Welcome Fansy! Might I suggest you make at least one toon over on Virtue, the Official Unofficial RP server.

FB is blocked at work for me. I don't suppose anyone else is as generous as Coin?

My one request (right now): Add /em getsome and /em bringit to the Taunt animation pool. That should be easy enough, right? No new art, no new FX, just a few lines to call a different emote animation.

I just want to go on record as saying that the idea of locking such a ubiquitous emote behind a serial code is just.... Well,

Bird blast. Make it happen, Devs.

Two things:
I found this thread because you posted as Beastyle.
You patently ignore the complaints coming from South American players why?

Third thing:
NA player, have it already, still wanna know.

HEY YOU SUDAMERICANOS! Have you guys tried getting behind a proxy?

Ooh, is this where we ask the OCR guys to animate some changes to the store?

Can I have more pwnies?

At the risk of raising the dead, Dispari I sent you a link to a large sheaf of screenshots of the new Lore pet recipes from the Beta test.

I get the impression that we're supposed to be on that first Beta server that just says "Not Allowed." since it's a simple flag fix to enable access, rather than the (probably meant to be internal) COHBetaWorldServer.

So in Character Copy tool, do we send them to the Going Rogue Test Server?

Speaking from my experience, I could definitely stand to see /Poison buffed. My first villain 50 was a Bots/Poison/Mace, but I had a dedicated (level-pacted) Brute that I teamed with on the regular to help me through. Now that I'm doing Incarnate trials, I definitely feel underpowered and that's even after throwing a tier-3 Musculature boost at my alpha for all my pets to enjoy.

My secondary is bloody useless in about 50% of the current trial activity, especially in the gathering phase of Lambda, and I have to abuse Power Boost (from the Mace Mastery) and the Megalomaniac accolade if I want my Paralytic Poison+Web Cocoon to be any kind of useful against the AVs. Single-target heals I can live with, even if it does feel a little anemic, and I def. get mileage out of the rez on a trial team since SOMEBODY is going to die. But the Neurotoxic and Weaken/Envenom one-two punch just give too little for too much blue.

I specced out of PG Trap after discovering how bad it was, and it's my dubious fortune that I have a Bot drone that likes to slap people to put Noxious Gas on. A change to this power to make it similar to, say, Darkest Night would be a great help, as would expanding the viable carriers to teammates.

Something must be done.

Agreed with Goliath and the others: Better to temporarily overnerf than to let it continue to be ridiculously OP. They said they're gonna fix-fix it, so unbunch those tights and go on about your business.

Great, now the devs know.
Good job breaking it, Heroes.

Okay, here goes.

First, let me echo the following calls:
Aura EVERYTHINGs. Wings, body parts, weapon trails, weapons, etc. Less is more and you can do amazing things with all fx and no geo/textures.
Updated Fire FX. FIRE!
Beehive Barrier shield FX, especially for the FF powerset.

Auxiliary suggestion: Experiment with "vanishing" wings that disappear when not being used, perhaps by having the "rest" frame not call any geo or FX, if you can do that.
Bring back the feather trail for Angel Wings.


Power Customization II: The Hastening.
Basically getting around to customizing all the Pool Powers, including PPP/APP and Epic Archetype powersets.
To that end SPECIFICALLY I'd like to suggest afterimage shadows for Superspeed and Hasten. You can borrow elements from the Super Reflexes set for the shadows, one early power in that set makes you do that.
Super Leap: Impact craters at takeoff and touchdown.

Costume change emote: Phone Booth. You already have the geo assets in-game, now you just need to adapt them for this. Also: Seconding pillar of light.

I like bats.

Expand on the foot trail tech pioneered in the Steampunk pack. Suggestions: Molten footprint, slime trail, frost patches, "Spring in your Step" where vegetation grows up under your feet and dies away in supertime (Excellent reference: the Shishigami from Princess Mononoke)

Which one might that be, Xmas?

SUDDENLY, BADGERS EVERYWHERE



Edited to actually contribute:

Hand out some free server transfer tokens (One to get in, one to get home) and reward participants with, say, Notice of the Well or Favor of the Well or something like that, and see what kind of reaction you get.

Null needs to become a contact for the next round of Incarnate trials. We already have a talking radio and a television in a blood feud with a mad scientist, why not a seagull that tells the time and hands out missions?

So does that mean that reactivation week will be held sometime during Month Of (Mother) May-hem?


(Hey, that's kinda catchy.)

Ok Z. So how about addressing the lag that has made the BAF trial nigh-unplayable in most cases, that was introduced with that patch the other day.

You know what else? While you're busy fixing the Lagbrea Tarpits, how about you either come out with the actual metrics that determine the participation tables so people can adjust their playstyle to cater to the whims of the system in order to get the reward they came for, or just drop the mechanic altogether.

I have a better idea. How about fixing the gorram problem and not trying to force people who have the AUDACITY to play masterminds to sit around on their duffs playing a second-string defender and probably relegated to the door-sitters ten thread prize instead of actually contributing to the blasted trial?
