Ridiculous Girl Posted December 10 Posted December 10 (edited) how i picture the developement meeting... Dev 2: Ok, so we have red for damage, blue for endurance, purple for defense, green for healing... what color should we make the resist enhancements? Lead Dev: Ham. Dev 3: Ham? Lead Dev; Yes, I want them ham colored. Dev 2: ... Lead Dev: ... Dev 2: Ham, it is then! Lead Dev: Thank you. Let's take a break for lunch... i know there is no possibility for changing this, but i must put in my protest in for this terrible colour palette for an essential enhancement. i do not even have a good alternative. but when you craft enough ham coloured encs, it starts to get to you. everything begins to take a dusky ham tinge to it... 😁 Edited December 10 by Ridiculous Girl fixed the title, corrected historical inaccuracy 1 4 1 "I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours" the Cheshire Cat "Ce n'est rien de mourir; c'est affreux de ne pas vivre" (It's nothing to die, it's terrible not to live) Jean Valjean "وطن المرء ليس مكان ولادته و لكنه المكان الذي تنتهي فيه كل محاولاته للهروب” (Home is not where you were born, home is where all your attempts to escape cease.)

MoonSheep Posted December 10 Posted December 10 my bigger frustration is the immense bias against resistance, especially with inspirations the resistance scale goes up to 100%, and the defense one arguably up to around 45-50%. despite this, res inspirations are less powerful than def on a % basis and in reality, less than half as effective when you consider the 100% vs 45% scale a T2 def insp gives 25% def, which is arguably just over half way to the ‘cap’ a T2 res insp gives 15% res, which is 15% of the total amount possible to block - three times less effective than the same level def insp 1 1 If you're not dying you're not living
Skyhawke Posted December 10 Posted December 10 Correct, ham coloring is ridiculous. Bacon flav...coloring sounds delic...much better. 3 Sky-Hawke: Rad/WP Brute Alts galore. So...soooo many alts. Originally Pinnacle Server, then Indomitable and now Excelsior

Just needs to build to 45%. Amplifiers give 5%. Both defence uniques add another 6%. Taking Hover or Combat Jumping adds another 1.5%-ish. Before we even slot anything we're near half way there. In the meanwhile resistance slots all the resist uniques, takes the amplifiers, then triple slots their toggles, and they are something like 50% out of 90%. 1 1 - Simple guide for newcomers. - Money making included among other things. - Tanker Fire Armor: the Turtle, the Allrounder, the Dragon, and compilation of Fire Armor builds. - Tanker Stone Armor: beginner friendly (near) immortal Tanker for leveling/end-game and Stone Armor framework. - Brute Rad/Stone and compilation of Brute Stone Armor builds.

That takes me back; when I was in college, my mother bought a condo, and we spent time repainting the downstairs to an off-white from its original color, which my mother, sister, and I all agreed to refer to as "vomit brown", being a slightly orange shade of medium brown that was vaguely disquieting to look at. 2 1

Why does this make me think of the second phase of Malenia in Elden Ring? lol

Aren't there already mods to change what the powers in the trays look like? I see no reason why the colors/display icons (even) of enhances couldn't be changed ... if someone wanted to take the time to do the mods. Should the DEVs bother with making the change and providing/forcing it on the entire community? To that I vote "no". If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

DarknessEternal Posted December 12 Posted December 12 If your ham is the color of resistance enhancements, you're not going to live long enough to care about this issue for long. 1

mechahamham Posted December 12 Posted December 12 19 hours ago, UltraAlt said: Sounds like a simple game mod. The hardest part of this is converting the artwork to the texture format used by CoH, and that's been fairly well documented. Changing the color without changing the artwork is as simple as opening the images for the icons in the editor of your choice, adding a flat color layer of your choice, and adjusting the blend options on the layer until you like the color. It's more work for set IOs that tend to have color artwork on top of the colored background. I've poked around the Ourodev git repository specifically looking for artwork and haven't been able to find much. Devs, please consider making original artwork files for powersets and IOs available if you have them to make this kind of mod easier to accomplish.
