  1. People still discussing Fitness? Old topic is old.

    Let's discuss Apex, and why he looks absolutely horrible in game.

    Alright, that's awesome. Lets see that done on some of the ridiculous stairways CoH offers, where each step is spaced out pretty far from each other.

    A Dark pack

    We've already got plenty of gothic dark emo crap.
  4. Make an Assault Rifle/Deivces blaster.

    Pick the sniper rifle as your weapon.

    Only use the Snipe power and Cloaking Device.

    Bam, there's your Sniper.
  5. Sooo basically you're asking them to spend tons of time and programming from here on out to list every possible route that could be thought of to take on these missions. Right, okay, let's play that game.


    I want the devs to code choices from here on out that my character slapped their contact in the face, and that'll lead to it's own branch of missions.

    I want them to make a choice for me to stub my toe, trip, and fall flat on my face during the climactic final battle of each arc, causing the final boss to laugh hysterically and leave, creating a new ending as opposed to the one where we would have fought.

    I'd also want a choice that I could just say "Eff you!" to the Freedom Phalanx and all of their TFs and just go off on my own and start my own TF, because my character doesn't like the Freedom Phalanx and would think of themselves as better. This means the devs need to find a spot, put my character there, and design an arc of missions.



    This is all, of course, with your logic that we should have a million and one choices with each crossroads.
  6. Why does Apex look so terrible in game? I thought he looked perfectly fine in the comic. Now, he looks like some blind guy threw random cans of paint at him and sent him on his way. >.<
  7. If you don't step in they'd kill each other. If you knock Cleo out and drag her to jail, the PPD'd kill her, or Marauder would unleash everything he has and go on a killing spree. If you don't kill Cleo and knock Washington out, the PPD will be all over you in a serious attempt to kill you, while Cleo'd have to go into hiding or else she'd get killed. In the end, death will happen, it's inevitable.

    Is it bad story telling? No. Not at all. Preatoria's all about making hard choices because it's a different dimension with so many different shades of morality. Different set of rules to define what's good and evil. So many people complain about wanting to be a hero but don't realize that in this dimension, heroes aren't the same as they are in Primal Earth. Sometimes they do have to use lethal force to ensure the safety of everyone around them.

    I mean, why mess with an established look? The full Vanguard suit looks bad on him...
    This. The vanguard suit and color combo just looks absolutely terrible. It's embarrassingly bad.

    I17 was actually incredibly lackluster. The only reason someone should mention the sheer size of it would be when discussing the amount of bugs it brought out.
  10. Soo, what I'm getting from this is Apex looks terrible, especially compared to how he looks in the comic, Jay's a weenie, Fitness will be made incredibly awesome, 20 comes before 19, and everything else is a bunch of "maybe"s, but are at least being looked into. Not too bad.

    God PLEASE dont let it be another zone revamp. I mean, i welcome new content and such, but do I really need to roll more alts so i can experience this stuff?

    Come on... give my main something else to do besides run the level 50 TF's.

    I get this game was built and intended for teaming and making alts... but look, its time to move away from this mentality. Your customers are here and arent leaving. Give them content to do for their level 50 toons, please!

    If you're trying to give new customers something to do, well you just gave them GR and not to mention on all the legacy level 5-30 content.

    /end rant
    If they revamped a zone, you could very easily run the arcs on your 50 via Ouroboros. Just sayin'.
  12. I went to the theaters with a crapton of friends, so I did my part to support it. Sad to see it bombed on sales, though. I absolutely loved watching it.

    Ninja Run combo

    Ninja Run + Sprint + Hurdle + Swift = pretty damn awesome mobility and speed. It also saves on slots and powers, as Ninja Run and Sprint are inherit, and most people typically take Hurdle or Swift on their way to Stamina. I just took both because I had an extra power slot, though, but I love it.
  14. It's so obvious.


    We're getting an Egyptian Super Booster pack. That's the only reason they'd post a pic featuring Horus.
  15. Vigilantes come in two different flavors.


    You get the softer vigilantes that will step outside of the law when necessary and do what it takes to stop a villain, but won't go so totally insane as to be borderline villainous. These characters have heroic intentions but realize that working within the law isn't the best route most of the time.

    Then you get the more hardcore vigilantes, aka Punisher. These vigilantes go totally bat **** insane and will absolutely murder and destroy anything bearing resemblance to evil. They're entirely dedicated to getting rid of criminals and probably don't even know what a law is, let alone consider operating within it.

    I feel these missions cater to both types of vigilantes at times, recognizing that just because you're a vigilante doesn't mean you're as nuts as the Punisher.



    Also, rogues are in it for themselves. While villains go all out in the name of evil, world domination, making the hero's day terrible, etc. Rogues are in it for themselves, seeking to churn a profit and looking out for number one. They're more motivated by greed than by being evil for evil's sake.

    The Party Pack

    I've said this elsewhere, but I'll say it again here.

    It feels dirty that the devs give us absolutely horrible dance emotes for years, never showing any interest in making at least something that people actually do while dancing, then decide "Oh hey, want to upgrade from those awful dance emotes? Especially dance6? And ya know those things you've been asking for for years? We're gonna make you pay extra for it."

    Just feels wrong.

    d
    Really? Reaaally? This actually genuinely upsets me, only because we get perhaps the worst dance emotes I've ever seen in a game, dance moves no one would ever do ever, and the devs give us much better ones for a price. That just feels really dirty.

    "Here ya go, you get this craptacular ****. You want to upgrade to something that isn't ****? Gotta buy it extra."

    My own wish, though it will never come to pass, is for a high-resolution pack to fix all the ugly-*** low resolution faces, costume parts, and weapons.
    No. Last time they did that, we got the new Gladiator shoulder piece, and quite a few people not only disliked the new piece due to it severely clipping on itself, but also very much disliked being forced to replace said piece on their characters that used the costume part.

    Never replace. Ever. Just expand. I'm still pissed we had reflective textures forced on us for certain costume parts.


    And am I the only one a little miffed about the fact that everything costume-related has become boosters or expansion? I could never afford the boosters, only being able to swing one, and I feel like I'm incredibly missing out here. Mind you, I don't need any of the pieces on my characters, but the point stands that it doesn't feel like they're tossing out as many costume parts, emotes, etc. for free any more. Kind of really bugs me.

    *cough* Not everyone's crazy. Just, I'd say, maybe two-thirds the Virtue population, give or take a few?
