Dev Chat Highlights, July 6

Moulin Rouge, not Moulan Rouge.

Cabin rule or Cottage rule?

Maybe they meant a red native-American famous person?

For some reason that made me think of the first appearance of Nox in the Wakfu animation. Admittedly the rest of the time Nox comes across as being more of a Bots/Time MM.

Said 'Cabin' meant 'Cottage'.

It's clear he subscribes to the Cottage Rule (as a Dev understands it) and that ain't changing.

CAN talk? Then SPILL IT! I WANT DETAILS!!!

Tasty, juicy details....

@Oathbound & @Oathbound Too

Um ... how is that going to effect my partner, who is a Natural MA/WP/Body Mastery Scrapper? I don't think it would be in-character for her to have electrical charges crackling around her. Isn't Energize the power where the NPCs are drained of some Endurance. Ya. Definitely *not* in character for her!

I am also wondering when Kheldian Peacebringers are going to get some really epic customization. I would love to be able to disable the graphics on some of those powers, like the resistance bubbles.

Conserve Power is getting changed in Energy Aura only.

Your friend is safe, as Conserve Power in Body Mastery is staying the same as it's always been.

No.

Big List (5/10) based on older list (5/08)
Low Hanging fruit (5/10)

It's been 3 YEARS since the first big list was made.
The low hanging fruit list was made in direct response to a comment made by a certain Lead Developer last year.

Just exactly how much of a timeframe do they really need for some of that low hanging fruit?

Words are empty and meaningless without action.

Don�t say things. What you are stands over you the while, and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary. - R.W. Emerson

I keep wishing Conserve Power would get changed to Superior Conditioning >_>

This. Though I was never disgruntled.....

well maybe a little..

I'm not some weird hockey-rioting, poutine-eating, eh-saying Canadian. How am I supposed to know how to spell things in French? </Stone Cold Steve Austin>

And Synapse called it the "Cabin Rule," which is why I have it in quotation marks.

So does that mean you're gruntled?

*ehem*

My Broadsword/Shield Defense Scrapper needs to have a word with you. I use that as a recovery tool after One with the Shield "crashes"!

eh i could live with that, though partially i'm trying to make sure that the most thematic breadth is covered by existing powersets, ones people have put significant time into and already have badged up and incarnated up rather than having to start anew. I realize that given your tournament, this statement may take on an additional level of silly, but i hate re-rolling chars i have grown attached to.

also i realize that each new powerset has to justify itself in such a way that it doesnt overpower existing things that are mechanically similar, doesnt under-preform so nobody plays it, isnt burdened with a gimmick that causes it to underpreform, as some would argue dual blades and does with stalkers, and not be totally redundant outside of a small thematic justification. I'm not adverse to a new powerset, but im always hesitant to suggest a dive back into the big bucket of mechanics when new animations would suffice. case in point, wile its a thematically cool idea, you just suggested a low damage set for scrappers and brutes..is that really something that you feel would maintain popularity and have any kind of mechanical parity with existing melee sets just because of some recharge and defense bonuses, particularly when people softcap defense now with little problems. maybe it could be figured out, but im just trying to find the fastest solution with the least amount of resources committed (besides, a third martial arts themed set in the game, all those who complain about all the sword sets would be making 30 individual threads to loudly complain )

plus on a personal note, i like mix and match animations because then i can define my character's fighting style, rather than being pigeonholed into just the default animations, that is something relatively unique to coh, and id love to see it grow.

Wow. Another one for the list of "Things-I-Was-Told-Would-Could-Never-Happen". Its turning into quite a long list

Don't tease the poor Base Builders, its cruel. They are a beaten and broken pulp as it is.

I don't think that is being planned, but the people able to answer that were not present for the ustream chat.

Triumph: White Succubus: 50 Ill/Emp/PF Snow Globe: 50 Ice/FF/Ice Strobe: 50 PB Shi Otomi: 50 Ninja/Ninjistu/GW Stalker My other characters

You do realize that they had Synapse on the chat, right? You know, one of the powers guys? To tie in with the whole Powerset Proliferation 3.0 article they released moments before the Ustream began?

You also realize that we have a good two to three months worth of Ustreams still coming down the pike as well as more things being announced and going into detail for I21, right?

And also that as far as "No new stuff to do with new powers" they've already announced the First Ward zone and the Praetorian Underground trial as well?
