Quote:The devs have already shot it down, numerous times. They do not want the game to become City of Jetbikes.Originally Posted by Shadow_State
Untill a Dev comes in and says it isn't going to happen the idea hasn't been shot down for the simple reason that players don't actually get a say in what is developed, no matter how elegant there arguement might be.
Most of Memphis Bill's cut and paste response are out of date or are simply design decisions.
Points 1, 2, 3 and 6 are all technicly one point which would require the devs to code a new system that governs vehicle movement. AE has shown us that they aren't adverse to new systems if the effort is warrented, and only the devs can tell us if it is.
With power customization coming, theres no reason to think point 5 would be anything greater the just creating the art assets.
For point 4, the devs would just have to decide if they wanted full power use, limited power use or no power use, and could use either kheld powers or Only Effecting Self as a basis to get which ever result they choose.
All the information in the quoted post is still valid to whatever extent that it needs to be: this is a bad idea and will not be used in this game.
We do not need vehicles. We can run and jump and fly and teleport. We don't need something that would by its very nature be slower and visually clunkier.
The ONLY change I'd ask for in the game? Allow us to see inside the train cars.
*edit*
AE is not a new engine. It's a new interface for something that the devs use. It has nothing new in it that wasn't already in use somehow before. -

I noticed that they have implemented this idea with a chiseled stone sign above the door. A great collaboration of the Black and Red problem solving team. Good post Black.
It was probably the quickest graphic change in the game I've ever seen.

Problem with Imageshack is that a number of forum-goers have had trouble when they're posting from work (... lol like they should be doing that but lets not go there) - imageshack is often blocked. Photobucket less so. I have never heard of the other sites.
A paid photobucket account is a marvelous thing.
Even a free account though, for hosting avatars and siggies, works perfectly well.

Quote:Some of the devs wish that too, but sadly that's just not an option anywhere that I know of.Originally Posted by MTS__
They did? I frequent the boards fairly often and check the announcements, but never saw anything like that...
Was kind of hoping that the new boards would support names less than 5 characters long so I could finally get rid of those extra underscores, but now it looks like I'm stuck with it. Bah.
I believe the "get your name while you can" was in one of the "we're moving to new forums" announcements - or perhaps, in the discussion after. But they did comment about it a couple times, I know that. -
Probably because people would rather not have something entirely unexpected happen every time they click?
I'd rather just choose, since we know ahead of time what they look like at all. -
Quote:What you want is /duel.Originally Posted by jd0113
Just a brief supplement to my original post for the nay sayers: Maybe i wasn't totally clear in how i presented this idea, if so i apologize. I just meant to GIVE THE OPTION of CONTROLLED pvp across all mid to high lvl zones for heroes and villains. NOT MAKE PVP REQUIRED. I even gave some ideas as to how to keep it comfortable for the poeple that dont want to pvp or dont like pvp. I know theres people that dont like pvp that much. Im one of them. But I also have to admit that if pvp is implemented properly it can be fun sometimes. I also suggested this because theirs just as many gamers that enjoy pvp, the fact of the matter is that this games player base is very small compared to alot of other mmo games. If OPTION of CONTROLLED PVP across all zones is added it would make the game more appealing to a broader base of players and hopefully help build up the player base. Once again, im not saying make pvp across all zones REQUIRED but make it an option atleast.
It's been addressed plentifully before now. It would not work in this game, period. Some of us like pvp just enough to play around every couple weeks or attend arena matches with friends, but you had better believe that most of the folks like me and those I would pvp with would utterly reject this /duel idea.
Just doesn't work. -

Actually before the game came out during testing you could do that. but then people made perfect characters and overpowered characters.
remember fun = challenge
There are compelling reasons behind the changes made in Alpha. There are all kinds of great reasons to keep this game this way.
You want mix and match and uber/gimp builds? Go play CO when it comes out. I don't want to play with TankMages and That Kid Who Took All The Travel Powers And No Attacks. -
We were given ample opportunity and time to change names. Bit too late now. We've been expecting a forum change for like... 2 years + now, so when they said "get on it" most of us did. Sorry.
-
Maybe if you came out of the stone age of COH and played the CURRENT game, you'd have more fun than trying to compare it to your glory days of fire tanks and pre-ed crap.
Seriously. Dude.
Get better equipment, make sure your internet connection is actually working *all the way from your computer to NC's servers* (there can be up to what, 16+ connections between you and them, any of which might be broken or slow), read up on the changes in the game and metagame before sticking your foot in your mouth.
Really.
And how about this: I have met the devs at several cons and meets. You want to call them lazy? Why not tell it to their faces, because I'm pretty sure they'd love to hear you. Maybe they'll explain how much work it is keeping this game flowing and updated. Or maybe you're just whining because your fire tanker doesn't herd whole zones any more? -
It clears all my cookies anyway, I'm using Firefox 3 (current), and have had no problems. The other Vbulletin boards I'm on also remove my stupid cookies and I don't like it. I would far rather it actually "remember me" when I click "remember me".

