Personally I hope when they do customisation for power pools they add the ninja/beast run animations as alternates for super speed, super jump and combat jumping.

To answer your question though: Same reason super jump turns combat jumping off. They don't want you having full mobility and full defense at the same time, I suppose. Especially they don't what you having full mobility in combat, which is why travel suppression exists.

I was going to go with Hades personally, but Hyperion works as well.

[quote]As it is, there is nothing in lore to suggest Malta has any 'in-between' stage Titans. The reason the Kronos looks the way it does is highly likely to be purely for metagame reasons, i.e. it was cheaper/faster resources wise.[quote]

Perhaps worth noting, there's nothing in lore that I know of that specifically says the Kronos isn't made up of two smaller titans the same as the Zeus is. We've just never seen the smaller once since they don't currently exist ingame. I think they should, is all. Might've been just because it was easier to make the model in the first place, but I think they should run with it now that they've done it.

Just something that occured to me this afternoon while beating up a Kronos titan. The Zeus titans are made of two Hercules titans combined. The Kronos in turn uses the same model as the Zeus, just scaled up and grey. It has the same extra legs folded away on the back that the Zeus has, thus one can only assume that it too is made of two smaller titans combined together.

Why haven't we seen those ones? Seems like a cool thing to put in as a Malta EB. Alternately, if the events of the DA personal story mission which I won't spoil go ahead, perhaps they could be the boss of an incarnate trial? Two smaller bosses which combine into one when they hit 50% or some such. I think it'd be cool.

Nothing major, just a couple of things that jumped out at me when I was doing one of these a couple of hours ago.

Firstly: One of the missions, I think the fourth, states in the little text popup you get when entering the mission that this base mimics the layout of the last three exactly. Which would be fine, if it did. I don't think I've ever seen it match the layout of any of the first three missions, as they're all random. Be nice if they could either set those missions to always use the same map so that popup wouldn't be lying, or simply change the popup to something that isn't blatantly untrue.

Secondly: The one hunt mission where you have to kill Council in Independence Port specifically. Would it be possible to update the nav bar text for this to say 'Question Council soldiers in Independence Port' instead of just 'Question Council soldiers'? Every time I do the TF, there's always someone who doesn't know about that one and runs off to boomtown or wherever to fight lower level ones. Then gets confused when they don't count.

Personally I think they should make them dual purpose like the new Assassin Strike is. If you fire it at greater than the range of a normal blast power (80 ft), they work as they do now perhaps with a slight damage increase over current values. While if you fire them from closer, they have a short uninterruptible animation and less damage.

Count me in as another one experiencing this problem.

No power ingame currently has the option of alternate sounds, so I'd assume that one would take some work. The visual effects could be done as alternate animations, though.

Alternately, keep the mechanic but add an extra thing to it where the death patches appear randomly but only on targets not in melee range of the AV. Just to make it more evenly annoy people.

Really, a lot of the problem with it as it is is they flat out spawn randomly. Which is fine, but when half the league is melee and all clustered together in one spot, the chance of a damage patch not appearing there is so tiny as to be functionally impossible. Assuming it uses player positions as possible spots to drop one, which I'm pretty sure it does.

Also worth noting:
- Several melee sets and all epic pools for melee ATs have ranged powers, so you're not completely useless when forced away from the AV.
- In the Apex TF, Battle Maiden can be pulled out of the damage patches easily if not immobilised. Taunt powers have a -range effect specifically for this reason, to stop targets just standing there and using ranged attacks and instead force them to actually come to you. I'd imagine the same would apply to most of the others, too.
- In the Marauder fight in Lambda, there's an orbital bombardment that specifically hits targets more than a certain distance away from him, IE: all the ranged players. That does next to no damage, though, especially compared to Nova Fist. It does happen constantly, though.

Personally I think that last one needs to be used both more often and more effectively. We need more things that we have to hug the boss to avoid, so every fight isn't just 'everyone out of the death patches, sucks to be you if you're melee'.

I could get behind both the simple line around the edge and the emblem patterns, though as you say a lot of the emblems look a little bad if you put them all in one colour, as the other has to be used for the base colour of the cape.

Amusingly if you look in a saved costume file (They're just plain text) there's actually four colours listed for every single costume part, of which two aren't used. The only thing that uses them is capes, and other stuff that's like capes like the bolero and trench coats. Which use two for one side's colours and two for the other side. Everything else just uses two and leaves the other two blank. I can't help but wonder if that's just them not wanting to code a specific exception for outputting colours on a cape as opposed to everything else, or if the whole system actually has two colour slots, as such, that it's not using on most costume parts.

I don't think I ever heard the old CoV theme. Anyone know if I can find it anywhere without resorting to pigg diving?

All it would take would be making the waves use the same code as almost every ambush in the game and just spawn some amount of time after the last one dies rather than on static several minute timers even if you murder them all in ten seconds. Just make the next one pop up for example thirty seconds after the last mob in the previous one dies.

And to those who would say what about the people who really need the respec cause they managed to gimp their characters that badly (In itself something you almost need to be deliberately trying to do, in this game), I would point out that's still longer than most ambush timers by quite a lot, normal ones in other missions are more like 5-10 seconds between waves.

Water/Ice blaster and Plant/Nature controller, for me. Might also reroll my SJ/Regen shapeshifter character as bio armor instead depending on how the set looks.

Not entirely sure this is the right forum for this, but as the title says the server status page on the main CoH website is apparently broken. For the last hour at the time of this post, the servers have been down for maintenance. But the status page has listed them all as up the whole time. I'm just thinking it probably shouldn't be doing that when they're not actually up at all.

Can we get an option to keep the one that's there? Or at the very least, can we get something that I'll actually be able to see, rather than most of it disappearing off the side of the page?

Of the two I like option 1 better, but I'd much rather stick with what we have. The game has too much Penny lately. I like her as a character but it's starting to get annoying having her shoehorned in everywhere for no good reason.
