City Data Terminal Kiosk? Vanguard Merit Reward kiosk? That bodega in Talos where you can get a great pastrami sandwich?? ....please elaborate. Which kiosk and what potential are you referring to? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarky Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 That bodega in Talos is connected to the Family. I would not eat anything they make in that kitchen… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greycat Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I'm assuming you're talking about the square "City information" ones. The ones that used to do things like track kills and such. Yes, I found it amusing to be a "Nemesis nemesis" on occasion. But apparently that took up more processing power than anyone expected, so... What about them? 1 1 Primarily on Everlasting.

Sunsette Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I usually forget they do anything at all until I do Outbreak again or someone brings it up. City isn't a "click everything you see for immersion" game and their art assets don't call high attention to them in a way that breaks through the visual noise of the city, on top of all travel powers but Speed generally being too vertical to notice them. 1 Sundered Marches: The Website | The Official Soundtrack!

TheMoneyMaker Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Make clicking on those access the city map and search features that we can already use just by pressing M or typing /search. No need to make them do something new, just make them functional at something and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to deposit inf? Make investments? Buy stocks maybe? A way to gain more inf? Maybe put inf in an account that grants you 5 % interest every month? An option to turn in an Enhancement and get a new random one back? Edited March 14 by KITANYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortguy on indom Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Just restoring the kiosks to their full potential and functionality would be nice and nostalgic. Used to click on these, not much at all anymore. Lost their flavor. Introduced: Issue 2, titled A Shadow of the Past, was a major revision to City of Heroes released on Thursday, September 16, 2004. The city information terminal kiosks were made functional so players could access various game statistics. Kiosks are now functional, and track the Victors, Punishers, Healers, and Nemeses on a daily and monthly basis. PvP Capture the Flag! Bring some fun into it....

Used to click on these, not much at all anymore. Lost their flavor. As mentioned - what they were showing took up more processing power than expected, or so we were told, so that was disabled. Believe that was on live. Whether the ability to turn it back on is *possible* or not? I don't know, but I'd guess "no" (we don't have historic code going back through all the various patches from live, only what it was like at shutdown and what was worked on past.) Then the question becomes "is it technically desirable to turn it back on or would it cause problems?" Primarily on Everlasting. Squid afficionado. Former creator of Copypastas. General smartalec.

Scarlet Shocker Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 In a perfect CoH connected world, those terminals would be your in world UI for the app that you have on your mobile that allows you to track characters, home shard, level, inf, etc. So you can remain logged into the game while checking if you have what you need to do that TF that's being advertised on a slow night. The Ghost Slaying Axe. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherspectre in the room, accept no substitutes.

TheMoneyMaker Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) There are no kiosk equivalents in the Rogue Isles. If you make them functional somehow, then you need to add the same functionality to redside. Edited March 16 by TheMoneyMaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that if they could make the tech work it would be relatively easy to do but given the issues with the kiosks to date I suspect they are in about as useful as a chocolate teapot The Ghost Slaying Axe.
