Hmm. I honestly don't know how to slot Dwarf Drain to get the most bang for buck. It's costly in end, it's a good heal, it's good damage. So how do I slot it to maximize that all?
Also, could somebody take a look at the build I'm working with right now and see if I missed something obvious?

Quote:...or the spawn was +1 to mission level.Originally Posted by Gaia
If you were seeing mobs of 3 minions on Malicious something had already defeated the rest of the mob or you had pulled only part of it. -
If Conserve Power, Build Up and Orbiting Death could be used in Nova/Dwarf Form.
Oh and if the Dwarves provided Defense and Slow resistance, one more of one than the other.
/wishful thinking. -
Have you ever noticed that, every room and then, mobs will spawn at +1 to mission level?
That's been in since forever. It's made missions more varied. It was good.
Then I16 came, bringing with it the much-improved Notoriety system, and... mucking it all up.
You see, before I16, whenever a room was randomly selected to spawn +1 mobs, it would spawn them for a team one smaller. Running solo on Malicious (the old and insanely popular equivalent of +0x2 with bosses) you would run into spawns of 5 minions, or 3 +1 ones. It was good. It was a varied but even challenge.
And now? The spawn engine's broken. Spawn size is independent from spawn level. You'll run into anything from 3 +0s to 5 +1s (or 4 +1s and a +1 LT, but that's another problem). No matter how you set the settings, you'll have spawns that are either too easy, too boring, or ones that will smear you over the pavement. No way to avoid both, as it was with the old system.
Can we please get this fixed already? I know there are others like me who don't enjoy setting their settings to -1 or x1 because then the mobs that spawn properly are too weak to be fun to fight. If I wanted to fight big spawns of +1s, I'd set the settings to +1x2 or more, but don't force my less soloable characters into them. Please. -

Quote:There's a problem with those attacks. The ones you specifically shown. You know what happens after them? The character moves forward to burn off the momentum. That's something that's limiting the CoH engine. That punch and keeping your footing would look silly, though I'd be happy to have the Devs prove me wrong. Maybe an alternate Crane Kick?Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I've used it, not because I expressly like the animation, but because it's the closest thing to a specific attack that the game SORELY MISSES. I mean, more specifically, a basic, strong, forward punch. Jin Saotome demonstrates:

-yes-. I'd swear some KinMelee attacks work like that.Quote:I've often wondered if we can't give EVERY attack a few extra frames of animation that can be interrupted by another power, and reserve those few frames for returning to combat stance. That way, if you used an attack alone, it would flow from stance to animation to stance fluently, but if you chained attacks, they would flow into each other (with a bit of a skip) without going through the start-and-stop affair that is the current animations system. Not having to return to combat mode after EVERY attack would make most sets flow far better.
I have the reverse problem.Quote:Originally Posted by Eva Destruction

There is an issue with the sounds of Kinetic Melee. The "impact" sounds do not get reduced with range. If you're close enough to hear it, you hear it at full volume.
Quote:Please don't present personal bias as objective fact.Originally Posted by Trickshooter
It makes me more than a little sad that we ended up with these sounds, from what I saw, in order to please a minority of players that needed to hear an explosion everytime their fists hit an enemy, and then when the majority requested the original sounds back, we were told it was too close to release to change them again. -
Ah, good to see I'm not alone.

Quote:Somewhat different from the whip. The whip isn't fundamentally different than other right handed attacks. It's only different in that the movement of the actual whip was an absolute [REDACTED] to model, and even those four animations were extremely art team time intensive.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Not what I heard. Last I heard from BaBs before he left was that it was a case of there are literally no existing animations they could use as a basis for a set like this. Therefore, a bit like the whip, they'd have to do all new, completely from scratch animations for it. Which'd take a helluva lot of time.
The problem with Staff is that you'd need to create a whole new mode of movement. That means new animations for everything. Standing, walking, running, ninja running, beast running, strafing, backing up, jumping, falling over, dodging, taking a hit, flying, most of the above while flying, hovering, everything.
And that's before they get to the actual attack animations.
Even worse, even if somehow they had the resources to make all that, the engine does not currently support a two-handed weapon. They'd have to teach it that (imagine the bugs!), or invent some impressive klutz to create a very convincing illusion that the character holds the staff in one hand.
And no, having one hand glued to the staff and the other hovering inside it does not count. -
On the upside, the quadrufecta of Staff, Spear, Polearm and Scythe have the benefit that the worst part of the work to add one would also make the other two a matter of new attack animations.
Of course, then we'd get four new S/L melee sets. Um, yay? -

Quote:Hit, or attacked with? If I manage to dodge every attack the mobs around me throw at me for X time, can I change alpha mid-fight?Originally Posted by Black Scorpion
The check for in combat actually is checking if you were hit by a hostile power recently. There is a special map-wide power in Ouroboros which technically counts as hostile as the result of a minor unrelated technical limitation. In Issue 20 we made a fix to the limitation and can now flag powers like these as not counting as hits for purposes of things like suppressing Hide or triggering the in combat slotting check and related cooldown. Ouroboros is on our list of places to make this fix, but if you know of other maps that are causing this it is probably the same cause and the same fix, so we would like to know about them. Thanks in advance.

That... looks very similar to the default Mercenaries rifle.

What's with the *clunk* sound when the Archer prepares for a Rain of Arrows? Was that always in and I just failed to notice? -

Please, use a little common sense. While I'll bet there are a few "special" people out there who might be able to run 50 TF/SFs in a week do you really think the Devs think that's a common ability amongst our playerbase?

Quote:I really dislike Change Ammo. It's barely worth the power slot, and it's definitely not worth the tray slots.Originally Posted by Ice_Wall
I really like change ammo in dual pistols.
But my understanding of what being stated was not that you'd change your power, but add a secondary effect.
IE Snipe shot in Assault rifle, you could add a -def or -regen or dot, secondary affect to the power.
And if this was something you could do on a per power basis, that'd be awesome.
And it'd be something added to the power, and not a power of switching between ammo types.
But that's if I'm understanding the concept correctly...
Let me pick one of the ammo types as a permanent auto, give it a damage boost or increase the secondary effect, and I'm golden.
