Rudra

I said it because in my experience from additions to the game, many times they make new animations. (Edit: And speeding up or slowing down an animation already in the set is not as work intensive as converting an animation from one set to another.)

You're asking the wrong person. And even if other animations were to be used, the animator has to work with the animations to get the timing right and change out the linked particle effects.

*shrug* I don't know. Last I heard though, the dev team only has 1 animator.

I just realized what this mission now reminds me of. (Please don't ask me what took me so long to come to this realization.) The assault portals in this mission are now acting like the Rikti portals in the mission where you fight Hero 1/The Honoree in the 'Retrieve the stolen incarnate container' mission Mender Ramiel's incarnate promotion arc. The mission where if you don't find and destroy the Rikti portals fast enough, you need to reload the mission for having spawned a sea of Rikti filling the map. However, unlike that mission, these portals start spawning before you even get anywhere near them and they spawn two bosses each time even at minimum settings every time they trigger more Rikti, which is a guaranteed suicide mission.

This and an all sword set of animations for both fire and ice have been requested before. They would need new animations created for those sets, and animations are probably the biggest holdup in adding things to this game. Though this request (and the all sword option) has rather robust support from the players.

Well, visscale changes your render distance and you can use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in or out. Otherwise I'm not sure what you are asking?

What I'm not understanding is things like the PDP and Pocket D are just maps if you aren't there. If you are running out of memory running the game, I'm pretty sure the emotes and zone maps aren't what is doing it. Like @Shenanigunner says, have you tried dialing back your graphics settings to legacy? (Edit: Also, I have to point out that if it is in the game, it is game content. There is no such thing as non-game content in a video game when it comes to content the game itself provides.)

CO has an underwater zone, and it typically was avoided from what I remember too. It wasn't anything to do with melee having difficulties though, because they really didn't. Mobs preferred range at start, but typically closed after a barrage or two, and didn't try to get back out of melee range if you swam to them. (And the sharks had to be in melee range anyway.) The biggest complaint I can remember from players about the underwater zone was the three dimensions of combat because attacks could come at you from above, below, and every other angle; and many players seemed to have difficulty transitioning into a 3D environment for target tracking. Dear devs, can we get water for our bases like this? Thanks.

All non-robot (and maybe even the robot) Council bosses are Archons regardless of what their subgroup shredout may be. You can see it with the Equinox Archons, the Ascendant Archons, and so forth. There is no Archon subgroup in the Council. (Edit: Even when a boss is named Lt. Something, you are still talking specifically about an Archon from the mob's subgroup. Not to be confused with lieutenant tier mobs. And even if you turn off bosses as a difficulty setting so they downgrade to lieutenants? You are still specifically dealing with an Archon/boss from that subgroup, just stepped down in difficulty.)

Meanwhile, you are ignoring that the poll already exists and that the answers should not be changed mid-poll after others have already responded. (And I kept the answers as straightforward as I thought they could be. ... After @UltraAlt highlighted my petulance in answer 1.) Further, even many Yes/No polls I've had to participate in do things like break out subcategories of yes and no. So while you may work with polls and surveys in real life? The poll I made is very much the same as many other polls I've had to answer. So even your claim that my poll is wrong is itself wrong simply based on official polls I've had to take at work. (Complete with poll tracking numbers and poll generator office name/address.) Polls should never have a bias. Correct, they shouldn't. And I did my best to not have one, but some bias is going to show up depending on the poll. And in this case, the need to differentiate between those that support something as opposed to those that simply don't oppose it is necessary. So if the poll is referenced, both data points can be looked at. X many are not opposed, but only Y participants are actually in favor of. Stating how you feel about something is not playing the victim. And if this is about what seems to be your point about me thinking or claiming the devs are out to get me, then you are still ignoring my own comments stating otherwise. From the very quote you are claiming is me playing the victim card. The "Thanks for the gift, can I give it back" thread was not playing victim. It was expressing my frustration that yet another source of patrol xp was added to the game by taking away the regular xp the explores used to give. That is called giving feedback. (Especially since in that thread I don't call for it to be changed back or make any suggestions for anything.) Which these forums are about. Just like a player can log on these forums and sing their praises for the game or a change that was implemented, a player can log on these forums and say they don't like a change. Yes, I have addressed patrol XP now 5 times in some form. Twice as a suggestion for an option to be able to disable it (edit: taking a different option/approach to doing so on each), once as an option to be able to click something and dump what we have without it going towards anything including debt, most recently as my feedback for the explore badges now awarding patrol xp instead of regular xp change, and here with a poll I was asked to do and agreed to. (And by the way? After I was told that I got mentioned on the patch notes forum? I went there and read through it. And there seems to be some upset people about the change from regular xp to patrol xp on that forum too. So this change was not just a me thing for disagreement.) As for the poll? You know as well as I do that it isn't going to change a thing. I was asked to make a poll. The poll is here. You weren't piping up and saying anything about being a poll reviewer and offering your expertise to make the poll, and neither was anyone else. The poll is made and it is posted. It's a bit late now to change it beyond adding answers, which you are obviously opposed to since you say it should be trimmed down to just "Yes/No/Neither". Edit: And you still haven't answered my question as to what I am wrong about.

