So... This new Automatron DLC. Pros: Building robots is fun. You can customise Codsworth (or Curie, but I'm pretty sure you'll lose her modifications with old body after she's upgraded to synth. You get some additional dialog lines as the Silver Shroud. You get a new lair for your character. ...and two radiant quests.…

Oh, I'd balance it for PvP riiiight away. Except this wouldn't be a way of adding lunge everyone's hoping for. Move Form of The Tempest to level 11. Now, when the power picking requirements are met... Put the lunge at level 14 as a choice instead of the Force Geyser. And Force Snap as a choice to the Containment Field. I…
-
Can't say I like the Unleashed AT or ever intend to play it again, but yeah. It's not a bad idea to have a lunge as an option on the same level with Force Snap. The biggest problem with Force Snap is that it can be countered with knock resistance, so it's not a reliable way of closing gaps for a melee AT. Another problem…

"Custom archetypes" was their awkward way of mentioning freeform in the chart. Yup. For CO humongous player population and crowded servers it's essential.

All our guns shoot magical bullets. That's why it's retarded or just stubborn arguing that how the gun looks should affect efficiency of powers in any way. The only thing that counts is not some imaginary "logic", fluff, theme or other bull***, but on which tier power is available, how much it costs using it, and if it is…

Buyers beware. Every promo art for hover tanks shows them flying. Unless you were buying from the auction house, then it's an understandable mistake. Anyway, the engine can't handle ground vehicles as they don't tilt with the ground (NPC vehicles can follow properly only pre-determined waypoints and even with them…
-
You missed the point here. .50 AE is a magnum bullet for people who really hate their wrists and it can go through an engine block. In a very unrealistic event someone carries two full auto pistols chambered to one of these effect will be comparable to cutting a tree with a gatling. Now prove me that it's illogical in…
-
We're dealing witch characters shooting bullets at anyone. Which is an overkill to do to a normal person, and for ones like supervillains who are actually bulletproof, like Grond, "logically" would be of no use anyway whether you hit them with a single bullet, or a rain of it... And as I said before, you want approaching…
-
There's no thing like "overal damage" in firearms. There's only stopping power, actual damage you do to tissue and armor penetration. The "overall damage" you are talking about is an abstract. It doesn't even exist. Can't be a basis for any comparison. And in two or three terms, stopping power and harm done to a human...…

Stock handgun ammo you can buy legally is not AP. Steel coated, teflon coated or steel core pistol ammo goes through vests. It's also illegal for civilians in most countries and definitely not for use unless you explicitly want to kill someone. You have to load your gun on purpose with it. A standard 9mm or .45 may be…
-
"It doesn't make sense to have the smallest guns do the most damage. " Logic. Ok. Here's how this logic works... Logically, IRL. A rifle bullet does less damage to tissue than a handgun bullet. That's a fact. Military hadgun bullets like 9mm or .45 ACP are actually more devastating than rounds shot from an assault rifle.…
-
Thing is, fractal and rubber bullets are produced mostly in pistol calibers which is why AT squads carry SMGs. Machine guns are chambered with 5.56 or 7.62 rifle rounds and people rarely care about producing this kind of rounds for military. It makes an awful lof of sense for a street level vigilante who's not a Bruce…
-
That's your character concepts. Just don't go into making arguments based on fluff like personal character concepts what is silly and what isn't and expect it being taken any valid. A personal opinion what fits is not a basis for pondering a mechanical balance between powers. You may also want to ask for different gatling…
-
A typical comic book munitions "hero" is Frank Castle, or other human, not a werewolf. The guy who has no power to carry a gatling everywhere. So staying within real comic archetypes and not caring about less classic concepts - gatling has zero place on my characters. I find it a double standard when someone's complaining…
-
You can't go gun-fu with rifles. The point about dual guns is to play John Woo movie. I prefer the way it was handled instead of bringing 2GM down to its old levels. This way everyone can stick with their favorite visuals. CO long time ago moved past having restricted weapon proggression for munitions. More and more weapon…
-
I'd be critical about pistols doing more damage than heavy support weapons if not for Red Hood and Deadpool. Logic is not dispensed here, only cool factor. In any realistic situation except for concealed carry a rifle always beats a handgun, but the game isn't exactly realistic to begin with. At least CO gatlings still are…
-
^This. VBA story is before the Resistance. Althought technically Resistance and Vibora Bay Apocalypse are set in two different timelines. VBA is before the Resistance, or rather would be set before the Resistance, except because the hero goes back in time to prevent VBA it technically never happends and we can go to…
-
2GM is not the only power in this game and not the most important one. Got it on a freeform and on an AT and it's playable on both of them. This is silly. Cryptic's not gonna revert changes anyway. Developers could easily nerf 2GM back to its old levels (causing even greater outcry), instead they opted for keeping it…
-
Foxbat face is broken because it's not animated. Lips stay in this smile even when he talks. Looks hella weird and not like a smile at all. It miiight be made on purpose because someone back then saw his Foxbat for President illustration in CU books, but in practice it did not work at all as a 3d game animation. 100%…

I'd like it more if it was neon red. On a pitch black.

