Quote:Which doesn't necessarily mean we'll get a level shift in each power. It could just refer to the continuing gaining of new abilities.Originally Posted by Bringer_NA
War Witch, I believe, said that in a interview we would be theoretically level 60. -
Quote:They got of the LRSF escort because it kept glitching.Originally Posted by NordBlast
Players still going to run it, at least once per character. This TF is required for Geas.
What makes me wonder tho, is that devs changed RSF couple issues ago to get rid of retarded escort... and now they added retarded escort into KHTF. WTF?
They added the KHTF because it should increase completion time, and eventually the reward.
The LRSF escort was specifically bugged in a way that most are not and couldn't be reliably fixed. -
Quote:That's your only reason to ever post on the forums? Really? REALLY?Originally Posted by Purge
TY for your post Pyro, but I have found that this topic has been raised and is a non-issue for the Dev's. Hense, I will no longer post on the forums anymore.
Not, let's say, to learn how a powerset was changed, why it was changed ("NERFd" in your nomenclature), and how to use it most effectively after the changes? Or maybe even how to optimally use a powerset to maximize its strengths?
Unless you're exploiting a bugged mechanic of a single power and ignoring the rest of the set no powerset has ever been "NERFd" to the point that it wasn't playable. In the last couple of years powersets have generally been buffed far more than nerfed.
i presume you're either joking and attempting to get a rise out of people, or you're just too intellectually lazy to have a useful dialogue with, and unlikely to ever come up with anything that the Devs would actually find new or useful. -

Well, back in the day, I picked the Blue Wisp because it gave me +recov. Every little bit helped until I could get Stamina.

Quote:The Cyborg Booster introduced the first combat auras. The auras are a glowing/holographic visor and lasers out of either or both eyes.Originally Posted by Emberly
Well, you got your combat aura eye targeting lasers, and you got your Laser Beam Eyes from ancillary power pools. I think the former requires a super booster pack be purchased; I have them all and can't recall if one of them unlocked the eye targeting lasers.
The other methods are the attacks Laser Beam Eyes available to Tankers and Scrappers in their APPs and X-Ray Beam from the Radiation Blast powerset.
Edit: i'm not aware of any new methods of projecting lasers from your eyes being added in i19. -

Quote:Something like this has happened with every Kinetics user i've made. They either eventually get left unused or get remade as something else.Originally Posted by Heraclea
I got the character to the mid 30s. I learned that I simply could not stand playing Kinetics on a team, and since I had it as a secondary I hardly ever got to use my primary. After taking the character on some TFs and being assigned the role of "the kin", I realized I never wanted to play this character again, much less get him to 50. Character was stripped and moved to a seldom visited server while the free transfers were out. I may want to reuse the costume sometime.
i played a FF/Rad to 50 once, but it burned me out on buffbots. Teaming on a Kin makes it worse since many players constantly ask for Speed Boost, some demand that they never receive it, and a few whinge on and on about needing Speed Boost when they already have it. At least with Force Fields i had more time between applications of buffs, and fewer were likely to demand it the instant the buffs dropped dropped or complain if they received them. <.< -
Quote:i still haven't seen the 3D version.Originally Posted by Zaion
Avatar certainly wasn't 3D only. I watched it opening day in normal vision at one of my local theaters. Worldwide only 25% of screens showing the movie were showing the 3D version.
Both in visuals and characters.
Seriously, the characters weren't that bad, but some aspects of the plotting and setting made me go, "Wait, what?"

