  1. There's two I had in mind. One being storm kick being a standing round house kick instead of a jumping one. Also for crane kick (nothing wrong with it now but..) I was thinking of the karate kid crane kick being added. If you haven't seen that kick here it is

    Any thoughts on any other animations?
  2. True. Yeah that's what I was thinkin. It just would seem to help with the whole lightness seem of the jump. I feel like my character is jumping from his tip toes half the time.
  3. I think some falling animations would be nice. Probably won't happen, but I mean if you jump off something and fall from a bit to high you land down on one knee with your hand on the ground to catch yourself.
  4. Nice! Good to hear. Thanks for the info!
  5. I've seen people mention a ground crack effect when a huge character lands and everything. Even if they do it, it doesn't have to last or stay that long. Still would be awesome. Along with that maybe even an effect for a ice themed character or fire themed character when they land from a super jump. On our current engine would this stuff really be that hard to do? I'm just wondering

    Powers

    Honestly I know they are not looking for more weapon powers but seriously? I want a staff power set! Its been requested a lot.

    Alt bow stance

    It still would be a bit cool even without the arrow there.

    Alt bow stance

    Just a thought. I'm not really sure if it can be done but could the devs make a stance so archers hold the bow downward with an arrow in it. Sorta like this.



    Bad pic but from that stance can't you still go into most of the bow attack animations?

    2 - A big "hand" so I can push the Tank into the mob *I* want him/her to aggro next.

    3 - Another tether so I can keep the Emp right next to me (I'm squishy, after all) to keep CM on me.

    4 - a long stick so I can poke the Kin to keep SB applied, nevermind that he/she might be using other powers effectively.

    And so on and so forth.

    In other words, allowing the leader to control one character's powers and or effects is a bad idea.

    I know you were just "brainstorming", but this discussion has come up before, so I am just repeating some fo that previous discussion.

    As far as OP's suggestion goes, it is a new spin on an old discussion, but I can't really support it. The KB effect is considered a part of some powers, and not using them weakens the powers' effectiveness. As someone who uses Energy Blast, it seems like extra work put on me merely because someone doesn't want to move a few steps.

    Now before someone else brings it up, I know that KB scatter can hurt a WP Tanks efficiency or negate some of the controller's powers. That's why I try very hard not to scatter in ways that reduce the efficiency of the team. Learning when to KB and when not to KB is part of learning the game. Just like learning how to gather aggro and whether your character can take an alpha strike or waiting to apply an Immob until the tanks has gathered aggro or waiting to shoot off a blast until aggro has been established are part of learning the game. In other words, bad players are bad players.
    Ok I get it controlling is bad. No need to go above and beyond to tell me its a bad idea.
  10. Infinity Badges is one and Infinity badges 2.0? I'm probably wrong but they are good channels if you are looking for people that wanna do TFs and what not
  11. Do troller Immo effect have a -Kb or something. Because sometimes it seems to stop it

    If you can't control your KB maybe learn to.
    Chill. Just a thought. Just brain storming.
  13. Scatch this didn't see the last bit of his post :P but yes. Just give the control to the leader. Makes all the fighting go bye bye. If you don't want to be on that team then there will probably be one with knockback enabled

    Congratulations!
    Seriously? There was no need for that.
  15. But yes I'm serious...If any sgs gonna join in the planning as well as throw in ideas for events during the beach party message me.
  16. Ugh..I'm not attacking Infinity blah blah blah. I've always used this server and I'm usually always a team starter. Fine, I'll organize events. There's nothing wrong with this server..never said there was but fine. The Advocates of Fate will be hosting a beach party this summer.

    I'm with you on that. The OP went all about this the wrong way.

    Also right. People argue saying coX's style of attacking is stupid. "Oh on champs you do combos! Not just push buttons"

    If you wanted to play WoW why not just play it? Honestly if you want the same thing in coh just put brawl on auto attack and do the same thing :P.

    The OP of this thread simply said give up here and do something else. That is like telling me to quit college and go do construction. Why!? I've paid *money* to further my education. I've invested *time* in what I'm doing now! Throwing all that away *IS STUPID*!

    Now if you know me, I'm all for defending suggestions and ideas. I will *ALWAYS* play devil's advocate there. But here, there is no suggestion. No rhyme or reason. If I'm going to quit college to do construction, give me a reason. My mother has cancer and needs the money and my uncle is a contractor and will get me a good starting pay. OKAY! That's an idea!

    Now lets here the OP do that with this idea.
    I'm not really defending the OPs idea. I just think people can be nicer..thats all. No need to be rude to people for an idea.

    I'm pretty much talking about posts in the forum in general. Not the OPs. I can see why people wouldn't want this and I agree but they don't need to completely kill the dude.
  21. OK how bout I give you an example. A recent thread posted talking about the "hurl scrapper" power. The OP posted nothing about how it could be done or how they would do it. YET he was praised. OTHER people said how it can be done. Not the OP. He wasn't jumped at all. Yet if a newer poster were to post their idea they would be jumped and say its a stupid idea for not explaining it. So...yeah.

    Like I said, I'm not opposed to or resent change. However I want GOOD change and compelling reasons to make it. I resent the implication that because the case someone makes isn't in any way compelling, that I'm a rabid fanboy, or "afraid" because I state in plain terms that their idea is flawed.
    But really? If someone doesn't know that much about coding should they get jumped for that? It's rude as hell to call an idea completely stupid just because someone doesn't know about the code or something.
