They need to hire Ominous Voice to do music.
I wish there was a way for me to replace the main screen themes with those two tracks =/ -

Basically? Until we get Test server or screenshot proof of anything, I'm not biting at any of that. Way too much potential for the utter vandalisation of hopes and wants.
Meh. I hate cryptic.

Quote:Unless for osme reason your using Scrapper numbers for a Blaster attack, then Inferno with BU and Aim at level 50 with common IOs 3 slotted with damage does a maximum of 1757 damage. And that's without taking set IOs into account at all, or stuff like Assault or team buffs.Originally Posted by Another_Fan
That thread has shots of the power, the scrapper numbers are the same as the controller numbers etc etc. 1713 points of aoe damage with a hold @ level 50. Inferno with aim and build up does what 1500 pts ?
You can check by typing [Ion Radial Final Judgement] and clicking on it. Its overpowered in the extreme.
Oh, and you can get Inferno at level 32, effective best at level 34. Thats effective 16 levels before level 50, and that's also not taking into account that you likely have to unlock Alpha slot and THEN get the Judgement slot.
So, this whole thread is a bit of a strawman, really. -
I still think that this would make for an epic addition for, say, the STF finale;
Versus Lord Recluse

wow I completely misread the OP, my apologies - coffee hadn't kicked in at the time.
Now that I have read it correctly, I think the only power that would probably benefit from having a purple set would be Fear. As Resistance and Defence get capped so easily, having a purple set would be kind of pointless imo. Heal has its own very rare set anyway - Pancea
OH. You mean PvP IOs. Pft, what, you actually believe they exist? How much've you had to drink, man? Maybe you should lie down for a bit. -

I approve of this OP.

Quote:I have always played with the music on. I have always played with the sound on, even when Skyping and suchnot. The only time I turned it down was on Skype, and when playing my PB, until someone was kind enough to explain how to silence that horrifically annoying whine in their powers.Originally Posted by poptart_fairy
Yes, we do. I can't recall a single playerbase of any MMO, ever, keeping the music turned on if they play it for any dedicated amount of time. Doesn't matter how shiny and new it is, it's still going to be repetitive and exactly the same several months down the line.
Incidentally I love how you're the first one to bark back with 'we don't know' when your own viewpoint on the matter was prefaced by a definite statement of why people switch the music off, heh.
So, I annacdotally dissaprove your sweeping statement by dint of existing.

Oh boy, where do I start?
Animation quality; it looks like an old Epic cinematic, y'know the ones with bits of live action in them? And, actaully, live action would be preferable. Because whoever did the races ran, skipped and dove straight into the middle of the uncanny valley, from the trailers I saw. The helmets dont even have the distinctive red eyes, and the design looks strangely off.
In comparison to Space Marine, the upcoming Xbox 3PS game, it looks like something they did on a miniscule budget, which seems wierd considering all the lengths they went to to get certain writers, actors and a vis-cap company. Also, it's not 40k if it doesnt have a bit of dark humour in it, not everyone IS white in it, and...
I dunno. Maybe after all the top class work done with Dawn of War, DoW2 and what looks epic for Space Marine AND Dark Millenium online...
It just feels like a let down. If I see it, maybe I'll be proved wrong. But the trailer made me go "What...? Thats IT?!" -
TL; DR version -
Lots of 'hints' that could mean a million and one things or be utter falesy.
So, best to just wait for official announcements to save a boat load of dissapointment.
*le sigh* -
T'be honest, I only used the links as examples. City of Heroes has some unique themes already, ones they really should capitalise on if they ever did do more music. The Heroes/Atlas Plaza music theme, and the Arachnos main theme.
Also, <3 the Rikti Crash Site music and Vanguard compound. Epic rifs ftw XD
Also also, by our own Ominous Voice, I give you; Pure Win -
Voice chat with friends = Skype
The rest of the time, text = superior -

