aha. good point. But then again, it wasn't the overall length it was that I had to stop and rewind to figure out what happened a couple of times because the scene was too quick.

Never fear (and please don't misunderstand) - it is quality work and light years ahead of what most (certainly I) could do. Good job.

That really is the best way to tackle the issue.

I always forget about that buff defenders got.

Nice numbers, Siolfir.
I still prefer to play Corrs, myself, but it is interesting to see this kind of break down.

Only been here since about I7 (post-ED) and I can remember the poll, so it wasn't that far back.

I remember shields and dual blades in that poll (and remember being disappointed because I wasn't all that keen on dual blades as even a suggestion worthy of voting). I don't remember anything else.

I do remember that Staves has always been popular (I remember that being craved far more than psychic).

Yeah, I remember it the same, Zyph.
And what I'm reading about StJ/ makes me hopeful.

Also looking forward to more of all types: staves, psychic melee, a toxic rad/poison melee set would be nice, etc. etc.

I think he means because the weapon is hard coded into the animation.

I see what you're saying.

In contrast, since MA and SS have never really appealed to me, I'm looking foward to what makes this set different in how it works. If it isn't different enough, I'd agree that customization with the animations for existing would have worked fine.

I read out that description that it is the new mechanic that differentiates it, rather than the animations. So it should be interesting.

I am looking Sam. I am sure that there was mentioned made of timing at some point.

edit: and Voodoo Girl beat me to the links.

Speaking as someone that has generally been unable to get into an MA character and only have one SS character that has made it past the 20s, I am cautiously enthusiastic about another option that may bring a different feel/mechanic to the table and let me get my punch on.
I say "cautiously enthusiastic" because our Devs have rarely disappointed me over the years and I generally wait until I get any new places or tools on my screen with me at the keyboard before I rush to any opinions.

Good points, Voodoo Girl.

I'm firmly in that first camp.

insulting how? it reads essentially the same, except for the new second page that helps sort out the... 14(?) different archetypes we have for new players to avoid overload? And you can skip it? sounds fine to me.

I don't see how turning the sewers run into an established part of the game is 'ditching it', but I guess we all interpret things differently.

So did I.

In fact, I thought the outbreak tutorial was one of the best tutorials in any game, period. But that doesn't mean I am not enthusiastic to see this effort to liven up the game experience and evaluate it for myself.

Which is new from the comic con floor as I understand it and not in the previous slate of announcements. Beam guns too.

Looks like just Vet Rewards.


And it looks like an interesting update to the system.

I can't wait for an arc that shows what true villains the resistance are...
(*crosses his fingers for I21*)

Anyone can try to login, and get as far as this screen.

In fact, the way I read the OP they were just checking on the blind hope they would be able to access the beta and are not actually part of it.

Nothing 'leaked' here, I don't think.


and re: the image, fancy. I want more from my dramatic first impression/login, but it isn't bad.

*shrug* It works pretty nifty either way.

That's just insulting. And I mean that.

Unless your nuke is Darkstar. I find that it does not 100% kill every mob, but with the severe debuff you aren't afraid - Heat Loss for a full end bar instantly, kill at your leisure.

Troy wins this thread.

I needed that dose of humor in my day.

Thank you very much.


(solid advice elsewhere in the thread for the OP)

True enough, but I am working on the costume design for my rad/poison already.
