I have to agree; the sumptuary laws in most MMOs are the most ironbound straitjackets you've ever seen. You can get all kinds of character customization -- face shape, eye color, hair style, hair color, lip color, tattoos, distinguishing marks, body sliders, whatever -- and somewhere, deep underground, are the factories churning out millions of identical pieces of gear; every set of "Upper Body Chain Armor of the [insert descriptive phrase here] is identical to every other one, with all of your choices that make your character an individual disappearing under mass-produced armor and equipment. And you'll be each and every piece as soon as you get a replacement that has a better bonus.
Agreed....I can't touch a fantasy MMO anymore (well not totally true, I have Runes of Magic installed and played it back when it was in beta...but that was because it was free and 'kind of' fun and I had no job...so free was good)...
I mean seriously what CoH did when it first launched...all that character customization!
And you get to keep it/don't need to wear armor that makes you look the same?! 
I also love(d) the UI for this game...best UI ever (until a newer one comes out :P)...I played WoW about a month or so after CoH came out (got into the WoW beta) and was like, "Uh....what is this? Where do I go to talk to x person in this city/town (sorry not the "explorer" type...don't want to "waste" 30 minutes finding one NPC in a huge city)? You mean I can't customize the UI without downloading scripts/3rd party programs?

Quote:63+ month vet here and no beta invite...it seems that quite a few invites went to people who haven't played before (to maybe lure them back?).Originally Posted by Dynamix
Pardon my repost. I am glad to hear that exclusivity wasn't extended to those that attended comicon. However, I do have an issue with inclusitivioty not being extended to 60 month vets. I've been with the game since one month after it's launch, and it's been a heckuva ride since then! I've enjoyed it. But now we are about to embark on a new issue that really makes changes to how you start the game, and Veterans aren't a part of that? (or at least my beta invitation got lost in the mail?)
We get to go in closed beta for Going Rogue...and that will actually have content to it (I suppose at least
) and not just power customization (don't take that the wrong way I love PC but...just no 'content' that has been announced at least).

Makes you wonder what else they got behind those closed doors :O!!
Kind of like what/when Sunstorm said, "man I wish I could tell you guys what I'm working on now...but I can't...(and no it's not CoP)."
Or something along those lines heh.
And hooray for PC! -
I will say that I'd like to see the ability to lower the difficulty as well. It wouldn't be a huge deal if we can't but...it'd be nice.

Quote:Dang...couple that with the AoE upgrades that MMs have...now it wouldn't be horrible for me to make a new MM (I hated MMs (after my 2nd lvl 50 MMOriginally Posted by Doctor_Roswell
) because of the long setup time and making the game 'boring' because it was too easy).

Aww booo
heh...
Have the emails been sent out yet devs/Niviene? *just curious* -
Quote:Ah okay...then I'm guessing free respecs for all (or at least all Elec Armor users)?Originally Posted by Ecliptix
As it stands right now, they replaced CP across all versions of ElA as far as I can see.
Thanks for the info! -
Quote:Dang....that would have been nice on my Elec/Elec brute heh...Originally Posted by Ecliptix
Looks like they replaced CP with a new power called Energize.
Instead of a ~120% end discount like the brute version, it has a 60% end discount, but a 100% regeneration increase and a hefty heal (468 HP @ level 50 unenhanced) The end discount and regeneration buff last 30 seconds, and the power recharges in 2 minutes. Doesnt look like there's a crash or anything. No word if the recharge time is unenhanceable like SoW. -
Just downloaded a nice 80.1 MB patch...can't login but...no email either...then again, I haven't received emails from NcSoft in a while (Yes I've checked all the settings before in the plaync account).

Looks like the builds are being rolled back
The chat bug will live on

Oooooh...thanks

63 month vet here (got it July 27th). So hooray

Is it just me or is Liberty rubber-banding more now? I just logged in and did some crafting and it was quite laggy (was rubber-banding/seeing big blocks/red blocks/spikes in /netgraph 1 etc...).
And no, it doesn't appear to be my internet connection...this happened during the double xp weekend as well. Friday was really bad...I could log in to the game, stand around and be fine, then once I got into a team and was doing missions it was laggy (and others said the same thing); then Saturday was 'meh' hit-or-miss with lag...then Sunday I didn't have any issues (maybe the occasional thing here or there). Now today it seems to be spiking a lot. -
Quote:Ha...okay I thought the servers were up because the server status page has them as "UP" but then noticed what Brad/you said about the thing hasn't been working properly (updated as of June 4th or something like that)....I go to my sg's site and the server status all shows "DOWN" so...we'll see in an hour or twoOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I'm thinking it's all back-end changes, given that half the servers went down a couple of hours ahead of time. It's possible the double experience weekend hit them pretty hard and left some lingering problems. Might not even be a patch at all.
-
I was wondering the same thing...has there been a patch pushed to live because it hasn't downloaded anything for me :/

My eyes! x_x -
I don't like the new forums...not sure if I will but....*shrugs*
As far as signatures go...click on "USER CP" then "Edit Options" then go to the "Thread Display Options" section and uncheck the "Show Signatures" checkbox.
I did that because I don't want to see everyone's "cool" image for a sig.
You can also disable the reputation thingy in the "Edit Options" menu too...it's at the top on that page/section. -
I'll need to play/look around more but...
I don't like the bulletins so far. -
Hooray

Sure send me an invite (@Energizing Ion). -

It's normal for players to share the same Fog of War in a mission. I'm surprised it doesn't reveal for all the moment you use it.
[/ QUOTE ]
Didn't even think about that...but yeah I would think like TexasJustice does...either it should reveal it for everyone (even those in the mission) or it should only reveal it to me.
I have PM'ed Castle with this as well... -

Fire/TA and Dark/TA.
Fire/TA for stacked Slows with Glue and Rain of Fire, a nice little hellish maelstrom that's about half as deadly as OSA, but usable three times as frequently.
Dark/TA for cone spam with five damage procs and absolutely disgusting amounts of -ToHit stacked with Ranged defense.
[/ QUOTE ] Whats OSA exactly?

Oil Slick Arrow.
It's basically a big burn patch...if it lights on fire (there's a bug where it doesn't light on fire for one reason or another and supposedly it's very hard to track down how/why/etc...). But it also does -def, knockdown (think Ice Patch) and -speed. -

I will not be making any A/TA Corrs or any more archery/TA powersets....I just have too much of a 'blah' feeling from the first TA/A def I made when the sets were first introduced. TA is nice but...meh...not for me. -
So today I got the 63 month reward badge/bonus power (Reveal). I was playing around with it and I do like it; however, I found something but not sure if it's a bug or not.
If/when I'm on a team (a team of 5 let's say) and we get a mission and a total of 3 of us zone into the mission and I use the Reveal power it reveals the map for me but not the two other people that are in the mission. This makes sense and is working fine; however, when the other 2 teammates zone into the mission they see the whole map.
I have tested this a few times tonight while on a team and I have /bug'ed it but wasn't sure so I thought I'd post it here just in case. -

Thanks for the videos
If you by chance have any time, could you see if there is/what the new MA assassin's strike looks like? I want a kicking Assassin's Strike!
