And THIS is how the talsorian/vanguard shield is supposed to look!

Apparently the male version is bugged, and i've got to admit the "proper" version does make more sense and looks good too

Not sure how many have seen this or been told about this but on the US forums someone showed a link to a video of the new Vanguard Shield being turned on.

Vanguard Shield Activated

Someone from the EU boards contacted be and asked me to upload a video of the combat activation for the Talsorian Shield, since they can't even log into the character creator for Test. So... here it is. Not the greatest quality, but you get the idea.

BaBs: Ugh...kill it with fire and remake it once it has the right sized energy dome on there.:P

[ QUOTE ]
BaBs: It's just a bit off. Check out the Female's version of it to see how it's supposed to fit into the projector

Apparently the energy dome is supposed to fit inside the arms.

nice cossies, but where are the female ones?

[/ QUOTE ]

according to the us forums there arn't any to be seen yet :O

[ QUOTE ]
some of those actually look a lot better than i thought they would, still would have liked to see a more pointy evil one somewhere but the elemental shields are awesome, except for the crystal one which i think looks kinda lame.

[/ QUOTE ]

aye, a few people have already commented on that over there, infact it's got this responce from BaB's:

If it'll make you feel better, I could rename it to something else.

Before i hear cries of "Your breaking the NDA! OMG". I havn't and the pics, links and comments in regards to tints etc are taken from this post on the US forums where they've taken screenshots from in the character creator (the furthest a person can go with the closed beta on there atm).

Enough with the covering my [censored] and onwards with the pics!

Blue Shield - This is fully tintable. Something tells me this isn't supposed to be available to us, or we have to unlock it somehow.

Riot Shield - Accepts all chest emblems, and can be tinted.

Round Shield A - The basic round shield, can take all emblems. Most shields can.

Round Shield B - A slight variant of Round Shield A, this can also take emblems.

Round Romulus Shield (Roman) - Another variant of the Round Shield, this one is probably unlockable. Strangely, emblems CAN be placed over the design.

Half Ascendant Shield

Full Ascendant Shield

Heater? Shield (how they called it not me)

Cavalier Shield

Cavalier Knight

Kite Shield (or the 1066 Shield as a friend calls it, lol) - This has a nice wooden inlay on the inside of the shield, not shown here.

Talsorian - Both the emitter and the deflection matrix are two-tone and tintable.
Also:

I should have added... this appears to work like a combat aura. Ordinarily, it just sits on your arm as a small disc. It expands to what you see there when you go into your combat stance. I'm assuming this, as there is an actual animation when you first select that shield.

[/ QUOTE ]

Manhole Cover Shield (ala Lost style) - Lost RPers unite!

Rock Shield - Fully tintable

Crystal Shield - Both the stone and crystals can be tinted.

Fire Shield - Non-tintable.

Ice Shield - Not truly tintable, but various colors affect the opacity of the ice.



And now onto cozzies:

Did someone call the cops?

1.) is it possible to make water so that we can dive in it, swim deep and even have an empire under water?

[/ QUOTE ]1: There is a mission in the Imperous TF which has underwater swimming, so it seems possible.

[/ QUOTE ]
You don't actually swim though, there is no vertical movement, you just have a swim animation underwater. If the pools were fifty foot deep you'd fall to the bottom and only be able to get out with fly or jump. But while ta the bottom you would appear to swim. I suspect that if the add a swimming system they will grant a fly like buff when under/in water to give you a vertical movement, however it doesn't appear to exist yet.

[/ QUOTE ]

Erm...there is actually, i've had a small character in the pool and unless im seeing things she was mid air/water in the deepest part and she could move vertically in the water, saying that my huge 8ft tank is practicaly standing in it, but i'm quite sure the 5ft mm i have could move vertically...hmm i'll double check tomorrow.

[ QUOTE ]
4: Water was another power effect that they had issues with doing.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sure i read somewhere that some of the effects in the energy blaster AT, were one water ones, can't think where :S

depends if i get back from work on time... ¬_¬

Guys, just a little heads-up...

Art of War are running a cozzie competition on Union (Saturday the 4th at 7pm GMT under the Atlas Globe - see the Union boards for more info) and Ghost Raptor has very generously donated 3 PPD codes for the 3 finalists.

Feel free to come on down and join in

moved to the 11th I believe

AS a leader of a sg meself i thought i'd stick my oar in....erm....i mean make a vaild contribution to this chat..

>_>
<_<


Anyway..

In both of my sg's (Max Carnage and Max Bloodshed) there is the 30 somthing rule, but it's not a "or else" rule. theres two rank advancements based on prestige but they are both fixed targets, and only the first is needed to be able to use the sg salvage.

I've found that people who don't gain prestige can be very helpful to the sg but hardly raise prestige or farmers, or massive altists players. But this doesn't mean they would be out the sg, it just means they would be unable to use the sg storage.
We also have a time limit in being offline, which is mentioned in the sg rules, so that new people are able to join etc, some players stop using a certain alt and after a while they get kicked, but the gap for kicking depends on prestige (i.e. no prestige means you'd been kicked sooner than some one with prestige).

