I think they can't make SS faster due to engine limitations. If I recall correctly, anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, I also recall reading in a dev post that making SS significantly faster would result in nonstop rubberbanding as the network couldnt keep up.
No link, sorry.

To make them more useful could Boxing be changed to use exactly the same animations as Brawl? It's little more than a fast recharge filler attack anyway, and would at best be a slightly higher damage replacement for brawl for Brutes in particular - it would allow it to be used by weapon sets without causing redraw, and occasionally use the kick/shield bash animations where appropriate.

[/ QUOTE ]

I cannot see devs changing a power called Boxing to (in some cases) kick the bad guys, sorry.

[ QUOTE ]
So, is there any pictures of Atlas, Talos or M1? Only seen statues of them. Some action pictures of Atlas be cool, like from his last battle. Thanks. Had a dull moment

[/ QUOTE ]

From what I can recall, no official pictures of these people have been released.
Did you check the official (US) site, under Media? Thats where all screenshots, wallpapers, comics etc should be.

Did a quick check ingame. Did not see "imp horns" anywhere. Perhaps you were thinking of "Lil devil" ? Those are only available on female models (no idea why).

My guess (probably already said by others): EU game/servers will keep operating. EU forum/website will be moved/merged to the US one.
I hope the americans are ready for us, there's a reason their rednames fear to tread here :3

I've bugged this, but not sure if anyone's experienced it.

I was on my cape mish, and having reached Justin Wossname in IP, he told me to go to Talos to protect the memorial. I decided to use my Mission TP power cuz it as a long way. So hey presto... fertang, one misison TP later and I was in... The Hollows.

[censored]? Instead of going to the Mission in Talos, I end up in a random slot in the Hollows.

Beaucoup the oddness!

[/ QUOTE ]

Obvious question: did you have any other missions open? was the 'protect the memorial' mission set as active (red marker)?
If a player has more than one mission open and no active mission set then the mission TP will go to the first (oldest) open mission.
Might be nice if it did a prompt/message when used with no active mission set but we have what we have.


And yes I have also been ported to the insides of buildings a few times. Clicking the door to enter has always worked so far, though it does look weird.

Yes, because they wouldn't be serving any food in the insane asylum...

They live on a diet of electricity and enemas.... sometimes both.

[/ QUOTE ]

That sounds like some supervillain's origin story. Not one you'd want to stand in the same room as, but that's hardly surprising, is it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Damn I dont have any elec based villains, well I have one but she already has a back story............

[/ QUOTE ]

There is a mayhem villain NPC with red elec powers and a similar backstory, as I recall.

[ QUOTE ]
Yes, I know that, but how do I get to choose the rewards asociated with the 12 month vetran award??

[/ QUOTE ]

For each character, under Badges choose Veteran in the dropdown. The rewards should be there with little 'claim' buttons, that you can click.

[ QUOTE ]
What annoys me greatly is that I used to be able to use print screen when logging on, character selection screen and when I'm at the tailor, to get really good screenshots of my alts.

..and, boo, hoooh, can't do that anymore...

[/ QUOTE ]

If CoX doesnt save a screenshot on pressing Print Screen then that screenshot should be copied to system clipboard (the default behaviour of Print Screen). So, alt-tab to MSPaint, Edit->Paste and it should be there.

Temp powers from story arcs and badge missions can be restocked indefinitely through Ouroboros, except some which only give 'echo' versions for balance reasons. Note that missions which arent parts of any arcs and dont give a badge cannot be repeated through ouro even if they give a temp power.

Shivan and nuke temp powers from PvP zones can be restocked, however the stealth/phase ones arent repeatable.

The safeguard/mayhem temp powers are only granted once and cannot be restocked. However the side mission temps should be accessible by doing the safeguard/mayhem multiple times - but the odds of getting the one you want are pretty low.

And, as said above some of the veteran rewards grant 'prestige' powers. Check HERE for details.

Okay, Just checked on Union. I have the rest on my Power Tray as usual.

Could it be a server specific problem?

[/ QUOTE ]

Clarification: people are not complaining about not receiving the 'rest' power. They are complaining about this power not being automagically placed into their actionbar when it is received.
And yes, I have noticed this too. I think it started after the most recent patch.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]

You need to ensure the mission is selected using the button beforehand i.e. ensure the mish target on the minimap is red not yellow - just clicking on the mish but not selecting it will leave you at the door of the first mish on your list.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which means I'd have to go to the mission and enter it to make that the case - at which point I no longer need the teleport power.

