Further to the MotD that was deployed ingame a couple of weeks ago, please be aware that the next Double XP Weekend will be on in 2 weeks:

Start: Friday, 31 July 2009, at 8:59 a.m. British Summer Time/9:59 a.m. Central European Summer Time

Finish: Sunday, 2 August 2009, 8:59 p.m. BST/9:59 p.m. CEST

In which case, they're cutting it too bloody fine, IMO.

Aiming to have the boards coming back (assuming the 72 hours is accurate) online after the DXP weekend has started? That's not a good idea, as the boards will be absolutely hammered by people checking to see if they got their user name, see what's new and shiny etc. etc.

They seem to be giving themselves no breathing room, but that's likely just my pessimism kicking in.

[/ QUOTE ]

I fully agree with the statement that to truely find out if something works you have to chuck it right into the deep end.
Besides . . . how bad are the forums going to be for dbl xp? Most people will be ingame Sure AFTER the dbl xp and people start the usual "so how many levels did you get?" threads then it'll be a test

[ QUOTE ]
thought about your forum handle yet, now is the time to do it!

[/ QUOTE ]

Umm umm umm you mean i have to chose NOW?

72 hours before boards are working? Am i right in that between tuesday and thursday the url wont be recognised or just unable to post/join?

Also regarding all of us "joining forces" now. Does this mean that the closed beta testers will be from the whole pool of players now or will you be looking at EU players to test EU side of things too? < < < < Big issue for me, please reply

This thread is so full of win now

Busted

[will let carnie take the pleasure in telling why]

Edit: Though i suppose more people might read it here too so hmm worthy of a bust or not . . . . . . . ah dont know!

[ QUOTE ]
A little bit more info from BAB:

[ QUOTE ]
Powers can be individually customized per costume slot, but not supergroup mode.

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

So at a guess that would mean when in sg mode they either are the costumes colour selection or the supergroups colours?

Thats what i would've thought it had been anyway though to be honest.

[ QUOTE ]
Do you remember back in time when people just left the team without a word because they got some debt? TFs could be a nightmare in PUGs, especially if you had some blasters invited

[/ QUOTE ]

*holds hands up*

I am VERY guilty of this and a few people on these boards will agree/shout at me because of it.

Now i aint against death/debt/whatever but when its just impossible and your team is so bad you know its never going to work then i do just quit. Of course another factor is if im lagging so bad [does happen now and then] that i can barely move. If im annoyed i ignore all "loyalties" and think sod it im going out

Though if the train wreck teams are FUN then i dont care about the debt, make death fun and i'll die all the time!

Fun facts:
To date, power customization for Primary and Secondary player powers has involved
1,241 individual powers.

which use use 1,620 FX scripts

which reference 5,144 particle scripts.

(Yes, those 1,241 powers are from just the powersets listed in the Issue 16 overview page.)

I'm still trying to nail down an exact date for when we started working on this, but so far the earliest reference I can find is from a document created in March of 2008. I know there were some meetings before that document was made, but I can't find the date or meeting notes from the initial "Lets do this!" meeting, which I would consider the official start of this massive undertaking.

Unofficially, I've been trying to figure out ways to do it since around Issue 11, but every idea involved new tech and a tremendous amount of data parsing...two things that simply would have never happened back then with the size of our team.

Obviously, we haven't been working 100% on this since we started. A bit here, a bit there...time taken for other Issues, bug fixes, booster packs, etc. But we've been working on it pretty focused for the last 6-8 months.


[/ QUOTE ]
Oh! Does anyone expect any serious bugs?

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't be silly. Closed Beta will squash them all.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, I think most of the bugs will be pertty easy to spot this time
MA closed beta was tougher, because it was hard to tell if something was a bug, or if it was just the author who'd left something out.

[/ QUOTE ]

But from the sounds of things this issue will have the longest beta since so many things need to be tested. Every power with every colour as a small example.

Does using the arachnos costume change [faultline] temp power make all powers go back to their default animations/colours?

Pratically most of the game will have to be tested just to see if anything affects this. Remember when you could slot insipirations with enhancements in i14 beta or the chosing "use cossie token" actually took your money still in icon?

[ QUOTE ]
EDIT: 10 powersets* lol traps.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thugs?
All the dominators assault powers?
elec melee + armour?
pain dom?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I wonder if power colours are universal for the character i.e. regardless of costume change or if you can specify different colours for different costumes?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's unclear US side. At first I thought because they were a seperate screen they were seperate from cossies altogether, but then I thought about it and decided that made no sense.

So I dunno. One would hope per cossie would be the most logical.

[/ QUOTE ]

Would make a set like Martial arts very appealing again. Two cossie slots and you got yourself two different sets of animations.

Edit: Woo least we finally get to see what powers look like before selecting them!

Know you said there'ld be an EU beta for GR avatea but can you confirm/deny if theres going to be a closed beta for issue 16 too please?

