  1. What would be the main obstacles to having Snake tail as a lower body option? We already have several of the upper body options from Talons of Vengeance, so it isn't a matter of chopping up an all-in-one frame. I'm guessing there might be movement issues as the Snakes and Talons tend to slither instead of walk? And I imagine a lot of the current kicking animations might look strange.
  2. Doing a chameleon character and can't quite settle on a face. The first one I like for a general lizard-man look, but it doesn't really look like an actual chameleon. The other two are attempts to make the head more like a real chameleon's head, with a triceratops-type crest, large eyes with small black dots and a slightly bulbous chin. Suggestions?
  3. Sonic has a lot of options to pick either mouth or hand for casting it's powers. A few other powers that had mouth or eye orientations now have hand orientation options. Could we just do this... all over? Yes, I want to spit water. Yes, I'd like to blast energy exclusively from my eyes. I'd like Illusion Control's Blind to come out of my hand. Etc. I get there are only so many animations. But even if every eye blast looked identical it would still be nice to have.
  4. I always thought the vehicle power should be more like panther/coyote where you turn into the vehicle (like any number of existing vehicle models in the game).
  5. I was looking for something like this. As a raging altaholic I wanted to get the Accolade power ASAP for my lowbies and the path I find easiest is: Atlas Park (from the spot where Heroes start): Run into the City Hall and go to the statue on the left for the Patriot badge Turn right and follow the hall to the last room on the right (D.A.T.A.) and run up to the elevator door for the Edge of Chaos badge Run back outside to the statue of Atlas (if you don't have the free prestige travel powers from the P2W Vendor get them now) use Jump Pack or Steam Jump to leap to the top of the Atlas statue globe for the Top Dog badge Jump down to the American flag at the top of City Hall for the Patriot badge Jump down behind City Hall and to the left towards Henry Peter Wong (guy in blue) for the Hero Corps Insider badge (I usually then go to the plaque on the corner near the parking lot for the Pupil badge since it's needed for an Accolade) Head towards the Steel Canyon marker and the orange-ish building directly to the right of it, use the street ramp to the south of it to jump to the lower ledge on the right of the building and go the antenna at the back for the Undefeated badge Go southeast (more east than south) and find another oragey building with a water tower just north of a skyscraper. Use the hill next to the building to get to the northwest corner of the skyscraper, and jump to the ledge with the watertower and go to the air conditioning unit near the southwest corner for the Silent Sentinel badge Head to the Vanguard building, go inside, up the stairs to the left and go to the door on the left side for the Observant badge I suppose you could get Observant first but that requires more running back on the same path. I'm curious how the algorithm would differ.
  6. In Brickstown right between the Sentinel Park plaque and a mission cave door (-2425.5 -7.9 -410.6) a holiday present spawns a few feet above the ground. After opening it and getting "Naughty" twice both times it failed to produce any Winter Hordlings.
  7. Created a new 50 Stone/Rad Tanker on Beta to experiment with builds and when I switched my active build to #2 and tried to train up, I had no powers available. Not greyed out, just not there. Blank. Tried the same thing changing to active build 3 and same result. Also, clicking "Powers" on my tray brought up blank Primary and Secondary rows as well. Again, not greyed out powers. They just weren't there. This was all with Miss Liberty in Atlas Park.
  8. So are they supposed to be enemies now? Seems really weird to have two static NPCs that will fight each other. Imagine of the Patron AVs occasionally brawled inside Grandville.
  9. I was hunting Fir Bolg in Croata near the train and I guess some of them got to close to Norsewind because she started fighting them. I go hunt a little further away then I see a thundercloud appear and Norsewind is fighting with Annah who is listed as an Archvillain. This was on Everlasting server 12/8/2020 at 6:57pm CST Usually they just hang out all friendly but I guess one of them must have said something?
  10. I wish they'd increase the number of beacons that cabe be linked to one portal. Khalista Wharf is the odd man out.
  11. And if you want to access your saved costume files they now go in Applications(or where ever "Launch CoH.app" is installed)/coh/Launcher/costumes Not sure where to put the data folder for vidiotmaps and custom sounds, etc.
  12. FYI, you may need to do it twice. I just did it and got a security message "An error occurred copying the launcher program files. This may indicate the interference of anti-virus..." And so I deleted the zip file and the package and tried a second time and it worked.
