nope, gun kata has a lot more to it than pointing guns forward and shooting one or the other... which is what dual pistols is and would be if they introduced it right now as a set...

one thing about people saying more time doing other tech developmentss, it could be that to get those other techs working correctly they need to impliment other features or adapt current tech to fit, and shield are a halfway house to it, so by making shields they test technology and also open up avenue to make further tech to allow other things like real gun katas rather than just 'dual pistols' which (after playing the MM version and seeing all the other dual gun characters in game) looks pretty dull unless they bring something extra to it.

i didnt pick lift and propel for the reasons stated, too weak and too slow.

good ideas i think, although i'd like to see something that was a bit more interesting than throwing them in the air if lift was being looked at.

planatary density: you crush your foe with the force of the planets gravitational pull focused entirely on their body, this immediately flattens any foe, stops them from jumping or moving flying or even getting back onto their feet.

basically a KB power that doesnt let them get up again, too powerful i know but just a thought on what could be done instead

can bring grav/rad as mentioned or if you promise its going to be as good fun as the defender one i could bring my earth/ff from union over

that was the most fun i've had on this defender ever that really was an ace fun tf, thanks everyone

my god i hope not, i'm getting nam flashbacks that film was so bad

hehehe, those sort of jokes need to be reserved for ingame, where they get forgotten about faster... faster, scroll off screen dammit!

example, like when was the last time you were really overwhelmed by mobs, like really overwhelmed and it wasnt your own deliberate moves to make it so, i'm thinking monumental ambushes which go way over the cap, but maybe a boon to help, if you get it right - even something simple like rather than teamsize*2 its team size *4

although after a while you do face the 'why have the got so many bosses/elites? they are lame' so it does get difficult to balance.

maybe a rethink of battle/map strategy is required to make this more cool, so you have our elites but they dont just have a small mob/room around them, they are the ones who come in as ambushes and buff their own 'team' or tehy are teh ones dominating a map and directing forces, so you actually have to do stuff to get to them...

brains dried up

more like a streets of rage end of level baddy rather than an entire level of minions

with the endlevel being uber boss after boss type stuff.

aye, the whole lethal smash weapon nature of melee in coh as been a bit off, more actually streetfighting melee versions please, do we really need axe/mace katana/bs doubling up - better if they were actually two sides to one spec, so you have 'heavy weapon' or 'light weapon' spec and can choose after if you're bs or katana, etc.

would leave more options for adding another 'light' or 'heavy' spec into it too, with respecability too rather than power class respecability

i prefered your old avatar wilf <assume this is one word>

i'd like to see shields as an 'epic' style as in you can only choose: scrapper (or other melee char), shield primary, shield secondary.

so everything is shields, so your 'filler' attacks are stuff that fit round shields, not swords or martial arts or fire melee, they are the shield melee

shiled bash, shield throw, shiled kick, hide/shield upper cut, shield dash, etc you get the picture.

ok, i have:

kin/dark/psi without vengence OR (only if the sonic stays and we dont end up with 4 darks)
dark/dark/psi with vengence

he mentioned not wanting to make things farmable, admitedly in a different paragraph but i wonder if teh super lewt market place where one enhance goes for 70 million was really what they wanted or envisaged...

Maybe this is a way of making rares accessible to everyone, thus evening the playing field - it might even mean that more people pvp if it doesnt cost a squillion to get onto the same slot level as the "pro's"

if its tokens you bank and eventually buy recipes with it could either wash the market for rares down the toilet or make them even more desirable due to devs placing a huge merit price tag on them

Actually, would be nice to introduce a jinx or two with the release of Issue 13 so that players could experience a bit of bad luck. Like tripping, slipping, or get a door slammed in the face, stuff like that.

After all, we are talking about Issue 13 here ...

yep that'd be funny, could extend to rewards too, like always getting trap of the hunter: chance to sell for 5 gold recipes after an arduous tf... hold on a minute!

One little phrase got my attention though: "Zone Refinements".

Wonder what they are going to be refining after 13 issues. Would be kinda funny if that was their term for a remake of boomtown :P

I'd guess it might be mroe along the lines of Perez park getting a Hollows style fix.

maybe refining the bits that made the servers unstable, thus allowing 'improved game stability' in the notes too

because its an overview, not a specific list of patch notes.

5.99 or wait 4 years apparently

and pain powas!

tbh highly unimpressed, what happened to i13 being massive?

[/ QUOTE ]

bwuh?! how can you not see how big a bit of work it is to bring the mission builder to the game?

Not only what a monumental impact it'll have on the game as a whole but also how much actual codey/testy work there is to bring what is effectively a closed perpetual beta product they use in development to make arcs/storys and put it out to us as a usable and non crackable product.

/me bemused.

007 light bending shield

but its depreciation, its like saying 'i bought my pc 4 years ago for 2k and now oxfam are giving the same pc away i want my money back' its because they aint worth anything anymore other than freebies that are nice.

faction for your login point? might be funny

or combo badges for where you login
