I think people say the game is too easy because the difficulty curve is less of a curve and more like a cliff. It goes from easy to impossible very quickly and thats just in the very few areas where it ever goes past easy. Player HP would probably need to triple and healing/regen/defense/resist would need a nerf or rebalance to get player health bars to spend less time at 100% or 0%. I would like to see more proliferation of the hard mode settings. I prefer to challenge my characters by having challenging enemies and not by removing power from my characters. I have tried it a few times though with enemies buffed, player debuffed and enhancements have no effect and it felt like back when the game was new where 2 white minions could mean death for your character. I was running scared from 3 blue minions. So existing challenge settings have their place but having some settings to challenge the build we have made instead of turning it off would also be nice.

The best bet would probably be blender. Its free and open source but doesnt work with city of heroes. It can have custom add-ons though so it potentially could have an add-on written that adds support for the CoH file format. That is outside my skillset and probably would be much harder to make it work than this post would lead people to believe.
-
My tour through the googles said that .anim files are viewable and editable through unity or can be ran through a converter and then edited with blender. Then there are tools to record the blender animation back into .anim files to run in unity. I can only assume the resulting files arent compatible with City of Heroes or that the Devs arent allowed to use that process. Its very possible that 2023 .anim files dont follow the same format as 2004 ones but im not a file extension historian.

Officially Unofficial Weekly Discussion #35: Binds and Macros
TheZag replied to SeraphimKensai's topic in General Discussion
I have a few macros but they are mostly for dropping click location powers on my target directly instead of having to click the power and then click the ground. Its also useful for hitting flying targets or teleporting with location click powers when the target isnt at max range. I only use a bind on 1 character so i can have 2 powers on 'auto'. Its a dominator and pressing 'w' moves my character forward as well as switching the auto cast power from hasten to domination and then back to hasten on the next forward press. Its not perfect, especially when fighting high hp targets, but it gets the job done and does it without me having to think about it. -
I highly doubt any location based discrimination was done purposefully, if at all. My guess would be the ISP on the websites hop off the continent has something blocked that the event calendar is using, assuming that Impervium is correct with his investigation. To add 1 more to the small sample, it works for me and i am in the US.

Just when i get used to the new reactions, most are gone. Jambalaya, Estonia and radio are similar enough to ramen, Bulgaria and television. Drop love letter and bring satellite back. And all the replaced reactions are gone from the posts, how am i supposed to remember everyone that i was satellite-ing ?
-
You're only level 2, reroll as Esto the Estonian.

Make sure npc chat is enabled on one of your chat tabs or you wont see their chat bubbles in cut scenes. It doesnt have to be visible but it does need to be active on at least 1 tab.

The line that used to be in her bio that said she served Cole in all capacities didnt help. I think that line is gone now. Thats the problem with text though, one persons innocent comment is another persons dirty joke.

The 2004 screenshot of BaB has a much lighter skin tone. I remember ingame after seeing the change and thinking 'oh, they made him black' as he had always looked hispanic or having the perfect tan in the earlier iteration.
-
Swan had that feather thing added. Bastion was renamed to Citadel to avoid legal concerns. I think Ms Liberty got her belt later as well as Mynx getting her emblem. BaB skin tone change was probably the most noticable. Its mostly a bunch of little changes, usually costume additions, to the characters.

Maybe i have it backwards then and keybind makes them talk and macro works. Or it could just have been user error that i drew a conclusion from. Ill have to check when i get home, i havent played my MMs in awhile.
-
If they made that an option, i wouldnt mind. But in the meantime, there are a few ways to shut up the demon pets. You can use a mod to replace their taunt sound with one that is much quieter or silent. Silencing their idle sound will also silence their taunt since they use the same file. This would be an automatic solution though. I think you can use a keybind for /petsayall <em emote> That would give you a 1 button press to get them doing something quiet but its not automatic like the request is asking for. You can use a macro for a clicky button but it takes a bit of a different process. The macro command needs to be "beginchat /petsayall <em emote>". That will paste the line into your chat and then you need to hit enter. Trying to use the macro to directly use a pet emote will make the pets actually say <em emote> instead of doing the emote. This option lets you have 1 emote ready to go with just a click and press of enter or you can edit what emote is used without having to type out the entire command.

You want only 1 now, and the posts above are how to get rid of them on the original expandable bar. The extras in the corner should be removable by right clicking in some of the empty space near the bars number. But by the time you are lvl 32, you will probably want one of them back and by 50 you will wish you can fit everything on less than 5 bars.

I think its just meant to be shading but looks like someone clicked the wrong shade of gray back during development.
-
Thats an entirely different system and multiple different systems at that. They would have to make the computer version and multiple phone versions. I can only imagine touch screen controls on a small screen would suck in addition to the game only getting updates every 2 years since they would have to code it 4 times. And that the devs might not even be trained on developing for phones.

Consistent " Rubberbanding " the last few days

I think only reunion is housed on a server in another location (europe). The rest are all in north america somewhere. -
Consistent " Rubberbanding " the last few days
TheZag replied to Heatstroke's topic in General Discussion
Ah. Well to expand on my answer then, excel gets problematic on occasion with the volume of players that use the server. Unless its a problem on one of the hops that your connection follows on its way to the homecoming server and back. Your connections with other games and services may be unaffected if there is only a problem on that one route. -

Replace Ms. Liberty as the Atlas Park trainer.
TheZag replied to Star Light's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I guess some dont consider Ms Liberty's spot as the atlas park trainer as iconic. She was the first signature NPC that most players met and the trainer that many people went to when they dinged 50. Moving her because she is in multiple places at once is an incredibly flimsy reason in a video game. They cant have her as the trainer from 8:30 AM till 3 PM on Mondays through Thursday, in Fort Trident from 3:30 PM till 7 PM on the same days and over in Independence Port on the weekends but in none of those places during the Valentines event. Role players should have the easiest time making up a reason as to why she is in multiple places at the same time (see above) not a difficult time. Clearly for gameplay purposes she needs to be at each location full time because she needs to be available to the players. Removing one of the most iconic characters from what is likely the most iconic location in a 19 year old game that many people play for nostalgia would probably be one of the most disrespectful things the current devs could do to CoH. -
I wouldnt enjoy +movement speed. I turn off sprint most of the time because my toons move around too quick. Im sure that im in a minority opinion here but i cant turn off fury so i would have to play my brutes less. It could be the change that brutes need overall but 1 persons buff may very well be someone elses nerf.

U guys have helped a ton. This is how im going now Ramen : stand in for popcorn when threads get 'fun' to read. Also for when someone talks about food or when i want some food. Bulgaria : alot of flexibility here, your post is potentially controversial, i like your post, i dont like your post television : i see your post, its a fun read, show me more accordion : stand in for the worlds smallest violin Domingator : you have won the internets Satellite : im watching you (big brother style - but in a joking, non illegal sort of way)
