One in each hand? But we are not rangers!

Actually, this could be something done by players, I guess. As a standalone program that creates the proper paths for the effects - Mai. Issues would be the fx files themselves. We already have similar mods for icons and sounds that are misleading/problem causing.

You only get the goodies the FIRST time you run this weeks WST, so dinging fifty later does mean not getting the notice if you've run the WST before.

1) Unless I'm mistaken, it hasn't been pushed live yet. Which means the fix can be fixed before it's pushed live, making the bug only affect test. Wow, a power not working right on test! Oh noes, end of world!Quote:Originally Posted by Wanted_NA
Why change a power by introducing a "fix" that's majorly flawed like that? This just makes absolutely no sense, and it is quite alarming for you might do similarly in the future. The power has been as is since I20 went live. It won't kill you to leave it like this till you can change it to work "WAI" without screwing something else up (something rather major I might add).
Also, if it was acting in rain powers like this as a result of a "bug", teach your QA people to not say it's WAI when it's not, kthxbai.
2) How do you know what QA was saying? Unless you work there, QA isn't something you'd interact with, and the CSRs can only work off what the developers tell them. And it sounds like a mistaken dev told them it was WAI.

Tunnel Rat - I know it'll take programmer time, but if you could convince the uppers to let them code in a options tab where the game can sub alternate effects for common problem powers? Such as one checkbox for Peacebringer sounds, one for the Barrier powers vFx, etc?
Seems like something that, other than requiring a restart, would not take too much just because the game is already set to prefer the uncompressed /data/ folder if present. -
Haven't messed with them here on my new rig, but I was able to change some physX settings without a phsyX card when I had the program package installed on my old comp.

Quote:Not yet started on, but apparently greenlughted, they also mentioned a new blaster secondary that sounded more physical/MA styling recently.Originally Posted by Amy_Amp
Pole/staff melee is known to be on the whiteboard. What that means in terms of how soon we see it is unknown. My guess is not Soon(tm). I think that's the only new forthcoming set that we know of.
Still rooting for clown and carnie mms though. -
Specifically, the physX implementation on CoH is from prior to the Nvidia buyout and integration into Nvidia video cards. So the game doesn't recognize an Nvidia card's ability to play physics processor.

Quote:So could some form of this then give us shedding feather wings with matching shed feathers?

Since its been asked, path auras are not limited to decals on the ground, and can contain rather complex particle movement. So things like fire, smoke, frost, bugs, etc., are completely in the realm of possibility.

I can attest that Dark Armor has recovery debuff resist as well.
The two are always paired from what I have seen.
End drain resist is not reported in attribute monitors, but recovery debuff resist is. It's in the last tab of "Debuff Resistance."
Along with Toxic resistance not on a click. -

0) Black text, especially non-bold, is bad. Some of us use the "Villain" skin so it's black on shades of red.

4) Just because Blizzard is making money doesn't mean it's developers are raking it in. Plus, as long as you make enough, it's better to work on something you enjoy more anyway

Quote:Having the ability to have power effects (blasts mainly, but other powers too) originate/start with a rune being drawn would be awesome. Fore more "powerful" powers (any of the ones with a longer animation) it could actually take time to finish drawing it, while quick attacks would just have the rune fully formed.Originally Posted by Zyphoid
The FX on the temp power rune of warding is amazing anything like that would be great.
With the fact you could add in delays from drawing, you could make several runes and have them all available for all the powers, just chaing the drawing time to fit animation time.

Good call. I'd like to add maybe the Synapse Hero streak-style as an option? Winged Boots are close, but not quite as good as the effect on Synapse.

Coding issue, if I'm not mistaken, as they generally prefer to not change graphics unless there are health reasons (Sonic Resonance), balance issues (animations not long/short enough), or performance reasons (even one instance of the power having too big an impact on the player's computer).Quote:Originally Posted by Angelxman81
Couple of more suggestions, love this thread!
Travel powers
I know its hard to ask for a VFX dev to not actually add a FX to a power, but I dont think sprint, fly or superjump need those ugly auras around hands and feet. When we jumping with superjump we leave a trail of semitransparent onion rings, and thats no sense. Im sure those FX were made long before you even work for Paragon but I think is time for them to go or got updated to something more fresh and cool.
So they need to code a customization interface that works with Pool/Epic/Patron powers - which are many compared to Primary & Secondary sets, and can be changed around. -

The level/inf badges are unique to each "faction", (Primal-born Heroes and Villians vs Praetorians) - so there is another way for the DB to tell.
As far as the "Agent of" badges the solution for removal would be even more simple (WARNING : NOT A PROGRAMMER) - any character with two or more would make the system check the primal/praetorian flag -
Quote:Bug hunter is only peripherally award via a bug. It's awardes via dev concesus for discovering a major issue. No bug, exploited or not, can award it.Originally Posted by kidengineer
That's still via/by way of a bug. But my point is... given a choice between the avid reader/agent of badges and bug-hunter, what would most people choose?
Part of the issue is often the only difference between being award via bug vs. exploiting is intent. So it makes it easier to just remove it.Quote:Originally Posted by Commander
I feel differently. If earned through a bug: keep it. If earned through an exploit: remove.
debatable. Like I stated above, intent is a big part of it. Exploiting is punishable by ban, merely benifitting from a bug isn't.Quote:Originally Posted by Alpha-One
The very definition of exploit is earning a reward via a bug.
Rare yes. Unique? No, not after Halloween with the fitb tipQuote:Originally Posted by Lothic
Basically the Badge Hunter code wasn't implemented to make sure no one would have them both verified because until now there was no reasonable way anyone could have managed it in the first place. I don't really consider it a "failure" of the Badge Hunter code. It's just a unique, very rare situation that Beef_Cake is going to have to handle as he's already described.
Mission badge as I understand it. The fifth(/sixth) badges are exclusive despite being awarded as different badges - swapping sides, as I recall, didn't change thenbadge title - you had to re-earn it and the new one removed your old one. -
