Quote:Twilight's Grasp is an awesome power. Because it has a large radius, has a high heal, and debuffs your enemies. Because of this, it has the ToHit check. If it hit every single time, then it would be over powered. It's a balance issue. The fact that is CAN miss is the point! If you don't want a heal to have a chance to miss, you should look into other power sets.Originally Posted by seebs
There's a specific reason I endorse this:
Twilight Grasp.
It really, really, sucks if your heals can miss. And especially if there is NOTHING you can do to prevent it from happening.
And there is something you can do to lessen the odds of it missing. Slot for accuracy, and set bonuses that improve your accuracy. -

The Scrapper I handed the star off to tells me; "That isn't my job."
In Warcraft 3 you could hit Alt+QQ to quit a match. If someone complained to much they were told to "Stop complaining or QQ". Eventually it became a taunt by the uber-L337, when they'd win a match saying the loser is unskilled and should just quit. As with Emoticons, the QQ could look like a big pair of eyes with tears, it became more of a "Cry more noob" type of thing. And like was said before "Less QQ more pew pew" basically means stop crying, and fight.Quote:The Scrappers other scrapper friend then tells me; "Less qq more pew pew" (I don't even know what this means) -

With a few well placed scholarships imagine the basketbal team the University in Croatoa could have simply by recruiting some Fir Bolg Streng? The Founders Falls Football team could have a very impressive offensive and defensive line for their football team simply by offering Devouring Earth Boulders a free ride. :-D

Huh.. I wondered what the sound was that was made when a limb was ripped from the body. Now I know it's "Plorp".

Quote:So... what you're saying is, you didn't even come up with these yourself? You went into a stickied thread, one that will stay at the top of this forum, copied other peoples ideas, and posted them into a new thread...Originally Posted by Ouch_Grouch
all i did was go thought all the listing of the most requested day job
Why?
Seriously, if every one of those day jobs you listed are already on the forum, why put them up here again? -
Quote:At first I thought you were going to say that you wanted to remove the limbs from other players to beat them with. Would be a fun PvP moment.Originally Posted by SiGGy
On the flipside, I want to be able to remove limbs from my characters. Amputee Man isn't the same with those silly, dangly fleshthings
-
...ok. Now go through that entire list, and redo it to where it makes sense.
1: Name of the Day job.
2: Log out locations.(Remember, one location CANNOT be used for two day jobs. You've already got Gambler and Professional Athlete by logging out in arenas, but we already have a day job for logging out in arenas.
3: What would be the Day job power associated with each Day job?
4: List them all in the same manner so that other people can understand it. For example...
Bus Driver - Logging out while standing in a bus stop - def/res to toxic and psychic damage -
Quote:No. No no. No no no. first off, vet rewards are up to 75 months now, that's over six years, and new vet rewards are going to come after that, they're not go to add more in the middle. Secondly, if someone has been playing this game, even casually for three years, can make this much inf/prest easily. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for them to give away the stuff. Not to mention, what's to stop me from making a new character, trading in my token, getting free inf, emailing it to myself, delete, and repeat until I have an infinite amount of inf?Originally Posted by Ouch_Grouch
1st all these are for player over the 3 year mark so all player have a goal
(1) player get a Trade in token every 3 moth after being awarded this maker
(a) all player Level 50 - 40 Can trade in at the Vault resserve for stock market fund
= $1,000,000 one million Inf
or
= 20,000 sg prestige
(b) Level 39 - 20 Can trade in at the Vault resserve for stock market fund
= $500,000 one million Inf
or
= 10,000 sg prestige
(c) Level 19 - 10 Can trade in at the Vault resserve for stock market fund
= $250,000 one million Inf
or
= 5,000 sg prestige
(d) Level 9 - 1 Can trade in at the Vault resserve for stock market fund

No.
...oh? You want a reason? Well, ok.
1: Including extra limbs means new skeletons for all three models we use(Male, female, and huge). And when each new skeleton, BaBs, and his team would have to redo the animations for every single power in the game. So for every power the in the game, multiply that number by three. That's for adding two arms. But you want up to six arms? triple that number now. That adds up to a lot of work that could be put to better use in making new power sets and animations and emotes and all the other cool stuff they do.
2: As Decorum said, they're not going to make the ATs unbalanced so severely. The fact that you and I could have the exact same AT, Primary and secondary, slotted exactly the same way, with the exact same same enhancements, but because you decided for your character to have four arms instead of two means you're doing twice as much damage as me... yeah not gonna happen. That would make it almost a requirement to have multiple limbs, not to mention they would have to rebalance the difficulties of the mobs we face.
Edited to add...Quote:You do realize scrappers don't get either DP or archery power sets, right? Did you mean defenders? As they have access to these sets, or are you also suggesting a scrapper get these sets? Because that I can guarantee won't be happening.Scrapper could attack with duel pistols 6 gun or 2 bows/arrows -

