== Relative major editing overhaul ==
+
{{Archive box|[[/Archived July 7, 2006]]}}
  
−
Hey guys, don't take the edits personally, you added ''fantastic'' information that is priceless. I did want to standardize the format, though. For example, some of the powers were bulleted, some where indented, and some didn't have any kind of formatting applied (I prefer no formatting, using the icon itself as the bullet).  Also, I removed all of the sigs (this is recorded in the article's history) and notes (those belong here, not in the article itself).  I also spelled out all effects (I prefer "Damage over Time" to "DoT" since non-RPG'ers may be reading the articles) and corrected some grammatical, spelling, and capitalization errors.
+
== about differences between games... ==
  
−
I still plan to tweak the article some, and at some point, I'll add some images of the enemies themselves.  Maybe this article will eventually serve as the template to use as all villain group articles.
+
o.o gaa, there's alot on here, I went through and skimmed most of the chat to make sure no one mentioned it.. (and I'm fairly sure no one has..)

Anyway, CoT mobs between CoH and CoV are different in respect that the CoV has a number of types that CoH doesn't have (yet (hopefully)). It might be just me... but shouldn't the CoV only ones be marked as such? if for no other reason that to avoid new readers who go into a cot mission in the hollows and expect to get to see hoardlings or sucubii or something.. this only really effects CoT as far as I know.. family has a new subgroup in the Mooks.. and the council didn't get anything right? --[[User:Sleepykitty|Sleepy Kitty]] 11:08, 7 July 2006 (PDT)

:I never take an edit personally.  I'm new to wiki, but from what I read, that's probably a number one rule.  I altered the [[Template:Power|Power Template]] I created to match to format you put these in. 
+
: No worries, it was mostly discussion about formatting, dating from before we had the discussion board.  I've gone ahead and archived it.
 +
: As for marking CoH/CoV only?  Might be tough, because you'd have to do it both ways, and that would be a lot of work.  No real opinion as of yet, still thinking it over.  --[[User:StarGeek|StarGeek]] 20:00, 7 July 2006 (PDT)
  
−
:How about a discussion or help page with some of the basics you want for enemy page formatting. I know you looked at the [[Council]] page I put up and just SCREAMED :D (there are just too many of those guys). --[[User:StarGeek|StarGeek]] 13:19, 25 Jan 2006 (CST)

:: <.< there are no CoH only CoT... so you only have to mark the CoV only. Or perhapse a small mention in the info or overview about which ones only appear on cov side.. --[[User:Sleepykitty|Sleepy Kitty]] 01:03, 8 July 2006 (PDT)

:Re: Notes.  I was thinking that some notes really should be within the Mob (BTW, what I mean when I say [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mob_(computer_gaming)| Mob].  Yes, I'm old school) entry.  Yes, opinons should be on the discussion page (i.e. ''Many consider them overpowered due to their debuffs and siphon life skills.'') but there are others that would get lost in a discussion page, esp. on a page with so many different types.  Off hand, I would think that the following would be examples of notes belonging in the entry:
 
−
:*Historical notes (i.e. ''Nerva Spectral Daemon made their appearence in Issue 6''),
 
−
:*Discrepancies (i.e ''[[Turrets#Dual Artillery Gun|The Dual Cannon]] attack says it's a Lethal damage attack in the info window, but the combat chat window text says it's energy damage.''),
 
−
:*Bugs (i.e ''Devouring Earth Eminators have ceased to drop with Issue 5'')
 
−
:*Characteristics (i.e. ''Observers can see invisible heroes and have inherent flight and can't be knocked down.'')
 
−
: But it's your site, so it's your rules, Tony :D  Hmmm... this all looks like it needs a seperate discussion page, since it's getting off the topic of CoT.  --[[User:StarGeek|StarGeek]] 14:42, 25 Jan 2006 (CST)
 
  
 +
::: Oh, it doesen't happen to the CoT only. Crey Public Relations are exclusive of CoV so far. So are the Wailers, or the Consortium Guards, or many others...
  
