Anyone heard if we are going to get a free costume repec with the release or the ablity to adjust size and features at least once for all current characters.

Maybe a tailer mission for the feature readjustment for example.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is what I have been wondering for weeks. Since red names are posting in this thread, maybe this is the place to ask. We must be allowed to adjust body type with old heroes. I'd prefer if we were given it once for free, but we definitely need the option. I've got 14 heroes across 2 different servers, and I'm not about to re-start any of them just to redesign them with new costume options.

And thanks to Megajoule for the link to the screenshots. Very informative, getting to see some of the new menus and options and how it will work. Some nice shots of the body and head sliders in there.

[/ QUOTE ]

You can see the sliders in action at gamespot, the screenshot with the different models (female/huge/male) is at the character creation screen.

but the is another screenshot from within ICON and you can play with the sliders for body parts, different sub-body models and the height.

what does Gamespot have against women with large chests ?

you know i could almost get behind a NO-ENHANCEMENTS fight option.

knock everyone down to 0 enhancements and see how they go, it could be quite fun.

[ QUOTE ]
If a group of "Heroes" are using tactics to collect large numbers of Hamidon Enhancements and thus keeping others who should rightfully be receiving the enhancements from doing so - this is considered griefing.

[/ QUOTE ] (Emphasis was mine)

I don't see the words 'trip mine' there either,

What i do see is a fairly out and out request that players report anyone/group who is using ANY tactics to grab more then their fair share of HOs.

For starters,
if you are using whatever tactics to destroy your own bud/s without impacting other people ... game on.
If you have a prior agreement with a group/person .... game on.
If your doing something away from anyone else (could be a rave for all i care) ... game on.


If you are a [censored] and attempt to nova the main group or spam trip mines around hammy expect 400 petitions with your name on it.

interesting ... the people without HOs are the elitest's ?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
are you goin to address the issue of the tripmines being used to steal the hami's ? enhancments ?

[/ QUOTE ]

This is what really confuses me... Yes people do set Trip Mines and take enhancements, but why aren't Pets mentioned? Or Burn? Or nukes (Blasters and Defenders)? Or Spines and Claw Scrappers? - I've seen each one of them steal enhancements on a regular basis, but the only that gets mentioned is Trip Mines...

Here's an idea, if you see Trip Mines down, move away from them before the buds spawn... If anything, Trip Mines are the easiest problem to deal with...

[/ QUOTE ]

Pets arnt mentioned becuase pets generate their own Bud, hence they are not taking away from the common pool.

This is the same reason that Auto Turrent is also OK, it generates its own bud.

so
if it has HPs = good
if it doesnt have HPs = bad



Also if you see trip mines being placed or novering report them, as Cuppajo has just requested.

States is off-base on his bonuses, 4 HO perma hasten proves it.

Statesman, perhaps you could host your avatar somewhere other then Photobucket?

I think the easiest way to explain it is look at my Avatar.

This is a pretty acurate depiction of PvP in CoH, with the guy in white being Pistols/Super Reflexes, and the guys in Black being Assault Rifle/Devices.

I kid, I kid

lol

I asked about Pistols ... power sets. Statesman confirmed "yup", so they're comming.

[/ QUOTE ]

Was this in referrence to scrappers at all?

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, yes it was.

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay so thats like 5 confirmations for Scrapper pistols. Im sure blasters will accept it soon.

A new tutorial is launched, the first mission being, "Go. hunt. Kill Skuls"

[ QUOTE ]
Wait, we were allowed to make suggestions?

Ok I would also like the ability to 'undock' each power tray as well as the ability to display the tray vertically rather than horizontally (so I can put it on the right side of the screen, instead of along the bottom). Actually I would like to see this last with the enhancement tray as well, and maybe even the tray with HP, xp and end

[/ QUOTE ]

It would be great if we could change the powers bar to a verticle orientation, the same goes for the health bar.

i hate to say it, but you should add Alliance chat in there for 4.

also "a new non-epic AT" for the possible list

not sure if theres going to be SPIDER villian group, the council is a part of SPIDER, i think its more of a Meta-group.

Couple of things...

We're fixing the DE spawns in Eden so no more 41's with 30's.

And we're making a few changes to make Shadow Shard and Crash Site more accessible. For instance - putting a teleporter in Peregrine Island so that player 40's can get to and from easily.

