So this has gone Global to all CoX players? Interesting.

I have to agree. Just use (or don't use) powers based on your costume. I've got a size-changer that is only 'stealthy' when small. So I just don't use my stealth power when big.

I logged in today and was talking about using the NCSoft Launcher (seems to be mostly intergrated) and someone noticed that this 'costume' part is available.
Kind of a funky triple wisp of mist that circles your bodies.
Are we getting something early? -

If that changed happened before then, then I missed it, but I've been listening about Incarnates since I've been with the game. Once upon a time, it was the excuse for why he's so much more powerful than us. There's been talk about an Incarnate AT as far back as 2005, as well.
I believe jack stated his power as 'human will' not because of his super-powers but because of the way he led people as a 'statesman'.
Anyone can have super-powers. But it does not make you a super-hero. -
Quote:I have to agree with that. Even with no rares slotted, we still got map-kicked just after clearing everything for a second attempt on Lord Recluse....
Unbelievable. I'd like to make a suggestion; never time an open beta to coincide almost entirely with a Double EXP Weekend again. In fact, never have an open beta overlap with a Double EXP Weekend at all.
Write that down in big bold letters in your company policy manual, possibly with underlining for emphasis and humorous clip-art. Have it engraved to the brass plaque affixed to a marble bust of Fusionette facepalming. Have it tattooed on every one of your QA team members, using ink mixed with the blood of whoever scheduled this.
Talk about a crappy way to end a launch day. -
Hmm. I keep getting a connection to server is lost when trying to access the server list. Do they have one of the update servers out of synch again?

Quote:Actually, I made a fairly tragic character that is a 'child'. She was a crazy 11ish-year old girl growing up in Kings Row. Her favorite books were by H.P. Lovecraft and his ilk, to get away from her low-life mother and living in abject poverty.There aren't any gas stations either. Or churches.
Penny Yin is young but not a "child" (depending on how you wish to define it). Penelope is a child.
We can't play children because you have to be an adult to get a hero license. Arachnos won't issue villain licenses to kids either no matter how evil they are. Lord Recluse refuses to believe that a kid can be his chosen one - mostly because of the implications of those words.
My solution is to not play 8-year-olds.
She finally decided to take action, after all there were real super-heroes and villains with magical powers. So she managed to get some of the Tsoo's mystical ink and poisoned herself trying to tatoo a symbol to call Chtullu into this world and activated her mutation.
But she had seen her sudden growth into an adult 8' woman as divine proof that she had been heard and was to shepherd Earth into the abyss. So she cobbled a costume before her mother got done with her latest trick and went out into Kings Row to start destroying everything.
And got promptly arrested by Apex and thrown into the Zig. They thought she was pretty crazy, but she made it all the way to the top in the Rogue Isles before Apex finally discovered what had happened from her mother.
Now she's reformed and a heorine, though having to adjust to her meds. -

