Solarverse

Interesting. One thing I have noticed is that from time to time, versions that I have recorded as being the latest version are somehow changed in the CoH Modder Tool. Example: Every so often I make notes on what latest versions I have available and then I update my page accordingly. A couple of weeks later I will go to update them again and notice that the versions I had previously recorded have changed to look something like this... Solarverse's Updated Mod List Week 1 Terminator SFX Mod (v11) Week 3 Terminator SFX Mod (v8) Even though I had on 1 week recorded a version of (v11) I will go to update again two weeks later and find that what used to be (v11) had been changed to (v8) I just chalked it up to human error and left it at that. However, since you are asking me if I have noticed anything out of the ordinary, that's all I got for you. I have not changed my methods of uploading new mods or my methods of updating mods. I just think it is more likely to happen to me because I do it more often and make new mods more often than most others. As far as that mod specifically, no...I don't recall anything being out of place or different with that specific mod. I did change the notes on it though. Maybe that is what caused it? I don't usually change the notes of a Mod when I update it, but this one I did change the notes on. That could have something to do with it. Also, as a side note: What if we want to change the name of a Mod? That particular mod covers more than just Thermal now, it actually covers all AoE Heals. Is there a way to change the name of a Mod without getting you involved?

They don't in my opinion. However, I am just going by the pattern I have seen and I assume there is a hell of a lot more coding involved when you have all of the AT's have different mechanics with their relative power sets. Trust me, I was one of those people who preferred certain power sets be exclusive to the AT they started on. However, that was done away with, so if we could give each AT their own mechanic with their relative power sets I would be thrilled. I just don't see it being feasible due to the extra coding and the minimal volunteer Dev Team.

This probably does not belong here, but the only issues I have with any of the new content were the character animations used for Sonic Manipulation. I think they really picked some very weak animation for a DPS Class. Most of those animations are more fitting for Controlling or Defender Classes and match soft control abilities. Even the Melee Attacks look extremely weak, the AoE Damage ability looks like he is casting an AoE Buff, not a Damage power...very very poor animations and it completely turns me off from the set. I am also not a fan at all in how Dark Melee was handled for Melee characters or Blasters. I feel like Death Shroud should have been the +Regen +Recovery for Blasters and it should have been given a PBAoE +Recharge per NPC in Melee Range for Scrappers, Tanks and so forth. I think they should have went with the Teleport AoE for Dark Consumption like they originally talked about and then (because Stalkers could not get that option) give Stalkers a chance to proc an AoE version of Midnight Grasp if they so chose to! All of which I brought up on the Testing phase. So, do I think the Devs were perfect in how the implemented things? No, I do not. However, I not only pointed out my specific issues with what has been released, but I also did not use words like, "most people" or words like, "rushed out content" to make my case. I provided what I took issue with and how I would personally have handled it to keep it constructive rather than taking stabs at the Devs. I provided feedback that they can actually look at and discuss for a possible future update rather than making the Devs my personal whipping boy. So that would be my personal gripe about the patch that I did actually bring up during testing but I also kept it constructive. So when making a gripe about something it often helps to keep it constructive to show that you have actual reasons behind your gripe and possible solutions.

Hahaha, too funny! I had to enlarge it to see that it was the world's smallest violin! I thought it was a tiny red hot pepper, lol.

Hahahahaha! Just noticed your Sig...too f***ing funny, man! I love it! 😆

Okay, I take it back, I guess it was just a one time fluke. I can't seem to replicate it at all. I should have done more testing before posting and I jumped the gun. Sorry for that.

Funny as hell to think about, but I don't think I'll be doing that, lol.

And leaves a sad country song playing on your stereo to boot as it drives away...right before you PC goes BOOM!

Not to be a jerk or anything, but you had soooo much time to add in your input before it went live. The time to heap praise, poke holes and point out blunders was ages ago. Please elaborate. I honestly have no idea what this implies and instead of making assumptions as to what this means, I would rather you explain further. You got to be careful saying, "but mostly what many didn't want" without having statistics to back it up. I have made statements similar to this and even though in my mind I speak truth when making such statements, it's a statement that requires evidence to back up. From my perspective, most people did want those changes and even welcomed them. However, this is just from my perspective and without running the statistics on my own, I won't make the statement as if it is truth, but rather as an opinion. Why is this lame? Actually, there was a gigantic group who pushed for these changes across 2 (possibly 3) different platforms...all of which you have every right and means to contribute. Not only did you have these forums that had been advertised by the Developers for a very long time, but you also had Discord and (not positive on this one) Reddit. There were a lot of people who contributed ideas...some of which were used, some of which were not, others were combined in to one idea using multiple ideas. You think this is rushed? Might I suggest you try any of the other servers? These Devs has spent ten times the amount of time testing and getting things right than any of the other servers out there and I will even go out on a limb and say they have spent more time testing than all the other servers combined. I honestly feel like this right here quoted above is a very entitled statement that comes with very negative implications. This is a very entitled statement when you consider your other options available to you.

