ok, im the last person to gush normally but.....

i12 looks like uber win

On top of that, we also have some particle scripts that use pre-colored particle textures. Dark Miasma is a good example of that. We also use geometry in some of our FX scripts, and most of them use some sort of pre-colored texture So things like the bubble for Force Fields, that teal blue-green is the color of the texture that's on that sphere. Those particles and FX geometry would have to have new grayscale textures made for them and then they would need to duped and set up to use color tinting.

I remember around i5 when all the forcefeild colours turned purple......

Latest change is still stupid untill they add in the ability to kick people who have logged out but remain ingrained into the TF system. Aside from griefing potential internet outages and disconnects are not uncommon.

Im all for new ATs, khelds? no thx

Hell... 3 of the 4 guys I do it with can solo 8-man spawns @ level 20. I can solo 4-man spawns.
Until Posi fixes Pool-C itself, this is only going to get exploited harder and harder.

Anyone wanna take Bets on when Positron's gonna make a blurb or statement about this? I'm betting we won't see him at all even though he was obviously the one who made the call. Gawd I love it when that Power-Gamer shirks responsibility ...He finally caves to the Casual Gamers' overwhelming demands for fixing the 30-40 grind and wins some huge brownie points with this community, and then flips around and pulls this Epic-Fail "Fix" in the same patch. HUGE Lolz, son.


BtW, if anyone wants to know his thoughts on the matter, just go read the Market Forum. Those 1337 100t "flippers" are all cut from the same stone he was. The more these recipes cost, the bigger their E-dilz get, and the happier they are. That's Positron's "Fan Base" and the only justification he needs for being a total Miser.

[/ QUOTE ]if positron knows what is good for him then he needs to not touch this thread with a 1000 foot pole. I dont see how any answer he gives will be acceptable at this point.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah fingers in the ears and the "la la la" chant in regards to this, after all we swallowed ED

bullcrap, I saw the post where lighthouse said this was a bug and then that was deleted, lost in the volume my [censored]

Im really not bothered by the change, i like to play my TFs but I get annoyed when the "community co-ordinator" STEALTH obliterates his own post

Speaking as someone in Kiev Airport and having 0 play time over the double xp weekend so not upset that I cant get on I find it rediculous that there isnt a queue system to allow players to at least start the process of getting on once the cap has been reached

Yeah I missed the 'in real time', I think ym briain is addled today.

EG:
Sorry the win goes on. Did you not get the memo that suckage is no longer part of CoX ?

(aside from MOG) *ducks and runs*

[/ QUOTE ]

MoG continuing to suck is the only thing that grounds me in reality.

[/ QUOTE ]

You might want to avoid the Training Room in the near future, then.

[/ QUOTE ]MoG is getting improved huh? Does this mean Dark Armor can get a real tier 9 then to? *puppy dog eyes*

[/ QUOTE ]

hey dark armour is a massive mez attack (admittedly there is a drawback to the caveat to use this ) Now Rise of the phoenix, thats the number 1 sucktastic defensive set t9, hell it doesnt even function as it should half the time....

My two pence

Heroes and Villains NEED to be able to switch sides in the game which would allow for total balancing against each other PvP.

give villains real epics as patrons are pure excrement

Fly is fine, any kind of anti-antifly would break the game and result in swarms of flying /energy blasters with boost range. There is no situation where a flyer shouldnt be brought down with a web nade or snowstorm ever.

There should be a reward system in PvP

Theres a crapload of arena pvp badges already in the game going unused.

Lack of villain perception buff in BB and SC is a joke in the age of stealth IOs

heh thats better than i remembered, i seemed to remember it being just like earth controls poo man

yeah anyone got a pic? I could use a good laugh, I actually searched the net for one but to no avail

but I'm glad to see all the whiney cheapskates with their 'warped sense of entitlement" brings out the honest aggression in the decent folks

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow. So since my opinion differs from your own I'm whiney, warped, cheap and indecent. I don't want anything much, I just don't want everyone to have what was paid for completely. Show me that since I gave the most as a customer I get some consideration. Go ahead and have both games available, but leave them with 8 character slots. They didn't pay for that. No doubt further name calling will proceed due to my warped sense of entitlement.

