CITY OF HEROES

pretty fine, Dual Pistols or Assault Rifle Blaster or Corrupter would be what you're looking for.

Either based or scared.

Anyone know what the 2000 page pdf one guy uploaded on the Discord is for? The handful of people working on the source code seemed pretty excited by it, but as a brainlet I have no idea why.

One of the more creative asshole things I did was the Pocket D slopes had a short narrow Cave you walked through out onto the ski resort when you first entered the portal to get to the slopes. They might of patched it out because it's not there on Paragon chat, maybe they redesigned the slopes at one point, but I swear I remember it being this narrow cave. Anyways me and some of my friends got on our MM's and we commanded all our pets to go stand in that cave and just shitted up the narrow corridor. CoH of course has player collision so people got body blocked by our pets, you'd usually sort of bounce through them, but with how narrow the cave was and how many pets there were people actually got stuck in there.

Then we made all our pets spam the Alakazamreact emote to lag them out. After about 10 minutes we had dozens of people in broadcast freaking out.

I mean he admits right out it's to get attention off him and stop the panic. As everyone suspected, everything he is doing right now is because pressure was applied.

what the fuck is this game and why does everyone care about it

and because people posted pictures of his home and license plate.

Codelet here. How much of this is bullshit?

Scrapper, Stalker, Brute, and Tank are all focused on pure melee. Scrapper and Brute are in your face DPS, Stalker is stealth, and Tank is take a guess. If you're looking for fisticuffs stuff, Scrapper, Brute and Stalker have Street Justice which is basically pure street fighting violence, and martial arts. You can also check out all of the powersets when you're first choosing a new character, and the costume customization screen even has the attack animations for each power.

I'm gonna create a villain that is basically my character from the Secret World except they've been taken by the Filth™.

this game is pretty loose, you can really do anything.

does anyone have any more screencaps of some of the things the devs left behind in the code? some of this stuff is pure gold, like african aviation.

Not the same guy, but I downloaded it all and I need a Titan Network account to use it. I tried to make one, but they never sent me an email.
Does anyone know if they having problems over there?

don't retire your pitchfork and torch just yet

Seeing as he is telling SCORE members to not release anything. Probably 50% bullshit.

apparently the new AT is ranged/armor so you could try that.

I can see you right now, you fuck. Go create a new character and check out the powersets yourself.

Leandro did nothing wrong.

I wish Secret World had been a better game because it was so cool otherwise

I faintly remember making a demon-looking player character and killing snake enemies. Was this city of heroes

>this version may be hard to get, or may have sensitive data that could be tied to the person who leaked it to begin with
Am I getting this right? Sounds good.

One of my guilty pleasures of this game was a Necro/FF/Teleport mastermind based on Orin.

Loaded all pets including Lich up with max acc/dam/whatever and used the dark servant full blown -tohit and exploited the FUCK out of Team Teleport. between power boosted bubbles +def and totally flooring enemy -tohit was fucking gravy. teleporting into a large group of zombies and/or team mates into the middle of a group was..

oh yes. sure sometimes team members would complain and I would have to get craftier by always being on the outside or waiting or going off on my own but fuck me I loved dropping two greatsword knights and a buncha of vomit filled zombies in on a group. separate macro for the lich to move him out for his cone attacks.

I think at 49 I worked in grant invis just so I can make them into ghosts and shit.

they were so massive and fun to explore, I think they make a return late game where you face the leader of snakes who was...an Elite Boss I believe

>I want my version of the game to be up on private servers
Fine with me. I don't care about their fanfic shit.

Don't trust a faggot who lied 6 years and only stopped lying because he was found out to be a liar.

it's not ideal, but it's certainly more than we had a week ago

I remember a mission where you're in a dark building and you basically fight a carbon copy of your character that gets created.

If you go look in the paragon chat section, they've been getting a metric fuckton of new players in the last few days so they're probably overwhelmed right now.

i dont know what that all means but it sounds FUN

Attached: 1478656388354.jpg (650x552, 277K)

What kind?

I wish that the Secret World relaunch had continued support for it. The server is still there, sure, in maintenance mode basically. The Norway office seems to only give it maybe a month of active work before going back to working on Conan, and this time they worked on vulture relaunch of Asheron's Call.

maybe he grew a conscience

yes, that was city of villains, technically, but they merged into the same game.

havent been keeping up with this since the very night this bullshit was all discovered
it would appear the source code has been released by that argentine shitbag?
how long can I expect before a private server with decent functionality?

Remember when they killed off Statesman so Positron Matt Miller would be the new top hero leader because the dev who had Statesman as his avatar quit for whatever reason?

Basically, yes in terms of what he said.
In terms of what he's doing, it remains to be seen.

