  1. They are both tough and awesome.

    Thank you for wording this so well. I have been trying to put down in words why this lack of change rankles me, and you've done it perfectly. I have said before that knockback is great mitigation... for enemies. Now the devs have flat out agreed: knockback, by design, is used to limit player damage.
  3. One of the major reasons that I love this game is the way every big fight turns into a senseless scene of particle effects carnage.
  4. Reverted to 11.3 because 11.7 crashed hard in the i21 beta.

    Am I missing something here?
    I'm hoping that at least some of these costs are placeholders and they are planning on going through them using reason and sanity. Even /vault doesn't move the vault slots into "must buy" territory for me.

  7. I bet I wind up buying all of it. Maybe not the vault, never actually opened a vault ever.
  8. Optimism thread of the day!
  9. Can I get a sanity check?

    I was hoping for changes to PBs, as I have deleted three of them due to the problems they have. The changes we got, I dunno. No more interrupted dwarf change is nice. Inherent still useless solo. Solar Flare still KB. Pulsar still weak. I'm wondering if my thoughts on PBs are really out of left field compared to what the devs think or what other players think. These changes are nice I guess, but while they make warshades even better, they still don't make peacebringers worth playing to me. Really just removing the radial KB on Solar Flare would make a huge difference.
  10. Of all the things to change about Solar Flare, they change the animation. What do you mean, there's an elephant in this room?

    I shouldn't post in these threads. They always make me want to run out and buy computer parts.
    Thank god, it's not just me. The OP had me assembling builds online and desperately trying not to click Add to Cart.

    *scrolls up two posts*

    That's how he knows. Although it doesn't look too bad to me.
  13. I am worried my beta installation says it hasn't been updated in 21 days. Will I get a huge patch at 5 and be sad?

    You never know what's going to happen on day one of open beta.
    I really hope it isn't something like temporarily unlocking StJ for purchase while most of us are at work and can't get at it.
  15. Spoiler I guess?

    Predicting Jason as werepanther next ep, Jessica rescued by Jason which dramallamas Jason and Hoyt's relationship, and please will someone kill that God damned witch. Also what gives with the werewolf pack sideshow, the whole werewolf story line doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and man that alpha dude couldn't look greasier if he tried.

    Also I really, REALLY hope someone kills Tara, she is tied with Sookie for the worst character on this show and now she is complicit in wholesale vampire murder. Really I would love to watch the Eric and Pam Hour costarring Lafayette the other characters are middling at best.
  16. I'm really looking forward to this beta. Enough that I will probably squander my DXP weekend playing on the beta server
  17. Where do we post about our experiences, discuss changes, and just generally give feedback once the VIP beta begins? Also, is this a weekend thing or is it open for business for the duration?
  18. Significantly improved over the last pics that I saw. Part of me wonders why so much of the new design has to be so... pointy, but then again, they are not the Circle of Rounded, Safe Edges.
  19. Much improved to my eye, how much did you knock off the price with those changes?
  20. Of those three power supply providers, the only one I would trust is Corsair and I would trust them with my life. A 600W Corsair will power that system no problem.
  21. At first glance:
    • Hard drives too small, why bother with RAID1, it's not backup
    • Power supply garbage brand, no need for that many watts
    • No need for 2GB RAM on graphics adapter
    • Do you really need to burn bluray
    • Paying extra for that NIC is a sucker's move
    • Why bother with watercooling when you can OC just as well on air (hyper212 is cheap as borscht)
    • Almost certainly don't need Windows 7 Pro

    Get a 1GB 560Ti, drop the watercooling, drop the gimmick NIC, get Win7 Home, drop the bluray burner unless you really need it, get a decent 2GB HDD and don't fuss with RAID1. Your money of course, but I would also just order the parts off Newegg and assemble it myself. If that's outside your expertise/comfort zone, pay a pal a case of beer to do it. Save you some money.

    So rude!

    Yeah not sure where you got level pacting from. You jumping on the dude doesn't make him look like the rude one.
  24. All my powers have caps, worn at a jaunty angle.
  25. Ugh. Unlimited AE slots but only 12 more character slots.
