I didn't expect the ending. Enjoyed the action though. Denzel still has it, also Ryan Reynolds wasn't half bad either. Really played the part well

Because I like it so much and I was bored, I dusted off COH and made a very very short video using the theme. Great movie, I suggest checking it out if you haven't

Quote:THANKS! It was actually exactly paragraphed as you have it in my description but when I copied and pasted it it looked like a big chunk. Didn't feel like fixing it again.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
An abrupt end to a peaceful morning on patrol. Tony Vance was (removed "among") one of the few police officers to survive the Galaxy City disaster. Before he knew it, the city was torn apart before his eyes. His only home, gone within seconds. Officer Vance was tired. Tired of fighting day in(removed a comma) and day out, of protecting this city to just have it crushed in seconds. So he took action.
New paragraph
While searching the abandoned police station for any weapons he could find, Tony came across a cache of confiscated villain equipment. The tech there was just what the officer needed to defend himself and fight his way out of Galaxy City. Finally, he searched the cell block for any prisoners left behind. After all he couldn't just let them die trapped in their cells. Tony promised to free them on the condition they followed his orders. Naturally they chose survival.
New paragraph
After losing Galaxy City, officer Vance vowed to never let this happen again. "Heroes were put into place to protect us, but I refuse to stand back and not protect myself."

The yellow text is things I've changed, added or removed. Those are all just suggestions, and most of those are just for style. There was I think all of one actual typo. Also, the underlined text right at the end is very ambiguous. I can't understand what it's trying to say, so I don't really know what I can suggest to tighten it up, since I'll probably change the idea you were trying to convey.
Please, don't read my corrections as criticisms. I'm just suggesting these things
And yes, he IS a vigilantly character! I wanted to show the side of the police force that most likely hated hero's for pretty much taking their jobs. -
I wanted to make a Hero (actually vigilantly) Thugs/Traps mastermind. I usually come up with their back story before I make the character. This is what I came up with. I haven't spell checked it or anything of that such, it is from my description in game. If there is any grammar errors or even spelling mistakes let me know.

I've been having trouble with it all morning.
I keep getting the message

Quote:I know what you mean, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with MA mechanically but it IS called Martial Arts. The alt moves are just punches. Not really anything close to being considered Martial Arts. I'm not saying we need completely over the top moves but the point of the other animations for the set in the first place were to give it more of a "fighter" feel, not more of a Martial artist.Originally Posted by Steampunkette
Eeeeeeehhhh... Kind of...
But Martial Arts definitely has a different Feel to it.
Street Justice is all about the combo juggling, throwing off AoE when you've got 2 or more stacks, and generally being a cross between Superstrength and Martial Arts with a new gimmick.
Martial Arts on the other hand is whatever you want to fire off whenever you want to fire it off. Got a big clump of enemies who are going to move away before you throw off 3 attacks (Like Igneous)? Toss out a Dragon Tail and trip them all for full damage while the Street fighter is building up power for their AoE.
I've got myself a Street Justice/Willpower character that I'm playing out as having Super-strength but not being a punch-only person. With the big room-clearing Sweeping Cross I feel like she's throwing targets around like Ragdolls with enormous power. Sure it's got a kind of silly Shin-Kick as one of it's high-end high-damage powers, but with a person with superstrength knocking someone's legs out with a well placed kick makes more sense.
I dunno, though. I think different players will create different characters with the same set. Martial Arts and Street Justice can be combined into a 3-man team with one person who -clearly- doesn't match up in fighting style with the other two. It allows for some welcome individuality.
And with the option to do a Street Justice Brute, a Martial Arts Kicking Scrapper, and a Martial Arts Punching Stalker, the playstyles are drastic enough to stand apart. Toss in a Super Strength Tank using the new punches and you'll really get a gradient of power and diversity of animations with "Street Justice" bridging the gap.
But that's just me!

Street justice is now that "fighter" set so the second animations for MA are really not needed. I'm not saying remove them but we do need some more animations to bring it back to it's MA feel. -
I'm not saying it completely out does it, or anything like that but when they added new animations for Martial Arts it was so it would give it the "Beat em up" feel. We now have that "Beat em up" powerset. In order to separate MA from the other punch sets it needs some ACTUAL Martial Arts moves. For one, Crane kicks alt could be this

There are many possibilities for this set but it's second set of animations have no place in the set with Street Justice now in the game. Super Strength is honestly fine the way it is, the moves fit perfectly with it.
I know a lot of you get what I'm saying. Another example, you could give Thunder kick, or even storm kick this

These are just a few suggestions, there are a ton of moves you can pull from actual Martial arts, but the set just needs something else to set it apart. -
As in, It's technically the next month in my billing cycle and I haven't got my 400 points. I'm trying to get street justice
-
I know we may not have the tech as of now but possibly down the road could this be considered? Where your decoys for the set are actual copies of yourself?

