You FAIL!!!!!! You did not mention Hammerfall!
Or maybe he's fighting while sitting down. All the flames and the cloak make it hard to tell. -
Quote:Well, the Perez Park Predator is going nicely. Stopping at 12, so 6 levels to go. At 12 i'll be able to handle most spawns in PP solo. He's an almost plant-like creature with iron jaws where a face should be. Sort of a bogeyman that terrorizes and punishes those who do evil in the park and the surrounding neighborhoods. Something like a vengeful spirit or avatar of the park.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Way to go Quinch. Don't worry about the people that don't understand why you want to do this. I've been kicking around a similar idea myself for RP reasons in different zones. I've got a few to almost the levels I want.

Quote:Mmm, i like grits as well. It's hard to find places that make really good grits in New England.Originally Posted by GibsonMcCoy
I had to eat hominy as a kid. It was awful.
Funny thing is, I like grits with some cheese, butter, salt and pepper, but just hominy? No thanks! -
Quote:When it's military recruits who individually may have the potential to inflict more damage than a main battle tank and the nation is involved in an ongoing war for the very survival of humanity? Oh yes. Even in standard military services defying the law and the commander in chief is not allowed. Now, when the commander in chief is the one who writes the laws? Of course.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
So only unquestioning obedience to the Leader is allowed?

Quote:Good idea. i completely forgot to mention that i use Repulsion Bomb primarily as an attack that does knockdown and occasionally stuns. So yeah, slotting it as a damage power that comes with a couple bonuses is the way to go if you use it.Originally Posted by Loktight
Thanks alot for all your advice, but for that point in particular. I had no idea that repulsion bomb didn't always stun. I can't wait till I get home tonight, and get these powers re-slotted!
I didn't actually realize the power of pumping up defenses from 40% - 45% until I read a guide on how the hit mechanics actually work in COH, but I see what you're saying now.
For FF Maneuvers>>>Repulsion Field.
Force Bubble can be a very useful power. Pushing/herding groups into corners for more effective AoE use is just one example. -
It's working just fine for me as well.
i have no explanation. -
Quote:No no no. Change it to Vivisect VI.Originally Posted by Tonality
I propose the following merged server and the new server names:
-ViViVi: (it looked cool): Virtue, Victory, Vigilance
Then replace that server's Jack In Irons with an ogre named Nivek. -

Quote:Well if so far they've managed to get a substantial ROI i don't see why they wouldn't. If the investors make back their investment and get a healthy profit it doesn't matter if the game collapses 2-3 years later. By then Cryptic has moved on to their next MMOs and the money is still coming in. Eventually gamers may become leery of any game associated with Cryptic, but it's possible that could go on for many years. There have been other game publishers that continue churning out licensed games that are usually garbage for over a decade and continue to this day. Eventually Cryptic might get a bad enough reputation that new shiny syndrome won't be enough anymore, but by that point they've made their money and the investors move on...Originally Posted by Tokyo
I'm surprised anyone is willing to throw cash at any new cryptic project.

i'd definitely agree that Black Scorpion is the easiest to take down.

Quote:And that's from at least one patch back. A patch that didn't actually aggravate the zone lockup issues it was supposed to correct. The latest patch made more zones/characters inaccessible to many players instead of fixing the zone issue (Lemuria aka Lagmuria) it was intended to address.Originally Posted by Ironblade
hmm.... I guess there was some rumor of general dissatisfaction....

Quote:Increased damage output counters regen just as effectively as regen debuffs do, even more so if you have enough damage, so there's not any actual need for -regen if Shivans hit hard enough, and the way they tear into enemies normally, when -regen is a non-factor, i'm going to go with the added damge.Originally Posted by Fiery-Enforcer
I'm not sure exactly, so you might be right about that lol. But, it still stands that we didn't have enough -regen to do it without them without any legit debuffs.
It's been observed many times before that Shivans are borderline OP, which is why i like them so much. -
Quote:Well, if we're talking about real-world, competent drive-by shootings, then you do in fact stop long enough to shoot. Attempting to fire while driving at speed usually results in anything but the target getting hit; assuming you hit anything at all.Originally Posted by Premonitions
Super-speed does drive bys. It does'nt stop to stab.

