I am totally in favor of this system. I hate outlevelling and the fact I still have contacts in my list that will not talk to me anymore.
Ouroborous is just not the same.
Outlevelling on purpois..! Sorry... I think those EB's and AV's in those missions are designed for you to get help in form of a team. In this caase you are able to look longer for a team to help you. You have time enough as you never really outlevel it anyway.
Outlevelling on purpois is standing directly against all requests from players that at some point this game starts to become too easy. I think some challenge should stay. And fighting an EB or AV should always be a challenge. That includes SeaWitch. -

You have ears... but you do not listen. (Sorry, had a bit of the greatest story ever told there.)
We don't have the tech to make one movement power have multiple, customisable animations. Walk, sprint, prestige sprint, prestige slide, superspeed, ninja run... they cannot be customised yet. Maybe in the future, but not now, and not until the work is put in to support it.
Thats the reason I moved the idea into the suggestion as a seperate idea.
What I meant is that the tech that switches animation is made for other powers. Just not for the travel powers. Ofcourse this needs changes in the travel powers and the way to access them. Not unlike the ones made for the normal power customisation.
That is just what I meant here... That should be done. From there the game can grow more easily (in travel powers at least). -
Combining tp foe and tp ally into tp other and then add a combat tp would get my vote.
Combat tp has to become no hover... high end (at least 2-3)... and max 20 in distance. Without any animation so the cast time would become not higher then 1 second... BUT interruptable or it would be to strong. -
A rethinking of the travel powers and their looks would be most welcome.

And could you change the sprint animation to look more like sprint:
Instead of the current jogging:
Part of the tech that changes the animations is already in place. We just need the way to best implement this to the travel powers. This would also give COX the power selections that CO now has (aside from swinging).
As I see it it should become something like...
Basic (no walk / travel selected, jogging animation as we have now)
Walk
- Walk (walk animation like we have now)
- Crawl (on for legs)
- Stalk (slow walk looking around and suspicious)
Sprint
- Run (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Slide (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Dash (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Quick (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Rush (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Surge (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Ninja (basic Ninja Run animation)
Prestige Power Sprint
- Run (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Slide (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Dash (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Quick (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Rush (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Surge (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Ninja (basic Ninja Run animation)
Ninja Run
- Ninja (original)
- Athlete (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
Fly
- Spear (flypose1)
- Super (flypose2)
- Y-formation (flypose3)
- Flex (flypose4)
- Fire Aura (pre-lvl 30, full body fire)
- Dark Aura (pre-lvl 30, full body dark)
- Riding Stone (standing on a big floating stone)
- Hover Board (standing on a controllable hover board)
- Hover (Hover animation but with fly speed, great for vampires and aliens)
- Jetpack (?, might be better as a craftable costume like the jet boots)
- Energy Aura (pre-lvl 30, full body Glow)
(ps. Keep emotes for fly-poses and let them overrun the base settings)
Teleport
- Flex (Original)
- Wrist Control
- None (instant teleport with the effect but without animation)
- Communication Device
- Shimmer out
- Wormhole Effect
- Smoke
Super Speed
- Run (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Slide (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Dash (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Quick (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Rush (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
- Surge (foreward sprint like the image above shows)
Super Jump
- Jump (original)
- Ninja (basic Ninja Run animation)
Just a basic layout idea... this gives less slots... better control over the animation that we use and leaves the possibility too make more and more additions to the powers. Almost all powers involving travel is just an animation change or Aura/Effect add to one we already have.
Feel free to give possible animations using the same power as the one we already have here too... -

Could you at least merge all the prestige sprints into one power (Prestige Sprint), then put all the current FX as customisation of the power?

Jay and Cheryl are also looking into various issues with costume pieces.
But the old Martial Arts robes clip at the back of even a female toon during the leaps while Ninja Run is toggled on. Also the sashes made to be used with these robes are now higher in the back and clip incredible with the robe. -
Quote:This is what I immediatly did on my Martial Arts / Super Reflex Scrapper Yim Wing-Chun... I respeced Super Jump out to only leave in Hasten and Combat Jump. Freeing a space for another power there.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Ummmm.... Don't most people who have Combat Jumping also take Super Jump as their travel power since they opened up the Pool anyway? Because you do know that Super Jump and Combat Jumping are also mutually exclusive, right? Super Jump wasn't intended for use in combat, and if you do use it in combat, it suppresses. Well, Ninja Run is exactly the same, only, you don't need to take Super Jump now as your travel power, leaving you free to take some other power.
Its logical... as long as the Ninja Run fits youre concept and is ok for you to use as travel. In her case it is... Ninja Run + Swift + Quickness + Sprint = win! -
hmm... all those reactions on why Paragon city has fewer cars is a bit of nonsense... We all should accept that Paragon has fewer cars then a normal city because of the lagg it would have given when the game started.
With the upgrading of ISP speed and clients... And the upgrading of the gfx in Going Rogue the traffic should start resembling a living city.
A living city has a lot more cars... and an AI of its own. It has schools... children running around... motor cycles... bycicles, taxi's and busses too. More city sounds outside should be there too.
There is a freeway in Skyway... and it has fewer cars then drive through my small street :S Really... moving along as a hero in outside zones is only problematic when starting out. And Atlas Parc is a parc that can easily have some traffic rules to keep it more free. The rest of the city need more life!
Maybe something that is coordinated by a slider in the options. Up slider for a % of more traffic. Based on you re gfx performance. -
I am all for this.. the ninja's in the Tsoo force should have it. And the ninja pets from the mm power should have it too.
A new animation should always be used to make more diversity in the world we live in. -
Idea is good.. timeing is bad. For this you need almost a day. And you want to start on sunday?
People have work and school on monday.
If you want to try this I am game for it with my main and maybe a few more of my SG. But then we better start on saterday after noon... With possibility to goon all night through.
Still interested?! -

