If that's what non-beta testers are gonna see for the next 2-3 weeks, can you change it to something a little more informative? Like "This account does not have closed beta access."

Well not really a "battler" per say, but every time a CoH dev tweets, a CO dev tweets something else soon after.

I guess you gotta be following them to see it.

There seems to be a twitter battle going on between CoH and CO.

Well I'm upset, 'cause the reason I resubbed was centered around beta. I figured I'd get to at least login to character creator when it came out. But I guess It's my fault for assuming they'd run closed beta the same way they have for a long time?

pretty sure it means only closed beta testers will be able to log in.

let the NERDRAGE begin.

That completely ruins my day. Way to get our hopes up and then BAM, NO SOUP FOR YOU!

yeah granite armor will be colorable, but with limited colors. Unfortunately, it uses an "earth tone" palette. I don't remember seeing a true black in there. Only browns, grey oranges, greens and grey blues.

You can make 95% white though, so have fun with your sundried poo granite armor.

I believe a true black is available for most powers. From what I tested at Comic Con, most powers use the same palette as your costumes.

Some powers like Energy and Electric blast have a "Bright" and "Dark" option. The coloring effect is different like Tanker and Brute Invuln fx.

The animations you pick should have no affect on the actual power. It should be purely cosmetic and have the same animation time as the default.

As for your main question.. I hope BaBs answers you, 'cause I'm not a dev :P

And for what I'd like to see: Tintable jets on rocket boots.

*edit*

in case you didn't see it in another thread

To the test server! lol

Devs should make an announcement in game when people login, reminding them that the forums are back up.

Btw, are Kheldians going to be tintable?

*edit*

nvm I read the thread. That sucks that they aren't. You know in the comic book the Kheldian was GREEN and the nictus was PINK.

So there.

Maybe give Khelds a small spectrum like what they're doing with ice and stone.

I sure hope not. I resubbed in the hopes that I'll get one of the closed beta invites. Money is tight right now, but luckily I got a free month for exchanging a retail key for a time card.

I'm crossing my fingers that it hits before my sub runs out again.

Virtue's turn to go boom?

So I go to log out in the PPD building in atlas park for my day job and a thought popped into my head. There's never anyone in the holding cells up the elevator. But what if there was?

I think it would be cool to get a zone announcement that "so and so boss has or is breaking out of jail". Then people could come rushing and quickly "arrest" the evil doer. But there could be something similar on the Villains side as well.

Maybe NPC heroes or just plain angry people could escape from experimental labs, where they've been tortured and have had enough. What's the motivation to take 'em down? Badges and recipe rewards of course.

And maybe another incentive would be picking player made NPC's for the jail breaks. If we can't use color options in AE when I-16 comes out, maybe we can use them here?

Anyone have any ideas on how to implement this? Maybe have a specific character slot for jailbreaks when Going Rogue comes out. Of course that opens it up for some awful character names and random costumes.

But if there was ever an option to "disable" one of my characters for a day in the chance he'd get picked for a jailbreak, I'd do it. Although I'd love to be able to actually play as my villain breaking out of Atlas Park jail. But even if I as taken down to level 1, I'm sure people would have a problem with being attacked by another player in Atlas.

Jail Break PvP

To me the Breakout tutorial on the villains side screams PvP zone. Maybe it can be implemented as an Arena map for Going Rogue. It's too small to be an open zone I think, but I'd love to see how it would work. The Zig in Brickstown could be integrated into breakout. Maybe that would work.

That's all I have for now. Input?

I don't know. It's still repatching. I was unaware those were part of the tool tips. I'll check it once it's done.

I'm having this issue when I open the enhancement management window. When I mouse over the individual powers, it should pop up a preview window that shows the power's description, what types of enhancements I can slot, etc. But if I remember correctly, that window has never shown back up for me since they implemented the buttons at the top that "show detailed info".

I thought the feature for some reason had been removed, but when I log in to a different account it works fine. I've tried deleting all kinds of settings files and it's still not showing up for my main account.

Does anyone know what specific file stores that information? It would suck if somehow it was a server side issue.

If you're referring to the part coming off the ear, that's part of the enforcer chin detail.

theres a TON of stuff currently gettin no answer to nor will get answers too and its not making the paying customer happy..





also a ton of people gettin ignored by reps and devs while certain factions are focused on

I think BaB and Posi have been doing a great job at answering questions lately. Look in the dev digest. I'm sure they don't want to spoil EVERYTHING. The beans will be spilled soon enough

Strange that you would give these "problematic" posters their own section, then announce enforcement against them.

I don't have any direct advice, but if you want some gimmicks or ideas to look at, you're welcome to steal from my photobucket album.
