  1. Heh, no, probably not.

    No spoilers in there for anything, anyway.

  3. I'm in th UK, and am quite happy with the liscence fee. The BBC prodiuces some great output on TV, Radio and online, and watching programmes without any advert breaks (or product placement) is fantastic.

    However, in the spirit of the BBC, other ways of funding television development are available.

    EDIT:

    Oh, and There can be absolutely no question of the BBC ever giving in to government pressure.
  4. From the 7th Doctor,
    Rememberance of the Daleks
    Ghost Light
    Curse of Fenric
    Survival

    are all pretty good.

    Oh and for the 2nd Doctor, Seeds of Death is fun, its got the Ice Warriors and some dodgy special effects.

If so, will level 50 characters be unable to do anything in Praetoria, or does Ouroboros patrol alternate timelines as well?
    Its an interesting question. If existing characters can fall/redeem themselves straight away, and that includes level 50s, then that means there should be some level 50 content for Greys at launch. Thats assuming a lot of things about how things are going to work though.

    Noone except the devs knows the answer, but I'll be sure to ask at hero-con (unless they have already explained how things will work first).
  6. Oh, almost forgot

    Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of new mission maps (retroactively fitted to old content too)

    Theres 3 authors but 4 arcs, because Rooster Teeth have done 2
  8. Apparently, they will be going live on Tuesday


    They all sound pretty cool, but the one by Bill Willingham sounds the most interesting to me. I thought Fables was really well written.

    Now, get Hickman to do some!
  9. Branching Missions/story arcs

    Further use of context senstive dialogue, so that characters in the gameworld react to what you do.

    Lots of well written new content, characters, storys and challenges.

    Lots of cool stuff
  10. The main argument in the artical seems to be a sequel should be made because the game is 5 and half years old. Thats it.

    Wonder why WoW isn't on the list.

    We also put these two powers on the Melee damage scales instead of the Ranged tables as well.

    Cool, I was gonna ask about that.

    Overall, they look interesting, I'll copy over my old Dom and run a few missions comparing Live to Test, once the patch is up of course.
  12. I don't really hang out on Justice much, but I am going to the Con and do like food so, if its open to all then I'd love to go and meet some new people


    1) You coming? Yes
    1a) If yes, banquet menu ok? Yes
    1a1) If yes, which banquet items appeal? All of them!

    2) Anything we MUST have (even if not on the banquet menu)?
    Not really.

    3) Preferred dining date/time? My planned default is Friday Oct 23, 5:30pm
    That sounds good.
  13. A couple of suggestions:

    Make the Snipe a narrow cone, so it hits everything in a straight line between you and your target. (that might be a good secondary effect for other powers too)

    Final power could be 'Overload', where you press a few buttons and then throw your rifle to the ground and then it explodes (location AoE, big damage, some sort of crash, greys out the Rifle powers for X seconds)

    Also, for a bitof variety, what about a heat ray? single target fire damage with a 10% chance to drop an ignite-style fire patch at the targets feet.

    I'm from the UK and I am going too! Never been to a con before and am really excited
  15. Yeah, it sounds cool. Should work great when combining Stone with fire or ice.
  16. Having the option to turn some of the energy blasts into eyebeams, or chest beams would also be groovy, but as has been said, that is more for the 'official alternate animation suggestion' thread that I'm sure we will get post I16.
  17. wow, sounds good! Should make making teams much quicker and easier.

    They're not. The prob with the new boards is that the dev digest isn't working, so theres no easy place to find the dev posts (apart from the temporary dev digest someone put up)

    Also, I'd hope most of their current posts are on the closed beta forum

    Also, re:twitter. I just subrcibe to the rss feeds and add them to my favourites bar in IE.
  19. Hey, thats cool. That also means that new players will be able to preview what the sets look like, allowing them to check that a powerset look fits their concept

  21. Have they got MA/SS or Spines ready to show? Will be interesting to see what the new animations are and also the third style for spines.

    Apparently Pre-Beta, the devs thought everything was a control power!


    [/ QUOTE ]

    From what I remember from the really early pre-beta boards, anything with the name control was actually what we'd call a powerset, with a bunch of sub-powers ( I remember light control was supposed to have a blinding power and also a laser targetting power, to expose enemy weaknesses)

    Have we heard if we can change the powers customization based on the costume slot, or is it going to be one set of power color customization for one character?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Powers can be individually customized per costume slot, but not supergroup mode.

    Woo Hoo
