I think it's pretty telling that both people in this thread who are taking this so "seriously" have "PvP Bootcamp Mentor" as a title.
Move along folks, nothing to see here. -
Don't forget Endless Destiny when you reach your Incarnate powers.

Definitely been suggested several times. I believe the devs have said that it's not technically feasible or even possible, but I could be making that up, especially since it's April Fool's Day.

Quote:They remedied that "catastrophe" before it even went live so I don't know what you're talking about. The CoT also isn't the only revamped enemy group now, we now have new Banished Pantheon and Tsoo (and Knives of Artemis, kinda-sorta). This is what I'm suggesting, not really a wholesale revamp of the original group like the CoT but rather additional mobs encountered in the endgame.Originally Posted by Dante
As much as I would love to see higher level and more grotesque Vahzilok (always one of my favourite groups in game), after the Circle of Thorns catastrophe, I don't want them to touch any more groups in game no matter how 'dated' their appearance may be.

Quote:Yes, I'm certainly not suggesting that voice acting in video games is always bad all the time, but MMOs don't really tend to have the budget for non-terrible voice acting. Some of the voice acting in the game you described actually isn't too terrible (the recent cut scenes were neat to watch, even if it was jarring for your character to have unspoken text-only dialogue in the same scene), but then some of it is just bad, and it's not really consistent when you encounter it.Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
It depends on the quality of the voice acting. The "voice acting" in other MMOs has been pretty horrible (you click NPC and get "<generic common voice greeting>"). In one particular MMO that's themed after a long running series of scifi TV shows/movies, you'd get some contacts that'd read their mission text... except it wouldn't be ones that were main characters or anything, it would be some random side character that you'll never see again. Now that's a "wtf?"!
Voice acting of a similar quality to that of the newest games like Skyrim (I always have subtitles on as well) would be nice, especially for that mid-mission text that just flashes on your screen, or during the cut scenes. But, at this point, that's really not a reasonable thing to do. Having only new content with voices would be a bit weird... especially when they bring in an older character that we've already developed our own voices in our heads... it would be jarring!
Then you have City of Heroes, which is a first-tier superhero MMO (not that that's hard to do), but certainly not a first-tier MMO. Paragon Studios can't even justify localization expenses anymore, they're not gonna splurge for voice actors, and no offense to the devs, but I don't particularly want to hear them trying to voice their own characters. -
Last night I had a dream where I was playing CoH, although I was half-playing and half-actually as the character (you know, one of those dream things). It was my Ill/Storm Controller, inexplicably a recently-made character street-sweeping in what I can only assume was Kings Row. I wanted to get a starter apartment (which I guess was a game option, basically like a base), so I went into this building that was filled with Vahzilok. Long story short I ended up being chased down a stairwell by the Vahzilok hoard, desperately trying to hold/confuse them one at a time, until I was saved by Adam Scott from NBC's Parks & Rec (yeah, I don't know either). Later he ended up showing me this place where you could get a base set up and it was right next to everything you needed (trainers, auction house, crafting stations).
ANYWAY
My point is that the Vahzilok in my dream looked sort of like what we currently have in-game, only a lot more varied, and a lot weirder-looking. Grotesque creatures composed of a few disparate body parts (a head with arms and legs, for example), that sort of thing. With the advent of Incarnate-level versions of enemy groups, I'd like to see an upgraded Vahzilok somewhere down the line. Not content with his current progress, Dr. Vahzilok has turned to new ways of raising an undead army, perhaps mystical and/or Well-derived sources (fallen Incarnates risen to do his bidding, perhaps?). -
I couldn't not read that in Takei's voice. Oh my...

Quote:Why are you assuming they're at all related? No name changes for pedantry, thanks.Originally Posted by Lycanus
Kraken tentacles...the Kraken is already a beast that exists in CoH lore in, granted I could see how the modern kraken would be named after a mythical one, also, this is a minor gripe now, but if you change the names because of the previously named slime-monster kraken, I should note that the kraken is a Norse myth....perhaps Scylla would be a better term (though as I write this, I remember how Scylla actually had several heads, so maybe the mouthed-tentacles on the Paragon kraken are more Scylla like)....in any case "Lusca tentacle" would have been fine...but I'm not sure how the kraken got there before the Rikti invasion...also the tents were too large for the Kraken so that's rather unusual...I suppose you might have plans for that, but it still stood out as a "huh" moment for me

You jest, but there are people who would seriously prefer text to be replaced with (ugh) voice acting.

Yes, I'm set at GMT-5, but with corrections always on or auto, the time at the bottom of the page displays as GMT-4.

1. Automatic detection isn't working properly, at least not in the United States where it is observed. My time is showing as 12:01 AM when it is actually 11:01 PM.
2. Turning corrections "always on" changed nothing. Turning corrections "always off" changed it to the correct time. These two settings may be WAI but the intention seems off; since we're currently in DST, it seems like the correction should currently be on, then turn off (whether automatically or manually) when DST ends later in the year. -
He's going to. His point is that he wants to be reminded when it will be available for Flashback. Which, eh.

So you have to grind through it multiple times.
I agree, arc completion bonuses would be nice. -
Quote:Two points:Originally Posted by Primantiss
Pretty much this. After years of being hounded; they finally have rigs for 4-legged critters. Of course they are going to abuse the hell out of it.
1. Clearly the devs literally cannot do anything right; give the playerbase what they've been begging for after 7 years and a month later they start complaining about it.
2. damn you for that pun, DAMN YOU SIR -

So no one else noticed the oddly off-point mention of Prestige Power Slide?

They've just uploaded a new picture on Facebook for us to add a caption too, but in the top right of the background is the "cover" for part 7 of WWD:
So, is it really Rularuu, or is it Darrin Wade starting to take control Rularuu's power? -

This is my favorite issue since Striga. That's saying something! I adore the soloable Incarnate Path.
One thing though, this *should* be a true level 50 incarnate zone, but until it's level gated and VIP only it won't be. -
Quote:I'm disappointed that City of Heroes even exists.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
Disappointing players has been this game's specialty since Issue 1. Its just that the devs have become so much better at it. They used to disappoint players by taking things away. They improved significantly a few years ago by disappointing players by doing nothing. Now they do it by giving things away. That's impressive.

Actually the OP has a good idea and there is no reason why it could not be done aside from unwillingness.
