  1. The ninja run power isn't as fluid as it could be and i'm not sure this was intentional or a rushed distribution. I've noticed the following:

    On the ground:
    * There are animations for forward, forward/diagonal, left & right, and backwards only.
    * There are no backwards/diagonal animations - the character just stays in the rear animation run and glides to the left or right.

    In the air:
    * When changing direction during mid jump (Ie: jumping right and then changing to a forward direction) a character doesn't adjust/change leaping animation until you land and continue in the new direction.

    So, there is no diagonal animation when traveling backwards and no transitional animation during mid jump/leap travel. I'm not sure how difficult it would be to make this adjustment in animation but i'm hoping this gets a look as time permits since it's something we've paid for and not included in the game as it was in another game. The additional animations would improve the fluidity of the power overall and certainly justify the $10 bucks I paid.

    Ninja Run

    I agree with everyone about how cool the "ninja run" is. When i tried CO their "acrobatics" travel power was so cool I wished it was in Cox. And now it is - very cool. I'm going to offer a suggestion to improve it when I get a chance (if it hasn't been done already). Because the power just isn't as fluid as it could be and seems a bit rushed out. I know some will scratch their heads but here's what I noticed:

    On the ground:

    * There are animations for forward, forward/diagonal, left & right, and backwards only.
    * There are no backwards/diagonal animations - the character just stays in the rear animation run and glides to the left or right.

    In the air:
    * When changing direction during mid jump (Ie: jumping right and then changing to a forward direction) a character doesn't adjust/change leaping animation until you land and continue in the new direction.

    So, there is no diagonal animation when traveling backwards and no transitional animation during mid jump/leap travel. I think it would be simple to add this in and the fluidity would make the power even more enjoyable for the $10 bucks you pay.

    I'm hoping for some adjustments if possible.
  3. It's all about the sexy.... yea, still around.

    MA Mondays!

    Glad this is going well and everyone is having a great time with it, Amy. It's been up on the United Heroes Brigade Calendar as a reoccurring event for a while and the feedback has been great! I've been too busy with other projects to offer my arcs - one of which has to do with how the UHB was formed - go figure. Just wanted to piggy-back on the compliments to say it's a great idea and hope to be able to contribute to this sometime. Enjoy.
  9. I was on redsdie (Wizard 0f Oz) and it was a hoot.... good show. (sorry for the delayed post... madd busy).

    Game on!

    Welcome.... my suggestion is to "play the game" and take your time with the content (if that's for you) and I mean really get into the lore and character development from your own creative end. Besides tailor sessions and a diverse community that's where the fun is. Figure out which type of concept is amazing to run with for you the first time through and really get lost in it and take your sweet time.

    It's only my humble opinion that the first time through is amazing to look back on after a good mmo year has gone by. You get to say.. "omg.. I remember when..." and that in itself makes for a great time ahead.

    Have fun!
  11. Seems like an absolutely wonderful idea..... much support on this endeavor. Although, it may not be advertised, this is something that many in my network work toward and would support 100%. An awesome idea. Bravo!
  12. I'll plan on attending if there is room.

  13. The UHB Network' is a private channel hosted by the United Heroes Brigade/United Villains Brigade on Champion server. It's use is aimed toward teaming opportunities and social - game networking w/ Badges, TF's, Zone Events, Trade, general help and more.

    Three things to be aware of coming in: This is NOT an SG/VG recruiting or PL friendly channel. Spamming or posting recruitment adds, or PL requests + advertisements are not tolerated by members, supporters or Ops should we become aware of it and No Drama Tolerated. (should go w/out saying but i'm sure we get it).

    Invites are by referral, or direct contact with an officer of the brigade. Random invites are avoided and usually offered after a good teaming experience - anyone would be welcome to contact me directly @Steel Brigade for help in that regard.
  14. I enjoyed reading this, doom... nicely done, man.
  15. wow.... i'm using a inv/spine right now and didn't even notice this bug til someone told me it was on the forums.... brutes and tanks were mentioned but to clarify is this a bug that is affecting invincibility on all scales to include the scrapper version?

    I'm running a level 42 (St. Jim) on champion..... I'd run through a mob and they follow to a good tight corner area and the controller i run with at times locked em down and we pwnz. I think i'll test this out in perez park n see how that goes.... bugs are fun :P

    Game On!
  16. Wish we kept this going.... very cool tie in for the server and great addition to add to each guilds own calendar to bring the players together from abroad.
  17. Just curious..... this was such a wonderful endeavor and I am among the many who wondered if it was still ongoing. Who has this project in hand? And has it been updated as of late?
  18. hmmmm..... I pvp and people spend the match running away; and those i've beaten didn't rate the match. Next time i'll add their names to the bio so i won't forget...lol.
  19. But States... AI fix? The 18th con just stands there lookin stupid instead of challenging the hero... why not have the 18th and beyond con choose to target from range and not close to melee til one of the 17 drop instead? Wouldn't that be real AI?... it just doesn't make a heap of sense!

    How about enermies with assault weapons or just range in general taking cover? stuff like that is at least respectable AI advancement IMHO. But hey, it's your game and u do what u want i guess.

    Oh btw! Your statesman build rocks! I saw you in the strike and totally froze where i was to look. It was like seeing Michael Jackson for the first time in your neighborhood. Well back when he was a phenomenom anyway....lol.

    You'll have your chance - I'll be playing the one and only Statesman!

    Just curious, Mr. Emmert. Will statesman be played on the same i5/i6 scale as other inv/ss tanks since nerfs? Or will he be a souped up version beyond what our tanks could ever achieve since nerfs?

    oH, and anyone know what time this will all go down? I so want to be there to see the big man get down. It's what i've always wanted in coh having statesman and his merry band available to pair up with in special events or to be able to be part of a large story where u can earn the privilege of interacting with Mr. One n Only. Sweet stuff!

    I'd love a response to this.

    thx,