Qliphoths is done to death in CO. Boring. High fantasy and magic are done to death in CO. Boring x2. Also, Qliphoth =/= Hell. But costumes and vehicles look promising and it's all something to do, so I suppose it will be fun to play. Just as usual, paying no attention to the theme or dumb things NPCs will try to tell me.…
-
Doesn't mean you can't rig it so underlying body does not clip with armor part. Note how no other heavy armor costume pieces in CO had such big scaling problems. They're just sufficiently big and have additional loops to faciliate for scaling. The VR piece was as simplicistic as it gets - someone literally tried to model…
-
I'm critical over the game when I see things that are bad, imho. I like their balancing job on powers, recently. Much needed and looong overdue. Still there are things I dislike. I don't have to explain why I'm not a blindly loyal. This is sort of silly and butthurt to be upset or surprised about other player having any…
-
They're bots. Either trying to sell gold (but why, in this game?) or farmbots. Overall, if your game finally starts attracting bots it may be a good sign. Because when it comes to CO it was under the radar for so long that nobody even cared about making any bots for this game.
-
It doesn't matter. None of what you are writing right now has any meaning. The theme is just a fluff bull*** in games, it always was. The point is that a set was released unfinished and with terrible, terrible bugs and then sold for real money. *facepalm* That's a company releasing faulty product knowing perfectly that…
-
Most of what you claim is true, but in terms of 3d modeling and costumes this team was rather bad. They're slowly improving now. Possibly. Hopefully. Variable Robot was a complete disaster made by someone who either does not know how or don't care to set smooching groups or normals. Tesselation ahoy! No matter how much…
-
The Assault Rifle may come with lower energy cost, but it hits only one target at time, slows the player when used and has no utilities like critical buff and HoT.
-
This AT after "purchasing" ends in the same tab with other once claimed bonus content. It's an account-wide unlock and does not expire. But you do need a free character slot in order to build a new toon.
-
Makes me wonder how 2GM builds are made if energy cost is now prohibitely high, since the only AT with this power has no problems maintaining it full or repeating it again and again, and it gets by with no energy stats, only with a Munitions EU. Seems like it should be much easier to balance energy consumption on a…
-
TBH, of all premium ATs the Fist is probably the most gimped one. It has no place for itself, really. Kinda plays like the Blade with unarmed MA instead of Single Blade, is only minimally less squishy than the Blade (but the Blade can tops its DPS by stacking bleeds), and when purchasing ATs because of the theme it more…
-
Melee attacks require you to go face your targets, turning you more exposed to any PBAoE attacks and can be countered by your opponent merely moving away from you which is what both AI and player opponents can and will do fairly often. Ranged powers only need being spammed as long as you have energy for it. There's nothing…

Borealis and Eurostar. Typical comic-y supervillains. Kinematik could be nice, but CO is more light-hearted in tone so the guy may not mix-in well, considering that he also needs IHA and their bigotry to have reasons for doing things.
-
Can't see anything wrong witch changes to this AT. It always was an AT that could be set to blades OR guns, but always was lacking any form of energy unlock. Now it has an energy unlock plus Furious can up your criticals which will synergise well with Stimpack adv on Holdout Shot as it was healing best when it could crit.…
-
What was or wasn't an actual intent is hardy relevant after a few years when it wasn't acknowledged as wrong. After this time even original developers might explain and say whatever they want and nobody's really obligated to believe their words. Keys or Q-nite is the more likely explanation than any sudden "balance" or…
-
Yup. Basically, you have to eyeball NPC and environment and adjust your height to them. Rulers and scales available in game are not in line with maps and NPCs. I'd go other way. Those rulers placed next to tailor NPCs should be upscaled, because even things you interact with (like terminals, chairs, tables, etc) are in…
-
I admire your optimism, but you do realise that the only way the very person responsible for latest SCR nerfs can wrap their head about balancing anything is simply nerfing everything in their sight to the level of the worst performing power? That's a new CO reality, lulz. Brace yourself.
-
Let's not beat around the bush... What happened is exactly what you get when a hardcore player who knows everything around the game gets to influence development of the game. The game starts being adjusted precisely to this one segment of the playerbase and their way. And we're talking about the player who was always…

Pfft... I'll stick with Lady Gaga.

You think Mechanon might have been made by Microsoft?

Still playing this game, not DCUO. Should explain how much I "dislike" CO. I'm not the one with feelings hurt over the people not wanting to give a try to the same game I like...

SHUTTEL NOT JETT, Hasbro! Blast Off is SHUTTEL NOT JETT! *sob* Good thing I waited for Takara version. *sob* Sure as hell you may pretend not being extreme but you are contemptous as **** calling people out for not liking the same games as do you. Unless this time term "fanboi" was just an urthodox compliment, lol. Oh,…

"Lesser" is a very relative term. For you and me CO works (I swear, I could never get past CoH pace of gameplay, it simply wasn't made for my tastes). For other folks CO may be off-putting because of how it looks and how it plays, the same genre won't help them. Can't say I have any belief in an idea of a thriving…
