Quote:Were I to guess, and it is somewhat uneducated on this matter, I would suspect it is to do with the fact that Kama are commonplace and well known martial weapons, and that the Scythe (as a symbol associated with death in western lore) is more exotic... and also works well with the Japanese's penchant of fusing different cultural elements (á là Bleach's use of many different languages to name things, mainly Spanish and German).Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
Odd how scythes seem to be common weapons in anime. -

You heard it here, no one gets Kheldian Sashes. Serge and Icon win and you can expect the fabric I was planing on using for them to be made in to 'Legwarmers for heads."
Well played, Thirty-Seven. I hope you are happy.
What madness have I wrought?! -
Quote:You mean normal mapping, methinks. Bump maps have been in the game for... well... forever.Originally Posted by Vyver
This. The problem with most new faces (and some costume parts) is that the devs recently discovered bump mapping and think it's the bomb. Even when it doesn't fit in with every other costume piece ever. Making every new costume/face piece look like plastic.
And I agree... the newest faces look down right bizarre in all their plasticiness. -

Wot?

What's scary, Kitsune, is your musings sound entirely plausible. I think I want the Battalion to be Nemesis now.

What I find funny is that we have here 20 something pages discussing a revamp to an ancient enemy group (Issue 0) that was a very good one (minus a certain hairstyle). In fact, I don't have any idea what the issue with the Lore is that folks are so heated about, and I'd like to think a know a good deal about Lore in general.
*shrug*
Is this anything more than a quibble re: minutiae? -
I have never seen people on a League "spam" Incandescence. As such, I have no idea why folks would. I have it for use on Keyes and TPN, but use it rarely in any other situation.
Were I to guess, I would say that folks who spam powers that annoy others do it for one of two reasons: 1) They have no idea what they are doing and think it's fun to use. 2) They really love to annoy people. -
Quote:Radiation Melee is in development as well... if comments from the Player Summit can be assumed to still be at play, anyway.Originally Posted by Shadowblaze
It is an exciting time. After Bio Armor and Psy Melee, I have no idea whats coming besides Radiation Armor.

for as good of an idea as it really is
I don't see how that could ever be a "good idea" short of an entire power set being tailored around it in order to make the fact that you have a rocket-powered stick make sense. -

Quote:That... totally misses the point I was trying to make.Originally Posted by Evil_Legacy
That is fine. I can extend the post a bit next time to make sure it's longer than the disclaimer.
Actually, no. However, I was curious about them... hence why I came in here at all.Quote:Hey, you have any experience with Fiery Aura/Titan Weapon tanks?

I for one refuse to read your threads with disclaimers on them. The dang thing is longer than the post itself in some cases.
I only look to see if any interesting responses exist in the thread. I mean, at least for those, I don't need to spend a full minute scrolling. (Yes, that is exaggeration.) -
Quote:To be clear, I went back to talking about Staff with the last part of that sentence. I really should have made a more clear delineation.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
No sillier than the current giganto-swords or demon meat axe, I'd wager.

Quote:No you don't need to.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
One of the reasons I play CoH is so I don't need to bother defining 'player skill'.
This entire thread is an excercise in thinking. In defining something that isn't really necessary. It's a diversion, nothing more. -
Quote:I wouldn't hold my breath.Originally Posted by Mad_Cow_Milk
This is too good of an opertinuty to miss, marketing wise.
So I predict that we will have a scythe weapon this October!
Yeah, a Scythe for Staff Fighting would look... really weird. Titan Weapons maybe, but smacking people with the side of the blade or tripping people with a giant blade would look very silly, IMO.Quote:Originally Posted by Bad_Influence
Can it have a Staff Weapon model? Man, the lack of cool staffs we have in this game is just.... ugh. We have NO really cool staffs. -

I thought the wikia version is unreliable and suspect?
Like this set... -
Quote:So... by that logic the folks who created all of the weapon customizations when i11 launched worked for free since there was no purchasable pack for it?Originally Posted by Scythus
Then again, you must remember weapon skins come above and beyond all the animations and mechanics for the power sets. They don't just press a button and the weapon self-renders. Someone has to make those like someone has to make the powers, and those people need to get paid for that work.
Also, let's try to keep our responses reasoned. I for one am not arguing anything like that.Quote:Originally Posted by Scythus
But "CAPITALIST PIGDOGS!" anyway, right? -
Quote:I really don't think this is a valid response to anyone who ever points out when the company crosses into "money grubbing" territory. (I don't know that I agree regarding this particular issue) but just because it is a business doesn't mean that any ploy or plan they use that might generate money is a good one.Originally Posted by Scythus
YEAH! How dare they try to make money! It's almost like they're trying to be some kind of business or something!
There really is a line, and it really can be crossed (I'm just not sure whether this particular issue crosses that line). However, it really does seem kind of ridiculous to be purposely limiting in the options that are released for free and then charge people for the other options that could have likely been released at the same time considering at least a few of them were already in use in the game already.

Make 3 other accounts, make stalkers and use them to click bombs. Won't even have to level them.
I think we have a winner. -

I non-romantically love you!
Mad, and "vaguely" happy. Zwill would just have to split out the one he likes best in like Paint or something.

Quote:You know I love you Zwill... but I was literally at the edge of my seat when Synapse was talking about Stone Armor changes... and then BAM cut off. And I don't even play Stone Armor (and the -Spd is why).Originally Posted by Zwillinger
Inorite? That guy's a jerk.

(What's amusing about this, is at first I exceeded the forum's limit for number of smiley images in a single post!) -
Quote:I agree with you a lot, it seems.Originally Posted by Mallerick
It's just a matter of perception.
BEFORE the Paragon Market, we only got new power sets during the release of SOME issues.
Now, we get power sets released with every issue, PLUS more power sets available on the Paragon market.
See, it's just a perception issue.
