    Well, if devs play regularly on Liberty they don't drop hints/etc...!

    Or if they do, they don't do it when I'm online!


    Then again I seem pretty oblivious to things...I wouldn't know a girl likes me until she said, "I like you, want to go out?" point blank...so...there is that

    I didn't think Statesman and Sister Psy. were going to get replaced (in the TFs). Because in a time line they are still alive...*shrugs* could be wrong.
  4. Hopefully this means the Bee Bark power will be coming soon too!

There's only Chimera and Tyrant left for incarnate trials, and we know we're getting a new trial and slot in i23, soooo...

    My magic 8 ball says "looks likely" for a new AT sooner rather than later. If they wanna put it out while Praetoria is still relevant, anyway.

    I could see a PEAT but...*shrugs* We'll see in time I guess

    *gets to lvl 20 on a PEAT and then leaves Praet. like everyone else* hehe
  6. FYI, the WSTs are now highlighted in purple in the LFG queue/tab

    Edit:


    Saw your edit....I think if you ran an ITF tonight and then the ITF was the WST; you'd still get the extra rewards/etc because of the "week" starts on Tuesdays...


    Could be wrong though.

    Yeah, I used to keep track with the Dev and Community Digests' RSS feeds but they seem eternally broken.

    Twitter feed of it doesn't seem to be that great either

    But, hey, some people might enjoy it.
    hehe okay, so I wasn't sure how to phrase the title of the thread when I started it.

    I was just going to say, "Issue 23 'open beta'" but then didn't want to have people post and say, "OMG YOU LIED, IT'S NOT IN OPEN BETA NOW!!" and then die of heart attack or something.

    Just was more curious about when people thought it might go live (to vip beta that is)

    I was originally going to say Tarantulas because he was a great character...however, he did "lose" to Megatron in the end so...

    Then again, it wasn't really Tarantulas' fault...darn Ravage got trix'ied by Megatron while Megs was in jail.... :P

    Man love the series.

    I actually put things together based on some in-game conversations from before he went to work on CoH and information I gained after he went to work on CoH.

    Many long-time/old-time Justice players had teamed with him and he seemed to get a delight in dropping clues as to who he had teamed with. When he said he'd teamed with me and outside of a Hami Raid, it narrowed things down quite a bit for me since I had gotten to a point that I rarely teamed at that time except for Hami Raids.

    Chris has several friends on Justice as well as other servers, especially those that have had a chance to visit with him at the HeroCon events. I have a few other FB friends that are current or former CoH Devs or OCR folks and one of the things I insist on is that I don't ask them anything about the game. Of course, aside from 2 real life friends and 2 Justice players the only people on my FB friends list are people I've actually met face to face and because of the game.

    Being rather socially inept, I consider myself lucky that so many of these people consider me a friend.
    Oooooh...

    Nice

    See Liberty is so cool we don't have devs playing on our servers! (or do we?!?! bum bum bum...)

    I'd like to just talk to devs as people and not "what's in i25?!"

    Don't get me wrong I'd still ask that for fun

    Muwahaha! I am like Megatron (from the Beast Wars cartoon; watched a few eps. tonight ) controlling all my little henchmen and telling them what to do and when to do it.

    *megatron voice*

    Yeeessss.....

    So what you're saying is you want me to join your leagues when you are trying for the Master of badges so I can fail the criteria on purpose?


    *me doing whatever it is that would cause a Master of badge run to fail*

    Me: "I'm doing this for your own good Arcanaville!" "If you got all the Master of badges the game closes down!"

    Arcanaville: "............................"
  12. *shrugs*

    I liked the voice acting/cutscenes in that Far, far away galaxy MMO. To me, it was a bit more "immersive".

    However, I can see it getting old fast in an MMO setting (alt-itis would be worse there cause you couldn't just click through everything you already know...you have to continually watch the movie(s).

    The only time I remember FB and the devs was, I think, when BABs left and people said, "hey he's on FB, friend 'em!" and either he (right before he left) or some other dev said, "Uh, yeah...love you guys but I'm not friending anyone beyond family (and real life friends)."

    So....you have a friend in BABs?

    Yep, I thought so as well...still can't wait


    Edit:

    Well I mean, I have to wait but.....


    And I thought Thor was a "demi-god" because he wasn't a 'god' like Odin was....*shrugs*
  15. Dang, I don't know how some of you follow people (Castle, BABs, etc...) and know where they go to and all that...

    Too much stalking going on!

    I didn't even know TV left CoH....where was the announcement of that?

    Y U NO STAFFS?!


    But...is the decision to not release Staff Fighting increasing the chance of fighting between the staff?

    The set would be based around having coercion powers, which would act as permanent confuse. Basically you'd be able to turn 3 or 4 bad guys into pets until they died, complete with MM controls once coerced. You wouldn't have control over their enhancements/slotting. But you'd be able to cherry-pick your group or just roll with whatever group is in the vicinity. Could be tricky to pull off but interesting to play. You could have the health bars turn blue to indicate that the coercion power is being applied, which takes time. Then once fully manipulated they con as allies, etc.

    I still like my idea, may be biased , about a new MM primary called Soul Stealing (or whatever you want to call it...Mimicry).


    Basically the 3 "summon powers" that a MM usually gets are replaced by 3 "attacking powers." You would use, let's say the minion summon power, on a Longbow boss, you would then get a temp power and when you used it, it would be a random Longbow Minion.

    If you used the "Lieutenant" power on the Longbow boss and then used the temp power to summon your pet, you'd get a random Longbow Lieut.

    It'd definitely be a "more offensive" MM since you'd have to "attack" the mobs first to get the pets but...*shrugs* I think it'd be fun to have a random team of henchmen.

    Maybe the summon powers could be an auto-hit sleep so that the mob doesn't attack you? *shrugs*

    And I would think it wouldn't be too much work (yes, yes, standard code rant)...the gladiator system is in the game already so...maybe that could be used?
  18. I have Vorpal Judgement on my StJ/Regen Brute.

    I like it but agree with AquaJAWS; it is something you have to get used to (the lining up of the power/etc).

    The +DEF is nice for my Regen. toon too
  19. haha quite a few of these got me LOL'ing in real life


    I'd love to see the bee bark power/upgrade as well as the "Who hasn't clicked Enter yet" ability
  20. haha nice


    And I think the whole blowing on your cartridge was just a trial-and-error thing along with word of mouth.
  21. Well, as long as something new and shiny is ready to play with mid-to-end of May I'm good.

    My surgery date is May 10th so I'll be off from May 10th through June 3rd....

    I give myself a couple of days to be not totally 'high' on all the pain meds I'll be on...so...at least a good solid 2 weeks of gaming!
  22. So beta server is closed to us and is being readied for Issue 23.


    Just downloaded a nice sized patch (didn't catch how big) for beta....


    When do you think i23 will be released to 'open/closed/vip' beta?

    After the player summit?
