There are no known moving map objects that allow you to stand on them at this time. Making vehicles work would require them to get over this hurdle

Curses, Jay is hidden in plain sight again!

I would like a chest decal of a piece of toast. I'm planning on making a bread/carb based villain or hero and it just can't happen without a hulking slice of toast painted over my manly chest.

Super reflexes, Widows...

what am I missing?

I understand that the other animations may not exist. I'm just one of the people who would be satisfied with only one type of walk at all.

It's really a silly thing not to be able to do. We can run but we can't walk. I understood where BaBs was coming from with the engine and all, but it really is silly especially when you see characters walking in some of the trailers.

/em bangs head on desk

They are able to do things in the videos that they can not do in game. Why do people think that a group pf graphic artists and game developers are unable to manipulate a short video enough that it's basically nothing but a short bit of animation?

[/ QUOTE ]

Copied myself to Architect as an enemy group. Got beat up by a bunch of little mes, and guess what they did after that?

They walked!

A player character model, walking!

See for yourself, copy a variety of characters over to MA and drop them into a mission, especially shields characters. I'm sending footage of what I did to youtube.

You wouldn't believe how people react when I go into RV on my Spines/Regen and fight people. They will find any excuse for my beating them - anything from "you used inspirations!" to "I can't hit you if you're hopping around" or "WTF are you using your ranged attacks for, you're a Scrapper!" I know that standing toe-to-toe with many builds will cause me to die very quickly - so I use the powers and game mechanics available to me, in the best way I can, to ensure I last as long as I can. It's surprising how many people complain because am using legitimate PvP tactics to get a PvP kill.

People yell at my Dark Melee/Regen all the time and constantly throw expletives at me when I have to jump around because they just lopped off 60% of my health with some cheesy burst gimmick and healing decay got to me.

They tell me "stand and fight, wimp!'

Oh, really? First few times I took great care through PMs to explain that regen does not fight like a resistance set. Now I just ignore it.

I had no problem with enhancement diversification. Then again, I was subbed a year ago so I missed that.

I don't think they necessarily messed the entirety of PvP up, I just think they globalized too many things, which instead of making things equal-opportunity, shuffled the viability around. In the end, people are still upset, but it's a different assortment this time.

I understand the code problem with trying to set either a max or absolute speed, but I don't understand BaB's number of animations statement.

[/ QUOTE ]

You know what, I was wrong...we actually need 15-90 animations

Walk forward
Walk backward
Walk Strafe-Left
Walk Strafe-Right
Stop walking, transition back to ready

Times 3 for each body type: male, female, and huge

Times 6 for the various 'modes' to both cover the different hand/arm positions and to properly transition back into the appropriate 'ready' stance when you stop walking: Ready, Combat Ready, Weapon Ready, Dual Ready (used by katana and archery as well), 'Shotgun' Ready, and Shield Ready

15-90 animations needed to do a 'walk button'. (Or 105 if we wanted to accomodate the two-handed club stance as well.)

[/ QUOTE ]

I take it you are animating all the vertexes at once rather than in select groups by choice when designing animations of any kind? Or do you do a little of both? Or maybe you're not allowed to fire off multiple animations per actor using this engine?

Isn't there a moment of Intangibility after TP Foe'd? I haven't been TP Foe'd forever and a day ago so I don't know.

I know it's really funny when somebody tries to TP foe me into caltrops and I keep ascending because of super jump.

It would be helpful if you told us just how...

Maybe against a fotm burst build I might, but I've seen positive results so far.

Heres another interview, from Allakhazam, some nice insights and apparently the devs will be using the MA to make missions in the future (and that when they get new tools for it, they will be passed onto the players).

[/ QUOTE ]

So wait, if they start giving the playerbase 100% content and creative control, then what will be the reason for us to pay $14.95?

[/ QUOTE ]
Just as you are free to stop paying $14.95 per month, NCNC is free to stop allowing you access to their servers.



[/ QUOTE ]

It is not that simple and both you and I know it.

[/ QUOTE ]

What exactly IS your point, if it isn't "why pay 14.95 for the game that already has 4 years worth of content and is only adding content I won't use this time"?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd like to go back in time, too.

I try to be nice to everybody, but I don't particularly like the whiny willpower villains who cry that I should "stand and fight."

Hi, I am a regen scrapper. Hopping out of reach and popping reactive abilities while disabling your Rise to the Challenge is my game. Deal with it.

Beeeecause, oh, maybe, THEY are still creating content?
Because without access to the servers, you can't play *any* content at all?

They are not "giving the playerbase 100% content and creative control." The IP, the official storylines, etc. are still in NC's control. This is *something extra to play with.*

Got it?

Not happy with that... *shrug* save yourself fifteen bucks a month.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree that it will be soemthing to play with.

The fear is that such a powerful tool results in the end of creative obligation on their part and a drying up of storytelling opportunities. We, the players will close doors on any potentially original story arc from NCNC.
They'll throw something out there and the crowd will cite a previously created arc that a player made and we'll shout in unison "seen it." And let me tell you those are some horrible words to see when your job is to keep things fresh in the story department.
You can't just give it all away. People will gorge themselves, and nothing will be left.

actually 5 if you count SG prestige, which is its own seperate currency as well. Just saying.

1.)Influence / Infamy (same thing different name)
2.)Prestige
3.)Vanguard Merits
4.)Merits
5.) Tickets

[/ QUOTE ]

Different currencies for different things. It's the equivalent to a reputations system.

I don't see how anyone can be so surprised or even bitter at the emergence of a new currency specific to the content area.

Tickets, you say?

As in "speeding ticket?"

Or "chuck e cheese" ticket?
