If you your main concern was to get your idea presented to the devs you would have simply PM'd them the suggestion. Instead you posted on the open forums hoping people would like the idea and help promote it. Now you're disappointed that your idea isn't getting the support you hoped for.
Good luck on your next suggestion, maybe it will be more popular.

This is a superhero game based on comics. In comics, superheroes throw their shields. It's kind of iconic.
Yours is just random and absurd.
Above statement: Incorrect
Sword laser utilisation: Already in practice
Practical ramifications: Bigger swords: Lack of Need: Two weapons
Shield purpose: Defensive
Throwing Shield: Result: 0% Defence
Result: Swift Death -
A huge word of warning;
If you do Makos arc, for the love of all thats sane, make sure you have KB protection. No, seriously, I mean it. That arcs missions has the most fuggorible mission for KB ever; the leviathan tunnels, packed full of tornadoes.
Its even worse than escorting the fragile hostages in the RWZ arcs. Because at least when they die, the suffering is over. This just takes, and takes, and takes... -
Honestly, I think they should move Vahzilok to start spawning at...hmm...15? Or something? Because damn me do they make you SUFFER as a level 1-10. Toxic damage? Massive stacking -recharge? Bosses with more nasty powers than the Skulls and Hellions combined? Vahzilok dont deserve to be a low game group, they should be mid to high level, IMO.
And I agree with the Warrior point. Stop making them get beaten up by the Freaks in Talos and looking like UTTER wusses. Its pathetic, really. If the Cimerorans can do it WITHOUT the magic bracers, why cant the Warriors do it with? -

You're asking to turn a Tank into a Brute or a Scrapper into a Stalker or a Controller into a Dominator, effectively.
Just roll the native AT to that side in that case, this option brings nothing to the table. -

Quote:Hmn, that I don't see working. Reason being, a thug thats a challenge for a level one Hero wouldnt (shouldnt, depending on what sorta character you are after) be a challenge at level fifty.

I would still like to see regular gang members though, Blood Brothers just at level 50 instead of all demon packed fire lords. -
It won't kill you if you don't have it. But it's a nice little bonus/slot mule/whatever you want from it if you do.
Personally, I do, because I like having whatever small edge I can get

Your lucky, CB. My widescreen makes it so that the 9 in Alphas blasts section ends up still displaying 9 chunks... but ending up in the 7 section. Which is why I picked up on the error in the first place.
Oddly enough, it actually worked fine when I first used the thing...but then it borked later on, for reasons unknown *shrug* -
I've managed it on SH102 haven't I? =P

/Signed I've always wanted the lower levels to be 'fleshed out' a bit, especially things like the Petrovich brothers. I mean, two bog-standard Bone Daddies? The Skulls are meant to be pretty damn freaky; I mean, they wear the skullsof thei first victim as masks for pete sake (another reason I wish they'd update their models, cos it doesnt look anything like bone...)
-
Personally, I would love to have the 'monstrous' heads with more options and, y'know, the ability to put other parts on them? Glasses, bionic eyes, sat-comms, etc.
And yes, definitely there for the tails. Some non 'Grinning knife-rack' Dragon heads. Heroic dragon faces, y'know? -
Quote:Right. I obviously missed that AT that has power armour and can fire gatling guns from its arms. Oh, and that laser canon over the shoulder. Durr, ain't I daft?Originally Posted by Scarlet Shocker
No.
There's enough ATs out there... and if you get PPD cossie code then you can create your own.
There's no need for the Devs to make a special one. Roll your own instead. -

It is kind of a broad idea. redheads and people who taste the extra flavor in broccoli are mutants,
Wrong; we need less monstrously fugly parts and more actual anthropomorphic animal faces, ones that you can actually use on a Hero without having to look like Fangface.Quote:In this case it really seems to be coming down to giving stuff to characters who have a more monsterous theme, something that players like myself have been asking for for a while. If it has fish fins and fox tails, i will be really happy. but really the packs are all about single takes on broad themes, not all natural heroes are practitioners of asian martial arts, but the natural pack focused on that(to my distinct pleasure), so really it is as much an attempt to make a focused fix of a thematic hole as anything. and we need some new monster parts. -
The power-level bargraph built into the new Charbox doesnt display right on IE. Which is annoying but, meh...I can live with it.

Alright, in that case, my bad. Last night was one of those nights where someone had cut my fuse off a bit shorter than normal. And I've never been any good at reading into sublter meanings. So..if you want to get me a message, bring a sledgehammer

I just resent being painted as the bad guy. Im sorry, im a fast poster. I enjoy writing, I enjoy posting... Im happy to wait for people, but I cant do that if I dont know people need some more time to get their posts in.

Sorry, im not psychic. If no one tells me im posting too often, I cant know.

You just described my Bots/Traps MM.
And yeah, Claws, your really not avoiding the fact that your treating all that as if the AT would be given blaster attack numbers and tanker defence numbers.
Of COURSE that would overpowered. Theres absolutely no avoiding that fact.
It's like trying to argue with a brick wall... -
Waiting before posting again to let others catch up/post/act etc.

"Providing a valuable escape route so that the panicked civilians, can escape the scene without trampling each other. And while removing the source of chaos is indeed a good thing, unless you can do it without anyone getting injured it's a moot idea."

Just because YOU don't see a reason not to do something doesn't mean that reason does not exist. Especially if it's a reason not to do something you want done, of course you're going to be blind to that.
Balance and non-bugginess is something I always take into consideration when thinking about ideas, wether they are my suggestion or not. If its a really damn silly suggestion usually a facepalm and a 'No, this wont work. End of.' will suffice.
Here though is pretty much the one missing 'concept gap' of City of Heroes.
Yes, porting over stone armour would be broken. Response? Dont GIVE them it. Stalkers and Scrappers dont get it already, so leave it as a Tank and Brute set.
Regen might cause problems? Simple answer, leave it out. Yes, that limits a few concepts, but then again Brutes dont get regen either. They DO get Willpower, which is a fair stand in for it.
No one (in their right mind) who has asked for a Ranged-Assault/Armour AT has EVER suggested putting Blaster level damage in the primary. Thats silly. Corruptor level, maybe, or more likely EAT, possibly Defender. Or heck, one of the melee ATs; whatever it takes to balance the damage.
The exact same goes for defence numbers; whatever modifier scale make it balanced. Heck, im sure the Devs could even, shock horror, make a new scale for a new AT, to help make it balanced.
The concept is sound. Possible powersets are already there. It just needs numbers that can balance it out. And that is by no means impossible. -
I Despise hunts. I really, really do. Especially the one Operative Renault gives you to 'Hunt Longbow in 'Nerva'.' He FAILS to mention that what he actaully means is 'IN AGINCOURT'. Which are, what, 2-3 levels Higher than you, even if your at max SF level? Piece of -
It shouldnt matter what zone you are in; Hunt X number of Y, wherever they are. That might make them less of a pointless time sink (Plot progression shouldnt come at the price of a mission ofboredom) -
I can just imagine the ammount of dross, like Chainsaw melee, Pistol melee, and stuff like that, they would get swamped with.
I know I *like* the idea myself. I also know that it would be a nightmare to work. Not work with anything, just work. At all.
The mental image is not pretty.

Eiko is correct, and reffering to the menus you get when you right click on any of the windows/tabs. When using the mouse to turn the facing camera (Q and E tend to be either too slow or go too far/too little) it is fairly frequent that is has a little hissy fit and brings up the tabdropdown menu and, when moving, this tends to result in something being deleted. Which is really annoying. T, C and N and the other hotkeys work fine, and dont get in the way.