−
Got it!
+
:::I knew this would be an issue sooner or later... Well, no worries, I have tought about this as well. My idea is to add the portrait of the mob just at his title, with *blue* background for the ones you find in CoH, and *red* background for the ones you find only in CoV. Both colors if the mob can be found in both games.
−
Reworking the CoT section to the "legal" template then!
+
−
And adding some of these notes would be a good idea, IMHO: if the info is not an opinion but an objetive fact, it would be part of the info on a mob =) ...And it´s true we are getting off-topic here, lol! =)

Hi there!
+
:::So the next logic question is: "Why hasn't that been done yet?" The answer is simple. Think of the work involved: you have to track every single mob, every single mission (some like the Lead Outcasts are present in a very limited number of missions in CoV...perhaps only in one) Besides, I have still a ton of info to enter to the site, the day has only 24 hours, and I can only be typing a certain ammount of hours at a day before my head starts spinning... =P

I´ll try to explain myself:
+
:::: ^^;; needent go that far. it is a good idea, but for the most part, every faction in coh that is also in cov has all the same ppl spawn in it. Spawns that are cov only aren't linked to the coh side right? its only those couple of oddball cases where there are extra mobs of that faction for coV but none for coH. o.o Am I correct in assuming this is a purly coV thing and there aren't ppl that only spawn in coh for factions in both? I wasn't aware of the Crey one as well.. but thats only to factions where this is the case? the portraits idea sounds good, and probably would look good as well... but it would be a time killer, and most mobs don't have pics up to add the frames to..

-Gramatical errors:
+
:::: I'm not asking that anyone go crazzy with big alterations to the layout, organization or anything like that. ^^ I just though a quick '''NOTE: this minion/lueit/boss/Monster is only found in CoV instances of this faction''', or something similar, would be good to have on the rare nail sticking out. --[[User:Sleepykitty|Sleepy Kitty]] 09:07, 8 July 2006 (PDT)

Well, I have been copying literally mob info and attacks, including MMO slang (DoT, AoE and such)...didn´t stop to think someone could not understand it, you are right. I can put the whole words instead of acronyms, it´s no problem =)
+
−
Kept the gramatical errors in the hope that we could make a list someday with all of them and send it to the devs, rather than report the errors one by one... It´s more likely than they will adress the issue that way, IMHO =)
+
−
Anyways don´t worry...between those errors already in game text and the new ones I have made now in the section while copying, I´m sure mostly everything has errors now. Being a non-English speaker doesen´t help much, either...=P
+
  
−
-Added signature:
+
== Enemy Order ==
−
I know how things are in the Net. Sooner or later, someone comes and flames the site saying mob A can´t have this or that attack, mob B can´t be like that...etc, etc, etc... Well: this way they have the responsible for the comments just there (that´s me). I´ll be very pleased to prove what I have said here is true, as I keep screenshots of everything =). That way, problem solved.
+
  
−
-Images and graphics:
+
Should the enemies be ordered by name ( Energy > Force > Life > Soul ) or by level ( Life > Energy > Force > Soul )? I find the second way more intuitive to a player... - [[User:Baalus Seth|Baalus Seth]]
−
Let´s not fool ourselves: when it comes to computers I´m still in the Stone Age. I wouldn´t be able to program a computer even if my life would depend of it. Sad but true =/.
+
−
That means that I do the things the simplest way I can...the one I understand, thats is =). I don`t know if I have done things right here...All I can say in my defense is that all seemed to work... Anyways I´ll be pleased if someone checks the info I provide and makes sure images are linked correctly and all that technical/programming voodoo =P
+
−
Please someone check the images, as there´s still a ton of info to come! =)
+
  
 +
: I'm a fan of alphabetical in all situations.  It's the most intuitive you can get.

:::Both Kung Fu and Geek here are right: In City of Heroes Possessed Scientists are present near Portal Corp in such number that it's impossible to ignore them.

:You can create a section at any time.  The easy way is to type the name (say Nemesis) into the search box on the left and click '''Go'''.  There will be a link called '''create an article with this title''' near the top. Click it and start adding info. You can copy the template from a previous entry (not the CoT one, unless you're into pain :D) and remove the previous references.  At least, that's what I've been doing. :D  --[[User:StarGeek|StarGeek]] 12:30, 25 Jan 2006 (CST)

Just two things I forgot to mention:
+
Tell me, which looks better:
  
−
-Named mobs:
+
''Powers''
−
I use this title over "Named Bosses" because some named mobs are Lieutenants and even Minions. Well, anyways something should be done about that section. My list of named mobs for the Circle of Thorns has 48 names on it...and that´s now that I have barely started to explore CoV: expect some more to come. Other groups like Malta or Nemesis have similar numbers, while The Council has a whooping 109 names in my list. Nedless to say, adding such ammount of names could screw the page for dubiously useful information...perhaps the nameds mobs should be added in another page, or their own section, or something.
+
  
−
-Images:
+
{{Power|[[File:IceBlast IceBlast.png|22px]]| Ice Blast| Ranged, Moderate Damage (Cold/Smash),  Foe -Recharge, -Speed| Ice Blast hurls shards of ice at foes and Slows their attacks and movement for a time. Slower recharge than Ice Bolt, but more damage. Damage: Moderate, Recharge: Moderate. }}
−
¿Can´t we use the little portraits which show up at the mob info in game? They would take little space to upload and seem good enough to me. Putting them aside by the mob´s name would complement the info...What do you think about it? =)
+
  