[/ QUOTE ]

so what you are saying is if someone buys a playstation at launch they should be compensated when prices start falling? after all they are getting what you got for much less

[ QUOTE ]
Six months to a year before the servers get shut down.

[/ QUOTE ]

I will take that bet.

Its a perfect opportunity to re-launch the game and throw some advertising behind it, a advert during one of the myriad of superhero movies, heros (tv show) or comic advert would do wonders for the player base. Now its 100% inhouse there is no fear about your investment dividends going to other people.

Im a huge cynic and think this is a good move

From my point of view insourcing is rarely ever a bad thing, outsourcing however is nearly always a bad thing for customers. So I have little worries about this

That's pretty much what Robert Garriot (NCsoft North America CEO) reiterated to us on the team when he was here to talk with everyone on Friday.

[/ QUOTE ]

Too be fair, LH, CEO's always say that during an acquisition.

But Mr. Garriot doesn't strike me as a man to break what's working, so I'll keep the faith.

[/ QUOTE ]

Now that I did not know. Robert GARRIORT is the CEO? heheh Hmmm.. I wonder how RICHARD GARRIORT found support for his new game Tabula Rasa? To be fair though. Robert is gonna kick his brother's butt when he loses a bundle on TR. Good thing he has a good game like COH to keep feeding NCsoft cash

[/ QUOTE ]

Richard Garriort doesnt make games now, he makes tributes to his own ego. I find plastering your own name on an upcoming product comical.

[ QUOTE ]


Since NCSOft has been RUNNING the game all along, I guess I don't expect much to really change.

My only concern is, we really need to get better support. the standard boilerplate answers to petitions and support questions needs to be upgraded - most issues I've had to demand be escalated to a senior support rep before anyone even UNDERSTOOD it properly.

So, um, yeah, bring some of that to NorCal too, while you're at it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I find it has to go to a senior GM before they even READ them

One thing that I hope comes about from this...

Some actual advertising.

While I don't want CoX to hit WoW numbers (and the associated increase in jerks:non-jerks ratio), it would definitely be nice to see some fresh blood.

Things like Who Wants to be a Superhero and Heroes are so obvious venues for a TV spot or something. "Hey, you're watching superheroes, why not play one?"

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep. Just...don't market to teenagers. PLEASE.

[/ QUOTE ]

Meh. Some teenagers can be quite mature and act like reasonable, rational people. Conversly, some adults can be some of the most frothing at the mouth, irrational idiots in the world.

The game is rated "T for Teen" after all.

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah being a jerk isnt age related, its in the genes

I can only pray that NcSoft are not as emotionaly invested in the excrement that are the villain epics and give villains ones balanced agains hero ones.

"So will we be able to change blaster color powers? Such as, Energy can change from blue to green, Radiation from green to red, Fire from Orange to Blue, Electric from white blue to a gold."




Nope

[/ QUOTE ]

you mean

"not yet"

I agree with the general cencus that DB are ugly and disappointing, I was looking forward to these but unless they have some seriously great powers I wont bother making one.

I dont know why they dont just give us some variety along the lines of the Tsoo and the electric and fire katanas, same powerset as Katana (almost) just a different approach.

have seen a rise in this spam since the free trial codes have been issued

Q: Cathedral of Pain. I know it's not technically PvP but it is the basis of base raiding. Any word whether it will be re-introduced anytime in the future?

Castle: As I said earlier, I’d really, really want this live. I think it's a fun, fast bit of Supergroup/Raid content. It's not even particularly challenging; it's just fun.

nope, no one wants to have their name attached to that poisoned chalice, its the only PM subject i have never got a reply back on.

no new powersets