Statesman was killed off years and years after Jack Emmert quit

That was some Ouroboros shit IIRC, its your character in their current costume but colors are inverted

>Whats the new spec look like?
It's basically just a Blaster's ranged focus with a scrapper's defensive buffs. Doesn't look that fun honestly. Tell me specifics about what you want to make. Every melee spec can get 1 or 2 ranged attacks at endgame, so do you want to punch/kick? Do you want a sword? Want a katana, dual blades, an axe? Broadsword? Kung fu? Or do you want something ranged? I've give you links to specs and powersets based on what you go into detail with.

All of it. He could just release the fucking data files, he doesn't need there to be working servers for him to personally load them onto. The point about "putting people at risk" is nonsense.

He's addicted to the level of power, control, and responsibility he's gotten over the past few years and refuses to give it up.

Not all of the source code has been released. That dick still needs to give us maps and NPC data. This isn't over yet.

its a shame they never added 2 handers

I always thought it was really cool how the devs had in-game avatars represent them, and there was in-game events where'd they'd actually login as those character models and hang with the players. It'd be like if Chris Metzen logged in as fucking thrall. I think I also remember them giving out customized titles to people.

Titan Weapons was a twohanded set. The main thing I didn't like about titan weapons was that the only "basic zweihander" weapon skin was insanely late game, so you were stuck with either axes, hammers, or weird anime hybrids.

It's not all out yet. Just the code that can compile the game itself, not including the resources to be pulled from.
>decent functionality
When someone opens a server that doesn't require approval from the one(s) who set it up, it'll crash within the hour. This will happen up to twenty times over the course of 2 weeks.
So you're looking at about a month wait.

"Statesman" left to make Chumpions Online many years before his character was killed.

How complicated is Mastermind for a summoner?

Attached: 1510611666010.png (640x480, 422K)

I had read that and what doesn't make sense to me is that they had a mostly working version of the game from what I understand, and somehow that data isn't in the FULL source code release even though they would have needed it on their own secret cult server

Fuck, meant for

He said the data is separate from the source code. He's working on loading the data to someone's servers, whoever wants to host it

Jack didn't quit--rather everyone else did. Paragon Studios was formed by NCSoft to support CoX when Jack's Cryptic wasn't supporting their game.
I dunno the legal shit going on behind the scenes. Maybe NCSoft paid Jack just to go the fuck away, but he was out and Positron was promoted and every other dev stayed put.
Jack going away was good though because he was spending all dev resources/subscription dollars into Champions Online's development while leaving CoX to die.

>Leo is offering a copy of the binaries of his server as well in case anyone wants to host asap

Well shit we could be playing by easter if someone takes the deal

not very

Depends, overall, not very. Thanks to the body guard change the best way to play it was literally not microing at all. By having your pet AI set to defend you (instead of you commanding who to attack) you'd also get a passive that'd make you split damage with them. So you just walked into mobs and you were a fucking tank.

>an ancient evil awakens

active public servers means his can stay private and invite only for other reasons besides the usual spooks. Now people get their game and won't come dragging themselves to his like a desperate drug addict.

good, there were so few people that expressed disinterest in playing that version up until they found out it may be possible for him to scoop an old one up.

the changes do not seem all that terrible and better yet it could be played really soon.

really simple, you move the pet attack button onto your tray and use it when you want them to focus on one particular enemy, they use all abilities automatically. all you need to do is buff them after you spawn them and it's permanently applied until they die.

it's a very easy and relaxed class, although you need to know that you're extremely weak and if you are focused you will not have much chance, avoid pvp at all costs.

If you actually use the bodyguard function? Not complicated at all. You just walk into the enemies, taunt them, and let your bots handle it while you take no damage. The complicated part is when you fight enemies that cleave or use AoE, in which case I can't remember if it was even possible to position them yourself, because iirc that took you out of bodyguard mode.

He's probably just terrified of the crazy spics who sent him death threats.

So what's the ETA on having a server

Is anyone else having trouble figuring out what kind of character they'll try to settle on leveling first?

Attached: 1555179887445.gif (336x430, 534K)

It's pedantism. "Data" isn't the same thing as "source code". He released all the source code, but he didn't release any of the data files. He does HAVE data files, he did GET data files, but he's choosing not to release them, spouting some nonsense about how it'd be "unsafe".

titan weapons? must have added that after i quit playing

Yes. That was the story arc with Protean. Dark Mirror if I recall was the Issue.

After you beat Protean and he sets off the set destruct you meet up with a clone that's trapped under rubble. You can actually save it and it comes back to you at the end of the arc while your transferring "well earned" money into your account. Depending on your choices it will either fight you or walk and live a life of it's own.
It was really heartwarming.

