WINE already runs CoH better then CoH runs natively on the same hardware. Besides a quirk during installation and 2 other curious bugs, it runs pretty much flawlessly already. I'm just saying, if there is enough demand seen for a port OSX, which has a lower installed base then GNU/Linux, there should be enough budget to at least work with the WINE project and get a first class solution for GNU/Linux players of CoH as well.

The text chat thing (single escape won't clear out), the costume selection (can do /cc 0-4), the badly interlaced cursor, and randomly unable to /sync until you log out are the last few things I had to deal with.

Compiling the new one from src has been a pain, though that could be with SLES.

From what I understand, Mac uses a weird flavour of Linux anyhow.. so...?

In all honesty, I'd recommend doing a compiled HTML save of this thread, re-doing the main list (sans votes, fixed stuff) , and posting that. I know it took you a few weeks to do it NP, but there is alot in this current one.

Just a quick one, the Faction-Only chat is in relation to this:

[ QUOTE ]
When more than one team of heroes or villains is in the zone, they have no way to communicate and plan an assault without the opposing side hearing. Make request faction side only.

[/ QUOTE ]
Found here.

Keep in mind, I wasn't posting to fire up a discussion, I was posting to re-cast my votes in lieu of the most recent changes to the game.

Alright, new votes:

[u]Possible Stuff[u]
1. Faction-Side Only Chat (Request/Bcast/Etc.)
2. Bounty for all zones (ties into)
3. Proper rewarding of bounty (most damage / most control)
4. Update Bounty Stores in Siren's Call
5. TP Foe Protection / Interruption for Bases
6. Reward for Participating -- Higher reward if you win
7. Special Debuffed PvP zone (for RvsSvsP fights)
8. Cleaning Bounty Dots, Working Bounty Dots
9. PvP Counts (like WhoAll)
10. Less NPCs or Equal Dispersion (Compare Hero Hospital vs. Gulfo Del Arachnos in SC)

[u]Not Foreseeable[u]
Cross-Server PvP Zones
PvP Missions, 2 Teams enter -- 1 team leaves.
Mixed Faction Zone teaming (30 second countdown for splitters)

There is always going to be something better, whether pve or pvp.

Balance exists in teams...hopefully with experienced players.

Even with newer players, getting a team to offset your weaknesses helps a lot.

PvP is getting better, devs are changing some powers, moving others around.

Especially with proliferation.. I can't wait to see Pain Domination.

First veats now empathy for vills......sigh....I sure hope u got something big for heroes coming.

[/ QUOTE ]

But...but... I thought the Dev Team hated Villains?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think now with VEATs, Pain Domination (numbers pending), and PPP respecs (though not nearly on par with e.g. Force Mastery)... I think Villains are finally getting some respectable love. Not just the hold-your-hair-back-while-you're-throwing-up-kinda love, but appropriate attention.

There was an analogy my father gave me 20 years ago.. if you give a baby a can with beans in it, the baby will squeal and shake it for hours on end. Take the beans out, the baby will shake the can for 30 seconds, get frustrated, drop it, and find something else that makes noise/shiney lights.

The best thing to be is an unshaken and empty can, because we all know who the big baby is.

Anything goes tactics is mostly acceptable, being a dick in broadcast/request/arena or private tells is not.

I've always wondered why Justice seemed to attract mouthy 12 year old Scrappers. Are the other names of the servers too hard to comprehend? "Triumph" have a few too many vowels in succession? Does "Virtue" sound too religious? Do they think, "'Freedom' has yellow and red dots by it... it prolly sucks", or "'Infinity'... wat's that even mean?"

I'm beginning to think I may be on to something

It is Just Ice. Cool, baby, cool.

I just got the the point where i dont even talk over broadcast. I only ansewer to private messages.

[/ QUOTE ]

I even keep that off, just cause some folks feel the need to /t $target, pwned u nub. Even worse when they get your global, cause you can't block those in Options.

You and your 1% or less are not the heart of this game. You are a fringe element. Mostly of the lunatic fringe.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow, you are a real tool. Do you practice at being an [censored], or does it come naturally?

Since _Castle_ has started doing this balancing act for powers and such, I'm getting an inkling of hope.

It may not all be great or immediate changes, but something is happening at least.

To me, a mute adversarial Player is basically just an EB with extremely good AI and impossible-to-ditch aggro.

[/ QUOTE ]

I dunno, that's how I prefer to play. No ;teabag, no ;crouch, just get the 1 rep and get out. I don't crow in broadcast about how great I am and how bad the other players suck, it isn't sporting and I don't have the overwhelming need to feed my fragile ego.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm confused, what's the use of all the power trays when we still need the main one for recipes and such?

[/ QUOTE ]

If you hit the "\" key on your keyboard, it will pop up all the different windows you can toggle. IIRC, Recipes, Inspirations, and such, will be available from that menu.

So really, you don't need the old one at all.

I rarely see appalling trash-talk in PvP zones, mostly becuase I don't bother reading it.

I'm pretty sure that most folks are out there PvE'ing than PvP'ing (we gotta level somehow).

However, by that reasoning, I see more Controllers and Masterminds when I'm out teaming... so they should spend less time fixing Blasters and Corruptors...?

Pisses ya off, don't it?

If it is broken, then fix it. Who cares how many people participate in it, the folks that do have to deal with more than it just being a minority.

You go to the Tram (or submarine) and see:

I like this idea. It keeps PvP optional while adding variety to the zones. However, I'd group all the PvE stuff at the top, have it so people have to scroll down to the PvP group at the bottom... just so there aren't any complaints about accidentally clicking on the one below what they wanted.

OR, thinking a bit more on it... have the PvP versions be accessable from OB portals, so that they could be on a different "shard" where some key technologies were circumvented and Arachnos has a bigger foothold.

CTF is hard to do with Superspeed and Phase Shift... I'd have a 'Capture/Recover 30 Scientists' over CTF.

Some folks like to mix it up with BU+Aim+Powerboost Bonesmasher/TF, then backup and kite with BiB and Blast. :P Sometimes it breaks the tedium of getting easy kills.

Sucks: CoH/Cov Website: There is some very good info on the official site, but not much of it. Much of the tips/ maps/badge list/ mission specs come from secondary sites like GameAmp as well as several different fansites.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hopefully this will be resolved once CityVault comes out, but as it stands, the website *is* rather blah.. even in comparison to the UK website. In the 21st Century, businesses lose customers if they are savvy enough to look for a website, not find one, or find it out of date.

Thank you, NotPutzing, for putting forth the effort on compiling a very good wishlist. The ball is now in their court. *crossing fingers*

Well, as long as my Mastermind only has access to 14 zones, no matter what level I get to... and however many Strike Forces... there is a discrepancy. Attach whatever label you want to it, just because it starts with "City Of" doesn't make things at all equal.

If you are stating "just log on with your hero if you want more content," it is indeed a different game.
