(shrug) Then don't use it. I guess you don't like the flypose emotes either.
And it *IS* a bogus claim and it did NOT come from the devs. The devs simply pointed out what would be involved in the full set of turn/strafe/etc movements. Naysayers then take this and claim it can't be done any other way, completely ignoring the existence of the flypose emotes.
Quote:To add walking into the game we're looking at anywhere from 15 to 75 animations. That would get us a single 'style' of walking for the male, female, and huge player models. Doubtful that we'd ever be able to create a single walk animation that would make everyone happy...based on the mixed feedback about flight poses and the new hover animations.
We're not opposed to adding walking into the game...it's just really hard to prioritize it over so many other things that require animation time.Quote:You know what, I was wrong...we actually need 15-90 animations
Walk forward
Walk backward
Walk Strafe-Left
Walk Strafe-Right
Stop walking, transition back to ready
Times 3 for each body type: male, female, and huge
Times 6 for the various 'modes' to both cover the different hand/arm positions and to properly transition back into the appropriate 'ready' stance when you stop walking: Ready, Combat Ready, Weapon Ready, Dual Ready (used by katana and archery as well), 'Shotgun' Ready, and Shield Ready
15-90 animations needed to do a 'walk button'. (Or 105 if we wanted to accomodate the two-handed club stance as well.)
Quote:You gotta go back to the original comments on them, when they were random or cycled through the options sequentially. Even today, some of you guys have strong feelings about certain flight poses (or all of the current options) not fitting the image of their character that they have in their noggin. I would expect walks to elicit much the same type of response. Compounding that is aside from making a different walk for the male, female, and huge body types the possiblity of doing multiple styles of walking for each is so un-feasible it's essentially impossible.
Saying all that do you really think that he, as a dev would really be happy doing "just a walk emote"? Do you think the staff would be happy doing "just a walk emote". Especially for something "not everyone will like, and take more time to do than pretty much anything else". Also, note that the fly animation/flypose WAS brought up during the conversation and if he would have been willing to settle for "/e walkpose" he would have brought it up during the conversation.Quote:There's a difference between 'not everyone will like it, but it'll only take a couple of hours' and 'not everyone will like it, and it'll take more time to do than pretty much anything else'
Really, the 'not everyone will like it part' is a very, very minor concern.
I never said I never want walking in game. I'm basically saying it more than likely won't happen and would rather have fixes on animation bugs and new powersets and npcs, which the majority of the players would want. I know some people want it, but I'd be willing to bet it's not that big of a percentage it wouldn't be a big chunk. And besides you're basically doing the same thing by keep saying "everyone will be happy with just /e walkpose!"Quote:Originally Posted by Ironblade
And now we see the reason for your automatic naysaying. It's a feature that you personally see no use for.
Accept that others want it very much. No one is going to force you to use it.
So in other words Pot: "Hey, Kettle! YOU'RE BLACK!" -
Says he has 3 posts, but when you click on view his posts it comes up w/ a can't find posts.
Therefore, based on available info I would assume Red Skeleton is a new Dev Red Name who has only posted in the Closed Beta portion of the forums and probably was given a red name because he either worked on a) Power Customization b) the new Difficulty system or c) the new Server Queue function.
My money is on B. Possibly A. -
Yeah, I've been noticing it's forgetting I've read a post already as well.

Foamy: you have the On My Goddess listings all wrong:
First, the series is up to vol 32
Second, the volumes with titles are no longer in print, just the smaller unflopped, untitled volumes
Third, the "titled" volumes also have a Volume 19/20 Sora Unchained -
Really? Because even in the games (such as JRPGs) where you can toggle whether the default speed is run or walk, I ALWAYS make sure the default is run and NEVER hit the button that toggles/slows you down to walk speed. In the majority of analog stick games I always go full speed run, unless there's a time where I will NEED to, such as thinh walkways/balance beams.
It may be a right, but it's something that's not really necessary. -
Quote:You may not, but you don't represent everyone. And BABs is the one that would have to put it in for us and if he and the rest of the staff doesn't want it in without that stuff, guess what? Personally I think it would be half-@$$ed if it didn't include the turning, strafing, and walking backwards animations.Originally Posted by Ironblade
No, a thousand times no. People keep making these bogus claims.
We DON'T need the ability to strafe, turn or go backwards.
We DON'T need to transition to power animations.
The flypose emote is just that, an EMOTE. If you turn, strafe, activate a power, whatever, it interrupts the emote. Walking could work the same way and it would be entirely sufficient.
And it's not a bogus claim if it came from the devs themselves. -
Just thought of another one:

