It seems that 'Soon' now has an actual time frame!

This.. with added jetpacky goodness.

I can’t justify spending £8.99 a month on a old game AND another £6 for it’s packs, especially when they offer so little value for money

I for one didn't realise the booster packs were brought out monthly.

Simple solution. Don't buy it.

This.

Still can't argue with an opinion. If they don't like it, fine, other do like it and have spent money on it already.

I wonder if power colours are universal for the character i.e. regardless of costume change or if you can specify different colours for different costumes?

It would indicate to me that either the cloud aura is broken in regards to colour tint or the Wiki is in error.

It's purely down to aesthetics for me, whilst I've yet to get into any serious RP in CoH, I enjoy creating a character with as much reasoning behind what he/she does has available as possible. For instance my latest Hero is a normal man but I want him to use the leaping poolset so in order for him to achieve the incredible feats of leaping, he has boots capable of doing so.

I'd like it to be fairly obvious that he's using technology to achieve this rather than a super ability and a coloured cloud aura would do this as, at the moment, I think the greyish aura is rather subtle (I'll have to play a bit more to see it the effect 'as is' grows on me).

Personally I'd prefer a piston type SFX on landing (possibly upon jumping too) than a cloud of dust buuuut you gotta make do with whats available.

However, I made this thread in order to find out if the aura was broken, if it was my PC or if the wiki description was in error.

I'm not breaking the CO NDA by stating this.

Wouldn't you be breaking it by stating that you are tied to the CO NDA?

In the past most NDA's I've been part of stated that you do not disclose the fact that you are part of it! First rule of NDA is... etc..

I noticed that too the oter day when comparing the accolade powers available to my main Hero and my main Villain. Compared to the Villain accolades, the Villain ones are a lot harder/longer to get.

I don't particularly want 'like for like' powers/accolades but having similar accolades with attainability in the same ballpark would be a decent idea.

I've done a search as I generally always try to do and I couldn't find anything other than people asking for the actual boots to be animated (which is something I'd like to see btw), so I decided to go ahead and ask this question, if it's already been answered please point me in the right direction!

I've read on the Wiki that "Jump landings in Piston Boots produce a cloud of smoke based on the primary color of the boots." Now it didn't distinguish between normal and Super so I assume it means any type of jump, but yesterday on my lvl 2 alt (so no leaping pool powers yet) the effect produced was just lighter or darker shades of grey/white clouds rather than the 'primary' colour.

I assumed that the primary colour was the main colour of the boot and not the detailing colour but either way I coloured the boots to two different bright colours and yet the aura just stayed greyish. It seems, at least to me last night, that when it comes down to colour, they either aren't working as suggested or the colouring itself is too subtle.

Is this a known thing? Is anyone else experiencing this?

I have been thinking. Now that we have the tech for changing animations of powers... will we get the "/flyemote"'s in form of alternate animations for Flight?

[/ QUOTE ]

/signed this is the first thing i thought of when they started changes power animations... Please please please incorporate this!

[/ QUOTE ]

Out of interest, are the two things even vaguely related?

[/ QUOTE ]

I guess so - I16 allows people to pick animations for Martial Arts and Super Strength, so wondering and/or hoping they extend the idea to the Flight pool seems totally ok

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed, they seem perfectly related to me. I would prefer my characters to automatically fly in a chosen style than having to use a keybind or type the emote command out.

Exactly, but looking back at some of Madge's more famous publicity shots, it's remarkable just how similar they are in style, setting etc.. to Marilyns. So while Madge has made some original looks, they are definitely not all original.

Funny reading some people's comments about silly colours for powers etc..

Well, if your that serious about what colours powers "should be" or "Should not be" then you don't have to take other players with "wrong" coloured powers very seriously do you. Enjoy your own tweaked power colours and let others enjoy their own, it is a game after all, everyone pays a subscription.

Personally I think a lot of the more mature players will change their power colours to something appropriate to their character (I know my Hero's ice powers will have a lot less blue in it) and if they RP, it will be something explainable too.

At least the others were having a conversation, despite it being off topic. If you have a problem with +1's report them.

Well I think Bettys' look is as original as all of Madonnas'.

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed, Madonna never took any of her styles from Marilyn Monroe at all.

Also i'd like to take the time to point out how difficult it might be and how much time it might take (Again factoring the GR production in the pipeline) to create, adjust new proliferated power sets never mind creating an open customizable character creation process including powers.

I think this Issue despite some peoples negativity is fully fleshed out with things that will please many. They might not be large and noticeable changes but for some who cried for ease of use and day to day changes its nice to see they are fixing the foundations of this game clearly for bigger and better things to come.

I did get a call from the company asking if it was correct that I bought the same thing thrice in a row

Well at least they rang you and didn't just block you for 24 or so hours.

Hopefully that key bit of info will kill the buffer bug once and for all.

"OTHER FEATURES TO BE ANNOUNCED"

Before complaining about assumed lack of storyline/missions/content, why not wait to see what these "other features" are. Honestly, some posts on these forums sound like they're being made by spoilt, impatient kids.

Anyway, would like to see Superspeed's colour customisable... or a powerslide power being made available...

[ QUOTE ]
No it wasn't, but some people hardly care about that as long as they get they're F'in +1!

I'm sick'n'tired of that F'in [censored]!

QQ moar pls.

oh and +1

Plans never completely survive first contact with the enemy, the consumer.. or the design process apparently.

Morbo the Newsmonster:
PERCENTS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep good point, got myself mixed up! Greater population = More idiots but also Greater Population = More decent people too... is what I was trying (and, it seems, failing) to get across.

Cheers Morbo.

Don't stalkers have chain type attacks?

Perhaps... is it something that was thought of for for inclusion in other AT's in some way so that when a player got a whole set of powers in a particular chain, people can see what full chains a character has (like the powerset enhancement set things seen in peoples details) or the player gets a bonus... but was abandoned but the code not removed?

My only guess.

I switched my main Villain and Hero Characters from Defiant to Union, mainly because I have friends there and my characters were originally created on Defiant a long while before I came back to CoX.

You get idiot players on any server but although a greater population = a greater % of those idiots, it also means a greater % of decent people and I've met a lot of decent people on Union which, for me, makes the move on both blue and red side worth it.

I have alts on defiant but I've not touched them in ages.

[ QUOTE ]
I started originally in Defiant because the name. Union is not spaceship in Star Trek but Defiant is That's my reason and only reason. They builded Defiant because threat of Borg. So Defiant is cool name and Union not

[/ QUOTE ]

Strangly enough, thats the reason why I made my characters there initially. But while Defiant is a cool name, Server with friends > Server with Cool Name.

All they need is to take the rep decay away and people might actually spend more casual time PvPing

[/ QUOTE ]

I know I would. Even if the points were built up and only shown in character details for a record of how many kills/defeats you've had (or just kills) and nothing else, I'd PvP a lot more.

WTB Maelstrom's chest detail (or something similar)

One of the new rebreathers goes with my costume brilliantly and while it'd be an expensive costume part I think it's worth it just for that, however that said, while none of my current characters are Mad Scientist types, my main Hero is a Scientist so while I wouldn't use it in serious RP, it was fun to make a Mr Hyde part of him as a huge creature as a result of an injected serum!

As for limits on cards, I have a wife... so while I can spend money I do have to endure her wrath if I'm found out! Unnecessary Expenditures indeed...
