I don't see what is so odd about a 100meg hotfix.

Why you would even argue that real life possibilities matter in the context of a video game based on superheroes is insane. Human bodies also aren't supposed to be able to jump over buildings. Or do flying kicks with massive hangtime. It's fantasy, man.
Yeah he depicts supers doing super things but the way he draws the human body is so outside the bounds of form and physics that I can't stand to look at his figures standing or in motion.
I know the Beast Run is coming, but since this is an open forum I have the right to say that it looks embarrassingly bad (much like the crouch and growl animations, I guess there is a theme there huh?).
You like the look? Great, tell them so. Just like I will tell them it looks ridiculous.
So, again: Anthropid frame is not meant to move like that, and beast run looks rather poor. Yeah I am pretty much going to have to deal with that, because it's bloody unlikey that Paragon is including new models and skeletons in the beast pack.
Forum cartel back to shouting down any dissenters! -

My back hurts just from watching that.
But, my lower lumbar aside, she does show that its scientifically POSSIBLE for a human body to move like that. It just doesn't gain any benefit from doing so.

Do I even have to bring up the point that you not liking how it looks is your subjective OPINION on the matter, not a verifiable scientific fact? Oh well, I guess I just did.
How you can even argue that is insane.
Even in a game where you can expressly increase the length on a chararacters arms, it looks like utter garbage.
In City of Heroes where you can't even increase arm length, it looks absolutely ridiculous.
The skeleton is not made to move like that.
I have no problem with animal toons, heck I play two, but unless they build a beastial skeleton (Longer spine, longer arms, shorter legs etc) the beastial run looks sloppy and slipshod. -

And if we ever get that hidden demorecord-armslider it will look great in CoH. But as it is, the human body just wasn´t made for that style of movement...our frontlegs are just too short :P -
If its not finished I reserve judgement, but from what is available that animation is pathetically bad. If the skeleton can't do it well, do not do it.
EDIT: The point wasn't that they worked on it, but they exemplified my point. Make it look good, or don't make it. -

If it ends up looking like crap just CHOOSE not use it.
Earth shattering crisis averted once again! No need to thank me lowly citizen, it's what I do here.
Make it LOOK good or don't do it at all Paragon.
I miss Sexy Jay and BaBs because they knew that while making the players happy is the right thing to do, making your game look slipshod and embarrassing wasn't the way to do it. -
Furry yiffing and hatred aside:
Beast run looks like absolute garbage.
Don't put that crap in my game.
Anthropoid skeletons weren't meant to move like that, and it looks like crap in Champions, and it looks like crap here in City of Heroes. -
Quote:I do see people asking for "IO slotted" only runs now and then on freedom.Originally Posted by Dispari
Just like people right now say "LRSF forming: at least one page of IO bonuses required"
*sigh* No. Only bad/deluded players will be doing this. The same ones that insist they HAVE to have a Granite Tanker and Kinetics Defender to run newspapers. -

Go where and do what?
What's the value add to the player if the top three tiers of the a slots aren't necessary to succeed on the current Incarnate Tfs?
In other words, why should I bother when what I've got is already sufficient?
"raid X forming: level shift +2 only (no stalkers) PST"
Because we all know this will become the norm.
(Maybe not the stalker part) -
I think what many of you forget, is that this is a videogame.
Honestly, I think NOTHING of overspending and dropping stupid amounts of inf.* to get what I want asap because:
- ITS PLAY MONEY
- I CAN MAKE MORE FAST
- I HAVE MULTIPLE BILLIONS OF IT.
There is no children or spouses to take care off.
There is no social or sexual prestige for attaining large amounts of in game cash.
So I spend is carelessly and willy nilly. -
Clean self emote lol
-
Why is this thread still going?
No one gives a crap about stalkers anymore.
Like them, don't like em, no one cares. -

Sadly I expect this will happen, and unlike other arbitrary prejudices this form of elitism will -almost- be justified due to the content involved. Incarnate level TFs require alpha slotting to avoid face-planting every 10 seconds. Any future content will likely be hard enough that people who aren't level-shifted will be an extreme liability to the success of the missions involved.
Not sure if the Devs are actively trying to encourage this form of elitism, but they are going to get it whether they wanted it or not. *shrugs*
TF forming Levelshifted Toons (no stalkers) only!-- will become standard even if the TF needs it or not. -
Yeah pocket D on virtue is going to become even scarier.
-
I just think its funny anyone could consider such a system "optional."
I can see people recruiting teams based on weather your character is level shift enabled or not. -
I have both Elec/nin (Mu) and a Spines/nin (soul) stalkers maxed out (Softcapped and permahasted).
And the spines blows through missions much faster than the elec does.
I run at no bosses +1 x8. -
AS is a set mule. 6 slotted in both my stalkers for ranged defense.
I barely ever use the attack honestly. -
The Night Widow is prety much the Huntsman Analog.
Its just that Nightwidow is just a continuation of the training.
There is also the melee Fortunata Option, which I guess is close. -
Babs, now Castle.
Time to seriously think about ending my subscription. -
Destroyed her on my Ninjitsu stalkers.
Placate and caltrops ftw. -
Healers.

What exactly is the question?
