Quote:I'd imagine it is the same for both male and female. Only the player character changes in the cut scenes.
Also you can go to your account page to "upgrade" your account with more character slots... $10 USD each. Yeah, the sticker-shock got me too.
=========================================
Oh, for new players, I'd -highly- recommend the following post:
TSWGuides' "My first 60" Point starting builds
Glad to here I can get more slots when I want them. The price doesn't surprise me tho. I've been defending what Paragon Market charged us for stuff compared to other games for many months.
The price does leave me feeling disappointed. I splurged and put my budget into the red to pick up TSW and I only just got it back into the black. Hopefully I was successful in juggling some of my bill payments so my next due date will be after Nov 1. If not I'm gonna get hit with late fees and overdraft charges come the last week of Oct.
So high market prices means I won't be spending a lot on this game. I just can't afford it. -
Quote:No damnit I am not going to let you trick me into letting my curiosity spur me into making a female dragon to find out what you are talking about.I played a bunch yesterday on the last day of my trial. I'm really liking the Pistols/Chaos combo. I went through the other factions intros. I liked them all and was really surprised at the consequence of picking a female character for the Dragon.
-
Even if they are successful I doubt they'll open up the faction and gender restricted costumes pieces to every character.
-
No I can't.
I'm talking character concepts not power/skill builds.
Certain costumes are restricted to faction so you need different characters to get access to them, and gender also requires creating different characters and has it's own restricted costumes.
Also from what I've seen costume "sets" don't have interchangeable costume pieces. Which means we can't take something we like from one set and use it with something else. It's all or nothing. -
GODDAMMIT!
So many character concepts, and so few character slots.
Damn City of Heroes for infecting me with Altitis! -
Quote:Yes the stalker and bullies are responsible. If it weren't for their conscious choices to pursue and persecute the victim, this tragedy would not have occurred.I wasn't implying that the victim is the problem, but rather questioning whether the stalker is responsible for their actions if they are irrational or suffering from a mental illness.
Actual laws were broken, which included distribution of child pronography, and physical assaults. People need to go to prison for what they did to that poor girl. Sadly the bullies will be ignored and the stalker may never get caught.
Edit: And in case anyone thinks about making a what if justification. It's not relevant. "What if's" have nothing to do with what actually happened. Stick to the facts. -

Quote:I decided to unlock the rest if the inner wheel. I love Shotgun but the Rifle is leaving me feeling like I'm not performng at my full potential. I'll experiment and see what happens with Melee and Magic.That depends a lot on playstyle. Do you like your current build? Do you feel you are missing something? Then you might start looking into the outer wheel skills for shotgun and assault rifle to see if there's anything that would support your current build, or cover a weakness in your current build.
Or, if you're tired of it you could start digging into something else that sounds interesting. Personally, I think you can't do wrong with starting off with unlocking all inner-wheel skills for all weapons. There are some really nice stuff in the outer wheel, but it's not essential for a solid build through most of the game, and later you will earn enough AP that starting on those skills doesn't feel like such a huge deal. Also, you get a snazzy chest piece. But, again, depend on what you hope to get out of it.
I was originally running chaos/shotgun, and felt I was lacking a solid AoE finisher, so I went deep into shotgun for the Shotgun Wedding skill, which is an absolute riot.
Not sure I care about new costume piece for this character as I'm pretty satisfied with what he's got on now.
-
Color me stupid but for clarification, when you say you unlocked all of the inner ring, do you mean you unlocked every power i.e. chaos, blood, elementalism, shotgun, pistol, rifle, etc., etc., etc.?
-
Looking for advice. I have 10 SP and 40+ AP to spend and I'm not sure what to unlock next. I'm running a Shotgun/Assault Rifle Dragon with all the basic powers unlocked. hould I continue unlocking the outer circle or start something in melee or magic. If so which would be the best choice?
All opinions appreciated -

Quote:You can sit there and yell at me all you want. The fact remains that this type of deviant behavior and the calamities that can result are due to the ability of people to send/access personal info 24-7. -
Quote:I agree. But I wouldn't be surprised to learn that his apparent lack of empathy is a defensive mechanism related to the trauma he himself suffered at the hands of bullying as a kid.I seriously doubt that Tenzhi is a psychopath.
I can think of a much better candidate but he hasn't been here (as far as I know) for years.
But my theory could easily be dismissed as armchair psychology and quackery. -
All I'm gonna say is that in my opinion anyone that lays any blame on that poor girl are worse criminals than the pedophile and bullies that drove her to commit suicide because they are encouraging these things to continue happening by making excuses.