Scud: The Disposable Assassin The Whole She-Bang Collection [+1] -
Like galaidiman said, BAB also mentioned that they they ould also have to set-up transition animations for each and every power animation in the game and do it for all 3 body skeletons. And that would take a lot of work for something that most people won't use.
So while strafing, turning, and backwards walking is a part of the reason we probably won't see a walking animation added, the transition to power animations a bigger reason why. -

Quote:Issue 6 was the only issue I recall getting a firm release date. But that was because Issue 6 was the City of Villains issue and that had a firm release date of October 31st and the issue went live on October 28th due to the promised 3 day Head Start for people who pre-ordered.Originally Posted by BigMoneyHustla
Well, they have given us release dates before, which was issue 5 I believe ... and that was the only time they have.
And when will it be released?
Soon

Feedback:
Some of the "single-entries" with ongoing series and/or series where quality is consisent and/or the volume numbering/issue contained in volume is easily found list as series rather than just vol 1 (ie Oh My Goddess, Invincible, Walking Dead, Penny Arcade, Liberty Meadows, Annihlation, Astonishing x-Men (1-4), Avengers: the Initiative, Cable/Deadpool, Ultimates, Ultimates 2, Preacher, Y: the Last Man) if it's a completed series include how many vols are available.
edit: that teaches me to QR
Also: why is all 4 volumes of 52 listed individually? That series TPBs are numbered

Yes.
Before, the servers were also older. It was quite common to see servers crash during Double XP. -
I coulda swore I saw freedom and virtue grey on saturday night...
Regardless, I admit I didn't play as much as I usually do Double XP weekend, but that was partially due to being in a closed beta for a game (no, not Aion) that I was really digging. Did manage to get from 29 to 33 on my Energy Energy Blaster tho. -
Quote:One of the reasons they went with the emotes for the alternate reasons was:Originally Posted by SunGryphon
But.. the alternate flight animations ARE the fly emotes... aren't they?
1) they at first made it where the changed animation was generated client-side and would cycle through/change whenever you started moving after coming to a stop/hit back. But not everyone would see the same animation
2) it messed with the strafing and/or banking animations
The emotes were pretty much a compromise because they didn't have the time to implement the tech needed to make a permanent change to what pose/animation you used and everyone could see it. The animation customization sure sounds like it would be the tech needed. Assuming based on known info anyway.
Whether it will be applied to pool powers or how long after launch of power/animation customization is unknown at this time. -
Quote:My bad. I assumed mostly because we were talking Carnies and I figured by "ghosts" I figured you meant the fact that the rising blue stuff coming out of them upon defeat looks like a face (that looks like it's screaming).Originally Posted by Golden_Girl_EU
I mean the Croatoa Ghosts - the female ones scream when they disappear, the male ones don't.

I used photobucket for mine (tho mine is still the 80x80 from the old board restrictions) and had no problems at all. Even inculded the http:// part. I copy and pasted the direct link, put it in the correct field and viola.

And as for the power and the info on the power in question:
Psychic Visage (Post Death Special, Point Blank Area of Effect) Foe -Endurance
A Psychic Visage has left the body of the fallen Carnie and has stolen some of your Endurance!
Carnies info on Paragon Wiki
edit:Quote:SPOILERStrangely, female ghosts also scream when defeat, but the male ones don't - I'm not sure the reason for that.
Because the Strongmen are animated soulless bodies -
I saw once where my avatar didn't show after I made a post, clicked on control panel to try to re-add it and saw the pic was still there. Then when I hit back to go back to the thread it was there.

Yeah. the Justice and Sinister costume pieces should be in the costume creator. You can either hunt for them in the drop gown menus or just click on the big bar at the top of the screen and select Justice or Sinister from the drop down menu.
Pieces should be in:
Chest (Tight, Baggy, Armored)
Shoulders
Gloves (1st drop down. 2 kinds regular and with pads/plate)
Pants (Tight, Baggy, Armored)
Boots (1st drop down, 2 kinds regular and with pads/plate) -
