Tell me how much sense it's going to make when someone wielding a Carnie rapier with one hand (Broadsword user) outdamages someone wielding a, let's just say, Rikti sword with two hands (Katana user). Or hell, even someone wielding that same weapon, a Carnie rapier with two-hands is going to do less damage than a Broadsword user using the exact same weapon.

Wow, I'm deeply offended that you grouped me with those Basement Dwellers (J/K!!)

Anyhow you missed the point entirely. ENTIRELY.

Sorry did not have time to read through the whole post.

Does anyone know if animation will change with blade weapons depending on the weapon you choose?

Meaning lets say I have a ninja blade stalker and I choose the red cap dagger as my blade will I wield it with 2-hands using ninja blade animation? Or will it switch to broadsword animation so I can wield it with 1 hand?

[/ QUOTE ]

No. Animations and FX will not change. The redcap dagger is not available for Katana users (handle's not long enough to wield as a katana)

[/ QUOTE ]

I really think this needs to be tweaked for Broadsword now.. They need to have a two-hand option (Slower Katana animations) for this to make sense.

Broadsword is wielded with one hand.

Katana with two.

Maybe it's just me but I always imagine States sounding like a cliche' superhero who talks in an unknowlingly condescending way.

Am I the only one who chuckles everytime someone asks for 'endgame content for 50s'?

We did test a more global system that could just shift the hue of the entire FX script around the color wheel, but it's not a complete solution to the problem.

[/ QUOTE ]


I know this is just feeding the fire, but I'd be incredibly satisfied with just that.

Also MUCH thanks BaB, you're the first dev to give very specific details on why this can't be done. I've been hoping for power customization since i1, but now I have a better understanding of why it can't just be a 'slapped-on' feature.

Lololol

It's kinda like Disneyland.

Alright so, power customization is out've the picture. Green lightning, blue fire, etc (just too hard to do).

Where they stated previously that WEAPON customization (swords, katanas, spines, things that only attach to your body) would be much much easier to do.

I suppose I can live without the whole power coloring thing, but seeing everyone with the same swords, axes, and spines sticking out've their bodies is getting pretty stale.

And it's pretty appearent in this thread that it's something people really want.

Plaques

Suggested by: Me
Category: Decorative
Custom: Yes
Type: Purchased
Description: You can set up several plaques in your base. You can costumize what the text says on the plaque, maybe having only one to describe the base in general, or an entire hallway of plaques describing each member of your supergroup.

I think this would be cool with the new Veteran Reward weapon displays. For example, having a Nemesis rifle mounted on the wall, and then underneath it you could tell a story about your SG and the Nemesis, and how you got the rifle.

Yes! 5th Column!

I hope they are the 'final boss' in this multi-year arc! That would be sweet!

I'm going to give my opinion then. I would just up and quit of loot and crafting went beyond the level it's currently at. Almost everyone I team with feels the same way.

[/ QUOTE ]

So, I guess you're going to quit when the Invention system comes out in I9 or 10 then?

[/ QUOTE ]

Possibly. It depends on if the content is easy to access to all users and not just elite powergamers. If it follows the latter, then it makes Smash Bros. Brawl Online my next 'online gaming shift'. =P


I hope they learned their lesson with bases though; things that are not easily available to the casual gamer will be easily bypassed, Cities is not that kind've game.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
...

the problem is, the Cities have acknowledged that the core of their base is players who DO NOT WANT that stuff in this game.

Making the game more like WoW is going to cause more cancellations than new subscriptions. The SWG effect, if you will.

[/ QUOTE ]Saying players have "acknowledged they DO NOT WANT that stuff in this game" ....Doesn't make it true.

You go ahead and try to speak for 100 thousand other players and type in CAPS, I'm just giving my opinion what I would like .

I also find it funny how in almost every interview since CoV came out, the question "Players really want to know about the Redemption/Fall from Grace system" in one form or another. But they always seem to reply with 'Well there's the technology to do it! And there are no boundry or balance issues! But it's not on schedule right now, maybe when the player base wants it enough!" I mean yeah, a Hero who became a Villain at level 20 will miss all the 20-50 hero content. But he will be experience all the 20-50 villain content.. it works both ways..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

Alright I have demands, or else Posi gets it -holds magnet over Posi- feel like doing anything funny, and I drop this magnet see? Resetting his internal clock... meaning he'll have to reset it again BY HIMSELF!!


Alright demand 1:

Party for Cuppa on Test Server; Pocket D

Demand 2:

Replace City Rep in Atlas with CuppaJo.

Demand 3:

Replace Status of Atlas with giant statue of Cuppa drinking coffee... ok.. maybe that's a bit much, but atleast a statue.

Is there a thread in this section that lists screenshots of all the Patron Powers? I've been scanning the boards like mad lately trying to find ANY, but am having no luck. Would be nice to see what each of them looks like before making the descision of permanently being stuck with one on a high level character..

[ QUOTE ]
Hmm....I just had a thought.....

If Boomtown and Faultline are "reconstructed" a bit to pre-war status.....will they be renamed to reflect those changes. I.E. back to Baumtown and Overbrook?


And as for the Faultline TF....You can still see it through the War Walls. I found the door mentioned before but it no longer works. Through the walls: (1) (2)

[/ QUOTE ]

There is actually much more beyond that door programmed in the Faultline map. A guy managed to actually use Teleport to get past the Warwalls back in i2 (a bug which is now obviously fixed) and took a screenshot of the rest of Faultline.

The forums and the player base of CoX have shown repeatedly that PvP is in reality not something they care too much about.

[/ QUOTE ]

So you're saying that there is no forum or website for City of Hero? That it does not have it's own PR's that relay information to and from the devs? Their forum emoticons are also more awesome than ours.

And actually the MMO Market is much bigger in Asia (specifically S. Korea and China) than the US.

[/ QUOTE ]

No what I was saying is that they are two seperate worlds. Two seperate markets and therefore must be dealt with as seperate entities. Naturally Asia is a bigger market, population density alone dictates that reality. But their customer base in the states and Europe are less about PvP than the Asian market. As I said apples and chickens.

You dont call it a Chevy Nova in Mexico otherwise it will not sell.

Shame they didn't think that way with the Nintendo "Wii" =0. I do see what you mean, but it's not likely. Cryptic is a very independant and relatively young company; it'd be alot've work to make segration in both versions.

Hah, yeah.. Foreshadow is the main icon for the Korea CoH propoganda. I heard you fight him and the rest of the Korean heroes in Scirrocco's Patron Arc in Villains, kind've off-topic.. but does anyone have screenshots of them?...

[ QUOTE ]
There seems to never be any jeopardy attached to any activity or choice in COH - and without jeopardy there isn't a challenge for the players to rise to.

[/ QUOTE ]

I like that, a lot. I just may stick it in my sig.

I really think the only PvP aspect the devs are worried about is the chance of recovery % of items destroyed not being able to be recovered.

I assume Cricket means the PvP base raids to steal IoP from other SGs has some problems. Cryptic might have learned by now, appease the PvE crowd first, they are the majority. PvP and all its components should be put on the back burner, if not set on fire and stomped out like a bag of dog doo-doo.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wrong.

"City of Hero" Korean release early 2006. South Korea; majority of these players are hardcore PvPers, and Cities is no different from what I've heard. It is also the homeland of NCSoft.

They play more, they pay more, PvP is not going to be set on the priority backburner.


Also, 21 days?! What happened to the '3 months' plan you guys had in beta? Keeping an item for 3 weeks is not worth defending in my own opinion.