I still have a minor phobia of making a hero-side Science based character thanks to the Vhazilok.
I remade one of my original characters twice, trying to get past the 10s or so where you got way too many Vhazilok missions.
Eventually I made that Invulnerability Tank a mutant and got to 50.
Still think Vahz are a bit broken for low levels. -
Like I said when this goes live, it's basically about making some people feel like zeros instead of being able to solo him without massive inspiration use and zerg-rushing.
Considering this is supposed to be about you standing out against all the 'other people' on your way to super-duper-I'm-finally-going-to-be-powerful, I actually really hate this change. -
Quote:I have to agree. This is basically turning my squishies into LOSERS that can't even use a tactic to get around someone's high regen rate solo.[/LIST][/LIST]Which Dev is getting all bothered and upset that players find an alternative way to solve a problem?
You know, in the comics, separating a foe from their power source is usually a winning tactic as much as destroying their power source.
There's a pattern here. A bad one. Where other MMOs get applauded that encounters are not rigidly designed to be completed in only one way, CoH, which *used to* be like that is heading down the road of the egotistical Dungeon Master who forces players to find the *right way* or die.
Rather than applauding player ingenuity in finding non-exploitive alternate solutions, they get punished.
I find that reprehensible.
For shame.
Now I have to use two 'auto-completes' to get this Arc done solo, because even the Weakened Honoree is totally broken against defenders and corruptors.
Yeah, that make me feel like I'm becoming an incarnate... -
They need to add the electronic goodies from the COV collectors edition... then I can really have everything.
Otherwise... not a lot to buy on Monday. -
Quote:If by eliminating you mean replacing the old model and texture with a new, upgrade one for the same basic look but much higher resolution... I'd be all for that.HYPOTHETICAL OPTION 1: Old assets would be removed from the Costume Creator menu and you'd have the newer, updated ones instead.
Pro: This raises the overall quality bar of the game by eliminating the oldest, least-attractive pieces; players look cooler; everything looks more consistent and modern. Less menu clutter.
Con: change is scary; perhaps some players will prefer the old pieces?
Quote:Possible grist for the mill:
--non-animated tails were left in Costume Creator when Animated Tails were added. Do any of you use the non-moving ones at this point?
I'd be super-all-for something that adds updating the character creator so that you can have multiple colors on the tights patters, increase the model polygons and gives us the ability to texturize it with cloth, shiny cloth, leather and metal (the one thing I think CO did correctly.) -
Quote:GHARRRGHAAHAHHHGHGH!
Any way I can convince you Devs to make it a priority?
I have to agree. Power Pool customization just keeps getting further and further away.
It's incredibly annoying that I can highly change the appearance of my GFX on powers... except the APPs and PPPs.
It's a nagging, irritating annoyance that my SS/Elec/Mu Brute is covered in blue good-guy electricity and then I throw red bolts of electricity.
Even my fire/flame controller is not looking forward to making 41 because I'll just have to shoehorn in one of the APPs without a bit of coloring. So I'm going to have this jarring thing going on then too.
Hate, hate, hate not being able to customize some things.
Kheldians stuck in Peacebringer or Warshade colors, non-tintantable Widow psychics...
It makes me want to not take those powers. -
I used him in one of my AE arcs too (it was a self-made 'revenge' mission for one of my characters that was sent to the Zig by him.)
-
Heh. Make the last one a choice of buckling under to Hard Case or an option to immediately spawn an instance where you fight him as a Boss.

Quote:So when are Seers and Destroyers getting downgraded from ridiculous to merely normal?Powers
Critters
- Toned down the Syndicate villain group, especially at lower levels:
- Removed one of the melee attacks from minions
- Created slower attacking versions of the Lts and Bosses for low levels.
Stacking Psi with sonic (and tons of KB/KD) is just an exercise in futility.
I've heard that most people playing Controllers and Doms won't even do missions that have Destroyers in them because they are so broken.
This also doesn't change the fact that 'staggered' difficulty really means 75% of all mobs you will face will be +1 to you and +2 to your side kick.
I'm very, very frustrated that these sort of things are still going on over a year. They are making duoing with my friend an exercise in frustration and multiple trips to a hospitals at +0x0. - Toned down the Syndicate villain group, especially at lower levels:

Any word about getting door missions like four zones away? Having to go from Peregrine Island to Crey's Folly and *back* is a total PITA.
Is it really too much that it can't be in the same zone or a closely connected zone? -
Weren't we supposed to get a no FX version of Super Strength and Martial Arts?
Some of us don't want super-flashy punches with lights and sparkles. -
I wonder if this fixed fly emotes with the PBAOE toggles on too?
-
But it is noa!
Nao to go use it and hope its active! -
Looks like we have to wait for NCSoft's store servers to finish maintenance. :/

I wouldn't mind it going on sale after the giveaway, but I'll probably have to wait until tomorrow to give my money away.
