Stan The Man Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 5 hours ago, Patti said: That font is a bit too comic booky Stan. Looks like something for champions online or freedom force. Maybe try a slightly less comedic font? It was just something I threw together in a few minutes. It would take me hours to not just find the right fonts that matched the current logo but also to render it correctly. If you stare at it closely, you'll see the 3d effect is poorly overlayed over the Homecoming part of the logo. That's because the program I use could bevel the font, shape it, and make it 3d, just not all to the same object. So I cheated a little to accomplish something I would call, at best, a sketch; and at worst, a joke. And hey, it is a comic book MMORPG. 😉 But, no, I like the original CoH logo best. 3 Face front, true believers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is the deadline for still getting 30 percent off on the yearbook? Edited August 20, 2020 by Rejolt 1 Thanks for D-Sync Enhancements! Just wish things like Resist/End, Heal/End and Damage/Mez had a third stat that made them more viable. Suggestions - add Recharge to Ribosomes, Range to Golgis, and Slows to Peroxisomes. These changes would allow for an endurance cost/range, recharge/endurance, and slow/mez or slow/damage enhancements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neogumbercules Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I may be late to the party but I would like to defend Redside. While Blueside has nicer weather and more nostalgia, Redside has far better zone design, better music, better story arcs with better writing, streamlined progression from one zone to the next, and way more interesting enemy groups to fight that never show up Blueside. The extra development time really does show itself on the Redside and its clear that many of CoHs weaknesses were addressed over there. I'm also of the opinion that the Redside ATs are more mechanically interesting than their Blueside counterparts, although that doesn't really matter anymore since you can make any AT anywhere. While Going Rogue was overall a good thing for the game I believe it hit the Redside population particularly hard. If I was going to make a no-PL "play the content as intended" kind of character I would absolutely play on Redside. It's just so much more interesting and streamlined for that experience. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players wanting something isn't a good enough reason to do it. (Edit: Tangent: It seems really hard to multiquote when you're trying to edit a post.

I want to make you guys fall in love again with red side. Its personality is more in line with my own. When my current project is done I have a bang-up write-up for a massive plot-progressing arc that I'm writing in tandem with another, which will be quite fun and tie in some more lore. I also hope to continue challenging convention and surprising players. Current feedback is positive, but I look forward to the majority playerbase to test when it's ready. 6 hours ago, Number Six said: Quite ironic considering the nature of what @Piecemeal is hinting at. It is one small step for man, one giant step for cyborgs. 6 3 1 "Science. Science, my friend, requires radical gambles and adventures in malpractice sometimes. Take solace in the fact that I tested the majority of these things on the dead, the re-dead, and the nearly departed before I went to live trials. Honestly, most of my "specimens" were several iterations past being considered a human being with their original fingerprints, teeth, or IDs. So it was rather a lot like experimenting on moaning clay putty." Got time to spare? Want to see Homecoming thrive? Consider volunteering as a Game Master! For science and community!

starro Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 When the Lore starts rolling again the story progresses.... I want to know what is going on with the Red Widow.

If I was going to make a no-PL "play the content as intended" kind of character I would absolutely play on Redside. It's just so much more interesting and streamlined for that experience. True true. I've always preferred red, since it was released - including their ATs over Blue. There isn't a single AT blue side that I prefer over its red counterpart. Red side ATs were also designed with inherents in mind, whereas blue were given them after the fact to balance with red, which is why I think red's are more interesting. But yeah, DCUO still has a huge disparity between hero/villain, to the point where any "new" hero/villain game should probably avoid splitting the factions, because villain will always be dead in this genre. It's not like Horde vs Alliance, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
