The only way to implement this fairly is to also create a men-only server.
Oh wait, that would be sexist. Funny how that works, isn't it? -
So I was tooling around on my warshade, and I got to thinking: is it possible to softcap a kheldian's defenses? I haven't seen much talk about it.
Perhaps the better question is, is it feasible? Would I need purple or pvp IOs or can standard set bonuses get me up there - preferably without gimping my offense? -
Dare I say, this idea has ... merit?

Getting my demon/therm out of Praetoria would be great.

Not especially impressive, but I'd be willing to 5-slot it (minus the proc) in an attack for the goodies it does offer. Psi protection being hard to come by outside of certain powersets and all.
This of course depends on how many PPs it would cost to buy 5/6. -

I always knew Recluse was a technophiliac. That explains why he keeps that bastÂard Black Scorpion as a patron... What an interesting yaoi. -
Love this thought.
+ however many votes I have available to throw at it. Which probably totals 1, but just in case ....

For me it depends on the individual character, and the individual plot element. When they run into a part of the story that interests them, they go after it. When none of the available story arcs really matches their interests, they do their own thing.

I'm tired of looking at that silly yellow aura every time I activate anything from Flight or Leaping, and the fist-glow of Hasten looks even more ridiculous. -
Am I crazy, or is there some synergy between Granite's near-invulnerability and the recharge debuffs of the Ice attacks? It sounds good in my head (and I have a character concept in mind that might fit), but does it work in-game?
My thought process:
Being on a less-than-generous budget, I'm not really able to stack copious amounts of recharge, so I figured on just overwhelming Granite's recharge penalty by grabbing most of my secondary and maybe an ancillary pool attack or two. Ice (from my reading on the forum) has a lot of good attacks in it, plus a recharge debuff to the targets. Hey, if I'm going to be slowed, why not share the love?
So ... am I misreading things or is this a literal "mighty glacier" character? -

Yeah, that's a fail. States would send that robot thingy to the moon. To the moon, Alice! Do you hear?!

I usually start with an AT/powerset combo in mind, and build the character concept around that. Occasionally it goes the other way round, but not often.

So you don't like that I pull no punches? You don't like that there have been entire threads devoted to slagging me because of how often I've been right?
Get over yourself.

If he did that he wouldn't be the Je_Saist we know and love. Okay not love but if he changed we'd all be wondering who the hell took over his account and what the heck they did with him.

Signed. I can literally count on one hand the number of chest details that don't look ridiculous on anything besides a solid-color spandex top.

"Some", yes. But what about those poor saps who chose a defense-heavy primary and can't hope to reach those monster resist numbers?

A) The ability to wear new players like costume parts
B) Riding new players like mounts
Or
C) Being able to pick up new players and use them like clubs, shieds, or throw them like javelins?
Unless you've heard of something new?
Even better would be the ability to swing one bad guy at another, and skip the player-abuse part. -
Wait, I though the HP cap for heavy melee types was somewhere in the 3-4k range.
So you're saying this Bobcat swings for roughly twice a tank's hp in damage, pre-mitigation? -
Persistent bugger, ain't he?
I considered rigging it to respawn him several times around the map at random, then I remembered how annoying that was when I played through someone else's arc that did that. -
Here's something I knocked out in a couple hours.

I'd disagree on that, most FPS games I've played default to A and D for strafing. It does differ from the convention used in a certain other major MMO but then CoH predates that MMO so it can be excused for not copying.Therein lies the problem. On everything BUT FPS games, the standard is A/D for turning, Q/E for strafing if strafing is an available command. CoH is not a FPS, and if it ever starts to behave like one, I'm quitting.Quote:

Quote:1. The defaults for the turn/strafe actions are backwards, compared to conventional game layout. Basic game control conventions exist for a reason; going for a counterintuitive setup doesn't make your game look cool - it makes your game look like it was made by idiots.Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
What things might/did bother you as a new player?
2. Most options have to be toggled individually for every single character you make. Really, Paragon/NCSoft? In a game that prides itself in its ability to induce altitis?
3. Hit-and-miss power documentation. Many of the plain-language descriptors on the various powers do diddly towards explaining what that power does. I often have to dig into the detailed info to figure out how to use a new ability, which in turn required me to update my glossary of terms via info from other players on the forums. And nothing in-game gives you any clue about when you can expect access to a given power, outside of the pool powers. -
Quote:This is the only part of the character designer that gets to me, because it's mechanically unworkable no matter how you try to spin it. Heels are categorically a bad idea if you're going to be doing anything even remotely as physically active as fighting (or committing) crime.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
... walk like she's in 12-inch heels ...
It's been tested by martial artists; and those tests clearly demonstrated that, given roughly-equal skills and physical attributes, a fighter in flat soles will DOMINATE a fighter in heels - period.
Unless your character is in permanent hover/fly mode and never gets involved in melee combat, you're violating a pretty basic law of combat anatomy by donning heels. -

Curse you Devs. You have taken a game I love and are planning on making it better....how dare you change things for the positive.
Powerset proliferation? Really? Giving things to other AT's that once belonged only to a few? What's next? Super Strength for scrappers?
A new primary/secondary in Time Manipulation? A powerset that I am anxiously awaiting while activally trying not to hold my breath. Seriously I have not been this excited about a powerset since Dual Blades and Willpower.
Titan Weapons? A set that takes my freakish love of Anime and FF7 (Advent Children) and gives me an outlet to play said set while being a hero?
What's next? Making it so if I happen to miss a month's payment I can still play? Calling it Freedom and making it so I can choose when I want to pay?
Seriously Devs, I am so apointed (read; opposite of DISapointed) with the direction this game is going, I may just renew my subscription and keep playing.
This game has finally "gone to the americans"
*The above not real rant is a tongue in cheek reference to the doom criers and nay sayers. I love this game, I love this community, and in all the games I have played, never have the Devs listened to the players as much as in this game. Excellent work Devs, and please keep it up. You are only making me happier and happier with each new announcement* -
Look on the bright side, Sam. CoH acknowledges that women can fight. That's better than the shake they usually get in advertising or pro wrestling.
