How about (and I've mentioned this for years), make it where you can fly up, and when you hit the top of the map, your in a new zone.....SPACE!!!! make a zone a space station. for the non flyers, make a rocketship station, like a train station in 1 zone. Or teleporter somewhere in Atlas. How about more 3 dimensional trees that the leaves actually move seperate from the trunk....and make the truck bend with the wind. With the water, make waves happen instead of a particle splash. Make the water actually react to you, along with grass and bushes. Weather. In the whole time this game has been up and running, there hasn't be any rain, thunderstorms, overcast without zombies or ritki showing up, snow falling. Throw some weather out there. Moving hair is a good idea, Tired of my guys using millions of influence on extra firm hold hair gel. It's hair, not stone. It should move. As far as costumes, I would like to address the costume creator. How about giving us more options. how about giving us more choices for the head...of course. As for the body, Can you make it more customizable. Add upper left arm, upper right are, lower left arm, lower right arm. Chest is good, but add costume selection for abdomen. Lower body, how about as for as legging, do upper left and a seperate upper right, then lower left and lower right. It will open up more costume options, and make for some interesting costumes. |
The echo from the /facepalm was mighty indeed.
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.

Great idea we can experience the joy of suffocating from lac of oxygen or better yet explosive decompression. Though they are supposed to be working on space station arias.
And so you can knock enough of them down/ burn them so that you can summon the Super Giant Monster "Smoky the Demon Were-bear."
Better yet a surf travel power. Summon up waves you can ride. Even through the city and missions. Drown friend and enemies alike. Haha
Good idea but way hard on graphics cards.
Never happen, they still haven't figured out how to do long hair.
Need a better way to sort threw all the options first. Thumbnails if the individual parts or something.
Oh and this is so the wrong thread for this sort of thing. Expect it to be moved or something.
wait, aren't flowing tails and flowing long hair part of i17? Although I imagine it's similar to anchoring a cape onto your head, of course.
It'd be kind of funny if they ever put in weather and roll it off with an invasion of thundercloud monsters from Storm Palace retinted gray. THE COMING STORM!

Its gonna be funnier when we reach PetaBytes; 24TB are a lot.
(on topic)
Yeah I was a little miffed about the sheer size of it, it took several hours to download it all at the lousy 30kB/s
(OFF topic)
All those suggestions look interesting.. but how about FIXING the skirt animations... currently we just have the shorts/pants animations copied to skirts... it DOES NOT WORK. Have you ever seen a skirt act like that offline? Really?

One side uses mind police and will "disappear" you and the other uses poison gas and bombs on civilians. Hamidon? He'll just have a tree eat you. Much simpler. If we're all going to be oppressed and/or killed by someone, it might as well be the walking trees. At least they don't speak in annoying code or doublespeak. They just devour you. |

My2x1Tb drives both report 935Gb in the OS, but 1,000,202,240,000 bytes in Properties...it is confusing and one of the manufacturers was taken to court about the issue...now I think both, or an equivalence marker, is mandatory...and on the patch...yeah I can't wait either

500g = 512,000megs "500g" = 500,000megs ~12gigs is quite a bit to lose just because they're lying about a gig really is. edit: 11.71875g if you want to be exact about it  |
Apparently not open to public yet 
damn
That's why it's called closed beta.

You are in a maze of twisty little passages
Does this mean there are updated textures as a part of Ultra Mode?
I never got the impression it was any more than "systems" like shadows and reflections, but that, to me, doesn't seem like it would need such a large patch.

The same people still play together, but if you have a better computer you can have the awesome graphics and textures 
. That would be a great way to implement such a change! Just my opinion, but it works well for them lol!
Yeah ... that's a pretty damn sizable patch 
Of course, knowing this dev team, I wouldn't be surprised if some finished art resources for Going Rogue were slipped in as well in order to make both the future pre-download and the download itself more manageable.
Still, that's gonna take a little while.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
Wait, why is everyone debating the size of a GB? I know it's 1024 MB. Either way, 876 MB is still pretty close to 1000 or 1024.

Just say no to the thought of a CoH2, really there is no need for it, unless they want to go in the past or the future, but then wait they'll just make time traveling devices.
Think of CoH: GR as CoH 3.

It's also stupidly harsh to do decently. Most devs don't think the kill your computer taxing soft body physics spreed across however many people are on screen at the same time is a worthwhile effect to bother adding....|

But heck, physix can supposedly do it... still will never happen.
I've got my stalker Artimis Setelana. She has 317 badges last I checked. Yay!
Also 2 servers worth of alts, 3 of which aren't catgirls. Mew.
And history so far has shown that MMO sequels do one thing and do it quite well - split the playerbase and weaken both games (sometimes killing one of them). I don't think you're going to see NCSoft try making Lineage III or sOE make Everquest III. Could be wrong.
And Guild Wars isn't exactly a standard MMO, before that gets cited. If anything, its an online Diablo with a multiplayer component. I'd honestly be happier if it was offline, myself.

I'll just hold off DL'ing it until Open Beta. I'd rather not be using up the bandwidth that those actually in CB need to DL the patch.
Go ahead and download it now. There's no reason not to. And this way, if/when you get into Closed Beta, you're good to go.
And if you don't make it into Closed Beta, well, you'll have more patches to download, too, since they usually have an additional 2-3 patches during Closed Beta.
Even when I'm not in, I check daily for patches. That way, when I finally have access, either through being part of a wave of Closed Beta, or the Beta going Open, I'm all ready to go!!
