Here's some ideas for a revamp: - Make those that are monthly subs after 27 months LTS automatically. They have paid enough into the system to get this prestige. - Create an LTS installment plan, with payments every 1/3/6 months. That way you get gold, with a chance to get LTS if you pay enough. It works VERY well with…
UNITY has not given me anything but coin and XP (which, again, don't need). Q was supposed to be very rare in-game as well, and also have very good gear/powers. It's ok, but I have all the travel unlocks (which isn't saying much) and costumes. And it seems every time I turn around, I'm earning Q easily. I can even BUY Q…
You also note when I said "When I need it" I get most healing stuff for free, and when I do need them, I get them for mere silver at most (I'm a lifer). Plus, I have no other REAL reason to spend global or Q unless a power comes up. Q is supposed to be the rarest thing in-game, and I got tons of it vs even SCR. Heck, the…
The problem I see is Until is -very- plentiful, and I get those good healing and shielding (if I needed them) with Global, Drifter, or even Q. Until is practically worthless compared to those. As for SCR/GCR, what is needed is GCR (since most power unlocks is behind GCR), and to get that... well, you have to do at least…
An idea I brought up for a travel power is comet flight. you turn into a form of ball with a comet tail as you move. Basically fast but hard to turn, but fantastic idea for an effect.
It could actually be the nodes you're going through aren't affected. I already checked with my provider, and it's not them. It's not me because I also eliminated all the issues (including the cables and router). I connect to the EU proxy, and while I am experiencing lag (I'm in the US), I don't get knocked off. US Proxy,…
Actually he's right, somehow a bug has come into CO. Usually I seldom/never have issues with SNRs, but as of Friday.... I can't even play 5 minutes without a DC. I eliminated the ISP, the modem, the router (I ran the game directly from the modem), so the issue is the trip through all the nodes. This has happened before,…
Here's my issue with 2GM: I would have actually been happy with a damage nerf (it was OP after all), but what was done? They moved it to the big powers, made it a narrow AoE, and replaced it with... a simple two-gun shot. Now, unless you are going for a specific build, 2GM is practically useless (since there are 2 AoEs…
Also, high amount of players playing. I only experience lag/SNR/DCs during the times of prime people joining... basically December, October, etc. Crazy though... the EU servers work just fine, but the US servers are a pain, and I'm in the US. Cable's just fine, ISP is strong, etc. It's a middleman, like last time.
I didn't say it'd be easy! But it can be rolled out slowly bit-by-bit. Just saying "Look I gotta bomb" when you would more likely be a magic-user is not too bright.
I never said change them, I said make them a bit more noticable. I can easily find WCOC on a map, but Shererra's Bar can be confusing. Just a dot on a map works. BUT... more places would be nice. Heck, maybe more hideouts are in order... or maybe BIGGER ones.
I quite agree it's high time for new zones. Maybe China? Maybe Europe? Heck even the moon! To do this though might even warrant a level cap increase. I wouldn't mind at all, since this IS the first MMO I loved so much I hit the cap.
I can quite agree. I listed a bunch of things that I'd love to see in CO (or any MMO for that matter), including: - More skirts/pants for the monster legs. Not all monsters walk around near naked ;) - More monster parts (like centaur or lamia). Doesn't have to have powers associated, just would look cool (and is not…
Pieces for mythical creatures, ie these: The original Talisman outfit, including her skirt-cape (HINT: it's not the New Shadows version): Making some of the skirts/waist-capes compatible with the beast legset. Flat chest for females, and breasts for men (sounds odd I know). I also agree with the longer hair
You had to go back to the old Punisher. That one got redesigned quickly (when Dollf Lungren played him) Skull Shirt and pants, not tights. shirt and jeans. Not tights. Shirt, jacket and jeans or leathers (considering the movie also). No tights.