As for the response to my first post... yes, I gathered that it was meant to be a "Has this happened to anyone else?" but my point was, no question was actually asked, and the tone one would get from the rant(anger, obviously) only led to other rants, and was not productive at all. -

Quote:http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/File:CoH_Size_Chart.jpgOriginally Posted by Vel_Overload
These are classified as Giant Monsters but their mental classification is Somewat-tougher-than-AVs. I ment by size.. not classification..
Theres a word for people like you.. just don't remember it.
While comparing to Rularuu those Giant Monsters might seem small, compared to how big our characters can get, those guys are giant. As in size. And as Wonderslug has already pointed out, having monsters that are as large as Rularuu right now is not possible. The devs have problems getting the hit box to work right, if I remember correctly. So while yes it would be awesome for the giant Mekkmen, and Rularuu to be fightable NPCs, right now, it's not possible.
Also, just because you look at the current GMs as "somewhat-tougher-than-AVs" doesn't mean they're not Giant Monsters, which is exactly what you're asking for. -
Quote:Nope, which is why I'm not suggesting new ATs. I think we're pretty well covered, though if the devs do come out with more I'll be more than happy to try them out.Originally Posted by Power_NA
Do yuo have a good idea for a new Archetype? The other ones are all old :0 all 10, though I really only play 4 of them :P

Quote:Awesome is biased. What you think is awesome, others will think is lame. And the devs will only add something if it can be balanced, and is something the game actually needs.Originally Posted by Power_NA
Who said this was balance? and I am wanting something awesome! Also this not a tankmage, then do high damage and high defense hehehe. Why is it a bad idea to have balance?
-
Quote:Balance would be an issue. And really, if you're controlling the mobs, why do you need defense? Also, if this were implemented, hit points would probably be med to low, andOriginally Posted by Power_NA
I think these two archetype will be the best! They will kick butt. Controller everyone and take little damage It would be like a Controller no but more defense and no heals.
Primary: Defense
Secondary: Control
High Hit Points
Medium Damage
You will be almost unstoppable! It would be so cool. We still will have powers that go togather...
fire/fire
ice/ice
earth/earth
electric/electric
Here the other powers you have.
Gravity Control/Invulnerability
Illusion Control/Dark Armor
Mind Control/Willpower
Plant Control/Shield Defense
Tanktroller may be a bad name heheh, what do you think?
damage probably low.
We already have with with Masterminds. The difference is it summon, buff/debuff. Because the summon comes with ranged attacks.Quote:Or we can do a Mobster...
Primary: Range
Secondary: Summon
It would be awesome! Do high damage and have 6 buddies (not including Gang War) It would be so cool!
Mercenaries/Assault Rifle
Necromancy/Psychic Blast
Ninjas/Archery
Robotics/Energy Blast
Thugs/Dual Pistols
Demon Summoning/Fire Blast
Electrical Blast
Ice Blast
Radiation Blast
Sonic Attack
I think we need pets power sets.... But I think this would be a fun person to play!!!

Quote:My suggestions would be...Originally Posted by eternalYouth
what would you suggest?
1: Go to the PvP forums, found here. Not saying you're questions are not welcome here, or won't be answered, but you'll be able to get more PvP minded people there to help out.
2: Go to your server's forum, found here, and ask about PvP there. Do they have any active PvP super/villain groups? Would anyone be willing to help give you some pointers in game? That sort of stuff. Because like mentioned earlier, there are different rules going from PvE to PvP.
3: Visit the Wiki, found here. There is a plethora of info on the game in general, including how stealth works. If you got the time to read up, here you can find the wiki's info on PvP.
Personally, I'm always of the opinion, play what YOU want to play, not just what's good for (PvP, farming, AV killing, TFs, etc etc etc). You might get told to make a certain type of character to PvP, and become a PvP God with it, but if you don't like the power sets, you're not going to enjoy your godliness, you know?
Anyway, good luck! -
Would it be cool if CoH/V had an app like this? Yes. However I wouldn't expect one until they get City Vault up and running.
If you don't know what City Vault is, it's basically where you could go online and view stats, badges, PvP rep, costumes etc etc etc, for yourself and others.
Unfortunately that project has been shelved for a little over a year now. Check out the wiki article here.
So when they do figure out City Vault, and get it up and running, then ask for an App. -

