Quote:saving upi could get 24k over the duration vs the 86kOriginally Posted by _Klaw_
Because they didn't.
Also you don't have to pay any extra money, you can simply save up the stipend and wait for any new goodies. You seem to want everything immediately at no extra cost. Why should they do that for you?
that 400 a month will never be a enough why would anyone want to spen 5 dollars above the subscription for a imginary hat. -
lets think about it another wayi played off and on up untill mid incarnate rollout pretty much i have seen all of the free content and i must buy new content with those points if i were to marathaon play like i used to i would spend 3 times a much if not higher to keep getting content and new powers
logically speaking there would be no point in subscribing after the first month for anyone who used to play this game.
maybey its a good thing I saved $850 and i didnt have to wait 5 years to do it -
conceivably i played for 5 years before i quit at 15 d0llars a month that time comes up to about 900 and some change plus the amout for buying coh and cov new
if i had stayed an additional 5 years after today the money i would spend would equal 86400 points
not to mention that COH at largely is playable i find no incentive to buy any points when im allready investing this much money why not make that stuff free then people will subscribe like they did before.
Truth is they want to people to spen more than 15 dollars a month...
900 dollars is alot of money to spend just to be renting time on a server
its a thought that is in the back of my head when im tempted to buy those points -
If i still have to buy power set and things like that i might as well cut out the middle man and buy the points

Quote:i havent even got to that point on one of the trials that actually let me in last week ive only been on 2 since i have been trying for 4 days but the system looks at your AT and not what the AT actually does so we ended up with 3 controllers and a bunch of scrapper and blasters but no healers and no tank alot of team member would get held and be killed by mezzersOriginally Posted by catwhowalksbyhimself
The system's not the problem, it's how folks have chosen to use it. I have used in on Freedom sucessful many times. Sucessfully in the sense that I got a league to run the trial. Those attempts nearly all failed, though.
People have found it far easier to preform teams, allowing them to have actual leadership, set the teams up the way they want to, make sure they have the right diversity of ATs, and so forth. This doesn't mean that there's any problem with the turnstile system, but it just turns out to be something that folks form our little game don't really seem to want to use.
they would quit out of frustration
I imagine they are trying to copy starcrafts 2 system where they pair you up with other players but the problem is when you get paired up like that the teams usually suck
it hurts the incarnate system becuase that was hailed the method of getting shards and exp for the omega system but if people cant partake whats the point -
thats misrepresentation
im sitting here waitng for a league when i could have gotten a regular team and been playing the game
now im sitting here waiting for a league invite and and hour goes by im thinking what is the point i could have been playing a diffrent game with people and getting enjoyment out of it.
the system sucks
more often then not i will just be sitting waiting for a group. I think personaly ther system isnt updating who is looking for a league list properly
and you cant look for a team and the league its one or the other -
Quote:those tfs arent that hardOriginally Posted by Shred_Monkey
First... I love what the incarnate system has done. It's got people playing level 50s. This is our endgame system, and whether you like it or not, you can't argue against the fact that it's very effectively gotten people to play their toons past reaching 50. Now with latest release, you've gotten more people to ru................................................ ............
Also, seeing as how eventually there will be no reason to gain more shards (or perhaps that won't happen if you keep using them for future boosts)... perhaps give us a shard vendor who collects shards in exchange for temp powers or recipes... something to keep the cycle going.
there was soo much hype around them but really they only issue i have is the final bosses stupidity. if you played games like megeman zelda and batman arkam asylum those bosses arent just got io sit there and allow you to beat on them till they die they cange as the battle gose on to keep it interesting
look at recluse in the statesman tf you destroy one of this towers and he does nothing. destroying one of those towers should make him go on a rampage of sorts -
Quote:but they could get rid of the inharent power alltogether and give us our own personal sidekickOriginally Posted by Zombie Man
The datamining in question is this: Blasters were the slowest leveling AT. Why? They were the AT most prone to dieing, which incurs Debt, which slows down leveling.
The situation of finishing off that last foe with Old Defiance was great, but too situational. How many times when you're about to die that you only have one foe shooting at you?
It also encouraged Blasters to live on the edge purposely incurring low hp and thus making them more likely to die. Thus, it encouraged bad playstyle.
New Defiance has a Damage buff that relies on attacking, not incurring damage. That is better. New Defiance also has a partial mez workaround. That is better. -
or what if they gave the players that reach a certain point the ability to have open power selections it would not make anyone less social the game is boring with out teaming

