There are brain devouring zombies out there and you're walking?

This is illogical. If it's pleasing a segment of the user base, it's not pointless.

No, it's gamer logic. If I don't like it and won't use it, it's a pointless waste of developer resources that could be giving me what I want. What I want changes with the wind, but the devs should be mindreaders and omniscient and know what I want before I do and already be working on it.

Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

This, except, skip the endo discount, any type of buffs etc..... allow walk to remove rooting. Imagine walking through your mission punching, shooting, stomping, blasting etc whatever is stupid enough to step in front of you. I imagine it on my Assault rifle blaster.

Slow walk into warehouse....walk down hall...smart talkin thugs come after me...slug...buckshot....keep walkin.... with this song lol:

it wouldnt work for powers like full auto or snipes mind you, but for basic attacks to have rooting removed would make for epic demo records and badass-ery.

of course, i expect this would be extremely time consuming and wouldnt work on a lot of powers, but still, I can imagine

Liberty server
Eldagore lvl 50 Inv/ss, co-founder of The Legion of Smash
3.5 servers of alts....I need help.

May the rawk be with you.

Heh, when I fly with my Halloween Coralax costume turned on she jogs/waddles through the air...

The worthless walk power (the devs really have that much time on their hands) or the never ending Halloween crap.
Either one the question remains, why?

I know that will get glossed over and 6 months from now someone here on the forums will make a statement like "Remember back when walk was crashing the mapservers" and someone else will say "Oh yeah, I remember that" and I will drop my face into my palm and die a little bit more inside.

Heeee. i like you, you make a good bad example.

Ooh! Ooh! As the poster above me shows, the Dev Digest sometimes allows you to find out when your assumptions are wrong before you post and look like a tool*.



*Stanley wouldn't use the Dev Digest, but Parsons, aka Lord Hamster, would. Stanley is less than a quarter Parsons' mass and yet he's ten times the tool. Remember kids, read the Dev Digest and you might avoid being a tool like Stanley.

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

I actually took the "destroy the servers" part to mean the Halloween event. Which is to suggest that the devs wasted their time making a "worthless" power like [Walk], and implement an event that "destroys the servers."

Of course, that's just as absurd as what you guys interpreted it to mean. So either way.

I'm kinda wondering how my simple thanks for a fun and useful power went a bit awry.

before anyone flames about how walk can NOT be useful, People that want to make CoX Music Videos or maybe even 'Fashion shows'.

Going to miss the fun and nice people here at CoH. Feel free to add me on PS3/XBox360

I rarely post on these here forums, but I just wanted to say thanks for the consideration, developers! Being able to walk may be considered unimportant and a waste of time to some, but to me, it adds a level of immersion and believability that I personally very much appreciate. So thank-you!

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Either that, or a cold shower.

Anyway, I like the male walk, I like the huge walk and I most defintely like the female walk, although it may be a bit ... sensual.

What you don't know is they spent your 30 bucks buying "I H8 VLNS" t-***** from the local Good-Guys-R-Us mart.

Am I the only one here who's perfectly willing to admit I like the female walk animation for precisely the reasons of butt wiggle and sexeh and not try to make it seem like I feel bad about it? Seriously, admitting that is what allowed me to make half my female characters

Theres a fishing emote, but no actual fishing was my point, you're reaching. Maybe you don't understand. The walking feature has been in several MMO's already, except the difference between the ability in CoH and the others, is the wait period. It's a simple action to implement, so why it took five years is the question.

It's not a WoW vs CoH thing or whatever your creating with your vivid imagination.

Errrm, what game play advantage would actual fishing be?

We don't have professions here.

The most we need is an emote. Just like Walk has no actual gameplay implications.

His point was spot on.

Now would we want professions like WoW, sure. But it can get to the back of the line like every other suggestions made AFTER Walk. Walk was requested waaaay in the BETA for COH.

So yeah.

Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!

What are day jobs, if not professions? Logging out near water could grant Fishing as a day job. Is fishing often represented in comic books as it is in many fantasy novels?

You need a heavy dose of Standard Code Rant.

You know, as much as I hate to take ANYTHING from "That Other Superhero MMO" I was VERY fond of the Acrobatics travel power. Very dynamic feel. I would love to see something similar here.
