Whut?

 

New account with a single post thats absolutely off topic on a post necro'd from over a year.  Ignore it.

[Thermal Radiation - Alternate Shield Graphics]

Im for alot of the minimum FX options.  Im also for individuals using existing options to solve issues.  There is a suppress FX when close and its distance can be adjusted.  Also lowering settings in general.

 

If its a computer performance or medical issue,  either of the options above should solve it.

[Ice Armor / Icicles]

Seems this had alot of back and forth.  I dont see the problem with having an icicle do lethal and cold damage.  They get poked and cold hurts some more.

[What is Schedule of Hami and MSR on Torchbearer?]

Oh we have a calendar.  Ill have to try and show up for some stuff.

[Disappearing influence]

If you typo'd the global and sent it to someone else then all you can do is hope that they send it back.  In the future send an email from the second account to the first and reply to that so u know its going to the right place.

[New Here wondering if CoV is back up as well]

You can select hero/villian when creating a character if you skip the tutorial.  For tutorials choose outbreak to become a hero and breakout to become a villain.  Galaxy city allows you to choose hero/villain during the tutorial.  Choosing Going Rogue makes you a praetorian - i recommend not doing this for your first character.

 

Also characters can change alignment after they are created through ingame missions or an ingame npc inside pocket d.

[Level perks change suggestion]

Just 1 more and 2 more slots means just 1 and 2 more set bonuses.  I have characters that needed just 1 more slot for their build and im not for any additional slots.

 

I was upset with the early nerfs that changed our super heroes into just heroes.  Then sets and set bonuses were added and we could be super again with some effort.

 

Now with incarnate abilities available to everyone its even easier.  And plain old xp unlocks all of the incarnate slots.

 

Players are plenty powerful now and if there is content coming thats difficult for +3 incarnates then i welcome it.  Because if 'difficult' means controllers hold a boss and support sets actually get used and everything isnt an AoE faceroll then it means the devs are making new flavors of candy.  Not the same flavor repackaged over and over. 

[Beam Rifle Glitch - Beam Animation fires from floating point 2-3 feet away from rifle barrel.]

This is a feature.  Ninjas are so quick that they actually move the rifle to their knees and fire,  then stand back up.

[Any new system, update or new costume pieces coming soon? I think its needed]

I think some npc costume pieces remain npc only for several reasons.  Sometimes they are busy doing other things and havent gotten around to it.  Some costume pieces dont work like they appear to work,  i think the sybil robes are a belt. Some npc are meant to keep their unique looks - tyrant for a signature npc and the freakshow for an enemy group are examples.  I do expect there will be more costume pieces released in the future but i expect some pieces will always be npc exclusive.

wth is aphasia?

 

Its what the federation uses to shoot romulans.

[Purple drops. Anyone else see a change?]

We had 2 purples drop in our eden trial.

 

I was lucky enough to get a lvl 50 heal/absorb recipie.

[Entering Peregrine PPD station is borking PoV]

It doesnt happen every time to me.  Ive attempted different ways to cause or prevent it from happening but havent found anything.  It comes up in chat occasionally and i tell them to exit to desktop and relaunch.  As its the same for everyone that every character is borked at that point and nothing ingame will fix it.

[Missing Beacon in DA Repeatables]

Not just NPCs.  I leave the area in search of the nearest bacon also.

[Make your own title]

If it was something like adding stars to a player that only you could see.  So not that you add it yourself but if there was an extra box in edit note that gave you like 20 characters of 'display note'. 

 

Then anyone could have whatever short title in addition to the stars that nobody else can see.

 

I could be '2 star TheZag - dies alot' to 1 person and '5 star TheZag - uber leetsauce' to someone else. 

 

Not that i would use it,  since i dont even use the note or star system.  But maybe its easy enough to add in for people that would make use of it.

[Make your own title]

Right click them and choose edit note.  Then u can give them a rating of 1-5 stars.  Several players i know use the stars to identify players since all their alts get the same star rating.  Checking the note also shows their global name as well as all of their alts that you have seen.

 

1 star - trash attitude player, dont team with this person.

 

2 star - neutral team experience, would team again.

 

3 star - good team experience

 

4 star - good non SG friends

 

5 star - all the SG

 

Then anyone you see with 5 stars you will know they are in your SG but just on an alt.

[farm requests]

Theres certainly a server population component involved in how many are asking for farms.  In my short periods on excel in support of a friends event,  the chat is flying by and i cant wait to get back on to torch.

 

I wouldnt have an official channel made though.  LFG is for exactly that.  Even when its not a group im trying to join.

[Boots Halved]

An xl8's costume wishlist thread would work great and just edit as you add more.  I would be able to look them over more quickly at least.

 

And i dont disagree with a pattern option that is a 50/50 over/under on compatible boot designs.

[This should really go under the Archetypes but I'm not sure which one]

The hidden forum: select archtypes and scroll down past all the subforums.  I was suprised the first time i found that archtypes had a 'general' forum in the basement.  

 

For that combo i would go corruptor.  Debuffs tend to be so good that you dont need a boost as a defender or so bad that the boost is hardly anything.

[Triage Beacon (AKA that traps power everyone skips)]

Also taking a power is much different then using a power in this City of Set Bonuses.

 

I took triage beacon back in the day to use it.  Now if i take it, its mostly because i want a certain bonus without taking a pool power.

[Lambda Pacification Grenades]

I pass them out at the hami raid that happens after the LAM.  I would need them to not disappear 🙂

[Wrong nav point in Port Oakes]

53 minutes ago, Apparition said:

This has been an issue since CoV beta in summer 2005.  I don't expect it to get resolved soon, if ever, as it's a sixteen year-old issue at this point.

 

In just a few years this bug will be old enough to drink.

[Add a Matrix Room to Port Oakes]

Indeed,  my original no was because it isnt visible from the outside (no bounding box).  Its doors are visible if you get very close but i couldnt see anything else and the /stuck method from live bypasses the matrix room and places you inside the arena.

[Incorrect mob marker on map]

Dont let the green arrow fool you.  Hes actually an enemy.

[A few problematic power-related things-- for me, anyway.]

I like the powers in a set that are different from other sets for an archtype.  I dont need fire blast reskinned 5 times and named different.

[stuck on last mission (?) of Harvey Maylor's arc]

As others have stated,  if the hunt mission doesnt specify a zone, then you can complete it while inside a mission.  The problem comes from the hunt missions that immediately start a door mission without having you return to contact.  This attempts to generate a mission door inside the current map,  which leaves you stranded when you attempt the mission later.

 

Id suggest a 're-generate mission door' be added to the game along side the autocomplete option,  but i dont know if thats even possible with the games code.
