I'm really curious about the animations. I play other games and they're really reluctant to add new animations too, presumably due to the difficulty and time investment required.
I would very much like to know;
What file type are the animations? I guess they're non-standard because they're so old?
and
Although animations themselves might be difficult to change, would it be possible to change the speed of a selected section of an animation?

I know nothing 😞
I even got the Dark Astorias the wrong way around.

Reminds me of an old gaming group. Anytime someone mentioned “crazy as a shithouse rat” the shithouse rat anti defamation league sprang into action
And not before time. Shithouse rats have been under-represented because they got no dough, though, innit bro?

OK, there are a few threads that make me think I might not be the most ancient of days player on the Homecoming server.
Are you older than me? I just turned 58, which should mean I know better, but (to my surprise) that's not thing that actually happens. You don't get wiser, you just remember all the mistakes you made when you were younger. Then you pretend you are wiser to the youngsters.
Oops. Should have used the spoiler tag, but I can't figure out how to use it!
OK. so the oldest player wins
20 million inf from Yomo er,1 million inf from me, and a promise to team up with you any time you want, as long as it's not too far past my bedtime.Look at this big data farmer! Nice try, pal 😉

Men in Black because anytime any government agency shows up its going to be a bad time.
Men in suits are a great shout, so generic and ubiquitous! I mean, off the bat we're talking Agent Smith and his pals, (not Will Smith, but yes Will Smith), and The Turks of Final Fantasy 7.

RIP Lamont Dozier - this is a song from a playlist - there are waaaaaay too many songs to post here.. or are there? Use the Next button to see how many classics he was instrumental in creating...

Godiego - Birth Of The Odyssey (aka Monkey Magic)
(Side note: somewhere in my parents' house is an original BBC 45 single of this - for some obscure reason, the BBC bought it off NHK and showed it to happy kids and baffled parents as a Saturday teatime thing.)
I love both themes to Monkey. 🙂

Yeah, in WoW, it didn't take me long to figure out that I was too old for PvP. I mean, I was an "original gamer", going back to when PONG was the state of the art, but I never got into "twitch" games, or any of the fighting games. My first foray into PvP, I found myself getting slaughtered by somebody running circles around me, - II soon figured out that I was not up to competing against 14-year-olds who had much faster reflexes than me.
This saddens me. I think there's great scope for a game that can cater to the older gamer. Lest we forget, they have all the money!

farming is an ends to a means, and not the means itself, and as such, I have no interest in inviting "TestBot 40k" or any other low-effort names.

When I stumbled across this old game trailer on youtube, it reminded me of this thread.

That wasn't a valid argument when Steam's new UI was giving people migraines, and it ain't valid now either.
The only other time I've had audio problems remotely like this is the train emote in World of Warcraft, which both plays considerably louder than the rest of the game and stacks. Trolls would spam it and cried up a storm when the WoW devs took steps to fix the problem. Notice the pattern?
Nope. You'll have to elucidate.

Putting your hearing at risk is a strange way to put it. Surely, you have a volume control on your end of things? If not, there's a slider for that.
Ahhh, you need the volume high for the search ping? In that case, all the sounds would need to be modded individually, unless there were an individual slider for the search ping.

I've read the resumes of some of you guys in the volunteer forum.
I know we've got our fair share of cutting edge geniuses, geniii or whatever the word is. Have you guys done this with your characters yet?
Here is a video... AI is turning characters into realistic faces.
So how long before we get shader-like software (you know, it sits on top of your game, filtering it) that makes video game faces into realistic ones?

I like the powers in /TA but it feels...twangy. The animations and especially the sound effects just aren't satisfying to me.
I wonder if Solarverse got around to doing TA audio mod. The Archery Primary mod is great:

Always up for being able to choose animations (maybe my guy has Ice Spit powers ok?!) but I can't imagine that's not going to be a hell of a lot of work to rejigger the animation time of that one Poison spitting attack gesture to fit the 1.12 second cast time for Ice Bolt, or the 1.17 seconds cast time for Fire Bolt or the 1.23 seconds cast time for... you get the idea. But man, if they got that done? So cool.
Please note all numbers are imaginary.
So if alternate animations are so difficult, would a bunch of new Gun Powersets seem fitting, or should such Gun variety powersets also have other concepts tied in to differentiate them from the Magicians? If so, this seems like it would also take a considerable amount of extra time to produce.

My favorite mission arc is the Keith Nance doppelgänger one. My favorite *map* is the Frostfire finale one. I never tire of slippin’ around and skating down that ice ramp.
I wonder if it would be a lot of effort to generate new maps with those slidey elements on them? I mean... even if it's a unique feature of the Frostfire experience, surely by endgame there's no harm in a few more? Perhaps a little variety, no?

So, maybe I am out of my gourd. But I'm not out of Nectanabo's Gourd.
Who is Nectanabo? Is he/she/it a farmer? Do they grow gourds? I don't recall any CoT mission mentioning this Nectanabo. Is there a story arc I've missed out on?How does the game know it's Nectanabo's Gourd, and why is it telling you? Because it wants you to travel back to 342BC and return the Gourd. For some reason.... a reason that could change HISTORY ITSELF!111

I was cobbling together yet another pulp Rocketeer-a-like character and I wondered ...
I feel rather limited to guns and such. I don't feel like it's feasible to put something like Ice Control on him. Because the Ice Control animations look he's like a magician waving his arms in the air like that.
So I thought ... what if the powers came from a gun?
Then I was thinking what is a powerset? I mean... what's the determining thing?Originally the powersets seem to have been simple elements: Fire, Ice, Earth.. then it got complicated. Now we've got a situation where each individual weapons is supposedly it's own powerset (let's not talk about bean bags and flamethrowers not being Assault Rifles here).
What constitutes a powerset? I feel like "Ice" is super-vague and puts a block on the creation of non-magician ice-oriented powersets, such as Ice Rifle.
But maybe that's not the way the developers would see an alternative to what I've described here as Magician Ice. What if they see the alternative as the same powersets but with weapons and weapon-animations instead (which was my initial desire).
What do you think?
Choosing a building for a base.

I thought of this a while back, too. I really like the idea, but it seems like a more complex thing than I originally thought.
Apart from anything else, you've got the player choosing something in the gameworld - how is that manifest? My thought would be a special one-off temp power that costs X inf at the p2w person.
Also, imagine it's Halloween... trick or treaters are clicking your base door all day. Are you? When you do it, do you get teleported to your supergroup base instead?
