    PvP Enhancements

    [ QUOTE ]
    there is a 1% chance you recieve a pvp IO
    so every 100 kills means you're guranteed atleast one

    [/ QUOTE ]

    UberGuy is right--even if the first statistic is true, statistics do NOT work the way your second comment suggests. Say point one is true, for this argument, and you defeat 99 people without receiving a pvp IO recipe drop. Your chances of receiving a pvp IO recipe drop on your 100th kill are........

    No, they're not 100%! They're still 1%.

    Not to burst your bubble, but you could kill a MILLION guys, and never see a drop...because the chance would still be 1%.
  2. How long have you been playing this game? I've been calling him shovel face since '04.

    Assumptionware:

    <ul type="square">[*]In a recent interview Positron noted he is working in Issue 18.
    This expansion is being worked on.
    At worst, this expansion will come with Issue 18.
    We are about to see Issue 15. That leaves 3 issues to go. 4 if you count issue 15 as it's not out yet.

    Lets average 3 months per issue. We may be talking somewhere between 9 to 12 months for this to launch, placing launch somewhere in Quarter 1 2010.

    [*]Recently Positron noted in an interview "Power customization was something we were not able to do while we were at Cryptic, that's all I can say at the moment":

    Assumption: Power Customization will be part of this expansion.
    [*]Recently Positron noted in an interview that they hired a lot of people precisely to work on a visual upgrade to the game.

    Assumption: Enhanced graphics will be part of this expansion.
    [*]A while back some players got a survey that asked people about potential features and what they would be more happy about. Between the things listed there we saw a new advancement system that would give us global character slots to put special enhancements on. This may be another potential new feature on this expansion.[/list]

    Seems like a solid list of safe assumptions, sir!

    &lt;QR&gt; My guess is this comes out sometime in 2010 and not sooner.

    BZZT! I'm putting I16 at later this year.

    EDIT: Also, I have to agree with the possibility of a $19.99 upgrade code. Of course, they know the rest of us tools are going to shell out $39.99 for the CE box.
  4. QR: Dear god, people. *hits head against wall* The FAQ doesn't tell us anything new, and we still have people asking questions like, "Switching sides? I don't understand what this means?" and "So this is all free, right?"

    Sit on your hands, read the press release, think, and THEN post.

    GM Can't see me

    Evidently, they still haven't taught the GMs basic gameplay. Embarrassing.
  6. Much affection, my dear.

    Awesome. For the Five Year Anniversary I'll be quitting the game.

    I would like to see the Cathedral of Pain turned back on. I know there were problems with it, but please can the Devs get it fixed. Thanks.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I'd like a billion dollars. I know it'll be hard to do, but can someone please get on this? Thanks!
  9. People, pipe down or I'll kick you.

    To all the five year vets, it's been a long road and I'm glad to share it with you.

    To all the rest of you noobs, rtfm!

    Well i15 would be nice. I must admit that all these patches are causing pain here in Australia. The servers are shutting down at 10:00 pm seemingly on every night I've tried to play recently.

    We recognize that we have been performing more maintenance periods than usual, and due to the need of the additional Thursday (April 23rd) down-time, we have canceled the Friday, April 24th maintenance.

    Thank you for your patience as we resolve the remaining base issues.

    Thank you, Ghost Falcon, for posting this into the Dev's Digest, otherwise I would have had no idea. :/
  11. One page back Smurph is talking about refunding money on the non-50's, so I assumed they all just canned it.

    5 Year Badge?

    QR: It's a bug, and not really a rare one. I, too, played in the early beta's and started my account well before the beginning of the three-day head start which saw the 'official' beginning of the game. My anniversary date has always fallen on May 1.

    [/ QUOTE ]Well, my original point was, getting the award before the 28th is a bug, so complaining when you didn't get the award before that date is rather foolish.

    Now if you've had your account active since the very start and still don't have it on the 29th, then feel free to complain to The Powers That Be™. But complaining on the 16th is silly.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Oh, of course. But in the grand scheme of things, two days doesn't matter to me. I've seen folks grump about not receiving at the very second they expected it. I'd probably draw the line for myself at about a month or so overdue. To each their own.

  15. Not fair, Jill, not fair at all.



    Wherever you go, we'll be with you, and wishing you the best of luck.
  16. Firstly, I still can't find the AE Box code in the online store.

    Secondly, what the heck game is Amazon selling? Shouldn't someone do something about that?
  17. QR: Do you anticipate the AE Box codes hitting the PlayNC Store before this fix is published?

    I don't guess you can bind the costumechange emotes, I've tried dozens of combos, none of them worked..

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You can.

    BAB is working on a post. Stay tuned.

    Thank you, sir. Any word on the Architect Edition box code?
  19. So, not only fixes, but 'sploit patches. Nicely done.
