Techbot Alpha

Oh, that IS a toughy...
I dont play my main Tanker, Chief Centurion Z1 all that much, but I still bring him out once in a while. The PB and WS parts of him likewise...
Tbh, if you can still play them, Id much prefer that. Seeing as even the Devs get to use their characters (afaik?)
A very tough one indeed, but it would be so cool XD Id love to get one of those gold titles, mind.

Very much in wanting XD

Or just buy a knockback protection IO.

Some of us dont HAVE 20million Inf lying around, y'know?

I really, REALLY strongly suggest this...

Let see. Bane Spiders. Light troops, built for stealth. Check.
Crab Spiders. Walking tanks, littered with guns that sit there and chew stuff up while taking a lot of fiure in return.
Oh, unless you get a guy in sandals and a wierd hat who can knock you down with a gust of wind.

The lack of KD/KB protection in Fortification is laughable, or would be if it wasnt so annoying. Crab Spiders are supposed to be tough, and Fortification is supposed to bulk the armour up some. And yet it still offers no protection from KB?
Please can this be fixed? Its just a really, really bad little thing.

A quick mock-up of a Dual Pistols set;

Pistols

Dual Wield

Empty Clips

Incendiary Round (Dual Wield with moderate fire DoT afterwards, 2x recharge)

Impossible Shot (ST snipe, superior damage, half interrupt time than normal snipes)

Reload (Aim with a 30 second recharge, 1.5 second interrupt)

Cover Fire (180 degree cone, moderate DoT, foe -tohit(7% unenhanced))

Cripple (ST -speed(20 seconds, -40%), moderate DoT, 30% chance for immob(15 seconds, enhancable))

Eat Lead (PBAoE extreme damage, 5 tick DoT over 6 second animation, during animation player defence is buffed by 30%(unenhancable) and resistance by 50%(unenhancable), 60 second recharge)


Main idea of the set being quick recharging attacks, lots of DoT and soft control, like a cross between Archery and Claws.

^ This. I like =P

Just rip some of the powers from them goddamned gunslingers. THEN try calling it gimped

Sick of having to mumble 'LFT' in broadcast, feeling like a complete wally when theres no replies =P

/Signed, both

Could we have an Arachnos SG icon to use? Given the VEATs and having at least a couple of pure Arachnos SGs, it would be a really nice little touch. Given theres a lot of stuff where you're meant to be helping out Arachnos in Villains anyway...

Also, the Shield Icon isnt working, which is the only other SG Icon that would work for my Arachnos group The banners and all the other items that are currently lacking any Icon at all just look daft at the minute, y'know?

well cpmuter programes are getting quiet smmal i mean my dad just got WoW battle pack and that on 2 DvD and that game on teh normal version need 5 disk to instal it so ya never know lets hope

Whu?!?

5 CD's is LESS than 1 DVD, let alone 2. Computer programs, especially games, are getting bigger and bigger. Already we're getting single games on multiple DVD's. Give it 3-5 years, we'll all be putting Blu Ray drives into our machines.

Great, I better start saving for a decent rig round about now =[

Thanks for the info on the rating, Ly.
Anyway, ket me get this straight. More evil than robbing banks, gunning down security guards, ripping the angry dead out of their graves, stealing, kidnapping, brutal intimidation and blakcmail alongside many and varied forms of crime some of which dont even exist in the real world...?

Slightly daft, mkay?
Just make tha damn things untargetable. Problem sorted. You can still get you attack-heals offa cars and such

/Signed
...uhm

Kay? XD hehe

The games rated 13+ isnt it? Or similar, I think. 12+ maybe.
There are films and such that are rated PG, and games that are rated lower, that have much worse stuff in. Civilians dying, being flung around like ragdolls, the whole upheaveling shenanagins.
Theres not even any blood. Come on. Its as evil as 'They've gone to a better place'...

"More evil in the charts than an Al Qieda suggestion box". (endquote) XD

True so why upgrade it and the graphic this may be abit off subject but i'm sick of the old GTA fingers i mean the grphics now are much better so why don't they just upgrade them

[/ QUOTE ]

Unfortunately, for a really major graphics overhaul, they would, inevitably, need to upgrade the engine and all that...
Which would put tha game out of action for a few months, or something...
Which, in turn, is most likely not going to happen.

