  1. Theres alot of pages i skipped so forgive me if my idea on a rage rework is the same as someone elses.

     

    I think rage should be similar to the hybrid so it starts with a low damage buff and increases as you attack more.  It would stack up to 5 times,  im thinking 10-15% for each stack.  Stacks can expire if you arent attacking often enough,  maybe 5-10 seconds without attacking drops a stack or each only lasts for 20ish seconds so you need to keep attacking.  "But Zag,  thats less damage buff then it has now."   Well yes,  but let me finish.

     

    At 5 stacks you are fully enraged and your single target attacks have a good chance to do extra smashing damage to your primary target and nearby targets.  Hurl would have 100% chance for the effect since in full rage mode pulling a literal boulder from under ground should hit more then 1 target.  Foot stomp is pretty good already so im not sure if it should get more AoE but hand clap should probably have a high chance for the proc damage.

     

    The bonus damage to the primary target should be tuned to put the total damage over the duration fairly close to what players get from rage now.  The splash damage would be an increase to overall damage but i dont feel it is out of line since most players want SS buffed but cant agree on how it should be done.

     

    I dont think the crash portion should be a thing anymore in my version of rage since it requires active player involvement.  And if the double rage stackers are required to be catered to,  then adjust the numbers as necessary. 

     

     

  2. Overall i consider the badge more difficult to obtain now since you have to be online, travel to kings row and find the construction site in less then 5 minutes.  All that assuming that you have event messages turned on in the first place.

     

    I did manage to find it 1 time since i was messing around in kings row when it started but i was too late one other time and in another group the other times ive seen the message.

     

    Im definitely looking forward to whatever rework they have planned since the original design is underwhelming.   

  3. I personally would like to see some more content added that isnt possible to just faceroll through.  Sappers used to be scary,  now they are kinda just there.  When something challenging gets added,  the players call for a nerf.  When players solo +4x8 and you try and do a team with 8 players,  its basically +4×1.  I like to team up with my friends but once theres more then 4 people,  the difficulty doesnt mean anything anymore.

  4. While im not opposed to the idea,  as i think about it i keep coming up with more problems that would need to be solved.

     

    First is just all the new animations.  Or do characters just use their standing animation.  But can i use kicking and flipping moves from the carpet?  

     

    Some powers dont work while in the air but do work if flying close to the ground.  Would i foot stomp the carpet and rocket board?  Or do the powersets that look wierd need to be disabled from selecting these options.

     

    The team wants to put out quality and complete content so while it would be cool to see this idea implemented,  if it were to happen it would have to be restricted from several powersets.

  5. I havent tried to ignore anyone yet so i didnt know local ignore wasnt a thing anymore.  Back on the live servers someone was ignoring almost everyone that said something.  I said ignore me too and they did.  Several weeks later and on another character from the same account i realized i was teamed with that same person.  They were actually very nice and i asked if they had my first character on ignore,  which they did.  Turned out they were having a bad day back then and CoH chat took the bulk of it and then they removed my other character from ignore.

     

    So the too long, didnt read is: 

     

    Yes, local ignore used to exist on live.

  6. I was on an ITF and our team had 13 deaths.  I was on my ice/storm corruptor and accounted for 12 of the deaths.  Probably the most fun ive had since ive been back.  The rest of the team had fun also and the 2 emps were probably working harder then they ever had.  I think they made a rez macro to target me.

  7. I believe it all goes back to original hamidon with 100 people and 'old' computers.  The drop in framerate was absolutely massive for alot of players to the point where we had to make an all spandex costume with no cape or aura and no group stealth for the hamidon raids.

     

    This did translate to lower numbers back on live as players were lagging out and tanks with 5fps were trying to pull rikti into the bowl.

     

    Most computers from the last 10 years have no trouble running the game on very high settings but old habits die hard and the 'turn off stealth auras' is one if them.  But with all the other buffs flying around,  if its helping someones framerate,  ill turn mine off.  Even if its just so we can see our characters better.

    though I don't know the nature of your exploit report to gauge it against.

     

    I cant post how on the forum.  But you know how some players call hamidon a watermelon?  It turns him into pretty much an actual watermelon that just sits there and doesnt shoot.

     

    I reported how through the ingame support to keep it off the forum.  I believe it wasnt considered game breaking because they figured that players were unlikely to use it.  I was all excited too thinking i was about to get the badge.

  9. Being on follow with an attack on auto is sorta 'best case dual box' scenario.  1 active and 1 afk account from the same IP would make it difficult to convince someone that u arent dual boxing on a hami raid.

    I'm now curious. My wife and I play together (when the Tyrant in Pants let's us). If we were to do a Hami raid would we get the same message? 

     

    If she has you on follow with a single attack on auto and doesnt do anything else, then yes.  (But someone would probably have to report you first,  its not automatic)

     

    2 characters moving independently and doing different attack chains and they can figure it out that there are actual humans behind each character.

  11. I recently had an issue with my cpu cooler going bad.  The framerate dropped quite a bit when moving around.  I replaced it and it was almost like getting a new computer.  

     

    If you have a cpu temp monitor i suggest checking to see if you are getting thermal throttling.