It's never just that easy and I think you know it. It lacks the proper advertisement that an in game button upon character creation could provide. Even if he/she were to advertise on these forums or in game, it still would not garner the attention of enough people because psychologically, people are more drawn to something that is "official" rather than self imposed. This is why I never agree to people using, "just self impose it on yourself, problem solved" comments, it's simply unrealistic when it sounds great on paper, but in practice never works out the same way.

Okay, so I switched characters and it has sound on my Scrapper. Will dig in to this a bit more and post back.

Just as the title says. No sound from Secondary Mutation since the patch today.

For me personally, they should have just put it back the way it was during i5 and added a +Recharge buff to Death Shroud (+Recovery +Regen for the Blaster version to get away from that damn target click ranged fear b.s.) and called it a day. I truly loved the Teleport version of the Dark Consumption idea that they were tossing around, but they didn't do that because of Stalkers being unable to get that power, even though they could have just added a proc system to turn the Stalker version of Midnight Grasp into an AoE to make up for that to allow for more diversity in the Stalker set and then called it a day.

Agreed. Not only that, but seriously, we can't ever agree on anything. Like one really great will come out, then half the people who post on that idea hates the idea. When the Devs see us arguing over every and any little change proposed, I am sure that puts them in a position they are uncomfortable being in, because they know that no matter how they change a powerset, there will always be players who hate the change and will cry foul on that change. Hell, we can't even get everyone to agree that the powerset needs some love, much less agree on how to change that.

Unzip this file, then click and drag the Data Folder to your City of Heroes Folder and play your Mercs or Assault Rifle character. Enjoy! Plasma Rifle SFX for AR.zip

I would have to check with PK to see if he has a Mac version of the CoH Modder tool. otherwise all mods would have to be installed manually since you are using a Mac. The location of your folder won't matter. What is important is that your mod go under the City of Heroes Folder (or in the Homecoming folder if you are using the new Homecoming Launcher) and you add in a data folder to put your mods in. I have a Terminator Plasma Rifle SFX Mod for Beam Rifle, Mercs and Assault Rifle if you are interested.

I knew that would be the case. I have an Ice/Ice who is my second most played Tank and even though I have probably one of the best possible builds one can have for an Ice/Ice Tank, the holes in the Resist Department are always the major downfall. Sadly, if one NPC in a mob gets a lucky roll of the dice and penetrates your defense, it's almost as if they all get that same lucky roll and they all hit you at once...and you can only hope your Resists can to live up to the challenge.

Somebody would be thinking lightsaber though, hehe.

Just to be clear, I will necro this until the end of time! Brace yourself! Muh hahahahahaha!!!!

Unique Dragon must never die!

Ask her which launcher she is using.

QFT Exactly. This is the same rodeo every generation plays. Every generation believes they are somehow better than the ones before them...and every generation before them has already been there and done that and knows better.

It would help if all that stuff that you wrote had anything to do with "boomers" yet you still blame them for it. You want a monster in your life, you found one and it makes you feel better to downgrade a whole generation and pin all of your woes to that generation instead of taking responsibility for your own life. Yet, all of these things you blame the boomers for, you do nothing yourself to fix them. So you can okay boomer all you like...and I will continue to "lol okay" as I go on living my life without blaming anyone else. If you want to blame anyone for anything, start with the government. The Boomers were only trying to live by the laws of man, and they did everything in their power to change the laws that mattered most...like, I don't know...ending racism and ending Jim Crow Laws and protesting wars that we had no business being in and preaching peace and love. But hey, you go right on ahead and keep blaming boomers.

lol, okay. I can't wait to show this to my mother. She is going to cry laughing. Thanks for this!

And now it seems you are grinding your axe as well. (Waits for somebody to quote me and say the same thing)
