I fully support the global unlock idea.

Good point.
Substitute various (but not all) standard citizen NPCs in the streets with models of fightable NPCs. It'd be a hoot watching them being mugged or running up and down the streets in a panic, or just walking along pushing a shopping cart or carrying a couple shopping bags. -

Draw stuff like that and then tell Sexy Jay to make them happen.Got all my Salvage and badges I needed for Dragonberry , woot . and had a bit of time so did up a piccie of my Shoggothy Dark miasma / ice blast corruptor , Neverdarke .
The grey color on her is a place holder until I get around to coloring her ...otherwise she looks a tad topless -
Seriously, if you're truly concerned about whether or not you're normal... like serious enough that YOU think it may be a problem, then talk to a professional psychologist or counselor. Don't gauge yourself by one "friend" and her nagging complaints or a group of anonymous internet users. There are no real answers to be found with either.
But the real question is, do you really need an answer to "Am I normal?" Lots of people aren't normal. I'd say its a frequent enough occurance that being normal is now the minority (though I wouldn't say any one abnormality is more frequent, just that all abnormals combined outnumber whatever normal is).
My point is... so what? The abnormal people in society get by, and many function just fine. Be who you are and you can be happy. Don't try to be something someone else wants you to be, because chances are you won't find happiness there. -
Quote:Normal... perverted... pfft.Yeah, I finally have. She accused me of making this thread only for sympathy and pity, and maybe a part of it is that, but mostly I feel I just needed to get the opinions of the community to find out if I'm "normal" or "perverted" as she said. I have Asperger's Syndrome, so I have a hard time understanding others emotions and even more so my own.

So, are you wondering if your liking breasts (of any size) is outside the normal male behavior patterns? The answer is no. Men like breasts. Some like them VEEERRRRY BIG. Others like small, and some don't pay attention so much to size as to shape or... other details. There is nothing wrong with liking, appreciating, and enjoying breasts --even big ones-- that should be called into question by anyone because you're playing a game where female characters' breast size can be customized.
If you pushed the chest slider all the way to the right on all your characters, I would say that you're sending a clear indicator to everyone that you really, really like 'em big... but I still wouldn't say you have any sort of problem. Clearly, however, the girl you are referring to does have issues. It could be self-image, as pointed out. It could also be that she likes you and is put off by your alleged fascination with big'uns. It might even be something entirely different. I can't know because I haven't spoken with her enough to have any kind of handle on who she is.
I do know that she is the one with the problem, though. You're better off ignoring her comments and, if necessary, her alleged friendship. I have friends who occasionally tell me I have a problem with this or that or whatever... but because they're my friends, its usually just a friendly comment rather than riding me about it. They can let go of my issues because, whatever they are, they are mine --not their's. And honestly, I know I have other quirks that I consider problems that my friends never say anything about... because they are my friends and don't try to pick me apart and "fix" me. Friends are good. Good friends are better. Friends who complain and/or try to change you... probably not the best choice. -
I'm on the fence about this one.
* Yes, the GMs are paid to deal with censoring issues... however, for each case they have to deal with, that's one more thing in line ahead of more important stuff they may have to help people with --such as people unable to complete a TF mission because the last foe is stuck in a wall or the objective is off the map.
* Of course, the censorship thing does seem a little less an issue because of things like SG names (although, while everyone can, not everyone makes an SG for each individual character... titles would be more prolific than SG names) and nameable pets.
Here's a thought: Application for title! When you reach an appropriate level, you can petition to have a custom title appended to your name. It goes in the list and once a day, a GM has to scroll through the list and approve or deny. If approved, the title is automatically added to your character. If not, you can apply again with a different one. When you reach the next level where you gain a title, you can either modify the current one or extend it by adding a second word via the same process. -
Good stuff here, and consider me signed on for the idea as a whole.
Quote:Also maybe give it a low magnitude (is that possible) so that you can't necessarily affect everything with it. Definitely pets, minions, and lieutenants... maybe bosses, but not elite bosses or AVs.Concealment: Vanish (single target foe Placate, requires a tohit check and uses endurance)
Quote:Fighting: Resilient (toggle protection from Stun, Sleep, and Hold)
Quote:Flight: Divebomb (a flying 'charge' attack, might be tough with current game tech)
How about a knock back attack? Use the hand clapping animation of Super Strength -> Hand Clap (and add in an extra bit to include animate wings if present on the character). Make it a cone effect instead of PBAoE, and KB only (weaker magnitude)... drop the whole disorient thing. Maybe add in some short duration -Fly, but not nearly as much as Air Superiority.
Love this.
Can't think of an alternative, but this... I just can't see it.
Quote:Medicine: Sedative (short range single target foe Sleep/-Spd/-Rcg)
Presence: Impress (single target Confuse)
Quote:Speed: Charge (a ground based 'charge' attack, again might be tough with current game tech)
Quote:Teleportation: Teleport To Ally (you teleport directly to the targeted team member within range on the same map)
The Leadership one is fine. It needs to be weaker than the standard Mind Control -> Confuse power (lower magnitude, shorter duration) and have a different animation (maybe use the chat emote) instead of the waving your hands mystically at your target... but the idea is perfect. -
Also, just because you don't have the backpack always on doesn't mean capes and wings should be accessible. Keep blocking them for anyone who has chosen the crab path of advancement. Then you wouldn't have to worry about someone putting on a cape and having clipping issues when the toggle is activated.
-
Forget about choices... just give something in addition to weapon unlocks, that way everyone benefits.
So, for example, you get that archaic looking gun for defeating Nemesis... and maybe the helmet too. Sure, the people without assault rifle wouldn't be getting that extra piece because they don't have a gun, but at least everyone would get something out of that particular badge. Also, they really should make a pistol version of that gun for thug MMs and DP users.
But the same goes for any other unlockable weapon. Earn it and either a specific costume piece or at least a new chest logo detail of the group. -
Also, the ravers in Pocket D should all be Halloween monsters... or at least people dressed up as such. Leave the random comments that they make, but change what appears to witches and wolfmen and zombies and vampires. It'd be cool.
-
Oh, as for improving the Halloween event, I would like to see the Halloween vampires get a new look to distinguish them from the 5th Column/Council artificial vampires. They look identical... and what typical Halloween vamp have you ever seen wearing techno goggles? :P
Vampires should have a random citizen body (normal clothes) with a more vampirish looking head (fangs & feral features with pale skin), and Vampire Lords should have a more traditional Dracula kind of look to them. -
Quote:I know, and I am in favor of having the Deadly Apocalypse whenever someone turns in Halloween salvage all year 'round and NOT just for the Halloween season. My explanation is that it doesn't have to be Halloween for that event because it doesn't especially have a Halloween feel to it (until pumpkin man shows up).I know. I am in favor of having the Deadly Apocalypse ONLY on Halloween and NOT occuring if someone turns in Halloween Salvage. The Zombies however can happen normally.
Meanwhile, and call me a traditionalist on this one (I know there's plenty of non-seasonal zombie movies & video games and so on out there), zombies just feel especially Halloweeny to me and should ONLY happen during the Halloween season. -
Some motion would be nice. Maybe in COH2 we'll get that along with animated faces and individual fingers.