This is why we need to have the list of servers combined for EU and NA. If I want to play in the english language this is something absolutley impossible for me as EU player.
UNION 36 slots max
DEFIANT 36 slots max
On topic... Love what I seen so far. My Ninja and my Wing-Chun fighter both will love this. Might remove the travel all together now. And go for the Swift + Hurdle _ Ninja Run + Sprint + Quickness combo (with additional combat mode in Combat Jump)
Not sure about the overly Ninja pose on the run though. It looks a bit out of place on a Wing-Chun or a Wushu fighter. Then again.. would be ok on a Samurai. -
Suggested for soo many times... WITH arguments.
The server list should be merged. But there are reasons why it doesnt get any dev time. -
Recurring credit card here.. so I should be covered... especially as I am also on the 6 month payment system.
Not even checked. -

Umm, i have no idea what you mean. Really small steps, please?
Go to the top (1st page of this topic)... where you see all the images.
Pick the image you want to display...
Go over the image with youre mouse pointer... right-click the image... a list appears.
Go down the list (to the bottom) and select 'properties'
In the screen that appears there is an URL that looks something like this... http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/5...archistsig.png
Copy that part!
Now go to 'User CP' in the top left of the forum screen.
Go to 'Edit signature'
Paste the URL you just copied in youre signature...
Before the URL type [img]
Behind the URL type [/img]
Done! -

As expected maybe... Elizabeth goes with the 3rd party. Herself! Seemingly working with all... but with independent plans.

Lemur, I think what the OP is trying to say is that the Zombies and other summons would stay the same, but the other powers would change to the other set.
So, you'd summon zombies, grave knights, and the lich, and I'd imagine that the upgrade powers would be the same, but instead of the Dark blasts, you'd get pistol attacks. -
Quote:I like this ALOT! But I would change the temp power to a breathing apparatus/diving gear. Like the jetpack. Sell it.. and / or make it a recipe we can buy and make.Originally Posted by ToySoldierZolgar
No need? Maybe.
Would it be cool to have? yes.
Would it be positively stupid to give everyone the ability to breath under water? Absolutely.
Single power pool:
Passive that added the ability to breathe under water, as well as another minor buff (to make it useful when not underwater)
Passive that increased swim speed and run speed
a swim travel power, which would have a low endurance cost, and in combat offer mez protection. Could only be active in water.
A leadership style power which grants all nearby allies the first power in the pool.
And have NPC vendors who will sell a temp toggle which allows water breathing, and a slightly increased swim speed. -
Power profilation on Masterminds is not possible as you can't switch the powers as a whole with any other AT... but...
What if all powers stick that are pet related and the powers in-between cross over to other Mastermind sets.
For instance...
Dual Pistols (from Thugs mm) also available for Necromancy mm etc.
This should be technical possible. -
Happy birthday youngster...
Screw the rules.. I am a villain anyway! -
Rise of the Blood Countess started out as an origin arc. But during the process of building it became much more. The amound of special mobs forced me to split the arc in two.
The arc involves time-travel and the thread behind works for both heroes and villains. No humor here... but some blood and violence.
The Rise of the Blood Countess - Part 1: Blood Pact
The Menders of Ouroboros send you back in time to Hungary, Castle of Čachtice 1610 to stop a global take-over from the Circle of Thorns. But there is a countess living there with her own agenda. Demons, Sorcery, Blood... and learn about a COX group of villains and their origin. Be there when it happens!
Two missions... Elite Bosses, Custom Mobs, and an Arch Villain. No kidding... I advice a team here!
The Rise of the Blood Countess - Part 2: The Undead Life
The continuying story of the life of a vampire. More jumps in time will let you in on moments in history. Some Legend, some history and some COX lore... all blended with each other. Expect a returning known group of villains... And some special events over the ages.
Three missions... Elite Bosses, Custom Mobs, and several Arch Villains. Again.. a team is highly recommended! These arcs are made to be a challenge to the one who is in need of one in this game. Put the repp to high and you die. Plain and simple!
Aside of that. Some nice characters will show their face.

I've been getting that auction house Lost Connection to Mapserver error for months. It did get better for a time, but now it seems like 70% of the time I try to get WW or BM the thing crashes me to login. If I'm lucky, that is, otherwise it kills my game. I do find it better if I hang about the zone for a few minutes before attempting to access the auctions, but even that isn't a guarantee.
Recently I've also had problems getting logged out or crashing whilst zoning, as well as more crashes during normal play. Lag is bad when it's busy. Rubberbanding has actually improved a lot from what it was after one of the recent issues (Architect one I think) but I never used to get power-lag, and it seems annoyingly common now.
Not had much bother from real-money traders, but have reported the ones who've messaged me. Don't go to AE that much to notice them creeping about.
