Doing a "no xp while exempted" 2nd respec tonight, 8:30 eastern.
Voo: I think it's a combination of most people only going for two hours, and low attendance for the past month or so.
In the final analysis... it's probably your fault. -
Steam selling 5 billion games for 10 bucks or under makes it easy to take a break.

I then searched for this movie on the net, to find out what the oscillation overthruster looks like.
Buckeroo Banzai is one of the greatest movies ever. Too bad they never made the sequel Buckaroo Banzai vs. The World Crime League. -
Quote:That's my point. Anyone who's a 69 month vet will already be sitting on a stack of respecs. They should discontinue offering those as "rewards" at this level.Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
Eh, they have those periodically. I think it usually switched off for a lot of them, one reward gave you a power or something, the next just a respec. Kind of saw that coming.

Yes it happens, but that doesn't mean that it's a sensible thing to do. The handful of times I've seen it happen I've added a note for the team leader to remind myself to avoid him in the future. Someone who is a gear snob is probably not someone I want to play with
I've never seen this happen in my years of playing. Hell, I'm scandalized when someone criticizes another player for not taking a specific power (Taunt comes to mind...). -

I've seen people being turned down for STFs and LRSFs quite a few times because they didn't have an IOed out build. Just saying.

Lame... except for the new character slot. The 69 month is incredibly lame.

She remained convinced that a TF team leader would take one look at her character info, see the karma -knockback IO as her only set bonus and kick her off the team. Understand that the player in question also played World of Warcraft for a couple of years and apparently such gear discrimination is a lot more common in that game.
What's really sad is she wouldn't even try running with her character when you offered to set something up. This is a Rad Defender we're talking about... one of the most effective Debuff sets in the game!
This is yet another reason why CoX > other MMOs. -
Is there some way to get email alerts on Steam sales?
-
Dammit... I need to stop buying stuff on Steam unless it's on sale. I picked up King's Bounty Gold Edition last week for 40 bucks... and now it's $11.25.

Voo:*&*@*(())@#^&%^&!!!!
Team: Shut it! Shield us! And then go get us a beer and a sammich while we kill stuff.
Voo: ::cries:: (goes off to a corner and kills a Lt. while the rest of the team removes 3 spawns)... -

Thanks for the comments though NONE OF YOU are adhering to the topic of the thread

Fixed. Now stop threadjacking. You're dead to me

Just make sure you take both shields, slot them, and use them often. Nothing's worse than a buff-bot with unslotted shields!

Finished Mirror's Edge tonight. The ending was a little lackluster but it was a solid title. I don't think it was worth $50 on release, however... maybe $30.

Quote:Know your role, buff-bot! Just keep the bubbles coming and maybe you can stay on the team!Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
I'm not enthralled with my Defender's capabilities, either (he seems quite helpful to the team, but I like to feel like I can do a fair amount myself as well).
-
My only lvl 50 Brute is Elec/Elec, but he was an Isos baby, so it's not really an accomplishment.

Well done!

Quote:Off the top of my head, CoV had:Originally Posted by Liz Bathory
COV hardly had new NPC groups. GR will be swarmned with reworked/new NPC groups.
Arachnos
RIP cops/Rent-a-cops
Snakes
Goldbrickers
Luddites
Legacy Chain
Scrapyarders
Arachnoids
Admittedly, they were concentrated in the lower levels, but it seemed like a decent amount at the time. I'll be surprised if GR has more than 7 totally new groups. -
The sad part is, with the exception of totally new power sets and primary/secondary respecs, we should have all those things in the game already.
-
In an interview Posi did say GR would consist of "multiple zones".
What exactly do you want out of an expansion, Voo? Since you're not interested in rolling new characters, do you just want more robust end-game content, or do you actually want (gasp!) a level cap increase? -
Quote:I don't see how you can say we could get a "city" worth of content in a normal issue update. Not counting the launch of CoV, the most we've got in a single update would be Issues 2 and 7, which included a single zone and the last ten levels of content for Heroes and Villains. GR needs to have content from 1 to 50 on the Praetorian side of the fence (or 1 to 40, if they're going to add the last 10 levels in Issue 18).Originally Posted by VoodooCompany
Yes, there might be a "city" worth of content. "New" mobs, which may or may not be just combination of powers/models of existing stuff. 2 new powersets. None of which can't be included in just a normal issue update IMO.
If, as you say, GR is merely a "bridge", then the game is Doomed™. I'm confident this is not the case. -
Quote:GR should have as much content as CoV did at launch (not including all the new ATs and sets). Anything significantly less is unacceptable.Originally Posted by konshu
As far as content goes, I'd be surprised if GR is giving us more than 4 small zones and 18 new arcs.
