  1. I prefer to think that some lucky soul just got 1.6 bil. Gratz to whoever that was.

    I don't have much sympathy for people who make careless mistakes like that, especially since they added commas to the market interface way back when.

    Since changing you colors will be -20% damage how many of the non-carebears will actually do this?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That 20% is a maximum value. Remember, it scales depending on how far you deviate from the correct color.

    Regen will have an ULTRA green FX setting, which is like the annoyance factor of I1 regen x3, which offers a 15% regen bonus to all powers. This scales down all the way to RED, where all powers will actually reduce your character's regen.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Naw, it scales down even further. Make them neon pink and they'll start dealing damage over time to your character.
  3. Looks like a steampunk proton pack.

    On occasion, the shockwave effect appears off to one side and at an angle from the point of origin.

    Dear Issue [ ] Doomcrier:

    You claimed in your...

    [ ] badly written
    [ ] whiny
    [ ] uninformed

    ...post that Issue [ ] will surely...

    [ ] force everyone to group.
    [ ] force everyone to solo.
    [ ] cause all the casual players to leave the game forever.
    [ ] cause all the "hardcore" players to leave game forever.
    [ ] ruin City Of Heroes beyond all repair.
    [ ] lead directly to the fall of human civilization.

    In addition, you...

    [ ] made an inept attempt to flame the developers.
    [ ] claimed that the developers are specifically out to get you/your AT.
    [ ] feebly attempted to preemptively counter rebuttals by suggesting/stating that any who do not share your opinion are "fanbois" or some similarly asinine term.
    [ ] claimed that any attempt to improve the balance of the game is an inherently bad thing.
    [ ] showed a lack of respect for players whose playstyles do not match your own.

    Your claims are weak and unsupportable because...

    [ ] they do not contain a shred of hard evidence.
    [ ] they are flatly contradicted by the known facts.
    [ ] they are shot through with logical fallacies that would get you laughed out of a 6th-grade debate class.
    [ ] they betray a blatant disregard, outright hostility, or simple ignorance of the most basic principles of game design.

    Specifically, you have failed to account for the fact that...

    [ ] unless you are prepared to prove that you have telepathic powers, you have no business claiming to know what the developers were "really" trying to do.
    [ ] people like you have predicted the imminent doom of COH during every previous Issue's launch, and every time you have been wrong.
    [ ] contrary to your claims, the developers have consistently shown themselves to be intelligent and responsive throughout the game's history.
    [ ] nobody promised you that your "nerfed" power/AT/playstyle was always going to work the way it did before.
    [ ] this update is only on the Test server, and not a single proposed change is guaranteed to go live, as has been repeatedly proven in past releases.


    Furthermore, you apparently need to be reminded that...
    [ ] this new content doesn't cost you another dime, unlike in most other MMO's where you would have to shell out $20 or more for it.
    [ ] calling out the devs is not only against the forum rules, but also completely ineffective and counterproductive.
    [ ] you have no idea what the majority of players want, since you and every player you have ever known combined add up to less than 1% of the population.
    [ ] your subscription fee is not so high that the cancellation you threatened/promised is going to scare the devs.
    [ ] you just received or are about to receive a free respec.

    In conclusion, it is highly recommended that you...

    [ ] rework your combat tactics, because being "gimped" by a power nerf is usually a sign that you relied to heavily on that power...
    [ ] turn off your Caps Lock key...
    [ ] stop trying to speak for anyone but yourself...
    [ ] start spellchecking and using halfway decent grammar and sentence structure in your posts...
    [ ] quit throwing tantrums and grow up a bit...

    ...although it is more likely that you will simply repeat this process when Issue [ ] is released.

    Keep your hopes down Boys and Girls...

    If they do make Power Customization a reality, you'll be happier.

    If they dont make Power Customization a reality, you wont be as disappointed...

    Ignoring it at this point makes no sense to me.
    They've all but come out and told us it's going to happen, including the none too subtle hint in the GR trailer of that gal's fireball changing from red to blue.

    Occam's Razor is on the side of customization.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I agree. They've been dropping pretty massive hints. I'm just wondering how they're gonna pull it off.

    I made a new toon just to see what's up on Test. Put on the Power Slide and am looking at the new animation for it. It's got some things shooting outta it at all angles.

    Is this right??

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It's a bug with our FX sytem. Should be fixed in the next build.

    Huzzah!
  12. Are you running any kind of taunt aura? Those tend to interrupt zombie explosions.
  13. I've got Rouge Angle of Satin reserved, dunno if I'll ever use it.
  14. In the comic book sense, I don't think evil should win outright, but it should win enough of the time to keep good on its toes. I see it as an equilibrium, with both sides being unequal but stable. When the equilibrium is upset there inevitably follows a reaction that returns stability.
  15. Well, it seems that instead of attending I'm moving out of my apartment. Damn my procrastination.

    Hasten has a recov debuff >_>

    [/ QUOTE ]

    True story: I avoided getting Hasten for a while because the power description implied (at least to me) that powers cost more endurance while it was running.

    Ram fluid needs changing in the computer, obviously, and I'm sure the hard drive washers are out of whack too. Probably need to check the CPU bolts while you're at it, and make sure your video card's hydraulic lifters aren't shot.

    Don't forget a new Johnson rod. Also, might wanna get rustproofing and undercoating.
  18. I've been playing a DM/SD lately. Fully saturated Soul Drain + Shield Charge is just too awesome.
  19. To get a screenshot from the costume editor, hit Print Screen as usual, then open an image editing program like MS Paint or IrfanView. Paste, save as [insert preferred image format here], and done.
  20. Just ran the TF (not the SF). It was good. Started strong but kinda petered out. My team did it in a little over an hour. Easily doable in less than that. 20 merits.

    ZOMG the new 5th column base is freaking sweet looking!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Looks more like an abandoned hero base. Besides, why would the 5th Column keep their very own Evil Statesman in stasis?

    We'd better be able to get purchasable G Cores to fight them, as we all know the only thing that can handle Kaiju robots is Godzilla.
