Ghost Falcon said in-game that barring fixes (and a small addition Jay might be making), the booster is pretty much in its completed form.

lovely. They now do maintenance during the start of primetime. I love how well they take our money and reduce playtime AND hardly take care of real issues (those they like to blame on US).

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
This was a needed stability fix to help lag on the North American servers and to help the European players just get onto their servers! If it wasn't an emergency, the devs wouldn't have brought the servers down now.
And as for people not being able to log on: try again. I'm logged onto Pinnacle right now, and others are logged onto other servers. -
Just logged onto Pinnacle.

You in a bad mood much?
Just cause I used exclamation points don't mean I'm crying...and name calling for bringing up a pretty serious bug (IMO) sounds like a overreaction :P
If we are going to name calling, I'm going to have to go with Drama Queen for you.

If you're really not uber-pissed about this, then my apologies. Lots of stupid going around these days, and I do sometimes have a short fuse when dealing with said stupidness or things that appear to be said stupidness.
If, however, you are indeed uber-pissed about this, then my point stands. -

Awww I was enjoying that awesome damage. Oh and...STABILITY ISSUES??? THey better consider PVP IOs a "stability issue" cause I want them back before i pvp tonight!!!
[/ QUOTE ]
Oh calm down, you big baby! Castle said that PvP rewards not dropping is a bug and that they're working on it. You cannot assume that a bug has a relatively straightforward fix, even if it looks like a relatively straightforward bug. You have two choices: either act like a man (or woman if applicable) and wait for the bug to be fixed, or cry some more. Which one will it be? -

Surprisingly, the Mastermind temp power actually worked!
It was still a slugfest at the end, though, working through all of Reichsman's HP. We did it, though, and I'll show you my Arbiter badge if you want proof. 
[/ QUOTE ]
....
Okay, I believe you - I know you know what that looks from when it actually worked on Test. But can you give a bit more detail?
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, as I amended that post to say, it either worked or looked like it did. Reichsman would go untouchable, I'd call for the MMs to hit him, and in short order I'd start to see damage pop up over his head again. Unfortunately, there was so much carnage around him (pets from 2 Masterminds, Shivans, and other stuff in addition to us) that I didn't actually notice if there was any sort of visual cue. Like I said, it could just be my optimism tricking me into thinking that the power was working, but I know that every time he became untouchable, he became touchable again very quickly.
ADDED: It's just been brought to my attention that Black Scorpion's power should keep him from becoming untouchable at all, instead of breaking him from an already-activated untouchable phase. How I missed this, I have no idea. So, I guess it isn't working after all.

Just finished the Reichsman SF on Pinnacle. Coordination using the temp powers was a little sketchy (being a new SF and all), so we ended up wiping and fighting our way back to Reichsman through all the 5th Ambushes.
Surprisingly, the Mastermind temp power actually worked ... or at least looked like it worked. It was still a slugfest at the end, though, working through all of Reichsman's HP. We did it, though, and I'll show you my Arbiter badge if you want proof.

Did they modify any other costume pieces this issue? Seems strange to only update one.

I want to say that they did... but I can't for the life of me remember which ones, or even if I'm right.

The "Tanker" pattern for chests is now it's own skin option. Nothing fancy, but it does look like you're wearing sleeveless tights as opposed to painted-on sleeveless tights. -

As ZI says it hasn't been released yet. Apparently there are a few issues with how the body changing works. Major issues.
[/ QUOTE ]
Just one, really. Although it is a doozy. If you change body types while in SG mode, there's a good chance that your character's body geometry will become severely screwed up. Logging out fixed it, but I'm sure the devs would rather keep it from not happening at all.
There are also some minor graphic issues with a couple of the emotes, and the change that Jay was gonna try to get in there before the booster went live. -
They just redid some sounds. water splashing has a different sound now as well.

And i quote from silver mantis!

Combat start: C'mon, heroes! I'll take you all at once!
At 75% Life: Mmmmm! You hurt me so good!
At 50% Life: The pain! The anger! Yes! You really know how to treat a girl!
At 25% Life: Oh yes! OH YES! This is a battle!
Defeated: That's it...
I'm spent
Take the code, you earned it.
After defeating a hero: Done already? I hoped you'd last...longer.

What? She enjoys battle. That's all.
Really, though, her dialogue is still suggestive. It's suggestive as Hell, but it's still suggestive. And that's alright in a T-Rated game. -

Global warming is both fact and fiction.
There have been marked increases in global warming trends, outside the planet's usual heating and cooling pattern. And these increases do coincide with the industrial revolution. They are not, however, as great as some would have you believe. Originally, global warming was debunked by corporations and other entities who stood to lose if it was proven true. Now, it's being magnified by corporations and other entities who stand to gain by it being proven true. -
One more thing regarding servers:
The capacity of the servers was increased a while back. This means that you don't see servers other than Virtue or Freedom go into yellow that often, and into red even less. A server with a green dot does not equal an empty server! It simply means that the server is under a light load. And while high populations have their advantages, they also carry with them, disadvantages such as lock-out during a major event, and the occasional gameplay issues due to the high level of stress the server is having to deal with. -
When you win an internet, do you just get one tube, or your own little personal series of them?

I totally heard that in Dark Helmet's voice.
And +1 -
First and foremost, my SS/Inv Brute will be seeing his attack animations (and especially Rage) go from their normal gold color to something less ... shiny.
I also might remake some characters with different powersets, due to their names and concepts requiring them to have powers of specific colors.
Also, I'm likely going to be able to come up with a lot more satisfactory concepts for new characters now that powersets can really represent multiple ideas with a change of paint. -

Pardon me if this has already been stated; I haven't yet gone through the entire thread.

THIS IS NOT CROSSDRESSING!
Male characters have not gained the ability to wear lipstick, pencil skirts, or a wedding dress. Likewise, female characters have not gained the ability to have beards or wear some of the typically "male" clothing options previously denied them (I can't think of any off the top of my head). This is switching out one character model for another. There is nothing inherently sexual about this. It only becomes a sexual thing when people want it to be sexual, be they playing it up or trying to stamp it out.
[/ QUOTE ]
A point that has been brought up repeatedly and has been ignored.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, I see that now that I've read this much of the thread. At least I'm not the only person to actually have the common sense necessary to realize that point.

On topic: It's the devs' game, but it serves them well fiscally to try and give the players what they want within reason. -

ThunderKatt, the booster appears to have been disabled on test this morning.
[/ QUOTE ]
I was wondering about this myself. I just saw the patch notes this morning & tried to view the new stuff but couldn't. So they only allowed the new stuff to be viewed for a day? That's not very long to see if something works right or not.
[/ QUOTE ]
Actually, quite a few bugs were caught and reported last night. Both Castle and Ghost Falcon were there, and with a player's help, Castle was even able to track down a geometry corruption bug which screwed up a character's body if they switched genders while in SG mode. Believe me, those of us who test stuff work rather quickly. -

Unfortunately, Science information was just released. Perhaps you can think of a way to tweak it to fit Mutation, which hasn't been done yet.

Last night, in the Beta Testers global channel, Ghost Falcon said that the booster was more or less set in stone, barring bug fixes and such.
