Quote:It would allow me to not have to go to Warburg to utilise Alpha's orbital Railcannon, ReasonOriginally Posted by DreamWeaver
Wait, wait, hold up... where's my Orbital Lance power? Will it be in Alpha slot? Can I unlock it? Could it be bought as a temp???
Need this badly. If only so as:
- I can annoy my mate/playbuddy Lance
- I can legitimately say "nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

Quote:70% S/L resistance, apparently.Originally Posted by McNum
Had my first run-in with a War Walker on my DB/Will Scrapper today. She cuts a path through pretty much anything. Except War Walkers. Those things just won't die. They must resist Lethal a lot and they even have a heal. Then just as I was winning "War Walker is preparing an Orbital Lance!". Yeah, no. I wasn't going to get hit by that. It sounded bad.
Still a +1 War Walker is pretty much a dead-even fight for my Scrapper. Neither of us can win unbuffed, but a stack of reds tilt the balance barely in my favor.

I have got to fight these guys soon!

The only mob that really annoys me in the whole group is the Heavy Troopers, since their missiles effectively blind me by taking up the whole screen with their effects, and the recharge time for that attack seems to be about the same time as the full animation, which basically leads to huge flashes and smoke taking up my whole screen until they're dead. If I don't target them right away and stop the blindness, it can be a tough battle.
Forewarned is forearmed, 'cos those things are actually more effective than a Blind Grenade. -

I'd like to see the Power Pools revamped as well, and made customizable.
A couple changes I would like (but I realize many wouldn't) is to buff the Leadership Pool, but make it Ally-only, and make the Fighting Pool available to non-Melee ATs only. Melee ATs would have access to a new Pool that would have ranged and maybe support abilties.
Do not like. -

Approved rough draft layout for Comrade Hero and Black Widow by the lovely Sorah Suhng.
This will take a while to complete - but will be worth it.
HOLY BACKGROUND, BATMAN!!
....Right. You now need to help me find my bottom jaw.
Anyone see where it landed?

I like the idea, except for the Tier 1 pets. Yes, thematically it's cool. However, it's also a nightmare practically. Half a pet for BG mode, twice as much resummoning as other MMs, twice as many minions taking up room on crowded maps? Fast dying minions ain't fun, especially at higher levels, where they die fast anyway.
I think you'd need to sacrifice a little of the theme for actual practicality. Other than that? Five legs up. -
....OhSHI-!

I'd like the Leadership toggles not to have such a stupidly obscene end/sec cost. For what they do, it's only really viable on a few of my toons, such as my MM and my Empath.
And Tough and Weave are guilty of this. Sure, they are nice bonuses, but they already take up a power pick, slots and a power pool choice. Getting penalised with end/sec cost is a bit much to have on top, IMO. -

It used to be disallowed, actually, for some time after it went Live.
As far as Walk and these costume swaps... I see no reason not to allow them... Provided the model you swap into has a walking animation attached to it, which I'm not sure all of them do. -
I wouldn't mind if the 'last mob of enemies' actually showed up on Kill All maps. It often doesn't, yet it shows up on objective based maps.

Are the Goliath War Walkers even bigger? Or just EB re-named and the same size as the War Walker?
That Orbital Lance 3-stage power looks awesome, too. Imagine a tier 9 that gave you three powers and an orbital strike....

Then may I make a suggestion? Stop trying, like I have.
Trying to argue the point with certain people, especially when they just put you on ignore because they can't rebutt you, achieves about as much as trying to fill the grand canyon by peeing in to it does.
What? You see this icon? Villain, remember?

