It sucks. It sounds like they are adding new hero content but not an equal amount of villain content, unless SM is being revamped with the Dark Mirror enemy too.
It's more 'throwing out the old sh*t that Jack Emmert left here, and finally fixing a horrible excuse for a TF.
There is a reason I only do ITF and LGTF Blueside. Because the rest of the TF's are made of phail. -
On the flip side, Martial arts isnt all about kicking either.
'Martial Arts' is a ludicrously wide umbrella term, given that things like, say, Fencing are technically Martial arts. Martial arts is fencing, boxing, kick boxing, karate, judo, and many more. Anything that involved physical, martial strength/finesse/speed etc etc.
I'd be all for more punches that actaully look functional. The ones in MA at the moment are a tad meh, in my opinion. -
Quote:ALL the Blueside TFs are pretty horrible, frankly. A plethora of Hunt missions and Kill alls, while hauling you ALL over the City. Not cool. Re-vamps = God send. Or in this case = Witch sendOriginally Posted by Sardan
Gotta agree with Techbot. The Posi TF is the first one; it's a horrible introduction to TFs for new players, and especially deserving of a revamp. Here's hoping the Shadow Shard TFs get the same treatment!
Both are welcome.

I can't wait to educate a whole plethora of MM noobs in a couple weeks.... Lrn2macro, you have more than 3 buttons to command your pets. There is an advanced pet menu. Buff your teammates, then your pets! GAH
Macro's are for those that need them

Are you sure he's not talking about Depth-of-Field (IE "The in game equivelant to Satan's freaking backside")
Seriously. 'Depth of Field' effect is an abomination. I was so glad I found the 'off' button.
The 'distance fog' is bad enough, given how short that distance actually is, and how unrealistic it is. -
I'm pretty sure that the prestige/inf penalty was getting dropped in either I17 or sometime damn soon?

Let me be real with you. I have no interest in DP/DemonSummoning. I am really hoping that we get more than that. I play Tankers/Brutes Controllers/Stalkers. Which they are not doing anything with. So, when my wife made this post it was based off of what I was saying to her. Understand?
I just really wouldn't get my hopes up too high, given that there is a lot of other stuff in GR that kinda has to be there. If we get even more goodness with GR, thats a huge bonus. If we dont, well, we cant wail and gnash our teeth over something that was never promised in the first place. -
*too many. Sorry, I'm a grammar nazi.
And if it's that specific and that replicatable, /bug it. Sure it might not get seen to 'right this second', but it's like the graphical 'bugs' I found in Snake caves, where it looked like there were meant to be smoothing effects on a lot of rocks and there clearly werent (they were nearly square). I brought it up here, and Arbiter Kim PM'd asking me for more screenshots and details.
The Devs are just as keen as us to see every bug in game hunted down and terminated with extreme prejudice. Its just the fact they have other stuff to do, and deadlines and other things. -
*Looks at the thread*
Hmm...
*Calculates possible Explosion factor with any and all new news, on a scale of 1 to 10*

It all becomes a bit moot when you factor in a Dimension Destroyer like Rularuu
Hmm. I would say...Ukon'Grai is pretty damn tough. The Kronos Titan can be put down by a single team (Using the SF version as a base profile) whereas Ukon tends to be a matter of everyone focussing fire on him. Lusca comes into that group, so, disqualifying Rularuu for being that hax
My votes;
1 - Hamidon
2 - Crystal Titan (Untyped damage is NOT nice)
3 - Lusca
Runner up - Ukon' Grai -
Quote:That sounds like a combination of rig and net connection. Net connection plays quite a large part in it; I'm on Universiry internet of a not-so-good quality, and I know I get more lag spikes in general then I did back home. That said, they are rather rare, given my rig is packing a decent GFX card and some good crunch power.Originally Posted by Spazztastics
Now I'm playing a 6 year old game on new hardware that run SF4, LoL and WoW without any problem and in CoX which again is a 6 year old game I have conn lag issues during big maps and in an almost empty Pocket D!? Explain!
Edit: missions didn't lag today *yay!* a Pocket D populated by 5 player characters still lags though... It might have something to do with the light effects or it might have something to do with the npc characters... I don't know yet..
So is it that strange that I am worried of the lag that may come with Going Rogue..?
I know I sure don't lag in Pocket D, put it that way. -

I get that PvP isn't really wanted here... but those with this view confuse me... what experiences have you had that make you think it would be THAT bad? I played WoW and Aion and never once had any of the experiences described when people whine about getting ganked or griefing. I'm sure it happens but I think it's being over exaggerated here.
All the worst bits of that, and then some. And then add that into City Of. The reason this game has such a great community is because it DIDNT have that sorta thing at the start. It was very much a team based game, and still is. It doesnt stop you from soloing, but then again your still on the 'same side' as the rest of the people. Theres no competition, not openly anyway, except for things like Mo runs and strong builds and stuff.
PvP tends to bring out the worst side in people for two reasons; competition and adrenaline. I tend to get incredibly worked up in PvP, and I know others who are the same. Its the nature of the beast. Introduce that in a more widespread manner, and its goodbye world peace and helloooo anarchy. -

I have some vague recollection of someone talking about extraneous polygons in terrain or buildings or some such. It sounded like something had vertices that either didn't form polys, formed backfacing polys, or otherwise added computational load without visible benefit. These were cleaned up in GV and performance improved some. However, I have no idea where that was from, or if it was even a dev claiming it.
Animation degree ftw -

just a few ads that need an update and ready to go on TV! why cant these be advertised sure they need a little updating but im sure if these ads had a lil space like the warcraft adverts with the 14 day free trial advertised on them a mass amount of people would jump on the CoH/V band waggon!
im ncsoft and paragon studios wont get of there arses and do anything to help the eu servers out untill were forced to leave our old accounts behind and join up to the US servers by ourselves looing all our beloved toons and vet rewards! IM NO HAVIN IT SERVER MERGE OR SOMTHING!!!!!
As for the Server rant bit; Server LIST merge isnt the same as an actual Server merge. List merge just means that all the servers are on one choice list, not stuck being EU/US. Server merge = Bad. List merge = probably good. -
Any idiot that hits once and runs away is unto Stalkers what a 'he4lorz' is to Empath Defenders. *grumbles*
My Claws/Ninja Stalker is pretty damn stabby. Ninjitsu has some nifty little control tricks in it, a nice heal, and more than enough defence to see me get by. And this is at level 38, not IO'd. If it's alive longer than a couple of minutes, it means I'm slowly wailing down on an EB or something. And by slowly I mean by this guys normal average
Just dont talk to me about Ballista's, that's all... -
Ok, I'll bite;
What the heck does 'QQ' mean? -

I was staying off the servers as a whole, but I do agree to the list merge. That means you only need one game code, you dont have people getting stuck with buying the wrong code or add-on and not being able to apply it...all that jazz.
But the websites for definite. I was miffed finding the EU one was only half baked.
