  1. Escort and kidnap missions should be fail-able by allowing the foes inside the mission to be able to defeat the victim. At the least, probably after they have defeated you.

    If you fail enough such missions, your character should get a reputation for getting people killed in escort missions, and so your contacts will think better than to give you any more.

    Yeah... really, what am I thinking?

    Soooooo, then... I want this:



    While you want this:
  3. Actually, we need a Super Dog Pet! It's like the normal dog, except it has super speed, a "super bark" ranged sonic attack, and has laser beam eyes.

    That being said...they definitely need to add a bite attack. Just one attack animation...very minor damage...only attacks the handlers target. Just something like that to actually make the dog fit in...somewhat.
    I don't know if I'd like my dog to have an [ankle bite] power. That would mean they'd probably make him con as foe to your enemies as well. I would get very mad if...

    Oh hmm, I guess they could add an automatic [vengeance] that triggers upon the poor doggie's death. You know, because... "You just killed my dog. BIG mistake!"
  5. Wow, every new addition and change, always with the complaints. Always! The way some people go on, I'm thinking maybe the devs should open up a new server and call it "Echo of Issue 1"...

    In other news, The Sleeper Has Awakened!!!
  6. Most certainly.

    I get lots of inf that drops from defeated foes, and so I use that to get even more inf.

    I expect it to be based in the evil goatee universe and involve the Puddle of Annoyance. I expect there to be plot holes, idiot balls, and character hijacking, which someone will point out and we'll argue about it for pages on the forums. Someone will call me names, and several people will post in a thread that is clearly about lore to proclaim that they don't care about lore, only shinies.

    I expect typos and spelling and grammatical errors. These will be /bugged in beta but will go live anyway and remain until the servers shut down.

    I expect someone to immediately complain that they can't solo the content with their SOd FF/Elec Defender or Blaster with no defense who doesn't bother with inspirations. Suggestions to use temp powers or inspirations will be met with "but I shouldn't have to, the game is balanced around SOs." I expect the solo Incarnate path to be balanced around IOs, but no dev to actually say so.

    I expect it to be exclusively heroic in tone. Someone will complain. Someone else will imply that players who play villains are villains in real life

    I expect cut scenes.

    I expect it to be significantly slower than trial progression, even for a strong soloist.

    In each thread that discusses the announced content, I expect a statement along the lines of "if you don't like to team why are you playing an MMO" on the first page.
    Both the devs and the players have become quite predictable now, haven't we?

    I have to agree with you, though. I'm willing to bet this is exactly how it will turn out.

    What would be cool is if part of the Shadow Shard turned into that Incarnate Zone. Or at least one of those Incarnate zones? I know that I've asked several times on this board for the Shadow Shard to be opened up to villains, with their own zones in the SS as well as both PvP and co-op zones. I'd say that having Incarnate related material would fit perfectly there, as well!

    Merits

    How about something like this? It's just off the top of my head:

    9999 Mission Architect Tickets = 1 Reward Merit
    60 Reward Merits + 10,000,000 Inf = 1 Astral Merit
    120 Reward Merits + 100,000,000 Inf = 1 Empyrean Merit

    1 Incarnate Thread = 25 Reward Merits
    1 Incarnate Shard = 20 Reward Merits

    Why five more merits for a thread? 'Cause that makes it seem more important, I guess!
  11. Is this the reason why any vet base items left that you claimed when the old vet system was still in place, but have not yet placed, are now unplaceable?

    I always get an error when I try, and it fails.

    16 cores anyone?

    If CoH ever switches over from using texture maps to ray tracing, I hope at some point they put the Utah teapot somewhere in the game.

    I know when I tried to take care of my friend's cats while he was away, one of them decided to split for a while to who-knows-where, and didn't return until he did. She didn't like that there was some human she barely knew trying to figure out how to go about feeding cats. Hint: it's not exactly like how you feed a dog, which was my only experience at the time!
  14. Dog lover vs. cat lover flame wars are rather extremely epic. I predict it will cause this thread to be locked.
  15. I'd like an in-game pet that looked like my real-life pet.



    She died in 1994. I still miss her.

    That's much less than the cost of a real German Shepard.

    City of Sewers

    I can't go down there, I hate sewers! They smell like poo gas!

    Just because I'm a super hero doesn't mean I have to smell poo gas...

    SG bases attack!

    It would be cool to have a new "danger" room type, in which defensive items could be placed that always con as a foe and which attack.

  21. This whole thread is just a gimmick designed to make you disillusioned enough to stop playing the game so that the OP can have the servers to himself.

  23. I wonder if this was the big surprise they were talking about, all along.

    Frankencomputer

    Finally, finally, the GT 440 was delivered to me! I installed it, and made a clean re-install (as well as an upgrade) of the video drivers. So far, none of the problems I had before have even come up.

    And it looks like I can play the game! Yeah, I can't dial up all the settings to 11 without it turning into a slideshow, but who cares? I can actually play, which is better than not being able to play.

    Still, after all these problems, I find myself unable to trust this system yet. So I'll have to run it through its paces for a while, and see if it doesn't break somehow. But as of right now, I'm convinced of the MSI motherboard's problems with its x16 slots, and that it took a perfectly good GT 240 down with it. Sigh.