CoX was one of the few games that did a pet-class right. To this day it's been the best one i've seen so far; easy to use and with lots of room for you to make your pets do what you want.

I remember some other notable MMO did that too and went beyond that to give "legendary" players similar bonuses, making their characters dungeon bosses with custom AI that was disabled if they ever logged in.
You're just strolling along when suddenly you see a fucking raid boss strolling through town helping a newbie learn how to play.

>unsafe
Oh no, not my expired billing information

Depends on your choice of minion.

Some minions needed more micromanagement and macros to do well (for example, Ninjas). Others were what said.

MMs in general were extremely satisfying as a summoner class though.

I'm going PEEPEE in my poopoo

They added a ton of shit rapid fire during the Micro Transaction days. There was also stuff like, Street Justice (kick boxing type set) Pulse Rifle, Staff Fighting, Beast Summoning

Is secret world still alive and worth playin? I keep telling myself I’ll play it before it gets city of heroes treatment but I never do

>leveling
All of your old characters are still there, which kind of sucks honestly, I want us all to start over. I'll probably level whatever I can do all the endgame shit with easily, probably just go Brute or Scrapper so I can ride the wave of people who will clear the game and then get bored of it. Then I'll move on to characters that are just for me.

More complicated than most of the classes, but it never reaches FF14 levels of "what the fuck am I even doing". You get pets, the higher level you get, the more pets you'll slowly obtain. You can make them all focus a single target, return to your side but still be hostile to nearby enemies, or make them return to you and stay passive until their next command. You can also manually command them to stand in a specific spot for ambushes or just to draw aggro first. More advanced controls involve setting pets as aggressive so anything that gets close gets focused, or defensive so they won't attack until you take damage. When they're in defensive state, any damage that you take directly gets split between each pet, and the higher level you are, the more pets you have, which means further damage reductions. Pets cap at 6 total at lvl 32, but some powersets like Thugs Primary, Demon Primary, or Dark Miasma secondary powersets can summon more.

Combat basically revolves around your pets doing all the work, and you doing whatever you can to keep them alive with your buffs, debuffs and heals. You only get 2 single target powers, and one AoE power, all with mediocre damage so 90% of your damage will be coming from your pets.

As much as a faggot as he comes off here, this sounds like a good thing no? Seems like hes slowly caving.

>dealing with a subhuman scum
Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon.

Days or Weeks for the first servers if Leo says what he does. I think it will also take time for people to get their servers sorted out. Also whatever server goes up first is going to get hammered, it will take some amount of time for there to be just enough capacity to hold this initial tide of hype.

on paper, a Dark/dark tank or brute was SICK, but it drank End like nothing. to get it good was a very resource heavy build, needed lots of end reducers and tons of purples.

Neither. It was good he did it, but his motives for doing so are questionable at best.

>getting your broadsword/shield scrapper to lvl 35 so you can finally start killing Romulus for his sick Nictis sword and shield
I don't even like broadsword or shield but it was absolute bliss to swing around those sick purple weapons

Martial Arts was primarily kicking. It had some single-target CC value with the stuns and knockdown/knockbacks.
Super Strength was primarily punching. I think it was also Tanker/brute only as well.
Street Justice was a combination punching and kicking, and was a much MUCH later released powerset. It also had a system where you built up to 3 counters on yourself that a Finisher move got damage bonuses from.

I mainly had the Wolf Whistle and the Nemesis Staff and showed them off in atlas all the time

I don't think we give the original leaker fair dues.
Even if he did make an unfortunate call on who he distributed it to.

In the prism update Martial arts had alternative punching animations for all the skills. Super strength had some different ones also.

His reasoning behind leaking the server's existence boiled down to "They're being mean on reddit :("

He's a sidekick at best

he's a hero. his motives aren't questionable because he himself owned up to the fact that he didn't leak it himself until he played it so much he was bored of it. he also admitted that it did ruin the game for everyone else at the time and it was also selfish in a way (even though they did most of the gaslighting)

Titan Weapons had a momentum mechanic where your initial attack animations were slow as shit but when you started swinging everything started going faster.

go look at youtube for a mastermind ability called gang war. if you had the thugs powerset you get an ability that let you call in like 20-30 fairly weak "minions" that didn't quite act like the pets you already had and were slightly weaker but were numerous. lasted a short amount of time but it was always really cool to see it used, especially in a big fight.

Why would you use Light Theme dog, it looks so ugly, it's like half the client is already dark theme, stop ruining your eyes faster.