Well, part of the reason that Ouro has the TF restrictions, of not being able to add teammates throughout the arc is so, one person doesn't start the arc, play all the way through to the last mission, invite seven friends, and then they all get merits/badges.
Also, I think it would be too confusing having Ouro use two different systems like what you propose. I understand what you're saying/getting at, but I just don't think it will work. -

People still use AP? I respecced out of that for HO back in I7 (I think). My HO can do +451HP with a 1,82sec recharge now. On a Controller, mind.

Quote:And how many level 10 characters normally have 10mil? Unless they've got a sugar daddy/momma to email them the cash, not very many.Originally Posted by Rangle M. Down
Concept: Allows you to purchase a powerset "do over" for any toon level 10 or below. Once you've gotten to level 11 it is NO LONGER accessible. So NO redoing your level 50 from scratch. NO changing AT from tank to scrapper, etc. The purchase price could be anywhere from 1 mil -100 mil influence, but let's start with 10 million influence. There's a minor influence sink.
And you just lost points on the 'Taking you seriously' meter.Quote:Reasoning: Mainly laziness. 
So asking for something the devs have said 'No' to before that you don't even really want?Quote:Conclusion: Is this something I really want? No, not really. I'm fine redoing the toons I can't make work by level 10. But this might be something other people would want so I'm throwing it out here for others to comment on.
No, most likely if this were ever put in, which it won't, the continual requests for full respecs would be asking for the level 10 cap to be raised higher. And why not? If the devs would put in a feature like this, then you're already going back on something they said wouldn't happen, so why not bend the rules more to accommodate more people?Quote:Would this keep down the continual requests for full re-specification threads? It's a nice thought, but the reality is "not a smoking chance in Hades."

Quote:Well, I fiddled around and figured out how to take a screen cap, can only do it in the game world, and not in the costume editor, and I always run on the lowest graphic settings, so my apologies for that, but here's the look I came up with.Originally Posted by Decorum
This may be a sticking point one may have to choose to one's preference. When I made my Virtual Lad, that's exactly what I used (in red, not black) and several of my SG-mates "jumped down my throat" (in a friendly way, of course) that he was still too muscular.
I ended up going to Tights Smooth with a contrasting T-shirt overlay and it looked a LOT better. Plus it's very "in fashion" for kids to be layering a t-shirt over a long sleeved shirt.
But, as always, it all comes down to what you want it to look like.
http://www.humblegenius.com/~forcing...ty/Kidlook.JPG
As for still looking too muscular, could be. It might look more defined in the higher graphics settings, but as always YMMV. -
Okay, I can never get screen caps so I'll just break it all down and tell you what I did at the tailor to make a young boy look.
Size scales.
Male body type
Everything at minimum, except waist at default middle.
Head: Standard
Shape: Youthful
Face: Any of the five Youthful, tho I liked Youthful 1, but pick what you like
Hair: Gusto is my pref, as it's fairly youthful looking. For color, I went with a light blond.
Ears/Detail 1&2 I left at default/None
Upper Body
Chest: Bare Chest Smooth
Chest Sub: Tee. Color it black so the male nipples don't show through.
Shoulders: None
Chest Detail: Pick a chest emblem that looks like it would be a design you could pick up from a store. I like the Dragon, but pick whatever you like, the color it accordingly
Gloves: Bare/Smooth. Sub Gloves: Bare Sub Gloves 2: None
Belt: Standard. Sub Belt: Simple Leather.
Lower Body:Tucked in
Pants: Either Cargo, or Pants, and color blue to make them look like Jean shorts.
Now with boots you have a couple options.
1: Boots: Flat >Bare feet >None
2: Boots: Sneakers(I personally don't like the knee high socks you get with this option, but it's your choice.)
3: Boots: Kung Fu(Again, not to my liking, because they look like slippers, rather then sneakers that a kid would be wearing.)
Here's a saved file of the costume, so you can load it up in game and take a look, if that's easier for you. http://www.humblegenius.com/~forcing...idlook.costume
