Quote:Do you think the devs are spending a large amount of time on new content?Originally Posted by tanstaafl
You seem to keep saying that minimal effects is easy for the devs to do. I'm wondering why you would think that?
Do you have anything to back up that it wouldnt delay any other content?
I'd rather that time spent of the power pools & APPs. Not against minimal effects, but really doubt its that easy.
Each would need a new animation (x3 for body types), that animation would need to work with every possible power combination for that armour (x3 for body types). Insert the rest of standard code rant.
The costume auras are plenty enough to back up the fact that it's easy for the devs to implement. (and if the wp/sr minimal fx were implemented, it's already in the game and would take no effort, whatsoever, to implement as well)
The biggest factor holding back that from being implemented is ego. What developer wants to admit that everyone hates their graphics? -
I'm having a difficult time understanding this. Please tell me you're ESL. If you are, try simplifying your sentences, so they're easier to understand.
-
Turgenev, you must do a lot of coalition recruiting for teams, don't you?
-
Exactly. My Ice Tanker uses his costume and a costume aura to convey his icy defense. He doesn't need to be covered in huge ice cubes.
I get the feeling that the people that are arguing against it, don't even play these power sets, because they didn't like how the armors looked, and it's more of a spite thing. -
I'm indifferent, only because I have no idea how it's going to be implemented yet.
-
I'm not saying we should get the same exact thing as the Minimal FX option, though that wouldn't kill me either.
If you read my second post, I'm saying something less obtrusive would be nice.
I don't think it would take a lot of work either. The models are mostly in place already, in the auras.
How much work would it take to transfer those to armor buffs?
(Let's not forget the buffs we receive from others. It would be nice if those weren't so prominent as well.) -

Minimal FX are only options for the powers that having no visual marker makes sense for.
Invulnerability? So your skin is as tough as steel... why does it have to be double rainbow (oh my god!) shiny?
Willpower? So you're pretty stubborn about not dying... why are you glowing?
Super Reflexes? Dodging stuff makes you ripple? I dunno.
But Ice? That's all about coating yourself with protective layers of frozen water.
Stone? Protecting yourself with rocks.
That kinda stuff is pretty difficult to not see.
I foresaw this response, and I should've headed it off in the original post.
Make sense? In a game in which people fly and summon demons, etc.?
And Minimal FX for those could actually be minimal. Maybe it could be barely perceptible, but it doesn't have to completely shroud my toon in special effects. -
I assume this has been brought up before, but I see nothing, without going past the first few pages after a search.
Is there any particular reason that the Minimal FX option isn't available for all defensive powers?
I'd sure like to have the option for my Dark, Ice, Stone, etc. characters. -

Yeah. How dare you post this information. Don't you know how powerful those powers are? People will be able to get them a week sooner, and it will crash the servers from everyone powerleveling to 50 with them and soloing AVs.

Ok, so since moving to Freedom, I've leveled a few toons through Praetoria, and I've joined a couple late-night teams on blue side.
Red side sucks. Hardly anyone teams, and when I can get one, it's with Corrupters that don't buff or heal, Masterminds with their annoying *** pets (that don't buff or heal), Arachnos with zero team buffs and Brutes that don't tank for squat.
Right now, I'm looking to get my stalker (currently 15) to 20 as quickly as possible, so I can make a team-based Arachnos and get over to blue as quickly as possible.
And, of course, I'm still looking for an active SG, preferably one that utilizes Vent, or even TS. -
I got the message flashed across my screen, but I don't know if it was actually unlocked. I could already make them.
-
No, that's not what I'm asking. I'm talking about unlocking the arachnos.
When I leveled a tanker to 20 in praetoria the other day, I got the "unlocked epic AT" message.
So I then started a stalker in praetoria to unlock arachnos. I leveled to 20 and still couldn't make an arachnos. I had planned to make that stalker a hero, but I thought maybe I had to bring him to villain side before unlocking villain epics.
Well, now, he's sitting in shark island, or something, and I still can't make an arachnos. -
Ok, so I leveled a tanker to 20 in praetoria, and it unlocked the epic ATs, so then I leveled a stalker, but I still can't make an arachnos. What gives?
-
Ok, so did they bring Freedom down already, or is the inability to log into Freedom not planned? I switched on one character 1/2 hour ago to email som inf to a new toon, and I haven't been able to get back in.

Maybe it's just because all of my toons are on Virtue, at least until I decide to which server I want to transfer them this week, but about 90% of my PUG experiences have been the worst. Roleplayers are the worst players ever.
-
I've recently returned to the game after having been gone since a few months after release.
I was on Virtue, but I'm sick of the inept play of roleplayers.
If I'm going to continue to play this game, I need to find a server on which I can play.
I'm looking for an active SG, with mature members, that groups often and does some TFs and trials.