Quote:So you're allowed to select Devs from other games now?Originally Posted by Dispari
Oh I know he USED to do nice stuff. But I'm speaking currently. He left us to make a rival game while claiming our playerbase is blind and that the game (which he made) sucks. He's definitely worthless NOW.
In that case, "Bill Roper, I choose you!"
*throws Dev-E Ball*
"Roper, use money-gated content attack!"

Quote:Sorry, but your answer must be in the form of a Dev currently employed at Paragon Studios.Originally Posted by Dispari
Statesman! Do I win? (Admittedly the offer does not specify that. Quite an oversight.)
Also, Jack Emmert was far from worthless, regardless of what you may think of his communications prior to the buyout. During CoH's development he was in charge of all of the good things that keep people playing to this day, even if he also did and said things that weren't as good, so he can hardly be called worthless. -
Regarding the thread title: So basically this is an opportunity to take a whiz on that other game?

Cast not thine stones, brothers and sisters-ah, at those who have but recently joined the flock-ah of the almighty Doom-ah.
For verily it is said within the covers of the Doomcrier's Bible that the strong-ah of voice-ah shall be heard across-ah the forums-ah while the meek shall hide in a corner and deny-ah the Truth-ah.
Count not the post-ah counts-ah of those Prophets-ah who take forward their portents of the future-ah. For they carry-ah the Word of Doom-ah to the unbelievers and the weak of faith-ah. And in the eyes of-ah Doom; they are holy-ah.
And Brother Westley-ah... Think not-ah that thou art beyond the reach-ah of the Doom-ah! For the Doomcrier's Bible-ah does say; "Turn thee not aside-ah the Conspiracy Theorist-ah for they are blessed of Doom-ah and doth a Doomcrier be in the depths-ah of their hearts."
And now-ah, a final thought-ah for the faithful of the Doomcrier's Bible. Remember, my children-ah, the words of the First Doomcrier:
"Let us prey." -
Very nicely done.
....
Wait, Shivans have -regen? i always thought they just had -def and high damage output in their attacks. Which attack has -regen in it? -

You'll find your many of your modern pop-culture references are lost on me.

Not it! -
Quote:It has been postulated by Westley in the general discussion forums that it seems somewhat suspicious that a lot of people with low post counts and join dates no later than about two years ago are starting various whinge/doom threads, never posting again after the first post, then starting a similar thread in another section, and this is all happening right as Cryptic announces an expansion.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
Oh god, *laughs*
Perhaps it's a plot. Or just a particularly venal sort of astroturfing. -
Quote:You are very obviously not a programmer. Anyway, merging games would be monumental effort. Even if you could get the various companies and development teams to agree to doing it it would still be a task worthy of Sisyphus since you would have to reconcile vastly different database structures and game mechanics since no game would be willing to give up the mechanics that their players have come to know and expect. It would be as difficult to balance as the conversion systems that have been used by pen and paper RPGs, but it would have to be done constantly, in real time. Amusing gedankenexperiment, but not actually practical.Originally Posted by Dr_HR
Ok. lets try to end this here and now...will anyone with more then half a brain be able to list:
the advantages and disadvantages of merging the game (besides the dam number of players)..what Ncsoft needs to do etc...because i doubt it is as easy as people make it out to be...sure it would be nice..but does ANYONE know what has to be done inorder to do it.??????

Quote:Their misery is more bittersweet and far more solid, chunky even, than ours. They really didn't have to try importing it here on my account since i've been getting all i could want over at the CO forums.Originally Posted by Clouded
I think it's more about players from ChO coming to bring down CoH to share in their misery.