−
: I've been adding images as I go when I'm soloing.  You can upload them through the Upload File link on the left, though I wouldn't suggest full screen shots.  I use [http://IrfanView.com IrfanView] to quickly cut, resize and alter the images.  You can then add them into the page.  I think the format Tony started was '''<nowiki>[[Image:Image Name|100px|Thumb]]</nowiki>'''. But check the [[Help:Preloaded_Images|Image page]] to make a picture of it hasn't already been uploaded. --[[User:StarGeek|StarGeek]] 12:41, 25 Jan 2006 (CST)

:Don't stress it :D (need to upload a smiley image).  The Power Template is only something I was testing out and Tony hasn't said whether he wants to use it or not.  It still has a problem if there isn't a power icon added, as it will show <nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki> if there isn't something in that slot.  I did notice that there is a Power Missing icon [[Image:Power Missing.png|22px]], though.  I tried setting up a default if there wasn't something there, but it wouldn't work for me :( .  --[[User:StarGeek|StarGeek]] 14:05, 26 Jan 2006 (CST)

oooooor

There is no possible description, as they can´t be targeted.
 
  
−
: Ya never know what isn't possible :D  Updated descriptions from the data files to have a complete entry.  But should these be here?  I could make a good argument for and against. They do appear with the CoT spawns, but then maybe the Objects category would be better (tryed to link there, but didn't work :( .  Then again, they aren't targetable, so maybe a seperate category, say something like Enviromental Objects?  --[[User:StarGeek|StarGeek]] 11:54, 27 Jan 2006 (CST)

−
:Also, changed icon for Crystal of Pain, since the icon Yakovlev used was misleading. A power icon with a shield indicates it's a defense buff or debuff. A damage type would be more appropriate.

Well, technically there is a ton of items! Most of them have no effect at all and just explode when destroyed...I tought it was a good idea to put in their respective factions those which can affect players characters in any way =)
+
  
−
These always appear in Oranbega or areas with very high density of CoT mobs, so I tought it would be a good idea to put them here...anyways, you are right: these things are objects too...why not put them in both sections? That would solve it, and it´s not much space =D
+
'''Plus'''
  
−
Icon: I'm using the Red Shield Icon to mark powers which are unknown to me, as that will make an easy way for someone else to track which powers are registered yet still unknown.

about differences between games...

o.o gaa, there's alot on here, I went through and skimmed most of the chat to make sure no one mentioned it.. (and I'm fairly sure no one has..)

Anyway, CoT mobs between CoH and CoV are different in respect that the CoV has a number of types that CoH doesn't have (yet (hopefully)). It might be just me... but shouldn't the CoV only ones be marked as such? if for no other reason that to avoid new readers who go into a cot mission in the hollows and expect to get to see hoardlings or sucubii or something.. this only really effects CoT as far as I know.. family has a new subgroup in the Mooks.. and the council didn't get anything right? --Sleepy Kitty 11:08, 7 July 2006 (PDT)

No worries, it was mostly discussion about formatting, dating from before we had the discussion board. I've gone ahead and archived it.
As for marking CoH/CoV only? Might be tough, because you'd have to do it both ways, and that would be a lot of work. No real opinion as of yet, still thinking it over. --StarGeek 20:00, 7 July 2006 (PDT)
<.< there are no CoH only CoT... so you only have to mark the CoV only. Or perhapse a small mention in the info or overview about which ones only appear on cov side.. --Sleepy Kitty 01:03, 8 July 2006 (PDT)


Oh, it doesen't happen to the CoT only. Crey Public Relations are exclusive of CoV so far. So are the Wailers, or the Consortium Guards, or many others...
I knew this would be an issue sooner or later... Well, no worries, I have tought about this as well. My idea is to add the portrait of the mob just at his title, with *blue* background for the ones you find in CoH, and *red* background for the ones you find only in CoV. Both colors if the mob can be found in both games.
To avoid further confussion, the portarits of those mobs you can find *only* in missions will be half-sized.
It's a simple and easy to implement system that should give the reader a idea of what he can find and where.
So the next logic question is: "Why hasn't that been done yet?" The answer is simple. Think of the work involved: you have to track every single mob, every single mission (some like the Lead Outcasts are present in a very limited number of missions in CoV...perhaps only in one) Besides, I have still a ton of info to enter to the site, the day has only 24 hours, and I can only be typing a certain ammount of hours at a day before my head starts spinning... =P

