Cool, thanks guys. Guess I'll be making effective use out of those Range bonuses I have!

Specifically, Battle Maiden:
I've done two Apex TFs in the last two days with my Fortunata, who I generally play hover-blast style. In both, I've pretty much stuck to that. At the end of the one I did today, someone mentioned that the blue patches would harm the people on the ground underneath, even if they were in the air.

On the flip side, when I've flown underneath them, they didn't harm me, and heck, it seems like when they -Fly me, by the time I'm on the ground, they're not hurting me (handy for survival, really...).

So can someone confirm where, and when the nanite swords inflict their massive damage? And how they're supposed to do it, if they're buggy at the moment? Because a little clarification would help either clear my conscience, or at least keep me from causing invisible death to rain onto my team.

I always thought that was meant to happen on the mission where you rescue the defector. Sort of a "NO ONE ESCAPES NEMESIS" statement made, with the intent that the mission gets failed. Granted, I think the whole concept of missions where you're meant to fail is pretty horrible, so i do sneaky things on it, but that's neither here nor there.

Never seen it anywhere else, but I wouldn't complain if I did. 8 Fake Nemeses are a better fight than 8 Nemesis Lieutenants!

Seldom, unless I'm mistaken, it sounds like you're saying just to make the -Regen in Envenom stackable, but the -Regen is can already be stacked, though the -Def and -Res cannot.

My very first alt was a Fire/Ice tank. I deleted him and remade him a number of times so the "original" one isn't around any more, but the character does still exist. The latest incarnation is a few years old at this point. Sitting somewhere in his late 30s, and gets very little play time.

Apparently, it's in Studio 55. I saw a message of such when claiming a vet spec, IIRC (or maybe trying to use a Freespec when I didn't have one).

Well, I admit that based on the sneak peak: The Lambda Sector trial is hella fun, and if the BAF is anything like it, I'll enjoy playing it (but I'm not gonna test it yet, I wanna keep some surprise for live!). So my hopes that it would be "like Apex" are pretty much justified, I think.

I'm a little disappointed by how little is earned with a single raid, though. As it is, it seems like there'll need to be three raids each just to unlock each slot (and maybe get a common?). Even as fun as it is, I fear that may get real tedious, real fast. And it's a real feeling of non-achievement.

I like it. I'd especially like it to see just little touches of flavor (more or less like we have in Tip missions now) into Praetoria. And I love the idea of linking difficulty to higher level rewards, since there really isn't much reason to crank it up, currently.

When ya miss, Geko ya miss, but hey, I'd say this one not only hits, but knocks it outta the park.

Death is just a part of the game. Everyone makes mistakes. While I wouldn't call a bind like that out-and-out funny it does paint something that might otherwise be annoying in an amusing light. If someone gets their knickers in a twist over it and does think you're being rude, they're probably taking themselves a little too seriously, and most need the laugh.

That said, I also agree with those that say seeing that every time it goes off would get annoying.

I'm pretty sure you only have to mention Hickman once.

I never even knew there were missions missing. That certainly explains why there are three identical hunts back to back.

So if I use the NCSoft launcher once, and then burn all traces of it and go back to the normal CoH launcher, do I get to keep the aura?

In this scary new Inherent Fitness world, I kinda like the fact that Boxing's more or less a useless prerequisite, as it's something I can take that's not going to require any slotting.

But I can see where "I like it because it's a useless waste" might mean it's seen as problematic, by some people.
