"Cincy style" also has cocoa in it. I'm *really* surprised Goetta isn't in it :S


I was of the mindset to try it once....and haven't bothered with it since.

Evil laugh would work pretty good for a transformation like that. The whole bursting into flame and laughing is a nice touch. Actually like most of the new costume change emotes. Peacebringer and WS aren't a big surprise, as it's the same thing you'll see when you switch forms right now (but it works for costume switching, too).

Anyone seen a video of the Vanguard Sigil change? Don't want to waste 100 merits if it isn't cool (and of course, it HAD to be another 100 merits... like it wasn't enough for the costume already).

*forks over credit card number to NCSoft*

You don't need to buy the Vanguard one, it's not part of a booster pack. It's on live right now, you just need 100 Vanguard merits.

[/ QUOTE ]
what he MEANT to say was that you don't need to buy it from NCSoft; instead, give your credit card number to Voodoo and he'll take care of it for you.

After playing with POPMENU and adding a DATA folder into my COH folder structure, I've noticed that the default folder for bind files (saving or loading) is the DATA folder (if it exists), not the main COH folder. On my computer, I've relocated all my bind files to "C:\Games\COH\Data" and I can load them just by typing BINDLOADFILE HERO1BINDS.TXT.

[/ QUOTE ]
That is good to know. I've had 2 dozen various bindfiles sitting in my root C:\ for the past 5 years now and *never* liked them there, but the idea of having to type out the folder structure to make them load wasn't something I wanted to do.

So this saves me 3 key presses AND cleans up my root directory

Err.... I got pulled into something. Sorry.

Welcome back. So you leave just as the troops start to move in? [censored]


You can have my levels.

Re-posting due to current changes in the MA system. It has been altered with past feedback for a little more fluidity. There are still CoT maps being used, but I've tried to limit their annoyances; these types of maps have to be used due to the story line. While the mission/story is basically the same as before, I have added a story element that I think adds to the atmosphere I'm trying for, hence the re-posting.

Arc Name: What the Vudu?!?!
Arc ID: 18911
Faction: Neutral
Creator Global/Forum Name: VoodooCompany
Difficulty Level: Medium to Hard
Synopsis: An old group has sprung up to try to take over the Circle of Thorns. Can you find out more about them and hopefully prevent them from becoming too powerful? Contains custom mobs of all varities, including 3 AVs. Set up for Levels 35+ only. The missions were created to challenge players. It is geared towards teams but is COMPLETELY soloable depending on what Difficutly level you choose.
Estimated Time to Play: 30+ minutes

Please use the *in-game feedback* or PMs if you have problems, see mistakes, are confused about something, etc.

WARNINGS:
1) There does appear to be some issue *still* with mob/goal placements; no matter the setting, there is overlap for the areas within missions deemed front/middle and middle/back. This can cause not-so-clean triggering of events. If I can find the perfect solution where it does what it's supposed to do 100% of the time, I'll gladly do it.

2) There is some kind of delay/perception issue with allies where they stall at random and won't follow for some time even if you're right there with them. The ally is not needed, and doesn't have to survive, but he is useful.


Tip: Make sure to know which mobs are more dangerous if left alone.

Chances are Viv won't be able to make it. If there is interest and the numbers (and always the chance I might be a little late), I'd like to still run through Sis Psyche tonight.

The reason you want less-used ATs for that fight is because everyone gets a set of temp powers depending on their AT.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hence the "IMO that doesn't sound more fun". Gives the impression of forcing you to use certain ATs instead of "yeah, we can do this with any mix, including your "less-used ATs". You never get my subtlety

Do all the temp powers *have* to be used? I don't know....I'm just going with impressions so far. And none of it entices me. I'm sure changes are coming "soon", so I'll probably wait unitl those are pushed through before I even try this one.

[ QUOTE ]
To be fair, Scooter, the SF sounds a lot more fun to play

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know about that. As I said last night, I've never heard the words "[insert TF name here] looking for a stalker and a dominator" before, but they did for the BSF.

That's so alien to me........I certainly can't say it sounds more fun IMO

Maybe I should PM a dev finally.

[/ QUOTE ]
By all means. Though the LGTF is now just 45+, so not sure if having these available at 40 makes sense

Also, toss in why we STILL can't have offline invites/promotion/demotion for SGs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Promotion/demotion I can agree with, but offline invites... I can imagine all the spam invites players will get.

