    It was wanting to save body sliders that originally had me saving costume files. Rerolling main into something else...want to get the sliders right...save it!

    Then I started going...hmmm...I should just save the costume for later instead of trying to put it back together by memory (even if some of them are really simple to remember).

    [*]Added choker without cameo
    This is probably my favorite fix. When I saw the choker I was all "Why can't it be just the choker?" Didn't realize it was a bug...glad to see it was in detail 2 instead of shoulders as well.

    Is it possible to get Spiked Collar put into Detail 2 as well (could keep it in Shoulders as well)

    And while I didn't think it was a bug that the pack lacked it, I'm for the curly hair being made into just a curly hair option, sans the hat.

    I saw the curls and was :O I must have. The hat...not so much. Sorry, bought the pack, but I bought it more for mixing with other pieces and less for the steampunk look.

    Love the Victorian jackets and would love a sleeveless option (not sure if that's a bug or not either)

    Personally I would like the borelo shoulder fur for some of my guys to give them fuzzy jackets. (Maybe it won't look quite as good in my head, but ya never know until ya try, right?)
    There's also the headband thing that's been brought up before, and one of my male characters has... Memory problems when it comes to his appointments with the barber, so by now he'd probably be using the longest hairs female models have.
    Truthfully, if it's the one female models got now, it'd look terrible. I looks terrible now! I wish I could use the Borelo and remove the shoulder fur.
  4. I saw this quite awhile ago (subbed) I enjoyed it, though a bit disappointed that it didnt really go with the anime series.

    That said, turning all those attacks into 1.188 second (accounting for arcanatime) would make for a fun and fast set, if they didnt mess with the dmg/end/rch.
  6. I want Martial Arts animations ported to Electric Melee (and all the elemental melee sets that have the same animation time)

    Your 3 starter/bread and butter powers look really comparable to me. Then you get your utility mix that differentiates the set. Is ice patch + frozen aura is just as cool as lightning rod, just on a different angle.

    Ideally we'd get Ice Slash (dominator l35) instead of GIS, or GIS would get sped up, but even if it didn't the set doesn't look terrible.

    P.S.: Please devs make FA 15 radius like Foot Stomp. <.<
    Hmmm...could be right, maybe I'm just so used to it on Tankers where it's DPS just felt terrible (though I admit I havent touched my Ice/Ice Tanker since Bruising was added).

    On scrappers it does look to do better ST DPS than ELM, and with Frozen Aura up more often than LR, the AOE damage looks to be better at a quick glance.

    Guess it's just a wait and see, play it out see if I like it better on a Scrapper than I did my Tanker (I fully admit to loving using Frozen Aura...but I did before the DMG was added, because I just love the animation).
  8. Over 80. Some are my namesake's various costumes that I switch out.
  9. Don't know if it's a bug, just forgotten, or what, but I thought I'd mention something a friend thought needed fixed, and that's the male boots only work with a few of the legging options (like only tucked in if I recall) and they wish they could use them with any of the leggings.

    1) The first three movies worked great b/c of the big three characters, Turner, Swann, and Sparrow. Johnny Depp's Sparrow really had no one to play off in this movie, I'm not saying they should've brought back Swann and Turner( or they shouldn't), but having no one to react to Sparrow, except for maybe his female equivilant........
    2) The real big bads here, were the Spaniards, which were basically card board cutouts
    3) You didn't have anything like the everyman's role/ comedy relief of the red coast pair, or the pirate pair, the closest you had here, was the little side story of the priest and the mermaid which seemed tacked on
    I don't know if the romance was so much tacked on, as it was cut from the script.

    They knew they'd need a tear. And I get the feeling from the movie that Angelica knew when they started on their quest they were going to need to go another route to get a tear from the mermaid, rather than one of beating it out of her.

    So they kept the missionary around as they knew he was the type to at the very least care enough about the mermaid to try to rescue her.

    She would lie to people by telling them the truth. She thought the way to save her fathers soul was to let him live longer (whats one more murder tacked onto many others? ) So saying they kept the missionary around because she thought he could save her father's soul was true, but not in the way she led Jack to believe.

