Quote:I'm not completely happy with it being tied to the Raid badges as well, but it would still be a step up from being tied to Invasions only. If the devs went this route I would ask that they tie them to Invasions OR MS Raid, that way you have the option.Originally Posted by Feycat
Please, yes.
PS: I vote AGAINST it being tied to a mothership raid badge. I've never done one and don't want to. Let's not tie a costume piece to RAID content, please? A "defeat 100 Rikti bosses" badge would be brilliant.
Tie them to any Rikti related badge is definitely one of the better ways to go, giving every player an equal chance.
...then globally unlock them. -
In order to unlock any of Rikti swords or blasters you need the Watchman Accolade. This accolade requires 3 badges you can only obtain during a Rikti Invasion (and it took me several invasions to finally get them all, especially the UXBs.)
Invasions are very, very rare these days, I guess one only launches after a LGTF now.
Solutions?
More invasions - Please regularly schedule some invasions to happen, at least give us a fighting chance.
Better solution you say?
Tie them to another Rikti badge - Mothership Raid badges are still slightly unfair to those on lower population servers, but are still an improvement over being locked to Invasions. A new "Defeat 100 Rikti Bosses" badge would also work well.
Even better you dare ask?!
Global Unlocking - Keep them how they are, but allow the pieces to be unlocked account-wide. Make this for all unlockables while you're at it and we'll call it a day. -
I've long lobbied for a Storm Armor powerset, but this Storm Aura is even better! Couple that with some low/no FX powersets and you've got a perfect Storm Armor character. Here's to hoping it definitely has two colors (one for clouds, one for lightning) though.

Thanks for the announcement Ocho, great news!

Great news! I believe I'll be planning a new earth themed alt around that Firefly work, nice work.

I think ultra-big weapons and armor would work fine in this game. City of Heroes is nothing if not eclectic. I can team with Fae creatures, zombies, silver age heroes and post-apocalyptic, time traveling robot ninjas at any time. Why would someone with a really big gun or sword really be that out of place?

Male characters currently have access to two new auras, I'm sure the devs are doing this intentionally as a peak at what is coming soon
Both auras shown in White:

Probably there by accident, but they are gorgeous, especially the Firefly aura.
Here's some pics, both auras shown in White:

That is my thought too. So no from me. I don't have any toons with hasten, and would like to change other pool stuff instead.
I'm with everyone else that I'd like to see Power Pool PC done right, but I think a "stop gap" solution would be to offer FX / FX In PVP Only options first. This would satisfy most people's wants for Power Pool PC, then when they have more time go back and offer color-able tints for all the powers. -
Pretty much everything since GR/i18 has ran perfect for me except tip missions in Longbow bases.
The lag and huge drop in frame rate make these missions almost unplayable. I've gotten in the habit of just auto-completing these tips as I get them. I forgot the command to see your frame rate in-game, but I'd estimate my frame rate drops to 1-5 fps.
Anyone else experiencing a similar problem in these maps only? -
Quote:DE definitely has the potential to cause as much trouble, but if GDN and ED had launched along with the Invention system simultaneously, it probably wouldn't have been as big a deal. Explain DE clearly in a well worded announcement, launch it with some other major buffs and rebalances and I think it would be received much better than ED.Originally Posted by Havoc_X
DR for PvE would cause a bigger amount of /ragequit than ED and GDN combined. I really hope they don't make that big of a mistake.
-
Power Pool Customization:
-I hope its coming soon, but no where near big enough an issue to need a signed NDA.
New Animations, Possible removal of rooting and travel power supression:
-Hell yes, removing those two things would revolutionize the game, but I don't see why it would require a signed NDA.
Diminishing Returns in PvE:
-I believe its this or something like it. Wasn't the massive furor from ED caused when someone in CoV beta leaked it? A signed NDA would help to stop something like this from leaking. DE applied to PvE has the potential to stir up just as much hate as ED did. I think if the devs deliver DE along with some massive buffs simultaneously it could work. The devs better tread lightly with something like this though.
My opinion?
City of Heroes 2.0
-Not a traditional MMO sequel in that a new box is released, the old game is pushed to the side and the playerbase is fragmented, City of Heroes 2.0 is an evolution and "re-launch" of City of Heroes. By utilizing City of Heroes' current staggering amount of content, revamping the game engine, introducing some new systems and upgrades, City of Heroes 2.0 could be re-launched to the public to compete with other more current MMOs -
Of all the MarDun art, and there is a lot of it, this is by far my favorite, bud! This artist is amazing, mega-congrats!

