    However, I WOULD like to see these leaked invention salvage whatevers.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I really wish I could remember the name of the salvage. You could see them at WW/BM but I don't think they were actually dropping from mobs.

    They had like cybernetic names and what not. Sorry I'm not of more use.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    That's Praetorian salvage. Presumably available in Going Rogue.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    And as far as I know, they were reusing old salvage icons.

    Are these the same Gear Icons that match the invention salvage that was leaked a week or so ago?

    And I want to see this set at some point, for Scrappers and Stalkers. It's the Tech-equivalent of Ninjitsu, and would work great for a spy characters (along with the new Martial Arts in I16 ).

    [ QUOTE ]
    Looks pretty good to me. Only problem I have with it is it's very definitely Technology oriented. Most powersets tend to be not focused so heavily towards a single origin (Mastermind pets being about the only exceptions, I think?) so players have the freedom to pick whichever origin they like and still have their concept make sense.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The set is tech-themed, but without knowing what the powers themselves (would) look like, I can't say how restricting that is. Would you say Ninjitsu is restricting? It's slanted towards Natural/Magic. And even so, this set would be no worse than, say, Devices.

    I would think that the chance for a Prototype Element or an Access Bypass (the latter often worth a hefty sum) is a good reason to do the Vault Break In/Smash and Grab side mission.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Did they ever make it so that you don't have to be in SG mode to get those?

    Masterminds - Slaves ....

    Sorry but LuLZ! They aren't allowing female pets because of POSSIBLE sexist abuse, I seriously doubt they would allow slaves.

    ..just sayin

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The funny thing here is that the concept that it doesn't become offensive until women are involved, I find quite sexist. There's really nothing stopping me from making an MM backed by his or her band of boytoys, aside from common sense and some dignity.

    That, and I've never heard the devs say any such thing in the first place. I also remember all those people saying they'd never allow model switches due to the "obvious" and "inevitable" abuse.

    Running through the sewers to get 8 fast levels is farming, pal. Sorry to break it to you, but that's the truth.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    What a curious new definition of farming.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    farming (in games) - the act of using an easy device or exploit to progress through levels of a game or to gain in game valuables in as fast a way as possible. (see also PLing)

    Guess it's time to put an XP cap on street sweeping. Sewer teams are ruining the game!

    Anyone know if "Neutral Stance" and/or "Center Stance" are new emotes or old emotes under a new name? I can't seem to find the slash commands for those stances listed under Idle. Nuetral stance animates a stance at a 45 degree angle with the left foot forward. Whereas Center Stance is just a straight stance.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    They're ;Idle1 and ;Idle2.
  7. It has to be Wolf Spiders, AFAIK, which is a little strange and annoying.

    Agree but i also want a natural booster pack,but i have no idea what would be in it.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Booster packs for each origin are already confirmed.

    Molecular Blast (Kinetics)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Energy Blast.

    Not only do Kinetics and Energy as a pair just kinda make sense, but when I think what comic-booky molecules look like, they're remarkably close to Energy Blast.

    <QR> So out of curiosity.. does it work on your mission map?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    MB: Works on mish maps. The graphic for it doesn't kick off as well though. You get the device animation, but not the awesome "holodeck" grid superimposition like you do in a zone.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Screenshot of this, please?

    Are you saying you can easily and quickly traverse the cities in CoX with just hurdle?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I know that my Dominator that has both Swift and Hurdle gets around pretty dang fast. Admittedly, CoV's zones a bit on the side of small (or at least more compact), making it a slightly more viable option villainside.
  12. Just for that player/those SG members, right? 'Cause otherwise I'm betting would be used as a griefing tool within seconds of it launching.

    The other thing that I'm not sure about is the legal ramifications. Theoretically, if it only called up the .mp3 for you and only you, I don't see how it could be an issue. Calling it up for a whole SG however...

    What are "Game Sages", and what game has them? How well has that worked for them?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I met the game sage Rosemary one thyme.

    [/ QUOTE ]She's a nice girl, but "parsley" insane!

    Ugh. If I was a volunteer moderator, I would temp-ban you for that.
  14. If BABs, Jay, and/or their respective underlings could pull this off, I'd love to see it.

    So which part of that leads into this?

    [ QUOTE ]
    red-side needs this badly.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    And no mention of Psi resistance?

    If this is a PVP complaint, then the devs already thought of it - Patron Shields give their bonus to everything in PVP.

    If this is a PVE complaint, I'm just not clear on what you're in need of Fire resistance for.

    And, as seen above, /em flashlightup and /em flashlightdown are missing. (Just clarifying Goliath, since it looks like /em flashlight is actually a synonym for flashlightdown.)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Actually, ;flashlight will alternate between ;flashlightup and ;flashlightdown.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Ah. I thought I might've caught that, but flipping between a reply window, Mantid's guide, and the game window had me jumbled up a bit.

    Post edited, just to be thorough.
  18. To the former, yes, dying with patrol XP counts as working debt off for the badge. To the latter, I'm not sure.

    As for everything else ... you're still right. I'm going to bed now, seeing as I've been thoroughly sussed. Devs, listen to this person; they actually know what they're talking about, as opposed to me.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Don't feel too bad. My OCD probably wouldn't have been set off if you hadn't posted.
  20. [ QUOTE ]
    Okay, just went through the list.

    So far, I see /em flashlight and /em flashlightdown missing from the emote list. Those, however, are the only omissions aside from unlockables and booster-specific emotes that I've found. I'll check again to be sure.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It looks like the following are also missing (with helpful links to Mantid's guide):

    Hmmm

    Welcome

    And, as seen above, /em flashlightup and /em flashlightdown are missing. (Just clarifying Goliath, since it looks like /em flashlight is actually a synonym for flashlightdown. Edit: /em flashlight actually alternates between the two, just to clarify even further.)

    Right now "Taunt" appears to only perform /em taunt2, and therefore /em taunt1 is missing. "Taunt" should be split into "Taunt 1" and "Taunt 2".

    Other issues:

    "Plot" should probably be renamed to "Scheme," as it performs /em scheme. There's technically nothing wrong with this, as /em plot is a synonym, however, as seen in the URL above, /em hmmm is a synonym for /em plotting. Seems like it would be a good idea to just side-step the potential (and existing ) confusion, and also name /em plotting "Hmmm..." on the menu.

    Similarly, "Welcome" should be renamed to "You're Welcome" as that's the actual emote it performs, and in order to allow for the above missing "Welcome" emote to be added without conflict.

    "Thumbsup" needs a space or a hyphen.

    "GetSome" needs a space in there.

    "SlashThroat" and "Handsup" also need spaces.

    "stun" and "fear" need to be capitalized.

    "AFK sleep" too, just to look nicer.

    Technically, does the Tracklist need to feature the "bb" prefix on all of the different songs?
  21. I'm pretty sure Prisoners were (at least supposedly) removed due to some crazy double XP bug.

    User Interface

    * The issue involving random characters appearing in the chat line has been fixed. For example, players should now no longer see “asdawasdsawdsLevel 10 Scrapper LFT”
    * Global Chat Channels will no longer change colors randomly upon zoning.
