    Issue 17 Overview

    POST-ACTION

    I'm so glad they decided to revamp the Positron TF. As the intro to TFs for CoH, it really shouldn't be as horrifying as the old version. It's also nice to have the worst stop on the way to the Taskforce Commander badge be replaced with something more fun.

    Everything else looks great, too. I'm not into anthropomorphs with tails (I have a chicken, a werewolf, and a bug), so I probably won't get anything out of that, but I'm glad to see it as an option.

    I can't wait to try out the QoL improvements. I'll also give the AE a second go, as the amount of unique maps, lack of experience for custom enemies (I'm not trying to affect balance, I just want certain powers without being forced into Build Up or Rage, which no official mob has, and for good reason), and "lead to place" option for escorts are things I wanted.

    In regards to complaints about lack of content: sadly, the insistence from many players on side-specific content has a lot to do with this. Issue 5 gave us five 5-mission arcs (I'm not counting "defeat 10 whatsits") with mostly simple tech aside from two missions, and the shortest TF in the game. This issue, we're getting four 4-mission arcs, and (yes this is part speculation) the equivalent of 2 new TFs to replace the old Positron TF. I think that's very close, content-wise, but it looks small because in Issue 5, everyone got all of the arcs and the TF. With split content, each character only gets half the arcs from this issue, and only the heroes get the TFs.

    I wish there was less resistance to cooperative content. The two villains in this game that make the most sense for cooperative content, more than Romulus or even the Rikti, are Hamidon and Rularuu. I say this because neither can be bargained with and both will destroy the world, the perfect setup for villains and heroes to team up, yet neither is cooperative. I think an Issue 10 style revamp of the Shadow Shard in issue 18, 19, or 20 with revamped, cooperative TFs and some GR style "shades of grey" arcs to appeal to both heroes and villains would be great.

    Sorry for the tangent. Please don't take it as a comment on Issue 17. I think it looks fantastic.

    Little did they know, the work release program at Ziggursky Penitentiary would not provide Nails and Icepick with an escape from a noisy environment packed with sweaty people in brightly colored uniforms.

    I have this memory of a Dev (likely Synapse) posting a drop table around a year ago. In it, there was a column for weighting that was all 1's, and he stated that it didn't have to be that way, but that it was out of a desire to "have everyone be equally likely to get a drop they can use" (which actually is a goal that weighting has helped us move towards).

    This memory, I am learning as I get older, does not mean that it actually happened.

    My question:

    When you took your first position at Cryptic Studios back in February of 2002 (archive.org says you were the Office Manager in August, is that what you started as?), did you have any ambitions to work directly on the game itself at all, let alone become the Lead Designer? Do you have any thoughts and/or feelings to share about the changes you (position and skill-wise) and the game have gone through between then and now?

    Any stories about the path you took from being a non-developer to lead designer on the same game that we all love would be fascinating! Congratulations again on the well deserved promotion!
  7. Liquid
    Holy crap! Congrats to War Witch and Ghost Falcon, and welcome to the Forums, Television and Doc Delilah!

    For those who didn't know, can you believe that War Witch started as the Office Manager? (Edit: actually, maybe she didn't start as the Office Manager, that's from August of 2002, 6 months after she was hired) And now she's the Lead Designer! That is awesome! I think Positron has done a great job in the position, but it's really cool that the person who has been with CoH the longest is now in charge of its direction. You deserve it, War Witch!

    I'm also very excited about Positron being focused on an End Game system. I really look forward to new fun things to do with my level 50s.

    As a side comment, that's what I think most people were requesting when they wanted Pistol Melee (though not just pistol butt attacks, but maybe one or two point blank shots and/or a kick or two). I'd be totally against Scrappers getting a Blaster-range set.

    It's a different argument. The player split over pistols is about range not style. Some people claim pistols are long ranged weapons only, and some claim that they can be and are used in close quarter combat.

    I do want the name "Super Strength". I know, it's nit-picky. But I'd like it.

    Also, I want the feel of the set. I want the screen shaking on the hits, the spherical shockwave VFX, and the "POW" and "BOOM" sound effects. I also think Foot Stomp's radius is an important part of that feel-- I'll take a reduction in damage and/or lower chance for KD, but I want the radius because it just wouldn't feel the same to stomp the ground, have the screen shake, and only have it affect the people standing right next to you.

    I don't need double stacked Rage, or any other aspects that one might consider to be overpowered on a Scrapper.

    I want Super Strength Scrappers not because I think it would perform better than other Scrapper sets, but because I want the superhuman strength concept, delivered as well as the set is for other ATs, on a Hero whose primary role is dealing damage. I wanted Super Strength Scrappers back in CoH Beta, when Super Strength was one of the worst Melee sets (when KoB did irrelevant damage, Rage stunned you for the crash, and Foot Stomp was KB instead of KD). So, it's not about the effectiveness.

    I'm looking forward to Hero Brutes, but I'd also like Super Strength Scrappers because while Brutes are really exciting, the non-stop pace Fury inspires can be a little tiring. I'd like to have the option of a Scrap (from Dynamo 5) type hero who has Super Strength as her big thing, and toughness being second, without the need to build power up over time.

