Solarverse

Okay, maybe not an event. Skies have clear, Luminary is still Nightsar but Citadel has not changed to Siege.

I know it must be some type of event due to the sky being dark grey with no stars, I just don't know which event this is. Clearly something to do with Praetoria.

Why is Luminary now Nightstar?

Yes it does, thank you very much for the info!

Not able to figure it if it's even possible, but I am having no luck. Anyone else able to figure out a way?

Yeah....

That's a completely different subject. He's talking about Granite Armor specifically. As to the topic, I would suggest getting rid of the -Speed as said above, but also give it a minimal effects option to just get rid of the look all together and replace it with some type of rocky crumble aura instead.

I seen it, I thought it looked great. Different strokes for different folks I suppose. 😉

As long as we are requesting an OPTION here and not requesting for anything that is going to get visual effects nerfed or removed, I am all for this. However, too many powers in game have been visually nerfed already and I don't want to see any of them ever nerfed again. Ice Armor used to have such a brilliant and fantastic visual effects...and now they are just gone. That really left me feeling kicked while down when they did that. So please, no more nerfs. However, more options are always welcomed.

Fairly certain wind control is already in the game coding, it's just not in game yet. If you take a look over on WeHaveCake, they have it there. If memory serves me correctly, the head Dev over there told me that it was already in game, it simply was not implemented yet. Soooo...he implemented it. That's *if* memory serves me correctly when we were talking about it. So until we know for fact, take that with a grain of salt.

Ugh, Sonic Manipulation. Just more sound mods I will have to make. I mean, did you hear the ones on test server for the melee? Yuuuuk.... lol

I suggest taking a look at the tutorial video on the front page. It shows you how to get the tool and shows you how to operate it. It makes life a hell of a lot easier.

All barking and howls have been removed and the howling attack has been replaced with a new sound effect. If you don't like the new sound effect, let me know. It's listed on the CoH Modder Tool under Mute Umbra Beast

Guess I should have read this first, heh. I'll quote you and post here when the mod is ready.

Do you want to keep the attack SFX but just lose the constant barking when idle? Just a head's up in case you are interested, the mod I have for Dark Control actually makes that sound worth listening to. He doesn't bark anymore, but rather sounds like a demon hound. However, if that is not your thing I can roll out a mod that just silences the idle barking if you prefer.

LOL!

All I know, is that I could sit in Atlas Park and shove these guys for days...that is just too damn funny!

I used to get migraines, and still can on occasion. However, I would NEVER be offended by a power or ability named Migraine. It just feels to me that it would be a wee bit overly sensitive of me if I were to take offense to such a thing. There are SOOOOOOOO many things in this world that are bad. There are people in this world, maybe even who play this game who has been struck by a lightning bolt. Maybe somebody in the game had a family member who was killed by one. I personally know somebody who was a close friend of mine who was electrocuted to death while he was at work. Does this mean we need to change the name of Lightning Bolt or Zapp because they can be associated with electrocution or a blot of lightning in order to make sure we don't offend them? I have a character in game named Drown. Do I need to change my name out of fear that somebody in game knew somebody who drowned? Do you see where I am going with this? I mean, we should really consider drawing the line somewhere. IMO that line should have been drawn in the sand when we changed the name of Shock Therapy to Electrical Affinity. We really do need to draw a line somewhere. We can't keep being overly cautious when it comes to naming powers or characters or even the name of movies or games. It gets to a point where we start crossing the line between being respectful of others and it turning in to just being ridiculous.

Also, the only reason I am nice to you is because I am in love with the person in your avatar. 😄

I'm going to keep an eye on the numbers to see how many people level to 50 after the change goes live and then compare the new statistics. However, I will not be included in those statistics since for me personally, it's still not worth it.

Man, that would be awesome! That right there is exactly what I had in mind, however I did not think about the Cape pins. Just a slight alteration in size, but not much and they would fit perfectly.

Exactly. Downsized and placed in the place of the first screenshot above would be completely beautiful. the opportunities with this could be near limitless.

