What's the point of being able to pick and choose all of Coin's powers, making them all fit with a costume only to have it spoilt by the yellow glow of super speed and hasten? And the same applies for other pools as well.

Makes no sense to me.

Unless the devs have taken into account the huge amount of work it's taken so far to get PC for our primary and secondary pools, and are aiming to launch GR before the holidays, so they don't have the rest of the year to work on converting all the other pools for PC, and have decided that the other pools will be added to PC later, as the primary and secondary ones are the main ones people use.

It seems that 'Soon' now has an actual time frame!

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not sure - I think this counts as "Very Soon", which isn't quite the same as "Soon".

Is there anything else we need to do before the migration, Avatea?

[ QUOTE ]

72 hours before boards are working?

[/ QUOTE ]

It'll be a long 72 hours

[ QUOTE ]
It will certainly take less time if there are less PMs to transfer over indeed!

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, I am now totaly PM free

EDIT: Will the new forums allow us to have two or more words for our names without having to put a "_" between them?
Like could I use "Golden Girl" instead of "Golden_Girl"?

[ QUOTE ]
So I'm still stuck with the Yellow Pom Pom's of doom then??

[/ QUOTE ]

You mean Hasten? I'm sure all other power pools will get attention eventually

[ QUOTE ]
Please don't tell me you're not used to it by now...

[/ QUOTE ]

Try here

If I totally clear out my PMs, will that make it easier?

[ QUOTE ]
Busted

[will let carnie take the pleasure in telling why]

Edit: Though i suppose more people might read it here too so hmm worthy of a bust or not . . . . . . . ah dont know!

[/ QUOTE ]

Bust, or bust not - those who hesitate are busted themselves

I just thought - if you can set the animations per costume like you can the colors, then you could do something like make a 4 foot pixe using the MA kicks, then use a cc emote and become a 7 foot Huge model using the MA alternative punch animations

[ QUOTE ]
This is just getting better and better.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes - it's almost as if the devs have been going to insane lengths to please us

A little bit more info from BAB:

[ QUOTE ]
Powers can be individually customized per costume slot, but not supergroup mode.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think GR will be slightly larger than the second paid expansion that will take us to Atlantis

[ QUOTE ]

Any chance of some further info on this, like if it's even still happening?

[/ QUOTE ]

It is - and my guess is it'll be around the time of GR, maybe even before

What's the final step "Register" for?

And if you need any in-game help, you can contact me on my global chat handle @Golden Girl - I'm on Defiant server

I thought people might be a bit careful of Funcom now

[ QUOTE ]
If it wasn't for CoV I'd have prolly quit CoH by now tbh.

5 new ATs, 9 new powersets (I think:cold, therm, plant, thorn, zombies, bots, ninjas, mercs, poison)

A shedload of new content, simple zone based repeat mission introduction, plenty of QoL (so much has changed in that respect since launch I can't attribute any specifics to CoV but I'm pretty sure it was a fair chunk), not to mention 6 new (pretty large) zones full of contacts and a few GM hunts, a large number of new badges, new enemy groups (lb, wyvern, legacy chain), not to mention zonal pvp and the opportunity to make 'bad guys' :>

I enjoy it anyway

EDIT: 10 powersets* lol traps.

[/ QUOTE ]

So far, GR seems to have less power sets, less new ATs, and possibly less new zones than CoV - but as it's not supporting an entire new faction, it doesn't need to be as big as CoV.
But if it does add a "neutral" faction choice, then it still wouldn't need as much as CoV, because Villains could only access Villain content, but a neutral faction could access Paragon City and the Rogue Isles at the same time.

Fun facts:
To date, power customization for Primary and Secondary player powers has involved
1,241 individual powers.

which use use 1,620 FX scripts

which reference 5,144 particle scripts.

(Yes, those 1,241 powers are from just the powersets listed in the Issue 16 overview page.)

I'm still trying to nail down an exact date for when we started working on this, but so far the earliest reference I can find is from a document created in March of 2008. I know there were some meetings before that document was made, but I can't find the date or meeting notes from the initial "Lets do this!" meeting, which I would consider the official start of this massive undertaking.

Unofficially, I've been trying to figure out ways to do it since around Issue 11, but every idea involved new tech and a tremendous amount of data parsing...two things that simply would have never happened back then with the size of our team.

Obviously, we haven't been working 100% on this since we started. A bit here, a bit there...time taken for other Issues, bug fixes, booster packs, etc. But we've been working on it pretty focused for the last 6-8 months.

Oh! Does anyone expect any serious bugs?

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't be silly. Closed Beta will squash them all.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, I think most of the bugs will be pertty easy to spot this time
MA closed beta was tougher, because it was hard to tell if something was a bug, or if it was just the author who'd left something out.

Another thing I'm wondering about - do you think that the revamped costume creator will have somewhere where you can view the powers and animations, to help with choosing the look you want?
The MA already incldues a little animation preview, so maybe they'll use something similar for previewing powers?

[/ QUOTE ]

What something like this?


[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, just like that

Live in August, perhaps? That'd give plenty of time for GR this year - maybe

[ QUOTE ]
for example: when I kick things in real life there's no blinding flash coupled with a thunderclap.

[/ QUOTE ]

Then you need to kick more electrical things

A fight with all powers totally invisible would look rather cool

[ QUOTE ]
Ah, most delectable... only 15 months more to go. Wonder who will last longer, me or the game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Both, I think

[ QUOTE ]
Tea? Coffee? Going Rogue? City of Heroes anybody?


[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, thanks - I'll have a coffee and some GR info, please.