Enemy Order

Should the enemies be ordered by name ( Energy > Force > Life > Soul ) or by level ( Life > Energy > Force > Soul )? I find the second way more intuitive to a player... - Baalus Seth

I'm a fan of alphabetical in all situations. It's the most intuitive you can get. While it may be obvious to you, who's played the game a while, unless you do something to make it obvious that it's by level, it's not very intuitive to someone brand new to the game. -- StarGeekTalk page 11:05, 15 October 2006 (PDT)
In fact I am - I'm doing my research slowly, affixing level ranges to mobs :) - Baalus Seth 12:03, 15 October 2006 (PDT)

Posessed Scientists?

Do they appear anywhere other than in instanced missions? - Baalus Seth 08:05, 27 September 2006 (PDT)

I believe I saw some on Thorn Isle in the Nerva Archipelago. --Kung-Fu Jesus 08:17, 27 September 2006 (PDT)
They appear all around the Portal Corp. compound. Actually, in CoH, I don't recall them ever appearing in a mission. -- StarGeekTalk page 11:52, 27 September 2006 (PDT)
Both Kung Fu and Geek here are right: In City of Heroes Possessed Scientists are present near Portal Corp in such number that it's impossible to ignore them. In City of Villains they seem to be much rarer, and I have seen them only in Thorn Isle so far. I have nerver found them so far in any missions, at least yet (level 30). --Yakovlev 00:11, 28 September 2006 (PDT)

Faction Member Powers and Statistics

  • 'Agony Mages have a 10% resistance to to-hit debuffs. I believe that this should be added to the main page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arkonae (talk • contribs) 06:07, 6 September 2010

Casters formatting

Tell me, which looks better:

Powers

IceBlast IceBlast.png Ice Blast Ranged, Moderate Damage (Cold/Smash), Foe -Recharge, -Speed
Ice Blast hurls shards of ice at foes and Slows their attacks and movement for a time. Slower recharge than Ice Bolt, but more damage. Damage: Moderate, Recharge: Moderate.

IceFormation Chillblains.png Chilblain Ranged, Low Cold Damage, Foe Immobilize
Immobilize your target in an icy trap. Deals some damage over time and slightly slows the target movement and attack speed.

IcyOnslaught IceSword.png Ice Sword Melee, Moderate Damage(Cold/Lethal), Foe -Recharge, -Speed
You create a blade of solid ice that deals good damage. Being hit by this Ice Sword will Slow a target's movement and attack speed, due to the intense chill. Damage: Moderate, Recharge: Moderate.

IceArmor IceArmor.png Frozen Armor Self, +Resistance (24% Smash, 24% Lethal, 8% Fire, 16% Cold, 16% Toxic)
While this power is active, you coat yourself in rock hard Frozen Armor. The hardness of the Frozen Armor offers good defense to Smashing and Lethal attack as well as reduces Cold damage. Also, Fire attacks deal slightly less damage. Recharge: Very Fast.

One or none of the following:

IceBlast BitterFrostBlast.png Bitter Ice Blast Ranged, Superior Damage (Cold/Smash), Foe -Recharge, -Speed, -Accuracy
A slower yet more powerful version of Ice Blast, Bitter Ice Blast deals much more damage and can also reduce your enemy's Accuracy. Like other Ice Blast powers, Bitter Ice Blast can Slow a target's movement and attack speed. Damage: Superior, Recharge: Slow.

IceFormation BlockOfIce.png Block of Ice Ranged, Moderate Damage (Cold) Foe: Hold -Speed -Recharge
You can freeze a single foe in a Block of Ice. The target is frozen solid, helpless, and can be attacked. More powerful foes may not be held, but all affected targets will be slowed and take some cold damage.


oooooor

Updated Human Art

This page could use updated screenshots to reflect the recent art changes of Human members. I'll try to contribute, but I'm not very good at image editing. --Variatas 19:28, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Also, should a Historical section be added to reflect when the change occurred? --Thirty7 21:01, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
I added a good deal of images to update the ones here to their new looks... there are still a few yet to be added, including folks like Baron Zoria. --Thirty7 23:38, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
Historical section at the bottom and a gallery of old NPCs should suffice, I think.  :3 Sera404 23:40, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
Okay, all of the human Mages (excluding Libri Vermis who is not in the AE for some reason) are now changed over... critique my images all you like.  :) --Thirty7 00:54, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
Woot, just snagged a shot of the new Libri Vermis and put him in there as well! Personally, I like the old one better.  :( --Thirty7 03:08, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
