Quote:I'm not sure that any player unfamiliar with the game or even MMO's in general really even thinks about their build in the first hour. I know I didn't, not until I had played for a lot longer than an hour, more like after my 14 days of free trial time had run out and I started subscribing to the game.Originally Posted by Thirty-Seven
I guess you totally missed the part that caused my amazement... or are intentionally being obtuse to make me look more stupid than I would otherwise appear.
Also, to take on the statement above, it is not that I think new players are dumb... but more that they are ignorant of what things they may need to know, or remember in the first place. Also, I can't imagine most newer players have any idea there is a Test Server... I know I didn't learn about it until LONG after I had started playing (in fact, I didn't join the forums until months after I started playing... and didn't learn about Test until well after that).
About the only people I would think that that hour can be spent doing something better than leveling another character up to level 6, is someone who's played the game long enough that they can get past level 10 in that same hour.
A new player, is going to spend a lot more time in the character creator than than will on getting to level 6, because our CC is just that awesome. They may forget to save their costume the first time, they probably wont the second time around. Isn't nice that we even have that option now? -

Quote:Were I new player, I'd pick a powerset that looked interesting or fit a concept and probably ignore any powersets requiring me to purchase them until I saw it in action in the game.Originally Posted by Lazarillo
Have things like people wanting to be able to preview attack animations and the like been taken into consideration with the for-purchase powersets? Will they be selectable and then buyable like costume pieces, or will they be grayed-out and unable to even be looked at like the GR sets?
Guessing the latter, but I can speak for myself, at least, and say I'm a little hesitant to put real money into a set when I don't know what it looks like. -

You call it hilarious, once might be amusing, but if they're doing it on a regular basis... starts seeming kind of childish.

Thanks for the info.
Really irks me when someone gives an invite - I've never met the person, grouped with them or anything. Yet somehow they want me in their SG. -
Quote:The last word I heard from a dev about powerset repsecs is that it would invalidate all the work the company has done to make this game alt-friendly.Originally Posted by Shadow State
Last word I recall hearing on this from the Devs wasn't "we don't want to" but "we don't see any point." Still a no but not quite as emphatic.

I hate getting harassed in game, and so I wish they would create a female only server. They have female only gyms for a reason. An online video game is not a dating site.
If we can have VIP servers please make one female only.
Thanks.

That you seem to think that females wont harass other females

Woot!
New job, so this will be the first 2XP weekend I will be able to join in since I started playing, almost 4 years ago. -
So after spending all of Saturday moving into my new apartment and getting no sleep from being so sore, what did I do... flew down to Comic Con, walked around from 10am until a quarter to 5. Went to dinner at CafeDiem with a friend that joined me at the Con, then we went to the Corvette Diner for desert with the same friend. Finally got in at 11:30.
I'm beat, but I had fun. Got my Vicky and got my Praetorian Guard.

Quote:Nor have I. Though at times I've heard people calling for one and at other times I've heard people claiming to be one.Originally Posted by Cinder_Flux
I still don't get it.
I have played this game for over 6 yrs and have yet to see a healer AT.
At that point I usually cross the street and avoid eye contact. -
On the same character I've gone through multiple mission without getting a single Tip to drop and there there are times like last night where I had three drop... while I was in my Morality mission. <shrug> RNG is random.

Quote:Well, all of my angels are bent on the destruction of mankind, except for my Main, who despite her name is not actually an angel. As for a Blueside MM, I roll an Illusion Controller or join a full team on my Defender. Usually has a better pet AI, but not always. ^.^Originally Posted by Goddamage
I always thought it is a bit unfair that there's no hero equivalent to the villain mastermind power set. I also understand that one could just work through Praetoria and go hero at the end, but that's not the same.
Another reason for this would be to have an Angel summoning power (pointed out in another thread). I'm sure everyone could see how cool that would be. I suppose it wouldn't be necessary to have a Hero MM to have that particular power, but it sorta wouldn't make sense as a Villain power.
So, what other Hero MM powers would be cool? Robots, Ninjas, and Soldiers could stay, but Villains could keep Demons, Thugs, and Zombies... I'd say those aren't really suitable for Heroes. To replace those, on the Hero side I'd add Angels, Beast/Animal summoning, and Police Back-up. -
I will at least be able to attend on Sunday. Wish I could have attended the entire show for my first time there.