Quote:then you would create a an expextation that you must be a certain origin to be an effective archetype. people would say you magic and you a tanker why? with the current enhancements you can do this anywayOriginally Posted by BrandX
When the Origins give bonuses such as...
Mutant +2% Resist
Natural +2% Defense
Science +3% Recharge
Magic +4% Damage
Tech +5% End Red
You're telling me, you'd really look back on the origins and complain that if you'd known which origin would of gotten one of those bonuses, you'd be upset?
Those bonuses, which are rather trivial, you'd let that upset you? o.O
I'd still be choosing my origins based entirely on concept, as those bonuses really do nothing for the builds other than have me think "Oh wow, still going to slot the way I was going to slot"
unless you want your origin to determin how much and NPC will discriminate aginst you not much they can do that they allready have done. The devs goal is to make sure that the majority of players can choose as they wish with limits -
Quote:not just that the game doesnt handel fast movement well either you would be restricted 100% to the road and car would be so slow so you could make the turns or you would have a city with out predestriansOriginally Posted by Aett_Thorn
You have to understand that this is a very common suggestion. Those of us that tend to frequent the suggestions and ideas forum see this come up a decent amount. Most people don't search for other, similar suggestions, so don't account for the same problems that others forgot to account for.
You say that there's no strafing, but that would mean that the Q and E buttons would need two different mappings, and the game would need to be able to tell if you're in a vehicle or not.
Also, other things that are often brought up when an idea likes this comes up:
How do you handle powers in the vehicles? Do you turn them off completely? If so, this makes vehicles less useful than individual travel powers by far. Or, do you create new animations for when you're in the vehicles? This takes 5*2*3*9*10 (plus a few for the EATs) = 3240 new animations PER VEHICLE. Just as a rough idea, that's equivalent to about 120 new powersets in terms of workload.
Also, how does the car handle water? The motorcycle? How do they drive up sheer cliffs? If they can't do these things, then normal travel powers are still better once again.
Basically, to do vehicles, you either need to do a TON of work, or they end up being less useful than travel powers, or both. As such, it's seen as a very, very, very low priority.
the vehicles in game are kind of like NCP they dont follow and kind of law of physics they just display translational motion which is not fun -
want your origin to count use regualr enhancements they are origin based
-
thing is with new defiance you can avoid those stiuations this game is more than just sit there and click powers if your blaster does not move around to stay out of range of your enemies you will suffer more face plants.
defiance is not supposed to usurp you own powers its for flavor like salt -
actually you can have the updater open while you are playing coh so if you forget you can open it again
-
new defiance is a way to make things more fair compaired to tanks and scrappers defender and controlers they ger to use their those character aspects all the time scrapper get criticals, tanks get better taunts, controlers get better crowd control. What do blasters used to get?
well when a blaster was about to die his or her power would skyrocket. In most cases it was not fair for blasters because it would encourage bad behavior for blasters. to get more power you have to almost die. Scrappers dont have to almost die to get criticals.
as foes got stronger you really never used defiance becuase you would get one shot killed limiting defiance situation to a once in a blue moon strategy. -
WTF man :P
-
Reading is important and all but the mission descriptions got to change. When your on a team you dont have time to read through all of it becuase every one else wants to hurry most times.
What can replace it is collectable ingame comic books and as the story arc progresses it unlocks a new section of the comic. In many cases it will help with immersion opposed to just having a wall of text.
mabey include generic photos of the current hero that we are playing and insert them in the comics so that each players comic collection will be a little different.
this way more players can see what is going on without holding back the team in any way.
just just another way to set this game apart fom the other super hero genere.
they dont have to be high res comic books but to save on server space they could be hosted on each player personal computers so when we are not playing we can go throught the comics book and read them -