Way more options that DCUO, in basically every way. Almost endless build variety, costume variety, character variety, way more power combinations to create, all while feeling very balanced. The animation quality for combat is magnificent even in 2019, the cash shop basically doesn't exist, the music is a perfect mix of comfy, snazzy and disturbing. If you have even a little bit of creative potential, you will never see run into a player who looks anything like you. Gear doesn't affect your appearance, so you get to be your own character. You can make a 9 foot tall abomination or a 3 foot tall midget. Every class in the game is enjoyable to somebody, and no class feels completely worthless. Content difficulty can be adjusted in many ways, so players can make the game easier or harder if they want.

well there you go, lads. Harassment works.

I WANT TO FUCK YUVI IN HIS BASEMENT LAB

It was a superhero game with not only a fairly intricate and decent story, but also heavily involved your character without making you feel like too much of a mary sue.

It also has unparalleled character customization. It may lack the more intricate character options due to its age, but the amount of costume pieces and options makes it incredibly robust.

He context he's saying he didn't load the pvp zones on his server because no one did them I guess?

No, he clearly does not care about the PvP. In fact his version of the game may not even have those zones, or whatever private server they get up may just gut them, apparently.

The best you could get is Energy. Blasters can get a rocket launcher and a debuff that works like a scanner from your arm in late game, as well. There's nothing for pure mech characters, though. Maybe Radiation.

Tequila will download the i24 client files, paragon chat, and Icon. So yes.

No AT or primary/secondary combo was bad, you can do any content you want especially if you had IOs, thats the beauty of CoX

Tequila has an issue 24 installer, yeah

Warshade was the better version but you basically had 2 options: Make him pure human form that occasionally dabbles into one of the other shapeshifting powers, or have an underabundance of enhancement slots and way too many powers late game, basically forcing you into writing 5+ macros just to function well in combat.

this is basically a test spinup to see if shit works

>Whatever servers I set up will use the latest binaries and data that SCORE itself was using, internally referred to as "Issue 25: Unbroken Spirit". This is simply because it will be the fastest to deploy, since it already has tools for account creation, all the microtransaction garbage like the Paragon Rewards tree removed, and many other optimizations. I am sure there will be a lot of complaints about it not being a "pure" release that will want a lot of changes stripped. Have some patience. It will take much longer to get a server set up if I have to roll back my repositories to early 2013 and hunt down a version of the data files that would play nice with it and does not have massive gaps in content. I don't even think such a version exists. This was a massive reverse engineering that took months to get something usable.

I don't think PB's were THAT bad in the sense they certainly were playable, anything was "playable" I'd say in PvE they were still better than stalkers. As for Warshades they had some better skill synergy and unique combos. As a Warshade you could use Sunless Mire (does AoE Damage and gives you +Dmg and +toHit for each mob) shift into Black Dwarf form and do Black Dwarf Mire (same thing and it stacked) then shift into your damage dealing form Black Nova and pump. Warshades played like this were a bit better.

PB's on the other hand had Build up instead of this ability, and the buff duration on that was too low to really take advantage of shifting into the damage form.

The things he's saying are accurate. The reasons he's saying them are not accurate.

There's nothing stopping him from releasing the source code. Others can rebuild the server. He just wants people to NEED HIS server.

Extensive character creation.
Heaps of powerset combinations within each 'class', which can dramatically alter how they play.
The variety of powersets meant you could come up with a concept for a character and almost always wrangle a set of powers to fit that theme.

Movement and actions feel crisp, responsive.
Travel powers are great. Flight is complete freedom of movement. Super speed is sanic fast tho no innate verticality. Super jump is a satisfying midpoint between speed and ability to traverse terrain.

What you're up against also has a very natural progression from 1 to 50, escalating as you grow in power.
Levels 1 to 10? Fighting purse-snatchers on the streets. Smalltime street gangs with the odd arcane artifact, who can nevertheless give you some trouble.
40 to 50? You're tasked with charging through the ranks of highly advanced alien invaders.
There's also a lot of content out there and little danger of exhausting it.

Big if true

Any idea if the Architect system will be in the game? There used to be a specific mission you could farm for mad XP

His version has all of the F2P elements cut out, and new power sets, so I'm cool with keeping that.

Some people actually started complaining that they felt OP. A stalker. OP. My beloved archetype is now in the big leagues.

Well this weekend is going to be an example of new servers getting raped by the masses. I hope to play it next weekend though.

>maliciously fuck the community in the ass for years

I wonder how he handled the lootbox-type things the game had towards the end

That's fine and could even be the standard, but making everyone wait because you only want *YOUR* version of a game you stole out for people to play is fucking autistic.

There was a lot of those. Fiery Armor brutes/tanks/scrappers would farm missions with only fire damage dealing enemies because that set was really offensive with extra high res+ to fire. Easily the most popular method of farming shit/power leveling.

What made them so good? I might be a stalker then because Ninjitsu would fight my neckbeard character more.

So how do I get into this if the code is coming out and shit? Do I need to find a torrent for the original game or something?