Quote:And I've read posts made by people that don't like CoH saying the exact same things.I am sorry but this game looks like crap.
Little to no customization.
Weak animations.
Mind numbing game play
Stiff atmosphere
Just horrible. I've been watching gameplay videos of it trying to get into it and I will never even try this game from what I saw.
Just my 2 cents.
You are entitled to your opinion. The games simply not for you. Thanks for sharing. -
Looks interesting but I don't see a trial offered. Not risking $60 bucks if I can't test the game first to see if I like it.
-
Quote:Which then begs the question: Why not sell it to recoup some costs and or get some profit????
While revenues may have been slipping...that does not mean CoH was still not producing a profit; albeit obviously not a large enough profit for NCSoft.
BTW I hate the title of this thread. "Murder" is a pretty harsh word for a business decision imo...a bit on the dramatic side.
Why not sell it? If they sell it then they can only claim it is worth what someone else paid for it. By refusing to sell it they can use creative accounting on taxes and claim it is worth whatever they think they can get away with. -
Quote:Having Sprint on was what I needed. I was able to finally get those last two lore objects in Seoul on my main. I should have the technique perfected by the time I finish getting them on my other three characters.Turn on sprint get a couple steps running jump. It helps to have one or two sprint speed increases (you can buy them in your faction's HQ after certain ranks). There might be another extremely late game option that you'll eventually have: there is a rocket jump called "death from above".
Took me an hour (and a couple of youtube videos) to catch the trick to those.
Quote:Unless you're watching behind you it can be really hard to tell who's leaving and who's joining the chase and it really can seem like you're being chased all the way across town. It is annoying.
Quote:Ah, that makes sense. You may have collected a volunteer fireman or two as well, and they can hit pretty hard.
Quote:Ah, so it was more of an analogy? Sorry about confusion.
Quote:There's an early tooltip that tells you about sprint that I saw once - on my fourth character. I learned about it by seeing other players outrun me and checking keybinds.
Quote:In time you may come to rely on the mechanic. I know I do. -

Quote:Uhm you need to check your facts before drawing conclusions about cause and effect.You also have to realize that City of Heroes basically bombed in their target market (Asia). Since this refocusing seems to be along the lines of focusing on the Asian market, it's not totally out of the blue that they would close CoH, because it doesn't fit in with their long term goals of expanding the Asian market.
Crap, I've been taking lessons from Mojo Jojo again, darn it....
1. CoH Korea bombed back in January 2006 and never launched.
2. NCSoft didn't purchase City of Heroes until November of 2007, nearly 2 years later.
That's right CoH Korea bombed when it was still owned by Cryptic.
So yeah it's safe for people to say the decision by NCSoft to shut down CoH 6 years later was totally unexpected and out of the blue. -
Reading this thread makes me so glad I gave up on that show when I did.

Quote:I hope what I encountered was a bug. I haven't had it happen except on very rare occasionsSome of the draugr will chase you forever, which is probably a bug (I've had a pair of sea witches chase me from the beach to the MorningLight camp, once). I haven't experienced that with townie zombies though.
There used to be an issue with the Ak'ab as well, that would chase you endlessly. But this was actually caused by another bug... once you aggroed an Ak'ab, it had to trigger it's charge first attack on you, which somehow overrode the leach distance (technically, I don't think mobs have leach distances in TSW, it's some other mechanic). Which meant that an Ak'ab would chase you clear across the Savage Coast, hit you once, and then leach back (unless you attacked it back, or someone else hit it on the way in which case you could end up fighting it).
On top of long aggro range, and a fondness for eachother's company, this made Ak'ab a bit of a pain (especially if you just needed to cross through their lands). Thankfully they aren't terrible difficult to fight, and they will teach you to use that dodge, too!
I remember a similar bug in CoV, too, for that matter. There was an issue where street mobs would never lose aggro. Poor hellions chased me from one end of Port Oakes to the other, and then back again.
Quote:It's really bad in TERA. Over there they have huge enemies that can potentially take 45 minutes to an hour to kill. These enemies often have dashing and jumping maneuvers. Imagine spending 30 minutes whittling down a HP bar to almost nothing, only to have the enemy jump or dash out of its own designated aggro area and reset its HP to full.... Gee ... You're just full of good news.

Quote:Just knowing I'm not the only one makes me feel a lot better about this.As far as I know you can't increase your jumping distance. Those two are VERY annoying, but it can be done with regular old jump. It just takes some precise timing and a lot of luck.
