You did note the "Hide all microsoft services" step, correct?

Ok. Repeat UNTIL YOU GET IT.

MAYA IS NOT AN MMO.

Saying "This is easy to do in an MMO because I do it in Maya" is like saying "I can fly the Space Shuttle because I know how to ride a bike."

No, YOU don't want to accept what's been said many times above. Nothing in that description says you "Never ever ever ever touch a piece of technology for transportation or even as a weapon." It's talking about your core abilities.
Wait, wait, what was that?
Where was the word "Human" invoked anywhere in there? (See also Kheldians, also "Natural.") Let's look again:
Hmm. I don't see Human mentioned in there at all, except for this:

As has been explained to you MANY TIMES in this thread - Using a device for a specific purpose (getting from point A to point B) does not change the CORE SOURCE OF YOUR POWERS... you know, your origin.

How is this so damn hard for you to understand?

Using a jetpack, for instance, does not suddenly mean your punches and kicks are "tech origin," any more than taking the train or a teleporter from one zone to the next are.

If you want to be THAT "true" to your origin, take the tram and *walk.* Since sprint FAR outpaces what a "natural human" is going to do, even well trained, for a significant distance. As does Swift, quite bluntly.

Or, as I said before - take superspeed and don't consider it one of the character's powers. Consider it just like a movie - you're fast forwarding through the boring "walking to get there" part, because you're not a director and can't cut out the "They get in a car and drive for 45 minutes" part from the film. Turn it off when you're in the mission. It's not your character's power, it's your player's convenience.

I don't think, quite frankly, that this is you "trying to be true to your origin" but "trying to inconvenience yourself as much as possible while pretending it's a crusade."




Which draw on the same model. They don't alter the figure.
Which strap onto the basic figure without restricting their movement or forcing a specific pose with points all body parts must adjust to like a motorcycle would.

Hold your breath. No, really.

No, we will not see vehicles, including motorcycles. Motorcycles - focusing JUST on that - do things NONE OF THE OTHERS do. It involves forced posing - of three body types at ALL scales, with ALL parts having a range of sizes, and trying to get them to line up in *specific* spots. You'll note there is nothing in game that does that. No, a jetpack does not. Nor do wings or tails. Nor does ninja run. It's still a standing position. All powers can still be used with everything in the game. The difference between "a different run pose" and a motorcycle is MUCH greater than the difference between "Run with this pose" and "Run with this somewhat more bent pose."

Last but not least, of course, is the fact that since you refuse to accept jetpacks - as pointed out several times in this thread - your character would refuse to use motorcycles as well. It's "still tech," of the same rough level in the game world as a jetpack, and you refuse to use those because you're remaining "true to your origin." Either that or you're a hypocrite. Or just clueless as to what you want.

But I'm sure you'll completely ignore this along with everything else. So go ahead and hold your breath while you wait.

And the original pointy ears.

And I can never fix, adjust, or change that outfit or I lose both.

Just about anyone could get one before, so no.

They are called Epic (and never Prestige in this game) because they're tied to a storyline.
Maybe you missed all the PLing going on at various points in the game - say, with people getting to 50 in a day. Think they knew what they were doing?

IN addition, the devs said before that setting the unlock to 50 was a mistake. VEATs only got that requirement for parity.

/thirding this. A little more granularity (and keeping my "Autocomplete off" setting) would be nice. Select "All," "Recipes," "Enhancements" or whatnot.

/this, barring having some added this issue. The only generally available *powers* IIRC are going to be Naetembo (sp)'s curse breaker, the Psi-Bomb, and the HVAS. Everything else is just costume bits.

Of course, given the OP's statement:

... wouldn't that not be an issue for them?

I mean, I get what the OP is saying, and if it's something like "My little brother saw my account still logged on when I had to use the bathroom," sure, it'd stop them (assuming you didn't give them the password.) But if your account has been compromised - hacked, RMTers, etc. - I'd think they'd already HAVE your password, so asking for it once more to disable the feature wouldn't be much of a deterrent.

If you can't handle having arguments against your idea made, or problems with your idea or viewpoint pointed out, don't put them in a discussion forum. The point of this IS to poke holes, not be heaped with praise for every single letter that comes out of a poster's keyboard.

You've been given legitimate responses you are choosing not to accept. Or you're completely ignoring or dodging.

We ARE giving you "appropriate transportation powers of a natural human." Natural humans walk, use the train or use some sort of assistance. In the COH world, the only vehicle - other than the tram - is a jetpack, which has been shown not to be all that much of a stretch to be used.

Hell, if you want, you can handwave using superspeed to get to missions as just "fast forwarding through the boring walk-everywhere parts of the movie."

Given the faster-than-the-cars speeds reached just with sprint (not to mention the unlikely leaps and speed of ninja run,) if you want to restrict yourself to "just a natural human," you're going to be taking a while to get anywhere since you'll only have "non sprint speed" and "Walk" available.

Initial market, most likely:
Police/SWAT type teams.
Military

Of course, given the OP's example... he'll have a choice again (after all, we end up with what, 3 of the 4 powers in the nem staff/blackwand/sands/axe grouping. Or is it all four eventually?)

(Not really arguing *against* it - I don't have an opinion on this one way or the other, really - just pointing that out.)

Wait for the 1.9 patch (unless it's out already.) It's doing a lot of adjusting that'll be really nice - specifically in costs to everything.

You also have to realize going in that you *will* be dealing with PVP in that game. Some quests (including main campaign quests) take you into the Abyss, a pure PVP zone, and most zones after lvl 20 can be entered by the enemy faction via rifts. (Time and level limited, but it's a pretty wide range of levels.)

if those don't bother you, give it a look. I found it quite a bit of fun. I'm just waiting for the 1.9 patch before I renew there. (Six months vet of it from launch, on hiatus.)

Maybe. I was still thinking of the OP.

And that's it precisely. (And why I said, above, that if a vehicle or motorcycle would be ok, I can't see why a jetpack isn't.)

He answered in another thread? He's only got one post ATM. >.< (And if so - templar = more tank-ish gameplay.)