Quote:Having 4 Dark Servants out was fun. Of course that was with perma-Hasten going as well. i remember my pack of Dark Servants holding Jurrassik in the Numina TF all by themselves. Oh, if only i'd known enough about some of the game mechanics back then to really leverage some of things i could've done with 4 Servants.Originally Posted by Exodus_V
Ah the days of 3 Phantasms, 9-15 imps, 3 Jack's and 4 Dark Servants man i miss those days...now if i could just get the 4 Dark Servants back or atleast 2
O and i really miss the random roll on PA's...having a roll of 5 show up would make me spit my drink across monitor...of course the random roll of 2 was not so fun but hey take the good with the bad
The more recent change that made pets unaffected by recharge rate changes was a sad thing for my Grav/Storm. Whenever i got a significant amount of recharge buffing on a team i used to announce, "Lightning Storm has evolved. Lightning Storm is now Gatling Storm." Especially with two out at once and slotted with hold procs. -
Quote:Well, just stay Rogue. i have a rather mercenary SoA who has gone Rogue and will be staying that way and a villain who went Hero at the first opportunity and will mostly stay hero. (Although i have been debating going back to villain long enough to get PPPs.) i also have several heroes that will be going Vigilante, and one or two might even go full villain.Originally Posted by Nyx
Thanks for all the help. I dont mind forming my own teams, thats not so much an issue, I just like being evil with other evil folks.
I am a rather new player, and enjoy all AT types and love rping both heroes and villains, and while I like the content of both so far, I just happen to like my villain much better. I play her as a rogue though, always looking for wealth and power...cuz shes greedy.
Maybe I will switch her back over to the side of good for a little so I can play more of her as opposed to some of my other creations that are less fun.
But on the overall, Ill just stick it out and form my own teams. -
Quote:Having the app be able to read Mids' data chunks would also allow users to import a build into the builder using Titan Sentinel. Just a thought.Originally Posted by Kyasubaru
Being able to export a build created in this app to Mids somehow would be my ideal. Maybe email yourself a Mids-compatible data chunk or something, I dunno.
Keep in mind while you're doing this though that stats change and powersets get added. If you want to make sure your app stays up to date with current CoH numbers, it might take some extra work.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with, though.
i won't be using the app myself since i happen to use an Android based phone, but i fully support anything that makes CoH more enjoyable and visible.

Damnit, i was preparing to present my business plan to get funding for the Narrowly Oriented SuperHuman Intensive Training School. Since the proposed curriculum is nearly identical to yours i suppose it's now redundant.
"No, no, no no no. You just walk directly up a flight of stairs!"
"How do you know, you go to a school for that?!"
"Yeah, [censored]." -
To be honest i enjoy the fight with Battle Maiden as it is. i fought her using my Hovering Dark/Ice Defender and my Combat Jumping Widow without too many issues once i got used to dodging the Nanosworddeathpatch thingies. i keep on planning to run it with more alts, but my only other Incarnate at this point is my Controller who still needs to be respecced. Soon.
That said, i can understand that there are many people who would find it too difficult to be fun. -
3D done well is nice. Not OMGWOW!, but nice. Now, if Nvidia supplies the drivers, and someone wants to play CoH in 3D i'm all for it. i don't mind native support for 3D being built into games even though the odds are low i'll spend the money to use it. (i also use an audio set up of two speakers and a subwoofer despite most games having native support for far fancier setups.)
Also, is it just me, or did anyone else think "fap, fap, fap, fap, fap" when they saw this?*:
Who is that, anyway?
*Just to be clear it was because i imagined him as some sort of cyborg, possibly only a head and neck, engaged in being visually stimulated over the internet since the image was a forum avatar. <.< -
Quote:The bug usually happens when the various zone/server clocks are not synced. An easy way to tell if it's that particular bug is that long recharge powers will also be recharged when you zone and find your toggles off.Originally Posted by Jayroc80
Thanks for responding! I was going crazy lol. Its nothing like saying, "Oh I can help, let me just grab my Tank or Scrapper" and dying faster than the blaster or controller lol.
I can't wait for this fix!!!
This is assuming that the toggles are dropping while zoning. -

Quote:Some, yes.Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
Sucks for some servers other than freedom and virtue then doesn't it?
Really, it depends on how active members of that server's population are about organizing events like this. For example, Champion has had fairly regular Hamidon raids for years, sometimes three or four a week, despite not being one of the top two servers. It usually ranks between fourth and sixth in server load. -

- AoE attacks will no longer kill General Aarons.
"One of the base's power cores is unstable!"
"Which one?!"
"We're not sure, the fluctuations in the power grid just appeared!"
"General Aarons has drawn his pistol. Follow him!"
"And tell the hospital to prepare to treat the General. Again."

