Please use this thread to discuss the below announcement:
In Mid September we announced the addition of 2 new optional boosters: Cyborg and Jetpack. At the time, there was some understandable complaints from customers connecting to the game from Latin America, as the online PlayNC Store didn't allow purchases from that region.
I've been informed that our Sales Team, in response to these concerns, is working on making these, and other, optional purchases available via our partner in the region Level Up! Games. While they are not yet available from their store, we wanted to update those concerned with this issue that progress is being made. We anticipate more announcements to follow in October with details of how these optional addons can be obtained for that region.
Where the heck have they been keeping you?! -

I, for one, am incredibly happy the devs didn't turn the Mutant booster into an Animal booster, and instead chose to go with the sort of weird, well, mutated look that I love.
I do appreciate the Devs NOT turning the mutant pack into a furry booster set. -

In the lead-up to live, we'll definitely be talking more about the creation of the Mutant Pack. But basically, mutation's all about biological change, and we wanted to give players two distinct flavors of that and to make the parts as broadly usable as possible.
As a set, the Mutant pack gives you the abilty to make new heroes or villains to fit a fairly wide range of aestheic types: alien-corrupted, hell-spawn, genetic freak--all of that's doable with this set. And with 2 tails, wings, and sword, there's a cherry on top.
Here're some shots of the tails that you'll be getting in the next build, by the way:
Excuse me, i'm going to have to vomit violently some more. d;D
P.s. Can we have a mop for the katana and broadsword set? and grungy looking tutus? Like this!

Quote:Funny how in a previous thread you had stated you would "NEVER" turn "any" player away based on their AT. Welcome to the wonderful world of hypocrisy.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
So much this. I got it on "hard mode" but it required 4 controllers on the team. I had to turn people down from my MoLGTF because of what AT they played, and that goes against everything I stand for.
i'd thank the devs but given this would have never happened if the mitos weren't "fixed" in the first place... it's good to have a more sensible mag applied to the mitos for an 8 person TF.
As an aside, I would have been fine with the mag 53 if the lgtf were given a much higher merit reward (maybe 35 to 40 merits?). What ever happened to risk VS Reward? -

Why the sudden interest from the community in the developers improving PvP? Been noticing a lot of these threads croping up lately.

Quote:From what I've seen of the VidDoc and other pictures...the buildings look nice, nova praetoria looks very "Pretty," but I'm not getting the sense of being small compared to the vast expanses and heights of the city.

When GR comes out, be sure to tell us what you think of the new cityscapes.

Quote:Not a flame, but you should really search before posting.Originally Posted by Sunstormer
Not sure if its allowed in forum rules or not, but either way I'd like to refer people to a suggestion regarding PvP found here:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=224080
On top of this I really think Paragon Studios needs to hire a developer specifically for PvP changes. Its not a system thats easily fixed and even long running titles have minor changes every now and then to keep them balanced.
In the current system we get a bunch of changes at once, then its not looked at again for an issue or so. If it was directly someones job to work on PvP issues then there would be no excuses as to why problems cant be looked at.
Granted PvP is not a huge area of the game but most of that is simply down to a bad system in serious need of work. i13 was basically a big dump of changes on the community with very little support afterwards, PvP isnt a one fix issue, there is no wonderfix that suddenly makes things perfect and when the devs realise that they will start realising the possibilities that high end pvp has. Endless end game content being the biggest one.
Anyway, flame away
The funny thing is that the Devs have stated the interest in PvP isn't enough to warrant resources and time on improving it. Coincidently its the very changes they themselves implemented that drove away the interest.
I used to PvP competively in another game; with hundreds of other Guilds and a development team that supported PvP almost to the point of excluding the rest of the game. I don't PvP competitively in this game because it's a waste of time. I don't even consider what I do "PvPing" as I spend most of my time farming people in zones for PvP IOs.
If you are truly looking for balanced competitive PvP and a development team that cares and supports its PvP community, I would recommend another game. -

Untill you up and leave to a real PvP server (i,e not union/defiant) you don't have a say - you might aswell be going to AP and RPvP'ng the lvl 2 hellions.

The mechanic is feasible and interesting but i'm skeptical of its practicality and exploitability.
With that said, I would love to have this feature in order to increase the drop rate of certain pool recipes and salvage types. For now I'll just farm particular mobs using ouroboros. -

No he's right. Merits were almost ok because they fixed a problem with TFs being farmed for drops. Tickets are just silly.

