Hmm, food for thought. Thanks anyway guys =]

Steel, why are you not writing more often? This stuff is fantastic. I was trying to think of a few puns to put in here, but I can't even begin to compete

From the realtive shadows of one of the halls pillars, Wolf glared at the stage and the apparently unexpected Shocktrooper mob.
Maybe they were just fans who wanted to throw a surprise song and dance routine. Maybe they were just slightly over-eager, and had got too much into character.
And maybe Hro'Dtohz would sit down for tea and cookies with Lady Grey this Sunday...As likely as hell freezing over. Speaking of freezing...
Wolf flexed his right arm, the large gauntlet humming faintly into life as a coating of frost covered it. His rifle, bereft of ammo, was still slung over his back. But his power armour was still alive and kicking and, if push came to shove, that was just what he was gonna do. -
Maybe there doesn't need to be giant statues. Yeah, a thousand+ giant, giant statues would be oh so daft.
But an archive of City Heroes, maybe? Or, even better; in Founders Falls, a lot of the bridges and suchnot have angel statues on them. Simply replace them with Hero statues? The 'Heroes Bridge' and suchnot. -
If only more suggestion threads were like this
I...Yeah, I really like it. The 'mez bubbles' would be a godsend for my defender.
Great, great stuff. /Signed -
I take it no ones tried it, then..?

Solo is impossible, but I wonder what the minimum number of people to do a mothership raid is...
There was no one else on the ship. Just Rikti and two very, very addicted gamers

I've been toying with the idea of trying to re-work my Blaster as close to 'DP/SR' as I could, and here's what I got so far. Any hints people have, or glaring errors that can be pointed out would be majorly appreciated =]

Quote:Ok, re-write that as 'RP/Experimental' builds, then.Originally Posted by Laevateinn
Come play with me, read my bios and look at my costumes. My global is @Laevateinn and I'm on Virtue server. My various concept builds can solo AVs, solo Pylons, solo Vanguard Sword at +4/x8, farm and ghost missions. None of this second build stuff. The entire functional build/"concept" build idea is based on the false dichotomy that reducing performance magically improves your concept.
I think the arguement is less about the build and wether the player is actually being a help to the team or a hinderance. A question which is much more fair, imo
And you come play Union EU side I can't do any of that stuff, but I'm happy with my Bots/traps namesake steamrollering x5 missions without issues.

Quote:Sometimes you get icecream.Originally Posted by Ad Astra
I think that they would like to do this - it's requested so often.
But even so, without a whole lot of animations work - the sword or axe or whatever would still be in the scabbard. Currently, that's the way it works with Infernal (never seen Valkyrie in action, but I assume it's the same).
Someone mentioned upthread that they thought that looked silly in CO.
If people would be OK with the weapon remaining in its scabbard even while being used, then it's just a matter of reworking the models to have a better back attachment slot.
But if they want the weapon to actually be drawn from the scabbard and the scabbard to be empty while the weapon is in use - then I would have to say that there are a whole lot more things I would rather BaBs & his minions work on instead.
Turning around and saying you wanted three scoops and chocolate sauce as well is kinda...well
And yeah, thats how they work atm for Infernal and Valk. And the Tsoo and suchnot. If we could get even that, it'd be cool. -
People do realise that Valkyrie and Infernal already do this? And they are both NOT basic male models. I know they are NPC rigs, and thus work slightly differently to our own. Needless to say, I think that if the Devs can get it to work and look right, they will add it in. They're very good like that.