Quote:No, it really is different teams. Some bugs are caused by errors in the scripting of missions, some by various database entry errors, and some are caused by bugs in the underlying game code. Each of these requires different skillsets and game system knowledge. Also, some teams focus on map and zone design, some on graphics and animations, some on power coding, some on coding missions, and some on writing the underlying software. Most of those teams are not going to do well if asked to work on a different area.Originally Posted by Wanted_NA
No, but instead of devoting time to fix this stuff they could've devoted it to fix the more important ones so we'll have fixes for it sooner.
EDIT: Unless it's a totally different team working on either I suppose, which I kinda doubt, but eh. -
Quote:The toggle dropping bug in the past has frequently been due to the clocks of the different servers/zones being set to different times. If long recharge time powers are also instantly recharged upon zoning it's probably that bug again.Originally Posted by FitzSimmons
The thing is they should know how to fix the toggle dropping bug. It has happened a few times in the past.
Spaghetti code. That's what this is, spaghetti code. -
Quote:Conducting a basic look around the forums before posting, it's a hell of an informant.Originally Posted by Residentx10
Was there maintenance again this morning? I thought it was done on thursdays? All servers are down this morning.
Personally i bookmarked the English section of the forums. That way if i notice something odd about the game, like the servers being down, i can immediately click on the Announcements section, followed by the Community and Dev Digests, and then, if nothing has been posted anywhere in those sections, i look to more esoteric areas like Technical Issues & Bugs, Player Questions and General Discussion. The vast majority of the time i don't even need to ask before having my question answered. It's really rather amazing.
Edit: Or you could just click the links in this post... -
Quote:This post is a slap to the face of the faces of all the faceless out there! i demand that the Devs nerf gravity (the natural force, not the powerset), it's far too intrusive to my real world gameplay!Originally Posted by seebs
The accuracy nerf to purple drops are costing too much endurance in AE, which has completely wrecked PvP. Furthermore, now that no one plays tankers anymore because brutes can go to blue side, flippers have made it impossible to buy any recipes useful to stalkers, who can't go on TFs because they have too much single target damage. Unfortunately, because AE babies don't know how to access the new content without a server merge, CoH is doomed to buy Going Rogue, and badgers are spamming Atlas Park with questions about how to get to the ferry. The new Ultra Mode graphics are preventing people with Storm Summoning from getting on teams which is a problem because knockback is the best mitigation other than intangibility, unless you are fighting enemies with redraw.
p.s.: Also, the forums have no sense of humor. -
Quote:Uh, yes. Yes it is. In fact that sounds exactly like random.Originally Posted by Fireblaster
I`m sorry to say that but I don't think that random is random atm. My tanker have got 2 purple recipes in the last 2 days. I know some people in my global list they are playing the game for 4 years now and they didn't got any of the purple recipes in this time - since Issue 19! One of my mates have got 5 (!) purple recipes within 3 days.
Is this still random?
Or a Nemesis plot. Can't forget the Nemesis plots. -
Quote:No, we can't. At least not yet.Originally Posted by Dark_Inferno
Are we able to color powers like hasten and other pool powers yet? Especially ancillary powers! If not, surely we can have this soon?
Thanks!
Tinting power pools is on the Devs' wish list, but apparently it's a bit more complicated than it was when they added that ability to many primary and secondary sets. -
Quote:Listed all of mine at 5 inf. Sold them for many millions. Not a bad return on something i don't really have a use for myself.Originally Posted by SerialBeggar
I have only seen one Respec recipe drop. And, I fumbled my sale of it at the Market and sold it too cheap.