Don't get me wrong, I want several things I see on VEATs for some of my other characters. I would love to use the Crab Spider arm blades for instance. (Or at least carry those over on my VEATs to their variant looks.)

Place glass floor tiles at the bottom of the water tile, or use a collision wall (which I haven't tried but should work) in the water tile, and you can swim across large surfaces. You just can't dive, because the water tiles don't layer for effect and have no bottom themselves. (I have a lake in one base I'd like to make possible for players to swim in, but oh well.)

That doesn't look like the same map I'm used to going underwater on. (No large chunks of debris that fails to keep you from getting your feet under the water tile, and thus your head underwater, disabling the swimming animation.) Thanks for the screenshot though.

I seem angry? I wonder why. Someone tells you that you aren't feeling the way you do and see how you react. I'm in the wrong? On what? For daring to make a poll? For trying to cleave out those that don't oppose but also don't support? Please. This poll and the thread preceding it didn't ask for anything. It didn't recommend anything. It had no suggestions. But by all means, I'm ranting and whining to get something that I am not even asking for. Sure. No, what I am feeling in this... conversation... is rage that someone would quote only part of what I say multiple times while telling me I am wrong, while completely ignoring the statement that is part of said quote and insisting that the ignored part is something I need to be aware of and accept as if I haven't. You have cherry picked my comment over and over and over on this thread without ever once acknowledging that I already said, in the quote you like to cite, that the devs are not out to get me (or anyone else for that matter). What am I wrong on? My suggestion? I didn't make one. Feel free to show me anywhere on this thread or the "Thanks for the gift, can i give it back" thread where I actually make a suggestion. For my justification for said suggestion? I didn't make one because I didn't make a suggestion. Feel free to show me the suggestion. For making a poll as asked? Okay, you got me. If I was so against making a poll, I shouldn't have. For trying to break out where people stand on the poll? No, that isn't wrong. That is as wrong as including "No response", "Neither yes or no", or anything else of that nature. That the poll is slanted? I don't see it slanted. I see a spot where everyone that stands in opposition to the option, that isn't even defined or suggested, has a place to say they oppose it, where those that would like it can say they would like it, where those that don't care either way can say they don't care either way, and those that don't oppose but don't support either also have a place to have their say. What are you so threatened by in this poll? The opposition votes are more numerous than the support votes. What are you so upset about in this thread or the previous one? I didn't ask for patrol xp to go die in a hole, have a means of being dumped, or have a means of being turned off. In fact, I specifically stated that was avoiding making such a suggestion. And if the question hadn't been posed yet again as to why I don't like patrol xp? The only comments I would have been making on this thread were reminders the poll was here so it stayed visible through the weekend. So what am I wrong about? Tell me. (Edit: If anything, the poll is biased in your favor. Why? Because every vote not in support is grouped into one category so that even if a vote would be "yes, I am opposed, but...", it is still only flagged as "yes". Whereas the nos? Are broken up into "no, I am not against and would actually like to see" and "no, I am not against but neither would I use it". So you and @Ghost should actually be happy with the poll because it is far easier for the "I am opposed" votes to carry weight for not being broken up into different possible "yes" responses. Otherwise the vote tally would be 16-29 instead of 16-9.)

There are other exits as far as I know. That is just the one I found and remember. (Edit: Also, those with super jump should be able to jump in or out through that point fairly easily. Teleporters can teleport out that way, and everyone can just drop into the base that way. Those with no travels though? There are supposed to be multiple entrances/exits for the Vanguard base now, but I haven't gone looking for them.)

Correct. What we see as swimming is just a different animation for running. Technically, yes, the basic physics are already there, it is just the flight mechanics. Where you run into problems is the surface to air interface. Where is this? I'd like to try it. So far I've only found one spot on a single map where you can go underwater, but you lose the swimming animation when you get to the bottom of that space and run normally until you get high enough to be affected by the water tile again.

and neither do you. I said doubtful regarding Devs plotting against you. Honestly... imagine them in a room ..."Ok...how can we screw with Rudra." That was my point. Period. You know that line you like to cite in this thread? The one you are misrepresenting? Well, here it is: You see that first part? The part you like to not include in your citation? Here, I'll point it out to you. Again. While I know it isn't the devs intent? Does that say I think the devs are plotting against me? No. Does it say I think the devs added this change to upset me? No. Does it say anywhere that I think the devs made this change for me for absolutely any reason at all? No. So your point is to tell me what I already know and stated? Edit: And the means of you doing so is by blatantly ignoring that I already acknowledged and stated it prior to stating how it feels to me? And then by focusing on how I feel and then telling me you doubt it, while simultaneously ignoring the part of my comment that already made your point for you because you think I am unaware and need to be instructed on such?