Quote:Aha...Ahahahahahahahaaaa..Originally Posted by BloodFairy
Dual guns that "borrow" gun kata animations yet the purpose to shoot in those ways, is to avoid other trajectories blah blah like it says on gun fu or the equilibrium site, yet the blaster is weak as hell. Those guns should have been mixed with melee pistol attacks and made scrapper, brute and I guess tank. So we could at least stand up to things and pretend we dodged it, without getting 2 shotted each spawn. If not, take it out of the game, do it right and put it back in on the right classes. It has no business in there if it's only half done, fast design. Added with no understanding of what it even should be like or is about.
Oh dear. This can really be summed up in one word;

[Supergroup]Outcast Initiate: Dude, seriously, I think we've been made...
[Supergroup]Outcast Crusher: Why?
[Supergroup]Outcast Initiate: Frostfire just got taken down. AGAIN!
[Supergroup]Outcast Crusher: Daaamn...But who? I mean, it'd need someone to talk to capes, y'know, be in one spot a lot of the time, and be semi-unpopular for not having particularly good powers...
[Supergroup]Flux: ... How about Larry? I mean, you know what he's like with his little 'patch'...
[Supergroup]Outcast Match: Mwehehehe, burny things! Buuuurny!
[Supergroup]Outcast Crusher: Dudes got a point...
[Supergroup]Outcast Initiate: Yeah, y'know, I never did think of Larry as a team player...

They had some interesting power choices. And the fog in Steel was pretty cool looking.
1) Animation for turning.
2) Shadow when flying. Dynamic shadow, for that matter.
3) Take off animation.
Hmmm.
Still. Good to see the 5th have been around since day one

T'be fair, Im on the side of the OP, here.
And, for people going 'whaa, ITF easy, stfu', well, yeah. It's *usually* easy...which makes it all the worse when things go backside up because someone you are relying on can't or wont pull their weight.
Concept builds are fine. But we have dual builds now. Having a concept/RP build and then a functional build would be, while not mandatory, would be expected/polite/nice. -
Quote:Off-topic. But still true.Originally Posted by Moly
It would be nice if there was a model that looked something like a rocket launcher for those who take the Munitions Mastery pool and LRM and who are not AR. When I leveled my DP to 50 on the test server, she would switch to a rifle to fire the rocket, which was kind of odd.
Truly wish we got the Council/5th Rocket launcher model for LRM, because the frankenrifle looks horrible, frankly. -
Useful to know.
I personally hate those things. Anything that spews out a full mob of heavy hitters is NOT nice. -
Quote:And the reverse is true when unpleasant changes happen to that character. If theres a change that makes that character no longer feel like the character I got to 50, then I'd love to be able to opt for something that I DO find fun.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Well, it's your call, really, but again, this is not something I'd use even if it were permitted to me. Maybe you spend most of your time playing over your 50s, I don't know, but to me part of the fun is seeing the set evolve with new powers and new slots.
I know that the EM changes were made for balance. But they still feel, for me anyhow, like they gutted the set for Tanks. Mediocre AoE damage, Mediocre ST damage that actually hits before someones killed the target anyway.
Possibly because nearly every other tanker secondary outperforms it? At least without some mass IO investment. (Again, this is purely based on opinion and own observations)Quote:Originally Posted by hedgehog_NA
You rarely see EM tanks anymore. I wonder why that is??

Pure Genius

I'd prefer animations that looked like...y'know..an assault rifle?
Seriously, NO ONE fires a rifle like that. EVER. Flamethrower, yes, maybe. Because it really doesnt matter.
Rifle itself and the grenade launcher you need to aim. I love the animation for Sniper Rifle, due to it actually looking like an assault rifle when it's fired.
More animations where the rifle is brought up to the shoulder and fired would be fantastic. -

Quote:In that case I'd volunteer to either sit at the back and provide mass firepower, or charge in first and soak up all that lovely, 5% to hit alpha. But yeah, I realise that badly run MMs can be a nightmare.Originally Posted by Carnifax
Oh I know how effective they are. I just don't like how bleeding massive and noisy they are. One of the most common reasons people give for not letting MMs on a team is that they can be a nightmare in tight maps and Bots are probably the worst offenders since they're both big and ranged (so they'll just stand in one spot firing). Can be a pain to get past.
Removing the collision detection between all pets and players would be a great move IMO. -
Sounds like someone who deserved to be kicked, t'be honest. I understand getting irate on a hard TF (I was going nuts on my first and only LRSF where it seemed Numina had gone buff happy while we all hospitalled. The last mission was then impossible.)
Don't worry about it.
