Well its only the woods that really need razing...

((And thats with the map pack!))

Just had a 30 minute warning of maintenance in game... its not i15 (I'd guess), its not in the normal maintenance slot so what is it and will the servers be offline for a while?

I'm sure I can give them back...sometime.

Wouldn't bother ATM they have a good excuse...

Only thing Perez needs...

Nuking from orbit, its the only way, to be sure.

But a massive NO to Co-op zones!
Co-op ONLY makes sense in places like the Rikti Warzone. Us vs Rikti, thats simple to understand. Cimerora jsut about gets away with it, but only just. What justification would there be for Perez, Boomtown or Astoria?

Its Heroes VS Villains, not Heroes, Anti-Heroes and people-who-think-they-look-good-in-black-but-don't

[/ QUOTE ]
Well considering what is under Boomtown, and considering LR's relationship with the Council and 5th column I could imagine him wanting villains in there... for one reason or another.

Yeah, we know there's no plans, Avatea, but they said that aboutpower customization as well

This seems to be the most popular idea at the moment though.

[/ QUOTE ]
Actually they said they couldn't do power customisation, not wouldn't.

Not sure a redname has ever said that server merging (in any shape) is impossible just that they have no plans to do so.

Taunt with map size AoE. And removal of agro cap for mobs effected by that taunt...

May only be used on mobs that are significantly under your level (-6), cannot be used in open world.

For clearing out those ridiculously out levelled missions.

Exploit would be to go in as a fifty in a small team, taunt then exemp, by the time the mobs reached you the party would be earning XP...

And check that the game is not fullscreen (as in fullscreen rather than maximised), I seem to remember having the same issue when I was running two screens.

I can't afford them either... still I could do with losing some weight.

Maybe GR will come with a free booster like the architect edition did.

Am I the only one who can see a horde of fresh Hulk/She-Hulk/<insert other Marvel Gamma-Transformed character here> ripoffs coming from this?

Other than that, I'll deffo be whipping out the card when this launches.

I can imagine some Frankenstein's Monser rip-offs with those neckbolts

There should be a suitable walking power for it too

Or just you know walking in any shape or form...

Heroes always win million to one encounters, normally through lucky shots to the wossnames.

Would need to be a cube rather than flat like the bases are, some of the existing maps have some serious ups and downs.

Plus I think the way they do it now is with predefined sections that snap together, occasionally you get maps that have holes where to sections haven't snapped together correctly (happened a lot in CoV beta).

So much of the initial design would be modular and all the devs would 'need' to provide apart from the UI would be sections that link tilesets together.

As for the rest agreed.

Oh and word...

Vibrancy?

but the question is would it run CoH if CoH got a graphics update?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, I doubt the Devs would increase the amount of computer power needed to run at the lowest settings, or even at the current settings. Chances are an additional level of quality will be available above 'Very High', or an alternate pack of visuals/textures available for purchase/download for those who want shinier pretties.

Just because the game's visuals could be improved, doesn't mean it has to be mandatory.

[/ QUOTE ]
TBH I think the only way to get the sort of graphics that Razor wants they'd need to follow the EVE online route and release two separate clients. Better textures, higher poly count models are one thing. Graphics that actually give top end machines a run for their money is an entirely different thing.

[ QUOTE ]
Now replace CoH by WoW.. ironic, that in such case it is true, people still buy a 5 year old game. Or top that, maple story! (yeah, 2d game). And people spending 2k for playing MMO's, i mock them.

[/ QUOTE ]
Do people spend that to play WoW?

Well apart from people who want to five or ten box it but then they're a whole different entity and they won't care about good graphics.

Or a map editor for MA. Which may allow even more awesome stuff.

I know what you mean... but can't think of the word.

The bottom line is this. When people buy new PCs nowadays, they're going to be better than most of the PCs people have had for 5-6 years.

New PCs are more expensive, and people who buy them are already going to be able to play most games at a suitable level.

Enthusiasts will splash out for more beasty PCs to play games. Graphics and computer hardware are doubling around every 18 months, and it has done so for the last 10 years.

The world isn't going to be stuck in the past because some people refuse to upgrade, it'll just leave you behind.

This game could CERTAINLY do with a gfx upgrade, to make it more marketable to graphics enthusiasts with amazing computers.

You don't pay £400 for an Nvidia GTX 295 graphics card with 98 billion texture fill rate per second (which is more than double of my GTX 280) to play low-end games.

This game can, and should get a graphics update.

[/ QUOTE ]
So people who have spent 2k on a new beast of a PC are going to buy a five year old game why?

The only people who will buy it are those who are interested in Hero Type games, and with CO début soon there won't be many.

Tacking on fancy graphics will not make the game younger.

[ QUOTE ]
In reply to (yet another) deleted comment, no, I'm not saying the devs won't think about the storage requirement. I'm saying when they _do_ think about it they will go "Oh, about the same as bases. That's basically nothing. OK, then."

[/ QUOTE ]
So it will be thought about.

Balls I'm out of this, not even sure why it is worth arguing the toss, rest assured I won't bother arguing with you again.

Okay, so Posi owns a bike, now you'll tell me its a mountain bike?

No.

I know the data will take up space.

Neither of us know how much space it will take.

But it will be one of the things that should the devs implement player housing they will look at.

How hard is that to understand?

If the solution suggested in this thread is overly complicated, eg a house for every single character in the game. Which is more than what the base costs would be bearing in mind that originally it wasn't realistic to expect everyone to be able to make a one person base. It will take up more space than if the suggestion in this thread is not overly complicated. eg if the house is on a per account basis.

I don't care if people leave the game because of a graphics update.

That's a rather selfish way of thinking, I think.

Livery is like the colours you see on trains... :P

Or after eating liver I often feel a bit livery... or something.

Ah... used to be RCS so I assumed it still was.

However I will have to reschedule tonight as it appears I am learning to drive a tractor...

Which is good as I am driving one on Saturday and haven't driven one in ten years or more.

So provisionally 3rd respec tomorrow (Thursday) at the same time.