    Of course Black Beard thought it foolish, thinking beating the tear out of the mermaid would work, but a back up plan is never a bad thing.

    As for the loss of the two red coats and the two comedy pirates, my guess is they died on the Black Pearl when Black Beard took it down, and the audience was expected to know this. And it adds more impact to Barbosa losing the Pearl, when you know his whole crew was wiped out and your left thinking "Damn Black Beard! He killed off the two pirates!"

    Yes, would of been more of an impact if we saw this scene take place.

    Of course they could of decided they needed to do it off camera, incase they wanted to bring any of those pirates back for #5.

    "Oh look! They weren't part of Barbosa's crew at the time of the Pearl being taken down!"

    But in doing this, yes, they probably should of put in a new comedy pair.

    You say this, but I doubt Ice Melee will be popular among the players.

    It'll be cool to have, and Frozen Aura would just be awesome, but it's damage is like one of the lowest for Tankers if I recall correctly, and I I can't imagine it being high up there on the Scrapper lists...thusly people will moan about it being low damage.

    Seeing this would be the case, it only makes sense to port Ninjitsu as you can't port Ice Melee without Ice Armor...sooo...Super Strength/Ninjitsu!

    I am close to getting Ball of Lightning. Once I got that and slotted it, the battle opening is going to be BU, LR, Ball of Lightning, Placate, Thunder/Chained.

    I am going to put proc damage and knockdown in Chained Induction as well.


    By the way, which other ST-focused toons you have that have zero AoE? Energy Melee Stalker? Even for MA Scrapper, there is Dragon Tail and Dark Melee has a small cone and an aoe that fuels damage big time.

    Martial Arts needs some aoe. Eagle Claw hurts but not enough IMO. Hell, my MA/Will has trouble taking down a pylon. I need to find the balance between survival and damage and MA's ST dps is still not impressive. Its full critical potential looks good on paper, but you'll need some close teammates.


    For a set that has zero aoe, every attack needs to be FAST. Storm Kick is what I consider a very good MA attack but all the other ones take at least 1.67s, which I feel it's still too long. No attack should be higher than 1.33s activation time IMO. I gotta be able to switch targets quick if all I have is single target. Martial Arts in other fighting games are usually "fast attacking" sets and Stalker's Martial Arts doesn't give me this feeling (but Ninja Blade does. ).
    When I said on my ST focused toons, I meant on one I took mostly ST attacks. I think only Stalker MA is the only set without any AOE.

    With that, I still suggest the removal of Thunder Kick, give Storm kick it's animation as an alternate animation, and put in DT.

    I am leveling my lvl 43 Elec/Will now and honestly, his ST damage is decent enough. The mix of Energy/Smashing damage is better than just all Smashing like MA.
    Of course. I knew that on all my ST focused toons (which was most of them).

    However, with my new ELM/NIN I'm leveling up, I hope to get a good ST output (which I would have a decent one of, if they'd just up the Stalker Damage Mod to Scrapper levels) and good AOE.

    By that logic, any game that didnt give it to you now, could mean that players may never get the costume piece.

    Oh look! Wow! A new game! Oh look at tht awesome set of costume pieces in the preview. Gotta be max level to get them. Okay! I can be max level in a month.

    20 Days later the game shuts down.

    134 Days, please. CoH will still be running 5 months from now.

    [Edit] Now that I'm against lower prices. I'm just saying. That logic is flawed.

    Ancient Japan!

[I used the Midnighter Club as a starting point because the Tsoo do practice magic so who better to ask us to help stop them].

    A Coop TF could pit us against various Tsoo leaders (AVs) and ultimately a battle against the War Lord himself. Now here's a twist ... in Cimerora we discovered 5th Column and Nictus causing the unrest and creating the situation that makes it necessary for us to go and stop Romulus. In this zone how about we utilize Darrin Wade and a group of Ex-midnighters. Darrin is described as an Ex Midnighter himself that left with a number of stolen artifacts. Along with his associates he has traveled back in time to aid the TSoo and form an alliance that ultimately could allow him to destroy the Midnighters in our present. Depending on when all that would take place it could have even greater effects since most of the Omega team that stopped the Rikti invasion were Midnighters.. no Midnighters Club .. No Omega team ... and we are all Rikti slaves!