Thank you in advance

[ QUOTE ]
I think the no-color option won't be available because of PVP. You have to know who attacked and what he used; it would be odd to be hit by an invisible fireball.

[/ QUOTE ]

Would make a phantom army really awesome.

Ah but thats not the purpose of the thread Freebies for players are the topic

[/ QUOTE ]

I got a whole sack load of freebies at Omega Sektor!

[/ QUOTE ]

Meh, welcome to the world of the rest of us, who never had any sort of CoH event in their country, I think there were one or two in Germany but that's about it. At least you had the experience in the past.

[/ QUOTE ]

I suppose that all depended on how badly you wanted to go, really... A friend of mine, ShadowGhost, is Dutch, but he's been over to several events, including Omega Sektor. Cheap flights ftw!

[/ QUOTE ]

So if you REALLY wanted to go, you could go over to the comiccon convention?

Keep up FFM Avatea has quite often lately offered costume codes as part of prizes in player organised events Quite a few lately iirc.

Though i personally want an igneous costume code!!! As long as they DONT get something totally unique then i'll keep to our random contests

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, THOSE type of events! I thought she meant actual physical events, where NC actually showed up and had a stand and we all had a massive ball.. Like Omega Sektor...

You'll be surprised to know that we have secured Knives of Artemis codes for European players as well

But just like the Freakshow, Harlequin and PPD costume codes, this year's codes will only be available through events or contests.

[/ QUOTE ]

What events? Almost everyone in the Brighton office is gone!

For me, dying is already enough for me to be "punished". I do not really care about debt how it is now or how it was in the past.

And I really don't understand people wanting to have debt badges...

[/ QUOTE ]

Fire blasters tend to not have a choice about wanting the debt badges

[ QUOTE ]
I was paying off debt tonight. I know it's been reduced, but it is still there isn't it?

[/ QUOTE ]

At like a tiny % value of the original I still think they should bring back a new debt system.

First NEW debt is the highest, with each debt occured while in "debt mode" being reduced in value.

For example:

1st death: 1000k debt
2nd death while still in debt: Another 800k debt
3rd death while still in debt: Another 600k debt
etc

[ QUOTE ]
aye, which is stupid. Everything is after 35.

It's 15-30ish that's the real slog for me, because there's not really a lot of cool stuff. Easy enough to get to 10-early teens, and after 30 it seems to fly in quite quick on the 2 toons that I've got that have made it that far. More interesting things in the middle would be better.

[/ QUOTE ]

See i find 15 - 30 starting to get a bit overcrowded for me personally content wise. 30 - 45 is the content slog for me.

[ QUOTE ]
If you scare them by saying things like "I'll attack you from behind if you don't give me 1283747382332 Inf!" then... yes.

[/ QUOTE ]

You've said that to me MANY times mate

RE: content, i always thought that they should add more non epic arcs. No more saving the world. No more stopping the most evil person ever.

Just have a few low level arcs which have you just doing some heroic/villainous deeds which doesnt evolve some kind of epic storylines!! Sometimes a humour storyline is just as good as an epic one . . . . . . imo

[ QUOTE ]
I ALWAYS do Faultline I wouldn't miss it out for the world The best set of Arcs IMHO

[/ QUOTE ]

Same, well except for the level 20+ arcs there since i tend to go for my midnighter arcs + sirens call runs then followed by striga. TOO MUCH CONTENT!

[ QUOTE ]
Awesome to hear chaps such a shame things like this don't happen enough, I almost felt like crying when I went to the hollows a few days ago and it was dead - that place used to be so full of life

[/ QUOTE ]

To be fair thats no-ones fault apart from us the players. We have all/mostly taken the easy route of going to kings row first. Such a shame that by the time you've got the jetpack that your almost level 10 and can easily bypass the hollows then.

You know if you REALLY want to go old school . . . . .
[*] PvP MISSIONS - remember when you used to get invited to quick pvp missions? Really REALLY good xp. On my latest character i went from 17 - 20 purely from BB missions. Made quite a few million off it too *hint hint*
[*] Getting a level 10 team and going streetsweeping in perez. That much carnage must be put to use!
[*] Taking out the fires in steel canyon! I still do this now and then because its actually fun! More fun if your a low level and have to survive the hellion onslaught too.
[*] Going to sirens call and trying to win the hotspots. Again i've been doing this lately in the early hours and its soooooo much fun! Theres the calm before the storm and then BAM! All out war and the coward in you begs that you run since you know your going to die [yes my love for sirens is totally back!]
[*] Having a full team and then doing missions that technically shouldnt be possible!!! Will need an awesome empathy but boy those missions are just simply the most fun ingame moments ever!!! Constantly in the red, staring death right in the eyes and simply refusing to die . . . . . good times!!!
[*] Striga island arcs. Because me loves the boats!!!
[*] Go boss hunting in sirens. Seriously do it
[*] Atta . . . . . because you know you want to experience going in with a full team and having to rebuild a team 3 times before finishing