Asking for thrust vectoring is a bit too much Sam. At this rate we'll be lucky to see them as static costume parts.
What I don't undersand is why they cant have a scrip read the toon's costume info, and then automatically place the jet-pack at a point that looks good based on where the physique slider is. In short the current attachment point is in the middle of the body right? So place it at the point where its Attachment point + distance to back +/- Physique slider, so that it rests right on the back. But it may be that they can't control that. -
skip incatnate no point in trying right now its not a fun system becuase you have to gind in a specific way to get the salavage they have to give a batter way of doing this

I get the BSOD when i talk to contacts ill keep track of the ones i get most of them are contact related

i would wander if my avatar would show up if i should create missions

only if i could pay my rent so that i can mod my base stupid base bugs

Manticore, Sister Psyche to Wed!
On Thursday, February 14th, 2008 Paragon City will rejoice in a celebration of love and union between two of its luminary Heroes. Manticore and Sister Psyche will celebrate their devotion to each other with a very special live wedding ceremony to be held on the Training Room (test server). The Heroes will be controlled in real life by Sean Dornan-Fish, the man behind the Manticore persona, and his wife Jennifer Dornan-Fish. Matt Positron Miller will be on hand to officiate the ceremony, along with many other signature characters from the City of Heroes® universe.
Beginning at 3:00PM PST (6:00 PM EST) on the Training Room, and repeating for the next 3 hours, we will present the wedding ceremony live. We invite anyone who is interested to come out and partake in the festivities! However, please keep in mind that each presentation of the ceremony will only accommodate approximately one hundred participants. Gaining access to the wedding event will be simply the luck of the draw for those in the zone when it begins. Heroes and Villains, look for the ushers in Atlas Park and Mercy Island (there is one usher in each zone).
Spring Fling Begins Feb. 14th!
Valentines Day also kicks off this years annual Spring Fling event, including DJ Zeros Pocket D Jubilee. Just head over to Pocket D, the space between Paragon and the Rogue Isles, where DJ Zero will be playing host again. Ganymede, Emissary of the God Eros, will be back, hoping to harness the primordial force of love, allowing Hero and Villain alike to lay down arms and join together to complete a host of missions.
Outside of the Pocket D, and in conjunction with the live Wedding event, players will find new Hero and Villain contacts in Atlas Park and Mercy Island. Sela Vermont, wedding coordinator of Manticore and Sister Psyche, sends Heroes on a special wedding gift reconnaissance mission while Zev Scalamore, under direction of Arachnos, enlists Villains to do his dirty work.
Event Timing:
Start: Thursday, February 14th,
8:59am PST / 11:59am EST
Finish: Thursday, February 28th,
8:59pm PST / 11:59pm EST

Just wondering. Seems alot of attention villains need, just is a no go. COH gets alot more attention. This goes for pve and pvp. Will 2008 actually bring some attention?
[/ QUOTE ]
see what happens when you eat the last pudding cup
coh gets more attention more people play coh and there were issue with coh that was never resolved seems unfair but this is what happen when you wanna treat both games seprate if both side were open to heroes and villans well more content for every one.
heroes would go in to cov if had the chance but you cna blame patron power for that so i hear -
first off who says sony wont make a keyboard for ps3
second who says it wont be online becuase ps3 has online capabilities
third it wont change your game play at all except add more people in to the game
the real issue is how will updates be handeled
reast that crap is trivial look at xmen legends each xman has about 9 powers one your done leveling them and they make it work on controler
this doent really effect any of you becuase controler are more efficient
but they should focus on a single player mode aswell so players wont be forced to do the whole monthly fee if they dont
looking at the situation with the ideals why we cant doesnt solve anything
seeing how this is suggested alot some one got their wish