I'll give it a shot even though I hated it back then.

We just wait for now.

you go into instanced missions that basically amount to slaughtering your way through a bunch of enemies or finding objectives. Sometimes you need to lead a hostage out. Or you can join up with a group and go street sweeping in a hazard zone.

Not even possible considering stalkers had a 1.00 melee mod compared to Scrappers 1.125.

I am. Can't wait to see all the cool characters people come up with. Also it just dawned on me that any pserver is gonna be crawling with Wojak and Pepes.

He could've easily fucked off and not given us anything, so we're happy he's doing something nice at least

Trying to squeeze the code out of him by buttering him up. He will be a footnote in the history of this game.

Instanced missions are solo or your party size?

Im not opposed to Spider samurai either.

Yep, according to a leaker, Fire Farms were the most popular on SCORE

Adding to , there were quite a few filler mission arcs but between those some which had some neat plots, or lore on certain factions.
Villainside had quite a few interesting mission arcs, especially from hidden NPC contacts you need to find yourself... with some of these having secondary requirements before they'll do business with you.

Yeah but that doesn't sound OP to me.
>use invisibility ability to sneak all the away across an instance map
Yeah but most of the rewards in this game was from clearing everything not skipping it all, and anyone could get invisibility if skipping stuff was important.
>one shot the boss with the assassination skill if you had the right slots
Yeah but still in any kind of longer engagement fight, out of stealth you didn't do much. I don't know, did they do any kind of stalker changes in i23 or something because those two things sound like stuff that was in i6, even in i6 I remember one shotting boss enemies on my stalker. Even a Blaster popping AIm+BU will destroy boss enemies in a few casts. I'm not saying you're wrong about stalkers being good, I just don't understand why.

no one knows yet

You can either explore the city street sweeping bad guys if you feel like, but the main content is instanced missions. You start out with a contact. After doing missions that don't just feel like fetch quests, he'll introduce you to a new contact, with new missions, fighting new enemies in new maps. Eventually, his storyline will split based on your choices in certain quests, and you're given the option to choose either contact A or contact B. Their storylines are completely different, and will then branch out into another introduction with either contact A2 or contact B2. Unless of course you chose A instead of B, then you can be introduced to contact A4 and B3. B3's storyline might end with a betryal of contact B2. The game has tons of branching storylines each with actual stories, and not just "oh you beat X but NOW Y SHOWED UP AND HE'S EVEN TOUGHER". It helps a lot with replayability and multiple character playthroughs.

There's of course "dungeons" which are more like a series of missions marathon'd one after the other, and of course they're team focused and much tougher than the average story mission. Completing "dungeons" will give you badges, collect certain badges from certain tasks as you play the game and you can unlock new permanent but minor bonuses for your character like 5% more max hp, 10% more max endurance. "Dungeons" also drop special tokens and if you collect enough tokens you can trade them in for decent gear that can make your character feel more polished in endgame. The game has a fuckton of content, and some content ranges from pretty relaxing to downright brutal. There's one "dungeon" that takes on average 4-8 hours for a team to complete. Not because it's hard, but because it's just mission after mission after mission, constant streams of enemies, and tons of exp for persevering all the way through.

And again, if something feels too easy for you, you can make the game as hard as you want.

It seems reasonable without having gone over the architecture for the game. Generally speaking, characters, npcs, various scripted things that would make up missions and so forth aren't actually source code material. They're more likely filled into databases that the core server calls on when appropriate. You typically don't have this as part of the source, as they're subject to editting, adding, and deleting data and you run into all sorts of issues if you hardcode that kind of shit in. One things goes in the wrong spot and whole servers come down.

That said, he could technically just release the data seperately. Though, he's right in that getting it all working properly by directly working with adequate server hardware owners will be the fastest way to live, as just dumping the data could take various groups time to work through it if it's not documented properly. Also, rolling back to 2013 data would be difficult even in the less complex games I've worked with, so I can't imagine what kind of spaghetti code would come out with 6 years of work on top of it.

Basically, we have what we need to run servers, but we don't have all the assets (characters, maps, npcs, etc) that leandro has. He has been cowed into submission, and he's helping people set up servers with all that data, and hopefully everything else will be public soon. We can hopefully expect a server to go up for testing within a day or two, and a public server is guaranteed at some point in the future.

I don't know when that was added, but I was never into stalkers. I played Blasters.

I'm not going to lie to you and say that CoH isn't a casual MMO. Because it absolutely is. If you're expecting hardcore raids or anything like that, then it probably won't be for you.

However, in CoH there's a ton of story content, lots of randomly generated content, mission architect for playing shit other people made. There are also raids, world encounters, badges, base building, PvP and lots of min-maxing with enhancements.