Lord Nemesis should have his own styled building interiors. The only base we see is in the Shadow Shard. Hi-tech/science maps don't really match up to his troops style.
There was a Tip mission for an Automaton Factory I got recently which uses the mission map for the Clockwork King's in Synapses Taskforce, which disappointed me when I got into the mission.
Steam coming out of pipes, partly built automatons and jaegers, 'empty' warhulks. Brass plating, elaborately decorated machinery, electrical spheres and sparking cables. Troop barracks and shooting ranges.
Something more suited to the vaunted genius of the this Arch-Villain.
If any faction is let down in the map/terrain department then it's Nemesis... -
You don't seem to understand the entire point of the Warshade AT, in comparison to a Nictus.
Longbow would, IMO, make a lame a EAT. I'd rather have something with more depth and unique options. Like Rikti.
/Unsigned. -
I'd quite like each zone to get it's own theme.
And THEN add dynamic sound.
Dynamic sound's principle is pretty simple. It has levels. For example;
Level 0 - All the time (except when ramping up levels). Subtle, quiet, themed to fit the zone
Level 1 - Some enemies spotted in close promiximity (so as not to bug while travelling. Only if within/near aggro range, for example) Slightly quicker pace, 'alert' style
Level 2 - Enemies aggroed. Standard mob size. Actiony 'combat' music.
Level 3 - Bigger mob/more high class enemies like LTs, or a Boss. More sfx added, different twists to the music.
Level 4 - Huge mob numbers. Think Rikti Invasion spawn sizes. The 'crank it up to 11' level.
(Level 5) - Unique theme twist reserved for GMs or AVs, etc. EBs showing up in Invasion mobs, that sort of thing. Maybe even have Unique music for AV fights
Example; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnogS...eature=related
(Ignore the picture, but try playing that track while wandering around Nerva, for example)
Level 0: Start onwards
Level 1: @ 2:22
Level 2: @ 4:47
Level 3: @ 5:55
Level 4: @ Ok, I got the numbers mixed. It was only 4 levels of music they had. Even so, you get the point.
Also, Boss Music
Dynamic music ftw, I say

^Reminds me of a story someone once told me:
A man buys a house on the beach, and while staying in this house he notices that every day a boy walks out onto the beach and starts throwing starfish back into the ocean. After a few days of seeing this boy do this, the man walks out and confronts the boy over his actions.
"What are you doing?" the man asks. The boy replies "I'm saving the starfish". The man smirks and then says "Your kidding yourself if you think your going to save all of the starfish. There are too many of them. Throwing starfish back won't change anything. It's meaningless!"
The boy then reaches down on the beach and picks up a starfish. The boy turns to the man and says "Well, it certainly means a lot to this one", and throws the starfish back into the ocean.
The people who blither on about 'not solving the true root of the problem'...a set of people called the Government should be doing that, dontcha think? It shoudln't have to get to the point of average joes trying to crush crime rings and save children from lives like that. But the stuff they do do? I say that's admirable.
While I'm not sure I'd have the guts (I sure don't have the physique or training) to do that sorta thing, I applaud those who do. -

How?
_ Lore limited power & animation customization for both.
_ Give them unique pieces (sash for example) for hero side, like the SoA have, and even better, make all the arachnos pieces to combine with normal costume pieces for other costume slots.
_ Remove silly restrictions like "Warshades cant fly" or "Peacebringers cant take teleport friend". SoA have access to the leadership pool twice. I want a flying WS! And I thought devs hate villains
Yeah, sure...
_ Give them APP & PPP. They can switch sides too, so they should be able to get the epic powers from the other side. I know EATs dont get access to any ancillary power pool, but there are not that many powers if you go fully human form. I stopped playing both WS and PB at lvl 38 because I already got all the powers I wanted, and Im not a "4 power pools a build guy". And that was before inherent stamina.
They should get brutes/tankers APP/PPP with some minor tweaks to avoid having same powers twice like they did with dominators/controllers APP/PPP
Some of this suggestions would bring new cool possibilities for the epics archetypes, so some of us could play them again with new features.
Depends what you mean by 'Lore Limited'. If that means 'PBs ONLY get light and WS' ONLY get dark', then that gets a huge 'Get stuffed' from me. Good is not always shiny and Evil is not always grim and nasty. Arbitrary lock outs suck.
However, yes. Colour and power customisation. I'd rather use the ground punch animation for Solar Flare, for instance. And I hate the old Flares animation on Luminous Scatter(?).
Yes, yes and yes. And let us have no-helmet options for SoA's, for frag sakes! NPCs can do it with ease, widows can do it...why not SoAs? And why are the Widow hairs so horrifically limited? Oh, and more than one armour slot, kthnxbai.
All for that.
I was mega pissed when I had a Mids build for my Crab, only to find that he CAN'T actually get body mastery to get more +end and recovery in his build. No good reason = suckage.

SHE can have a hat with long hair.
So WHY are we stuck with the god damned freaking horrible bald Cabal hat? Hmm? There is NO good excuse for that;

But...with what are effectively claws.
So;
