Solarverse

I believe in optional settings. So I am right there with you. I absolutely hate when something gets changed and it's not optional and then I am stuck with the change, so trust me when I say, I'm right there with ya.

I get where you are coming from, I personally preferred the pre i5 days with the enhancement system, the no limit aggro system, the harder to kill mobs and the fright of getting around in the Hollows before the revamp with no travel powers till level 14, no capes till level 20 and no auras till level 30, the old Debt system in place, the ambush mobs that we no longer have in game, pretty much everything the game was pre i5. I would love to see a server like this that ports over all the costume options and new powers and new missions and I would be happier than a pig in s**t. Sadly for us I think people like me are either rare or have moved on from the game when the game was made to be easier to play over the years, so there doesn't seem to be enough of us left that preferred the game pre i5, so most requests like this one get shot down pretty fast. And since there are not enough of us left, I don't think there will be any hope of having a populated server if somebody were to make one either. And I crave the population, so I wouldn't be able to play an old school server like that unless there were plenty of people to hang out with. Not to mention, I have grown a certain attachment to a lot of people in this game, hell, I even have a certain kind of fondness to a lot of the people who post these very forums...you kind of get used to them and actually start liking their smart asses, lol...so it would be hard to leave either way. But just know, you aren't alone, we are just a dying breed is all.

Rework the chat bubbles to look more like what we actually have in comics. I understand this would take quite a lot of work, but man it would sooooo be worth it to me. What gave me the idea is that as of yesterday, I have been playing the game with the experimental graphics and the game just looks amazing with the comic book style graphics instead of the "realistic" graphics. It's given me a whole new love for the game and it's like I am playing City of Heroes 2. The only thing it's missing is the comic book style chat bubbles.

I am fairly certain this mod is already in the CoH Modd Tool.

As long as they aren't doing "The Duck Lips" while walking "The Duck Walk" I am perfectly okay with it, lol.

I didn't want to make a macro or bind for it so I looked at the options and found an option to toggle it. By default there is no bind for it though, so you have to bind a key to the toggle, I used insert for mine.

If it defaults to Screeshotui 0, is not Shift+ PrtSc = Screenshotui 1? I can't remember how to get it to screenshot with the UI now.

...meanwhile, elsewhere in the world, somebody just had a very GOOD day! Well crap, took a screenshot of it, however, I forgot to screenshot it with the HUD option, so it didn't post. However, I feel I should tell the story anyway. There was a Luck of the Gambler that was selling on average for 8 mill. Somebody made the huge mistake of buying one for 85,000,000 Influence where I am SURE they only meant to attempt 8,500,000. I seen it, took a screen shot of it...but damn it, only got this instead. Sorry folks, it would have been so much more interesting if I had the hud up. 😞

That is just creepy. As a huge fan of Hell Raiser I and II that is just truly creepy, lol.

He went all Hell Raiser on us! I love it!

As the title says.

I sacrificed Regen and some Resist for Defense. The build's main hole is in that it is susceptible to end draining abilities that sap and Debuff endurance regeneration. So to counter that, I made the build have basically or VERY close to soft capped defense to All. The capped defense and high resist + the Regeneration IMO makes my Tank a VERY competitive Tank to every possible situation in game. And like you, so far as to date, I have yet to be killed. I have an SG mate who tried to test that by putting my character through some of the toughest mobs he could think of, nothing was able to take me out. However, there are a small amount of situations where popping a couple of oranges is needed...but those situations are EXTREMELY rare. My first attempt with he build focused more on Regeneration but I found myself having trouble with Sappers from Malta or Mu with Aracnos or anything else with serious end draining abilities, even with having an insane amount of recovery they were still sapping me dry and dropping my toggles. That's why I felt the sacrifice was needed to Regen and resist was necessary to get my Defense up...and so far, it was the best choice I have ever made with my build. Good to hear other WP Tanks out there kicking ass!