There's additional progression once you hit 50 in the way of the Incarnate system which makes you OP as fuck and of course lots of costume bullshit so you can make the prettiest hero around.

It's not really a themepark MMO since it's all built around the basic combat of going out and punching dudes. There's lots of different ways in which you can choose to engage in punching dudes. And it's up to you to figure out how you want to level, and because of the sidekick system you can play with anyone at any level.

I wanted to make a Mastermind, but it seems like almost everyone wants to make one of those, so I'll have to figure something else out.

HOOOOOOLY FUCK it's not actually the worst timeline, recommend something to jerk it to and I'll brb

Oh yeah that sounds new as fuck, I don't remember that at all.

>Ironwolf is looking to set up 50 goddamn desktops to run his server
absolute madlad

we are pretty close it seems, one of the last things they're trying to sort out is a webserver where they can host the client so we can download it + one more thing i don't quite get.

Leandro + one of the SCORE coders joined the SEGS discord chat last night really early in the morning at like 2-3, close to a hundred people in voice chat listening to him speak about everything that goes on and he tells us things about the code and shit + the problems with releasing it.

low iq illiterates like me got some knowledge on the inner workings a little bit more. he does all this while continuing to scrape the code for anything potentially damning to the leak. he hands the code off to someone at around 8-9 who double checks the code for anything left behind then released it.

everyone has everything they need to run a server, but some of the compiling will take a while. he is offering to put the binaries straight from the updated version of SCORE that was being shown by Stroyer. this will stop us from having to wait weeks and give us the ability to get in and play much faster.

I want to make a hero because that's what all the cool cats do (and hero zones are maximum comfy), but I naturally click with villain playstyles way more. Plus bank heists are amazingly fun.

Cute and funny

CoH was the first place I had encountered that faggoty word Toon for a character. While it sort of made sense in the context of the game, fuck that word and anyone who uses it.

One of my favorite parts about CoH was that you could combo two powersets, no matter what they were, and find success.

Of course you still have min-maxing and sets that worked supremely well together, but you didn't need it to finish missions.

There's a definite luxury in how simultaneously easy and hard CoX can be. Sidekicking for quick and easy level scaling as well as team compositions usually being lax meant it had the right amount of accessibility without sacrificing the harder runs for bigger rewards.

At first, with some procedurally generated indoor missions, a few designed levels, etc until you get to the real meat of the game which is running task forces and stuff. I really miss PVP base raids where supergroups would attack each other's personally built HQs. They're kind of like instances.

>I wanted a melee barehanded fighter with some ranged options
Martial Arts scrapper is very Sentai, and Street Justice is more brutish but still barehanded combat. Scrappers can get some ranged stuff around lvl 38-47 like shuriken, caltrops, laser beam eyes if you feel like that fits your theme more.

paragonwiki.com/wiki/Scrapper

This page shows all of the powers scrappers can get, and if you scroll down to the "Ancillary Power Pools" part you can see what kind of ranged options you can choose from.

Sounds worth checking out at the least. Thank you.

Ah to be one of those who never experienced this game before now. I almost envy you.

For the longest time it was because they had trouble conceptualizing it visually. The engine got various updates as the game went on and started being able to handle more complex visual effects.

Okay, real shit: what are the best power set combos as of the last issue? While I appreciate that this is going to be an experience, I want to make sure I get the most out of my first character, while everyone is still going absolutely mad and stampeding the servers.

none of the people actually working on a server, to be fair. Some of them have stuff up and running and are in-game, but it's still all spaghetti'd and not ready to be played for real just yet.

But this weekend is certainly possible if no one sleeps.

Leandro is. Are we making any content with him as the villain?

Water blast was added in i23. You could change the color to yellow and act like you were pissing on everyone

the guns in this game had really satisfying sound effects.

come to think of it, one of my favorite things about merc mastermind was if you played at a high enough graphics setting that the bullet casings would stay on the ground for quite a while. after some fights with your guys going full auto repeatedly the floor is covered in spent casings.

I actually loved that place. The beginning of Going Rogue was wild and the areas looked great. I got a special praetorian badge for hitting 50 with an ominous message about facing the emperor again. Such a cool alternate start.

I wouldn't say there are BEST combos, because some powersets worked better on solo, others better on group, that depends.

Some powersets from controller could be 99% CC but have almost zero damage, making it almost impossible to solo but in groups you could have more than half the enemies at each combat simply not fighting while your team fought the other half easily. While other powersets could deal a little more damage (but not so much, you are a controller, not a blaster or scrapper) but having less CC, better for solo, but maybe on groups people would want the other powerset.

If villain archetypes could be played, mastermind was the shit, if you like playing as a summoner, you felt your power rising little by little. At max minion count, you had 3 minions, 2 leutenants and 1 boss. It was one of the easiest AT to solo high difficulty missions.

