I thought this might be a fun thread to start, so I'm starting it

First, my rather effortless contributions (I'll actually try for some good ones in the future ):

Now the explanation...

For the past I don't know how long, months, maybe over a year, I've been trying to raise a sort of CoX community awareness with walking. I don't know how many level 50's I've met that never knew it was possible to walk. So now, I feel this is a good and fun way to show off what is possible as far as walking goes within the current game build.

To walk: Simply tap the forward key (W by default) very rapidly to get your character moving slowly and consistently. NOTE: YOU will look as if you are doing a sort of twitching, BUT *everyone else* will see you walking. It is a bit tricky, so have a friend tell you if you're getting it right or not so you can change up your tapping a bit.

As for the purposes of this thread, you will need to first teach and encourage others to walk, then take screenshots of them with the Print Screen button while they're in the act!! (This will also help to spread community awareness )

To host images: Go to http://www.imageshack.us/ and click browse to upload CoX screens from your C:/Program Files/CoH/screenshots directory.

Let's see what awesome sorts of walking pics you guys can make!! I want to see drama! I want to see compelling scenery! I want to see a defying hero walk confidently into hordes of villains and vice versa!!! Bring them on!!!

And PS- ...maybe I kinda sorta hope that once enough people realize how cool walking can be, the dev's will feel a bit more of a fire burning under their bums to get 'em moving on a solution At least to making it so you can see YOURSELF walk as well as everyone else can see you doing it!

I like to Jump into the fray. Hence, many of my Alts have CJ. And it saves wear on my nails.

Why did I think you were gonna make a video with all the Walkers using "Staying Alive" as the soundtrack? nvm... gonna try walking.

Small problem: anyone with a fast enough connection won't see the walking; they'll just see people that look like they're... well, tapping the forward key a lot. Me, for example. I know plenty of times where people have tried just this sort of thing around me, and the only reason I know that people were trying to walk, were by the comments.

They probably tapping too fast then Got to get a nice even steady pattern and not just mad taptaptaptaptaptaptaptap

Lies!

Yea Archimedes I'm almost positive that isn't the case. My connection to the web is about as fast as you can get. If others are seeing someone do it, you should be able to see it to. Maybe the person wasn't actually doing it right?

And Aerones, cliickkk the screeensss!!

Those were obviously photomanipulated.

There's probably a hidden '/walk' emote that no one has dug up yet.

I was doing this the other day, but I had to go in a circle to make it work.

 

Posted

You mean *others* only noticed you walking when you were going in a circle?

 

Posted

...you really don't believe me?? Lol dude just get a friend, or even a few friends, to try it for you. GUARANTEE you'll see them walking, even if they don't know what they're doing and only get it off 'briefly'.

Trust me, there's no photomanipulation going on there besides me uploading from my CoH directory to imageshack and linking it lol

Dude, I am so just messin' with ya.

I've seen it happen on occasion. I just never got any screenshots of it.

 

Posted

Photomanipulation hard, demomanipulation very very easy.

 

Posted

Just...sigh...I don't lol

Come on guys, just mention to someone to try walking, keep your eye on them, and hit that screenshot button! I think we can all pull together some amazing screenshots of this sexual animation

There are no skeptics. I'm just being a dick.



Edit:

<.<
...how in the world did that make it through the filter?

Seen the trick - and it does look like epilepsy on certain connections. I'm just still curious why they haven't added an official walk emote. We can turn into pumpkins but we can't walk. It's quite silly.

Redeemer: post screenshots with the UI on. You can't display the UI when demoplaying so that should shut skeptics up.

Will do (next time I'm in game) And yes I know, shirtless man, but I will anyway

As for the user above me, I concur, but see here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showf...c=#Post7651294
