Quote:You have the option. All the time or combat for the Alpha and Omega auras.Originally Posted by Diggis
Out of curiosity, are the Combat Auras the old Aura's set to only activate in combat? I haven't played with them in a while, but if so, sweet! -
It's too bad they limit the Q&A times. People went a long way and didn't seem to get a ton of time to chat game with the devs.
They never really mentioned if we actually get that NPC costume set...I assume it was said at a point and I missed it. Really liking that gear.
I was hoping the devs might let us know what's in store for the game over the next year. They used to but ah well. Would have been cool to see if they were thinking of doing another box expansion.
It seems like they sure brushed over the Mission Architect system. That thing needs something special. A ton of work went into that and it seems to be going downhill. I think it'd still be cool if they had those contests and the rewards would be to turn your mission into canon and put it into the game(paper and radios maybe). That would certainly boost interest. -
I19 looks like it might be amazing. It has been a long time since we've had a good issue with lots of stuff (this might be i12 calibre - the best issue IMO during my time here).
I am also glad to see they are looking at new mission play styles like the zone event. We have so many arcs and missions where the play style/mechanic is the same, we really don't need anything added to them. It's nice to get some new ones (arcs, radios, papers etc) but I would prefer something new and original for playstyle/mechanics. Continuing to evolve the game is critical and I think War Witch might be thinking the same.

Quote:Gotcha! I am sure they're enjoying other aspects of the Con as well. I just wasn't sure on the times etc.Originally Posted by Goliath Bird Eater
Yep, there was. Ran from 2:45 to 3:45 EST. The lack of forum and Twitter activity related to it suggests that nobody there was live-blogging it on a smartphone; guess we'll have to wait for those attending to get back to their hotel rooms before we hear anything. :/
I am curious to hear about what they are doing with the game for the next year or so. Also wondering if they might try another expansion box. -
Is there a panel on Sat.? Any info on the game's future etc?

Because it doesn't suck anymore? While the other Phalanx TFs still do?
I heard a room full of retarded monkies .....wait...that might be too harsh....

Quote:Well that's kinda my beef with the game. Most of the adds are same old same old. Time to add some very different elements to the game. It needs to evolve.Originally Posted by Bubbawheat
Not really any new tech in this issue, just more. Possibly some new tech in the new TFs, and the Alpha slot might be changed from GR beta. Everything else is just more. Very awesome more, but just more.
-
I just hope they give us some info on what we can expect in the next year from CoH. And by this I don't mean them telling us something BIG(tm) is coming SOON (tm). Give us some details. New power set within a year? New AT within a year? Will there be another boxed expansion ever?
Given the recent layoffs, I wonder how that will effect future issues. Personally, I think the last good issue was i12 so maybe it won't be a negative. -
I kinda like what the OP has to say. I would like to see actual costume pieces added. The ones added for free have been underwhelming.
The Booster Packs have pretty much done in free costume pieces, IMO. These boosters have been a bit weak at times. However, many bought these and that tells NC Soft that there is money to be made. I can see why free costume pieces have been few and far between (I mean actual costume pieces).
It'd be nice if the boosters were priced a bit better but ah well. $10 is a bit much when you look at some packs in the store. -
This is one of the few shows I try to follow. So much potential but they just miss the mark. The formula/layout of most episodes is the same and somewhat predictable. They should give us a bit more per episode...it seems the significant event is always going to be next week and when they finally have to get the big event in...it isn't so big. Like the season finale from 9 to 10; the Kandorians are done now? Just like that they are out? I thought there might be more to it and to leave season 9 like that? The season 10 opener may have been a better season 9 finale with the coming of Darkseid hint.

Not sure if these two have been noted but they are awesome:
Van Halen - For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
Pearl Jam - Ten
Led Zeppelin - IV -

Dr. Aeon,
I have to agree with some of the other negative posters here. I understand that you're trying to improve and increase traffic to/in the AE, but I believe that the AE and its customers would be better served by your taking a number of other actions instead.
1) Running a script to delete the copious amount of plainly titled farm arcs.
2) Look through and fix the DC arcs that your previous patches have broken.
3) Lower the number of plays necessary to get into the Hall of Fame, and once there, have the arc remain locked in the HoF for a minimum amount of time so as to prevent griefers from bouncing it right back out.
4) STOP BREAKING ARCS every time you guys patch the AE to fix yet another one of the exploits that we warned you about in beta but you refused to listen to us and fix back then.
While I do have a free AE slot, I also will not be entering this contest. I am not interested in participating in this until the devs listen to us and start fixing the AE the way we've been asking you to since it first went live.
Take care doctor.

AE is a great tool but it's just not for me anymore. Many reasons are noted above.
I filled my slots with story driven arcs but each patch breaks them. I can't be bothered fixing them until the next patch.
I really think the devs have let this feature deteriorate and it shows. AE is full of rubbish missions and farms. Also some of the highly played or highly rated ones are junk as well - no doubt 'PLed' to that status. My opinion here, of course.
So, what could motivate people to partake in such a contest? Have the same contest and the top 10 submissions are turned into radio or newspaper missions. That's it. That's the prize (oh, and freeing up that AE slot too). The regular radio/paper missions are the definition of quantity over quality so why not allow some carefully crafted submissions get into the game. These types of 'promises' were made a while ago when we were told some of our stories may become canon.
I think if you did this contest every 6 months then you would get some huge interest in AE. 5 paper missions and 5 radios every 6 months. How about it?

