nah, if you follow the blizzard devs' posts they're pretty much neck deep in crap trying to keep everything balanced
no, i mean joking about wanting them to focus on pvp
because that's retarded
Well, balance wise, the PvP crowd have always been the first to find broken stuff in CO. And with one exception (smoke nade advantage) every single 'broken' thing could be abused in PvE as well. I'm not saying they should balance *for* PvP, but if they'd pay attention to it, they'd save an awful lot of time looking for balance issues in general.
I mean, if like say every single PvP toon is sporting Laser Knight? (which every single melee PvP toon is now)
Yup, I mean exactly that. Green force or fire powers would probably look best, and maybe defile at higher levels. But yeah, you can modify colors, and some emination points depending on power. Anything with a weapon usually has a few replacers you can get as well (guns, swords).
New idea: Archery/Supernatural, where all the supernatural powers are "holy" themed (i.e. all whites and yellows), roleplay him as a religious fanatic.
Cross-Bow
edit: No, I'm not actually going to stoop low enough to make that one, don't worry.

I'd look down on you, but I made a mild-mannered guy who looks like a family doctor, changed the colors of his lab coat and stethoscope to a red/yellow flame pattern, then named him Dr. Burnface. I also made a guy who looks like Kratos from God of War but wearing a Best Buy uniform
yes, and focusing on pvp in a game not designed specifically around pvp (warhammer, dark age of camelot) is retarded
no one's denying the knowledge the PvP playerbase brings to the table, but for you to say that they should focus on balancing for PvP instead of introducing tight PvE design is ridiculous
Well, I was really looking forward to playing this, but I'm getting a weird bug where no matter what my graphics settings are, the game freezes for about a tenth of a second every single second. It's a very regular thing.
I don't know if loot gets a big boost in the SL zones at 21, but the stuff im finding now is really nice. Got a couple secondary offense items, one restores health and the other restores energy every time i kill something.

Anyone heard of this?
Hm... did you fiddle with the Troubleshooting options under Advanced too? I remember some of those settings having some pretty brutal side-effects.
If that's not the case... you might want to post on their Troubleshooting forums.

Just so you know, there are actually supernatural powers that are DIRECTLY "holy"
celestial supernatural is like...divine power to heal and to hurt
my fiancee made this exact character the other day but got hung up on the name

Is there a way to disable the hotkey text on the power bar? The xbox ones are fine, but as soon as I started messing with custom keybinds (mainly to get autorun on the controller) it threw hotkey text on every UI element it could.
Also I see people mention these defensive passives and, especially on my might guy, I've seen people mention regeneration. I couldn't find it in the power list. I saw two guys dueling last night and noticed that the one guy just wouldn't die and they were talking about regeneration. And he was level 6. How the fuck do I get it?
Is it somewhere I wasn't looking or something?
Bowen, you should not be dying that quickly to a small mob at level 7 as any build. Are you standing in fire or something silly?
It was in the Canada zone the shaman guys. They were tearing my shit up. As might I was pretty much 3 shotting them or less. But as the guy I was, I was just getting destroyed by the shaman dude. All of a sudden like right after combat he'd do a little swirly thing and wreck my shit.
I redid it as force and force is a lot better, but still dies pretty easily if I get more than the 3 guys around the shamans usually. Though, the force AoE knockback is hilariously fun, but I'm sad it doesn't knock them as far back as might does.
But, I fucking tore up PvP with it.
bowen on
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

Have they added enough content to this to close all the progression holes? I know better than to ask if there is enough for a second line of progression without repetitions.

Behold, Abydos! He's got a pretty illustrious backstory I came up with kind of on the fly. He uses the powers of darkness to fight greedy archaeologists and looters, which are explained (along with some other unnecessary information) below.
2023AD : Time travel becomes reality when genius inventor Casey Casum develops the first working time machine. Sold to the highest bidder, a mysterious syndicate of Egyptian business and spiritual leaders known as ABYDOS purchase the technology.
Given the ability to finally reclaim their peoples lost and defiled treasures, a plan was born. Throughout the ages, corporeal remains of pharoes and even gods were preserved. ABYDOS scientists combined these remains with an experiemental sample of dark matter deep in their secret lab.
From the ashes, their avatar was born. Piloting his time machine into the past, he kills for the stolen blood of his ancestors.
Spent an hour or two with forum tech support and I can't get this stutter to stay gone. It went away for a minute when I tried using the proxy server instead of the main server, but now it's back.

My friend was having some trouble with lag spikes too, on a beastly radeon 48XX card or something, that's too bad. I used to have lag spikes for a few seconds at a time playing MMOs, it turned out it was a hard drive failure in progress. I don't have any other suggestions though, if you don't see anything in the system event log then I dunno
Hey guys, I figured out how to take screenshots with the UI included
you can either run the screenshot_ui_jpg command, or bind it to printscreen like this:
/bind SysRq screenshot_ui_jpg

What is your hardware and Windows version?
Here, just look at my thread on the tech support forum:
I posted a dxdiag there and everything. Right now the support guys are of differing opinions what the problem is. I'm redownloading the client to see if maybe that fixes anything.
In the Nvidia Control Panel, are you forcing AA or Anisotropic filter instead of checking "Let the application decide"? That's under 3D Settings -> Adjust image settings with preview.
Game is pretty fun, just got to level 5 and beat the tutorial, I really like the way it controls with a 360 controller.
I don't think I really like my current character though... Was theming him on Darkness/Psiblades, and I'm not sure if I want to stick with that. Have to think on it.
I had trouble with the version of Unreal Tournament 3 I got through steam. Maybe there's a one in a million file corruption issue on there or something, like its checksum algorithm isn't perfect

but then again about 70% of the tier 0 powers are shitty
no, i mean joking about wanting them to focus on pvp

Just seven bucks, right?
I hope a lot of you still play this and it doesn't die as soon as I get into it, like Warhammer.

There might be an issue with Laser Knight.
Are there any frameworks in the game where the powers seem nuclear in nature? Because I just thought of the name "Fission Chips"
Wait.
You mean you can change the power effect appearances in this game?
Like, I could make a fire guy with green or purple fire if I felt like it?

No YOU
Well either way, focus on PvP or PvE. It's just tough to reconcile the two effectively

basically long story short- you CAN make double, and triple focused characters, but unless you build off of some synergies you will be a little gimped
and "a little gimped" can mean anything from "can't actually solo" to "kills things in six seconds instead of five"

that's awesome though, dig the costume and color scheme
also, for those of you who have done Serpent Lantern stuff: can you re-do it on the same toon?

If you disable all sounds, does the problem stop?
Ah well... that's good then.
Maybe it was the Steam overlay...

Then I could make a beast-looking character named Faux Paws.
The Surgeon General
Evil is a cancer... And the doctor is IN.
Too silly not to use.
There is sort of a way. Make a claws character and use the Energy Claws. Change the color to a bright pink.
