This seems relevant. from "Perfect Ten: Failed MMOs that could have succeeded with more love" at massivelyop.com on October 3 2018 "3. Champions Online Unlike a lot of other titles on this list, Champions is still running and presumably will be for a while yet to come. Even so, it’s hard to argue with the notion that the…
I would really prefer this power to be more like Moment of Glory from COX. Its almost there... Make this power such that it can be used before or after death. That would make it less situational and more unique. At least add an advantage that takes off the rez part and lets you activate before death as a more traditional…
1. As a LTS holder this doesn't affect me directly. 2. These changes are fine except for the Free Form issue. 3. 50 dollars is the price of a full AAA game. FF slots are NOT and have never been worth 50 dollars. 4. The competition for our entertainment dollars is VERY stiff rite now. If you EVER subbed to CO then you…
I'll briefly be back at CO to check out the new Nemesis alert. While I'm here, I would love to get a few rounds of stronghold in. Since stronghold isn't about racking up kills or necessarily having a duel based build, I would recommend it for a pvp event. Dueling and bash are the more exclusive, contentious and ego…
DS definitely should not root while charging. Your target can easily walk out of range while you charge, the animation will still play but the damage wont register. This can be confusing and frustrating. The jogging test dummies in the powerhouse can reliably move out of melee before DS completes its charge thus causing it…
@kaizerin Thanks for being so transparent about this. It really helps when you know where the devs stand on issues. I figured that adding a lunge would cause complicated animation problems. I'm not surprised, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. A more realistic Suggestion?: Let the final hit of DS do bonus damage…
Someone brought a fair point to my attention on PTS. UR is a very specialized ultimate that only works with enrage and thus is only useful to melee knock builds. On the other hand, DS can be used with any form on just about any build. This means that for most builds, DS is the obvious choice between the two. With that in…
That's why I said "DS is a (mostly)single target power". Ive replaced the word "radius" with "effectiveness" for clarity. You seem to be implying that UR and DS are on equal footing, so im going to give it another shot and try to keep an open mind. Since were talking about the last hit on DS...AOE knock back can be…
Suggestion:Make Devistating Strikes synergyze better with the MA framework. 1. Take the chi flame part out of the base power and move it to an advantage. 2. Add another advantage "kick boxer" that gives DS a bleed dot comperable to the chi flame DOT. This will make the power more useful to bleed users including single…
1. These changes to open palm strike are very similar to the changes I was advocating for on the forums a while back. If its not just a coincidence and the changes on pts are related to my previous post, I want to thank the devs for listening. 2. aiqa, Thanks for your number crunching/analysis and I agree with your…
I like the open palm strike changes. Bug: The graphic fx for Open Palm Strike are now broken. 1. The base power does not display any projectile when activated.The energy wave/projectile fx only displays when the ghostly strikes advantage is equipped. 2. Open Palm Strike visual fx don't get flashier with each additional…
No, I only have one up to date build. When I got build switched it did scramble every thing as well (including my costume). To be more clear, I'm thinking one of two things happened. 1. Pinnacle switched my role when it was glitching out and changing my build. 2. I unknowingly clicked on the role button when I was…
That was it! #facepalm I know what happened now. I was testing pinnacle game profiler on a new controller last night in bash. When I spam a certain button it was unintentionally causing my build to switch. I guess I didn't notice because I was in the middle of a pvp match. Thx for helping me clear that up.
BUG:Upload teleport does not make you invisible. Onlookers can see your digital body and the numbers in the air around you. Bug:Reign of Frogs Open Mission Gadroon mobs continue to spawn from teleportation pads even after the pads are destroyed. When you rescue the solders, they take a long time to register as saved and…
These are things I have wanted to see for a long time. If not for your efforts, I would have given up on CO. I hope when the time comes, you will open up a feedback thread for how to structure pvp rewards.
This is one of my old pet issues. 1. Adding a lunge to melee powers would be nice imo. This would mitigate the dps loss of traveling between targets and open up build space for builds that otherwise require a lunge. 2. letting us charge melee powers outside of melee range was floated during one of the last melee reviews.…
This is one of the things about ATs that need to be fixed. With all the new threat wipe powers recently added, I almost assumed universal threat wipes for ATs was the plan. Threat wipes need to be given as early as possible so people can get used to them (not just at 35). Also, ATs should not have to choose between a…
This is correct. JG occupies the same space as rank 9 mods. The cosmetics and devices/powers are more appealing IMHO, so I would grind for them instead of the gear (if at all) if I were you.
