RE: walking slow 

What you may have seen is Stone tankers in the 'rooted' armour. This reduces their run speed considerably. Also, they may have been hit with slowing attacks from the villains.

RE: walking slow 

I actually would really like an emote or key command that lets you simply walk. It's bad enough that characters always jog from point A to point B, even if it's just a few yards, but it just gets silly with "huge" characters who actually lumber around instead of jogging. I actually get jealous for my huge tankers when I see Supa Trolls walking around like normal people in Skyway.

I've gotten this weird little bug on occasion running a Scrap or a Tank and using the follow option. I believe that all of the major mez protection powers in the Tanker sets like Rooted or Unyeilding also have -movement. They used to be "No Movement" back when we played COH on stone tablets.....lol.

It's easy to spot the Stone armor version. did it look like they just stepped in an inordinately large pile of doggy doo? Have some "mud" on their feet? I have a stone tank.... so I can make all the fun I want. I love my mud shoes..... I also love my friends with Kinetics. Only toon I'll go out of my way to ask for SB on >^__^< /e Begs for Speed Boost

You think that's slow, try Rooted with Granite Armor.
To quote the movie The Crow: "I hate it when they do that walkin against the wind s**t"

RE: walking slow - Archmage with no inherent speed increase 


Maybe the have hit Eye of Mangus from the Archmage Accolade.
it has -spd, with no other speed boosters and some charactors do not have inherent sprint.....maybe that s slow enough?

I think Iscilla hit it on the head with this one. You see people walking slow, or walking in place because their computer is not in sync with the game server. Its trying to translate the last thing you did before you lost connection. Everyone else in view is still connected, so you see them doing some weird stuff.

If this isn't what you were talking about...never mind my rambling, lol.

Agreed. This is what I think it is, too. When you are experiencing lag, this is how others see your toon.

RE: walking slow 

I know what Sacred Hero is talking about. I've seen the occasional hero just walking. And this isn't the 'this hero has disconnected' slow motion run, either. I'd like to know how it's done too.

RE: walking slow 

To do it you tap forwards fast, but shhh don't tell people. I'm not joking, just tap 'W' quite fast rather than holding it and you'll walk.

RE: walking slow 

I know the video the thread opener is talking about.
It's the video preview about the introduction of the veteran reward system.
Several toons with different veteran rewards like trenchcoats or samurai armor literally walked through Kings Row.
Link
The video is simply called "veteran rewards".

RE: walking slow 

Walking can only be done in demos. It can't be done in the real-time game. I think it's to give the players a constant sense of urgancy.

RE: walking slow 

Why can't we get a power like "sprint" for "walk"?
A toogle...when activ your movement is walking.
Could be a prestigepower like the veteran sprint-powers.
Couldn't be a technical problem.
Every NPC can "walk"...only heroes run around like the White Rabbit.

RE: walking slow 

or instead of "slow running" w/out sprint on, have them walk



Studies show that 92% of teens listen to rap.
If you are part of the 8% that listens to real music, then add this to your signature.

I'm gonna have to agree here. Is either they intend to have that sense of urgency, or they were just too damn lazy to have an actual walking pace.



Big Chill is a conscranker: he conrols a mob so they do nothing, scraps a target till they can't stand, and tanks what's left till the job's done.

Dive in, have fun, and think about it later.
