Quote:Are you SERIOUSLY suggesting you need to slot Stamina before level 6? SERIOUSLY? TOs are so worthless that it doesn't matter where you put your slots before level 6.Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
(particularly, not knowing to slot Stamina)
The idea is sound - I wouldn't object to it being put in the game - but your suggestion of why is kind of ludicrous. -
Quote:I don't see why it would need to be stored on the server since it's a personal note, not a note that anyone else would see. The same way player notes are stored on your computer. In fact, when I saw the OP, storage on the server didn't even occur to me until reading your post.Originally Posted by Roderick
The devs recently said that the amount of data stored in a character file is surprisingly huge, so if this is supposed to be stored server-side, I don't think it would be a good idea.
However, if the information is stored client-side in a text file on your computer (like the file that re-orders your list), or is just the character description already saved in your character file, then sure, it sounds good.
I like it. I would probably use it for salvage lists.

I don't really care if the zone itself gets a makeover, as long as the Rogue Isles start having the occasional sunny day. Aren't they supposed to be in the Caribbean??? HELLO?

Quote:You said exactly what he said with more words. That's what a cooldown is. A forced delay between uses.Originally Posted by Von Krieger
Not quite. The context is that inspirations have a built in time frame of a rather small margin of time before you can use another one. In the heat of battle sometimes you've got several things you want to pop, but the time to pop 'em all won't be enough to guarantee survival. That's what context cooldown was mentioned in regards to the team and dual inspirations on the dev chat.

I wish Level 50 granted 6 slots instead of 3 (for free!!!!), but am adamantly against being able to PURCHASE the ability to make your character INSANELY UBER.

My boyfriend had this issue as well - also on Win7 SP1. The only fix was to bundle the whole Launcher from my computer and send it to him as a zip file. He unzipped it and ran the NCLauncher.exe from inside there (you'll have to manually create shortcuts on your desktop and/or start menu), and hasn't had a problem since.
I re-zipped my launcher and uploaded it just now (to prove it's legit, I put my name in the descrip ). Hopefully this works for you, too.

Those doors aren't restricted by alignment, though. That's probably why.

IIRC, Walk puts you into "Walk Mode." Which is similar to Shield Mode, Hide Mode, etc., and for which there would be necessary coding to allow other powers to activate. I can't imagine it being TERRIBLY much coding, unless their "Modes" are coded kind of hacked-in.........
................OH WAIT. They're coding a seven year old game, EVERYTHING has to be hacked-in. Thus any change to ANYTHING requires more coding and testing than anything written as a game is being developed. -

Quote:For the love of $deity, PLEASE!! I *hate* that place. There are *way* too many City fans to stuff into that tiny little bar.Originally Posted by blueruckus
Blah, I was looking forward to the panel this year. Per what Posi said, it sounds like they'll at least be on the floor this year unlike last year. Also, I hope they found a better venue for the Meet and Greet than the little hole in the ground they used last year.
However: don't do it the way (PAX East?) did it; all of the NCsoft games got stuck together into one big ballroom, and all City got was a tiny table in a tiny corner. Aion and Lineage/L2 got 80% of the ballroom. GW/GW2 got a corner that was a little bigger than City's. Don't do that. -
The only NCsoft panel I could find was GW2. Exceedingly disappointing, considering how much AWESOME SAUCE they could pack into it about FREEDOM, which will be releasing soon after. Dropping the ball, Paragon.

Quote:I'm pretty sure they're not getting rid of them entirely. I don't remember who said it, or where it was said, but a redname confirmed it. You'll be able to purchase what you want piecemeal from a certain booster, and you'll be able to purchase the whole booster at once (this part is speculation: and it will likely cost 800 PP to do that, aka $10, a penny more than they cost now).Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
They are actually getting rid of the boosters when Freedom launches. We will be able to pick and choose what we want and buy them with Paragon Points. Players will buy points that they can then spend on items in the store.

Quote:1. No one ever said anything about before tips exist, but there's a big popup that says "Tip Received!" or something like that, and there's a new tab in the contacts window. Hard to miss. Not sure how people can get to 50 without seeing those two...unless it's via AE, because tips don't drop in AE.Originally Posted by Gaia
Quite a few of us managed it years before they even existed.
Oh and Lemur if he was playing a corrupter it would be Kin/Fire not Fire/Kin
2. Corruptors are Damage/Support. Thus a Corruptor would be Fire/Kin.
DEFENDERS are Support/Damage. A DEFENDER would be Kin/Fire. -

You can, alternately, call billing directly M-F noon to 5PM Central (1-6PM Eastern).

