baster

Anything that sucks up, steals or debuffs your endurance. I dislike having to even remember end is part of the game, so ya it's frigging Franken annoying.

Here is your proof. Once man said, speed of sound can not be broken. It is a blasphemy to even propose such a thing. Another man said, we'll my friend perhaps today that is true, but surly tomorrow it might be possible. And then........ It is not the closed minded, short sited pessimists and nay sayers that move humanity forward and push boundaries beyond what vast majority think possible but rather the open minded dreamers that dare to think for themselves inspite any and all tribal preasures trying to hold them back.

Wow talk about radical generation woke

Nah, im at work and only get to play 1 week/month so I have nothing to do but dream and annoy people meanwhile.

Thank you for writing that up and giving us an overview of what that looks like right now. In my opinion CoH 2 is not only possible but inevitable as are many other popular past and present games. I see a day in the near future say 5-10-15 years from now when AI is sophisticated enough that an average gamer will be able to direct such a AI from the comfort of his own basement to write a code for such game at a minute fraction of the cost. What you all think about that?.

Nothing has 0% of being possible. Secondly, I would recreate CoH forbadom just with updated graphic etc.. and than expand on it.

For starters new graphics engine, more sophisticated AI, populated cities with a lot more stuff happening. Sky scrapers and other landmarks taken over by various bad guy groups that need clearing with raid bosses on top floors. Consolidate some power sets such as katana&bs in to 1 set and develop several new ones. Balanced fun&rewarding pvp system etc....., etc...

As the title says. What do you all think.are the chances of CoH 2 ever being made and what will it take to get it off the ground? I have no backround in any programming, game development or any such a start-up. I'm merely a player and enthusiast of CoH. It would be great to hear from people in the gaming bussiness, software bussiness or any related fields. Is there any possibility to use kick starter or any similar platform to make this happened maybe?

Sounds good, I give that a try at some point as well. I like seismic primary a lot so definitely will roll with few different secondaries eventually and which jives best for me. Ty.

Revamp the graphic and officially relaunch the game as free to play buy charge $20/month for 50% more exp and influance buff etc...

Played my widow and it was horrid experience untill lvl 24. Felt very underwhelming and I nearly dropped him. Once I spent Fortunata holy bologna a totally different experience, suddenly it became my favorite AT. Suggestion stick with it, dont solo. Tras are very easy to find for just about any content of ant level. People advertise in broadcast and LFG channels constantly in peak hours.

Hell no. I just started playing couple months ago and only have time to play 1 week/month. You want to make things more expensive for your own benefit, what about all the new players like myself?

Playing Seismic/TIME blaster right now. Currently in the 30s, absolutely love this thing. It's a beast and fun as he'll. Only have IOs atm. Can't wait to get to 50 and farm out the best I can get for it. This defenitly my favorite AT from the 30+ i have so far. 0 50s at the moment.

If pvp isn't you thing then you can just level up a trade skill and be a guild dedicated blacksmith , carpenter, tailor etc.. and sell excess items via your owne vendor you have set up at a house you owne in UOO. And if UOO isn't your thing then WoW might be a good choice, as you can just dedicate yourself to pve and never have to engage in any pvp.

You like CoH you will most likely like Ultima Online Outlands, hard-core pvp open world, sandbox you not pigeon holed in to say template, you can create any abomination you like. Ofcourse sone are more viable that others.

I don't yet have a 50 as I only get to play 6 days per month. However I noticed so far with the few mid to high 30s that I do have I tend to gravitate to playing the ones with the most manageable endurance, smoother rotations and appealing combat animations. One other criteria that can't seem to get away from is they must be tough and able to absorb punishment which is why I have more brutes on the go that any other archetype, and by a larg margin. For every 10 ATs created 8 are brutes.

If you do get bored go try Ultima Online Outlands. Open World Sandbox. You can even be a thief and steel players loot from their bag, including their spell book, weapons, armor etc.. hahaha

Nostalgia for sure. Ton of very cool power sets Combat animations Combat sounds Addicted to making crap ton of new ATs Graphics are actually not bad at all, especially for game this old. I'm guessing you didn't set them up right because when I logged in here first couple of months ago I though it looked so bad, it nearly made me quite the game. First thing is set your world detail and character detail from 100% all the way to 200%, than enable improved graphics and max out all options there. You should see big improvement. The starting cave quest in Atlas is still horrendous. They need to fix this ASAP as well as set the default game graphics much higher..I'm guessing this will help with new player retention.

Reading this thread inspired s general idea. Add some % HP heal in to health. Keep the slow ticks but add the ability to click the heath skill and heal for say: 30% of your total HP on a 2 minute cooldown for all ATs when 3 sloted. 30% endurance recharge when 3 sloted on a 1 minute cooldown. Remove endurance cost from sprint.

Mounted combat 2H weapon inherent special procs Full loot system upon death Can become red murderer status if you kill enough innocent which is a small number actually to go red. Very, very good old school game that provides a feeling of satisfaction when you accomplish things, even as simple as getting your skills to grand mater status which takes a bit of time and effort

All though i haven't played SS since live i think you guys are right, it might be time to update that iconic set: rework or replace Rage, improve AoE damage on stomp and add moderate damage to ✋️ clap More radical idea would be to strip all class sets and move them in to 1 large pool and let people create their owne hero with whatever powers they see fit, only limited by their overall class powers such as, controllers can only pick controller powers not meele or blaster powers etc.. So you could pick powers from say: Earth PSI Plant Fire Etc.... and combined them togheder to create a controller of your liking and imagination.

Nothing wrong with using an AI, it's a great tool for many things, and it would be unwise to not use best tools one has at its disposal to complete any task in the most efficient, best, most cost/brainpower effective way possible. However as you said, it still takes human imagination, creative thought process and the ability to direct the AI in a thoughtful effective manner for it to produce your desired results. Once agein, we'll done 👍 👍

One of the best most engaging games I have played. With unique pvp.

The Infernal Hellions are not your old street punks. They are fire-worshipping zealots who embraced a ritual of self-immolation and were reborn as devilish hybrids under the guidance of their dark matriarch, Inferna Regina. Every one of them chose this path—making them terrifyingly devoted. They blend the reckless chaos of the original Hellions with the structured cruelty of infernal military discipline. Combining Circle of Thorns-style summoning with Hellion-style flame aggression, they aim to transform Earth into a plane of fire and devotion. They literally seek to create Hell on Earth. 🔥 Hierarchy & Structure 👑 Archvillain: Inferna Regina Archetype: Fire Control / Dark Blast / Leadership Aura Abilities: Emberheart Sigil (AoE Confuse/Control) Charm of the Flamebound (mass Dominate-style Hold) Covenant of Ashes (mass Heal + Rez allies) Hellfire Queen Aura (team-wide +ToHit, +DMG aura) Tactics: Summons elite flame spirits; buffs all nearby Flamebound; devastating in groups Visuals: Volcanic red succubus-derived armor, long horns, glowing infernal runes across her skin, floating, 🔥 Elite Bosses (Inferna Regina's Named Lieutenants – appear rarely) 1.

The only lag i noticed thus far is a server lag during peak time in some areas. Im guessing your issues might be relatedto your: Internet connection CPU or GPU throttling Outdated or corrupted drivers Game files corruptrd Insufficient or faulty RAM or Storage disk