Is there a link to a thread where people are stating they are opposed to changing the name of the power set because this is the first time I've ever heard it was even being discussed.
Made one a while ago wondering if we were gonna get changes to it, considering they were doing some minor updates to other sets. It just seems whenever I ask people are against it or they give it reasons why it's great. -
Quote:I just haven't seen any Ice tanks on my server in 2 years. That's probably why. Yeah, A graphic update is still just as good. Only set I've seen get something new in it's animations and what not was Regen.Originally Posted by Tenzhi
Indeed. And not just that, but the ice graphics it hides your costume with are ugly.
-
I understand it's a great set but it's not really an Assault Rifle. Only Assault Rifle like set in the game belongs to the Wolf Spider. (Which is hard for me to play considering I can't stand villains side for to long). Honestly I just think it needs a new name, or something. I don't know. I know people are gonna be against it but it's not an Assault Rifle. Only costume weapon for that set that makes sense is the one with the flame barrel and what not.
-
I rarely see anyone using this defensive set. I honestly think it needs love or at least some updates.

Quote:Honestly the team I was on was to squishy to handle those missions. The enemies were far to annoying with their -ACC and what not. We were all around 20 and I was a stalker! The dark damage with it's damage over time really shut me down. We were fine with every other arc but when we got to that one we just said forget it. We were only 3 missions inOriginally Posted by warden_de_dios
After you do the storyarc it makes sense you can't.
So far nothing in Praetoria is affected by the Ghost Slaying Axe -

FYI, there is an errant apostrophe in your signature image, Mr. Bladex.

It doesn't effect the new enemies, who should be effected by it. For example, in first ward, when your fighting the possessed dust soldier, spirits pop out of them. These spirits aren't effected by the axe at all.

I see people with them in their avatar. Just wondering where I can find em.

If this was to happen, I don't know if they will do it anytime soon. The Shivan are going to attack Paragon city. We've all seen the future. It's bound to happen. I think the devs are gonna do a FULL scale invasion sooner or later. With all the stress tests lately just makes me think that's what's gonna happen. Like in the old days where the DEVS invaded Rogue Islands. Maybe Paragon will be attacked like that and the DEVS will take control of the heroes once again.
I'm not sure but I'd like to see your idea come up as well. -
Quote:Come on, these down times now are to fix the game so the freebies won't have to deal with that. What did you expect when we got the game (maybe months) ahead of time? They are flatting out most of the major bugs before F2p goes live. I honestly don't see much wrong with this. It's not like it's hard to find something else to do.Originally Posted by Brimmy
at least the american players arent getting affected by these downtimes as much as the rest of us.. 10am to 10pm for me (assuming they get it up on time which they NEVER EVER MANAGE)..
seriously though.. how can you expect to maintain a "Freebie" player-base if you're gonna keep this up? heck how're you even expecting to keep us VIP's around if you're gonna keep this up?
It's a disgrace and someone really needs to sort this crap out.. at least start giving us EU players a frekkin break and have the downtimes at other times every now and then.. we may not be as many EU players as there are NA players, but that's no reason to treat us like dirt under your shoes..
and honestly.. if this turns out to be "for server stability" i may actually snap.. because, honestly, every time you've done something "for server stability" things have gotten worse than before..
and i do mean what i wrote in the post earlier.. downtimes of this magnitude DESERVES REIMBURSEMENT! and i'm not just talking some crappy costume-code that 5/1000 players gets.. give us ALL something that's WORTH having all these downtimes.. DXP week or free PP's or -something-.... those costume codes are just a slap in the face to be honest.. a handful of people get something for what everyone is suffering for.. be better if you just laughed at us and be done with it..
And to the non-american players. That is really bad. I understand why your mad. Hopefully we are slowly reaching the end of these down times. -
I don't think it would be EXTREMELY difficult. I just would love to see this down the road!
-
I mean, I'm with that but I don't think other people actually like that. I'd like to see the ICE and Fire sets fleshed out, separate the fire sword and ice sword.
-
I get having so many moving pieces can cause lag but I'm not talking about having it with capes, but more so in place of a cape. Can this be something possible in the future?
