Further Quality of Life Improvements

PRAF68_EU · 08-30-2008 10:01 AM

Not a personal insult. examples of personal insult = "you are stupid" or "stop being an A S S".

The swords are stupid in that they simply wouldn't do the job they are supposed to. The Mona Lisa is beautiful, but it would make a stupid weapon.

I really should do something about this signature.

Gr's Gonna come and kick A** again if we are not careful, I ask again when did the Red Names change the title of this thread to 'discuss other peoples view of a QOL improvement'

[/ QUOTE ]
Alphane, if it's wrong to discuss other people's views, presumably it's doubly wrong to discuss discussing other people's views, and you shouldn't have made your post (instead, presumably, you should just have flagged the other posts for GR's attention).

On the other hand, if you think it's OK to discuss discussing other people's views then they must be OK to start their discussions in the first place, so there's no reason for you to discuss whether they're OK.

That got everything covered?

(And, FWIW and IMHO, politely pointing out when others' posts are clearly off topic - like a bunch of new costume requests in a QoL thread - isn't unreasonable.)

One day a dev might actually have to read this thread and assimalate the suggestions from it just trying to save them a little time and effort.

I don't know if anyone else has this problem or if it's just me: The Location AoE targeting thing is extremely difficult to see in the middle of the chaos in larger teams. Sometimes I end up missing my Lightning Rod because I have no idea where the targeter actually is. Would love to see it get a more visible visual effect, or an option for a more visible in-game mouse cursor.

if the reason of the lag of good looking swords is because it's a super hero game, then why is the frikin power set in the game on the first place?

[/ QUOTE ]

There are plenty of good swords. Your list is of stupid looking swords. Learn the difference.

This is a superhero game. It is not an anime game or a manga game. If you want something like that play a game written in Asia, where stupid swords are part of thier culture.

I don't think you can really say that.

I mean, have you ever tried to use the Mona Lisa as a weapon? It might be awesome!

@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.

I'd imagine it would have a 50% chance for a mag 100 confuse. The foes would fight amongst themselves over their knowledge of the arts

maybe a fun dark melee skill, the mona lisa fear stare.

but to continue the topic at hand, i'll show what i mean all the time with making energy blast realy look like an energy blast instead of a cos-over of energy and water.
this is energy:

this is water:

please make energy blast actually look like energy, like removing the bubbles.

As you have been told before, requests for graphic changes are not QoL.

I really should do something about this signature.

After so many ignored hints, Praf, I'd say sorudo's going to post whatever he/she wants regardless. At this point we might as well stand back and let GR disregard/reply to/remove the costumey posts as he sees fit.

I couldn't do better than this, and as that doesn't seem to have made any impact on you I don't think I'll waste the effort.

QOL means Quality of Life - it's almost always something to do with improving the way the game is played for all the players - usually small things that make the players lives easier, like letting us craft new Inspirations by combining three other Inspirations, or making the chat channels work better.
It's about changing the way the game works, so for example, adding new costume parts or weapons doesn't count, because that doesn't actually change the way the game works - but adding a new train station to Foudners Falls to make it easier to get to that zone does count, because it improves the game by making it simpler to access the zone.
If you ask for new costume parts or weapons, that's a request for more content - but if you ask for more space to write character bios, or a way to transfer Inf between characters without having to get someone to help you, then that's a request for a QOL improvment.

in that case, one or 2 letters more space for character names.
o and might i suggest a better fast run animation, the current one look so weird while using super speed....like you're a stuffed animal.

Golden Girl · 08-31-2008 07:53 PM

The character name one is fine, but the Super Speed one is to do with looks rather than the way the game is played, so that's the sort of suggestion that would be better on a costume thread

When you change costumes your bio changes with it to one you have already assigned to it, if not your default bio is used.
A characters feel/evolution is changed when it has a differnet costume and as such should have an evolving bio too. People like myself use the costume slots to show a characters life.

For example cossie slot 1 will be just the basic streetfighting type trying to make a name for himself with his bio stating his upbringing/motivation/goals etc.
By the time costume 4/5 comes around you can physically see that he has attained the stature of a true hero OR is thinking of going back to normal life. We should be able to have our bios to reflect on this.

Also i like the idea earlier when someone said being able to change the costume we see on the character select screen.

Upto 8 enhancement slots per power so you can actually slot 2 IO's of each type Acc,Dmg,Rchg,End for most powers

Statesman_4_Prez · 09-01-2008 11:18 AM

More mastermind commands, like 'Ranged Assault' 'Melee Assault' and 'Tactical Assault'

and a formation Icon so you can choose what form they stand in, like a line or a circle.

A total of 14 of my nerves have been harmed in the making of this post...

youganite · 09-01-2008 01:43 PM

dunno if this is QOL but, maybe a better face detail?
o, and a bunny.....NO wait....statesman with his bunny

Wouldnt that make a lot of powers heavily overpowered?
5 slots atm is imo perfect. For the majority of attacks its a simple matter of which do i prioritise?
Damage? Accuracy? endurance reduction? Recharge? ATM you can easily get two of the four up to (or close) 100% enhanced . . . . but at a loss for the other features which is how it should be.
With the 8 slots you could have all powers costing next to no endurance,recharged in half the time (min), do max damage and almost always hit.

/unsigned personally, we need drawbacks/weaknesses in our characters otherwise we'ld be back to the days of tankmages.

They'd have to redesign all the IO sets then - they're made for a maximum of 6 slots only - that'd be an awful lot of work for them.