@championshewolf The story telling in CO is way more obvious and heavy handed than that and there are VERY strong arguments against your theories. I suspect that this story was to be resolved with the star guardian introduction and some kind of end game involving a moon base/space station. It would be nice if a dev could…
I support this 100% And before people get started... COX had this and it wasn't a big deal. In addition to "Enforcers" we could have "Stalker" class mobs. This sounds interesting... it might keep super tanks on their toes.
Whats more likely is that the other super ez system (which has been around for years) was was not performing adequately monetarily. PWE has the advantage of having several MMOs and years of trial and error under their belt. These guys have mountains of statistics for this game and others that we cant see. This is a problem…
This guy/girl gets it. True story: I accidentally unequipped my JG by build switching and didn't even notice for weeks. Just be glad your getting new content after all this time. you don't need JG to enjoy it.
@theravenforce "Ah I see." I just thought that response was kinda "meh" relative to the implications of this change. Maybe I'm just over excited because these changes remind me of the "Why mobs should be adjusted to work as groups "trinity" style." suggestion thread I made (one of many). Also, It would be nice to get these…
Well, I do feel like this game focused on the more magic/fantasy elements then it does for more transnational comic book elements. Shadow Destroyer/ Q relm should have been Dr Destroyer/Destrega(sp). The game sets Dr. Destroyer up as the main antagonist then abandons him.... I also wish there were more prominent tights…
Um... Adjusting the mobs is an important part of making CC viable. I know you have grown cynical over the years (as have I) but if this trend continues (along with some targeted power adjustments), controllers like your self and assassins like my self may actually be able to find work in this town some day. :o Also, This…
@aesica I think prices are too high, but I also think your distorting things to enhance your point. "The big games with lasting power use steady reward streams to keep their players interested and engaged" between the Q store and the various recognition tiers there are a lot of rewards other than justice gear. I suspect…
Check this thread: http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/championsonline/#/discussion/1205995/anything-new-yet/p1 This should answer most of your questions.... ...... .. And read the thread all the way to the end. There is a (IMO) hilarious plot twist in there. ;)
Shattering rain: is respectable aoe damage for those that don't have it (some melee builds). It also has a relatively short cool down which makes it fairly spammable. The fact that the rain does not track your target weakens the powers value. The only thing I don't get is why its more expensive than the Elder Worms crystal…
Bug: Where: Elder worms crystal eruption device What happens: the paralyze on this device does not cause the target to play any animation or FX indicating that the paralyze is active
Speaking of Nemesis, does street sweeping in the Q war zone trigger nemesis minion ambushes? Sorry... I'm to lazy to test this my self. EDIT: Some day I would really like to make my Nemesis and his/her minions as hard as this new endgame difficulty standard.
I think the pc ego storm has been nerfed enough already. EDIT: This progressive debuff "ego storm" sounds like a whole new power. I think adding a whole new NPC exclusive power would probably be inefficient and impractical. If we are going to give them an AOE stun, why not just replace it with TK eruption or shadow…
Some kind of consideration should be given to the people who are in the middle of or close to the end of getting JG. If I was 1 or 2 tokens away from completing the set when this patch went live, I would be pissed. Maybe there should be a temporary option to exchange tokens for x amount of gold and/or silver recog just to…
Well the ego storm animation (rooted with arms open) leaves the NPC extremely vulnerable and also prevents it from taking more meaningful action in addition to be fairly lengthy and flashy. If the hold cant be fixed, the entire power needs to be removed because all it does now is invite death.
@kaizerin Thanks for the much needed communication on this subject. Understanding your thought process on critical issues will at least help us discuss these topics more effectively.
Bug Where: Q warzone and nightmare invasion What happens: Elder Worm sorcerers have a version of Ego Storm that doesn't hold. Fix the hold and go one step further and give them the "malevolent manifestation" advantage
