  1. Free fitness pool should be interesting; especially to builds like /WP, /Regen and VEATs. I don't foresee any nerfing just because of the trade-off in slotting (Fitness Pool powers vs. the 1-4 powers chosen in their stead)

    PRAETORIA

    Tasks
    • Fixed a bug with all contacts introduced through Calvin Scott and Provost Marchand where players would have to click on the contact twice before they would give out missions. This affects the following contacts:
      • Robert Flores
      • Jessica Flores
      • Aaron Walker
      • Ricochet
      • Hatchet
      • Crow
      • Interrogator Washington
      • Interrogator Kang
      • IVy
      • Deputy Assistant of Info.
      • Mr. G
      • Dr. Hetzfeld
    This was happening, infrequently, with the Tip Missions as well.
  3. Fairly accurate (give or take) and very funny. Some of the 'complaints' he made have been stated here numerous times and his take on it gives a good indicator on how word-of-mouth will be when newcomers are discussing CoX with their friends.
  4. Thanks bud, it seems to be a ton of work that goes into this (and all w/o pay); so thanks a thousand times over for your time and efforts.
  5. Early Release? *wink wink* *nudge nudge*


    [Oh yeah, giggity giggity]
  6. Being able to assign any /emote (or many emotes) to self buff/team buff powers (lol, /em teabag for GodMode activations)

    For powers that already have multiple animations, an option to have it randomly alternate between BOTH would be pretty sweet. Like the way a Shields character's brawl will either be a shield bash or a kick every other time. On some characters who wind up with very few real attacks (looking at my Super Strength tanker here), it'd help your options feel a lot more diverse if you were mixing up what it looks like you're doing. The only way to do this right now is save different animation setups on identical costumes and switch slots every 30 seconds or so.

    This would be a nice twist; instead of getting stuck using an attack chain with X set animations (with change only available at the Tailor), you would get an attack chain with exponentially more animation combinations.

    I would advise that it be restricted to like animation sets (randomizing between weaponized and non-weaponized animation sets, for example, wold probably come off as tacky).


    [Bullet Time effect for powers that use dodging animations or ripple-shift effects]
  8. Alternate animations for MM pet summons

    Origin themed power animations
  9. Powers that come out of the face (eyes/mouth) as an alternate to coming out of the hands and vice versa.

    Weaponized versions of powers that would normally animate out of the hands (Dark Guns, Electric Cannons, Ice Rifles, Sonic Blasters, etc) and vice versa.

    Insectoid swarm animation of all ranged powers.

    Custom colors for pool powers.

    Tantrum animation for Foot Stomp

    Porting many off the CC emotes to self buff powers

    Alternate Walk and Ninja Run animations

    More custom skins for non-weapon set weapons (ie. Fire/Ice Swords, etc)

    Ripple/Echo effect for Super Speed

    A different 'gather-then-shoot' animation for non-weapon snipes

    More 'Hong Kong cinema' animation sets for Katana, Ninja Blade, Ninjitsu, Martial Arts and Dual Blades (maybe even Claws and Battle Axe)

    Slasher flick animations for Battle Axe and other bladed weapon sets (and anything Stalker related)

    Colored bullets (tracer rounds)?

    So, it might be a good idea to try to make it 3 active by going to Justice.
    Thanks.

    (Is it safe to assume that most of the activity happens at the Blue spectrum of each server?)
  12. What are the top 4 servers for active population? Freedom, Virtue, _________ and... ?

The only things needed to be eligible for the computer is to a) be at least 18, b) live in the lower 48 States somewhere, c) have a ZAM account, and d) submit any kind of hand-drawn picture of one of your characters (no screenies). There's no mention of a panel of judges looking at your artwork, or anything.
    *yay*

    Promo shot for the new CoX line of deodorant.
  16. My last bit of input for this thread.

    There have been some great ideas about what to add to (and do with) existing buildings and landscaping. If there are some of ideas that may fall short of the scope of world map modifications, hopefully, they will find their way into the game as instance mission landscapes and interior maps.

    In Port Oakes, there's this NPC guy fishing off the docks; Canada Joe. He has a 'green name' just like a Contact would but when you click him, he does nothing...

    ...the Propel thing could be a possibility.

    Other players would still need to access them; so an across the board cloak would probably be unfeasible... they'll probably 'Canada Joe' dead Contacts.

    Interesting that contacts can die.
    I don't think they will actually die; probably just end up being 'grayed out' to players who create that path...

    CoX currently has a Day and Gray cycle for the most part... nothing as detailed/contrasted as the vid seems to be; awesome sunrise BTW (also currently not in PC or RI) And I don't remember seeing any building lighting during the Gray shift (at least not on redside).

    If there is building lighting (as in internal building lights streaming out the windows like in the vid); I haven't seen it (primarily playing redside).
  21. The video was great and strengthens the case for making over Paragon City and the Rogue Isles; even if it is only a zone at a time.


    I'm really hoping that the vids depiction of a day/night cycle (with corresponding building/street lighting) is actual game-play stuff (not just cut scene candy) and that it also finds its way into PC and RI.

    The zones (especially Nova Praetoria) were awesome; good job (and will now be expecting Praetorian level base upgrades).