    A while ago, I suggested a low-key version of super strength be ported over (similar theme different execution) and rename this ported version to the coveted Street Fighting set people have wanted for so long.
    This is slightly off topic, but as one of the more vocal proponents of Street Fighting, I think the need is gone. MA has the option of punching now, which, in my opinion, was the ideal solution all along. Street Fighting was a compromise.

    I always wondered why Gravity Control didn't have a power that drew foes within a given radius into the center. It seems like the first power you'd make for such a set.

Spiking gives the target a feeling of helplessness. This isn't an RTS-- if the no-brainer strategy is to spike a particular target, that target will be frustrated and feel like they can't contribute.

    Early on after its introduction, my SG did some zone PvP, and had a lot of fun until we encountered a skilled team that kept spiking our Defenders. The Defenders weren't having fun, so they then left and got other ATs, lowering the team's performance overall due to lack of buffs, and it went downhill from there.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall some of the powers (I don't remember if it was all the buffs or just Sonic Dispersion) having a strobe effect. I think it was this effect that caused the problems, and over the course of numerous changes, I don't think it was ever removed until they changed the graphics entirely to the version we have now. I haven't seen a health-related complaint about sonic bubbles since. Strobe effects are known to trigger migraines and epileptic seizures.

    I wish I could find a video of the old version of the powers, too.

    I want this so bad. I have characters parked at 32 for random rolls, but since they can't progress any further, I never feel like playing them.

    Also, I have to ask-- would the devs consider people that lock their level in the 30's and farm merits to be aberrant play? They aren't doing it to experience content they might miss, or to keep from outleveling their friends, they're doing it because of a shortage of what should be lower value items on the market (I say "should" because it's counter intuitive in an MMO for anything of lower level to be more desirable than the exact same thing at higher level).

    Isn't it a sign that something is wrong?

    If you won't fit your play style in with the rest of the team, you need to go. If your team likes knockback, you can just shut up about knockback and enjoy, or you can leave. If your team doesn't like knockback, you can keep your Gale and Energy Torrent under control, or you can leave. Either way, your leaving may or may not be voluntary. All of this is entirely appropriate. Demanding that somebody change their opinion on what they, as a matter of personal preference, enjoy doing in a video game, is frankly not appropriate or reasonable at all.

    Whether you love knockback and refuse to keep it under control, or despise knockback and can't tolerate having to deal with it, either way you're restricting your teaming options based on a matter of personal preference. Neither position is one of any particular moral superiority sufficient to demand that the other change. It's not the anti-KB crowd who needs to get over themselves, it's both sides.
    I agree with this. This is why my decision was to respec out of AoE KB powers-- most of my teammates didn't like the use of them. I respect that my enjoyment did not trump theirs, so I kept the powers under control. This meant that I had to curtail their use to the point that I felt having other powers would provide me with more options and enjoyment.

    The problem is, I really do want to use those powers (primarily Energy Torrent, Explosive Blast, and Shockwave). I both find them extremely fun, and like having the excellent AoE damage they provide. But I'm not willing to leave my friends over it-- they're awesome people.

    So, I'd like an option for turning KB into KD so that I can both enjoy those powers as freely as I enjoy non-KB AoEs, and enjoy the company of my friends. It's not because I'm selfish, nor is it because I'm a crappy player, and I'd appreciate not being painted as either.

It will just instantly appear in your hand and play the attack animation. If you're not in combat, out of range, or have no target selected...then it will play a non-rooted, interruptible version of the weapon draw animations.

    Some minor issues with consistently playing a weapon draw animation outside of combat, or the weapon draw animation playing when it really does need to...but that shouldn't interfere with combat.

    Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to get to every powerset at once, but I was able to get the following powersets done.

    • Broadsword
    • Claws
    • Dual Blades
    • Archery
    • Battleaxe
    • War Mace
    • Trick Arrow
    • Thugs Mastermind Dual Pistols
    • Robotics Mastermind Pulse Rifle
    • Arachnos Widows
    • Arachnos Soldiers
    • Patron "mace" powers
    • Munitions Ancillary Pool
    The rest will have to wait until sometime after GR:
    Holy crap, that's amazingly awesome, and yet another thing I never imagined would happen! Are... are you pulling our legs? I can seriously make a Claws/Regen or Broadsword/DA and not feel penalized for choosing a clicky powerset over a non-clicky one like Willpower? I can use Venom Grenade on my Bane without having to draw the gun, and then redraw the mace?

    This feels wrong somehow. I've had awesome news repeatedly over the last two days. This can't be real.

    This is the exact reason I don't do Hamidon Raids anymore. I think the new version is vastly superior to the old version, but I don't like open content in general because I end up having to force my silver-age style heroes into teaming up with -STRYK.ER and Spicy McHooters to get the job done, which kills my immersion (I'm here for the multiplayer superhero game aspect, not the general MMO socializing aspect). The only thing that will motivate me to do that is unique rewards, and I generally won't be happy about it.

    So uh, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think you're right, and I think the new encounter is more fun, but as long as it takes more than 1 team of 8 to complete and I can obtain the rewards in other ways, I won't be doing it more than once every 6 months or so. I'd be happy with any changes you might make, including adding unique rewards, as long as people can sell those rewards on the market.
