TheMESS

Not sure i like this Idea EBs normally represent a named character and to my mind they should be a cut above a standard Boss.

If it was to be implemented i recon it would need to be a difficulty setting below heroic with lesser rewards etc

Thanks for the Statement GR its just a pity it wasn't out sooner (not your fault) would have avoided all that speculation and Doom and probably helped lessen the damage to peoples opinions of NC-soft (regardless who who's to blame there all gonna get tared with the same brush).

Ah well best of luck in your next endeavour and hopefully you mite drop by from time to time and say "hi" also welcome to our new lord and master (mistress
?) Avatea

It dose look like they've decided to pull everything in under the NCwest banner i wonder if the demise i wonder if the failings of TR were the finale nail in the coffin of the last group of managers.

Also if there has been some kind of power grab / change in leader ship like some suggest what dose it mean for CoH as hole. i recon we may come of quite well the devs are already housed at NCWest so provided they can pull there fingers out and get some kind of official statement out to us before the lack of information spreads completely out of control.

They could also do with rather rapidly getting i14 out and live it'll go some way to ease the feelings of abandonment and keep us all distracted for at least a while (yes there will be shouts of its rubbish there's no content in it etc etc but there normal for a issue) after that they'll want to get i15 out for the anniversary maybe it wasn't there intention to do that but the hints dropped have pointed at that date so missing it will be perceived as a failure weather it truly is or not. the problem is i15 will need to be substantial to keep every one happy.

In other words there gonna be doing lots of damage control to the playerbase and the longer they leave it the more damage there causing as it is were all panaking like headless zombies in a burn patch its only a matter of time before those on the US boards start connecting lack of Dev posts to something going bad even if its not the case.

To be perfectly honest setting aside the loss of jobs (which is truly sucky) and the loss of the EU community (also sucky) the best thing they NCWest could do is to lump the EU and US together I've never seen the point of creating these borders for online games all it serves to do is dilute your users.

But, as I understand it, part of it's always been down to tying the forum membership to the game account and the restrictions on data sharing between EU and US companies.

i.e. they've not been able to have both EU and US on the same forum if they're using personal account data (may be the address and financial info) to determine membership.

Pretty sure that without these external restrictions no company would ever really consider hosting seperate boards.

true for things already in existence there are laws in the way but nothing is impossible and I'm sure there are numerous ways around such things its all just a matter of doing it in the right way.

But what really gets me is why do it at all what purpose dose it serve to split your users?

Personally ill wait and see what NC have to say when they give us a official statement

If it comes to a move to the US ill way my options if everything's transferred and i manage to keep the names I'm attached to ill stay if i don't well then ill more than likely leave.

If its here's a US account and 2 months subs i wont bother i don't want to start again and o certainly wouldn't be re buying all those extra slots and expansion packs I've purchased.

Also ill not be buying any slots or that in the near future till we get some form of solid answer

Dam man that sucks Glad i had the chance to say hi n person when i did. I hope everything works out for you in the end.

Have been avoiding commenting on this thread in the hope that it turned out to be all wrong but its looking more and more like its all true

so my sympathies to those that have lost there jobs you'll all be missed.

The thing about Cimerora and RWZ is that they have a point to being there, Pocket D doesn't.
Unless there is a truly world threatening event heroes and villains would not realistically work together, nevermind go to a bar and have a drink with a load of NPC enemies.

[/ QUOTE ]

depends on the hero and the villain really mainstream comics are full of villains and heroes meeting and working together and even being friends individuals like namor, hulk, the X-men (and there numerous splinter groups) all straddle both world sometimes heroes some times villains there's also individuals like Dr Doom most definitely a supervillain but also the ruler of a nation so then there are places like the oblivion bar which exist out with the normal dimensions and act as meeting place for magical entities.

So a place like pocket D where heroes and villains can meet and team isn't all that far fetched.

I've got a similar problem my dates shifted 11 days and while my account was inactive for a few days it certainly wasn't 11 days so I've raised a ticket with support just waiting to here back

You sure i thought there base was under city hall

Semi frequent but still a excellent suggestion

I always had a feeling that we would see more co-op content added to Pocket D but it never transpired.

I suppose if it gains a mission architect bit that could give some joint missions to do and would certainly fit with the entertainment theme.

Do we not protect the time capsule on the hero cape mission i wonder if this will change?

i liked the sound of TR it seemed like a good idea a change from the swords and magic of other MMOs and had they maybe held it back a few months till it was more complete before releasing it it may have fared better in that respect its a bit like auto assault another good idea some what badly implemented.

