Quote:does not equelOriginally Posted by Angelxman81
Lots of players want pool customization, power proliferation... Read this thread carefully, you will see the requests.
im ware that several players want this, I (if you have been paying attention in the manner you say you have) have been vocal on the front. some of us also realize that any from of animations is time consuming and expensive, whereas a pair of instanced maps and some strictly mathmatical buffs and an few aoes are less so. i want them, but i am taking a rational view of things, writing a passive-aggressive slam about them is not being rational nor reasonable.Quote:Originally Posted by Angelxman81

A soap opera is also to blame for the billion Kaylas born twenty-ish years ago.
(Also, if you're wondering why "Jacob" is the number one boy name, just look at the number one girl name.) -
on the topic of alternate animations, i know martial arts already had a go, but since we got left out of weapons customization, and the alternates we got were mostly for the "street fighting" subset of players, could we do another pass where we got animations that actually looked like martial artists attacks? i have gone on about this for a while, but while thunder kick, crane kick and crippling axe kick worked for their time, they actually resemble real techniques, and resemble them being done poorly, could we get animations for a well executed side kick, roundhouse and axe kick as options as well as the "legacy" options? maybe even get an option for eagles claw that looks like a technique that a human could do, like a spinning back hook kick or a jumping 360 wheel kick.Quote:to be fair, your post presumed to make a lot of statements of what a majority of players, or at least s significant number of players, wanted without presenting anything more than your opinion, so ya kind of had it coming.Originally Posted by Angelxman81

Quote:indeed, figured that was implied because i wanted it with an issue rather than a booster, but i'll happily clarify, more costumes included in an issue at no extra cost.Originally Posted by Tyger42

having run with chase on those runs, yeah, they do work out well, the ixp flows threads are plentiful and everyone has fun. if you can convince people it works out well.

for mine
1. NEW COSTUMES
the rest would be gravy. -
Quote:heh, it would encourage fighting with the team, i dont disagree there, but i think we are reading that in slightly differently nuanced waysOriginally Posted by Psylenz
8) Stacking Debuffs makes sense, it curbs aggro(SCRAPPER)lock and encourages fighting with the team.

facial and body expressions, like a certain mmo long ago in a galaxy far far away.
open powers, yeah i know its tough, work with it till it works, kidnap arcana
lifting, throwing and weaponizing the environment around you, and with distinction for what you are weaponizing, that the less than optimal way the competitors are doing it right now, i telephone pole should be weaponized differently than an suv. and it should be useable in combat, provided you took the correct power. none of this interruptable nonsense. also, limited grappling with most enemies, a stunned enemy can be tossed.
(this idea based more on chase arcanums solution on the subject) either have mezzes be a progressive system of debuffs that eventually lead to a full shut down, but first just weaken the enemies, or make it a game in itsself, where a fully mezzed enemy is defeated.
a metric @&#$ton of costume stuff, and a full commitment to make sure more come EVERY issue. i'm ok with premium costumes for extra, more than ok, but make sure we still see some depth of costumes included with issues...like we aren't seeing now.
dinosaurs. -
numbe 3 is why i left a certain japanese mmo based on a long running rgp series, cursing and shaking the dust from my feet and avoiding he mmo genre itself until coh. our current one is good, leave it.

ok, people with better eyes than mine..or dave, is that new female steampunk top a midriff one, or is that a leather semi corset? im a fan of midriffs, but a real corset type costume piece is something a few of my character's themes have needed.

Quote:out of curiosity, was this a "bored of the rings" reference?Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Thats a weapon effect, same as Shields and Weapons. Not a +6 Pack of Mashy Niblic
anyhow, i would possibly expect some cosmetic effect, like wings animate when used in conjunction with flight(or super leaping), but some conferred benefit for gameplay? that would set a poor precedent. -
steampunk will be bought.. well done david, knew ya wouldn't let us down.
as for posi's comment on dinos, understood, wish it werent so, but i understand the reality. -
as a us server person, might try to vacation in union for an alt or 2.

i bang on about this on occassion, but nothing drives me more up a wall than "am i the only one who... " it serves no purpose other than to hang out a shingle saying "please, validate me" . if you have an opinion, say it, people WILL post agreement and disagreement, that you can be sure of.

