    Tech Issues and bugs will get you the best, most knowledgeable responses.

    (under development if you want to navigate there directly)
  2. I dont have any info but the methodology is:

    Using the temp power analyzer, or surveilance would let you examine a debuff on an AV, note its magnitude and then exit, change settings come back and check it versus the same foe at EB level.

    Oh and the Und3rn3t is for Pr0n!
  4. Unslotted dull pain hits the stalker cap.

    +HP is not a high priority for a regen stalker at all due to this.
  5. Damage procs are not affected by buffs or DEBUFFS.

    Nifty for say a Super Strength tank/brute when rage crashes

    The big question for me is how will this work on the winter slopes for my non-jumpers.

    Will it provide enough control and speed to hit the gold ?

    Lexicographer Tony Thorne, in his 1990 Dictionary of Contemporary Slang (ISBN 0-7475-2856-X), reports instances of "smeg" (and derivatives) being used as a term of "mild contempt and even affection" among "schoolboys, students and punks" as early as the mid-1970s — a decade or so prior to the inception of the Red Dwarf phenomenon — and claims unequivocally that the etymology of the term traces back to "smegma".

  8. A rad/sonic defender is great
  9. I sold the 2 Numina that dropped for me in the last 2 days.

    They were both at level 50 and I crafted them for extra profit.

    WSPR radio is on the case for someone severing hands whilst people are sleeping. RIP are baffled.
  13. I dunno, 'Jerk mode' Honoree and Statesman would probably be up there as well.

    New Publishers?

    2 patches rolled back out of the 22 this year

    'Every patch' is very far from the reality.

    I would hate this, buffing on the fly is far more preferable than gathering, to say nothing of significantly safer when say bubbling a tank who has the attention of an AV.

    Most people I run with would flat out ignore (not necessarily /ignore) someone who was spamming AP broadcast repeatedly for a sewer team like that.

    Likely to earn the 1 star avoid teaming with rank as well

    Any QA Left?

    I'm trying hard to remember patch rollbacks in the game. I think we have had 4 in total.

    The fact that two of them have been recently could be just bad luck or could be a sign of a decrease in the quality of the QA process.. I'm thinking its the former.*



    *future events may change this thinking.
  19. I know we have a good number of service and ex-service folks on the server.

    This year at Westminster Abbey was the first Armistice Day service without a WW1 veteran present.

    There are 3 recognized WW1 Vets left alive, One English but Emigrated to Australia (also fought in WWII), one Canadian and one US Doughboy.

    Personally that is a very sobering thought, that very soon the horror that was will have passed beyond living memory.

    Oh Heya Obs, grats on the accomplishment and all that, been great having you pantsless alongside the rest of us.

  22. I got quite a few (like 2 boxes IIRC) unopened packs of the CCG.

    It was rather a fun little thing to play. I'll probably break open some packs at Thanksgiving a play with my nephews and nieces.

    However, I doubt it will ever become available as the devs don't see any one individual owning a SG... and so won't let there be name changes, etc.


    With the advent of the Super-Leader the latter point is much more debatable than it once was.

    Im reminded of the scene from Zulu.
    (paraphrasing as it has been a while)

    Boer: How far can you redcoats march in a day?
    Solider: 20 maybe 30 miles innit.
    Boer: A Zulu regiment can run, RUN 60 miles and fight a battle at the end of it.
    Solider: Well thats daft innit. I can't see any sense in running to fight a battle.


    A Zulu scrapper, that could work out nicely.
    Altitis has been enabled once again.
  25. Emperor Cole is being besmirched and the name is one given to him by the war criminal Statesman and his 'elite' inner circle of toadies and yes men.
