Walk for your lives!

I'm a little weirded out by one part of my reaction to this:

Watching my various characters walk around Aeon City, walk around Pocket D, walk around inside Aeon University, walk around the docks ... I was deeply startled by how much more powerful they looked, how much more confident they looked. Like they owned the place, you know?

(Although given that it doesn't just suppress your toggles, it detoggles them all, you'd be totally nucking futs to be so (over-)confident that you'd walk around a PvP zone. Any chance of switching it from detoggling to suppression?)

Don't say that out loud, or Dr. Aeon or Recluse might get mad at you

But yeah, the walking does make us seem more connected to the scenery - I think it might be partly because it slows us down to the speed of the NPCs, who are sort of zone furniture, so it makes us seem more in sync with the zone.

EDIT: Dangit, BAB's beat me.
Castle any word on when TFs difficulty settings are gonna be fixed their my favourite part of the game

I too am happy about being able to walk the walk! Thanks for all these tweaks you guys are adding to the game.

Not sure which powers you're referring to that cause rooting, but don't really require rooting.
The Power Clear Mind was rooting me at some point ago, cant reproduce it now cause i respecced all my empath out of this power cause of the rooting.

I didnt see the necessary of rooting a player cause he cast clear mind on an other player, some team member of me died while i cast it on diff member sometimes while i casted it i died cause it blocked even using any other Power while the cast. And im 100% sure when i 1st made those chars that Clear Mind didnt root em that was changed somewhat in between maybe a year or such ago.......

Greetings

.. .wait. you respeced OUT of clear mind?

*faints*

***

edit: Okay, I just logged in a friends empath, and Clear Mind, as well as all other targeted buffs, do indeed root the player. However, this is consistent with other buff power-sets.
Thermal Radiation: Plasma Shield, Fire Shield, Forge, and Thaw all root the player
Storm: O2 Boost roots the player
Kinetics: Speed Boost and Increased Density root the player
Force Field: Deflection Shield and Insulation Shield root the player

***

Now, I can't tell you how to play. What I can tell you is that an empath without clear-mind is somewhere on the list of archtypes that I'll quit on TF's that are forming if the leader won't kick them and get somebody who has the power. You really need to respec back into clear mind.

Also, if you changed it just because one team-mate died, I'm gonna be honest, that's a horrible reason to respec out of a power. There's a reason Empath's get a rez power. Sometimes team-mates need to be rezzed. Sometimes things don't work out. Sometimes the enemies do get the better of you. That's okay, it's part of playing the game.

Can you animate away the long standing Oil Slick bug as well please. And the Cathedral of Pain, you could animate that back into working order while you're at it

Nice job on the walk animation. Not something I particularly care about one way or the other, but I know lots of people do, so nice that they can now do so.

Pah-sha-pah-wha?!? Seriously? Walking is in the game?

Stay tuned!

I can say that this was not anywhere on my list of thing I would have wanted, but I logged on to test, ooooo'd and aahhhh'd at watching my character walk.

But then I started listening to the sounds, walking across the lawn in front of the University. Then I went to Perez, walked across the grass there, and then near the stream, and a bridge, and the water...

I was just...

wow

During herocon Babs mentioned some surprise would be ready soon and posi looked at him and asked "What are you talking about?" Babs looked at him for a few seconds then posi went "Oh crap." Perhaps not a word for word recollection but I think you get the idea..

Having seen this now, I have to say that it is AMAZING! It's just difficult to describe how much of an impact something so small can have on the overall experience. Our entire game is so grand and large-scale, with us flying past everything at super speed and always rushing about. Having the ability to slow down and stroll around like we own the place is just... Amazing, there's no other way to describe it.

I'd have liked to see jumping and weapon use, but you know what? JUST walking is good enough for me. Thank you!

Actually, it feels like he's flipping you the birdie, but you're too cool to acknowledge it

Is it me, or is it really ironic that in a movie about the new walking animation in City of Heroes, all the civilians are RUNNING?

I love this! A long time coming, but I love it.

Of course, once this goes live, we're going to have City of People Walking Around for a few days.


I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

Yeah, I actually think I'm going to use that for a travel power for a while

It's a pity it can't work with toggles turned on, but oh well. I guess we won't be walking around with Rooted on.

I want this framed and stickied to the top of every 'why haven't they fixed bug X yet' thread.