Give the random standers something to do. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be put in. And I too have run into the stupidly long times that it can take to drop tips or, in my more annoying case, morality missions. Thank you, Sods law... -
Hmm. Actaully wonder what sort of coding would be required to allow toggles to run while walking. After all, aside from activation, which tends to be rooted or simply not animate if moving, toggles in general don't require any new animations.
Hmn. A 'Don't_Allow_Attacks' state? Being able to use Walk and, say, Shadow Cloak from Dark Armour or Warshades version, or heck any toggle aura, would be pretty cool. -
New players don't have the vet attacks.
Also, not having to pick the three fitness powers isn't gonna suddenly make everyone able to solo lvl 54 Hero class Statesman. It just means that 1-22 won't be a suck-trip that lacks endurance, so people can actaully get on and do what they should be doing; enjoying the game. -
I'd personally say given the ammount of variety that we have, these ones, being of CBs creation, would be specific to what he says. Which, as it turns out he has already done so, and makes perfect sense
I do know that the DeFeurards don't work like that, however

I thought the Unionverse was basically the CoXverse as seen on the Union Server, which would differ to the CoXverse on Virtue, or Triumph, or Defiant, or whatever.
Because those servers don't have the characters and events and history that this server does.
So if you're writing for the Unionverse, you're writing for the CoXverse. Just -a- CoxVerse. Which is the Unionverse.
And the Editors also happen to include every other player on the server, to avoid complete rompage over other peoples toes. -
/Unsigned. It just...I...heck, if I have to actually explain it, that in and of itself is a problem.
Also; why the hell would Synapse, arguably the fastest character in the CityOf Universe, give a -5% penalty to movement speed?
Pfffhehehehe....sorry, but that just made me smirk. -
Quote:No one has ever said that. The simple, inescabale fact is that, as it was, the St Johns event would have. Unless we simply godmoded the game world into it 'not being a big deal'.Originally Posted by Jaijot
I admit I made a mistake: I took the number of total victims -both dead and injured- of year 2004 Beslan School siege, and year 1999 bombings of Moscow, Buynaksk and Volgodonsk and compared those numbers to the number of dead victims of St. Johns massacre. But the exact count of victims is irrelevant, whether 100 or 1000, a terrorist attack does not automatically lead into a war.
I'm getting a little sick of the whole damn event, in truth, due to having to explain the reasoning behind decrying it over and over. -
Actually -
Wait, why the hell are we talking about Marvel? At least CityOf Canon makes al inear kinda sense. I gave up trying to keep track of just what the smeg is going on in Marvel canon, or comic-book canon at all for that matter, because it's so damn wierd it makes my brain hurt.
And, again, for the umpteenth time; MMO stories///!= Comic Book story, for the very simple reason that all the stories in a certain comic universe are controlled by one person/group, i.e. the writers.
In an MMO setting, you simply cannot do the same things. Yes, CoX is a game based on comic book super heroes, but it does NOT work on the same principals in practical terms, because it CAN'T. -
Quote:Ahh, yes. I totally forgot about that. As everyone knows, like Villains, the Devs hate walk.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
I'm sorry, that's obviously overpowered. (Actually, I wonder if Walk's allowed because it, too, shuts everything off.)

Quote:/Is reminded of a Dilbert comic about certain database types as an idea and chucklesOriginally Posted by Wolfram
Indeed. For reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...rorist_attacks.
Now, I'm not claiming Wikipedia is infallible, but they'd have to be missing something pretty huge here.
Anyway, that proves my point nicely. Out of the actual terrorist attacks, the one on forums would have been second only to 9/11. Trying to ignore that would be like ignoring....I dunno, something equally horrific. I know the politcal and rioting ones are worse, but that's where countries are in a state of war or civil war anyway. Not just an out of the blue civilian target. -
By 'passive' toggles I mean things like costume toggles; the Carnie, KoA, PPD Hardsuit ones, etc.
See, if you go into the AE Power suppresion room, there is actually one power that still works there; walk. So it is possible to flag powers as exceptions, to give them a name.
So, walk acts in a very similar way to the power suppresion room. Would it be possible to transfer that effect to the costume toggles, to allow them and walk to be used simultaneously? -
