Quote:Thats pretty much it. The OP is asking if they can port Emp over to MM's so his MM that goes hero doesn't have pain domination.Originally Posted by Deceivius
That's not the way Going Rogue is going to work, at least from what I've interpreted from my own reading.
Once you've switched sides, you'll still have the same powers (i.e. a Bots/Traps or Thugs/Poison will still be the same character with the same powers). You won't have other options to suddenly roll up another buff/debuff secondary just because you're suddenly a "true blue" hero. Same with blue side... you won't be able to roll up a Defender with the Pain Domination primary... you'll still be a ???/??? defender with your original powers.
You still have to start out in either Praetoria or Red Side/Blue Side then go through the character transition, thus already haven chose your powers.
Like I said, it might not be exactly that way, but that's my understanding of how things will work with the expansion. -
Quote:Good for you, you know how to build a computer, I don't, and as much as I would like to, I don't have the time to learn right now. And yes, I know a laptop isn't best for gaming, but it was the best option when I bought it.Originally Posted by OmnipotentMerlin
I work minimum wage part time and you can get a decent computer for at max $200. The only expensive part is the operating system. You said laptop. You do realize that a desktop is over 1/2 the price of a laptop and way better quality. I get how people find me rude but I know how to build computers and do do it alot. What I hate when people use the exuse that it is too "Expensive", no it isn't. You just need to do some work and not get a premade computer. Also laptops are great for gaming. You have to sacrifice alot stuff. You sacrifice power, costs way more, and lifetime all to gain mobility. If you want a better computer then you old pentium3 find a tech savy guy that works on computers, he most likely will be upgrade his computer alot. Gather his old parts and build a machine. Gosh I have like 4 computers worth of old parts. I use 2 of the old computers as servers. And you don't need to buy nice stuff all at once, buy some then maybe a year latter buy those other parts you wanted.
I don't need a lesson on how to afford a new machine, I have one now. I was just saying that for the last 2 years I had other priorities and couldn't afford a new one. I wasn't ******** about having a bad machine, I would let my team mates know so they knew I would come back if it crashed, or if I had a long load, but accepted my situation. I just take offense at your attitude that anyone can instantly afford a new machine. -
Quote:The Dev's have said the engine can't deal with a shield throw. The main issue is that it can't render the customised shield your character is carrying on the fly as a power.Originally Posted by Biospark
Having more powersets is a good idea, but what would be more cool to me would be to simply change shield charge into Shield throw.
Added to the fact that unless it were a magic boomerang shield it wouldn't come back and you'd not be able to use the rest of your defensive powers untill you go and pick it up.
Also... not sure kite shields are THAT aerodynamic. And you were talking about suspension of disbelief? -
Quote:I'm sorry, but I hate this attitude. How do you know that?! Do you know how much everyone earns, what there out goings are? I played on a 4 year old lap top for 2 years cos I COULDN'T afford a new machine.Originally Posted by OmnipotentMerlin
SB is a insanely good buff for others for you it doesn't do much other then making your team have less issues. The only problem I have ever noticed is that people on crappy computers can't stand the run speed boost or they will crash. Yes I understand that and try to be as nice as possible. But here is one point for that. If you crash cause I SBed you cause you damn computer needs a upgrade. Upgrade your computer, it isn't that expensive. It drives me nuts when I hear someone on my team is playing on a netbook or playing on a old pentium3. Yes you can do it but don't do it it isn't worth it to play on that computer.

Quote:While I don't agree with this change this statement isn't entirely true. There are powers where the End is calculated on enemies hit. I know that Psychic Wail works like that, drop it in an empty room and you lose no endurance. However, I believe if you only hit one person you get the full loss.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Standard code rant, it's probably possible, but highly improbable that it'd ever be implemented. Since endurance is consumed when you click the power, code would have to check after the power finishes animating and then give you endurance back.
There is also a repulsion field that works on enemies hit to I believe. So it's definitely possible. -
Quote:No, this would be USING the IO's. Respecs aside, once these are slotted they are permanently removed from circulation. Hoarding implies they are still available to use or sell.Originally Posted by ChaosExMachina
From a market point of view, hoarding in slots is essentially the same as hoarding and not selling.
If we were able to remove the low level IO's to replace them with high level IO's most people would keep those low IO's handy for their next character to use, rather than sell them. THAT's hoarding.
This removes the need for the user to purchase more, meaning less INF destroyed, prices plummet because of over supply. We are still generating these, but everyone has a few sets hoarded for their low characters so don't need to buy them. -
You missed out mind, which has a snipe, good control via stuns and knock down, and a good nova. It does lack heavy AoE with only Psychic tornado and psychic wail (Nova).
I have a 50 paired with /NRG which I love. Haven't tried soloing AV's but there is little that I've struggled with. NRG gives you boost range and power boost which are great, as well as very good melee powers for when someone gets too close. -
Quote:I believe it only goes to the person who saw it.Originally Posted by Tr3yTr3y
Hopefully an easy and quick question....did some search-fu and didn't find the answer...
When in a team (and in the same zone), does the whole team get credit for the exploration badge if one member gets to it i.e. critter defeats or do they individually have to tag it to get credit?
Thanks in advance. -
There is a whole suggestions forum full of new powerset suggestions, including spears and shield melee. And shield melee? Really?