The same as who the hell are you. You have absolutely no right, none whatsofucking ever, to tell anyone that what they feel is doubtful. You do not get to tell me how I feel or what I feel or what I should feel or absolutely anything at fucking all about my goddamned feelings. You want to disagree with something I request? By all means. Let's hear your take on my suggestion. You want to disagree with a comment I post? That's your right, go right ahead. But you absolutely don't get to fucking tell me how i feel about a gaddamned thing! Yet.... here we are. Include the rest of the quote. Edit: I'm taking a break from this thread for a while. Poll still up. Vote however you want on it.

No. There are now more ways to get into the RWZ instead of just the portal. For instance, if you go through the now open gate behind the vendor next to Serpent Drummer, you can fly up and out of the base.

That's because there isn't a way. MM pets can't be customized. Though pet customization has been requested.

How is it leading someone to a wanted answer? I even start with the option to oppose it. And I provide an out for those that neither support nor oppose it. And to break out those that may not support but aren't bothered should it be implemented, there is even a category response for them. So only answers 1 and 2 are opposed to each other. (So as far as the poll currently stands, there are 14 against and 8 in favor. Answer 3 isn't an in favor of the option answer, it is an "I don't oppose it" answer. And answer 4 is none of the above.) Yes, there are things in the forums I oppose. Typically changes that would be forced on others to suit someone else's play style. There are things I dismiss. Because to the best of my knowledge, they can't be done. Anything else? If I don't like it, I say so, but I try to not step on it. And when I wind up arguing over it? It is because like right now, I am defending my point of view. As I have said on multiple threads, we can acknowledge a difference of opinion. When someone tells me I am wrong though? That isn't just a difference of opinion. That is something to be argued. While we can argue about whether or not a game element I don't want to experience is being forced down my throat or not, who the hell are you to say if something I feel is doubtful? Even that statement you are quoting is preceded by "While I know that it is not the devs' intent". After my, I think it was the Patrol Dump thread, I stated that I was not going to make any further requests to be able to disable patrol xp. And I have kept to my word. The thread that preceded this was a complaint about explore badges now awarding patrol xp instead of regular xp like they used to, which I could turn off to not get. I even specifically stated in the OP of that thread that I was not asking for anything. Not a reversion of the explore badge awards. Not a patrol xp turn off or dump option. Nothing at all. It was feedback on a change that even others have been arguing was a surprise change that wasn't given any feedback. And the discussion that arose from that led to this poll. A poll that I was against making because I knew it would go down this line and I didn't want to deal with it, but that I made anyway to prove a point. If the devs chime in and say "Patrol xp will not be given an option of being disabled.", it wouldn't change anything because I already know they aren't going to give us the option to disable it. That was not the purpose of the "Thanks for the gift, can I give it back thread". That is not the purpose of this poll. This poll isn't going to change anything, and I stated as much on the thread that led to this poll's creation.

To the best of my knowledge, PDP has never had a villain side entrance. Because they had Pocket D access. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Paragon_Dance_Party

It's not an argument, just a suggestion. We're talking about a videogame. When two sides discuss or debate something from opposite (or even just different) points of view, those statements are called arguments. Not to be confused with the yelling match many think of when someone says argument. (Though they can also devolve into yelling matches.)

I'm not the only one that wants to be able to disable patrol xp. The threads I linked show that. This poll shows that. So your 3rd paragraph is proven wrong.

The explanation is in the threads. All of the threads I linked. I've given my reasons ad nauseam. Since you are unwilling to read said threads and insist I haven't given reasons though? I hate patrol xp. Always have. It is an unearned reward that accelerates your leveling. It is an incentive to not play the game. I understand why it exists, but that doesn't change the fact that I hate it beyond mere words' ability to convey. That it was added is fine. That players can't choose to not get it is not. And you can't get rid of it. All you can do is use it to level or pay off debt. And I personally am sick and tired of spending my game time committing suicide to get rid of it before I start playing. We can choose to not get badges. We can choose to not get powers. We can choose to not get xp. We can even choose to not get inf'. We can't choose to not get patrol xp though. No, patrol xp is shoved down our throats with a fucking fire hose with a 'you want this, no matter what you say, what you really mean is you want this' mentality.