That, and I dont think my laptop would run an uber CoX with updated graphics =[ not unless they invented a sytem what took up a tiny ammount of space and ran reeeeally smooth.
I wish XD Dear Santa...

I've bugged it before, I couple of times if I recall, seeing as this also didnt work on my old SG, which was a coupla years ago now.
Figured posting here might get it noticed. Maybe not...

Two rather different subjects, but while Im here;

1. Why are the civilians in Mayhem missions targetable? It the most annoying thing, trying to cycle through targets, and you keep wasting powers on them. Can they be made either un-targetabble, a la Hero-side, or can they be killable, which is perfectly fitting for villains and will add much entertainment and a sense of satisfaction -nods-


[/ QUOTE ]

Yes it is anoying. Very anoying even sometimes. But the Devs did it on purpose. As you notice they keep running over towards you in a lot of missions. Just to stand in the way and be anoying.

I would like to be able to mow them down if they annoy me to much. But that would spoil their purpose to annoy us and probably make the game to violent.

However there is a plus side to things. Something the heroes lack.

At least we can WRECK things and get badges for it as well. Which is nice.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, the wreckage is both satisfying and useful...
But too violent? Like I said, theres no blood. And is ramming a katana through someones spinal cord not violent? Or burning them alive with a flamethrower? Or ripping them into little bloodied chunks with four spider arms of doom -gribble-

*ahem*
But yeah...Just one of those things >.>

Neat. More stuff is good stuff -nods-

Yes. They drop tech parts. Its ALL a Nemesis plot!
Having listened to a metaphysical explanation of Halloween from a friend in Ds (entertainment eh?) there is an old school backstory.

Zombies from the rooves, floors and cielings?
I think that the Pantheon, Nemesis and Vahzilok have all teamed up. Their coming to get us! 0o

Or, indeed, they 'cut back' on the poor peeps who did creative writing =[

Hehehe
Anyway, more missions designing goodness is...good XD

Given you can't TP through walls anyway, and the fact that Fly is by far the easiest way of getting to the Truck, that doesnt really seem like a decent reason.
Anyway, the suggestion isnt about getting rid of the suppresion, is about -Making it so that it doesnt interupt stuff. This does apply to base teleporters, but no other TP power-

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you'll find that the game can't tell the difference. A teleport power is a teleport power, and therefore will be interrupted.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, but the teleport travel power is not interuptable. Base teleporter is.
THinking about it, yes you can simply toddle out of the lifts to use that one, no big hassle. Its more powers like the medicine ones, which I kept trying to use onlyto get interupted because of the constant 'attack' from the field. -le sigh-

Use civvies for AoE attacks.

Job Done

and why respec a VEAT before you need to? You get one at 24 that's mandatory and if you need to respec much before then start again f Nerva's too hard

[/ QUOTE ]

Because, it being my first VEAT, I borked the build, maybe? I had no travel, no temporary travels (missed the missions or failed them cos of pants teams) and it was unbearable. So it was necessary.

^ This

[ QUOTE ]
Ah, now you see, I quite like the fact that the peds can be targeted, my thugs/dark MM sees them as the healing targets when things are going pear-shaped!

Although if you target by double clicking a power it won't choose a ped if there's a mob to hand (I don't think).

And as for Arbiter Lupin, I must admit I've never really had much of a problem getting there, and of course once you hit level 14 you have your travel power and you're sorted!

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, make it at least that you can defeat them. After all, its not like theres blood or anything. No different from defeating an NPC enemy. And besides, these are VILLAINS for pete sake.

And 14 with a travel power is all very well...what if you dont plan on having a travel power? Or dont have a temp power to hand? Had that on my first VEAT, it was a nightmare, as I needed to respec the power in.

The Shield SG icon isnt showing up as a chest detail, or on base details such as flags and display pieces. This has been the case for as long as I can remember. Still no fix? =[
