Was that bug ever actually fixed? -
It's just one power called Secondary Mutation. It's a self buff that bestows 1 of 6 random buffs.
You have to click and drag it from your powers window to your power tray just like Sands of Mu, Nemesis Staff, etc. -
How about the devs just remove our ability to pull enhancements off of builds during respecs. The game already tells us that they are permanent once slotted.

Quote:Two more reasons not to agree to your suggestion.Originally Posted by Cptn_Courageous
Well, of course it would be affecting millions of characters... so what? It's not signfiicant enough of an addition to make people erase their characters to change their origin any more than people will erase a character to change from mutagen to throwing knives. Why would it in any respect be a hardship on a character. Your objection makes no sense based on your statements.
Too much of a hassle for me. I'm no tyro. I'm never going to get into doing macros and the only binds I use are to my 4th mouse button (usually for spamming healing or teleport). I wouldn't be able to remember the other binds anyway. The purpose of the game is to have fun. I think the suggestions I made contribute to that without overburdening people.
1. Your casual disregard for how it would affect other players.
2. Just because you personally are too lazy to use the tools the devs gave you to make playing the game easier isn't a good enough reason to change the game. -
Quote:That's the point the whole Swingline suggestion started years ago because people were bi***ing and nitpicking that Flying, Superspeed, SuperJump, and Teleportation weren't believable travel powers for characters with the Natural origin. Being forced to choose one of those travel powers was "destroying" their immersion and ability to enjoy the game.Originally Posted by Stormfront_NA
Good question, but...
I remember seeing a Spider man cartoon and Spidey often used passing by aircraft, helicopters, blimps and what not to hang from with his web.
One could imagine, if willing, that the web caster is hanging from a plane or soemthing...Imagination is what drives the world to the future....
If one is to nit pick too much

Well fine. If it's that darn important to their immersion in the game that their power be believable for their characters Origin then they can't use those powers to cross water or swing from empty air because it destroys our immersion in the game.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
That's when all the excuses started. They couldn't imagine why a Natural Origin character could have Fly, SS, SJ, or TP but suddenly they're imagining all kinds of BS that would allow Swinglines to attach to empty air.
Hypocrisy. Gotta love it.
This argument has been going on for so many years it's possible people have forgotten what originally started it. -

Another Idea:
I wish we had a storage unit for recipes in our base. Alot of times you find a really nice recipe, but you don't have enough cash to get the materials right away. It would be nice to have some place to store those recipes until you're financially able to make it.
I'm all for increasing our storage capacity but just out of curiosity, are you aware of how much storage we actually have available to us on our accounts?
When the devs gave us the ability to email items they also gave the ability to store tons of stuff on our accounts using other characters. Using badges, vet reward, and temp powers each character can carry roughly:
Inspiration slots - 20
Invention Salvage slots - 85 (50 from levels, +10 V-Merits, +20 badges, +5 vet reward)
Recipe Slots - 34 (20 from levels, +9 from badges, +5 vet reward)
CH Transaction slots - 22 which can hold stacks of 10 recipes and salvage for a total of 220
Vault - 50
Email - 20 global slots
So if you multiply those number by the number of characters slots we can have on an account
NA Account (144-396 characters)
Inspiration slots - 2,880/7,920
Invention Salvage slots - 12,240/33,660
Recipe Slots - 4,896/13,464
CH Transaction slots - 3,168/8,712 (then in stacks of 10) 31,680/87,120
Vault - 7,200/19,800
Even on an EU Account (48-144 characters) (we) players have the ability to store thousands of items.
The only downside to using other characters for storage is that we can only email items 1 at a time, and we have to keep track of where we store things.
-
Yeah but I still don't know if showing The Cape on those channels is good or bad yet.
-
Actually I posted that in the hopes BrandX would post a link showing someone in real life using a swingline attached to nothing over the middle of a lake.
-
Not allowing accounts to be renamed isn't wierd. It's a security measure to prevent hackers or RMT companies from stealing accounts and changing the names without the real owners knowledge.
NCSoft just had a serious security issue last year where people found that there was a bug that was giving them access to other players master accounts when they logged into their own account. Once inside another persons master account they could copy or change all the personal information.

SYFY aired The Cape tonight (last night?) 12-2 am EST. Not sure if that's a good thing or the kiss of death for the show.

Love inspirations, but wouldn't mind a few improvements/additions:
1- Make Inspirations stackable... say you could stack up to 5 inspirations of the same type in a box... you could reduce the foot print of the inspiration tray.
2- Invention Inspirations... the current workshop buffs are tied to an immediate timer which starts ticking as soon as you make them. It would be nice to have some craftable inspirations or buffs that would sit in your inspiration tray and not activate until you actually click on them and use them...kinda like those holliday ones.
3- Single Origin inspirations: these could be made to give a normal buff to most origins, but a larger buff to AT's of the same Origin as the inspiration. It would be cool if they were craftable and tradable.
2. /unsigned - Making this would remove one of the few things that bases are still useful for. No one would use the base buffs at all if they could craft inspirations. I'd much rather have them remove the timer on the base craftable buffs so you can save them for when you want to use them.

Quote:Yes I noticed the same problem started for me back in November - December.Originally Posted by Scooby_Dont
Am I the only one with this problem? When I first log on to any character, I can click on something on the far right of any bar, such as insps or powers and it just doesn't take.
But if I click and drag on any other icon and drop it in that slot, it will then work fine. So then I click and drag things back where they were originally, and it's not a problem. As well, it is all fixed if I drag one icon, then they are all fixed. Insps, powers everything.
Strangely it doesn't happen all the time. But recently I wasn't able to use a power and I face-planted because of it. Anyone else have this issue? -
I think this is a great idea for a vet reward. Having it would gives vets a cool power that has no effect on gameplay and only provides a minor convenience.