Maybe there hanging onto the IP with plans to either relaunch the game or reuse the core IP for some other type of game as it could probably be remolded into a average to above average FPS

Or hows about this for a pipe dream there gonna take tek from TR (the clone build type thingy) and cars from auto assault and splice them into COH

well ill start saving cash in the hope that it dose happen as my plans were scuppered last time thanks to lack of the green stuff.

the thing a lot of people seem to be missing is that Elitism is not saying to some one "i would get power X because its Y" that's just handing out advise now the person may not require that advise they maybe know that power X will help them but maybe they don't want it or maybe there's just going for something different.

As a example i have a fire/stone brute i do have granite but by and large refuse to run it as it doesn't fit my concept for my character while on a ITF the leader suggested i would have much better protection if i had granite i explained that i did have it but did not like it as i find the -dmg -recharge -slow effects my bruteing far more than the +res +def dose i also dislike the way it completely alters the look of my character now had the leader been Elitist he would have more than likely ridiculed my build and kicked me from the team instead he accepted my reasoning and we went on to complete the ITF.

My point is there's nothing wrong with giving advise its the attitude that come along with the advise that determines weather there being Elitist or not.

well considering a lot of the weapon animations are largly the same as the plain old fist animations i recon you could get away with it.

Another option that occurs is a changeable weapon similar to the soul blade character necrid have it change with the different moves would be a fair bit of work but would certainly set Psi melee apart from the other melee sets especially if it was also given that persuade pet tier 9

pass it would be nice if they had something happen of course with some members of omega making it back maybe that changes things.

But we already have a set that's essentially the same as the first (Electric Melee)

[/ QUOTE ]

I get it, and I really am not arguing here, I just wanted to say... electrical isn't the same as storm at all.

Anyway, we're NOT hijacking this thread, it's about the wonderful wacky world of psionic melee (Whatever that is!?).

[/ QUOTE ]

Not the same as but pretty dam close both make use of electricity in some form and elec even has thunderclap all its lacking is some kind of gust of wind attack.

[ QUOTE ]
Ok, How about this:

Psionic Weaponary

* This would use weapon customisation, alowing a choice of a wide range of slashing weapons (daggers, swords, axes) all of which are glowie auras.

1) Spectral Strike: melee, High Damage (Psionic), +Special (Illusionary Damage, Healback)

2) Psi Slash: Melee, Moderate Damage(Psi+lethal), Foe: -recharge

3) Telekinetic Swipe: Melee (Cone), Moderate Damage(Psi+smash), Foe: KD

4) Psi Focus (Build up)

5) Draining Strike: melee, Foe: -end, -recharge, 20% chance of sleep, Self: +recovery

6) Confront

7) Psi Spin: PBAOE Melee, Moderate Damage(Psi+Lethal), Foe: -recharge

8) Mental Strike: melee, extreme Psi DoT, Foe: 30% chance of fear, 30% chance of confuse, 30% chance of stun (all mag 3, each check independant, so the target could be hit by all 3 effects)

9) Phantom Weapon: Summon pet copy of players weapon, which proceeds to attack independantly (similar to voltaic sentinal)

[/ QUOTE ]

I like it if one of the options could be just glowing fists that would be even better

[ QUOTE ]
Why not suggest Storm Melee or Sonic Melee? It's just as bonkers as this!

Okay, okay I know, don't hijack, I was just saying is all.

[/ QUOTE ]

why is it bonkers? for some one who's playing a game based on comic books you're being very narrow minded, hell both marvel and DC have (have had) characters that make use of melee ranged psionic powers so why could CoH have a psionic melee set?

and I'm sure with a bit of thought some one could come up with melee sets for storm and sonic


-edit-

come to think of it take a look at Avatar the last air bender has a pretty good representation of what storm melee could contain if you icluded some of those air strikje type powers and a few elec powers and maybe a smidgen of ice/water

also water melee set now theres a idea.

(Qr)

to those that are moaning about the fact that the valentine event this year is a copy of last year how many of you would be happy to see the yearly events replace 1 or 2 of the issues because something would have to be removed to make space for developing new holiday content.

also theres no TP dampening round the base TP

9. dark servant (with the same duration as other controller pets)



[/ QUOTE ]

I would leave the dark servent in dark missima as its far more of a debuff/buff entity than a damage or even hold entity.

Instead either use the existing shadow imps (boring but simple option) or create a new entity a large shadow beast creature kinda like a more sold version of the warshade dwarf solid black dark blue in color with a dark smoking aura.

in fact instead of the dwarf face/head replace it with a skullish visage (complete with glowing/flaming blueish eyes) and give it some gaze of fear power as one of its powers