Additionally, you can't because of various anti-fraud measures in place. I'd rather occasionally jump through hoops than have rampant fraud charges requiring higher sub prices, etc., to pay for all the fees NCsoft has to pay when fraudulent charges are reversed. -
The command is

This! After 7 years here, with all the Booster Packs, the temp powers, and Vet powers, I dread doing a respec on my main. The last one I did, all nine trays were filled to overflowing. And the primary and secondary powers were almost the last ones placed in the trays. I spent way more time putting things back where they belonged than I did actually doing the respec. And the worst part is, I messed up on a power pick, and will have to do it all again!
Then pull your powers down from the powers window to wherever you want them. After five years here, I don't have enough powers that I use often enough to merit more than 5 (maybe 6) power trays open. You don't have to have a spot for every temp power you've ever earned. Honest Injun!
THAT SAID!!! I *do* wish they would preserve icon placement for "chosen power exists both before and after respec", but there is an alternative to fumbling through completely full power trays. -
Wait more than 24 hours after your last attempt. Don't attempt anything during this time; it resets the delay window. If after those 24+ hours elapse you attempt again and still get an error, contact support. Billing-related support is available M-F only, and typically takes at least a day to get a real response back so in reality it's more like M-Th. You can, alternately, call billing directly M-F noon to 5PM Central (1-6PM Eastern).

My circle of friends does it often. Heck, Sunday I was running with my fiance and one of my friends, all three of us in the same apartment, within touching distance of each other, running new Shield characters through the low end of Praetoria (we got from 1 to 16!)...and we still gratsed each other when we dinged. I even gratsed my friend, confusedly, when he vetrezzed, because I am not used to that power yet.
Saw all those big insps, went "I thought you JUST dinged! Grats!" and he was like "vetrez" and I was like "YOUR INSPS ARE LYING TO ME!"

Quote:Making Hamidon "swimmable" would be awesome. A spheroid that matches the outline of the amoeba, which grants you an auto "go anywhere" (ala flight, but without gutting people's "castable only from the ground" powers) power of some sort and puts you in the "swimming" animation would be epic. (would need to make an "up" and "down" swimming animation, could be as simple as just moving your hands up/down, as appropriate.) Then folks wouldn't have to worry about jetpacks or superjumps or coordinating Group Fly (which is rejectable now anyway) to fight his "bits".Originally Posted by Noble Savage
Animation is indeed an art issue, and the way characters move (or don't) interact with each other profoundly affects gameplay.
Just for fun, let me run some hypothetical update ideas past you and see what you think. As a thought experiment only, let's say we were going to update the primal Hamidon model. Again, absolutely no plans for this, but it's an interesting topic to think about. You've expressed a desire to maintain the character's "amoeba-ness," and I whole-heartedly agree with you. That said, there are ways we could potentially make him more visually interesting while staying completely faithful to the character concept.
Off the top of my head, some examples:
--ANIMATED CILIA. ....
--CELL DIVISION. ....
--SCROLLING SUB-SURFACE TEXTURES. ....
--DETAILED ORGANIC TEXTURES. ....
--FLOATING DEBRIS/BODIES. ....
--ADDITIONAL ORGANELLES. ....
--CYTOPLASM BURSTS. ....
So there you have it. From an art standpoint, we want to do everything in our power to bring these experiences to life in the most engaging, breathtaking, and super-heroic ways possible. Again, a Primal Hamidon update is NOT on the docket at the moment, but if it were, these are some of the things I'd be thinking about.
For me, changes like these would simply be polish on the core experience, deepening the encounter's sense of immersion and realism and keeping the art fresh and modern. This is a living game after all, and ideally we want the graphics to impress both new players that decide to try us out for the first time while simultaneously keeping things fresh for the veterans. I don't think any of the hypothetical updates listed above would harm the Hamidon experience. In fact, I think they could take what's already cool and make it way, way cooler. What do you think?
EDIT: Zaloopa and EK beat me to it! But you see! It's a popular suggestion! I've seen it more than a few times in global channels, and during Hami Raids, and a couple times in the Suggestions forum. -

Quote:I sincerely hope we do not lose Flower Knight with the tutorial revamp. I can't tell you how many times I've helped/been helped by Flower Knight. A countless and countless parade of characters, half or more of whom never graduated beyond the teens in security levels before "retiring" (the "create character" and "delete character" buttons get a lot of workout on my account). Her costume is really simple and comprised of all player items, but it's still memorable even so. I also liked her character description, which I would love to see expanded, and to see Flower Knight again in other stories, to show she has also been working to increase her security clearance as well.Originally Posted by Flarstux
I can't believe no one has mentioned the greatest Paragon City Hero of all - Flower Knight! I am sorely tempted to post screenshots of all my fledgling heroes who have posed with Flower Knight in the dawn of their careers - alas!
Ghost Widow looks kinda cool, too, but she is no Flower Knight!
Neither is Mako, or Nemesis, or Countess Crey, or the Carnies, or the Vahzilok, or the Circle of Thorns, or the Clockwork, or the Rikti, or the Lost, or the Tsoo... -
