    Doesn't matter. He became a creativity master in 1988. Nothing else matters.

    nasty Base lag

    Anyone else?

    Getting nasty delays and lagginess, no matter which base I enter.

    Heard some chatter about it on a couple of channels too.

    Is it new, or I have I just had my head in the sand?

    Now, how was HG Wells was relegated to the late 30s?... and Conan in the 60s? And it is clear to me that not enough people have read Ian M. Banks or Steven Brust.

    Still, like I said. Nice list. Now, if you'll excuse me I have a web wish list to go update...

    Yep, yep. Sorry, I was talking about a sub-conversation in the mix and not the UG.

    No. The character can always make a choice.

    edit: even if it is the unfortunate walk away and abandon the arc rather than <spoiler redacted>

    They are planning to use the store to keep new things appearing on a more regular basis - a la boosters between issues. I'm hoping more frequently than that. It appears that Street Justice is planned to be such a release. I'm hoping for Soon-er rather than Soon-ish.

    edit: in response to later posts. more often = weekly... so yeah. goodness.

    At risk of my immortal soul... I agree with GG.


    As a generalized reply, I have not seen any nitpicks re: the FW story arcs worth addressing in detail. The FW arcs are some of the most enjoyable in the game, IMO. That is not intended as an indictment on any other content, either. It is just good, fun stuff.

    And I would expect certain heroes, played faithully, to struggle with some moments in the arcs.

    And it was, just fine in fact.

    Until the next larger wave started and stressed the system appropriately for a scaling beta progression.

    You did want to help with testing right? And not just pet and hug the shiny?

    You are right, I did miss them. Just thought the Kat was quoting someone else's effort and commenting generally on 'the BAB crisis'. (I really shouldn't do these things on the fly at work whilst updating factory capacity data.)

  16. The idea of duplicate Earths is fascinating, but I have a hard time accepting that the travels of the Starship Enterprise were grounded in hard science. But then again finding worlds with Romans and Nazis (and bears, oh my!) would be fun.

    Are you implying that the moon isn't made of green cheese?

    hmm. must have mis-read the previous and thought it was corrected.
    I will edit and fix. thanks

    edit: or I'm just a dolt. I can't fix that, but I can fix my typo to re-re-correct reality.

Just as importantly it needs to be able to do this on the way to level 50, since I rarely play a character much after it hits 50. It doesn't need survivability in any shape or form, in fact I'd almost prefer it didn't, just a lot of shock and awe.

    I'm currently thinking Fire/Fire or Fire/MM blaster for this particular character, though I'm open to other suggestions.

    So, thoughts?
    I assume you mean a focus on AoE as well, so yeah, the fire/fire is likely the best bet.

    I'd probably wait and try out /StJ before jumping on a new tank, myself. Word on the street (bud-dump ching) is that is pretty and filled with pow bam oof

    No argument. I think he had specific and well defined expectations that were not met, and let that shade his entire acceptance of the work.

    Likewise, and I love the aggregate move response sites accordingly. But, I also like to scan the longer, more involved reviews for expanded insight to the 'why' of their thoughts.
  23. Bah.

    That's a nothing.

    Actually sounds like it'll fit neatly into the Castle vibe.

    Can't re-find the link tho.
    Still, looking.

    edit:
    Here is one that isn't crazy about it. Still can't find the one I remembered reading.