[/ QUOTE ]
One single option to decline sg invites would take care of that IMO. We already have 3 - 4 chat options that seem redunant as it is

And once you're in an SG, you wouldn't get them anyway.

Any requests for next week?

[/ QUOTE ]
If you're taking requests.......I would vote for Sis Psyche

Was this one in the notes? I saw it mentioned in a menu command, but couldn't figure out what it was for. Didn't realize it was something unlockable. Not like it worked for me when I tried it

Will have to see it from home I guess. 100 merits is nothing; I got a few thousand lying around doing nothing. Why can't I sell/trade/give these away again?

*shrug* easier to get teams on your server to try out your arc, per chance.

I'm pretty sure he's set for life since the Magic Booster costume came into play.

Des and I are kindred, if only in spirit

Regarding the faces: I, uh, can't even tell honestly. I never paid *that* much to any of them, and I went through them all last night when trying to create a couple more mobs, and they all looked the same to me.

New sounds: ...... door annoyed me within about 5 seconds. Water, I guess, sounds different. I think I preferred the old better. And I didn't even notice any foot-step sounds being different *shrug*

Costume change emots : I read about them and went "meh". And I don't usually have costumes to switch to all that often, but I've found that I like em. At least the flip and the AWESOMENESS that is the evil laugh. Will have to make a popup menu for costume changes now just for those

Something new:
Unyielding difficulty can spawn Bosses in the +1 spawn points for a solo character (The +2 spawns are too small for this). This might be the case for tenacious too.

[/ QUOTE ]

That seems more than a little odd. That's a significant bump in difficulty, and seems unlikely to be both intentional and (intentionally) not mentioned.

Then again, the patch notes this issue were complete garbage.

[/ QUOTE ]
It is true for tenacious (2nd diff) now as well. Boss spawned by himself, but it was *nice* to see for once. Was seen in a MA mission I created where the Boss mob never spawned before while solo, even on invincible. Now I can actually test my bosses :O

IIRC, it use to be like that when they first made the difficulty and team size changes a very long time ago. I really really really really really hope it just wasn't mentioned in the patch notes.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bosses have shown up in missions ever since they fixed the spawn scaling issues in I7 or I8. It wasn't frequent and was more common for some groups than others (the Lost had a lot of Anathema and Pariah bosses all by themselves, as did Malta with their Zeus Titans), but it wasn't uncommon to see, say, a mission that was 50% Paragon Protectros (the boss kind, from Crey) or one full of nothing but Freakshow Tanks, even when solo.

This hasn't changed, though I suspect the frequency with which it is occurring may have wavered if people are noticing it now more than before.

[/ QUOTE ]
See my comment about the MA mission I created that does include bosses but *never* spawned the boss mobs while solo at *any* diff setting. I ran this thing a lot solo for testing purposes and always had to rely on others for input on the bosses who ran it with teams.

I think Zombie Man summoned it up well. Again, I'm hoping this was a bug/exploit/mistake fix and wasn't put in the patch notes by mistake.

How can Going Rogue not interest you? It's another City's worth of content!

[/ QUOTE ]
Because it's going to further stretch out the playerbase IMO. They are going to have to continue adding to the expansion at the cost of adding (as much or anything) to the hero/villain sides IMO.

Regardless, the idea of side-switching has never meant anything to me. New powersets? Great. New ATs would be better IMO.

/rant

This must be a pretty light release since there isn't a thread filled with opinions on it yet for us

Haven't done the TFs yet but the impression I've gleamed from word of mouth for either, since beta, doesn't have me chomping at the bit for them that much.

Probably won't check out the Dom changes on my one Dom but will save it for a new Dom in the near future after my current hero character. Will like to see how the slight Crab changes will play out, but that's pretty minor.

Badges that I really have no interest in getting *sigh* The loss of badges for MA stuff is meh. If they would just learn to not go so extreme in the first place.......

MA changes seem nice so far, though I kept getting mapserved while editing. Will have to see how the changes really play out if I make a new one from scratch. The two I have currently take up quite a bit less room than previously, and it's going to allow me to add to both stuff I've been wanting to do for awhile now. Now to just find the time to do that. Still don't like that I can't alter the first two attack powers, but the more-or-less customization of power selection has allowed me to tweak the characters closer to what I really want.


I16 doesn't have the feel of being chock full of stuff that I'm all that interested in either. Same with Rogue stuff. Will have to wait and see for sure I guess.
