    The Longest Wait

    Didn't the Devs say there will be an issue before GR launches? I'm not sure what it will have, but it's something.

    Do you mean the game engine actually requires this team makeup, or these classes are required by the players?

    Either way, sounds like very poor design for the late-game content in Aion. A mission full of AVs? Madness! /em kicks angel into big pit

  4. STALKER's a weird little game. I thought it was a straight up FPS, but it's an RPG with a FPS perspective, a la Fallout 3 or Deus Ex. It has a distinctly Euro-feel do it, and not just because the game is set in Russia.
  5. I'm enjoying Mirror's Edge... I think I'm close to the end and I agree that it shouldn't have been a full $50 on release. Maybe 30$?

    Also, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. just hit a price I couldn't resist... two bucks.

    I'm afraid Steam is going to single-handedly destroy the PC game market.
  6. Wow, you have a lot more patience than I do...

    So, he's complaining about repetitive missions, but he wants to farm his way to 50?

    I'm a little surprised that someone like this would roll a Storm/Dark Defender. You'd have thought he'd roll a Blaster or a Scrapper to start if he was interested in soloing. I guess he probably had no idea about how the ATs work, so he just went with something that sounded cool.

    To answer your question, I don't think you could have done anything to convince him CoX was the game for him.

    Friday is better for me than Saturday. Just sayin'.

    Personally, I don't care about the lack of specific GR news... I'm just thinking what could they possibly put in the pre-GR issue that will be interesting, since so much effort is dedicated to GR. I don't think we'll see any new sets, or zones, so that just leaves new contacts/arcs and some QoL/MA enhancements. That's not much to go on since the last Ish (which happened back in September, if you can believe it...).

    I've got Lifetime subs with two other MMOs (CO and LOTRO) so I will probably dedicate more time to them in the coming months.

    Cya Fista.

    Once the current round of Isos wraps up I may take a break from the game as well. GR needed to come a lot sooner, IMHO.

    Halo

    That's an awesome bug.
  11. My only problem with Steam is that it makes it easy to buy more games than I'll ever play!

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
  13. I got plenty of Defenders. I don't know that I can make this Saturday, but I'll be watching this space for more All-D TFs.
  14. Wait, what? No Official Isos this week?
  15. I have a Lava Control/Warmth 'troller and I'm very happy with how Lava looks using a red-orange color.

    I don't mind complexity. I like the Reichsman SF a lot, and that's about as complex as we get here (not counting Hami). What I don't like is when complexity can be overcome just by packing more people (including a number of debuffers) into the mission/zone/whatever.

    Were they red or purple minions? I would think you could drop white cons with a Defender nuke.
  18. Depends on your AT and build, but yes. Snaptooth can be a pain, so you might want to turn down the diff.

    Which is helpful when your SG is too stubborn to join you in Steel.

    I like the twist of the new event, but it seems pretty simple when you have enough people. And, with the all the presents pointing to the same winter zone, it seems pretty likely that you'll have enough people to make it easy.
  20. I saw the post for the 2009 Winter Event, but nowhere in there does it actually have a description of the new content. Can someone give me the 411 on Lord Winter's Realm and what's involved there?

    Based on the subject I thought this was another Lighthouse rant from Ham.