.... I made up a fake water expansion.

Absolute, and battle axe was just as good. Really meaty combat feeling.

In the private server everyone is kissing Leo's ass and talking about how great and noble he is. It's really annoying. But at least everyone will be able to play City of Heroes (probably) which is the important thing out of this situation.

You think we'll see someone do a dedicated roleplaying server sooner than later?

Lies, Rock/Ice Melee, now THAT's a boring spec.

>If villain archetypes could be played
They definitely can, the game version is unofficially Issue 25
>mastermind was the shit
That was pretty much all I played while the game was out, other than my heroes which aren't worth mentioning because I was much younger and much dumber. MM was great, but I always felt people didn't really look for MMs for taskforces or whatever the raids were called.

The best part about CoH was that the powers were all really well balanced with each other. Taking the controller example, Fire had insane amounts of damage for a controller but less crowd control. Then you had Gravity control with a grand total of one (1) damage dealing power with a long animation time. The pet didn't even help you deal damage, it just PILED ON MOE CROWD CONTROL.

Exactly. If he wants to spin it then whatever man. The truth is out there one way or the other and got what we asked for.

i was poor as fuck and didnt know shit about mmos but i always saw videos about it and the concept always made me super interested in the game. shame that ncsoft seems to not give a fuck about it anymore.

Man, looking through this codebase makes me realize just how spoiled I am. I'm sure they didn't start from scratch, but the sheer amount of shit they had to implement there is fucking staggering.

I think lots of folks are finally getting a taste of what could've been all these years and loving every bit of it, but they've been conditioned to suck his dick 24/7 so they can't help but praise him all the time.

So to get the client you'd need for the server, do you grab it off Leandro's Tequila download?

I never got to play the game when it was still up before, but Necromancy is apparently one of the powersets. How do? Necromancy is my fucking jam.

That's why I liked Going Rogue so much. Was able to play all my sweet villain ATs on hero side with all my friends. Robbing banks was super fun though. That and mayhem missions where you run around just blowing up everything. As an MM it was fucking hysterical to send demons or zombies around destroying everything.
>fuck this entire parking lot
>fuck this stop sign

Robbing banks was so much fun, especially as a Mastermind.

Nobody knows, but I think Leo's referenced the Tequila launcher as the main launcher for his private server

MORE SPIKES, MORE BLACK, MORE FLAMES

NOMURAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I can't remember if I was in a guild, but I'm pretty sure I played some taskforces, a MM focusing on one enemy could easily match the dps of the dps classes.

The problem with MM minions was controlling them, because if I'm not wrong, they could attract aggro too, and when moving around maps, they loved taking the route with more enemies.

But if I remember correctly, they patches it so if you were flying minions would fly with you? Or maybe I just imagined it.

I can't tell if my younger self was racist or not.

Shocked I didn't get banned.

City of Villains, necromancy was one of the powers/themes of the Mastermind class.

it's likely going to be a separate download once a server gets up and running for the public

It's good. The Lich actually kind of sucks because it's exclusively CC with poor damage, which is a huge disappointment when you start from high damage lifeless husks, to insane damage undead viking knights, and then get that shit. Just remember to not put damage into Lich and the powerset is fucking sick otherwise. It was my first 50 back in 2005

it was a villian powerset for masterminds. there is a zombie powerset and a demon powerset.

paragonwiki.com/wiki/Necromancy
paragonwiki.com/wiki/Demon_Summoning

Leo should have been doing this from the fucking start.

AR had fantastic sounds all around. Was so happy when customisable weapons came in.
Grav/Storm Controllers were pretty cool with debris activated.
Shoots fork-lifts, crates and toilets at people indiscriminately, with it all spiraling round when caught in the snow storm.

I remember there being a Hero back in the day I really liked. His name was something like, Millennium Cockroach and his backstory was something like he was a Hyper intelligent evolved roach that was the product of a destroyed world brought my eventual nuclear devastation. And in order to save the world he figured out a way to hurdle himself back in time to find out a way to stop the Nuclear Holocaust but also ultimately sacrificing his existence in doing so. Or something like this, I think it was written better, I can't remember where I first saw a screenshot of this character. Anyways just steal that.

You got the mastermind, who could raise zombies minons, or you could make a solo character who used darkness to damage and buff/debuff.

>using granite armor for the first time

Attached: 5c7.jpg (324x291, 13K)

It is a mastermind (summoner) powerset, you summoned zombies if I'm not wrong, if you want to be the most obvious necromancer, pick dark as the secondary powerset.

