Thanks.

Ah yes I do. Thanks for the help.

Hi

I notice that an AE arc im working on has all who entered it bumped to level 50. Is that normal ? Is there a way to turn that off so it follows normal level mechanics with no auto-sk-ex 'ing ? Ive never paid attention before so I dont know if its a setting or just the way AE works.

Thanks !

Hi I wanted to try my hand at making a Eden / Devouring Earth type offshoot story featuring entities like the Woodsman, Hamidon, and a couple of other AV's / Heroes for my climactic battles.

I cant seem to find how to add any of the AV's / Heroes. How can I do this ?

Thanks !

Using TK wasn't an abuse.

No it was just so horribly broken it was identical to an abuse. Hmmm. Dont forget permadoms, wtf. Domination is fine. Perma is borked.

Spines / DA has interesting elements but in the end it is a sub par performer at best. A couple of the other combo's beat the snot out of it for speed and performance.

They arent truly the AoE kings. And they definately arent the fastest grinders / farmers / pl'ers. And of course thier weaknesses / limitations cant be shored up like you can with other combo's.

And this is from experience. I have a spine/da with an optimized aoe build. It just doesnt cut it compared to my other toons. Yes I dumped a few 100 million on the market hoping to make it great, but the other aoe beasts out there eat it alive.

Playing the night before I8 hit - everything ran smooth as silk.

Playing as soon as I8 hits - horrible and i mean horrible choppiness / drop in framerates when any of a number powers are in effect or in use. Ive updated to the newest variant of Dx9.0c and ive updated my graphics drivers as well. It made no difference at all.

As noted by another poster controller fire powers are just really really bad. I will note that when joining teams its worst of all. I think that has to do with the fact that more powers are in effect and we end up being effected by more of the bugged powers. Ive been on teams with fire trollers a couple times now and thier powers like firecages are some of the worst offenders. I believe to that the more enemies they hit in the firecages the worse the drop in frame rate.

The new layer of graphics seems to be the problem. You dont see the performance problems with some builds and powersets. Others it is completely miserable.

Ive been chatting with folks in my SG and it seems to hurting people across a variety of systems.

Myself -> Intel CPU, 7800 GTX Vid Card, 2 gigs of Ram

Others who note the same problems in my play groups ->
AMD CPU, X800XL Radeon Vid, 1 Gig of Ram
? CPU, Geforce4 MX400 Vid, 1 Gig of Ram
? CPU, 9600XT Vid Card, 1 Gig of Ram

Theres actually a lot of others with the same complaints, but I havent asked them about thier computer systems - I'll direct them to this thread.

Hopefully this helps AND PLZ fix this soon !

Yea sure states - you seem to say a lot of things you "never" said.

After recent BS we know where you really stand in your dealings with you customers/players. No need to try and save face anymore.

Being that I was here from the beginning, I can promise you that bases were NEVER promised. NEVER. It wasn't on the box, on the website or in any promo material. The most we ever said was - "someday we'd like to do bases."

[/ QUOTE ]

Wait a second, so now the story is that we can't have bases at all unless we get CoV too ???

I remember reading in a statesman post that said bases would be coming out for CoH when CoV came out. But from the sound of this we dont get any bases at all ?

With all these changes and nerfs I think it would be only DECENT if you would post the corresponding numbers so we know exactly what the changes are and how much they will be affecting our heroes ?

Thanks

the city of heroes mythology is exceedingly similar to if not parallel'ed to the Palladium Books role-playing game called Scraypers

umm something i consider a big question -

in another post you responded to someone who asked if lvl 75 was coming ? was that vague comment a joke or acceptance of his statement ?

thank ye

ive been hearing that on the next update that is due on december 28th???? that max level will be extended to 75. but i can not find anything about it. i would have dismissed it but i've heard it from 3 other people. on 2 different servers..????

[censored]? What are the devs smoking? Are they cr8zy?



[/ QUOTE ]

okay that is just plain mean - be honest with us, is it staying 50 or is it going to 75 ? i find the answer all to vague to figure out either way

tellz me'z pleaz

honestly, no kidding, dont nerf aoe

u've stated that some "builds" are better at solo'ing than others, some aoe builds solo quite well, why rob the solo'ers of their fun ?

there are lots and lots of folks who are willing to team, and be parts of teams, and the more challenging missions and task forces require a decent team AT composition, even if u have an aoe power build

not everyone is running out and making these builds either, some people yes, but not the majority

if anything what is causing some people to run after every FOTM or power build is the steep lvl'ing curve in the game, it is an exceedingly long and tedious process to go all the way up to 50 (yes i hear that other games are worse, and that almost blows my mind there ), and there is a % of players who are going to want to speed that up a bit and will go for power builds

why not let them ?

also with all these new additions ur making to the game, lvl'ing speed and raw hero lvl are no longer going to be the single defining prestige of a hero, badge collecting is becoming huge, and badges are a more substantial way of showing off a character's accomplishmnets, demonstrating that you've actually played through the whole game, and not just power grinded ur way to 50...im sure more of these additions are coming

so in the end - who cares if some guys use power builds to speed up their lvl'ing ?

and if u say pvp, im pretty sure its going to be balanced in some way so lower lvl players are not pitted against higher players AND aoe will be the worst AT's in PvP combat
