Far fetched concepts are not what anyone is complaining about at all. It's that internally specific things don't make any sense.
The movie had a number of flaws and bits of unintended silliness (i found myself rolling my eyes at several points going "really?"), but i'm not really sure what you're referring to here. Then again i viewed the movie firsthand instead of using other people's reviews as my source, so perhaps your knowledge is more detailed and comprehensive. -
Quote:*heh* Yeahhh... no. For obvious reasons. Besides, you'd have to ask the guys now in charge of powers instead of the guy who'll be gone in less than a week.Originally Posted by Lunch_Box
Can we have the change made to Energy Transfer kindly reverted now
This would be nice to have. Energy Melee could use a bit of attention.Quote:and the fun brought back to the Energy Melee set? -
Quote:This. People announcing hero tip mission teams with room for more is fairly common on most global channels. If none have been announced recently asking in global channels is usually effective.Originally Posted by SwellGuy
The only workaround I can think of would be to team with a hero running their hero tip missions.

Quote:Skin is quite possible, and it's also possible to add or subtract at least a couple inches of height. While uncommon as elective surgery there are numerous procedures that can alter skeletal proportions and skin tone in addition to the more common surgeries used to alter soft tissue volume and distribution.Originally Posted by Jade_Dragon
Well, maybe not height and skin. But there are certainly ways to give the illusion you are taller or shorter than you are.
The most extreme and widely known example that comes to mind in the world i live in is Michael Jackson. He went from looking like a fairly normal teen of African descent to a... thing that somewhat resembled an albino vampire alien dowager. -
Quote:You know, it's posts like this that tend to make me think that we reside in different worlds that somehow link to the same forums. Because in the world i live in everything you just listed can be altered if you're willing to pay enough. In fact people can even change gender to the point that it may require a physical exam by a doctor to tell whether it's their original gender.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
People can choose what types of clothes they wear - but they can't choose how tall or short they are, or what color their eyes are, or what shape their nose is, or what size their breasts are, or how broad their shoulders are, or what texture their skin is, and so on.

Quote:i have a hunch it involves porcine submersion, but that's just a guess. i'd speculate more, but i'm not even sure where to find one.Originally Posted by MrMountie
Really? I'd be very interested in seeing that if you have a link.

Quote:What? A person who makes a point of announcing that they're putting someone on "global ignore" every time someone posts something that's critical of or disagrees with their posts is sensitive? Say it isn't so.Originally Posted by MrMountie
One retort to your poorly phrased response on the OP and you react by saying you've been called the anti-christ?
Guess they're not the only 'overly sensitive' one, aye?
Incidentally, what the hell does "global ignore" even mean in the context of the forums? Is there some advanced version of the ignore list that not only redacts the ignored person's posts on the forums, it also ignores their game accounts, as well as blocking their gmail, twitter, myspace, and facebook accounts? -

i've always respected your work and will miss your insights and commentary on the forums. Best of luck with your future work, i'll be interested to see what it is. -

Quote:Ah. i don't think i've fought them yet, but i do have an alt currently running one of the arcs, so i will keep an eye out for them. A character who coincidentally enough is a Night Widow that usually has around 60% positional def.Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
I believe they are referring to the DE in the new versions of Maria and Tina's arcs.

Quote:Especially since slotting healing enhancers increases the -regen aspect of the power. Which can be pretty useful in the absence of access to strong -res while solo.Originally Posted by Obscure Blade
Both combos are good. Energy does have solo synergy; you can Sleep entire spawns easily early on with Mass Hypnosis, and kill them one by one.
On the other hand...yes, Drain Psyche IS that good.

Quote:And is still one of my favorite powers in the set.Originally Posted by Wooden_Replica
Drain Psyche hasn't been changed to my knowledge
Oddly enough the above is exactly what i was thinking about when i posted earlier since i made an Elec/Psi last week.Quote:that tier 3 melee attack( i forget its name), formerly it was basically a melee range knockback with minimal damage, now its damage is actually decent, although not overpowered. This is actually a huge plus, this is the only attack with non-psi damage in the set.
<snip>
I myself, am working on a elect/psi dom right now( last issue gave us alternate animations, so you can now project many of your psi attacks via your hands, a huge asthetic improvement for me, i hated the head animations) -
Quote:i said as much myself earlier in the thread. i just want to know where i can find them. Regular DE are already very nasty to my def-based characters when they drop those quartzes, but add higher base tohit as well... *shudders*Originally Posted by Energizing_Ion
I still don't know where these Praetorian DE are...never seen 'em before in the game...
Which for some perverse reason makes me want to fight them even more. -
Quote:Do you mean the nerf to a single power in psi accompanied by buffs to most of the other powers that happened several issues ago, or has there been a more recent change?Originally Posted by Effy_On_Malibu
Thinking of a plant/psi or fire/psi domi, are they still decent even after the nerf?
I'm not after the fastest farmer, just something fun!
If there hasn't been a more recent change then the answer is yes. -
Quote:i can see that. The issue i had was that while it may be applicable to "Generic MMO 187" most of it that wasn't about basic courtesy was irrelevant, or even actively wrong, when applied to CoH/V.Originally Posted by Gangrel_EU
I actually enjoyed the OP, even though more because i read it in more of the "general MMO advice" style instead of specifically for CoX.

Irrelevant. Everything is subject to change in this game. That doesn't invalidate current and verifiable information.

