  1. My daughter loves the necklace... and the PAX scarf.
  2. The worst name I've seen was also the best: Wite Ninga

    His costume was all white... and he was an Empath.

    He didn't say whether you could keep your old Epics when you switched, so your idea may not work.

    As for reds getting blue APP, how do they plan on working with the fact that as a dom we get some of the blue APP in our Dom secondaries?
    They might just say "Tough luck, try to use an APP with minimal overlap..".

    Quote:
    If they are going to treat EPP/APP as they are treating the SG's and location, being a rogue/vigilante is favorable to being a blue or a red. If I can take from both the APP/EPP pools then maybe sign me up for GR.
    I'm guessing you need to go the Full Monty to get access to the other side's Epics, but this was not discussed.

    I may be wrong but you can side switch HEATS/VEATS, you cant just start them in Praetoria so how will this work for SoA that went blue? I can see a large SoA SG aimed at the downfall of Arachnos.
    Everyone can switch sides, it's just that EATs can't start in Praetoria.

    He sat in the front row so if the devs went off script he could fire a tranquilizer dart to pacify them.

    Don't know if anyone posted it but Posi made an interesting comment during the panel about how once you switch sides you can use whatever Epic set it has. So Redeemed Villains could get APPs, and Fallen Heroes could get Patron sets. Of course, he got a huge facepalm from the Marketing guy for that, so who knows if that's accurate.

    marketeers and storage hogs.
    I believe I heard this from Posi himself, but they were happy with the way respecs worked re: enhancement storage. I think the respec process itself could be greatly streamlined, but as far as preserving more of your IOs, I don't know that they will go for it.

    EDIT: D'oh Sarrate covered that!

    Nevermind!

    I think they're committed to the city, but from reading on the PAX forums it sounds like moving to the BCEC next year is a done deal.
  8. It's been a while... sign me up! Not sure what with at this point.
  9. I'm glad I don't have to pick just one... there are a lot of great ones!

  10. I'm a little shocked seeing all this drama over a straightforward nerf of something that has been OP for a while. I know I don't play on the bleeding edge, but damn, people.

    Well PAX East will be in Boston next year, and in an even bigger venue, so my guess is they might return for a PAX panel and M n' G.

    I had fun at this one, and I won the 4650 HD!

    I felt bad for him... he was surrounded by a crowd who just kept firing questions at him. Of course, that didn't keep me from asking my own questions, but still.

    Oh, and I won the ATI 4650 HD Video card in the raffle!

    I spoke with Posi at the Meet and Greet about 1 to 50 content in Praetoria, and it sounds like it won't happen sooner than I20, and probably not then, either. For now, the four zones we have are the 1-20 content. Except for the first level of Incarnate content in GR, I don't expect there to be any 20-50 content in Praetoria.

    Well, Positron couldn't say much about the system, but I'm pretty sure if you're getting new powers in the Incarnate system then there will be a way to slot them up. It would be illogical to assume otherwise... unless Incarnate powers are so mind-blowingly awesome out of the box that they required no enhancement. But I highly doubt that.

    That's what I meant when I said it was more Ken & Ryu.

    With Power Customization, they could do it one way and add an alternate set of animations later.

    I18 is the GR issue.

    Someone asked now that four new sets are being added, what has "moved up" on the white board to being closer to reality. Staves were specifically mentioned.

    Oh, and because of the new sets the Staff set has moved up a few notches.

I understand it's probably a reference to the Kinetics support set but the name should be recognized as unacceptably silly to anyone with a cursory understanding of mechanical physics...

    That said... I would love to be able to yell out "Fulcrum...PAAAAAAAUNCH!" should that be a power name.
    The part about Kinetic Melee that bothers me in the melee part. In the video it didn't look like he ever hit his enemies...
