And as has been said multiple times before, by Devs;
It can't be done. Period.
SCR for good measure. -
Do really really /want.
It always bugs me how the tank patrols in RWZ rumble blithely along the road, ignoring mass mobs and battles at all times. And never getting scrapped either. Yes, movement and scripting could be a bugger...but cool much? -
In all seriousness;
Statesman_NA got unbanned? Does that mean someone said Jacks name three times? Alright, fess up! -
-Fedexes.
-Tailor missions.
- Hunt missions, bar 'Kill 10' in the same zone, a la Hollows. That I can deal with.
-Really, really obnoxious missions like 'Escort General Grandad and Rikti 'Not an EB' around the map until they die' in RWZ (Resuce the General and the Diplomat from Serpent Drummer. They ALWAYS die, because you cant get them off the map...) -

Measuring your play time by loot is really sad.
The game is not stingy. You ARE greedy.
Does anyone still play the game to, ya know, play the game any more?
As for 'the game is stingy', really, cry me a river. I didn't get a really decent drop until very recently, which means around three years of play time with mediocre drops.
Then I happened to get two purples in one missiong. On a level 8 who was being SK'd.
It's called chance, and she's a fickle little b****. -

Just the leader, just like Hess and Katie.
I would support this over unlocking the LRSF.
Although I would probbly make a lot of money betting on their being storms of outrage if that happened

Quote:I dislike weapon unlocks when the unlocks are a chore to get (I'm looking at YOU, redside Nemesis rifle! ¬¬ ) Stuff like the Council weapons which you pretty much unlock by accident are much better.Originally Posted by Solicio
You've definitely sold me. Sounds really, really cool--I hope the devs read this and give it serious consideration. I really hope that if this is implemented, none (or very, very few) of the costume pieces associated with the set would be unlockable rather than available at level 1. Since you would literally be wearing your origin on your shoulder (or arm, etc with the shoulder unit), the more options you have, the greater the appeal to characters of all origins.
Suggestions for types of Weapon models (All colour tintable);
Tech Weapons - Polished, high tech
Mercenary Weapons - dented, repaired, heavily used
PPD - Inspired by the weapons used on PPD Hardsuits
Arcane - Stylised and ornate, powered by chunks of crystal
Steampunk - Nuff said, really.
Scavenger - Exposed cabling, missing plating, the odd twisted barrel. Slightly scrappy -
It'd be nice. Like the official belt, only without the nightstick and with another holster.
In the works? Mebbe. We have no way of knowing. -
What Carny said =P
-
To clear up the energy/fire arguement; whatever is balanced. I'd say energy being 80% with fire being 20%...maybe? To simulate the fact that, hey, you just got shot by a laser! Thats gonna really STING.
Although stuff like the PPD armour lasers (sort of what the set was modeled on, after I re-worked it from the suggestion made to the suggestion. Uhm....) dont do fire damage, nor do other sets in game atm, so...maybe just 100% energy. *shrug*
In response to Solicios customisation query, I would say make an arm and *maybe* a shoulder unit, one that works in a similar way to the Vanguard Shield projector, in that it is both a passive (idle stance) piece and an active one (combat stance and when the power is used). So, have standard techy guns; slightly more scrappy, merc-a-like guns; arcane, gem powered constructions; steampunk gatling/laser/flamer-things of doom and punkiness....etc
Really, if I ever got the chance to design a set, I'd want it to be usable by any origin, for as many cool concepts as people could think up. -
/Unsigned. And basically what Stever said
/thread -
This thread needs more

Quote:With the difference being that Hess and Katie are mid-range TFs, ones which aren't even Phalanx TFs.Originally Posted by Lemur Lad
They never removed the arc required to start Hess, or Katie Hannon. I don't see them making an exception on this one.
LRSF is THE big finisher of the game...and it requires you to kowtow and work through a long and in some cases (Im looking at YOU, Captain Fishface!) ardous arc.
It probably wouldn't have come up, but I was trying to throw together a fairly late LRSF run with as many VEATs as we could lay hands on, and SG/Channel friends. It hastily fell apart when we realised we needed the arc badge.
And yes, Devs do hate Villains. But LRSF is a Villain himself! So that means I can DOUBLE HATE him!
Grr!
/tongue in cheek at end, for those who are slow

It's that simple, really.
"Yay, you have to be a pawn of Arachnos and work through one of these long arcs to even open the last SF of the game!"
Uhm...sorry, but what? How about t'hell with you? The STF is not locked out...why on earth is the LRSF? Not worthy, huh; how about surviving to level 45 in the scummy Rogue Isles, thats quite a feat in and of itself, thanks.
Was really not amused by that... -
Quote:Never say 'It could never be worse' on the internet...Originally Posted by EvilRyu
Nothing could make the markets any worse than what they are so I dont think thats the issue. Lvl 50s not knowing how to play is going to happen anyways. That could happen even if a person teamed all the way to level 50. So unless that person learns from the other person its not going to matter. While I do agree the insta lvl 50s was sick there is so much more they should have done in this game than the AE. Its pointless to keep nerfing it at this point. Its never going to be as popular as it was when it first came out and all the servers had at least 2 dots.