Quote:They have stated in the past, more recently I think I heard it mentioned in U-Stream as well.Originally Posted by Lemur Lad
No, they've said what is now Energy Blast was their first attempt way back in the day 7 years ago. That doesn't mean they think it's an adequate stand-in today.
I've also never heard them say that making Water would make Ultra mode mandatory, but that could easily have been something I missed. I'm more likely to accept that they said to do Water the way they'd like to would require Ultra Mode levels of graphics, which isn't the same thing.
Techbot Alpha is correct that they said that a water based power would require Ultra Mode and that they were unwilling to have a power that not everyone could use (ie use without looking incredibly awful.)
Personally, I have found Fire coloured in blues to make a very nice Water power.
Really depends on a character's personal viewpoint of what it "holy". For one of mine it's plants.Quote:Originally Posted by Leo_G
I always figured a 'holy' dmg type would be energy/fire DoT along with an additional effect of -dmg and additional fire dmg vs undead...
A 'spiritual' or 'holy' damage set really isn't that farfetched. -
Quote:Even if they should ever port CoH over to a console platform, I surely would not abandon my computer to play on it. Another game tried the whole PC/console platform, guess what, it blew chunks.Originally Posted by BROOOTALITY
It's reasons like this that so many people switch to consoles.
I've had very few graphics issues myself and haven't had to roll back, but then I've been a little slow in updating my drivers, seems that's been a good thing this round. -
Quote:What it looks like is that Rx10 allocated only as many slots to a power that would accommodate the different Enhancements that can be slotted into said power.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
Maaaan, those Rx10 links won't open for me. I was really looking forward to seeing what he thinks is a "good build," too.
For instance Nullify Pain allows for:
Reduce Endurance Cos
Enhance Heal
Increase Attack Rat
So Rx10 only put 3 slots in Nullify Pain, slotting one each of the above, and did the same for every single power in both primary and secondary of his Merc/Pain MM. There were the occasional Set IO, but only ever one of them. -
Quote:Unknown at this time, but each power will need at least one slot...Originally Posted by Residentx10
My characters need a respec badly. I was planning to take a weekend later this month to do it but with all of these new powers coming I'm probably going to wait.
1.Does anyone know what the time manipulation powers are and how many slots will be needed for each power in this set? For the past 6 months, I've been grooming a dominator replacement for my controller. She's at 45 now and I was planning to delete the controller when the dominator hits 50. But with these new powers, I may delay her execution.
<.<
I have seen the appropriate answers for characters that have Dimensional Warder Badge, have taken out some of the Praetorians, and have done zero.Quote:2.Also, I was in pocket d and I clicked on Null the Gull. I could of sworn I killed all of those enemies on all of my characters when I maturated them but I"m showing I haven't killed any of them. Is anyone showing completed when you click on the bird? Do you have to defeat the enemies personally or as part of group too?
I will make at least one character over there but I have absolutely no intention of moving any of my characters to the VIP server. As for the play on non-overpopulation servers, yes it is very different. Thankfully.Quote:3.Also, how many of you are going to move to the VIP server? VIP sounds nice but Freedom has so many people. This game will become very different if played on a low volume server.
I will remain subscribed to the game until they turn the lights out.Quote:4.Finally, how many of you plan to stay VIP or go to F2P/Premium? I'll probably stay VIP but the Paragon Points don't really interest me at all. I really wish they would fix some of the incarnate bugs(cooldown timers, disconnects, and Trial leader bump). I've crafted so many slots I really would like to be able to use them more during play. -
Quote:Same here, Forbin and some friend of mine were baffled about why I keep making Praetorians (besides the awesome stories.) Apparently, they were unaware of the Prestige bonus for signing on an ex-Praet.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Not for me. I love that 100k prestige bonus my praets get the first time they join an SG.
