More Auras

More choice is good!

Remove MA buildings from starter zones. As I suggested already. That way new players don't think thats the only way to play the game.
To the original suggestion /unsigned here, sorry.

Viva la France =]
L'Alps cetait magnifique. Viva la ski ^^

Maybe diff 3+ then. -shrug-

Yeah, that's not a good update. Especially for level 2. I assume it's a bug rather than some anti-farming measure. Sure a lot of MA farms WANT extra / all bosses.

[/ QUOTE ]

I hope its WAI. Im damn sure thats what happens in normal missions. You dont get bosses at diff 1, but do further up the ladder. In the past, and sadly, no bosses were spawning, which sucked badly. Now, hopefully, that's fixed.

I think even back pieces like the Vanguard "v" details would be good, but yes, scabbards and the like are a must-have on the list of back details to add in my book

[/ QUOTE ]

Gief noaw pleeeeassee

Yes, my Vanguard Colonel has every bit of Vanguard kit bar that back detail. Annoying much.

OHGODTHERATS

Or rathermore, ohgodthetypos >.<

And yes, I empathise with those who were left serverless, although I won't apologise for the morons on Union and Deviant. I would happily take them to the cleaners in the arena, however
Sadly, you get morons everywhere. Im glad the servers are up again =]

Well to be honest i cant really think of a better time frame to do this for us EU players, this is actually affecting the US side of things a LOT more than it would us.

[/ QUOTE ]

There was some internal discussion whether we should have deployed the 19.20090619.5T2 build to the EU servers at the same time as it was deployed to the North American servers....but we recognized that since EU was entering prime-time hours, that disruption to all EU customers with 30 minutes of warning was unacceptable.

The compromise was to push back the publish of 19.20090619.5T2 to 12 midnight (past EU peak time), and within operational development hours of Paragon Studios so that in the event of any other issues on Vigilance or Zukunft, we had time to address them before Thursday EU Prime-time.

[/ QUOTE ]

I approve heavily of this logic and applied thought.

[ QUOTE ][*]Please note that Tiger is not an officially supported Operating System for City of Heroes, and that when Snow Leopard launches, users using OS X Tiger may not be able to run City of Heroes.

[/ QUOTE ]

Pardon?! wait is this a serious "slip in there under the radar to cover our [censored] thing"?... Considering i have no other option but to play it on a mac at the mo this puts me in a slightly worrying position. I hope its not a foresight either and if it is, something is being done to organise testing the compatibility. I'll be willing to give feedback too but ...

Perhaps it would be a good idea to post it somewhere like the mac forum bring more attention to the fact that suddenly you might not be able to play (and get flooding posts in the tech forums)

[/ QUOTE ]

You're serious?

...

They names an OS 'Tiger' ?!?
Pfftttahahahaha!
Even if its a joke, that made my day

I16 will be a major Issue, even if it has only power customization in it and nothing else - it's a feature that's been asked for over and over again by many players for a very long time, but it was such a huge project that the devs just didn't have the resources to do it until now, so it'd be extremely ungrateful to just say "is that it?" if I16 is just power customization.
It's like I14 - the MA was an enormous amount of work to create, even if a lot of the work wasn't seen by the players.

[/ QUOTE ]
And like MA I'm guessing I16 may have a longer-than-usual run in test. Better than the alternative of game-breaking bugs in customisation, but I can already sense some people getting restless...

It's the weather people get cranky in Summer.

I thought we got a 'Comments' thing, now? Or does the author not see the comments page?
Or, actually, does it send the message to 'comments', which is then relayed via tell to the player?
-Confused-

[ QUOTE ]
True. It'd be realy nice if they'd hire some with more sympathy towards us roleplayers when we're griefed but hey, ideal world, no?

[/ QUOTE ]

Gizzajob?

Focus solely on Vanguard Merits
Thats what I was fixated on with my Sword/Shield scrapper, who I wanted to look like a Vanguard Colonel, hence needing all the kit. I got so fiated on the merits that was level 40 without realising it.
It does help that Sword/Shield by that level is ludicrously fun to play Make sure you enjoy the character is the first guideline. And, being a roleplayer, I choose missions that would make sense, and they tend to turn out in interesting ways.

Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise

I would suggest some form of compensation...
Except no force on this earth or any other is going to stop me from going back there and handing the glowy-eyed fascist F-er his a$$ on a laser scorched platter.
Let's roll!

Yup! Same reason our SF failed two days ago, thank you Devs!
Do they USE Test for this sort of stuff, I ask? I woulda thought soemthing like this was pretty damn important...

I thought someone was missing =P

God...seeing as they give you NO time between getting all those powers, and having to duke it with Mr d00mhammer, they should give you time to actually see what they all do.

And, I can tell you now, that MM power doesnt work, or didnt for me. Maybe sheer bloody bad luck, but really, REALLY annoying.

Not redside, anyway. MM power for Reichs doesnt work. So, unless you have a full complement of shivans, nukes, the works, you will probably fail.

I'll see what happened with that.

It's probably still sat in the GM logs, Avatea. sent for help, got none.

I like this one, somehow that dust trial in the sky was always bugging me.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's also the second time they've "fixed" it...

[/ QUOTE ]

Since when has that been something we don't expect?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I would be a lot more excited if;
1.) Riechsman didnt turn immortal in the last mish, meaning we had to abort. IS the MM temp power working? Apparently the US side reported that a LOT. And its STILL in live? Im sorry, does BETA testing actually DO anything these days?

2.) Would help if petitioning actually worked, for said problem. Petitioned, no response, hence the abort.

3.) If reported trolling actually got dealt with in a certain thread, which is being ignored right now, it seems.

Im sorry, the weather is making me irate, but maybe a litte irateness is called for to get stuff done around here?

[/ QUOTE ]It is hard but doable you just have to use the temp power at the right time and not all throw it at him in one go completed this on test without to many problems

[/ QUOTE ]

The power that is supposed to break his Unaffectable phase, right? Well, used it when he went Immortal, 'Unaffected', same as everything else. Dull pain/mass regen later, we're back to wailing on him until he does it again. And again. Id infinatum.

Well, I'm glad ya not the only one who ran into mass problems with the villainside one.
Team makeup;

SS/WP (Or invul) Brute
DB/WP Brute
Bots/Traps MM
Plant/Thorns Dom
Fire/fire Dom
Thugs/Dark MM

Now, at least 3 of those players are the sort that make Rommy, States anmd Recluse weep, and have done so. In the end, we just gave up.
We got to his 'Immortal' satage, where everything is unaffected, the MM power which is supposed to break that didnt work, and so we simply couldnt damage him. Given we dropped a few nukes, three shivans and even a blooming HVAS, that kinda sucks.

Whats with the glowy in the laser room? Does Mako actually do anything useful? Or do you need a stalker on the team?
Oh, and I hope the ambushes are meant to only be two waves. We had about twenty. Big waves. That hounded us all the way to the entrance.

Nice enough video, but I really hope that they have fixed the flag texture between the video being made and live... I am sure I will not be the only one annoyed at my country's flag being wrong...

[/ QUOTE ]

I hope they have fixed it (alledgedly it was fixed on test but i can't confirm) as I am actually proud of my nationality!

Flag is fixed.
