What is there to "take care of"? Aside from a little bit of comic relief, there is no negative impact to gaming. This has been around as long as I've been playing and I doubt it's going to get fixed.

Ack. While I can appreciate the time you took outlining your idea, I hope none of this ever makes it into the game.

I don't know if I was somehow scarred as a child, but for the most part I can't stand the kind of atmosphere that tends to surround organized sports. All too often sports reinforce the thinking of if you are 2nd place you're still a loser. To a certain degree that kind of thinking is already in PvP, but at least that is a 'self-contained' part of CoX.

I already try to avoid businesses with TV's playing on the weekends, because invariably there is some sports event blaring. I don't want to have to avoid CoX because it is becoming City of ESPN.

Here's that "awesome" song. The original is a 10MB Wave file. I converted it to MP3 for the sake of download. Other than that: it's the full tune.

The awesome song being referred to is probably the CoH or CoX login theme. The 'song' from that link is not something I've ever heard in CoX. Were you installing through Steam or something?

Even if my idea can't be implemented, I hope we can at least get some kind of base editing improvements/additions. I like to spend time in the base editor like others spend time at the tailor.

It may also be the effect of a Day Job (if you were logged out at
Tram - ie. Commuter badge or a Black Helo - ie. Pilot badge).

I believe that both of those give a temporary movement buff


[/ QUOTE ]


There is no Day Job that boosts Flight speed to +96.42 MPH.

Again, the data reported in the movement section of Combat Attributes is accurate.

For a long time now I've hoped for more Base lovings from the Devs. The recent additions of Super Leader and bin permissions are very welcome additions indeed, don't get me wrong. However, Base additions and improvements feel a lot farther down on the to-do list. This brings me to an idea that I haven't seen as of yet, so if it has I imagine someone will direct me to it.

Ever since I've started playing CoX, I've wished the Base Editor was less.. well.. clunky. With one mis-click by mistake or even lag, the entire base color/style scheme can be totally screwed. Also, in extreme situations, Base members can be left 'out in the cold' if the Base is undergoing extreme renovation (ie items being sold/moved constantly during plot/room changes). It would be great to be able to actually edit the base in a virtual environment before applying the change.

So here goes. Is it possible for the AE mission creation 'engine' to be reworked into a Base Architect? Granted, I have no idea about any of the coding considerations for this task, but if it could be done, this would solve so many problems.

[*]Accidental base editing would be a thing of the past. (i.e. crap I sold the tp pad!)
[*]Base plot editing could be done without inconveniencing base members during construction.
[*]Conflicts could be caught before the plot is 'published'.
[*]Teaching base editing to others would no longer pose any threat to the existing plot.


I envision it working something like this.

[*]The Base Architect would have access permissions set by the Super Leader just as bins do. In this case I would like to see separate permissions for the ability to view, edit and publish base builds.
[*]The BA would be able to store at least 3 virtual base builds (maybe this number could be bigger for the smallest Bases).
[*]New and improved base items could be unlocked much the way extra AE maps/critters etc are unlocked. Such possible additions are the green crystal light 'fixtures' in the big CoT maps, and even water fountains.


I have more ideas, but this is a good starting point. Feedback please!

I'm sure many players would love having the ability to build objects from scratch, but yes I wouldn't hold my breath.

If you're talking about this kind of bug..

wwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwewTanker LFT

...then no, it hasn't been fixed yet.

It says right on the box "Children under the age of 13 are not permitted to play"

[/ QUOTE ]

No, it doesn't.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, it does. It is clearly listed in the big red box between the UPC code and the ESRB rating. Also, my copies of the GvE Edition and Architect Edition both have it.

Not valid for purchase if opened. Not valid for resale by prior owner. Acceptance of certain agreements is required. Players are responsible for all applicable Internet fees. Children under the age of 13 are not permitted to play. A valid credit card or time card is required to activate. NC Interactive charges a monthly subscription fee for this product, separate from your ISP charges.


IMO though, all this statement really does is release NC Interactive from liability if a parent decides to let those under 13 play. They don't have to actively enforce it.

The fly speed number shown from right-clicking has been bugged for a long time. What is reported in the Movement section of Combat Attributes is the accurate number.