Considering that -every- fantasy MMO has had centaurs as a race (albeit villainous), but never for players, is an injustice that needed to be addressed. Maybe Cryptic might get a message and decide to put centaurs in NWN (which is based off D&D, and it has them). After all, we -can- play other fantasy-styled races in…
Tech's ok, but fantasy =/= magic. Mythical non-humanoid characters in an MMO are impossible to find (only 2 mmos had centaurs as player characters). In one RPG setting, there was a race called a cyber-horseman, a bionic centaur. So not really magic, but fantasy-themed. But, the devs spoke, so a big letdown on challenge. We…
Meh, I wanted more fantasy-oriented themes, ie Centaur, lamia, or even genie (which is available as a device). Yet Another Anime girl is kinda... blah. But it seems the devs didn't want something -too- hard... /voted for the Transformer, just cause it's the lesser of the evils.
I just hope they look at them as more of a challenge. The ones I posted would require a bit more thought than the others, but would put CO a step ahead of the rest of the MMOs (including the fantasy ones!). Yes, Genies are in there via device, but what if I want to play a genie without that powerset, and with just the look?
While I like this idea, one thing lacking is monster-style lower halves. I have three pics for this: This last one? Making one of your become devices an ACTUAL costume. Yes, the djinni.
Personally, even with my 40s, I'm gonna avoid the Mega Ds. This is beyond stupid, much like the Cybermind alert (instead of a real mission). If you do an invasion, wouldn't you, y'know... INVADE THE WHOLE CITY? Instead of 6 in a close-knit group, 6 scattered throughout (and at various levels to allow the lowbies a chance).…
I personally think they ought to just drop the "RUN TO THE COLOR AND RUN BACK" and instead just make it where you STAND on the colors. I also do think Cybermind needs a MAJOR nerf. Either that, or make an alternate non-alert mission, so everyone who plays for the story can enjoy.
Personally, I will put this alert in the same league as Gravitar and Ao... stupid, pointless, and yes, way too hard for certain builds. I wish PW would make a 3rd mission that didn't rely on an alert as I was actually ENJOYING the story.
The basic mechanics are there though (and the Cur is copyable into a PC form). The problem is only implementing the code into a PC character, whereas actually starting from scratch (significantly harder). Say for instance the genie... as stated the legs are there, but 100% transparent, and a few added effects. Same for the…
Making the multi-limbed body is actually -made- easier because the code is in the game. And actually, it is a human body with an arm mod (I can do this in Poser and make humantaurs and conjoined people). And the Cur body is easily facimilated (with werewolf skin and beast stance), whereas there are no options for extra…
I don't know about you guys, but the Canadian Crisis is still unable to be entered by -any- of my characters needing it. I get the mission, and can't enter the land, no matter what I do or how high or low the level.
Depends on the myth and where it comes from. In D&D a naga has no arms, so on the net naga is not used. On the internet they call them "lamias," a type of monstergirl.
Here is another idea, a sonic-based powerset. Basically similar to force/wind, but with a different animation setup. Also some powers can disorient the baddies and make them fall.
Then maybe it would give them more reason to enhance the powers. The animations however are already there. Actually the reason fantasy MMOs don't do this is laziness (that is a quote from WoW). Centaurs have been done before as a PC character (albeit poorly) in one MMO, and Second Life has both snake, mer, and centaur…
Some? I left CoX because none of the devs listened to the people ranting about the massive nerfs they put through, and not nerfing the baddies. City of Heroes became City of Zeroes in a matter of months. No roleplaying quality, no good teams, etc. And let's not forget the DIY mission maker they tried... Frankly, I'd rather…
I still want to see more mythical parts like lower half horse/snake, multiple limbs, and allowing certain costume parts work with the legs (namely skirts).
I must say I'm very much against hiring CoX devs. I happen to -like- the system we have, and they would more or less screw it up. If you're going to hire devs, hire good ones, not Paragon devs.
Funny I'm a gold member, and I too pay a lot for CO. Last month I spent $100US. I think veteran awards are great. How bout this though: Make Vet rewards unbound, and only bound when one equips? Last Vet reward every character got one (a flight, and costume, etc). Either that or make it account-wide, not each character.