[/ QUOTE ]

Didn't Ravenstorm say a few months ago that the DE lvl41 in spawns was gonna be fixed but that never happened, same with Jurassik spawning in CF where you guys acknowledged the bug, said a fix was coming then it never happened.

And quick question, when can we expect these changes? Update 4 or sometime soon because those 2 changes are really needed for the 30/40 crowd.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ravenstorm was commenting on another bug related to the spawns there, so they fixed 1 bug but still had another that made the mods unfightable.

they should set fire base zulu up as a transport hub, allowing the gate there to 'dial out' to different zones in our dimension.

It figures since firebase zula, is the alpha base for humans in other dimensions it would have links throughout earth.

firebase zulu ->
Perigrine
Ritki Crashsite
Hive
Founders
Atlas Park (capital)
Steel canyon (other transport hub)

other suggestions,

* Ferry terminal in Founders (perigrine to founders and back ... so many times) it already has a sea gate.
* Someone should burn a path through eden for superspeeders (make a story up about a firetanker or something)
* IP ferrry terminals (founders, perigrine, striga, talos)

[ QUOTE ]
This thread is great and all, but what happened to the Arena?
Seriously.

, but he did say in an interview that it would be in before CoV.

[/ QUOTE ]

um is that COV that isnt even close to beta yet?

the arena is in construction, states has said he hoped to get it in #4, even if it slips to #6 it will still beat COV.

theres no rush here people.

[ QUOTE ]
Most likely the "cards" will be basically a new set of inspirations designed to aid your roll with the skill in question.

[/ QUOTE ]

good guess :-)

Card LatestIntelligence
+1 on Detective or Scholarship Checks

Card Determination
Using this skill will give the player another random skill.

Card MomentOfBrilliance
Worth 4 - 7 on Communication or Detective Checks

[ QUOTE ]
please tell me you have real sources for this card game crap. states has said, "what do heroes do besides fighting?" and it sure as heck isn't play yugioh...

[/ QUOTE ]

| bin.pigg
|-> Decks.pigg
|-> Cards.pigg

what do heroes do besides fighting?
they:
Are Scholars
Are Detectives
Are Scientists/inventors
Are Journalists/photographers

im sure more will be added down the line, the question is how to you represent those career paths without making for some boring activities. Do you want to make it like other crafting where you watch a progress bar while you 'do your job' ?

or do you make a mini game that characters can draw from while on a mission? having trouble finding that last glowie? dont worry HEROX is a highly skilled Detective he will find it in no time.

some more stuff i have read leads me to beleive you will be able to interact with freed civies, and interrogate defeated villians.

i imagine its like a quick mini-game that scales against your skills, not a full-blown Magic the gathering tournament.

its a good idea, and far better then watching a 'hacking' progress bar while it does a skill check. it also allows a skilled player to operate *above* their skill level.

[ QUOTE ]
Wait wait what? Evidence please.

[/ QUOTE ]

looks ALOT like its all card based, which is great, should be very entertaining.

SSOCOS ( or whatever) what is that?, and areans. For PvP????

[/ QUOTE ]

SSOCOS is the Super Secret Out of Combat system coming in #4, the CoH interpretation of crafting.

From what i can see it is going to be a card based system ... maybe something along the lines of Magic the Gathering???

looks very interesting.

Hey guys try to keep this in mind.

For every V.I.P badge you see out there, the sooner Venom/Poison damage makes it into the game ... then no more untyped damage! (more $$$ for dev time) so in a way you are correct.

although you just know deep down that the moment they finaly put poison damage in, they are going to make something new like "Cosmic" damage and thats going to be the new 'untyped'.

[ QUOTE ]
The problem with off-line characters being present in the base is what happens if the base is raided (by players or possibly PvE, who knows)? Do you really want to come back on and find out your hero was defeated while you were away?

Servants on the other hand is an interesting idea.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was always under the impression that there will be no drawback to being defeated in PvP. even if there is there should not be in this case because the player is in fact a 'npc'.

after the last 'invader' leaves the player is auto rezzed, and starts cleaning up the joint.

no harm no fowl.

if the player logs in during the middle of a raid, the character fades out (like after a quit) then fades in where ever they log in at.

strut , a full on pimp strut, great for walking away from a pvp battle.

breakandenter , you pull out a chisel and start working on that door.
