Thank god... first poster reminded me ... no coffee yet.... a touch, NCNC, I do confess it, ya got me... yet I shall have my revenge .. MUHAHAHAH*cough* ... need City of Coffee...

Woot! Looks great. The "costume sets" feature is alone worth advertising I 12 as a great update.

Woot! Shiny!

I like all the pictures of shields. Those are some nice images.

This one here is awesome though. Did you do that yourself?

I like that a lot. I think it's too big for a forum avatar, but it's a nice job. They should use that image for a City Scoop article about Blue Steel -- The Dev Behind the Mask!

Woot!

Howdy Blue Steel and welcome to the red side of the boards.

Wait, red is blue? How did this happen? It sounds like a trick by Lord Recluse...!

See my sig. Or do a search on PS238 for those who don't view sigs.

There is something planned to have CoH player web pages like WoW does, yes?

Would adding Ladders and Rosters like this one to those web pages be something interesting? I just though it could also work a bit like Microsoft Live GamerTags and Wii Friend Codes where you have a public association with other players. That way also Lighthouse wouldn't have to manually "save" rosters and things.

Maybe this is something already in progress and I just missed it. Just wanted to add my 2 Inf.

To be clear....There are more players on Freedom now than have ever played on that server. Ever.

[/ QUOTE ]

1. Champion server was "screamin' yellow" when I logged on Friday, but I had little issues with lag. One big 10 second network "event" did kill one teammate, but besides that it was darn smooth. Good job!

2. I think I read in another thread that NCNC doesn't release server player numbers outside of shareholder reports, but assuming the news is good (ie., more players on all servers) it might not hurt to do some kind of press release. This would be positive advertising for CoH, I think, as well placate (heh, Stalker power...) the current player-base somewhat. Maybe just release the % increase on all servers. Knowing something, from a player's perspective, is better than knowing nothing.

Anything can be made Flashback, but the "completed" star checks for A) Souvenir clue or B) the Badge. If we did missions that were not Story Arcs and not Badged, then they would never show complete.

That said, I have no problem doing this if you guys don't. Just let me know what missions you want on Ouroboros and I will do my best to get them there.

[/ QUOTE ]

For those other missions, have you considered adding a clue that you get if you complete a mission on an Flashback Mission? It could be tied to the Ouroboros meta-plot. You get some special clue about who is opposing the menders, or maybe related to those mysterious notes in the first mission.

The basic clue could be the same for all missions, no special text. Just a marker with Flashback Taskforce and the mission name. If the devs have extra time, they can go back and add some fun text to certain clues. This could even be done incrementally over a series of Issues.

Just my 2 Inf. A series of missions with no star after them would be fine too.

I love gravy.

On the new Jester Hat, when used with the Skull head, it clips through the hat just slightly. This is not a huge deal, but I play in 3rd person and it's a tad annoying.

Here's a pic.

On a side note you can fix that ingame by changing the head sliders slightly I believe. Not a permanent fix but it should make it less irksome for you.

[/ QUOTE ]

I got a chance to try this. It didn't work. I stretched the head every way I could think of, but the clipping just stayed were it was, stretching in proportion to the sliders.

Real numbers sounds like the bomb.


But I wonder if Masterminds will be able get number on their pets. Right now pet damage isn't even reported to the chat channels, something that really frosts me.

Also, it would be nice to see any Real Number also in a chat channel (Combat, maybe) so the data miners can go at it.

Amen... almost. It's still a pain if you have more than one other friend and everyone is all different levels.

What they should do is just GM code (Giant Monster) all instances. Only the powers possessed by mobs and their relative levels (lieut, boss, elite boss, etc.) should be coded in a mish. Difficulty in a mish should be set entirely by Hero Corps/Fateweaver. There should be a way to reduce the difficulty to the equivalent of green mobs, just in case.

Well the players here are more intelligent, better mannered and better looking than any other MMOG. What do you expect, we're superheroes!

I guess some of us are super villains too. But we're much more intelligent and better looking super villains, by far.

I voted CoH. Dunno if we can beat WoW unless we try....

Yes, RSS would be a nice way to keep fan sites updated when a character changes (gets a new badge or power, etc.)

Will our character background descriptions and battle cry be available also? This could be cool, but also a bit of liability for NCSoft too.

Will our first character costume slot be treated specially? That's my level one costume and I usually don't change it. Just saying.

Also, could we pick a primary costume which may not be our level one? Maybe whatever our /cc # is set to. Doesn't have to update immediately. Log out or log in would be just fine.


Don't forget to show pets with their names too. Actually, could I give my pets bio's too? ....

...your different costumes, ...

[/ QUOTE ]

OK this is NOT a good idea.

Why do I want other people to be able to see what I look like?


...

If I don't get to choose the pose, I mean. Come on, I went to a great deal of trouble to get those wings and jet bots. They'd better be shown to their best advantage. And my pets! Can't have a decent web screenie with out the whole menagerie present.

I should be able to choose the display screenie. You know you want me to....

Well, you can use slots in the Black Market or Wentworths to hold items like recipes.

But, yes it would be nice if we could also put recipes in our vault.


Hmm... anyone can use implies level 1.

As before, players go around knocking on doors to receive a "Trick" (an attacking mob) or a "Treat" (an inspiration or enhancement).

[/ QUOTE ]
Just for clarity's sake - when you say "enhancement," you mean "salvage," right? Or was there a new class of treats added?

Looking forward to it!

[/ QUOTE ]

On Test I thnk it was:

1. Salvage
2. Inspiration
3. Costume Temp power
4. Rock

Or a monster. Note the latter well. Masterminds summon first. My first "trick" was not fun, I tell ya.

More wish list:

* Windows. I want to be able to chose what I see outside my base too. Atlas Park? Steel Canyon? Galaxy City? Yes please. Tie this to plot size, ie. you need one of the better plots (more expensive) to afford a floor in one of those sky scrapers in Galaxy City.

* Even better: allow me to see what's happening out side (on the server) real time. Nothing like spotting a bit of crime out the window and zipping out to fight it.

I saw "can't chose where doorways will be placed." I totally agree on that one.

On a similar note:

* I'd like to be able to place items in doorways. Especially stairs.

* I'd like to see room trim (edging, whatever you call it) extended to door ways (inside them, not just up to them).


Wish list items:

* Another vote for NPCs for bases. I don't need custom text or patrols or defenders for raids. Just give me some guys standing around I can place.

* Stackable items are an issue. We need more of 'em. I don't like having to put desks under stairs, it makes no logical sense. An item or two (or more) specifically designed for "stack building" would be great. Better, give me Legos.

* The ability to add items on top of more things would be great. It's basically just a few desks right now.

* Some kitchen items would be cool. Sink, counter-tops, fridge, beer fridge, clean dishes, dirty dishes, empty pizza boxes. Give my base a bit more of that "lived in" feel.


Overall that consolidated list is a great resource. Good job on compiling it. I hope the devs give it serious consideration.

And this is just me remembering here, but didn't some alien invaders turn the rikti into what they are today? Then thety got mad and tried to do it to us. (just going off of memory here)

[/ QUOTE ]

Gah, I don't know. My Rikti Mythos knowledge isn't up to that challenge. Anyone?

[/ QUOTE ]

Mine isn't either... but



*spoilers again*

Major spoilers again if you haven't done the high level Rikti missions yet....

You have been warned....










* spoilers *

From our point of view, aren't the Riki alien invaders? And if they did it to us...

That means it was the Rikti who did it to themselves long ago in their own world...

Which means a Rikti invasion would have done it to *that* group of invaders too...

Etc. Etc. with out end...

Oops, did I just make an ouroboros here?