Quote:Not to mention some of the graphics nearly obscures or blurrs the colour, and you have to try and remember the order.Originally Posted by flashrains
Even this isn't fully accurate, since the Damage Resistance and Defense are the exact same shade of light purple. It's especially bad when you get to SO territory, because the icon on them at that point is sometimes the same too, making them 100% visually identical for Natural and Mutation origins (Science, Magic, and Tech have the same color but different icons).
Tech and natural are the only two I've never had trouble with, partially because the names for naturals are also fairly clear. Science, though, is a nightmare. -
Quote:That I can see happening, and would be happy to see and buy =]Originally Posted by blackbird7
A new Booster pack with Arabian Fantasy in mind to include:
-snip-
New costume options to include a variety of turbans with plumes, head wraps, vales, sashes, vests and other attire sutable for the genre.
New sword costume options to include Scimitars, khopeshes, kilij, and saifs.
New emotes to include crystal ball reading, snake charm, belly dance, and whirling dervish dance. -
Oh so /Signed. I hate the limits on hats and hair. And having a hat with NO hair would be great. My stalker is meant to wear a full gas mask and an officers cap, but he has to have the damn hair on atm, which looks silly...*Sigh*

England is open, your welcome there! In fact I insist you go there, I'm sure there currently holding the 'Welcome GG' sign already at customs! I should also notify you that there is no country that exists above England, this is in fact a lie. Do not go up there, you'll uhm.. fall off the border. However I am sure if such a country would exist, it would be excellent to visit.
Yea.. that's it!

Quote:Thats because everywhere we go, the news, the media, the TV itself (I dont watch the doombox for a reason, y'know), even most public places...we get this storm of reminders of how inferior we have become.Originally Posted by Scarlet Shocker
We do. And one of the richest documented histories in the world. It's has a rich tapestry of beautiful countryside, exciting built environments and a rich and expansive culture.
The snag is most people who live here forget to see the good stuff.
Sorry, I am a tad bitter. People tend to become when its things they have no real power over. *shrug* -
Quote:Yeah, that'd be the markets even more Fu-bar than they already are, a bunch of level 50s not knowing how to play, and people put off from even touching the game because 'all people do there is farm'.Originally Posted by RoboBug
can you imagine how cool this game would be if they left farmers alone and worked on new features?
What they are fixing here is exploits. Farming, as a whole is kind of hard to stamp out, and I would say its not something that should really be wiped out. Some people do validly enjoy it, and I, and the Devs too it seems, dont mind that so much. Its when something is exploitable, such as 1-50 in a few hours, that they have to take action, and have been doing so.
The sooner that people understand that, the better.
Still, this thread doesnt dissapoint, it seems. -
Quote:^ This, frankly.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
The only thing I could seem the porting to us is veteran badges and maybe some "Legacy player" benefit. I doubt they'd let you bypass any of the new content by "pre-leveling" you.
Anyway, have you ever powerleveled a character to 50 and then tried to learn how to play/build it? It'd be like that, only with a potentially new combat/power system, a hundred times more complicated. If anything, pre-leveling would be a disadvantage.
I...think a CoH2, with the same kind of Dev team, would be awesome. But Im not giving anything past that, because at the moment its the hint of a dream, and possibly just a trademark placeholder. -

"General

What does this have to do with anything? -
Quote:Apparently, all that'd take is re-building that entire map and changing the mob spawning, all from scratch.Originally Posted by Hazygreys
I would love to one day load up CoH and have it update, click patch notes and see that they finally fixed the lag in the ITF. Sometimes the order of which the devs fix things is so bizarre.
Until a red name confirms/de-confirms that. *shrug*
Yes, I hate that mission and its attrocious lag too. No, theres nothing we can do about it. No, its not a game exploit, it's a bug. Yes, its a very annoying bug. Yes, there are multiple bugs still around. And yes, the Devs have to follow a timetable and structure, usually laid out by the Bosses, not them.
So, really, thats all there is to it. -
4. and 6. more than get my signed. There should be like what there is in AE for DO and SO buying, a drop down menu for 'damage', 'accuracy' etc. Would make it so much easier.
And the majority of blueside contacts are hella stingy with their numbers, which really does need fixing at some point.
