one point an uncle(who was a professional mechanic) once made to me about patents for car parts... is that they have to be super specific. Making something nearly the same meant they could ignore the patent. It can't be a superficial change though…
Hmmm can't seem to find a good example. But the game currently has tights and a mask option that you can choose one of several pre-loaded logos for. The request is to add an option to have those logos on the back side of gloves. Also the forehead…
Well... we have reasons to want to kick Viper, the Lemurians, and aliens off the island.... we don't want any of them using it as an evil base
Also the dinos are called "Telio-saurs" because they're genetically engineered monsters created by Telios…
Welp... I said this before, but there IS an actual active wiki still. https://championsonline.fandom.com/wiki/Champions_Online_Wiki
It's been semi abandoned since 2014, and needs a lot of work to finish it. But it's technically active.
I actually make an effort to learn to play my builds while leveling them. This is in large part because I have 10 characters and they all have different themes and (mostly) different powers.
Kais requested sppoky stuffz, so.....
Mummy wrap body suits with dangly bandages.
Ghosts where the outline is human-shaped, but blurred and indistinct.
Some knocks have a stupidly high scale. For example Gravitar can knock you so hard you bounce off the containment bubble if you don't block it and somehow survive. It has a drastically reduced knock distance if you block.
yeah I've had issues with getting kicked to login at times too. It seems to happen most often in alerts after the boss is dead. In Red Winter I twice had it drop me during the ending cutscene. I once had it drop me after collecting loot in Harmon…
Yeah but getting a Zod drop makes Destrium Bearings seem common. It's literally a 1 in 5000 chance if it's a high enough level enemy, and only act 5 hell has those. So the closest equivalent in CO would be QWZ.
For the lower ranks you don't need safeguard if you have 400 fusion skill.
this reminds me of the infamous calculation someone did for Diablo 2. in theory you can simply collect a lot of El runes to make a Zod rune, but how many?

Problem is that CO has a flexible concept of building characters that has a weird way of defying automated grouping. Simply using the role isn't gonna cut it.
Yeah but having to re-do the system would require giant masses of work. Sure, it COULD happen, but something smaller scale would be quicker for the devs to do and more likely to actually get made.
Well, they're coded as summon pets with fixed stats. NW more or less does it that way.
Star Trek Online though? Well Bridge Officers have a massive array of customization options. Heck there are lock box items for adding new Boff powers.
The basic impression I get is that Wolverine's healing factor doesn't undo muscle growth. But his muscles always regenerate to the massively jacked size, so that's only a partial explanation.
hunting Nem clues is one of many reasons why you'll see people going around MC smashing chairs. Picking up boost orbs create by smashing objects will spawn nem minions
Part of why I suspect trolling is that the character concepts are all just... bad at being heroes. These are the sort of "street level" heroes who get beaten up by homeless bums with baseball bats.
My personal suspicion is that it's a combination of things.
A: traffic volume, IE running four games through one sever is too much traffic.
B: exception handling for items from other games.
It's a lot easier to make the server work when you don't h…
Well, I wonder if it's due to what happens when items get linked? Like jonsills said about vehicles, adding vehicles to CO crashed chat game wide in STO. Adding a third game didn't ruin things, adding a fourth?
Also there's the question about num…
well the playable areas of VB in CO is only the small core area, maybe the supervillains don't bother with the rest because it's less interesting to them?
OOH use the mission script from soul siphon but re-theme is as villains trying to steal nukes from the wrecked submarine?
Or the bank robbery script but with a submerged ruin having artifacts plundered?
