    Aion

    I've been debating whether or not to play this, still on the fence. The price of certain recipes to complete my latest project is quickly turning me off. Is it still in closed beta?
  2. 5:30PM is cutting it close but I would like to join with my scrapper if I get in on time
  3. Wish you the best of luck. Also unless regulations have changed there are two reasons for a solider to be listed as "undeployable", one of those is pregnancy. I'm not sure which reg it is in, but I do remember covering it in ANCOC

    Server Question

    Just remember one of the most important rules of the Victory server. Don't feed the rodent.
  5. Sounds good! I hope this will help "fix" the lack of quality merchandise on the markets as well as bring the prices of items such as purples back down to reason.

    What's working right now:

    A scheduled task that searches for redname posts in a fixed interval - new posts should hopefully show up within 10-20 minutes
    All posts that show up on search have been saved - I'm currently only displaying the most recent 20 however.

    To do:

    RSS/Atom feeds
    Community/Dev feeds
    Individual feeds
    Prioritizing certain rednames when looking for new posts (BaB, I'm looking at you!)
    Caching of DB results (I hope it won't go over quota too soon >.>)
    Supporting timezones other than UTC

    Enjoy
    Two thumbs up and some pie for you!!!

    Thread from the Stalker Forum


    As always for things on Test, it's subject to change.
    Thanks Sarrate,

    I can't find anything on these new boards, they are "worsesome"

    Elec armor getting a heal? Really? Linkage? I wasn't enthused about elec armor (only elec melee) but having a self heal will change my mind for sure!
  9. I have to agree, I love the scrapper forums. They helped bring my scrapper game to the next level!
  10. They are pretty awesome aren't they

    I for one haven't been to the forums too much as of late, I don't like how things are arranged and the dev's digest is just horrible now. I stick to my two favorite sections, Victory and Scrapper forums now.
  12. Paperback writer.. for Harlequin romance?

    New forums!

    This is going to take some getting used to. Took me about 2 minutes just to find the ""reply" button...

    C) Defenders inherent is extremely bad and needs looking at again by the Devs. It has zero affect when solo. It has zero effect for some powersets such as a forcefield defender who keeps everyone at 100% heath. It is completely reliant upon your teammates and their (in)ability.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    One of the few things I have always been displeased about is how the devs treat the defender AT. In many ways it always seemed like the AT was a last second addition. I know the inherent was made up without much thought.

    In my best Kanye West impersonation "The devs don't care about defender people"
  15. Thanks again DC. I had a blast!

    The Devs Hate...

    The devs hate defenders, that's why they have a nearly useless inherent that was thought up in a couple of days.
  17. That power won't be of much use for me in a mission. I routinely end up lost and use the FoW so I know what area's I've been in already. I hope it only reveals for the caster.

    Outside of missions in actual zones I'd use this power just about every chance I get!
  18. It would be nice if all contacts/Stores purchased recipes and enhancements from players at the same price.
  19. Hope all is well with you Ohloh

    Not since back in I3 (they nerfed it in I4/I5 time frame)

    I used it to agro and stand there watching mobs wail at me haha fun stuff there was no time limit so as long as I had endurance I was gold

    Ahhh I remember those days. When you could toggle debuff Hami across the zone...
  21. A useful Defender inherent.

    Nah I'm just talking crazy...

    As for jetpacks, I'd like that option added as a craftable recipe similar to jet boots in a future issue, rather than as a part of a booster pack.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I still want my bulky chemical tank to strap to a couple character's backs, complete with colorable transparent windows and animated bubbles (think warhulk fluid chambers). But the Super Science pack already came and went with nary a chem tank (or bubble helmet). So I'll just have to keep looking dreamily out my bedroom window at the rain, pining.

    I was going to say "Oh it's raining where you're at too". Then I realized we're both in Brooklyn

    Technology Pack:
    I'd love to see something like tech wrist bands that fire an energy blast
    Cooler looking full helmets

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Word is that the cyborg pack retroactively counts as the tech themed pack. Sorry to burst your bubble.

    On a related note, I blew the dust off my self destruct power the other day on a lowbie to asplode. Good times.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I thought it may have, however "cyborg" can fit into both tech and science according to the CoX origin definitions:

    Science: Exposure to chemicals, radiation, or some other scientific process has left you changed, with new and mysterious abilities far beyond the mass of humanity.

    Tech: Unlike science heroes, whose bodies have been permanently changed by exposure to natural forces, as a technology hero you carry unique and advanced devices that allow you to produce superhuman effects.

    As far as extra packs... one can always hope for moar...

    Natural: Holsters, quivers, sheathes. Might be nice to have some some more cowboy options(vest/shirt, chaps, boots with spurs) considering the upcoming Pistols set. Perhaps adding a bunch more weapon options to all sets.

    And of course, walking. (Yes I know it was probably a joke. But I can dream...)

    Mutation: More monstrous heads, tails, and legs? I'm not sure what else.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I'd go for a walking travel power; it will probably be faster than fly

    Technology Pack:
    I'd love to see something like tech wrist bands that fire an energy blast
    Cooler looking full helmets

    Natural Pack:
    Power pills: Temp power that increases haste; damage; and reduces end consumption (long recharge time)
    Backpack: Increases salvage and recipe slots by 5

    Mutant Pack:
    I'm at a loss...