So things in many sg's depend on prestige, but it's not the be-all-and-end-all of it. some sg's i've been in asked you to be in sg mode till 30 or else, which is fine as i don't care about io's till at least 35+ (but thats me :P)

As mentioned before i also do gentle reminders about prestige mode to players who havn't gained any prestige, sometimes they're new and never knew about sg mode at all, or forgot, etc. Plus I tend to add a couple lines c&p'd from a notepad file that i mention everytime a new person joins

I've also found that "congratz"ing players on their promotions and the reason why at the same time gives the none prestige players a heads up on the matter, but isn't a "WHERES MA PRESTIGE? GO GET NOOOW!" heh

This is a useful resource from the wiki that lists a lot of the unique maps in CoH/V, which although for the use of demo editing is a good resource for when we get the Misson Creator

[[Previous post deleted]]

You know what?
I'd typed a whole load of stuff here, summing up, discussing and refuting(sp?) a lot of what people were saying, argueing, ignoreing, etc

But then i realised i'd be argueing about something i havn't seen yet.

Seriously, what everyone is doing is like a new bunch of newborn kids argueing about the colour of the sky and what the clouds look like, before you have even open your eyes...till you see/hold something you can't really tell what it's going to be like, you can only pointlessly speculate about it.

Have fun with your internet arguments.

I for one, (along with a load of players on coh/v who I speak too on a daily basis, most of which don't use the forums fyi) will be holding the yays or nays till we actually see the thing.....because there really isn't much point arguing about it before hand, constructive comments yes, but "waaa it's not the right colour of blue" we can do without.

Have fun...

this old chestnut doing the rounds again? :P

Is that possible to make visits to other supergroups bases? That would be neat to see really big bases

[/ QUOTE ]

you can only ealy visit other groups bases if your a member of there group or if you are coalitioned to them

[/ QUOTE ]

Also if a sg leader (highest rank in a sg) is a leader in the team you are in you can enter thier sg's base. I've done this several times to help people with either advice or opinions on their bases

hmm, i have a similar error on my comp, along with a band accross the bottom of my screen does the same, but only with water...but it's no where as near as bad as yours is....i'll have to check it out. I'd suggest updating your graphical drivers even if they are uptodate, but it hasn't solved my problem. :S

As the title says:

Explanation:

User A (who will remain nameless :P ) was logging out and as people are doing at the mo, he used the Self Destruction power, no problem there....except he logs out the game at number 4 on the powers countdown, and the screen vibration associated with this power should then stop....

...or not...nope it kept going, and building, it got to the point where i was seeing the characters upside down, sideways, from above and in a massive earthquake juddering effect. Imagine blinking and shaking your head while your looking at the screen in a full spin cycle inside a washing machine...lol

Sadly it wasn't just me, all the people in the radius of the supposed explosion were affected and relogs didn't help...also it was showing up on the charcter choice screens too...though strangely it only stopped as soon as i started to use the same power.

Just thought i'd let you all know, it has ofc been logged etc, but I was psml throughout it all

you know what, i've had ZERO problems with this pack, and the one time the explode power bugged was because i was healed right as i exploded (on purpose i might add), want to know how i fixed it....i relogged, thats it.

Cozzie/auras? no problem.
power? no problem.
emotes? no problem.

So thanks to the devs for this pack
(if peeps don't like, don't buy it....simple)

coooommmmeeee oooon! D: lol

[u]Power[u]
The power included with the Cyborg Pack is called 'Self Destruction'. The power has a 1 hour recharge, 10 second activation time, 40 foot radius, 16 target cap, deals 535.44 damage at level 50, 50 damage at level 1, will not give you any debt, and inspirations/self rez powers will still work (not sure about other players using ally rez abilities)

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
I have but one question about the self-destruct. Is it interruptable?

[/ QUOTE ]

according to the us forums: Nope!

And apparently the only way to rez from this is to go hospy/jail, as self-rez, inspirations, rez-powers, etc won't work. saying that i've got to read up on whats new on the us forums about it :P

Full list of cyborg stuff

(including cozzie bits!)

i'd put all the links here but i've got to go work :P

aye i forgot to mention that it does somthing over 500 damage, which is more than a fully slotted PD nova

no one else seems to have done it so heres the links to the pics of the new auras (and a video of the auras in motion)

Laser Beam Eyes - Both
Laser Beam Eyes - Left (right is the same just on the...erm...right) :P
Holographic HUD - Front view
Side view of HUD
Video of the auras. Notice the HUD moves around from behind your head (much smoother without FRAPs running, though). Also, the eyes normally don't blink (again, blame fraps).

Aaaaand also two videos of the new power:
"Self Destruct" vid1
"Self Destruct" vid2

and last but not least a vid of the emote dance: Robot Dance!
