Where's the disclaimer that all references to people living or deceased is purely coincidental?

How long until Blue Steel breaks something out of a thread?

No Kronos?

No Crystal Titan?

You might need to buff Giant Monsters then. There's not one in the game that requires more than one team to defeat.

[ QUOTE ]
Will do.

[/ QUOTE ]

Um, assuming this wasn't a smart-alecky reply... what about KRONOS? I mean, he's a Giant Monster in that outside encounter. But he's also an ambush.. and a fast approaching one, at that. If the hero's group can take him on, cause it now requires more than one group, then hoo-boy... is Founders Falls gonna have a some free-roaming KRONOS about...

... then again, there would be those happy with such a thing. >_>

[/ QUOTE ]

Pre-I6, Stargazer and I duoed the ambush version of the Kronos Titan with my D4 and her Ice/Storm controller. It took a while, and we gathered a nice crowd watching (thanks to Xelgadis for helping to keep others from jumping in), but it was FUN! <grin>

As for changing the way defense works...eek. That's not really an option. There's simply too many things that would break...It's just not do-able.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll start with echoing "band aid".

Beyond that, I have to wonder about the statement above. I have a memory of people testing various defense combinations very early in the game and seeing them stack. Force Field Defenders used to actually see an improvement when running Maneuvers, right? SR scrappers used to have more survivability when they had Fortitude laid on them, right?

The belief currently is that the double-defense "fix" for multiple-damage-type attacks is the source of the current problem. A previous fix introduced the change that is preventing positional and typed defenses from stacking. Is this belief wrong?

Also - after much pushing and shoving - we were told that there will NOT be data mining for TF badges. So if you did a TF before I5 - when I5 goes live you will not get a badge for it auto-magically.

[/ QUOTE ]

For what it's worth, I'll throw my complaint into the ring, too. You are basically punishing those of us that did these TFs before there were badges for them....

There's nothing I can threaten if the datamining is not done. Heck, even if I had something to threaten, I wouldn't. It's pointless. I just hope the powers-that-be hear our pleas.

And, for my alts, it'd be pretty easy. For the most part, just look for the souveneirs. Well, except for the 1-2 after they stopped being awarded, which is a whole other beef....

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks for the suggestions...we'll definitely revisit the Shard to add new content (badges, missions, etc.), reformat current TF's (a little less grindy), make the teleporters fit the zone better, etc.

[/ QUOTE ]

Appologies if I'm repeating somebody else, but make the portals to the various zones in the Shards use the Mole Point concept you set up before. It's a good idea having a military presence guarding the way back into human-controlled areas. And it keeps consistant with the Cascades....

Also, the "naked portals" between PI and CF are just, well, out of place. Maybe make the portal to FBZ be selectable to CF and have the portal in CF inside of the hospital (or another building)? Just looks "wrong" having them out in the open....

Guardian - Guardian specific global channel. Want to alert people that the Paladin's being build? Octopus in TI or IP? Hamidon raid need more people? Just want to chat with some random people?

Your jump height is capped at slightly above normal jump height.

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
You -still- recieve any of the other benefits those powers give you, like Combat Jumping and Hover add to your defense. You can toggle them on for the defense bonus, but you won't get the movement power.

[/ QUOTE ]

What about jump control? Would Combat Jumping still give you jump control, even if the height doesn't change?

[ QUOTE ]
Done.

While we're at it we also support multi-team matches (like 4 teams of 2 Heroes each all duking it out).

[/ QUOTE ]

Ooo! Tigraine! We GOTTA do this! You and me against the world! I'm REALLY good at pissing people off, so there should be no shortage of volunteers throwing themselves against our sharp point implements of death....

Instead of a huge TV, how about live demo feeds available to those that want to "plug in" to one? Think of it like a "VR Feed" that people could tap into, available at the Arena, that would put them into demo-mode, watching whatever somebody in the Arena is seeing. Doesn't solve the problem of using a third-party chat program (TS) to feed data to friends, but it sure would be cool....

States, it has been the experience of a great many players (mentioned on other threads) that *multiple* unnamed bosses show up on missions that they entered alone.


[/ QUOTE ]

I'll check this!

[/ QUOTE ]

Speaking as a scrapper, PLEASE don't change this! Or, at least make increasing the difficulty keep multi-boss spawns in missions!

Speaking as a non-scrapper.... Hm. I mostly team then.... Um.... Same as above?

[ QUOTE ]
Yep. I'll grant one of those original wishes.

Maybe two.

Statesman replied to MY post! THE Statesman! Aaaaghghghgh!

Ok, so he didn't reply to my comments, just my post, but still!

And, in case he's looking back at this:

SNOWBALLS SNOWBALLS SNOWBALLS!!!!!

[ QUOTE ]

Oh, and my SG challanges anyone to Snowball War!


<gets hit in the back of the head>
Hey! We are on the same team here!

[/ QUOTE ]

<whistles non-chalantly> Wasn't me.... <packs a snowball behind my back>

[ QUOTE ]

I think, December 23-25, everyone gets a temp power, they code snow on the ground, and we just scoop up a white rock and can toss it at enemies. Heck, maybe show us how the PvP code is going, and let us hit Hero's with -2 snowballs. Probably asking a lot, but it's just a thought.


[/ QUOTE ]

Heck yeah! Make them 0 damage with no side effects, I don't care! Just to be able to throw snowballs at other heroes, civs, trainers, police bots, villains! <bliss>

[ QUOTE ]

5. Yes, we'll do trenchcoats - not in Update 3, but soon after.


[/ QUOTE ]

Not high up on most people's wish lists, but I *really* want to have the option of a long skirt! One of my characters desperately needs it for story reasons.... <grin> So, you mention trenchcoats, which are good, but how about long skirts? Please? Pretty pretty please?

Thank you! The first door I clicked on had three Jack-O-Laterns pop out and freak me out! And then, three doors later, a Master Vampire!

Didn't even get a rock, though.... <snif>

[ QUOTE ]

By contrast, Buffs from the same caster and the same power on the same target do not stack. However, ALL buffs on one target, will stack if they come from a different caster, or from the same caster but a different power.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sure that there are exceptions, right? I'm 99.9999% sure that Clear Mind stacks from a single Empath. At least, based upon the list of icons next to the target on the team window....

[ QUOTE ]
Actually i want them to keep them at +1.

[/ QUOTE ]

As do I. (Granted this is from a 30+ point of view though)

I do not know about the lower level.

[/ QUOTE ]

My 20 Katana/SR scrapper LOVES the +1 "bug". So much so that she's now level 22 (and a half). I've paired up with a good defender, and we've been tearing through these missions.

And kudos to the tile set changes!

[ QUOTE ]

On that note...does anyone know why higher level characters show up here and there? I was in kings row a while back and almost ran into a level 38 devouring earth on the steps of the police station. I've seen other high level enemies out of place numerous times. How do they get there?

[/ QUOTE ]

This happens when a high level character has a mission in a low level area. An ambush can occur after they complete the mission. You probably saw the ambush sitting, waiting for them to leave the mission. Or they hadn't de-spawned after the heroes fled....