Quote:Bull****.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
No they don't.
They have one flavour. Old and rusty.
Villains have to go to Mercy and decide between Kalinda or Burke. That's it. Oh wait I foprgot Veats. They get 1 mission then must choose between Kalinda or Burke.
Heroes on the other hand get to choose 1 of 10 initial contacts based on origin which are split between Atlas Park and Galaxy City. And if the players are making a Kheld they have complete storylines to follow depending on if they make a WS or a PB which is a hell of a lot more interesting than the unfinished crap VEATS got.
Is the Hero stuff old? Yes.
Is it better than the garbage Villains must suffer thru? HELL YES!!
The main reason people get bored with the same old starting missions heroside is because they refuse to start anywhere other than Atlas Park. That's a personal problem not a problem with the content. -
I've said it before but this is what happens when people spend too much time in the AE getting PL'd while door sitting. Praetoria is fine as it is, and as others have said it's fer too easy to outlevel the content there.

Quote:The reason that running on all fours and swingline are different is because people actually run and walk on all fours in real life.Originally Posted by BrandX
Exactly. But I get the feeling Sam was never going to see my point.
An avatar that looks like a normal man in a suit, running around on all fours like the Beast or Nightcrawler or Felica (from Dark Stalkers) without any sort of animal characteristics will look stupid (at least imo), but be made possible.
And anyone who says it won't happen is kidding themselves. The very first day I expect to see hero/villain concepts that wouldn't, to be doing as such.

Quote:I thought that the TOS series was a glorified redshirt raffle. Spin the wheel and see how many die this episode! Kirk, Spock, and McCoy were just the hosts.Originally Posted by BafflingBeerMan
My impression from TOS and from some of the earlier movies is the show was basically the "Kirk, Spock, and McCoy Show."
Or a precursor to the "Mr. Lizard" show on the Dinosaurs.
Kirk: I wonder what will happen if I do this while down on the planet.
Spock: Computations show that there is a 99.999999% chance of a crewman fatality if that course of action is taken Captain.
Kirk: I don't believe in a no win scenario Spock.
Redshirt screams and dies horribly
Spock looks at Kirk and raises an eyebrow.
Kirk: Bones, Looks like we need another redshirt.
McCoy: Dammit Jim! I'm a doctor not a personnel officer! -
Quote:Please don't let this one thread stop you from making other suggestions. So this one idea didn't go over well. Big deal. Your next one, or the one after that could be a huge hit.Originally Posted by mintmiki
Thank you for that.
But from now on, I'll just stick to costume suggestions and interior design suggestions for bases. I don't know what I'm talking abut with the whole IO stuff. I'll leave it to the experts.
Don't walk away thinking people hate your idea, but rather that you found a topic people care a great deal about.

And from what I can find on the internet the only thing I can find is a post saying he did a voiceover in one of the movie's advertising trailers.
I went thru the movie credits and didn't see his name anywhere. -

I am now awaiting to see people running around with a beast run, while looking like a normal human being
If swinglines that go offscreen is considered bad by people, I can only think normal human beings running around like an animal will be just as bad. -
Quote:And this is why the devs call them ULTRA RARE. They are designed to be harder to get than normal rare drops. The fact that you are having a hard time getting them is proof that the drop rate and the RNG are working as intended.Originally Posted by mintmiki
The whole point of this thread was to alleviate the problem that PVP IOs are not just rare, they are pretty much impossible to get with regular gameplay in a reasonable amount of time.

Quote:You do realize that by taking away the PvE aspect the PvEers will lose interest in aquiring a useless IO and the market will become even more barren as the PvEer's that want them will stop going into PvP to get them. Yes, there are PvEer's that participate in PvP solely to get those drops and not because they enjoy PvP.Originally Posted by mintmiki
You say that I'm dreaming? Those "hard core" pvpers have mostly resorted to afk farming for PVP Ios.
They have been complaining about drop rates for months now. My solution? Give them what they want. End of story.
Way to kick the already miniscule PvP population in the teeth. -

I assume Ultramarine is a term that unique to Warhammer while the phrase Space Marine is a term used in several video games and the scifi genre.
In the Warhammer Universe a Primarch known as Horus - widely regarded as the Emperor's favored son and made Warmaster upon the Emperor's return to Earth - succumbs to the temptations of the Chaos Gods, sparking an event known as the Horus Heresy. 9 of the 18 Space Marine Legions (together with fully half of the Imperial Army and associated forces) turn against the Imperium of Man.
After the Horus Heresy, the Primarch of the Ultramarines, Roboute Guilliman, pushed for the adoption of his personal battle doctrine (known in-game as the Codex Astartes) to organise the remaining loyal Space Marine Legions, where the 9 loyalist legions are split into more than 1,000 chapters, each consisting of 10 companies of Marines.
The names of the nine legions that remained loyal to the Emperor are as follows:
Dark Angels
White Scars
Space Wolves
Imperial Fists
Blood Angels
Iron Hands
Ultra Marines
Salamanders
Raven Guard
And the names of the Traitor Legions that became the Chaos Marines are as follows:
Emperor's Children
Iron Warriors
Night Lords
World Eaters
Death Guard
Thousand Sons
Word Bearers
Alpha Legion
Luna Wolves / Sons of Horus / Black Legion - This unit was renamed once in honor of Warmaster Horus before the Heresy and again by Abaddon the Despoiler after they joined the forces of Chaos. -
