I know where to find you, Thorny.

This is the single coolest thing in City since the City of Heroes soft drink thread. Congratulations gang, this is just FANTASTIC. More pictures!!

I don't care about snow, I am tired of having single digit weather for the past few weeks. Don't make me get out my winter coat.

I have no clue what those stupid colors mean.

Haha, this is amusing and awesome. I adjunct in the graduate environmental department at one of our local unis, and used to professionally write technical papers at a consulting firm.
I make no claims as to the quality of my advice, but it's yours if you want it.

I didn't get to play at all, excepting a bit last night. Wasn't long enough to accomplish anything. Too busy IRL.
Though you did invite me to your SG again, so I see you've cycled off my ignore list again. You and M****C*** are tied now. -
I got to play a little bit last night. More than I expected. No levels.
-
Nobody knows. I'm guess two weeks or so.

I've never received the predownload, either. I'm not concerned, because I still use the updater to play. If 19.5 goes live before my client decides to predownload the majorpatch file, it'll just patch like a regular update.

I need to see these costumes up close. Ten for ten with bonus gold stars on the theme and colors already.
-
For a useless perk that does nothing, that is going to make an awful lot of people happy. That's pretty awesome that they did that.
Holding out for some sweet costume items, mostly in the bird theme. *crosses fingers* -
Scoob, that is already plenty ebil.
-
Haha, way to go, man!
-
Cool costume.

No, if we get to vote on it, bAss' avatar stays.

Quote:I can't comprehend how a weekly incarnate strike target might end up being sub-50 content.Originally Posted by Nalrok_AthZim
Alright, fine, have some banter that's what you deem "appropriate."
If the weekly strike target is a TF/SF other than one that is level 50-enabled, does this mean level 50 players (the ones who HAVE to do the WST to get the next levels of the Alpha) will lose out on Incarnate Shards?
Example: First Tuesday, the WST is announced as a Manticore TF. Manticore's TF caps out at level 35. As we all know, Shards only drop at level 50. So again I ask, if the WST isn't a level 50 SF/TF, does that mean level 50 players pining for their next Alpha tier are screwed?
Because, if so, what the hell is the point of running the WST? JUST the Notice of the Well? This reminds me of another MMO (yet again) where I had to run a specific instance until my eyes bled just to get the (or the ingredients for) ONE THING I wanted. -

Someone gonna rage about something? Later.
When the next several game updates are devoted entirely to something you paid extra money to do, but now discover that you can't get involved in due to real life obligations...how does that qualify as "rage?"
Couldn't their opinions at least be worth respectfully disagreeing with, without a dismissive "u mad? kthnxbai."
FYI, this stuff is on test for us to...test. Part of testing is providing feedback. -

Its not really a requirement I suppose. But Incarnates have the most to gain from the TF/SF of the week.
Oh, wait. -
Quote:Technically, the earliest you can get it is/was midnight last night. Mine dropped, and a bunch of people all called out in various badge channels that they had received theirs as well.Originally Posted by makerian
For example, I created my account on April 21 2004 and my first 3 month badge is listed as July 28 2004.
What is the earliest date any player can get, say, the 81 month vet reward? For example, I am scheduled to receive it on Feb 28, 2011.
I know of people that seem to get it at least 1-2 weeks before me, but never paid much attention to the date before.
The mention of Turg in this thread, is because their account is screwed up and they abnormally get theirs about two weeks ahead of everyone else.

Quote:Except soloing the Alpha unlock, and soloing the common and uncommon boosts would entirely be...soloing.Originally Posted by Djeannie
And yet Positron stated that there would be a solo path for people to do incarnate content when they first came out with incarnate content. Black scorpion did say they were looking into a way to do that in issue 20, this is issue 19.5 so we'll see.
Foolish to have content that's supposed to put you on par with statesman that isn't soloable imo, then have some big team stuff that's real incarnate threat like cole's invasion compared to just bobcat and neuron, or some non incarnate pansy malta punk, who aren't even incarnates and shouldn't provide a huge threat.
The fact that you have to go above and beyond, and team, for the rarest and most powerful boosts has no bearing on your reference to Posi's, "...solo path for people to do incarnate content..." If anything, Black Scorpion's tacit, "We'll take your feedback under advisement" would seem to indicate that there won't be solo uber rare stuff for at least a while, if ever. -
Quote:That's not what they said.Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
i cant remember where it was posted but a dev said that pre i20 the only way to get the notice of the well is to do the strike targets
in i20 there will be other means to get them
This^ is what they said. Also, that they would consider the feedback that people had given, with regard to requesting a solo option.Quote:Originally Posted by Snow Globe
In the same paragraph Black Scorpion said Trials. Trials in this game are not solo content.
All the bonuses that apply to you, apply to your pets.Quote:Originally Posted by Master Zaprobo
There is an important question that needs answering (if we can't answer it ourselves, since no Strike Target is available according to reports) for Controllers, Dominators, anyone with a Vet Pet and most specifically Masterminds...
Are these direct bonuses mapped over to our pets? This is critical for Masterminds as this is where the bulk of our damage comes from!
All the common stuff translates to a single shard, and all the uncommon stuff to two or three, I think. So it's not worth your while unless you're desperate/have too many of one component to do anything useful with.Quote:Originally Posted by Derangedpolygot
This was somewhere on my "never-gonna-happen" list.
Most nifty. -

Interesting... No mention of how solo players can get the "Notice of the Well" component.
I'll be interested to see if these patch notes get corrected before live. I'm giving 50/50 odds right now.Quote:Originally Posted by Arcanaville
Defense and Resistance are not affected by combat modifiers. Theoretically speaking if you fight even cons and use level shift to shift them -1, your defense will get "effectively stronger" but I'd rather not say that. If you fight +2s and level shift them to +1, the critter base chance to hit will remain at 50% and their accuracy bonus will reduce from 1.2 to 1.1. The "effectiveness" of defense would remain the same in that case in the way we normally mean. If you were soft capped before, you would still be. If you were not soft capped before, you would still not be. The shift from zero to -1, however, does potentially reduce the soft cap from 45% to 40% defense and make all other defense values commensurately stronger.
In no sense does resistance get better under level shift. If self buffs get stronger under level shift, I'm pretty sure that's a bug. I doubt the devs intended for us to be level shifted relative to ourselves, as interesting a concept as that sounds. -
This Yank did a double Tim Tam slam for you.

Still no predownload.
