    I figure I should point out this possibility for the fire, even if it would significantly complicate the building of the fireplace. It's only useful if you're already planing on having the fireplace on a second floor because the floor torches themselves are precisely two floor sections tall. Although that does make it easy to figure out where to put the blank arcane supergroup tile (the emblem in th 4th row, 9th column doesn't display).

    Since I don't currently have a room where I plan on having a second story or a fireplace, I didn't want to put in the time to build the surroundings for that, but the flames look nice apparently resting on that stone square.

    Finding out my gamertag is not impossible without me posting in the Gamertag Exchange. I know one CoH player who already found it and added me to his friends list.

    Positron's gamertag is easily visible on his blog.

    (To all those who go, "WAAAA??? Positron has a blog!", it's a very occasionally updated blog. No, I won't tell you how to find it. Finding the blog can be the millstone around your neck if you really have to know.)

    Yeah, I need to post something... maybe you guys can give me ideas for topics of discussion.

    Folks this Hamidon raid is MORE open to griefing.

    How?

    I take my group of Uber players into Hamidon and we set up camp there. We defeat Hamidon and STAY there. 50 man cap and no instancing means grief city.

    If I refuse to leave even tho' I get no reward I effectively grief others.

    As far as no holding making it more fun - how's that Sewer Trial doing now? Yes, no one does it. I am not encouraged by the description of this encounter.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    If ya'll want to hold the Hive open with 45 people and no Hammi, we can send 5 more people into your instance and the game will automatically spawn a new instance with Hammi.

    Are ya'll making up ways to grief this?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Actually, IIRC, if it is following tradition form, probably at about 40 a new hive will open.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That's possible. It took a lot of folks last year on Freedom to spawn a second and a third Hive.

    "Moral Combat"

    [ QUOTE ]
    I'm extremely disappointed that an image of Statesman would be used in such a way. I know that we designed City of Heroes to appeal to "children of all ages." My proudest accomplishment with the game is that many parents (including my brother) play with their children...sharing, I hope, the same joy for the comic book world that I've had ever since I was 8. I cannot express the shock that I felt seeing that a character created by Cryptic would be used in the same sentence as Columbine.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    dont they have to get permissions to use any game footage from city of heroes i doubt anyone would want to be associated with such a slanderous documentry

    (Mayhem Missions got thrown into the issue at the last possible second)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    couldnt you say that when a issue is decided upon that minor features can be added after productions starts wile major features should not be put in current feature deserve their own update/issue

    such as how we were suposed to get flight poses and they were pushed back and same with other systems that were annouced

    wile

    graphic additions should update frequently around the year seprate from normal issues becuase they dont really change gameplay just make the game freash or atleast something else to play with

    the problem is more with spending more time devoted to feature that were promised and/or added late and it could not be done yet
  7. id say player bases need to have a greater value than what they currently are look at how they work currently its either pvp for bases or you have to deal with all that stuff that was just a after thought the toughes problem though is trying to create something that reacts with the entire game

    just like why people ask why arent there any sg missions other than CoP simply becuase they havent been made but how much can you relly do with basesdo you really want to beable to use a computer in base or would you just sit knowing it could be used

    you would have to say there are certain problem with bases

    the number one problem is how much space and storage on the server do they want to spend on it the teoudous ness of creating and object let alone scripting it

    the question then is what make bases fun? nothing really. is it a useful tool? no. id want one for rp value with its current level
    it either pvp in it or you have nothing to do

    the question is how do you make bases fun after your done designing

    Teleport reticle and Patron-granted Respecs are two I should have mentioned, but since our guys have already fixed those internally here, they fell off my list. Sorry.

    As for players who think they will just be albe to drop every mission they get to PL off a contact... think again; we're crazy. Not that crazy.

    [/ QUOTE ] What about thos dreaded go see this person and find outwhat they do.

    those kind of mission suck for player that know what they do and dont ever use them that kind of info need to be and the nearest sighero that you level at. i can see people dropping wincot and go see hero corps anylist and security cheif mission.

    FAULTLINE!

    [ QUOTE ]
    Well the one "we never play" is only one of two zones, Faultline or Boomtown.

    Atleast Boomtown has Babbage spawns for badge w/o having to do Synapse trial...

    I'd like to see Faultline get some love...well...and boomtown...I think those two zones should get refurb'd first, they're both directly connected to decent "safe" zones and both are pretty [censored]'d time to fix em they aren't THAT dangerous...RCS still has 40+lvl rikti in it everywhere...trial would work though I wouldn't expect any kinds of urban renewel happening there...if nothing else I think we should see some rikti inspired tech appearing in there and Rikti structures...bout time they started to take that zone for themselves...not like any heros ever go there

    [/ QUOTE ]

    what you talking about never go to boom town. boomtown used to be the zone just like perez Hollows killed them boath i guess the dev dont want heroes hanging out in a desolate wasteland like we used to do.

