Quote:Would be a really odd promise for them to make seeing as paying for extra powers and costumes has been in since CoH collectors edition.Originally Posted by LordAethar
Especially since the devs promised to never do such a thing. I don't remember now if I read it on the forums, in an interview, or even the one time I spoke to the Devs directly at GenCon one year, but I distinctly remember them saying that they would never make us pay for more costume options, or have purchase-only powers.
Does anyone have actual evidence that there's been a decline in the number of costumes per Issue beyond the fact that we haven't had any in a while? As I recall, the last time some one actually listed out the Iissues and what costumes each had there were no indications that we ever really got a large number of "free" costumes. -

Actually, the dev you want now is Protean, the current keeper of the lore bible. Manticore left a while back, I believe.

Quote:As far as I recall, the split was caused by the assassination of the Weaver. Arachnos semi-collapsed and Recluse reformed some of it's forces into the modern Arachnos while the Center formed some into the Council.Originally Posted by TheDeepBlue
We still don't really know what caused the break between the Council and Arachnos.

Quote:Don't have any experience with the IO myself, just going by what I found on Red Tomax.Originally Posted by ultrawatt
I actually had it stack on my dom once. At least i got 2 icon (which we all know cant be trusted) but it was of course too quick for me to check numbers.

Quote:With the exception of Steadfast and Gladiator's Armor.Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
No other set in existence gives you as much of a defense bonus for only six slots.

Quote:I know, and I was pointing out that other sets with unique IOs may not need a powerful one off set bonus, like Gaussian's has, because they have a powerful one off bonus on the Unique IO itself.Originally Posted by Oathbound
I wasn't meaning the effect of the Unique itself, I was meaning the 6slot set bonus.

How do I access the Incarnate options? In the previous version you would click on "Incarnate" but it's now a toggle and doesn't bring anything up?

Quote:For what ever reason, there's a few Female NPC that use the Male skin texture. First place i noticed it was with the Paragon Protectors.Originally Posted by Gearsinger
Unfortunately, the pictures on the Wiki are a bit hard to see, but this one seems to show some pretty ripped abs.

Quote:How exactly does "powerful enough to body slam a Rikti Mother ship" equal "powerful enought to stop all the crime in a city?" He can only be in one place at a time and not all crime can be stopped by punching it in the face.Originally Posted by Anti_Proton
I think your looking at it the other-way-round. Why wouldn't he simply eliminate all the crime in the city in a single day, if he was as powerful then as he is now? Why not simply end WWII single handedly?
Also, gaining power too fast isn't the same thing as gaining it instantaneously nor does it eliminate the possibility that their power continued to grow for some unknown time before the well asserted its self. -
Quote:According to what I could find, it doesn't stack from the same caster.Originally Posted by Krogoth
And decimation chance for buildup, which could self stack and drive damage to obscene levels.

Quote:For many Unique IO, the unique bonus is actually granted by the just having the unique IO, but Chance for Build Up isn't unique to Gaussian's.Originally Posted by Oathbound
Gaussian's is really the only set that gives a special bonus cause of the unique though, So It's be nice if they at least went back and boosted the last bonus of other sets with uniques, to make up for it being a 1time bonus.
-
Set IOs are meant to create a trade off between set bonuses and raw enhancement performance so that demand will be spread over more sets.

Quote:With Judgment, Lore and Destiny customization implemented, I don't see how there can be to much of a hurdle left to Pool and Epic customization.Originally Posted by Golden_Avariel
I can actually understand why they haven't tackled pool and, to a lesser extent, epic powers. You can respec out of them and you can have up to ... what? 4 pool powers? Sounds like a programming nightmare to me. It would also probably require a 4th page to accomodate.

Quote:My point was simply that since level 51 doesn't exist for PCs we can't know how it would differ from level 50. Castle once said that were the level cap to be raised, we wouldn't get any more slots or powers. The progress system doesn't remain exactly the same over every level, there's no guarantee any future level must follow the existing patterns.Originally Posted by Rikis
Oh don't misinterpret where I stand on this argument. I don't care whether they call themselves 51 or Death Ponies. I know what they mean when they advertise themselves as level 51.
I just found it ridiculous to ask for proof of a level 51 player having more HP than a level 50. For 49 level ups, you gained more HP, a new power or new slots and your powers' base damage went up. So a level 51 will naturally have all of that happen too, not just some parts of it.
And entities that do go past level 50, NPCs, have more HP at level 51 than 50. -
Quote:The UI isn't the only determination for language usage in the game, otherwise we wouldn't have terms like scranker, blapper, offender, huntsman build, WTF, etc. If a group of people use level 51 to denote a level shifted character, then that's what level 51 means, even if another group thinks that term should be reserved for a situation that is unlikely to ever exist.Originally Posted by Rikis
Can you prove to me that a level 51 player actually exists? And by that I don't mean point me to where it says "50 (+1)" but where it shows on the UI that it says "51".

Quote:Can you prove that a level 51 player character has more health than a level 50 player character? And by that I don't mean point at a formula that shows a 51 should have more health but actual evidence that one does.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Excuse me, but if a level 50 minion does enough damage to kill a level 50 character but not enough to kill a level 51 character and you die, then yes, that means you're still level 50.

Quote:The only thing the new launcher should have changed is how the game selects which of the 3 client themes to use at start up. Any modification you've done to those themes, be it through splasher or other means, should still work.Originally Posted by SkyRocker
I still use it, but I'm looking for a way, IF it's even possible, to use it with the new launcher?

Quote:As I recall, Starsman had a thread that actually suggested putting -range into Taunt (I think he said he got the idea from another thread), and got a response from Castle.Originally Posted by Bionic_Flea
That is a classic one. The post was titled "Hey Devs", and simply stated, "We need more -range." Made by the Artist Formerly Known as Lucas.

Quote:I know they create one, I can't find any dates for whether it was before or after the settlement. Doesn't change the fact that BaB has hinted that they can't make another.Originally Posted by DarkGob
Please go back and read my post. They released an actual standalone costume creator. Not hypothetically, it was an actual thing, and it happened after the lawsuit.
I wish I could find some reference to this on the wiki but unsurprisingly I can't, probably due to how little interest there was in it. -
Quote:Originally Posted by DarkGob
I doubt it, since Cryptic released one ages ago around the same time City of Hero was released in Korea. The available costume pieces were never updated as new ones were released and support was eventually dropped.
As I recall BAB once said that he was unsure if he would get in trouble for even saying he might get in trouble for talking about a stand alone costume creator. I could be wrong, but that seems to at least hint at a confidentiality clauses on a settlement. -
Quote:Actually, you can save both costumes, open the .txt files, copy and paste one's scales into the other and finally reload the altered file into the game. That being said, it would still be nice to be able to save/load the scales separate from the costume, similarly to how we can save/load the primary and secondary power customizations separately.Originally Posted by Mad_Cow_Milk
Saving costumes is one thing, saving proportions is another.
Say you want to change the proportions of the toon you have, being consistent you need to change all the costume's proportions. To make use of the save function, you need to change one costume, save it, then take that saved costume, load it, then completely reconstruct the original costume for that slot from memory just to keep the same proportions.
Now think of that in x4. Simply loading it does NOT in any way cut it as reasonable. -
Would be great to have but, as I recall, there were some indications that a stand alone costume creator may have been prohibited in the Marvel settlement.

The gloves there are Enforcer. You can tell by the oversized screw looking circle right above the wrist. The boots look more like the larger PPD boots we have right now than those in the IDF pic.