Touch of the Beyond change: Why? I mean, the biggest complain about Dark secondary for blasters is that Touch of the Beyond being a click power that requires a target just to get the boost for Endurance is just simply too much to even play the set. I made a post on the suggestion forums about this, switching Death Shroud for Touch of the Beyond and then giving Death Shroud the Endurance Boost instead. That would put it in line with the other Blaster Secondaries and wouldn't require the power to be such a nuisance. Further info on this thread... My point is, that Dark Secondary is the second least played set in game for blasters, only missing the mark for being the least played set by 11 players....11. I would really like to play a themed Dark/Dark Blaster, but even with these proposed changes, I just can't and won't. I don't expect to see those numbers go up any. Sure, you may get some players to roll one with Dark as secondary just to try it out, which will falsify the numbers, but I am willing to bet they will not be leveling to 50 once they realize that the changes just aren't worth it. Just asking that you Devs please consider this and please read the thread listed above. At the end of the day, it's your baby...but I would like to play a Dark/Dark Blaster, but even with these current changes...? I just can't.

Yeah but...but....my Energy Blaster can't shove them back that far! Thrust has nothing on this, lol! I mean seriously, when I knocked that NPC for the first time I about busted out laughing, it was too funny to contain myself, hahaha

Article and Analysis by Kal Trail, writer for the Paragon Times Journal Superheroes in this city began taking advantage of this mysterious technological transporter that seemingly came out of nowhere in the Spring of 2019. Heroes such as Atomic Level, Heavy Metal, Nebula, United States and even the assigned protector of our very existence in the universe, Solarverse, have all taken advantage of this new technology; but at what cost? Gone are the days when you would see the occasional glimpse of Solarverse flying through the skies in Atlas Park, flying overhead to remind us that he is still here...watching, protecting, giving a show of presence that scatters the criminal element of the city back to the holes in which they came. Gone are the days when you would see Heavy Metal leaping through the air and over the tallest of buildings, always rushing off to prevent a major city disaster under the Task Force of Positron. Gone are the days when United States would come from the skies in the north for the occasional stance and salute to the United States flag at City Hall. We even miss the days when Atomic Level would fly in from time to time and request people keep 20 feet away from him for fear of civilians getting radiation sickness in his proximity, while he attempts to update the press on the tasks that he and the others are working on to keep us all safe. Gone are the days when you would see a trail of dark nebula energy warping any given space or time where Nebula had just teleported to and fro before flying off in to the distance. In fact, the skies have been empty, the roads are no longer being used by the speedsters, there are no longer any warped areas of ground nor space from the use of Teleportation, no longer any cracks in the cement from the landings of heroes who leap...there is simply...nothing. To an outsider, you would even think there were no heroes in this city at all if you were attempting to find evidence visually through signs of travel. Over the past year we have began noticing that due to the use of this instant travel technology, that heroes are growing out of shape. They are no longer moving, but rather instant traveling anywhere they need to go. People have been talking, they have been noticing that heroes are being winded more easily when combating foes from afar. People have been even posting memes online of overweight and out of shape superheroes who were once fit and strong, but are now slow, sluggish and weak. A meme such as the one below began circulating and has gone viral with hundreds of thousands of people chiming in to add to the joke. Have heroes lost the respect of the citizens of Paragon City? It would seem as though they have. They have lost the respect of the people, but one thing that they have not lost, is weight. Perhaps technology has even made the greatest of heroes fall from grace, all so that they can go from one place to the next with little effort nor energy required. In a world where threats from other worlds and threats from the criminal underground and threats from minions of Lord Recluse are constantly a reality that we all must live under, perhaps heroes would do well to get back to their roots and get back to being the respected heroes they once were. Considering we have no idea where this new technology came from, it has been theorized by the greatest minds of our world that this technology may have been intentionally planted in an attempt to make our heroes too weak and too out of shape to defend us against the coming threat. We can only hope the theories are incorrect. We can only hope that the most brilliant minds are incorrect because if they are indeed right, no hero will be fit enough to save us. They will no longer be Super Heroes. They will be Supersized Heroes.