Quote:It might have something to with this announcement: Issue 19 Respec TokensOriginally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
Hello,
My villain recently reached level 20, but I may have received the respec at level 19. I've been looking into them a bit, and none of the reasons for getting them seem to coincide with something I did.
I'm just asking why this may be out of curiosity, I'm actually happy with my powers/enhancements as they are, and when I looked at the respec screen I didn't notice any new options anyways (not that I looked very hard.)
But anyways, if anyone can explain this to me it'd be great. Thanks for your help.
While freespecs don't stack you don't have to use them until/unless you want to. -
Quote:Is the character 30+ with auras unlocked? Snow Aura now appears as a normal aura selection and if your character doesn't have auras unlocked it may have been removed?Originally Posted by BlackSexton
Okay, so Issue 19 has gone live, and my snow aura has now vanished with the arrival of the winter event. Wassup with that? Fortunately my Ice Tank has already updated his aura, but why has the one aura that really fits in with the season disappeared from my option list?
This is the only guess i have offhand. -
Quote:Uh, the Force Field Generator handles all mez effects except sleep and knockback, and mezzes aren't much of a worry since mezzing enemies don't become very common until around the time you get the Gen anyway.Originally Posted by redtornado
Try a Corruptor. The damage scale they do will make the pistols useful and they get Scourge. They're weakness comes from mezzes which they have no work-around for like Blasters get, i.e. Tier 1 and Tier 2 Primary Powers and Tier 1 Secondary Powers are still useable while mezzed for them. Corruptors don't get that, so carry LOTS of Break-frees. I enjoy this AT Combo and you will too. Happy gaming :-)

Quote:i actually have 2 softcapped characters. A few with relatively high defense through slotting and set bonuses, but i haven't bothered on most since their other sources of proactive and reactive/passive mitigation are more than adequate for how i play them.Originally Posted by Silverado
I don't see any "abundance" of softcapped builds ingame, if anything they're very rare.
There's a lot of talk about it on the forums, but remember that forumgoers represent a very small percentage of the players across the 10 servers -
Quote:i support this suggestion.Originally Posted by Steelclaw
Dear Santa Dev,
We, the CoH Players, have been very good this year and would like to cash in all those Good Player Reward Merits for the following things for Next Year's Winter Event.
1) Those of us running Crab Soldiers would like to hang various things from the tips of our crab arms. The short list to include: Christmas Tree Ornaments, Gingerbread Men, Tinsel (draped from arm to arm) and Mistletoe... DEFINITELY the mistletoe!
2) Masterminds would like the ability to dress our minions up as reindeer.. either with just the antler head band or with a full-body transformation. Also the most powerful minion should get the glow-in-the-dark red Rudolph nose. If reindeer are too difficult then we believe Santa's Elves would be an acceptable substitute.
3) Necromancy Master Minds would like the Winter Event option of summoning the cast from Nightmare Before Christmas.
4) Robotic Master Minds would enjoy access to minions looking like they just arrived from the Island for Misfit Toys.
5) The Ho-Ho-Ho Belly Grabbing Laugh emote please.
6) New Teleport power animation where you touch the side of your nose before zipping up a chimney.
7) Visions of Sugar Plums temp power - PBAoE Sleep doing no damage. While standing there snoozing those affected will have little thought clouds with dancing plums in them.
Before you shake your heads and dismiss this as yet another silly Steelclaw list. I would like to make one last suggestion. Make this a Holiday Booster Pack and release it next year. Take most of the proceeds from sales and donate them to Toys for Tots or some other national charity that gives presents to under-priveleged children.
I'll buy one. Promise.
Merry-Happy-Joyous Holidays,
Steelclaw -
Quote:That's an interesting viewpoint, but i have to admit i've gotten used to the definition of "Heat Death" that's been used since the 1850s, not yours, no offence. The original (and still current according to most things i've read that aren't your post) meaning is still basically what you call the "cold death."Originally Posted by Durakken
Actually the "heat death" is the big crush which could happen any time, if it does happen, without warning, where the universe collapses. The One that is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay in the future is referred to as the "cold death" and or the big rip.
"Heat Death" doesn't mean that things are very hot when it occurs.
i guess it's a matter of quibbling over terminology and my being attached to the standard usages. -
Quote:Yes.Originally Posted by Mjolnir875
To everyone criticizing the list because it doesnt apply to CoH, did you actually read the post...
And yes, i realize tank and tanker are not identical. i still stand by my earlier response. -
Quote:Thursday.Originally Posted by je_saist
Now, if you know when the developers have had time to make copy the zones and implement the icy geometry changes to the most recent versions of those zones... go ahead and tell us.
Wait, that was the day scheduled for the office Nerf gun wars. Never mind.
Still, it is somewhat saddening for some of us that we only had the frozen lakes for that one year. Although i never experienced any issues during that original event i have read some accounts of characters being stuck in the ice when logging in.
Maybe someday we'll get ice again. -
Quote:i don't know. i haven't had any issues myself.Originally Posted by CaptScar
Since the last patch that booted me out of a good afternoon of gaming, I'm still having problems. I can log in, but I'm lucky if I can complete a mission before getting disconnected. This is happening in the Praetorian zone specifically (Imperial City). I can't stay in the game for any meaningful amount of time. What's the deal?
Have you asked in the Technical Issues & Bugs section of the forums? They're better at evaluating connectivity issues.
