Wait, WHAT?!
What the hell am I doing wrong?! D=
Minion! More lava! More horrific mad science experiments and those, those....y'know, bubbly glass science kit thingers, the ones that glow ominously and have freaky cool shadows. Oh, and more red and black!

The only problem I have with Traps is that they aren't very practical in fast teams. I can only stand playing my Demons/Traps solo or with a friend so that I can control the pace to be slow enough for my Traps to tag along... I realize they're incredibly powerful in an immobile battle but most of the game has you running through maps which makes it a little annoying to play.
Enemies not watching you? Toe-bomb with Trip Mine.
Caltrops, good for crowd control.
Acid mortar, pretty much up every mob/every other mob.
FF Gen, always useful.
Poison Trap, see Trip Mine.
Detonator, mini-nuke.
Alpha handles just fine in our SGs teams, and believe me, they steamroller and I don't have a problem 'keeping up'. -
Quote:1) Hell no. Not until some of the complete messes that are currently passed as zones get revamped. I.E. pretty much the entirety of Paragon City and a few bits in the Rogue Isles. Paragon is currently filled with copy paste buildings in copy paste configurations that look nothing like city streets. Praetoria, on the other hand, looks awesome. The disconnect there is huge and needs to be fixed.Originally Posted by Casual_Player
In my opinion, the Gold Standard for this game is an Issue in which we get:
- A new zone with some distinctive feature or flavor
- A new or revamped enemy group to go with it
- 4 new contacts within that zone
- Each with a story that adds up to a greater whole
- Culminating in a trial or task force
2) Again, the older enemy groups badly need a content and graphics overhaul. Most of them look pretty meh nowadays, again, especially compared to the Praetorians. Hellions, Skulls, Trolls, Outcasts, Igneous, Sky Raiders, some Tsoo...the list goes on. Oh, Council and Column are bad offenders. 2D parts masquerading as 3D. Revamp > New shinies
3) Et la, the old contacts are shite. I mean it. Look through the starter contacts in Paragon. Now look at the ones in Praetoria. Even the Mercy Island contacts are better. Most of them don't even have actual arcs, just strung together, pitiful one off missions. I, as a player with only access to AE tools, spent one evening and one day and got the arc in my signature. So far it has yet to drop off 5 stars, and, in my opinion, would work a LOT better than Azuria's current missions.
Revamp > New Shinies. OR add contacts to zonesl ike Boomtown, Astoria, Perez, all the dead zones.
4) Agreed and Amen. Each zone could really use its own 'overall arc'. I.E. Independence Port should focus on the Tsoo-Family drug and turf wars.
5) Hmnn, less fond of that. I remember the Cavern Trial as being a right royal pain dans le derriere. Having a TF/Trial that tied to the overall theme would be good, but having to unlock the contact via the arcs is the same bundle of shite that I ran into when trying to form a LRSF once, and it's made of fail. Mandatory unlocks just hack people off. -

Only my second ever attempt at fire, it's hard to pull off right I tell ya I was using a reference for how it should form and all, and for colours. I think the foreground fire came out worse than the background, which looked a bit more natural.
Oh well *le shrug* Thanks =] -

Lol well I told him to make her look adorable with a hint of crazy. The butterfly was just something he felt would do it justice.
She totally reminds me of the crazy axe girls from medievil (One of the greatest campy type games ever). They giggle all playfully as they try to hack you to pieces with axes :P Then there's the old ladies with cleavers and frying pans...

I miss the old games where it didn't matter that it wasn't shiny; they had grit, gameplay and plot that would beat you over the head with the characters own severed arm. And it was awesome!

Bazoomba's!
I mean, uh, awesome artwork!
Seriously, nice piece. Love, love, love the inking, very slick and proffesional. -

Who designed and implemented the PVP in this game? Elvis?
Some suit businessman with a degree in Marketting and Product Management who's never palyed the game, more than likely. If it was all up to the Devs, we'd probably have CoX 2 by now, or something like it. -

That would be ideal.
I had great dreams of team-teleporting in with traps already out.
I would sacrifice recharge time for mobility in a game where most enemies run away from my trapper...
Profit

Quote:Yup. And the problem with being either a Rogue in Paragon or a Vigilante in the Isles is that you get treated as if your choice is INSTANTLY to be evil or a do-gooder. All the tip missions are either Hero alignment for Rogues or Villain for Vigilantes. There should be both, in my opinion, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.Originally Posted by ChaosExMachina
Aren't these are supposed to be about choice?

I'd rather it had four little spidery legs to wander around on. That'd be cool. Not Arachnos styled, just generic tech legs. I don't see it working as a hover-er like the Gun turrets or such.

I make a point of having all of my buffs use vision-offending colors and combinations.
First, it makes it easier to keep track of the buffs. And when you're on the teams I tend to play on, it's much less annoying to watch for when people are less "colorful" than keep track of one to three tiny icons in a sea of 30 stretching across my screen from the Team list.
Secondly, it lets me quickly identify the indignant churls that are not worth consorting with on Virtue.
I'm not sure wether to applaud or punch you in the face for that one =S -
Quote:Uhm...maybe because that is a rendered cinematic not linked to the game engine and it's limits? So, no, you couldn't use that.Originally Posted by srmalloy
The COV Trailer from E3 2004 has a better example, at about 1:09 in. And we can use that to dangle at the devs with calls of 'You showed it to us, why can't we do that?'...
Doesn't void the suggestion, but that is a really bad example to say 'Why cant you do this in game' is all. -
Quote:Yeah, which the devs have since said did not happen in canon. People can kvetch and try and push their personal fantasies as much as they like, but the Devs said it was retconned. End of.Originally Posted by BlueBattler
Ah, I see Denial isn't just the name of a river in Egypt.
(In the Praetorian Arc in the City of Heroes comic book, written either by Manticore the Dev-- or just input from him; I don't recall which-- even Neuron is weirded out about the relationship that Domi has with her Grandpa.) -

Most of us didn't grow up with an immortal grandfather.
And the thought of Marcus dating someone her age is probably not nearly as uncomfortable for Miss Liberty as knowing about the relationship her alternate self (who she met) has with her grandfather's double! -
Hows about a 6th bonus thats actually useful? 5% Toxic/Psi res is pretty pathetic given how good the rest of the bonuses are. Needless to say, when I get round to actually slotting any Purples, I will only be 5 slotting them.