    BUT

    the the DEVs up in a new zone they need to make sure they dont kill other zones in the process perez is a good play no new hero ever gose there unless there is a mission
  11. could we have it if the fanta girls spawned dancing around it with fanta drinks

    and in all the flavors
  12. how about a npc with exreeem knockback added to it with ragdoll physics with knock up and knock down added to it in the shape of a ball
  13. what if it spawns with kids playing around it
  14. black tend to go transparent

    none of the textures are showing correctly for me though it might be gfx steeing so it saet then on high still same results

    logos all one color banners all one color

    the color schemes for the wall dont want to stay with the color chosen unless clicked sevral times
  15. how about balls that spawn diffrent things like hamidon and or titan mabey khronos
  16. so you 2 cents what are the rubbles any way pvp is great but im finding the the heros are more evil then villans mabey they are wish for something they cant achive. but anyway pvp is great and if the ballace issue can be word out it can be even better.

    people say well support classes dont compare to what they were in comic books and that true even though they were support or the were a controaler what they lacked in physical they had a equilizer thats why pvp is harder for some more than others. its not a big deal in pvp you still have a chance to win and the good enough

    I posted this in tech but apparently nobody reads there much.
    Not everything works right when architecting a base.
    Items that you would think can stack on desks, tables, or cabinets don't.
    Pictures are not scalably proportionate but gigantic. This includes all artwork not just the modern art.
    If one is not careful, you can get trapped in the base portal and only escape by re-entering your base then logging out and back in.

    [/ QUOTE ]cabinats do stack its the way they were designed what we really need are walls that go to the celing and to allow us to make combination rooms such as cave and teck or arcane and tech and cave and sewer. underground tunnel and tech. it just seems verry limited and to make the base look like any thing you have to use a lot of stuff you dont want.

    Good. Glad you realize that not every SG is massive.

    nor needs to be too manny people vanish with sgs id rather keep it simple it almost feels like workwhen dealig with prestige when it need to me simple like influence but not as simple
  19. still i dont see people taking advantage of decorative item more. if you want a desk like batmans you can make one and have moniters on itand other things.

    Although, there is also the fact that there will have to be a CoH update/new content team, and a separate CoV update/new content team. That, plus server maintainance, is where the monthly fees go.

    Granted, if they share servers, it doesn't factor into the cost so much.

    I could see a separate monthly fee for both, say $15 for one (CoV or CoH), or $22-25 for both. The cost of the CoV box alone won't cover development and continuous updates, and I don't imagine they'll stop updating CoH with Issue 3 or 4...

    I personally will plan for 2 fees. If it's only one at the current price, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    well im baconman i have a job i can pay for boath so it dosent really matter.

    most people will spend 20 dollars after they get paid this only hurts the jobless really.

    XP and I5

    [ QUOTE ]
    [ QUOTE ]
    Couple of changes we're making in I5:

    1) Instead of the first five levels being debt free, the first TEN levels will be debt free.
    hes trying to encourage missions and help low lvls.

    dose this mean we will be debt free on beginning alts and recieve lost exp for characters that hads or still have debt in those lvls

    2) XP debt will be halved on mission maps (that includes outdoor mission maps, too).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The first one is cool, thanks! But could you elaborate a little on the second one, please? Are you saying that a character would get half the debt they get now while on a mission map, or that they earn half as much debt back while on a mission map? Thanks.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    If people are offended by PLers because it causes lag or they steal kills I have a surprise for you.
    Look around the zones! They are not near as crowded as they once were!
    I have been on several times where I was just about the only one in Kings Row. Six months ago the zones were packed.
    If you think the arena is going to bring a ton of people back then you are sadly mistaken. The arena will be popular for about three months then they will die down too.
    For crying out loud, 3 out of every 5 pick-up groups I get into have at least 1 or more PLers on them. If you do everything possible to stop PLers then they will leave and the zones will be even more empty.
    But maybe that is what all the whiners who are complaining about PLing want. To be Burgess from that Twilight Zone episode that just wanted to be the last man on Earth and read his books.
    When that does happen you will miss the PLers because with out their subscription fees the game goes down and you are left sitting in front of your computer asking "Why?"
    I play the game because I like it, and no amount of PLers will ruin my fun.
    Now it is up to those who run the game to figure that out as well.

    [/ QUOTE ]no one care really about plers people hate the spam and harrassment that people who want some thing.manny of us just dont want to deal with it anymore because a new player will come here and see a thread lvl 1-5 in a week or something to that effect and will try to do so.

    but i dont care what you do as long it dose not lead to nerfs and technicly why should you if you are not a asset to the teams success.

    What did the five fingers say to the face?

    SLAP!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Of course, since you're a tanker, that barely hurt. You could use Rage to maybe possibly leave a mark for a short amount of time, but in the 10-15 seconds you are standing there doing nothing tired, I can run away or send you and your teammates to the hospital.

    OH NOEZ, STATESMAN BROKE TANKERZ!11111!!!!one!!!!


    Pink text = just kidding!


    ...or am I? Perhaps something to think about next time you are stuck in the middle of your 10 seconds of downtime.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    but hey, thanks for proving our point! What a powerful way to support our position!

    Thank goodness for blasters who, um, uh, stand 100 yards away and run at the first sign of trouble... heroically running away, though

    pink text = just kidding

    [/ QUOTE ]we dont run we sprint
  24. if there was ingame video it would be on some sort of delay coh dosent have capbilities for video or the missions with compiters would have them instead of roataing textures.