Hah! I've been doing this since the Fitness pool becoming an inherant was announced!
-
I want passive/agressive modes... and the ability to make my controller pets speak and emote. I know, I know: "That's just too much. Emotive pets would be potentially overpowered and game-breaking." **sighs**

Because heroes are assumed to be innocent. Meanwhile you could have a villain who's only a villain because of circumstance and the majority of the populace assuming he's guilty.

Quote:Well, flat-chested may not be possible, but if I were going to try to make such a thing, this is how I'd do it:I'd love to be able to make a Hit-Girl type character in this game without having to resort to using a small-sized male model to make her appropriately flat-chested. I just don't see when that'll ever be possible.
Note that physique, shoulders, chest, and legs sliders are all the way minimum (left) while waist and hips are at about 75% to 80% (right of center). Skip on tights and go to the Armored top for a less breasty profile (same smoothing effect you get when wearing robes). I chose the flak jacket texture to give her that leather top look like she's got in the movie. Add a skirt and some tights --in retrospect, the patent leather pattern on tights would probably look better for her legs. Then go with the sport boots, gloves, and shoulders, resistance belt, and short points cape. To top it off, wedge hairstyle and mask 4 on Young Face 2 (adjust face sliders til you get it the way you like).
Not that I would condone using such a character since the trademark is obviously owned. :P -
Quote:
- Make the demons from Demon Summoning not roar so often.
- Lower the volume on their roar
Quote:Subjective Feedback:
I love the sounds for the Electric Blast and Manipulation Powers! ZAP ZAP!!
Demons are loud and persistent. Maybe some adjustment on their volume and/or the frequency of their howling would be a good thing.
I'm also not very fond of the kinetic melee sounds. Its also too loud and the buzz is too annoying when you hear it over and over again. I mean, it sounds cool once... but the frequent attacks have me turning off my speakers and getting no audio cues from the game at all just because I can't stand listening to KM anymore. I won't even play KM... tried and it got old fast. Having to deal with KM teammates... speakers off. -
Quote:How can there NOT be a journalist day job? Thanks to a certain spaceborn hero in red & blue, its just iconic.There has been some discussion over in the GR forum about a tip day job. Possibly a journalist day job which helps you get tips (One per mission? Higher drop rate? One tip for 18 hours logged out? Something else?)
I think we need some kind of Independently Wealthy day job that gives us a small boost to influence/infamy earned. -
Quote:It doesn't have to be Halloween to have a deadly apocalypse show up.I've always been in favor of just making the banners part of Halloween only and having the Zombies for the rest of the year.
Also, I just want to say that it doesn't seem so difficult to acquire any of the badges from any of the Halloween event(s). This past saturday, I acquired all of them on two different characters. One at level 20 and the other at level 40. This coming weekend, I'm going to try on a newbie blaster (only level 8). -
I don't need the ability to tell my controller pets who to attack, but I would like to be able to switch them from aggressive to passive. I hate how they attack without restraint as soon as they get within range of a targetable enemy.

At the very least, we should have a chainsaw temp power.

Quote:I could easily tolerate exaggerated breasts... if they didn't look rediculously fake. I'd be okay with regular fake, but even fake boobs don't look like COH's chest slider maxed at to the right. Its not a size issue for me, its a shape thing. And its a shape they need to fix.I don't get this fascination that some players have with "realism".
City of Heroes, as a an entertainment media inspired by comic books, borrows a touch of artistic style from that genre.
In the comic book genre, one thing that really seems to be quite bold is gender bias. Main characters are often sexualized using various methods, be it male or female.
Females are usually portrayed using athletic, feminine bodies with exaggerated breasts, narrow waists, and wider hips, along with long legs decorated with very skimpy clothing that seem incredibly impractical.
Heck, even Power Girl's oversized knockers in the image posted previously look more realistic. -
I know I'd like to have access to the EPPs and PPPs a little sooner. I hate the slotting limitation on those powers at the end, as well as not being able to choose all 5 powers if I want them.