[/ QUOTE ]

Around the time the Mac pack was released there was a patch that fixed the "Select mission" button to be visible/working when not teamed.

[ QUOTE ]
Got busy with the new cozzie bits :B

...soooo shiny!

The sg version

better pic of the helm

[/ QUOTE ]

I am surprised more people have not posted what they have made with the new pieces. For what its worth here is mine.

[ QUOTE ]
Some rather simple (in theory, at least -eyeroll- ) ideas, simply to give a few more jumpy moments to the game.

<snip>

[/ QUOTE ]

We could also ask devs to shamelessly steal from another upcoming MMO and move some of the street mobs indoors:
into non-instanced, timed, dynamically spawned (when someone gets close enough to an unused door) mini-missions (like the side missions in safeguards/mayhems).

I agree with this suggestion.

And also... I want the valkyrie sword to be available for dual blades as well, not just broadsword ><

[/ QUOTE ]

thing is its v unlikely that any changes will happen being it a paid thing.
personally i love it. the bumps work well with the toons ive used it on hehe

[/ QUOTE ]

Cyborg auras were changed to work from level 1 some time after the pack was released, so I think it is possible for the Valkyrie sword to be added to dual blades, maybe katana/ninja blade.
Adding a version of the modeled (as opposed to a skin on baseline model) boots without the knee guard is less likely but I wouldnt say "never".

Timing depends on where in the release cycle the game is. There is a "fix/balance" patch on US test so a small I13.4 patch will probably happen during January.

My favorites are all red side as I havent played heroes much.

Black Scorpion - no complicated plans or silly beliefs for him. He wants power and will do anything for anyone to get more "upgrades". A rational person, despite the occasional going too far. Plus he got Silver Mantis who really likes him - cant argue with success

Lord Recluse - he may have the powers of a dark god yet the guy still carries a gun - thats badass

Vernon von Grun - makes villainy feel good without any 'dark hero' silliness.

[ QUOTE ]

emotes don't seem to work with shields drawn either

[/ QUOTE ]

As I recall reading on US forums this is intentional as emotes shouldnt work with any weapons drawn (and shields 'count' as weapons). The reason given was huge clipping or huge amount of work to determine and mark the 'safe', non-clipping emotes for each weapon.
Or I could be wrong, it does happen.

Looks like the updater was trying to make a backup of itself (.prv - previous) but couldnt. I suggest checking if the updater file and/or folder it is in arent set to "read only" (right click on file/folder, properties, under general) or perhaps the user that launched the updater didnt have the needed permissions.

[ QUOTE ]
Sorry to say FE, but Nibiru is right. The OP is a Hero and those are the only 3 Defeat badges between Spider Smasher and Venomous. The ones you list are correct for Villains though (and notice that you listed Coldhearted and Weed Wacker too).

[/ QUOTE ]how do you work out if it a hero or villain?

[/ QUOTE ]

The villainside text for Spider Smasher is different from heroside.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm a bit drunk, but I still agree. CoX doesn't deal with fog realisticaally or efficienttly. and where is my screenie?

[/ QUOTE ]

How about two?

First a screenie taken in the evening to show that, while the fog is there, glowlines are shown through the fog. Whether thats good or bad I'm not sure.
And second a screenie taken with Depth of field effects enabled - there is some blurring at distance but (IMHO) the fogged areas should be significantly more blurred to look realistic.
Note that both screenies were taken with world detail at 200% which made my graphics card squeal.


And on the subject of graphics, can we have a non-transparent moon please? I could see stars right through in the darker area (which a full moon shouldnt have anyway).

I get new active contacts when levelling my second build, so this may be possible. I might try it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Tried that with a level 50 when I 13 went live. Neither newly added ("o hai thar" notifications) nor existing/known outleveled contacts with empty bars would give me any missions. RWZ and Cim repeatable missions were offered via 'Call' no matter how far I had or had not leveled on second build.

However, I also recall being able to do missions for outleveled contacts by not actually leveling up on a lowbie alt - not too sure on this part, needs more testing.

So it would seem that missions offered are based on highest security level of two builds.
