  1. Let us be clear, you dont know what I know, what I have done (eg look at code) and it would be best if you didnt speculate. If you want to disagree with me, great, I fully support open discussion, provided everyone can be polite and refrain from what comes off as attacking.
  2. The War Walls - they bug the [Redacted] out it me in their current form. I am not saying remove or change the zone boundaries. I am saying change them. 1) Reduce the base of the in Paragon walls to a much smaller, lower, structure - perhaps even upgrade them with Praetorian Sonic Tech. 2) Make them invisible unless up close like the Rogue Isles (and other places), or at least reduce how visible they are a lot. 3) Improve the assets/geometry behind the war walls. There is already some stuff back there - improve it to look better, but being behind the force field not visible unless close like the war wall it's self to not impact game performance.
  3. I would enjoy seeing a Psychokinetic Blasts set. Telekinetic Thrust: Ranged, Minor Damage, 25% chance to KD - Smashing/energy A bolt of pure telekinetic energy strikes the target Telekinetic Crush: Ranged Moderate, DOT, 50% chance to mag 2 immob - Smashing/energy Similar to the Gravity power Crush Pyrokinetic blast: Ranged Targeted AOE, Moderate damage, DOT - Smashing/Fire Similar to fire ball from fire in effect - animated as a large disk of fire appearing centered on the target Cryokinetic Storm: Ranged Location AOE, minor DOT, Slow, chance to KD - Smashing/Cold Large Hail Stones raining down on the area over time. Psionic Blast: Cone, moderate damage, 50% chance to KD - Smashing/Psyonic Cone of mixed Psychic and Telekinetic energy originating from caster Clairvoyance: Toggle, +to hit, +perception, +damage (Targeting Drone type effect) The character's eyes begin to glow with white fire Telekinetic Blades: Ranged, High Damage - Lethal/energy Multiple blades of pure telekinetic force shoot out at the target Cryokinetic Shard: Sniper, extreme - Lethal/Cold Freeze a large icicle out of thin air and propel it with extreme force at the target. Snipe version should have a bigger icicle then the fast cast. PolyKinetic Storm: PBAE, extreme DOT - Smashing/Lethal/Fire/Cold/Energy Bringing to mind all of their abilities the caster creates a swirling tornado of fire, ice, and pure telekinetic energy centered on themselves. Animations should be similar to grav control for the telekinetic powers. Pyro/Cryo similar to the fire/ice sets. Polykinetic storm would need a new animation. I'd enjoy seeing a telekinetic holds, and telekinetic melee set too.
  4. Does it have any impact on animation size -- which like character size could be both fixed and dynamic? I am guessing not but still I wonder.
  5. From my personal experience the only t9 that needs work is Photon Seekers. They are usable and have their uses but mostly as a mini nuke or a cast it and run into combat nuke.
  6. As my PB slowly makes his way to 50 I've been looking at sets and counting merits. Boy I need a lot more merits/money. 🙂 I saw a thread about Essence Transfer, how the heal proc only works for the slotted power. I can deal with that. What does the special in Kheldian's Grace do? Do you need to slot it in Nova or Dwarf or will any power work to mule it? Any other sets or specific IOs I should be looking at?
  7. Electric/Electric Zot, zap, boom followed by lightning rod - muhahahaha all the way
  8. It would be nice to have an option at Icon while working on a costume to output it as a 3d file. No doubt there are issues, the need to code it for example and NC getting on board. More and more games are adding the ability to 3d print so maybe there is an api they can get the code for? We can hope.
  9. I have the Power Transfer Chance to Heal in White Dwarf on my PB which is a 'mini' stamina power. While in White Dwarf form it does intermittently proc for a plus heal. I expect the same would happen in Stamina. If this is valuable or best for your build I do not know. 🙂
  10. I prefer to believe I was under cover double crossing Soroco. I dont have Mace on any of my characters.
  11. For me a rebuild is exactly the same name and same primary/secondary. My main-main is 50 again but not yet tier 4 with his alpha. in the old COH I had 4 servers maxed out for characters and only ever got 3 to 50. My first 50 is again 50, my second new 50, is a guy I had wished I'd gotten to 50 the first time. My soon to be 3rd 50 is also a remake -- that said I have plenty of other characters that are new ideas and new power sets.
  12. Much better question to ask: Who did NOT remake their main, or, any old characters?
  13. This and get a merit from time to time
  14. I expect I am in a minority close to 1 in missing travel powers being available at level 14. It makes Paragon City bigger and gives you a much larger appreciation of the city streets, growing up, gaining power and has a certain feel to advancement that is now lost. I played a controller to 50 first starting in Issue 1. From before Controllers got the big damage buffs (more base damage plus containment). Back then the base duration for all control effects was twice what it is now and had half the base recharge. You moved slowly through mobs but mobs didnt move unless you have permission. Perma stun with FlashFire + Fire Cages was a real thing.
  15. I would expect anything captured from the Live servers to be fair game too. But sounding like nothing out there. Oh well.
  16. Hopefully not a TOS issue please let me know if so. Anyone know where I can find some Zoom usable Looping or still shots that are work appropriate? If from the Before Times good too.
  17. Honestly I'd like to see COH go monthly with a cash shop again. With NCSoft getting a small/nominal percentage of the net profits. As say, the Franchise owner. In fact I would like to offer to be an employee in that case. Bring in more money - proper and legit, keep NCSoft in the loop so that they dont take a reputation hit and are this interested giving Homecoming free reign. The work done so far, patches, etc are all awesome - compared to what they could be - a Modern DX 12, OGL 4.4, or Vulkan 1.2 based engine would not just have better eye candy it would do the work much faster.
  18. /IMO /Grain_of_Salt /Soapbox_stand_on NCSoft has gained and is likely to gain more community good will through this project. This has value. So long as this does not lose money or cause reputational harm or become a PITA for the corporation (someone else making money with your product is losing money to a corp) NCSoft is in a plus situation even if negotiations are dragged out forever not getting yes is in this case not the same as getting no. /soapbox_end
  19. I like my Fire/Storm/Leviathan Controller and my Fire/Storm Corrupter both of which operate on an elemental/magic theme.
  20. COH does not play well with others in Win 10, it didnt in earlier versions of Windows either. If one is only playing sound from COH it works ok, however, when you want to watch a movie on the second monitor, play Pandora (or whatever), -or- use Discord or some other 'Coms' the sound system rises up much like a cobra spreading it's hood and begins spiting poison everywhere. Specifically getting the volume correct in COH to be able to hear Discord (or whatever) involves trying to set sound volumes in game to about 1-3% (and never seemingly the same percent day to day) - while at those percent not all sounds quite the same leaving me having to adjust back and forth depending if I am solo or grouped with friends, watching TV etc.
  21. I am pretty sure I had a couple in Live but dont remember for sure. In Homecoming as yet I have no character where I have taken it all and one character.
  22. So nice to have Mids up and current. For us old ppl with only 20/20 vision and large 4k monitors can an option be added to increase the window size/scale? I am hoping to avoid changing the resolution of my monitor or use the windows scaling option as both cause other issues. The text is a bit small to read otherwise.