Would love to see something techy/modern looking with mace options. The tech mace looks like something I could make using twigs, duct tape, paper and candles.
I think the lack of cool looking maces might be the reason I could never stick with that power set
-
I bid 400 quatloos!
-
Ok so in regards to updating stuff, I really think some of the weapons could stand some updating. Lots of cool swords options; axe has some cool options and unlocks...I would like to request some additions to the rifle and mace section. Mace really is limited in a way especially if you prefer tech looking toons.
-
I think War Witch is to thank for the merge. I'd love to say what I think about all those that were against the merge but then I'd get banned from here.

Five years of oxygen (or whatever the heck he breathes naturally when not powered by our sun), food, water, all in what is an escape pod.
I know I'm digging a little far on what's supposed to just be fun, but even comic movies shouldn't test the limits of my suspension of disbelief this far.
Your disbelief suspended by the ship issue?! Really?! You do realize you're talking about super hero movies here. You take no issue with the man being able to fly etc but you take issue with his ship?! He could have modified it! He could have made stops along the way! Yikes. NEXT! -
I hope it's significant additions to the end game aspect. Incarnate stuff and entirely different systems. Way overdue. I just hope it's actual stuff to do and not just game mechanics/systems; that would suck.
I think we had a long while of systems, QoL and other 'fluff'. Sure they make the game better but I want stuff to do. Original, unique stuff. The end game needs to be completely different than anything we do en route to level 50
-
I don't want to see proliferation. I want to see new powersets - I heard a staff set was coming. Would also love to see a power armour set.

I like having unique names so when you go to a server you know there is only one toon with that name. I also hate all the awful versions of names.
Tough situation but I think the CoH powers should release more names from people that haven't been on for an extended period. The game is over 6 years old now. Release every name on an account that has not logged in for 4+ years. Perhaps exempt toons over level 40 and leave those in check. Anything under should have the name released.
Send out an email to all old and new account holders. Maybe note all names meeting the criteria will be released as of Dec. 1, 2010. The current naming system stays in place. Just an idea.
I think that will release a lot of good names. It would be great for us and all the new players to get a crack at some cool names that were taken long before we got here. -
I am for option 2. Keep both versions. Some old versions could be critical to the theme of a toon. I don't think it's right to just remove pieces. They may seem dated but that term can be subjective...some people may enjoy them.
I was rather annoyed with the upgrade to the tech pieces and how they now look out of place with so many costumes I made. I've removed all of these 'clashing' pieces and tried to make them more 'uniform' by substituting the tech piece for a non-tech piece. -
[QUOTE=GKaiser;3183537]I checked on my account. If it's just for totally new accounts, I have no way of verifying that.
I do know this: NO part of my review deals with tutorials or is specific to level 1-20 other than not having 3 bank slots and 3 salvage slots. That is still true, as is most leveling takes place outside that new zone.
Someone said earlier that had I mentioned Going Rogue, it would have consumed 1 minute of time. That's probably true and all I'd have said is that there is an alignment system that lets you become a hero or a villain.
Doesn't change anything I disliked about the game.
Quote:It's not an insult. It's a factOriginally Posted by TheJazMan
Nope. And if you're gonna come up with insults you should at least come up with some decent ones.
Also, another post noted you may have been beyond the level of some of those events (some of them are level specific). Gee. Another basic element you missed. Shocking.
I also don't get your gripe about salvage slots for low levels. You don't need that stuff at low levels. A non-issue for most. It'd be better to have more slots but I could care less.
Again, Mr. P.S., you failed.
When did you look for teams at 6-8 CST? Which server? Some of them used to be dead but not anymore. I play on Virtue and never have an issue teaming.
Anyway, I don't think you've learned much here and just have no idea what you're doing. Good luck with whatever you do. -
[QUOTE=GKaiser;3183529]Quote:Mr. P.S., maybe your XP was turned off?Originally Posted by TheJazMan
Mr. P.S. How clever you must be.
I tried the Troll Rave, Ghost Ship and something involving circle of thorns, I think. Noticed I wasn't getting any xp so I left, because I really don't care about badges. -
Quote:Mr. P.S., could you please tell me which game(s) you find, overall, superior to CoH? I'd love to try 'em!Originally Posted by GKaiser
Samuel I did not power level and I got to 50 in that amount of time. Do not for a minute believe I spent 7 hours every day leveling, because that is impossible given the population level of the game. 7 hours playing (including all the goofing off and jerking around with the AE stuff). I did not plot out my leveling path; I simply did whatever missions people in a party had available.
The average MMORPG player is not going to spend weeks getting to level 20. And given you believe all new players start in the new zone (totally false, I just checked) I'm less likely to believe your whole, "I'm a super knowledgeable veteran player" thing.
What is funny is that it doesn't even matter what was released because, again, it has no bearing whatsoever on my criticisms. Going from 1 to 50 is boring as hell. The endgame content is not on par with endgame content expected in MMORPGs today. The PVP content is extremely lacking. There is weird design elements like the extremely limited inventory space. -
[QUOTE=GKaiser;3183516]Quote:Mr. P.S., could you please tell me which zone event does not give you XP? I have yet to find it! Perhaps it will be the Moby Dick to my Capt. Ahab?! Ya ever been to sea, Mr. P.S.?!Originally Posted by Siolfir
It's not in the game and no one knows what the hell they are actually releasing.
18 minute task force that gives merit rewards. Strategy involves destroying some objects and then engaging the archvillain HP pinata. For merit rewards, like every one task force. To get rewards you dont need merit rewards to get and ultimately just give you inventor origins so you can do....well, certainly not PVP much since hardly anyone PVPs, so I guess solo arch villains for money I might spend should anything ever be added to the game that requires as much influence as the cap?
Other events I tried doing did not give xp, so I stopped bothering. Now, that doesn't change I don't really care about some zone event that I basically need to wait around for to trigger and has rewards I'm not terribly interested in to begin with.
