I trust you'll be happy to learn that I changed Ballista based on feedback in this thread.

Dont take this the wrong way _Castle_ , but you Jonyu, and War Witch are the exception to the rule that Devs dont really talk. Then again Lord Reculse seems to butt in also.

So thanks again for going agianst the grain, and just talking to the players. I am still trying to figure out how to lure you out of Stalkers and into other forums....

actually I was just thinking of starting a thread like this.

Had to log off for work, and the last thing I read was. Goldbricker saying "Yes, I would like to change my long distance service."

What a way to go to work... laughing all the way.

Thanks WW.

Now if we could just lure him into our forum...

I read the Scrapper forum, too. Just only about 10% as often as I read the Stalker forum. I also glance into the general AT, Tanker, Corruptor and Brute forums, but those even less often than the Scrapper forum.

Yes, I spend a lot of time at home reading.

I just wanted to say that your visiblity is VERY much appreciated. Even if I disagree with some ideas, at least I know what is going on.

I really do feel that if you can explain things to me, then I am alot less likely to think (Dooooom) thoughts. And alot more likely to say "hey they are trying, give them a break."

So thank you again for just trying to keep us informed.

Please play with it on Training Room to see if your Masterminds have become TOO powerful.

[/ QUOTE ]
The thing is, how exactly will I know if I'm too powerful? I'm honestly not sure what the baseline is, with Masterminds. It's totally random how quickly my robots can pulp a boss; it takes longer and my bots get trashed if they don't do much knockback to keep the boss at arm's length, but if they and I can keep the boss on his back, it's an easy fight.

lol...aint that the truth.

But what is supposed to be our power level? Once again there is some vague "vision" or design concept.

Should I be able to 3-shot a yellow? Would that be 3 shots from any minion or 3 volleys from all of them. Should all the minion classes be equal? If Zombies become over powered will Mercs and Bots have to suffer nerfing as well?

Maybe the devs can tell us where they want us to be and we can give feedback on if we are above or below that line

I just want to ditto these remarks. I know for a fact that my version of TOO powerful and Cryptic version of TOO powerful are VERY much different. So just like beta, if you can give me some imperical baselines (IE.. 1 minion should kill even con (to you) in x hits... All minions shouild kill even con (to you) in x hits). This I would be gladly able to do and give as accurate feedback as I can to help Positron (and friends) accomplish what they want.

If not.. well... "Nope!!! Not too powerful to me!!!"

If you don't know already, Issuse 6 of City of Heroes contains the entire City of Villains game. This guide will teach you how to launch the CoH client with the new CoV theme.

1. Locate CityOfHeroes.exe, you can find this file in the folder where you've installed the game, the default is C:\Program Files\City of Heroes

2. Create a shortcut to CityOfHeroes.exe, name this shorcut "City of Villains"

3. Right click on the shortcut and choose "Properties"

4. In the Target field, append the following text: (where _ is a space)
_-project_coh_-cov

5. Now your Target field should look something like:
"C:\...\CityOfHeroes.exe" -project coh -cov

6. Click on "Change Icon..." and select the CoV icon

7. Press OK to close the properties window, copy this shortcut to your desktop (or where ever you like)

Now you can use this new shorcut to start the game as CoV!

Please note that this also bypass the updater, if the game yells at you and say something like "incorrect version", it means there is a new patch, and you will need to run the updater first.

This shortcut changes the "theme" (graphics and background music) of the login screen, so it doesn't matter if you want to play a hero or a villain.

Enjoy!

I love you man....

in that real evil villianous way

My question is to CuppaJo,

How was your weekend?

Seriously-Are you going to screen out the I5 questions? I can understand weeding out the attacking and completely negative posts. But if a large majority of the questions are about the effects of I5 having on morale. Would you still look for other questions?

(of course I am making the assumption that you are the Community Leader that will take the 3 questions from America and be giving them to the Developers).

Your an evil tease Statesman. So evil I would think you got bit by a S.P.I.D.E.R. if I didn't know any better.

Personally I did not care for the jump in villain levels. One issue they are fighting Zombies (levels from 1 to 20). Next they are tangling with Carnies (40+). I was hoping to watch them advance in powers.

But that said, I will miss the banter and stuff between them. And all the comments on War Witch's Hair style. Are they gone for good in April? Or will they make other appearances?

Top Cow is a great boom for the comic. So it will be intresting to see where it goes.

Just a note to Geko,

The affected foes should only run far enough as to get out of range of the ST Terrify attack, so ST will switch to another target.


[/ QUOTE ]

This is not true as of 3/1/05. I had X-5th columns and Freaks (on another mission) Running all around. Way way out of range for the ST to be effective.

[ QUOTE ]
Once the affected foes run out of range, they will tremble in Fear (even those not affected by the cloak of fear).

[/ QUOTE ]

Also it was spaming constantly on to the 5 mobs, Keeping all but 1 running at all times (the one left was held).

I did repec into Spectral Terror based on Geko's report in this thread. It just doesnt seem to be the same power that he is talking about. Just thought Geko would like to know.


But it did keep me from dieing
