single non controllable pet makes a huge difference to the two AT’s that get them at 32 (controllers and dominators). Adding the possibility of getting more permanent pets throe pools would properly be overpowering.

Other then that, you could always wait for the going rogue system.

Volatic Sentinel

You could almost consider a setup like Danger Girl for this.

Although Danger Girl is primarily focussed on Abbey Chase and Sydney Savage, if you took it from the PoV of Ace it could be viewed that he's the MM and the girls (and Agent Zero) are his operatives, that he's in command of.

Greg Ruka's Queen & Country gives a similar model IMO

How about this for Air Supremacy- Only able to be activated while hover/fly is active, gives good -fly res, kb protection, and some def.

and more endurance to be trained away.....

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not sure it would drain more than any other toggle... please explain why you think it would be problematic. It should be slottable for End Redux anyhow

you dont understand ,champions online its COX 2 ,same company ,more expirence ,more budget ,and alot of improvemnt ,why do you hate cryptic?becosh of them you play cox ,ncsoft just keeping it alive ,i dont hate ncsoft i mean i fill sorry for them about the money issues that they have ,but cox cant survive this 2 new games ,most of the cox fans hate ncsoft ,they will go to the new cryptic game ,and dcuo ,will DC ...

[/ QUOTE ]

What makes you think we don't understand it? It's quite possible we have a far better understanding of what will happen than you, you know. Ever considered that you're wrong?

Sure, CO is what would originally have been CoX 2, which then became MUO, and then CO; but that does NOT mean it would be better. Jack Emert showed time and again with CoX that he isn't interested in what the players want to see, and that's going to continue in CO as well, count on it.

As for NCSoft just "keeping CoX alive". Look at the updates since Cyptic left the picture, look at all the QoL changes we've had since. Hell, if Jack were still in charge, we STILL wouldn't have the real numbers... NC are investing large amounts of money in the game, but these things take time before they become readily apparent. 2009 is going to be a BIG year for CoX, you'll see.

Right now, people are doom mongering because it's been a long gap between updates, pretty much the longest actually... Of course that's not a good thing, but things WILL pick up soon.

ok so... ummmm?

ok I'm looking at upgrading my graphics from a 7900 to a new card.

I lean heavily towards AMD boards and nVidia cards (I know, I know about ATi) but I'm looking at something like an 8800GT or better spec. I'm not sure how the nVidia series compare, or the relative advantages/disadvantages.

The most graphic intensive work I do is CoX and Second Life so any sensible suggestions are welcome.

Cheers

That's what they say... (My god I feel a song coming on!!!)


OP: 700mil is cheap and it's called The Free Market Economy you know, that thing which made the western world what it is today... So clearly a massive success then

As many have pointed out it's not mandatory but it is there to give your level 50s something to do - and does give the PVP community something to aim for - it also provides your characters with a bit more uniqueness. You play one AT, 2 power sets, but with IOs you can adjust the potency of your attacks depending on how you view your build.

And the badges are there to be explored but somebody made a nice map and application so nobody bothers "exploring" any longer. And your characters might not know where the badges are but once you've done it twice, then you as a player will have a rough idea where many badges are. So unless you advocate random placement of badges every day...

/signed. May cakiness ensue

There's also another possibility. Make it an acrobatics-like toggle, but instead of the mag 9 KB resistance have a mag 5 (or however high it could be without being overpowered) -fly resistance that stacks with hover. I find it extremely annoying being dropped from the sky every 5 mins fighting anything else but council...

[/ QUOTE ]
just a question, do you have a knockback attack and teleport?
when you use these 2 powers at ones, you can smack someone down without getting the first hit.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think too many people would have Fly and Teleport and not all powersets have KB... it's one issue for my Elec/Elec... there's only two KB powers in there and I've only ever taken one

tara a bit as they say around here. Good luck

360 days for all the day job badges? erhhmm what? maybe thats abit too long

[/ QUOTE ]

All the badges [b]AND[/i] 4 vet rewards too


Actually good point... do we need contiguous accounts to keep teh day jobs?

If I let my account lapse for 30 days, will I still get 30 days worth of Day Job?

Yep as far as I can tell just upgrade his account with the code from the GVE pack and robert is his father's brother