Quote:i hadnt checked that, but im actually kind of happy with that, i really want those guns for players, but putting out a complete clone set but with a more desirable damage type would seem unlikely, but if they are just treated as glowie bullets, then i want those guns.Originally Posted by AzureSkyCiel
Don't worry, this is balanced out by the fact that their guns only deal lethal damage. i mean, what's up with that? The bullets are glowing blue, they have something on them called 'a power pack' and apparently all it amounts to wildly fired lead sprays that can only hit one target with a grouping like a map of cold places in Death Valley at high noon.
-
honestly, i agree, i love it but a scrapper tanker or brute, particularly a ma one tends to find themselves ringed by enemies to properly leverage dragons tail(i suspect claws and sword users are in similar situations), to work with a cone means an often inconvenient repositioning, to agoid hitting small subset of the crowd, a 90 degree cone would be a good start.

Quote:have not seen it myself, but the vibe i get is its in the powerpuff girls league. Stylized, clever and works on both kid and adult levels, someone on another forum listed some references they have caught, and it is nerd friendly to the level of coh paper missions references.Originally Posted by Scientist_16
I. Wait, what? I thought that all this Friendship is Magic was popular in an entirely 'I watch it ironically' sense. The show is actually good?

sequel to highlander, too, cant wait.

just got rian his judge yesterday, was worried about this. i know ion's bugged nature was part of it, but cryo was kind of rare, and that was worrying me. and given rians name, i figured there was a thematic fit, still hope we get alternate anims, if he could breath it it would work amazingly.

Quote:have you asked for a lowbie team? im primarily on lb/lfa and i have some lowbie characters on all 3 sides, i'd have joined you. knock and it will be opened unto you. yeah the trials are what people talk about (though i got a great itf tonight) its the new shiny and as a default, a lot of us like advancing our iconic characters. but if you ask, im sure some of us would gladly run some lowbies, it mixes stuff up outside of mother mayhem being maimed by her belt buckle and marauder proving that he is from a dilbert-style marketing department, just ask.Originally Posted by Steel_Shaman
Are you primarily playing 50's though?
I'm currently leveling a new character. At one point today I was one of 3 people online in the 11-20 range. At least, that's how many showed up when I did a search. I have no idea if I could even have grouped with them because of that completely non-intuitive color coding the search window has now.
I dunno, maybe I'm just expecting too much. I would just like to occasionally get a team going doing papers, tips, story arcs, that kind of thing. I'm not always in the mood for TF's (well to be fair I'm rarely in the mood for them) but it seems these days when people say "teaming" what they really mean is "TF's".
As for global channels, I'm in LB and LFA. Maybe it's just been the time of day I'm on, but all I ever see folks talking about is the trials in those two channels.
Ah well, I'll keep plugging along. I do still enjoy the game, despite all my griping. I must admit to a certain degree of culture shock when it comes to the new content. The Devs just seem to be re-inventing the game and its direction and to be honest that bothers me a lot. I liked the old game, and don't really want to see it go. -
Quote:the largest one on the market with resources several magnitudes more than ours? and even then they only were able to do it after 6+ years and was absolutely outside of any character's individual stories, old content is completely gone or reworked? the one where unique named characters respawn seconds after you killed them? that one with the immersion?Originally Posted by FloatingFatMan
Completely and utterly wrong. Other MMO's can, have and DO update older content to tie up with new content. I'd mention one in particular, but forum rules forbid it.
It's a matter of resources only. So far, in i20, I've seen NOTHING to justify the secrecy of the signed NDA, and was hoping something like an old zone update was one of the things they were wanting to keep secret till launch, but nope. Instead, they waste resources on a stupid "participation ranking" system for the new trials that no one wanted, or likes.
coh has the advantage of having events being instanced, so we can have actual player story driven events happen without inconveniencing or removing content from others (mostly...somebody is going to whine about numidia and zone events) but by and large, i find the immersion far better served on the instances you are on being changeable, rather than having you at risk of losing content due to developer whim or player events that you do not have any part in.
and again, a few loud players reacting at various degrees of maturity are not representative of "no one", more that forums attract a subset of personality that leads to histrionic overrreaction by a few who can generate hundreds of posts about their displeasure.
