Added to the OP, Angel, thanks for reminding me =]

Yeah, I know

A few simple things to make up for some shortfalls;
Kheldian General:
-Transformation animation time halved to 1 second, possibly even made 0.75 of a second
-Decrease interuptable segment of transformation (especially to Dwarf Form) if at all possible
-Overhaul Inherent. Grant something while solo. Currently Kheldians are the only AT that gets 0% benefit from their Inherent while solo.
-Add slow and debuff resistance to Dwarf Forms.
-Possibly add something to Tier 1 armour (Auto power)
-Remove Travel Pool restrictions (TP and Fly)
-Add Kheldians Sashes and Kheldian Eye Aura option to the tailors
Warshade Specific:
-Reduce Animation Time of Dark Extraction to 1.5 seconds, spawn Extracted Essence at the start of the animation to neutralise the possibility of summon failure due to body fading during the animation
-Buff the Heal or Damage of Essence Drain, or severely reduce the Endurance Cost. Currently the power does not deliver suitably for how much it costs.
Peacebringer Specific:
-Increase Pulsar Stun Mag from 2 to 3
-Remove -25% ToHit penaly from Group Energy Flight
-Add Untouchable to Restore Essence/Remove rooting
-Change KB to KD for all melee attacks
All I can think of for now. But yeah, some general tweaks. The Transformation time and the Warshade Extraction changes are the big ones, though. Having a power fail because the thing took too damn long is rediculously annoying. -

Kings Row
The gutural roar of a car engine being boosted to race track levels echoed down the road.
Quicksilver came round the corner in a drift turn, wheels leaving faintly steaming skidmarks as he accelerated towards the Crab Bot. The thing was asture enough to spot him, a sweep of one claw batting an unfortunate automobile his way.
The Autobot jinked to one side, before transforming smoothly as he neared the target. Hitting the ground at speed he went into a slide, momentum aiming him directly underneath the thing.
"Come to papa, you lumbering hunk o' scrap," he muttered, bringing his gun up single handedly and taking aim at the big red target as his skid brought him level with the things legs... -
Quote:^ This. F2P would do more harm than good to City Of. And, thankfully, the Devs and NC seem well aware of that.Originally Posted by Sermon
Freemium models tend to expect even subscribing players to pay up for in game advantages. Such trends tend to disappoint and discourage long-time players who are used to getting everything just by paying their monthly fee.
Fortunately, Paragon Studios has consistently dismissed the free to play questions in the press, citing their desire to accommodate their existing community. I, for one, hope this continues.
Currently, I think CoH has the best possible payment model for sustaining itself: monthly fee + aesthetic and service micro-transactions. -

Also, do we really care that much about global names? I don't
But for some people, yes. Yes this is an issue. -

Server Reduction
Once all 15 servers are there, we'll likely see a server reduction to follow. Maybe not immediately, but it will happen.
I know most won't agree with this statement, and the devs would deny it, but time will prove it out.Oh boy...Quote:Originally Posted by American_Angel
They should give players three server transfer tokens each week from now on.

I don't know how you can call that solo, but yeah, bots/traps is stupid powerful.
My bots/traps "solo'd" Countess Crey on a Kahn TF by accident.
And anyway, do you realise how often MM pets, especially Tier 1s, die? It ain't as easy as 'point and shoot' I tell ya... -
Quote:That'd be a valid arguement if you could change costumes anywhere other than the tailor.Originally Posted by Xzero45
Eh. Feels like a waste of time and resources, considering there is a "save" feature and the devs constantly tell us how painful redoing the UI could be. But hey, if they ever get spare time and some random guy decides to go for this, like with [walk], I won't complain.
Since you can't, this is a valid request for those that make frequent use of the costume creator and alternate slots. -
Quote:'Simplest' fix (As in, I have no idea how hard it would be to code, whatever)Originally Posted by docbuzzard
I think if they wanted to do something like that, it would just be squatter's rights, as in who got the name first. I also think that's more trouble that it would be worth. This is like complaining that someone gave you a BMW, BUT iN THE WRONG DAMNED COLOUR!!!!
However I do think you are making a mountain out of a molehill at the very least. Then again if the enjoyment you get from the game is so marginal that this perceived slight makes you bail, so be it.
-Whoever created the account first, so long as their account is still active, comes first
-If an account came first but has been inactive for more than, say, 3-6 months then it loses out to an active created-second account.
-Accounts that are both owend by the same person give the owner choice over what account and global goes where.
-Trial Accounts are not listed for comparison, due to not being active, paying customer accounts.
Fairly simple, I think? -

Only if Warshades can have Mire and Eclipse in forms

Fitness makes them overpowered? I wouldn't call a nova's 101-ish dps gimped, but fitness doesn't do anything for the forms that they couldn't already achieve before.
They're a little quicker, a little hardier, and Dwarf can jump a little higher. Nice? Yes. Overpowered? Hardly.

Quote:And then there's Bots/Traps, going it solo like a bossOriginally Posted by Dechs Kaison
I'm not going to lie, that's pretty damn impressive.
And I don't discount the added mobs. Scrappers pull in Rikti to help them saturate AAO and Soul Drain for pylon tests.

I'mma backin' out I'm afraid, certainly for this month.
*Alert! Red Spy is in the Base!*
Uni's sappin mah creativiteh!

Best of luck to those still in the running! -

And no, being told that 'NA takes precedence' isn't right, not when the flipside can be true and players who have been around since Beta could easily lose out to someone who joined in the past month.
In fact, the biggest concern seems to be trial accounts, and hoping that the logical is the actual, and that they don't get taken into account.
Paying Account > Trial Account. -
Floaty, give the Shadowe back his wise

I'd rather trade out my blasts and 'utility' on my Nictus (redside shade) for some human form mez protection and some better damage =[

Love those MFing Cysts. Keeps us on our toes.
What else is a challenge when you've got a MFing warshade on the team?

I'll suggest it again;
Costume Slots Addition
Final Number: 10
Slot 1: Base - Character Creation
Slot 2: Level 10 - Free
Slot 3: Level 20 - Current Unlock
Slot 4: Level 25 - Free
Slot 5: Level 30 - Current Unlock
Slot 6: Level 35 - Free
Slot 7: Level 40 - Current Unlock
Slot 8: Level 45 - Free
Slot 9: Level 50 - New Unlock
Slot 10: Halloween Salvage
Sorted. People that don't care about costume slots much get the 5 for free (Base and four free ones) while those who DO care get double slots to play with. And all that needs working on is a slight UI tweak and one new mission to unlock the level 50 slot.
I don't see a downside here. -

Quote:Hell-OOOO?! Does anyone remember, I dunno, VANGUARD? ROMANS? VEATS? Has someone over there had a complete damn brain failure? Not like Players have their names floating above their heads or anything like that, eh?More enemy group pieces and street clothes are in the works -- the main thing keeping some pieces out of the creator is that the team doesn't want players to make a perfect duplicate of a generic enemy model.
Ugh....sorry, but that tired old horse needs to stop getting beaten, aleady. It's already decomposing in the sun as it is...
Nice to see it's finally dropped that maybe re-vamping the old junk from I1 and such is a GOOD idea. Not like I and others have been mentioning it for frag alone knows how long...
Oh, and I remember why I don't frequent sites like those often; because all the posters there seem to blow bubbles of goo while wearing their freaking underwear on their heads...
'Ripped off DCUO'? Uh....it....bu......
It's been out seven years long thern DCUO you plebian, ignorant trog!! Je-sus!
