  1. Ecstasy of Gold was drafted into Arachnos at the age of five and was totally brainwashed into the Destiny propaganda until one day something just... snapped.

    I'm taking Ex to full hero as soon as humanly possible.

    Yeah, all three of these sound golden, even though eyebeams ARE totally my cup of tea, and I'd like to see them for more attacks than just Rad blast, APPs, and Khelds. Energy Blast needs it an eyebeam attack somewhere. (so long as it's not horizontally flat, you should be safe. )

    Even though it's not even live yet... Kinetic Melee. The current attacks are gorgeous, but people are gonna want something more controlled and less... flailing? dancy? wooshy? If only just to break up the pace a little bit.

    For weapons, alternate draw animations would be very nice. Drawing a sword from the hip rather than the back, or drawing pistols from the chest (indicating a concealed harness under a jacket or such) Drawing dual blades from one hip or the other in traditional samurai style. Spines draw without the poison spray (and splorch sound) for more technology based types. Just some ideas.

    Also seconding the other suggestions in the thread. Such as elemental weapon options for currently weaponless attacks, and the option for weaponless animations on current elemental weapon attacks.

    Nope, he said it might be in a future booster pack. Nakayama has outright said there will be further packs after this one.

    They wanted it so much that they latched onto every hint that it might be so, or even making up hints that it would be so, magnifying them into promises through the power of the rumor mill and then feeling that it justifies their anger when they don't get their way.
  4. Ooh, this looks like the start of something epic.

    As for the contest. I've had rooms very close to 10k items before, and I know Stacker can do much better than me: 10,725

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that my Praetorian Grey will need a big huge crazy retcon of doom once all this goes live. (she's my only villain 50, too, I am not deleting her.)

    It looks like glitchy, pixelated textures that are poorly overlayed on each other, but then are individually trying to be water, but reflecting in wrong directions and refracting things that aren't even in the room.

    Even if it's an energy field, big pixels are not WAI. Ever.

    What? GAH! I missed that one! I use those to make ladders in my live bases!

    RAGE!
  9. I've been sending bug reports on all of these since day 3 of closed beta. They never once even made the "known issues". I also saw all of these posted in the bug report threads all through closed beta.

    It takes a lot to make me feel bitter, but this is doing it.

Some of my stuff is in the base items thread if you want to take a look.
    I think what she's wanting to do is give each base builder some rooms and just let them go crazy with them... that way, she'll have a big chunk of the base she can give tours to and be like "And the room on the left was build by Xanatos, to your right is one built by Fistsnatch, not the stylistic differences and use of [...]" Etcetera.

    I think it's kind of a cool idea. When I finish with the Cirque du Sin base, I think I'll put up some pics from that and try out for this.

    Screens from CB

    Hey guys! Bases get some love in I17!



    ... Oh, wait, no, they get bugs that have gone since day one of CB without even being acknowledged.
  12. I can picture the look on Avatea's face when the Marketing guy told her that she can't actually tell us about the new technology, right after the dev team told her that we need to beta test it.

    "I-but-they-Gah! Fine, whatever. Gonna be the worst focussed beta ever."

    I agree with this in many ways. Other new rewards for 50 would be nice, but yeah, I don't my entitlement-on for this.

    Emphasis mine to demonstrate that you've been doing it wrong. When a game becomes work leave or find what makes it fun and go back to doing that.
  14. I logged on my NRG^2 blaster yesterday after a loooong time away (away from blueside in general, not just energy). It took a second to get back into the groove, but once I was, there were no problems with knockback.

    It helps that it's a very single target build, and nobody complains about the flying boss if it's a flying dead boss.

    Even though I know it's there, this still doesn't change... I'm going to have a harder time waiting now, but I'm still waiting anyway.

    But cool looking...
    If they like bases, they'll put all the TFs/SFs on the base computer...

    But we've seen their record of base love, sadly enough.

    Fixed that for you...
    I kind of hope there will be a mini-patch sometime between now and two months from now, since that appears to be their official timeline.

    Besides, like Grey said if pre-purchasers get their early crack at Dual Pistols in March, then I'd hope that it's something that's been patched more reciently than... Two weeks before DP went into closed beta? Or has it been longer than that?
  19. Yeah, I noticed this a while ago and bugged it. And yeah, it's fixed on Test, just waiting for the next patch.

    Walkin' away.

    So, bugged this, I'm sure it's a bug, but it's so awesome I'd like them to not fix it. If you use the ninja leap costume change while walking, it doesn't stop to animate the costume change... In fact, it doesn't pause the walking animation at all, even to switch it between female and male bodies...

    To confirm, the female walk looks fabulous on a male...

    And the male walk looks so much more natural on a female model that isn't wearing six inch heels.

    Yeah, I tried this out with Shekinah first and was all like, "Dayum, that's gonna bring the boys to the yard." And then I was trying to find a map to the yard...

    Just because it's not a definitive answer doesn't mean they haven't given one. Patience, grasshopper.
    Oh, oka-Wait a minute, so the answer is 'we don't know yet'?

    I mean, thanks for letting me know that I did indeed fail my search-fu, and this was a question on others' minds as well, but... Ah, well, I'll have patience.

    This, Please THIS QUESTION RIGHT HERE!

    I've been wracking my brain over it since Going Rogue news began. Am I really just missing something every time it's said?

    Heck, I feel like this is the first time someone else has even asked the question.
