Dispari

My understanding of the way it works is it's a real zone, but it's the zone as it was when you were actually that level. So if you have a conversation with someone and then contact them again when you finish the arc they'd be like "Dude, that was a week ago!"

This is also why the devs don't allow us to do Oro to do arcs higher in level than us. If we could, we'd just ask people for lottery numbers.

Update: It's still not open beta yet.

Also as far as the "why Tuesday?" argument goes, note that the second highest is Wednesday. Which probably means they meant to do it Tuesday but got delayed.

CoH2 is already tearing our community apart!

There are three types of people hovering around a new issue release.

1) People who get stuff when it appears on live.

2) People who want to PLAY WITH and get stuff early on test.

3) People who actually want to test and get things fixed on test.

Most people who want OB are in category two. They don't want to find bugs and try to break things. They don't want to analyze things and give thoughtful feedback. They just want to play with the new shiny. In fact, they stand around complaining about how X is messed up and the devs are idiots. Then they make rage threads about how X is broken/unbalanced and they're going to quit the game.

Right now the devs apparently want/need category three, because if it's still in closed beta that means it has a ways to go.

Nope, that's not what I said.

Basically that was just an excuse to show off a funny video.

Really, PvP is extremely hard to balance and as far as I know, no game has it right!

You can also get -rep in the form of someone wanting to respond to one of your posts anonymously. Anyone who wants to disagree, correct, or just make fun of you might do so in the form of -rep rather than a post. Though people do that with tags too.

Maybe they're really bad suggestions?

It's easier to Photoshop a regular woman into a supermodel than it is to draw one from scratch.

Devs don't hate henchmen, it's just going to take a while to get them implemented! The way I figure:

* You start with 100 henchmen who are -20 to your level
* You send out your henchmen to fight heroes, starting with the weakest ones
* You send increasingly more and more powerful minions until you finally deploy your ultimate minions
* After your ultimate minions are defeated, you face the hero yourself (and die)

I wish The Jar was still around.

Shadow's a her, she's muh best friend (and we're married), and I'm just sassing her.

So wait, if it came out TODAY on live, you'd use it and play with it and enjoy it.

If it came out TODAY on test, you wouldn't want to get on because you wouldn't want to spoil it.

Even though me and everyone else you know are going to tell you all about it and spoil it before you get to see it for yourself!

Depends on what time zone you're in. It's 10:30 here in central. Over in California they're probably just rolling into work.

It's pretty early still. Things don't usually get moving until after noon.

Actually the very last power had both. He does a ground-smash which is an AoE. One enemy is knocked down and the other is knocked back. I'm curious of the mechanics on that one. Knockback if defeated? 50% KD, 25% KB? Who knows?

There's about twenty dozen reasons why raising the actual level cap would be a bad idea and cause problems. From their wording though it's a second set of levels. You gain "incarnate levels" to get "incarnate abilities" until your incarnate portion is maxed at 10.

I think they look cool! Plus it's my understanding that we might not have seen the fully upgraded version? Since these look just like the concept art.

I understand if you swing the controller in an upward arc motion when you press B, Mario clears jumps easier.

Blueside especially has a TON of zones that nobody ever uses and never will unless they change. Not only that, we've seen EXCEEDINGLY successful revamps (Faultline, RWZ) as well as failed new zones. Cimerora -- admit it, if there wasn't a TF there would anyone ever go there? It's just like Terra Volta. It only exists because there's something good in it. If you put the ITF in Ouroboros, Cim would be as dead as Dark Astoria.

I know that if they focus on one of the dozens of heroside zones that need love, some people would complain villains get nothing. But even being a mostly villain player myself, I know a lot of these zones are just worthless. Besides, zones like Boomtown, Croatoa, or the Shadow Shard could be made into co-op zones, which would revitalize the area as well as add new villain content. Imagine if Croatoa was made into a 20-35 competitive/co-op zone. Instantly villains get +2 GMs and +1 TF, and we could band together for stuff or do side-specific things (like villains working for red caps) that sway the zone and cause things to happen.

Good odds you'll get to see DS soon at least. Devs said it'd launch at the same time as i17, meaning it's probably being tested right now, and we can see it when it goes open.