I can't stand not getting XP, it kind of makes me feel like I am not getting anywhere. However, I would LOVE if there were an option to get the old Debt system back. It would make me fight harder not to die rather than "Meh, if I die I die" type of thing. I feel you though, man...really.

I know exactly what you mean. Those other servers made me appreciate HC a bit more than I did before visiting those other servers. Like somebody previously said, they are a fun playground, but when it's time to get serious, this is my home server. I do admit, for PvP, Cake is probably the best server because you can create instant characters and go PvP with anything you thought up, but for PvE, this is the server I wish to play on until somebody comes out with a server that challenges me more than this one.

Not to mention, it's a level fest on some of those other servers. You get a level with every other mob on one server, you get a level per mission on others...it's nothing but easy street where everything is just handed to you. People who enjoy power leveling may enjoy a server like that, but people who enjoy a normal level progression would fair much better on this server. In other words, the candy on other servers is not enough to make me want to leave this server. This server has more balance and still holds somewhat of a normal progression. One thing that really got me loving this game in the beginning, is that seeing a level 50 was almost awe inspiring because you knew that person played their heart out to get there (as long as they did not PL to get there) and with all the debt that used to be in game, that was saying a lot back then. Although I miss the days when getting to level 50 would take me a VERY long time, these days I can literally level from 1 to 50 in a single day without any power leveling whatsoever. This game has just been dumbed way down since the pre i5 days. So this game has already lost a lot of its luster for me in terms of feeling accomplished after reaching level 50, however, even after saying that, this game is still a much more challenging game that what you have on those other servers. Those other servers practically hand everything to you on a platter...no thank you.

Right you are.

Like a Grav Trollers Propelled object? Hahahaha! That would be fricken funny as hell, man!

No , you misunderstand. I feel if PFF would be made to be Insulation and Deflection rolled in to one for yourself, that would free a Bubbler's build up to explore many more options. To get the cap defense as it stands, I have to do a LOT of 6 slotting. If it were changed (which The Philotic Knight makes a good point that the game cannot be balanced around Min/Maxed builds) it would free up all those 6 slotted abilities for me to explore other avenues of the character build.

I hear ya, man. And as much as I hate to admit it, you're right. Although even though I agree, I would like to point out that most nerfs in game happen due to these types of builds, lol. Kind of ironic. 😄

This game has it's hard mobs and it's difficult mobs. Freaks, Council, Skyraiders, Family = Easy. Then you have the tougher mobs, Malta (only because of Sappers) Carnie, Aracnos, and well...that's about it. I do prefer some mobs be a challenge and others be easy. The easy ones are a nice break from the more difficult ones, I think this game needs a healthy helping of both types. In fact, I wish the hard ones were harder than they are now. Make them downright frustrating.

Here is my issue with PFF. I am at cap defense already. PFF does nothing to help with that unless I am hit with a serious defense Debuff. My S/L Resist is at cap as well, which leaves me looking at PFF like the three legged dog your ex girlfriend dropped off at your doorstep before leaving you to join the Mars Expedition, lol. For me personally, it is quite simply useless. I literally take alphas with my Defender and survive them...without PFF. I simply wish to give PFF a use that lasts beyond level 50, not just something that is only useful pre level 30. I mean, I understand how difficult it is to get everyone on board with a change, so I never expected this to be easy. I just hate seeing a power that is utterly useless that I could have picked up had it been actually useful to me. Some people feel differently and probably think I am nuts for not taking PFF (I take it, I simply never use it...it's nothing more than a place holder for a Karma KB Reduction in my current build) but I feel if they were to ever play my character, they would agree that PFF no longer serves any use outside of maybe a very occasional but extremely rare boost to resist.

No, you would only need the .ogg file and change the name of the file to the associated Sound Effect. You would not need Sonichit2 twice, you would only need one of each. So it would look something like this; Femtaunt2 sonichit2 ScreamPBAOE MaleTaunt2 Just make sure the files go to the correct folder and you're good to go!