Quote:lol, shafted how? Paragon studios delivered on what they told consumers they would receive with the prepurchase. They made consumers aware that there would be a box set with "extra" goodies as well as a free month worth of gaming.Originally Posted by Perfect_Pain
People are annoyed because they gave their hard earned cash to NCSoft as soon as it was available and they are now being shafted.
I thought that was pretty easy to figure out.
On a side note...
I wish it would have been better stuff.
If players feel like they got shafted, they are the only ones to blame. -
Quote:You are the second person that either seems; shocked, amazed or dumbfounded. I can't help but feel amused. People knew the box set would have extra goodies that the pre-purchase wouldn't have and yet they still purchased so that they could have Demon Summoning and dual pistols "Immediately." It was a great marketing tactic. I'm still taking a wait and see approach as i'm still quite skeptical when the Devs mention "lots of content." badges, to these devs mean content.Originally Posted by StrifeFox
I'm pretty much shocked that there is -so- much complaints going on about this perk for pre-ordering the game from Gamestop...

(disclaimer, I'm in the EU and so don't even get the option of these shinies, so I may not be running at a full rage/bile quotient)
People on these board have been screaming for marketing to do something, anything to promote the game.
So Marketing are now doing something to promote the game.
Cue board rage.
Whuh?
This is the sort of move from marketing I've been wanting to see. Merchandise more, promote more. It's a shame they are finally picking up their feet 2 months before the release of GR (If the date hasn't changed) atleast this is a step in the right direction.
As for those who prepurchased because they were too impatient to wait for closed beta and are now complaining about the items in the complete edition box....haha, you got baited into an obvious marketing ploy. Couldn't feel sorry for you even if I tried. -
Quote:That made me giggle. Paragon Studios marketing is literally horrible. I've come to the conclusion that despite the many nerfs to things I like and enjoy, what really made me cancel my sub has been paragon studios marketing. There seems to be a complete lack of organization and effort to promote the game.Originally Posted by RedSwitchblade
The more this argument goes into semantics, the more I think of:
That and the write-ups for praetorian signature characters, NPC groups, seem to have completely bypassed editorial review and yet remain on the site. As a fan of this game and as a consumer that WANTs to be a fan of GR..this irritates me.
Example:
There are more examples of mispelling and general bad grammar and sentence structure that I could point out.Quote:Beneath the streets of Praetoria lies a vast expanse of tunnels, maintenance corridors, underground rail lines, and water mains and pipes. This complex may be the Resistance's home, but the Resistance is not alone down there in what its members call "The Dim." -
Quote:After looking at the pic you posted I don't see the similarities in body type but I appreciate the compliment. I'll post a few other concept characters. Elegance in simplicity is what I aim for in costuming and color.Originally Posted by MondoCool
I do like the costume, and she actually looks remarkably similar in build to Nozomi (whose physique is somewhere in the range of 25-50% of the slider). Yeah, I don't know why people enjoy making these anorexic looking characters - I, for one, prefer my characters to look like they actually get some exercise.
I wish the athletic female model had slightly more muscular definition. We're playing heroes and villains here. I want my hero/villain to look as if she could hold her own in a super-powered brawl, not like a runway model or anorexic cheerleader.
An example:
-
The Green Scare
Green Scare is my favorite concept character, I'm rather proud of the costuming as well for this one. I also played quite a bit with her proportions as I grew sick and tired of seeing the same generic rail thin female model posted up on the forums. -
"Yellow"
Why? Because I'm color blind. okay that isn' true. To screw with the color blind. -

Quote:Your knowledge of breast physics astounds me... :POriginally Posted by srmalloy
The 'separation' is actually not unrealistic; if not constrained by clothing, breasts do not point 'forward' from a woman's chest; lines drawn from the center of the base of each breast out through the nipples will angle out from directly forward somewhere loosely around 30°. It is the constraints of clothing that cause them to point forward (and one of the mistakes bad artists make is to have them pointing forward without something holding them that way).
Of course, the CoX skintight costume pieces must be made with a fine mesh of braided spider silk or aramid fiber to provide sufficient support in all directions to keep female characters' breasts from Gainaxing all over the place or requiring the devs to implement Jiggle Physics. I concede that it would be nice to have a choice for each of the skintight chest parts between skin-conforming and 'real material' styles; as it is now, the only way to get that effect across the chest is to use the 'armored' upper body type, which severely restricts the available costume pieces. But that's something to throw at the art department; I think it would take a different torso mesh (the game already does it for the 'armored' upper body types, so that's not a huge issue in itself) and all of the chest symbols would need to be checked to determine whether they need to be remapped, repositioned, or redesigned to work on that mesh.
Very well stated. we need better texturing for our models and costumes.