30 second lag between posts = hate.
I type FAST. This is a feature which plagues forums I habit elsewhere, and it is as annoying here as anywhere else.
We have to wait 30 seconds between costume changes. We've hardly ever (I can only think of once or twice) had an issue about posting floods here... Please oh please disable that "feature". -
Well now that he's said it on a more public venue:
That was what Posi had let slip in the Comic Con's panel. What the others were like O___O was he supposed to say that?
It's part of the Demon Summoning set, all I know.
But WHIIIIIPS. -

... Buh?
Which actual links? To Youtube or to my site? Because if the ones from my site aren't working I'm gonna have to hurt someone.
I can't recall - it might have been Ocho or another of the dev peoples asking if I'd looked over the other sets, it was so busy and I was so giddy lol. But yes, that's me narrating. -
No.
Why? Because pvp across the world would make a TON of people quit. myself included.
Open world PVP has been discussed to death around here. Look at the fact that most pvp zones are quite vacant - none of them are ever really booming (and I'll make exceptions for Freedom's and during events).
That's as opposed to all the folks actually playing PVE.
PVP is not popular in this game, and probably never will be.
Allowing 'duels' would only allow griefing - /duel me!
/no thanks
/duel me!
/... no thanks
/DUEL ME YOU NUB!
/ignore
No fun.
It'd be way more work than it'd be worth and it would only make about 10% of the population (loose guesstimation based on pvp forum and ingame observation) 'happier'. But it would seriously lose a huge number of people who do NOT play open-world pvp, that's why I *like* this game: I can choose where and when I pvp and with whom.
So... /unsigned. -
I definitely agree. And what IS up with that grey box behind it?

That's awesome. Yeah the smilies here leave a lot to be desired.
Perhaps they need to be transparented properly against each background, or at least made into a skin set. -

Cool, thanks man. Ive really always thought that spines was a pretty cool set, but I couldnt get past the banannas of death.
[/ QUOTE ]
And in those very words, the devs know our pain. "You don't have to have the bananas of doom any more".
Yeah thorns, metallic, and basic colorization, all for Spines. All, also, per-power and per-costume slot. So... customize away. -
So you're saying, "I have completely ignored all the great player-created stuff that was given to me free by the devs and want to complain that something I've no idea how hard it was to implement, isn't up to my exacting but extremely vague standards."
I get it.
You should just cancel your account and come back when Going Rogue comes out. If you're not even bothering to log in now? After 3 great issues in a row of stuff? You're not gonna care what else is in I16 even if it's paved in gold, I suspect.
Because it won't be 24 karat, I guess. -

Thats with color. I still havnt read (probably missed it then) about animation being customizable per slot aswell.
I, King of Devs and the internetz, command linkage!
[/ QUOTE ]
As I've shown in the threads with links to my videos, yes - everything is customizable per slot. Each costume slot can get new customization per power.
So you can have one costume with default animations and colors, the second with custom colors but the old animations, a third costume slot with different animations, and the other slot with a mix and match.
Everything will be mix and match. Every. Thing.

I downloaded one video... the one in the first post. Havnt fully watched it yet though. Was there more videos?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes. There are about 6 total videos including the panel. Check the "comic con panel" thread. Once you find my video, if it's in the "droppin-the-fork.com" area, just back up into the directory there, and you'll find the others. Feel free.
-
Yeah also remember, I didn't have the character rotated in those videos. We hardly ever see our own toons performing these actions from the front, at least not regularly.
Besides, "soon" we'll be able to try it out.
-
hehehe ! Well that's neat though anyway! I haven't been able to follow that thead what with being at the con, I didn't know how it turned out.
