Nalrok's Really Fast Coffee Talk Writeup

I saw one once!
My OCD friend bought it along with the game back in the day.

Motivation: PBAOE +Stat Protection, click with long recharge thats unable to be perma'd.

Same here. I read his copy.
Sometimes I think of it and giggle. (Faultline Dam Trial!)

the book one and the binder. for what its worth, it was nice having the backgrounds of enemies right there, and, the glowing write up they gave martial arts was one reason i decided to give the game a go(though in retrospect they did oversell it a bit, but it got better), so it got coh at least one long timer.

Some sort of PBAOE click buff seems like the most probable option for leadership. Some kind of rally or heroic shout. I would go for +End, +rec, +Fear protection.

I have both.. and it was a great way to figure out what the names of the SO's meant and what they did... trying to buy them based on color without having to it the info button every time was a waste of a LOT of INF. After 7 years, I STILL can't remember them. The only ones I know by color are Green, Red, Yellow, Purple, Black, Light Blue and Dark Blue. Sometimes I know them by picture and color... but still....

Please leave my rain of arrows alone in this tiny corner over here.
I love my Rain of Arrows. I want to marry it. Please don't hurt it.

Well if they deliver as promised, RoA will have reduced recharge.

You really don't want moar RoA moar often moar?

... moar?

This guy has always been trouble. I could tell since the minute he threatened to go Hamidon in Pocket D, but just went Faathim instead. Or was it Lanaru? Or Rularuu? Don't remember, it was too traumatic.

OK. That's ok. I like that.

I... don't think that's the case. All of the general discussion about nukes was in regard to the crashing variety. They talked about specifics (by name) when going over the non-crashing nukes. I don't believe that Rain of Arrows is changing at all.

This ^

Tier 9 Blasts of the very short recharge (60 seconds) and/or no crash variety are not seeing a change. That's Assault Rifle and Archery.

You missed the part where I was talking about pool powers apparently.

You missed the part where the cottage rule is simply that they won't take build up and have it make a cottage...

Er, no they DID say that a couple of the non-crashing nukes would see tweaks. One would remain the same, the other 2 would see a bump down in recharge.

If I had to guess, Full Auto and the Dual Pistols one. One's a cone with a very long animation time and doesn't do as much damage as RoA, while the other also doesn't do as much damage and is a PBAoE, putting you in harm's way.

RoA probably won't see any changes, which is perfectly fine by me.

The two getting Recharge adjustments were already specified. Geyser and Hail of Bullets (Both down to 120s).

No changes have been mentioned, or even hinted at, for RoA or Full Auto, and I would very much recommend people not get their hopes up, because I highly doubt RoA will be getting any bones thrown it's way.

@Oathbound & @Oathbound Too

Maybe I didn't type it clearly... I sometimes don't speak as clearly as I wish... I was basically saying Rain of Arrows and Full Auto are NOT seeing any changes. So basically anyone getting "wet" over those getting changed is only setting themselves up for a big letdown.

There isn't a specific announcement most weeks, there is a general sticky for it though:

Ok, I know this was several days ago and it doesn't really matter, but for historical purposes (and because I love gravity control):

You're half right, in that it was out before Issue 1. However, Game launch was not really considered Issue 1.

Fold Space was still in at launch. However, it was removed on May 11, 2004. Since the official launch date was April 28, 2004, it lasted all of 13 or 14 days (depending on how you count game launch problems, etc).

I didn't start playing until May 17, but I seem to recall Fold Space being listed in my original game manual. I could be horribly wrong about this... 8 years does a number on memory. Plus, I lost my manual somewhere in one of the many moves during that time.

Anyway, not sure that it even applies to the cottage "rule" (heavy air-quotes there), since I'm sure it was slated for removal before the game went live, but it squeaked through.


More on topic, I really do hope they can keep the Dual Pistol animations the same but faster. Not that it would stop me from playing it if they altered them some, but I personally like to keep the "feel" of the powers I'm using.

For instance, when they sped up Propel from Gravity Control, the power became far more useful. Game-wise, it was nothing but a buff. Still, sometimes when I pay attention to it, I miss the whole "arm fling" as you propel the object forward. It feels different, and makes me slightly sad. Again, not enough to stop throwing large cement gargoyles at villains heads, but enough to make me .

You're right; Fold Space was available at launch. I remember the 'hub-bub' of people saying they wanted to keep Fold Space

Edit:

And yes it's in the manual...I still have it and like looking through it now and then (you know, whenever I'm in the attic and really bored...).
