I think people aren't quite getting what I mean here.
Example; I was editing my Blaster the other day. The major tweaks were a few to the overall body structure and a lot of facial tweaking. The guy has all five costume slots, all of them filled. He has three where face is important. It was an almighty pain to transfer the scales of the corrected costume (#2) to the other two non-helmet slots (#3 and #4) because it involved saving the first file, then going to the second costume to edit and loading that, then resetting everything except the face. Now, that would be fine, but the reset buttons DON'T reset colour. So I had to ckeep flicking back and forth to make sure everything matched up as it should be.
All of that hassle could be averted if the scales could be saved as a seperate file, much like power customisation offers the option to save all, just primary or just secondary. That doesn't seem like a ground shaking thing to try and achieve, does it?
Oh, and I can't open costume files. I don't know what you need to do so, but I don't have it. Really, this shouldn't even be a problem in the first place. -
Quote:If thats an even level mob then I'm actually a bit worried. My AR/Ice Blaster takes even level mobs and chews up everything under an LT into shredded confetti with BU+Full Auto. RoA is even nastier.Originally Posted by Airhammer
I have a Blaster with Full Auto and I have a blaster wih RoA and they can barely take out a mob their level with a nuke unless I stack another attack
All of my other blasters can wipe a mob out their level with with ONE nuke..
With additional attacks I can easily wipe out a +2 mob with a Nuke on all my other blasters. The Nukes that have a crash do more damage per application. The crashless nukes while up more often do less damage. -

The Villain 50 mission I did was super satisfying in comparison to the (still awesome) Rogue one because, frankly, I wanted to pilot the Titan damnit!
But bombing the hell outta Salamanca? Beating up every Hero that tried to stop me? And THEN spanking the heck outta Desdemona? Giggity-giggity-EE-VIL!
-
Meh, I don't see a downside to taking the -end off of Nukes. I mean, huge recharge anyway anyone? And, heck, if you miss you're still stood next to the mob who wants to stave your face in, so...it has its tradeoffs.

One of the most annoying things to try and replicate from costume to costume is the scales on a character. So, we have costume save files, power save files...why not the scales? Because they are far more fiddly than either of those two to replicate over and over, something I had to do last night.

Quote:Unless they're wearing jackets which give them auto bulk, I dont have a single female char with the waist left at default. The default for the waist is unseen except on the slimest of models. The main problem is the physique slider barely effects the arms at all, while adding rediculous bulk to the legs, which leads to it being nigh useless.Originally Posted by BrandX
Move the physique slider up and move the waist slider up.
You can make them not look like a size zero, and not look bad. -
I just wish we could bulk up the arms WITHOUT ending up with stupidly huge hips. Seperate the sliders, or something.
I mean, a fair few of my female characters are not pansies. Vix, my Empath/Psi defender, will still happily punch the lights out of people and, being what she is, she's tough enough to do so. However, I can't make her look anything OTHER than size 0 or fashion model style without becoming some sort of freaking abomination. Its like your forbidden from making anything other than pixel perfect women. And sorry but, superhero genre or not, thats just a load of bull. -
You can take my empath/psi defender when...
Actually, no. No you can't. T'hell with that, frankly. Controllers control. Defenders buff/debuff. Just because controllers happen to do other stuff too? So? Defenders do it better. Is it really such a crime that, hey, get this, not EVERY AT is going to be great solo? -

It has hot chicks fighting what appears to be Nazis, dragons, and giant gattling-gun-wielding samurai with swords and automatic weapons. If you don't want to see it, you're a boring fart .

I would love a 'Skin Type' option too. And I have wanted a muscular texture for women for years. My blue skinned She-Hulk type just doesn't look right without it.
Although I doubt we'll ever see a new skelton in this game (due to the development time required) new skin tones and textures are definitely something I would like to see added. -
...
Since I can pretty much guarentee there will be a movie->game adaption, I have but one thing to say about that; IF it gets screwed up, someone deserves to be shot. Because it should be as feasible to screw up a transition like that as it is to spit at the sun until it goes out.
I want to see that, I have to admit. Heck, the designs of the stuff they were fighting looked ace (film/game design wannabe here )

You need to say things like that more often, Tech. This is so going in my quote box

Quote:S'got sweet bog all to do with location or ISP. Doesn't matter where I am when posting, the habit of it logging me out multiple times a session and sometimes simply failing to load is constant.

No problems over here... could well be an issue with the ISP over on your end (posting from the UK whilst maxing out the bandwidth downloading from steam)

Gack and buggerit. The auto-update still runs into problems conflicting with Windows 7s bloomin' admin rights thing.
*sigh* Still DL to desktop and run as admin for me, it seems. -
Quote:Except the OP did just that.Originally Posted by Sharker_Quint
It is at least come up with something, not I have an idea but I want you guys to figure it out for me. That's all.
Suggestion/Idea: Have an Accolade linked to Giant Monsters
Detail Discussion; how could that work?
No different from a lot of ideas that have been posted before. -

This is the section where you come up with the ideas all fleshed out and we then discuss them.
I like the idea, myself. /Signed -
You can take my BU+Aim+Inferno mob-slayer combo when you pry it from my charred, dead fingers.
If anything, tier 9s do NOT need changing. Some could simply do with a damage or, hey, even acc increase. Some of them are too weighed down by their secondary effects, which tend to be superflous when compared to simply making stuff fall over in huge numbers.
Hell, my Empath/Psi defender is more than capable of making whole mobs fall over with her Psi nuke. -

Well it seems to me, based on my observation, that being the fastest MMO team is like being the fastest tortoise. After all, there seems to be this pervasive philosophy that the entire point of a MMO is to do things as slowly as possible while keeping players paying a fee. Why shouldn't development also take the form of a timesink? Giving players what they want seems secondary to making them wait (and continue paying while they wait) for what they want.

Quote:Horse turd. The past two or three years now we've had cold as heck winters. Whats the Government done? Oh, yeah, the same as usual; made cuts in stupid areas and lined their own pockets.Originally Posted by EU_Damz
I suppose though that its only really been last year and this year where we've had a proper winter [and actual seasons!] so i can forgive them for not being fully prepared when the general acceptance is that we really dont get this kind of weather on a regular basis, especially with the current financial climate as it is [student fees! grrrrrr dont get me started on those!].
Right up there with ya, Damz (student too although wasn't in London at the time of the crapstorm) I still think we should have the Monarchy back...

Grats and Merry Christmas, Shad. You'll have to be packing the caffeine, though, because those little tots pack one hell of a -sleep power