Quote:Everyone else seems to have answered the rest pretty well.Originally Posted by Dromilin
How can low level characters be running around with full "invention sets" ..?
Sets come in a variety of level ranges. Each set has 3-6 pieces and bonuses associated with them. If you slot 2 of one set in a power you get the first bonus, up to 5 if you slot all 6.
You can start Set IOing your character from about level 10 I think, depending on how much Inf you have available. It can be an expensive route. Fortunatly IO's don't get outleveled so that level 10 you slotted will do you as long as you want, although bear in mind the bonuses can be bettered with higher enhancements. I find low level IO's useful early so I don't have to re Enhance every 5 levels but I tend to only slot them as the recipie and salvage drop. -
Quote:As a blaster that loves T9 Nova's I would dissagree. SB allows me to run into a large crowd and drop half of them, stun the other half, pop a pair of blues to keep working and have my end back up fast and then have my Nova back up as quick as possible. Sure, I work fine without the recharge, but with it I'm devastating.Originally Posted by WarronPeace
See, I just toss SB out as needed. I can see bubbles that significantly increase the teams survival and can turn a meh team into steamrollers, but SB is annoying to put out, doesn't last very long, and doesn't do as much for survival. The recharge buff is nice, yes, but most teams don't need it. A well built character shouldn't be dependent on an outside buff to be capable of performing whatever task it is they are made to do.

This seems to come up quite often, although your approach is one I haven't seen before.
Personally, I rolled a /kin knowing that I would spend a fair amount of time SBing. It comes with the territory. I appreciate it when someone says thanks, am happy to have the occasional request when I don't remember it's dropped and keep it off people who say they don't want it.
If you take that approach you might want to warn your team before hand and get ready for hearing SB Plz every 90 seconds from 7 people. I find it easier just to dish it out.
And yeah, manners are nice, but do you thank the tank every time he taunts? I'm happy to have the occasional 'TY for the buffs' or 'good tanking' than a constant stream of 'thank you' and 'can I have [buff of your choice] this please?' -
Quote:It's cos he has hard capped lethal, but not smashing.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Well, if throwing guns at him were so harmless, then why does he always try to dodge the gun when he doesn't flinch at the bullets? That's because of the little-known fact that Superman's REAL crippling weakness is tossed guns. Now if someone could develop a gun that tossed guns, we're all screwed.

Quote:They animations for the activation of said powers would have to be set to flow on from the walking animation, same as they do when flying and running, otherwise there would likely be a large jerk as the character changed to the animate stance.Originally Posted by Siscia
Hm... interesting way to set that up, is all I can say.
BaBs said he wasn't happy having to block the powers while walk was active, but that it was too much work to animate properly so they have released it as is. It's not to say it'll never happen, but it was a case of have it like this now, or wait indefinetly for it to be the way you want it. -
Quote:How do you know this? Anything could have happened between his birth and the rise of Reichsman to change the side he decided to fight on. He had a whole war with Germany to become dissatisfied with allied forces let alone all the small acts in his childhood that could have compounded it.Originally Posted by Durakken
And AGAIN I never said all Coles were inherently "good". They all Share the exact same environment for most of his life which would produce, the exact same person or close to.
Just because not everyone follows YOUR concept of alternative realities, or divergent realities doesn't mean they are wrong. In another reality they could be right and you could be wrong.

Quote:Usually 2 are there because it's a zone specific badge and a local one, like Pocket D is the zone, but the base portal is the local. The local overrides the zone so if you stood by the base portal in pocket D you would get the Monitor duty credit.Originally Posted by Rylas
So lets say you park in a spot where two or more day jobs are marked, how does the game determine which one it counts towards? If you stay logged out long enough, would it switch to the other day job once the first one has reached its limit?

Quote:Yeah, no reason why not I guess. Something I had considered, then realised that it's pretty shite I'd have to pay twice.Originally Posted by EU_Damz
But purely for the sake of having an actual up to date disk on , it'ld work? Well thats something i suppose.
-
Quote:Yes, however, the account code wouldn't apply to your EU account, meaning you'd have to buy the NA box for the disks and then by the EU code to apply to your account, missing out on the bonuses (which likely won't be able to be applied to the EU account) and the free monthOriginally Posted by EU_Damz
Quick question here.
I have an EU coh box but am able to access both the NA and EU servers on it purely by changing this
"C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\cohupdater.eu.exe"
to this
"C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe"
Couldnt this just be done just as easy with an NA GR box? Your account login details are obviously the same but would it matter? Just need to make 2 copies and change one of their targets to have both NA and EU servers? -

Very nice. Time to start digging for clues.
One thing that worries me is in the last scene, I saw a bunch of vertical lines in the background. Please tell me there aren't going to be warwalls in Praetoria as well.

Quote:I think Rachel was more pointing out why it wasn't viable cos it was too much work. Which sucks, cos it's a fantastic idea.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
The only thing I'd also suggest is to make it optional; some people design their own, playable, character nemesis. If it was optional, that'd be cool. Andm glancing at the suggestion, it looks good so far.

Just have to say, could you not change the colour of your text? The red is impossible to read and the blacks very difficult.
