Quote:Pretty sure that was asked at least once, they were only taking questions about the new trial though (besides answering a stupid question about supergroup prestige for some reason).Here's something I'm surprised no one has asked:
Is the Hybrid slot going to offer another level shift?
My suspicion is no, though. -

Quote:Good news! You're not forced to. Nobody is holding a gun to your head.Your logic is sound but highly flawed. Nothing changes the fact that it is a powerset for a VIP restricted class (I still say you should not even be able to purchase them). As a paying subscriber there is absolutely no reason I should be forced to spend points on a powerset..any powerset, period. Frills and Fluff, sure but nothing that is a part of the game itself.
Pre-Freedom, how often did we get new powersets? A couple every few months? Sometimes? How many have we gotten since Freedom went live? Beam Rifle, Time Manipulation, Titan Weapons, Street Justice, Darkness Control, Darkness Affinity, Dark Assault, Beast Mastery, Staff Fighting -- none of this is even counting powerset proliferation, which while not as resource-intensive as fully new sets does take time and effort. So that's 9 new powersets, in 6 months. And you'd better believe the devs have even more amazing stuff coming down the pike.
With Freedom you already get more for your sub, the only way you're getting more than THAT is if you pay, or just wait until you have the points to spend on it. You can wait. It's not the end of the world if you don't grind a Staff Fighting Scrapper to 50 immediately. -
Quote:Basically every issue since launch.So while this might be considered a security and/or process nightmare, I don't think marketing is going to be affected any way other than positively in the end. Unless, of course, the expectations become so enormous that the product when finally delivered falls short of those expectations, but who's ever heard of that happening in a MMO?

I want some m*******************g Snakes in my m*******************g Lore slot!

Yeah sorry, I don't care if it is April 1st, you don't joke about blowing up a hospital (not in any kind of a public forum, anyway). At all.

Quote:Thank you for agreeing with my suggestion.I don't want to see the Vahzilok continue on through the 20s and 30s. What I want for the good doctor is to make a comeback in the 40s with a brand new, VERY different contingent of monsters. No longer just trying to cure death, but rather "improve" mankind, Vahz has been biding his time and producing a whole new kind of super human - bigger, stronger, faster, smarter. No mere lumbering oafs too stupid to breath, these new creatures are vicious, deadly and very intelligent, collaborating together to form their own brand new race with Dr. Vahzilok at the helm.
If people are too stupid to accept the cost of eternal life, then it's simpler to replace them with something better, right? -
I can't even remember the last time I saw a Coolant used (when it was needed, anyway) on any level range of the respec trial. I wouldn't worry about it.
Quote:Because the devs that work on bug fixes are clearly the same as those that work on concept art, graphics, and coding powers. Oh wait, no they're not.Sorry but the devs are too busy making ligers for us to buy at inflated prices.
Folks, it's been 8 years, maybe we can stop trotting out this hilariously false equivalency now? -

Quote:You folks are reading way too much (or perhaps not enough) into what I said. I was referring to forum PvP, not in-game PvP. Elaborating any further would start to violate forum rules and play into the OP's hands, so let's just leave it at that.Curious as to what you mean by this? Surely, you aren't being prejudice against a poster just because of a forum title they have, or that the forum title has the letters P v P in it?

Quote:Pfft, you ain't a real player until you can solo the Seed of Hamidon with Walk toggled on.There's also a wide range of skill levels in the game. There are people who find base settings a challenge and people who crank everything up at level 1. The major difference is that in many ways CoH has always been more casual in the gameplay area, and with a few exceptions most players aren't going to act elitist and condescending just because you can't solo a Giant Monster blindfolded with one powerset tied behind your back. (Don't ask how you get the blindfold on the GM; it isn't easy.)

It's because he wasn't portrayed as an actual god in the Thor movie, the Asgardians were just aliens in command of powerful indistinguishable-from-magic technology (which has mostly been the case in Marvel lore anyway, depending on who's writing it).

Man, that's straight out of the Silver Age.
"Batman, why are you trying to blow up that hospital???" "I HAVE TO!" -
Quote:You are aware that he's the final arch-villain of Positron's Task Force Part 2, right? Blowing up the Faultline Dam sounds like a bigger and better plan to me.Thanks for the sarcasm. Point I was making is it kind of just ruins the taste of victory and progress heroes get of actually managing to stop a credible threat and save the day if he's just gonna come back later on with a "bigger and better plan".
Not to mention the eleventy-jazillion plots of Nemesis... -
Quote:Although I'm certainly no fan of that movie, you're misunderstanding what happened. Nero's time travel created a new timeline, the timeline he came from still exists, which is sort-of consistent with Star Trek temporal mechanics (see: Parallels).But yes, yes I was. From the little bit I played, the continuity makes absolutely zero sense. Massively botched time-travel-changing-the-time-line result game? (even though I enjoyed the movie, it made no sense as well... the events of TNG/etc could have never possibly happened, unless you're going to claim that THAT timeline that they came from was also the result of people meddling with the past to destroy the sun or whatever the hell it was)

Quote:Nah, CoH has always had a pretty good community. Honestly, I think if anything it's gotten a little nastier than it used to be.Thanks for all the great input, everyone. I'll be honest - when I posted this I worried that I was going to return to eleventy-eleven pages of vicious shouting - "This games is perfect ya N00b! Go play [insert name of game here] if you can't hang with the REAL playahs!!!"
Seems like a great community (the first time I played I didn't do much on the web in terms of forums (fora?) or similar...I'm assuming it's either always been this friendly, or you've weeded out D3ATHNINJAH69 and his annoying friends (my apologies if you actually use the name D3ATHNINJA##, it was meant in the general sense). -
I guess it's possible I forgot how numbers work, but it seems unlikely.

Auto-correction re-enabled, everything works again.
Weirder still, just noticed this issue on a phpBB-based forum I frequent. How peculiar times two... -
How to revamp the Mastermind:
1. Fix the damn pet AI.
2. ???
3. Profit! -
Quote:He doesn't have any idea one way or the other. Hence the question.That's not what he was referring to. Follow the link. Apparently it was a player suggestion 5 years ago that the devs never really commented on, so I don't see where he'd get the idea that there might be "word" on it...
Incarnate Powers pretty much fill the roll of what Signature Powers would be. Not entirely, mind you, but it's hard to see where they would fit now. -
Quote:Oh, well it's a good thing we defeated him, lord knows super villains never come back with bigger and better plans.As to OP, I kind of like seeing certain enemy groups stay in their level ranges. It doesn't make too much sense to have someone like Dr. Vhazilok or the Outcasts in the big leagues with Arachnos and the 5th Column. Plus it takes away from that awesome story arc where you actually defeat Dr. Vhazilok in his lair and put a stop to his creations. His group also does a pretty good job of looking really good despite their age, what with the exposed muscle on zombies, grotesque and unhygienic doctors, and the doctor himself being a true walking horror show.

Last time someone made a thread like this they got shouted down by people who didn't like drawing attention to such things.
Just saying.
