new powersets

damian7 · October 2006

i see the vet rewards for i8. those are interesting enough. i'm not going to ask when i8's latest release date will be... just wondering if anyone has seen what new villain/hero powersets will be included?

also, inventions are going to be in i8, correct?

thanks.

No new powersets in I8/Veteran Rewards.

Inventions are I9.

not to be a downer or anything, but that seriously sucks. a year, TWO issues, and just a couple of new villain powersets in all that time.

I fully agree with you here. New powersets have a direct effect on how much I play, so they're one of the best things they can do to keep me subscribing.

On top of that, I8 has a lot of new animations. Several new flight poses (which have been pulled because many didn't like them.) New different Build Up and Aim looks for each powerset. And a few new emotes. Since we're always told that "animation time" is the hardest part of putting in a new powerset, I think they wasted their efforts a bit here.

That said, the new Faultline is pretty cool. I particularly like the "ruined lab" mission tilesets.

you mentioned new flight poses... you mean like how you look when you fly right? im not subscribing to the game right now, but how many new? and how do they look? if i already got a char with flight, it just pops up asking me what i want?
and when do i get to decide what flight pose i want?

We cant control flight poses were in at this time. That comes in I9. At this point your randomly assigned a pose when you take off. The inventions are a bit hard to explain. Id recommend digging thru older articles of CoX. One of the devs explained it. Suffice it, its the closest thing to crafting CoX will ever have had. Youll be collecting materials just like for building parts for bases. In anycase Im realy enjoying I8 and I do like the new tilesets. Frankly with a charecter of every class and mix ill be busy for so long that I wont even notice new powers hehe.

you randomly get assigned to a flight pose? i thought there were only one..the one with his/her legs crossed :S (is it new from i8?)
you said you like the new tilesets, whats that?

Oh the new tileset for the dungeons. They have a broken lab tileset. Not sure if there more or not though.
I actually think now is a good time to restart the game. Try playing as a Freelance Merc-Security guards doing just Safeguard missions. Theres a really nice flow to that playstyle.

yeah, but that didnt really answwer my questin.. what is a "tileset"?? and what about the flight poses?

damian7 · November 2006

the tilesets are either the actual flooring, or the maps themselves, not sure what he/she means.

i know i've seen a couple of new maps... like a warehouse that has both the open area boss room and across the way from it is the boss room where you have to go up the stairs and thru the break room to get to, along with different stuff in the map itself.

i've seen a lab one where it's at a tilt and flooring juts up here and there and it looks like it's been thru a war (which it had been according to the storyline).

but yeah, seems they've added a number of new maps and even a few different mission types since i'd played last. slowly they're making it NOT so repetitive. i think the three pvp zones helps that out some also, for me at least.

Tile sets are essentially different wall dressing for the missions,
i.e. having you run around a sewer instead of a office building.
From my understanding they will be adding even more in I9 with the
start of next years big back ground story arch.
