Can ya blame him when theres...hmm...X many pages?
Some of them in forum speak...although that probably doesn't stop him
-
Cool, thanks for the replies and advice guys. I'll need to get him up a few levels to get a bit more of a feel for him...gives me more time to plot

Although I can't really use this feature much... it is a great thing to have available a little longer. I have loved being able to rename some of my characters with it.
That image looks pretty silly with the villain background.
I didn't make the original (sadly) and I can't get the damn thing to work with a transparent background. It just comes up white, which look even worse.
So, at least 50% of people get it

Of course, I then /petitioned it, and then never touched the poor girl again.

This is another outstanding issue, caused solely by the devs unwillingness to merge the markets. Heroes can't give a villain a wakie in co-op zones, and vice versa.
Until GR releases, the only thing we can do is wait. Maybe they *will* merge the markets, and maybe they won't. Either way, they are in a better position to judge the potential for yay or nay than us. -
Who says the Devs dont listen to us?
Mind you...

Were something like this to be implemented, the issue would not be that you cannot participate, it would simply be you CHOOSE not to participate by not making the effort to meet the requirements to do so.
It is no different than someone complaining that the game is specifically designed that they cannot participate in a Lady Grey Task Force, when their only character is level 25, then refusing to spend the time leveling their character up to meet the minimum level requirement.
It's more like saying 'You can play...ONLY if you have X AT, Y powersets and Z IO specs.'
Grind moar phail plz? Some of us don't have the time or the ability to play all day (I used to, as well....thank you god-damn Uni internet...) that is required for grinding. And, in fact, some of us simply don't find it *fun*. New content should be as fun for as many people as possible, and not force a playstyle down your throat that you dont want to adhere to. Again, because it is not fun. -
Been thinking of re-rolling a character from Invul/EM to something else. Elec melee keeps catching my eye, and combining that with Shield looks like a recipe for awesome. Anyone got any advice on them or other combos?
I also rustled up a quick build...any glaring holes with it?

Quote:I like that a lot.Originally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
I've always suggested the introduction of an NPC on the shore of Lake Salamanca (or in a boat in the lake) who hands out a Camera temporary power.
Mechanically, the camera would instagib Sally, and Sally would be immune to any other form of damage.
In context, you'd be taking snapshots of the Lake Salamanca Monster to prove her existence, making you a "Believer".
- We know critters can be immune to all damage (100% resistance to all)
- We know powers can instagib a target (Snake-B-Gone temporary power)
- We have a camera emote already
Her death animation already has her diving back under the water. All that's really needed is the Camera temporary power and an NPC to give it to us, and buff Sally's resistance.
Either that, or make her a clicky.
But yeah, I've never approved of hitting the poor thing. She's kinda cute, in a giant sea serpent kinda way. I think its the big eyes. -
I'm glad I never got a trial account...
An unclosable window? Really?
Advice, though; if you can save money to get a new rig (or get someone to build one, like I did recently) then you should find the game a lotta fun. -

Why the obsession with the other game? There are tons of other other games out there that would also like to succeed at CoX's expense - why the obsession with that one other game? There is even another other game on the horizon that is very much like the first two - isn't it time to start obsessing about it now, since we are apparently doomed to be forever fretting over what the other game does?

Quote:Augh...no, no they really couldnt.Originally Posted by Shuriken_BladeX
I get what everyone is saying and what not. That's pretty much what I'm saying. Not a whole new powerset. I mean everyone has seen the dual pistol set used by the mms. I was just saying with that set a lot of the animations could be used in this one if it went dual wield. It's probably not possible but I'm just saying. Just put a smg or something in each hand and you pretty much have most of the powers in the assault rifle set.
Let's go over this, shall we?
MM pistols;
Single shot
Dual Wield
Empty clips
Thats three animations scaled for a pistol size weapon.
Assault Rifle;
Burst. Longer than any of the others
Slug. Single shot, more kick.
Buckshot
Beanbag
M30 grenade. That one right there would be a pain.
Flamethrower. Whole new animation needed.
Ignite. See above.
Full Auto. Another new animation.
If you stole the animations from the Thugs enforcers and their dual uzi's then maybe, *maybe* you could cut it down a bit.
Even then...SMGs? Firing grenades, shotguns and beanbags? Dont even get me started on the flamethrower. Trying to fudge ways around that with a Tommy gun is hard enough.... -
Quote:Myeah, fair point actually.Originally Posted by BrandX
Now I'm not saying it's going to happen. Or whether or not it's worth the devs time to make alternate animations just to have this.
BUT...that bolded part up there and then copied for even more emphasis...well, one, that's unwieldy as hell right there....in a game of super strong, flying, fire blasting super heroes, is not a good arguement against it.
Not counting movies, but in comics themselves, there has been use of dual wielding Assault Rifles.
At least the OP was suggesting it as an alternate animation, rather than a whole new powerset.
Even so. Simply from a work point of view, I can see BaBs taking one look at this and facepalming. -
Quote:...Originally Posted by Seldom
This actually kinda goes to an idea I had for the whole "signature" powers: You take a power, with its slotting, but able to take it into a sort of 'personalized' enhancing area. You then can enhance it with two types of earnable (But not from drops) enhancers that allow the power to do very new/different things. (The earning part would either be through tasks or by leveling.)
First type:
Effect Enhancements
These would be the plus side. They do NOT work with other enhancements. They add new effects, and only off of the base power. So, do you want you single target blast to explode in an AoE? Or your kick attack to burn?
Second type:
Counter enhancements
These counter the first value with something to counter the new effect. You could not put in place an effect without choosing your counter. You want your debuff to also deal damage. Cool. But it will have to recharge slower, use more endurance, or use a slower animation. Or maybe even hurt you!
The more powerful/novel the effect, the stronger the counters needed. Adding simple damage might need only a light increase in endurance use. But making your punch explode in flames would need a lot of counters. Note: not all are an even one-to one.
As you level up, you get more slots to add effects and counters to your chosen power.
Ideas for effects/counters:
effects:
Add damage
Add range (for ranged only)
Add boost effect- to self (+damage, +health,+speed, +defense, etc.)
Add cone/AoE
Add duration (for boosts)
Add status effect
Add new damage type
Reduce activation (select a faster animation from a list)
Counters:
Increase endurance use
Increase recharge time
Increase activation (select a slower animation from a list)
Self +Debuff (character gets weakened some way from using the power)
Self +damage (character is harmed by using the effect)
Self +defeat (character dies using power)
Reduced range (range only)
Anywise, just a thought.
'Global' slots, anyone?
Maybe this isn't such a pipe dream. Heh. Get your speculators on now