>they patches it so if you were flying minions would fly with you
You could get group fly, jump, and teleport, but they are all pretty shit, and fly ruins everyone's to hit chance and was genuinely seen as one of the most annoying abilities in the game. With group jump they'd lag behind and lose it, and group teleport was extremely endurance intensive iirc. If they actually made it so they just travel with you faster automatically that would be very nice.

>you can make the game as hard as you want.
>tfw even +4/x8 settings just weren't fucking enough for you
Max difficulty still wasn't hard enough for everything though. Shield defense was so fucking busted.
At least until you fought rularuu with it.

I think Leo's biggest failing as a person was being an autistic idiot

How would one go about playing/building one? I don't care about minmaxing but I'd like to have an idea of what I'm getting into/how to build.

On my server you will finally be able to create Heroes based on Marvel/DC IP without being renamed like they had to do on live.

But Anime characters are perma banned

Edgelords, our time has come once again.

>roll a Mastermind
>pick Necromancy
>summon your zambabalos
>command them to consume the flesh of the living
>repeat

for masterminds you generally didn't want to pick any of the attack options you had inyour main powerset and instead wanted to pick up whatever was your secondary powerset in place of all the damage attacks while you were levelling up.

you really can't go wrong though, it all just works.

iirc the progression for MM was practically automatic. You got a minion, next level was an upgrade skill, then another minion, then a better upgrade skill. The only real issue is picking your secondary power set. During my time it was force fields or traps, but apparently they got new secondary power sets I never got to try, some that may even be better.

>create a supergroup in honor of /ourleaker/
>build it up, put teleporters to every zone in there
>regularly run missions together to grow the community we build on Yea Forums
I cant fucking wait

So in other words I pretty much can't possibly fuck this up. Perfect.

Look up pet macros for masterminds. The mastermind class was nice in that you could play any of its pet classes(including necro) out of the box, but if you set up control macros for them, the amount of fine control you had over your minions was amazing.
You should still be able to find that shit for every mastermind set they had.

That's basically Buzz Buzz from Earthbound.

Guys, I need to go to sleep, but I need to ask you a favor.

The original MM powersets are mostly trash, with the exception of robotics. And that's only because robotics has -regen.

yeah there's no actual server out, but everyone is celebrating in paragon and having a big costume contest

Fat neckbeard super group?

we might get moved to /vg/ again at some point, but we'll be here

is your main character big boss?

He looks a lot like him, but not really in a way that I'd notice if you didn't point it out.

Me had champions online but all my friends keep talking about how city of heroes was even better so now I can see

He does look like Big Boss but that's okay user

Necro/Dark Miasma is a very common combination for obvious reasons. Keeps the theme together, but dark miasma is also an insanely strong supportive powerset. It has an accuracy dependent AoE heal, tons of debuffs to make sure that your pets never need to be healed, and at around lvl 38 you can even a shadowy figure as your 7th pet. Most MMs are stuck with 6 pets total, but Necromancy has an ability to rip the soul out of one of his recently killed pets, so necro/dark miasma gives you a total of 8 pets out at once.

One thing to know about CoH is that when you're slotting powers (gearing up) you get pretty severe diminishing returns if you try to use more than 2 of the same enhancement in one power. Zombies will usually get 2 damage enhancements, Grave Knights will get 2 damage enhancements. 3 is sometimes worth it but usually overkill. Try to slot some accuracy into your AoE heal as soon as possible, because the base accuracy is pretty bad and it's fucking miserable when you miss 3+ heals in a row.

As an MM, I think they play best when you sic your pets after the weakest targets first, and slowly moving up the chain until just the tough enemies are left. While your pets focus on the trash, you should be debuffing the tougher enemies.

ED was balanced around 3 SOs, so yeah diminishing returns kicked in when Invention IOs came out and their values were about 2 IOs = 3 SOs
Inventions were a really great upgrade to the system. It makes me made thinking about how Jack refused Positron's pitch for them one point early on apparently when they were spitballing Out of Combat Skills Systems, but Posi later developed/implemented the Invention crafting system when he was the one in charge.

Dark Miasma and Kinetics are the only 2 heals in the game that rely on accuracy, because in order to heal your allies you need to first hit an enemy. It's both an enemy debuff and a team heal at the same time.

League of Incels?

>wholesome and fun things happening on Yea Forums

that was it! thank you! Sons of Stroyer would be our name and (ideally) we would have constant groups running different things like Sewer Trial to level 20

>XMPP account
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Some heals are shit like life drains that need an enemy to work and those can miss. Direct target heals I don't think can miss.

Played this way too long for me to remember anything about the game properly and I just fumbled around as a Spines Stalker back when I did. Would it make sense to get a Psychic secondary as a Radiation primary Blaster or would the defense ignorance be enough on its own?

Crab spiders can wear new outfits start from lvl 10, but you're stuck with the backpack forever since it's gameplay related.
