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... 😁

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

Defence has it so easy. 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%.

I was always told resistance was the color of braunschweiger.

 

And defense was liverwurst.

 

So...the same color, actually.

Baby shit yellow.

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.

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

Sounds like a simple game mod.

 

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.

that is why this is in general and not in suggestions and feedback... it's not to be taken seriously. 😉

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.