Start a protest!

Servers are still down, the Server Status page is broken and showing the server status from September 7.

Sounds plausible enough, if they wanted to show a "psi-war" type battle that took place in the mind I don't see how it wouldn't look like the fight scenes in Inception.
For some reason this article got me even more hyped for First Class, I know I'm in the minority but I'm excited for this movie. -
I've always assumed the Storm will have something to do with the "end" of CoX and the beginning of CoX2.
No real evidence or anything, just a hunch and the idea of a huge hyped up event to jump start a new game seems pretty cool. -
I was hoping this thread was about this image:
I need a higher res version of that to become my desktop ASAP -

Not trying to start a poop storm or anything, but I'm curious about the "possibility to change your destiny". Does that mean that running tip missions will allow me to change alignment via the new tip mission system without purchasing the upcoming expansion?
Allow me to speak for the entirety of the dev staff when I say:
I'm really looking forward to the epicness of 24 level 50s in the CoP and trying out the new Tip system, sounds like street sweeping will be much more popular come i18

Quote:The only time I've ran a Numina TF was during a Halloween event and the Zombie raids followed us from zone to zone. We had the team split into 3 groups knocking out the hunts, but because of the gorram zombies the hunts still took well over an hour.Originally Posted by Arctic_Princess
Aha! See I was worried about that element of the TF as it stands! And with regards to changing it.
Now, obviously, with just one poster airing their dislike of the hunt section of Numina that's not a sign for me that it needs removing altogether, but I think I may have a solution to it that keeps the essence of the act without adding at least half an hour to the TF.
It just needs work! -
Quote:I highly doubt that we'll ever get the classic cape at level 1, but I'm with you 100% on this and have created topics about it before.Originally Posted by Xzero45
I'm pumped for GR. I just have one issue.
The Praetorian I want to make needs a cape to make his costume complete.
Praetorian content is, for the most part, low to mid-low level.
You don't get access to that little piece of stylish cloth until level 20.
By then, a good majority of Praetorian content is done with, meaning my character won't look complete until he's out in Paragon City.
Kind of puts a damper on things.
The cape is arguably the most iconic and genre defining part of a superhero's costume, so much so superheroes are even referred to as "capes". Locking them out of the character creator is a huge loss and I hope that CoH2 doesn't make the same mistake.
Give us something cool to unlock at 20, just don't make it the basic cape.

The new glowing eyes in the Mutant Pack are PERFECT for representing the classic "white eyes" used in superhero comics and animation! It's a shame however that the effect is married to the Bioluminescent face.
I love the "glow" effect that is really just a color that doesn't shade, this effect is perfect for giving eyes a color that isn't nearly as glaring as the level 30 auras are.
Here are some examples of iconic superheroes using the effect I'm talking about:
Yeah, Lightslinger fits in there...moving on.
We have the tech to make this happen as evidenced by the Mutant Pack, so....please please please please please. -
Woot!
Thanks for the "moar info!!!1" fix of the day. -
Quote:Whoa, that blends together PERFECTLY, great character.Originally Posted by Dealtimus
I absolutely love how the organic armor pieces look with spines. I have two spine scrappers characters stuck in there mid 30s Rosa Toxic and Bitter Thorn, looking forward to the pack so I can finally get them to 50. Heres my plant type character it looks a little plain compared to the awesome ones posted here but I still like it.

Does this mean that the Mutant pack will be released for everyone on Thursday June 24? Awesome
