Thank you!!

TA

Anyone locate the names for all of the sounds for, Energy Blast: Power Bolt?

I can't seem to find the sound it makes when it "hits".

Listening to it now... very nice.

Very nice indeed!!

Edited: Samuraiko that "City of Heroes - Incarnate "video you did was very top notch. I wish the game actually had that kind of story telling "feel".

I miss it too.

But honestly, I couldn't restart it now if I wanted to. w00t Radio took 30-40 hours a week of my life to keep going, not to mention around $200.00 a month out of my pocket to pay for the servers and other crap.

I've recently got a new job that actually keeps me busy and I'm in the midst of getting married... somehow a life sprung up around me, I don't get nearly as much time to play anymore that I'd like let alone be able to devote time to keeping a radio station alive.

As folks have posted here there are alternatives. I listened to each of them after I shut down w00t, but I couldn't enjoy myself.. I kept saying "oh god they're doing that... that's so bad" or "they said what on air?" etc.

So I've started looking up alternative entertainment.. www.darkerprojects.com has been quite entertaining. They do audio drama's of 'fan fiction' style Star Trek, Doctor Who and other sci-fi. Its actually not horrid like the words 'fan fiction' tend to make most immediately think.

Well I hope you got a job as a radio DJ. I always though you did a great job with the interviews and things. Never created odd pauses or kept the guest hanging by themselves.

Honestly, I think you would go pretty far in the DJ'ing world. You are alot better then most early morning DJ's.

Best of luck to you.

Am I the only person that thinks its to easy to level already???

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, I have 7 non PL 50s now.. If it was so hard to level I would imagine I wouldnt have any.. or maybe one.

I am also baffled by the smoothing the exp thing.

I must ask this. . .do you work any time during the 24 hrs alotted in each day?

TA

I personally think Cryptic shot themselves in the foot with this one.

I mean, with CoX 2 possible coming down the pipe, a movie(maybe), and other things planned. Why would I play MUO? The only thing that would push me to play MUO is because they created CoX, breaking that bond was not a good move.

But I am Extremely pleased that CoX2 is on the table.

I don't play ICE/ tanks, but I have been around long enough to know the ABSOLUTE frustration you guys feel. I would bet, that out of the 120,000+ number of players playing CoX, 90% of them are veterans with at least Four-Five issue behind them. They know whats gimped and what isn't. This then cuts into the Alts that people really take seriously.

I would argue your numbers are way off. It's not even 90% of the forums users who are familiar with every nuance and mathematical value behind the various powersets, much less being in complete agreement about what's 'gimped' or not.

I would wager the number of players in game who are actually aware of Ice Melee's actual numbers and are convinced they're somehow gimpy is actually very few and far between. Most people who play an */Ice tank are probably quite happily zipping along doing their thing and will continue to do so until someone 'in the know' graciously informs them of how 'gimped' they are so they can be bitter as well.

I can count the number of times I have seen /ICE as a secondary on a tanker with two hands, across three servers. I am sure there are many more then that, but not like SS, Fire, EM, SM. If the majority of tankers were /ICE, /AXE, and /Mace would we still be having this discussion?

They may feel the set is just fine until they see someone else playing a different secondary, doing twice as much damage and surving or tanking just as well as they are. Once they roll another secondary they come to find out why. It would behove the devs to bring more balance across all AT's and their powersets to maxiumize retention. If I play a character for 22+ levels and still feel like its under par why would I continue with said powerset?

But, you are right, that 90% was a complete guess on my part. I still think my point stands though.


TA

Thanks, I edited it.

Edited: Been playing brutes to much, lol. Always thinking offense first.

I always think of what was done with "Healing Flames" when I think that nothing will be done with tankers. I dont think that the devs are completely done with tankers...it's just that other matters are a higher priority. Take a break if need be, but keep on tankin'.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, my problem with this is that the Devs seem to me to be taking a very piecemeal look at tankers. What we need is a good, thorough look (and I know I just heard Tundara, gWrath, and Golden_Ace groan) at the AT as a whole. Why do I think this? Because they seem to do one thing to one set, then disappear for a few months, then come back and fix one more thing, then disappear again.

So by that process, it could take a long time to get changes to all the sets I think need them. I think that if the Devs could take a look at the balance between all of the sets, and figure out what they want from the tanker AT, it would be a lot better.

Well, _Castle_ plays a Fire/Fire tanker and they finally get a buff. _Castle_ plays a Blaster, they finally get defience looked at. So maybe, if the devs played the game or AT's/Powersets in question then maybe they would see what people are talking about. Boosting a character to level 22 , 35, and 50 doesn't give you much of a feel for how the character plays from 1-50. I found this out when the test server had level bump to test RV.

I mean come on, Chain Induction for Elec Melee is still not fixed after it has been said that it needs to be fixed. I mean how damn hard is it to boost the recharge, or acc, or damage or a combo of the three attributes to a power? Tired of the FOTM PvP builds? Yeah, I am too. How about fixing the other sets so that they can be competitive as well.

I don't play /ICE tanks, but I have been around long enough to know the ABSOLUTE frustration you guys feel. I would bet, that out of the 120,000+ number of players playing CoX, 90% of them are veterans with at least Four-Five issue behind them. They know whats gimped and what isn't. This then cuts into the Alts that people really take seriously.

Devs please, TAKE SOME TIME AND FIX POWER SETS.

Edited: To make ICE/ to (/ICE)

But can I transfer from the test servers to the live servers?

They have already stated that this wouldn't be possible.

The apathy towards Villian Epics is EXTREMELY dishearting. I really hope they change their minds on the benifits it will have on CoV and the long time players.

TA

Hell I don't care what new power sets we get as long as the animations times are not long, and if they are the animation and power effect are badass to justify them. NO MORE CHAIN INDUCTION like powers either, (By the way when is this power getting fixed?). Also make it so that the attack chains has no pauses between them, ( Like how Broadsword and others have). This is extremely aggravating.
