    I'm pretty sure that you shouldn't waste the effort. Zwill said on Virtue I think it was Wednesday night, that base raid is likely never ever coming back. It would break too many people's bases and it's not something they're going to put in the time for.

    This suits me just fine as paint. Now if they would just remove the arbitrary limit on how many "defense" items we can have per room and make all of them read as decor, I'd be perfectly happy with the base system.

    Err, how about that sleep patch? The one that pulses sleep so you can sit there punching a guy and he keeps falling asleep? The chaining confuse, the chaining kd? I'd say it's got a few fairly unique tricks up its sleeve - not to mention that yummy aura that de-blues everything on the sleep patch while I'm punching them.
  4. This whole thing CAN'T be how it's meant to run... I can't imagine why we can't get all three things we're entitled to on our billing date?

    I got my server xfer near the first of the month, possibly on my billing date, which is the third.

    Got my points on the 12th.

    Haven't gotten my token yet.

    I don't like the feeling that I can't keep track of all this stuff flying around, you know?

    Yeah, that makes sense. I just recently turned that setting back on because RMT emails are starting to pop up again :-/

There's like a couple hundred different entities with different animations specific to them, and most of them are special case critters with just a few animations designed for them, because those things do not have to be able to execute all the animations for every single power and emote. But player rigs do, and more to the point when you make a rig play an animation designed for something else, *something* happens but generally not what you think.

    The problem isn't making a four legged dog: the devs clearly can do that. Its probably not that much different than making these in theory:



    As long as it only does an extremely limited set of things, those things can be specially created by the animators. The problem is figuring out what's supposed to happen when a four legged dog tries to perform an Eagle's Claw, or eat a doughnut, or draw a set of dual blades, or juggle.
    Well the Kheldian squid-form already has like, no emotes or animations aside from swim-flying and attacking, and as far as I know, people still play them. Why would this be different?


    Also: Gob! Don't summon him, jeeze!!

    If that happens, I, who play exclusively blueside and have only one villain (to play with my husband when he INSISTS we have to go play over there) will take EVERY FREAKING ONE of my characters redside to kill States, if he is indeed the one to die. Count on it.

    Hey, thanks for the name-calling, but no, I hate the whole concept of running around with a giant weapon. Thanks for playing, though!

  10. Definitely my Dark/Dark/Dark Defender... and probably my Fortunata Widow.

    But I would probably be too upset to ever want to roll another COX character!
  11. Bleh.

    Enjoy, folks who wanted this sort of thing... I hate the way it looks so much >.<
  12. My renewal date is the 4th or 5th and I got mine on the 12th too! I didn't realize people who renewed AFTER the 10th would be on that date as well. Huh.
  13. The RPers aren't as much a minority as you think. Most of us just keep our RP out of folks' way, in the SG bases, in teamchat, etc. However, I do run into a ton of RP in the open in Atlas, and in mission speak, on Virtue.

    Just... don't go to the D. It's scary there.

    Man, that would suit me just fine.

    Ever since I played through First Ward, every time I see that little weasel I want to jaw-pop him...
  15. Because now instead of getting blind team invites, I've been getting blind /gfriend invites. Presumably so that I can be spoken to on the friend channel, since no one that's attempted to /gfriend me is someone I know and I have not accepted any. I've gotten five of them this week, and have not gotten ANY previously from people I do not know.

    Is this the new blind invite? If so, just give team invites to the freebs, this is obnoxious. Their hands are tied so that this is what they have to resort to?
  16. I found this arc a LOT less fun than the first, and absolutely ugly to blast through for rewards. Not to mention, the non-interuptable rez was terribly obnoxious. I certainly won't be doing this one again after I get through it for the rewards.

    But don't worry, if you miss any of the Celestial Armor set because of it, they'll go ahead and sell it to you, or make you grind for it in the future.
    Can you not read the thread? No one's being cheated, FFS. You'll get your token at the END of the billing cycle.
  18. We're still diffusing Nemesis bombs. Frankly, the mission's gonna end a LOT differently if we diffuse instead of defuse....
  19. Yup. I used to love helping out in the Help channel. Now, I've taken the entire tab off of all my characters' chat windows. It's sad, but that channel's totally worthless now.

    Also: it's not just the freebs doing it. Not even close.

    Read the post right above yours.
  23. I dump my super-common salvage for 5 inf for the badges. And because I don't care to go to a vendor and sell it :P

    What also helps is using correct terminology.

    I can understand major recipes Io's yadda yadda, But not training enhancements? At least training enhancements to 15?
    Your quote there makes no sense. Any recipe IOs has nothing whatsoever to do with training enhancements.

    You want to move Training enhancements into the crafted category? What would be the purpose of that? They are currently drops, and are only useful sub-level-12.

    Or do you actually mean generic IOs?

    There's a crafting tutorial for those who have access to enhancements, so new players WILL be shown how to use the system when they reach that access level.