    One more suggestion.. Let's add a new Giant Monster to the zone. The Japanese view dragons as a source of power and magic so let's add a dragon with fire and some magic attacks. Before the posts start.. Yes I know the Devs say that adding animals that walk on 4 legs isn't feasible, or whatever, but not all dragons walk on four legs.. I have seen plenty of drawings, ect where a dragon walked upright on two legs similar to a man. Heck some dragons have even been depicted as shape shifters that can assume human form.. How about we make the War Lord in the TF a shape shifting dragon. Defeat him once and when he arises he takes on Dragon form to battle the TF again. Then have a similar dragon, the Spirit of a defeated war lord, appear from time to time in zone to be battled seperately.

    Quinch Sorry but there just are not that many comic books or cartoons that revolve around super heroes in Africa. About the only one I can recall is the old Phantom cartoons and those were never as popular as Batman, Spidy or Superman. Thanks to Anime there is just a lot more interest in anything oriental.
    The Tsoo are Korean.

    Deadman will be the star of Adventure Comics.

    The multi-color Lantern Corps still seem to be in-continuity, since they'll be getting their own new series.

    Check here for more snippets, including the full JLA cover art with redesigns for Batman, Flash and Cyborg.

    And seeing as how it's made back all it's money and almost another 400million so far, I'm sure we'll get another

    Interresting. Why don't Zombies work for being heroes?

    No, I'm sure some people wouldn't like Uncle Bob being lifted the grave to fight crime, but if it comes down to stop the killer or let the killer murder someone because they didnt want to raise the dead, option 2 sounds better.

    Just saying, all the MM primaries can be made to work for heroes if one just tries, even a little.

    Not against new MM primaries though. However, I don't think using NPC groups is a good idea.

    Now this I can get behind!

    Everyone on the team has to press the button. We'd just have to make sure it didn't tell you, who hasnt pushed the button (it's either deal with griefers or deal with people belittling people not ready for the next spawn, and Id rather have to deal with griefers).

    But yes, agreed on the one point previously mentioned. The Respec trial is suppossed to be for those who need to respec, so making it hard is just silly.

    My mistake! Still, that's 3 EMerits a day for 3 trials a day.

    And like previously mentioned, its not suppossed to be fast an easy to be at the top powers right away (unless you consider grinding to do so easy).

    And getting tier 3 is not hard. It's quite easy. I had a tier 3 from nothing just the other day by running 4 Trials and converting 10 Shards to Threads.

    This is pretty much the sum total of what we know about Issue 21:



    You know what kind of sticks out at me? There is no mention whatsoever about the end-game experience. In fact, if you read his whole post, the word Incarnate appears in it exactly zero times. Will there be nothing Incarnate-related in the issue? Meh, I dunno, maybe. But still, it seems odd to me that he wouldn't have at least stuck a quick, "We've got some cool new Incarnate stuff in the pipeline, too!" in there. It seems to me that despite your melodrama and alarmism, Issue 21 is probably not going to be heavily on the end-game/Incarnate content.
    You're right!

    What I'm more worried about not seeing mentioned in this little quote is I see no mention of power proliferation, which if the #! most important thing they need to work on.

    IMO...others may vary (but they'd be wrong >_>)
  23. Interresting. I know players who like the idea of the cosmetic rewards being a reason they should do the itrials.

    They're quick. So they don't feel locked into them like they do a TF. And with these rewards they feel like they have a reason to do them over just the power increases.

    So, CoH does in fact have players this appeals too.

    Wonder Woman's costume is already fail! She has a classic costume she's known for, and they continue to try and get rid of it.

    Superman looks like he's younger.

    Going to take all they've done and trash it. Superman for instance will likely be pining away for Lois again, and not married to her.

    I notice a lack of Batman. Are they using this as an excuse to get rid of Batman Inc?

    So far, this all leaves me thinking "Laaaaame"