  13. I am also in this boat. Ironically I replaced my even older iMac with an early 2009 mac almost exactly one month before the big CoH return reveal.
  14. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201634 Bummer.
  15. I cannot update my machine past El Capitan and the legacy version doesn't run for me either. "You can’t use this version of the application “Island Rum.app” with this version of OS X. You have OS X 10.11.6. The application requires OS X 10.12 or later."
  16. People who post new Topics with unspecific, non-descriptive Titles. It makes navigating a message board really frustrating and encourages repeat posts because people can't find existing threads. Examples: "I need help" "I have a problem" "Look at my build" "Here's an idea" Of course the absolute worst are the people who blatantly ignore the importance of Titles. "I suck at titles" "An interesting title" etc. This also applies to the subject fields in emails.
  17. The 2nd screenshot appears to have someone using a sonic attack while wearing a sonic shield. If that's a Sentinel this means a new Sonic Armor set. If that's a Blaster it means a new Sonic Manipulation set with a protection that resembles sonic shield. If that's a Corruptor or Defender it could mean some shields are now PBAoE that can be cast on self. Or maybe there's a new Sonic Mastery ancillary that any of the non Sentilens could use. (which means a 35+ is beating up Hellions in Atlas Park) The 1st screenshot makes me lean less towards costume pieces and more towards a new foe group that's an amalgamation of existing groups. Both Freakshow and Vazhilock are way into extreme body modification, so that seems like a natural collaboration. Though I don't know where the Tank with the Rikti pieces fits in.
  18. Dunno if you figured it out or someone messaged you, but for any Mac users... Go to your Applications folder (or where ever you have CoH.app installed) and right click on CoH.app, select "Show Package Contents" This will open the app like it's a folder. From there follow: drive_c\Program Files\coh If you have made any other mods before there will be a "data" folder. If there isn't one, create a new folder and name it "data" (no quotation marks, just the four letters in lowercase) From inside the data folder the mod location will depend on the type of mod. They follow a specific path that matches the way the pigg files are structured. Many of these mod downloads already have the nested folders starting with "data" so you just have to make it match. You can "merge" the data folder with yours by holding down alt/option while you drag the new data into drive_c\Program Files\coh\ and choose the "Merge" option.
  19. FYI it's the same as before. Only the folders "customwindows" and "fonts" have files in them. Everything else is a series of empty folders inside other folders. For example: sound > Ogg > Music_Source > Rave > "This folder is empty" https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1j6i88kbRTDNy_ZE5GQtqAbgbQ-mAdVQ2
  20. Hello. I appreciate all the work you put into this. I just checked the google drive folder you shared. Except for fonts and custom.window there don't appear to be any files there. Everything else is an empty folder nested inside other folders. Did you remove them, or are you planning on adding to them later?
  21. Yes. But my point was that getting hit doesn't automatically allow me to target whoever hit me the way that NPCs apparently can.
  22. If I hit a mob facing the other way with snipe and immediately duck behind something, that mob will immediately know where I am and have me auto targeted. Meanwhile, I'm flying through PI or FF and suddenly get half my hp knocked away and no clue where it came from. I'm on a team and need to sell/train between missions. I click on the map to make the store/trainer my waypoint and suddenly it disappears because the team leader picks the mission. That's okay, I'll bring up the map again and... oops leader picked another mission...
  23. I was able to get asymmetrical Spectrum on boots but not gloves.
  24. If you assume that "gliding" also allows you to catch and ride gusts of wind, then it could basically be a version of Jump Pack/Steam Jump but with no time limit and different animation. The effect is that you are still being pulled down by gravity, but can "jump" even in air to gain verticality (the head-cannon would be that you're angling to catch air and ride it up), and have slower decent and the ability to steer directions while falling. As for wall-crawling the closest is using a jump power near on one of the War Walls where the slight angle lets you shoot up. Before travel powers unlocked at 4, combat jumping on war walls was a fun way for a lowbie to get through dangerous zones. Motorcycles I think vehicles could be done using the transformation mechanics from kheldians and vet powers. Like, turn into a car model and get SS with slight jump. Or become a tank with no increase to speed but gain resistance and a single, target aoe attack. For the motorcycle, they would need to adapt the summoning animation for Bruiser and the rider would have to be standardized, like a Biker wearing a Paragon Protector helmet.
  25. @Number Six I just did and it worked! This is the first time I've ever gotten it to work from the Homecoming 32-Bit button on Island Rum!
