Hola, I figure that with about 3 months of summer, I should be doing *something* productive. I tried putting my main, Viewtiful Shmoe , to paper and loved it, so I'm getting more into the visual arts nowadays.

The last two days: I've made these two pieces.
One Two

I also do works in Photoshop: One Two Three

I did this one awhile ago on an online art chat.

Even chalk if it's absolutely nagging me to put it down.

So, whenever I come up with a new piece, I'll put it down here. I plan on doing more black and white pieces at this time, and if you want me to do one of your character/s, you can either PM me what you want with a reference or post it here (I'd be very flattered! ). Any critiques are welcome, since I know my drawings have a bit of work and refinement to go through.

Thanks.

I haven't had time to get on test, but I was wondering what people are reporting about the changes to hurricane. Anyone have any stories?

[/ QUOTE ]

This is as good a place to put this, as any:

I checked in a few Hurricane changes today that QA is going to look at. In Theory, these changes should mean that for PvE, Hurricane acts Exactly as it did before the previous change, while in PvP, it should act exactly as it does currently. Hopefully this change will get a green light from QA -- I've spent quite a bit of time on it over the last few days.

[/ QUOTE ]Wait. Does this mean that PvE Hurricane is reverting to pre-3/31 Test patch status (AKA what we've known it as for most of the game's history)?

Actually, a better solution might be to reduce the HP to 1% IF the attack on you takes over 50% or 75% of your total HP (or some value I can't do the math of to balance it out). This prevents being killed by AS after a couple of preliminary hits.

Oh, so this is more about manners than the actual topic.

Well, since it's about manners, I can see your point. However, I think you'll agree that a certain issue can only go on for so long before the people involved become irritated, can't you?

I'll try to be more polite.

DANKE!

Might want to consider an exploit that can be enacted due to Blaster's Defiance, and quickly SKing the lower-level Blaster after the one-shot (to 1 HP) so he can Nova the whole group with enhanced accuracy (due to the SK).

Well, there is an alternate version to the little song, but I don't think it would be acceptable here.

Yes...continue, and soon, I will be the only one people can recognize! MUWAHAHAH!

And this cham-pag-nee takes awhile, ok?

Forget the hearts, I'll just make a love potion.

Either that, or it's cham-pag-nee.

But yeah, we know (or at least from what we've been given) CoH ain't getting much, but rubbing it in our faces ain't gonna help much, eh?

Some of us actually think it's more fun.

[/ QUOTE ]

And how do you feel now?
BURN!

Anyway... i7 in April. Heh. I feel bad for myself, and worse for CoH'ers.

[/ QUOTE ]How the hell am I to decide? I7 isn't even out yet. It could still have stuff for CoH, but frankly I doubt it.

Even if it didn't, I'd take a scrapper over a brute any day of the week, thank you.

[ QUOTE ]
Yea this is pretty bad. The people that have just COH are pretty much getting walked over. While those with COV get everything new. Sure the games aren't equal and this will make them be, but the patches before were to get ready for villians and after to finish it off?

The people with COH have waited for something new for months and month and have got nothing. You don't alienate one group to improve another.

[/ QUOTE ]

CoH? I remember that game. I used to play that years ago. Wasn't it the fore-runner of CoV?

You mean people still play it?

[/ QUOTE ]Yes. Yes we do. ¬_¬ Some of us actually think it's more fun.

All I want is the damn CoH brokers. I've wanted them for 4 months now. At the moment I'm stuck in a rut wondering whether or not they purposely didn't add it to the feature list, or they just figure "screw it, let them keep guessing, save it for I8."

I'm a bit uneasy.

All I want for CoH is villain costumes and newspaper missions. They just get those in, I'll be fine....

I reeeealllllllllllly hope they got brokers in. >_<

I might pick it up, because I'm a nerd like that.

Maybe it'll catch on, maybe it won't. I don't see many superhero CCG's.

Only on Tuesday nights.

[/ QUOTE ]THAT'S MY LINE! :O

Seriously. I use that line in real life a lot. "Only on <enter day>s."

Am I the only guy who's actually tried this out extensively to know how much of an effect it's making? You just run after them now...like any other knockback power. I guess only I can live with it. :|

Just did a Rugged Crey mission with my MA/SR. Mostly against minions; some Lts. Whirlwind still does pretty well, it's just a bit of an added hassle trying to catch up with the guy after you knock them back, but I just used Sprint to catch up. Once the KB fix comes in, it should gain some value back. At the end of the mission, when I was about to die, I turned on Conserve Energy, Elude, and Whirlwind. Since I could still perform attacks while in Whirlwind, and the fact that this was the Rikti monkey mission, I was like a twirling torrent of pwnage. Don't think I'll be respeccing out of it. It's just too much fun.

As for PvP, to be honest before Whirlwind was changed to KB it never affected too many enemies in the first place (with all the mez protection). If anything, this should be a boost in PvP because there are many instances where KB is a whole lot more useful in PvP than knockup.

Man...I loved whirlwind on my MA/SR...knockback ain't gonna do much except in a team situation...

Might be time to use a respec.

Yeesh. He meant goodness as in the same use of "Gosh" or "Golly Gee, Batman! The Joker is one bad son of a [expletive]!" Let's keep the thread on topic, here. ¬_¬

Just adding my voice to the group:
Less END, and a bit quicker would be wonderful.

I've noticed this too on Whirlwind before this patch...some clarification would be great. I loved this power on my MA/SR.

Looking at Blueeyed's results, I have the opinion that the real problem isn't the Defiance itself, but the presentation of it in the bar, since the scaling of it does look like you're barely getting any boost at all. Perhaps they could change it so the bar moves up more at higher hp levels than currently?

Very perceptive, Blueeyed.

that they don't actually care about anything we say and any changes that they make that correspond to our complaints are actually just coincidence.

Unfortunately, the saying is "It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you" and the same logic applies to being jaded.

[/ QUOTE ]I find these to be kinda far-fetched, but I'm glad I could get a point of view from you, Hellfire.

In any case, from the data shown it looks like Defiance ain't working right in the first place (lag of the effect taking place, to be precise). To say: "Why bother? They'll just throw it out anyway." is just an exercise in pessimism and really gets us all nowhere.

I'd like to encourage the productivity here, because there are people contributing to this with helpful feedback and data. We just have to keep the thread like that, simply.
