Myopic Aardvark

Really - because every time I've used Black Dwarf Antagonize (sic) since I13, people have come running into me...

and yes, the detailed info on the power does say -75% to range for 12 seconds on target....

So... erm... it's already there?

Edit: ^^^ PvE, of course

So long as it's not like the last time it went to market and ended up hidden behind copies of WOW or not on any shelves whatsoever (at least that's how it was in the stores I went too (hidden behind a WOW cardboard stand in Game or non-existent in HMV/Virgin))

Rather curious about this but how many people would prefer that the dev's forgo an issue for an entire graphics overhaul? or even a new paid expansion?

[/ QUOTE ]

Lets expand on that:
Would people PAY for an entire graphic overhaul? Say the amount a new game would cost? If the gameplay would not be altered but the graphics got a big boost?

[/ QUOTE ]

I would.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah. It's not worth it....

Just kidding. Hell yeah. Apart from my mortgage, NCSoft is fast becoming my biggest expenditure.

doubtful this is anything to do with an upgrade of graphics (sadly) much more likely is that this is just the artists interprtation of paragon which he/she created to fit in with the very detailed renders of the heroes.

[/ QUOTE ]

This sounds about right; just an artists impression of a virtual city.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah. Shame.

For reference.

Holy [censored], that IS a globe with a park nearby.

[/ QUOTE ]
It does seem to be Atlas Park after seeing it in full

[/ QUOTE ]

The building around the globe looks nothing like City Hall and the park appears to have green grass or trees on it, rather than a flood of people spamming "PL me".

It's not Atlas Park. Maybe bits of it, but not it.

There's also lots of buildings in the picture that I don't recognise - a few that I do though.

[ QUOTE ]
Looks kinda like a shot of a REAL city skyline to me... Somewhat misleading...

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah. The building on the lower left hand side is definitely from within game. It's the one on the right I don't recognise (although, if it wasn't so stretched out, it could be a COH city building...

I'd prefer to speculate on a new zone/graphics update though

What the hell is the image on the website supposed to be? There are buildings on it that have never appeared in City Of Heroes or Villains?

So any ideas where they came from? It's not even an amalgamation.

Speculation folks?

Story arc bonus not being awarded in some cases - I get Merits, but no bonus for some story arcs. But I still get the bonus AND merits at other times.

Deadpool - Sword.

Deathstroke - Sword

Nightcrawler - randomly has Sword

Hell, I've seen Batman take out a Doomsday Animate with an axe! (and not a piddly axe either, a GET THE F**K AWAY FROM ME axe)

I'm pretty sure the reason for the low population is the Nazis. In fact, someone should commit suicide because of that fact.

And that's the usual summary for one of the OP's threads, now in one handy dandy, quotable post.

Also, having mez resist as a clicky is going to suck soooo much if it's not really fast recharge...

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah, it's like Practiced Brawler - though it says "a short time" and "Long Recharge", it's really not.

[ QUOTE ]
Well, if you have Patrol XP and turn XP gain off, it still eats through your Patrol XP. So you can turn XP gain off, chew through your Patrol XP, and then level normally.

Unless that's a bug and will be fixed sometime.

[/ QUOTE ]

But then I stop earning XP. I know it's a small thing and wouldn't take long to clear off, but it just bugs me that I'd have to.

I've already outlevelled a couple of 10-15 story arcs because of it when before I wouldn't have.

*Shrugs* I'll just have to learn to live with it, but given how easy they've made levelling this past year, why oh why did they even think this was a good idea?

[ QUOTE ]
However... to turn auto-jump off???

[/ QUOTE ]

Press jump

Edit: yeah, I wondered that for a bit too...

I just wish there was a "stop earning Double XP, but keep earning normal XP" option.



[/ QUOTE ]there is it called doing ourboros all weekend long

[/ QUOTE ]

Erm... then you're either still earning Double Xp or you're not earning any at all. Which isn't what I wished for.

I just dislike the now forced Double XP on all my characters that we've got.

I just wish there was a "stop earning Double XP, but keep earning normal XP" option.

Nope to all of them, apart from Earned a Merit.

I've upgraded my base plot so far - now I just need to swap things around a bit.

Opinions already gathering here

Changes in MMO rating... i believe that City of Heroes *was* changed.. if anything at the time of the game merger if not before.

[/ QUOTE ]

D'oh! You'd think I'd remember that one for some strange reason

Anywhere else though? (And that was good stuff Gangrel - you answered my curiousity monkey.... I can quit at any time, but he's happy for now )

Given that this is a "living" game, with new content added on a regular basis, how does it affect the games rating (PEGI or otherwise)?

I ask, because I was running through Port Oakes and heard an NPC say "Hope you don't mind blood on that outfit. This knife says you got some learning to do." (I love the new copy & paste function by the way )

Now, I know Villains has always been a 16 and over rating, but the thought just popped into my head that the phrase I heard would never have happened in Heroes back when it was just a 12+ rating.

Anyways, that got me wondering about the missions and all the little NPC comments that have been added over the years. Do they have to get reviewed for an MMO? Has any MMO ever had a change in rating because of something it has added? Or is it something that's still untested legally speaking?

I'm just curious as to the process and thought it'd be a good one for debate.

Where are they? I can't find them

[/ QUOTE ]

Port Oakes and St. Martial. - luckily for us, even though they are abandoned they are marked on the map

Thanks.

Fact: There is one super hero game


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


True

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, its not.

There are the Freedom Force games to name but two. There are lots of games based on Spiderman, Iron man, theres Lego Batman etc. There are just hundreds of superhero games.

You meant MMOs? Well there is WoW for a start. Not a superhero game!? You show me someone who can shoot fireballs at people, and I will show you a superhero.

WARNING: Pedantic quibbles never end well on these debates.

They are, however, often hilarious (if so very, very predictable now).

Enjoying it so far - new characters, new powers, new journeys to enjoy.

My only quibble is the fact that I've already got 2 bars of double XP whilst still in Breakout!!!

Want an option to turn that off that DOESN'T stop me from earning NORMAL XP