BayBlast, since your personal attack on me was remove, I assume you either had a change of heart or the devs smacked you.

[/ QUOTE ]

I decided my choice of words was in poor taste so I deleted it. Though you clearly seem incapable of editing yourself in a like manner.

Others have reported this happening to their bases.

What I would do is before deleting any Beacons, make sure you can still replace it. That way if you lose the ability to place new ones, you can use the existing one to prove to support that is was previously unlocked.


FYI, sending a /bug report does not start a Support dialogue. Use /petition.

It's not about wanting things handed to me, its about not having to waste so much time of my life and wait so long (not to metion the monthly fees...though, guess I just did :P) just to get a token power I mostly want for background color for my toon.


[/ QUOTE ]

I really don't understand the justification for this kind of thinking..
[*]How is it a "waste of time" when the badge is earned by offline characters while you are either playing other characters or doing RL stuff?
[*]We have to wait for Vet rewards too, so does that warrant the same complaint? This sounds more like But I want it NAO issue rather than waiting a mere 21 days.
[*]Your monthly fee is for full access to the game, of which the Day Jobs are a very small part. Your game experience is largely up to you, so if you feel Day Jobs are a waste of your time then ignore them.

You can also use the Self destruct while shapeshifted (like PPD Hardsuit Costume) and you'll leave a body behind that can be targeted for veng and/or rez

[/ QUOTE ]

O rly?? I've got to try that.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Okay, if it's so easy... how does one do it?

[/ QUOTE ]


1: set venge/rez on autofire
2: Shift+number target the ally a few times in rapid succession(hold shift, and tap the number that applies to the blown up team mate a few times)

[/ QUOTE ]


Very clever.

[ QUOTE ]
Speaking of the Auto Attack feature. Is there a way to have multiple abilities on auto-attack?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, there is not.

It uses what Pohsyb refers to as a "Burtle Hash" (ref: http://cityofheroes.wikia.com/wiki/I...al_Name_Colors)

[ QUOTE ]
Technically, its using a burtle hash on the name string, converting that integer into a color value, then brightening the rgb values 5 at a time until its luminosity is at least 127

[/ QUOTE ]

However a Google search for the term finds only three references to "burtle hash", one of which is the Wiki itself. Luckily the Wiki page does have a link to a reference page:

http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/doobs.html

[/ QUOTE ]


Well that answers my question then. I was hoping to find some sort of application that duplicates this, but that's seems a bit unlikely now. Thank you for the info, nonetheless.

I would like to find out if anyone knows the formula used to determine the colour assigned to players names when Individual Name Colours are enabled?

Basically, I'm hoping to find a way to 'choose' certain colours by tweaking the names.

Yes wikked, but I mean actual fisticuffs, you know what I am saying, not dark melee, not fire, not blades, good ole fist in face, boot in a**, fist in the temple, fist in the solar plexes......

That doesnt sound very . . . "super"

[/ QUOTE ]

Try telling that to Manticore and see where it gets you.

Let me see if I understand this.

CoX adds the ability to actually earn an assortment of 30+ different powers/buffs per character while offline for minimal effort, and that isn't good enough for you?

Like.. wow.

It sounds like the OP is saying that the 1440x900 is no longer available as a desktop resolution.

[ QUOTE ]
Yes, it would 'lock out' legitimate players, but at some point the ISP's that cater to these guys would get such a low rating from gamers, no one who wanted to play would sign up with them. Same goes for IP 'proxy' services. If you NEED a proxy to play... then there's something else going on.

[/ QUOTE ]
What then is the recourse for players if the ISP doing this is the only choice for a region?

IMO, additional action like this would be more of a headache for not very much gain.

Use /bug in-game for errors such as this. It probably won't be noticed here for a fix.

[ QUOTE ]
this game should lower its monthly fee to $9.99 instead of 14.99 imo. its getting old. its 5yrs old now. any game this old should not be going for 14.99/month still. if the rate wasn't so high i would keep my subscription going for a longer time. since its so high i will only subscribe for one more month before quiting.

LOL


Buh-bye!

This has been discussed again, and again, and again, and again..... so it's not just you.
