Last post!

Voo won't let you get the last post, Viv.

They have until 9AM PST/12 EST. They still may not make that window, though.

I'm more bothered by "tyre" myself.

Peace out, yo!

Qr - in regard to who's coming or going where, i just had a thought - both boards are moving to one, aren't they? Technically, the EU boards could claim that 'the Americans are coming!' too?

[/ QUOTE ]

Wouldn't it be 'The Yanks are coming!'?

Aw, come on!

I feel funny when I agree with Voo...

PS: Woohoo! Last word in this thread before the Forumocalypse!

Some particulars are left out of certain sets (no yellow ice patch, no bloody ice...). People will whine but then that's better than the alternative

[/ QUOTE ]

I can see why no yellow ice, but what's wrong with red ice?

[/ QUOTE ]

We want ice to look like 'ice' and because of how the FX were created when you apply a very saturated, non-cool hue to them they no longer look like ice and instead look like a cartoonish jewel.

Even saturated greens turn ice FX into emeralds, so we've had to desaturate the hues as they move away from the cool cyans/blues.

There's still reds, oranges, yellows, etc...but they're desaturated tints.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is acceptable.

Thanks for clarifying, BAB.

Since we won't have Forum access on Wednesday:

Meeting no.: 15
Target level: 44
Meeting Location: SG Base

Agenda: G'ville

HBD, Z!

Thanks for all the great intel from the SDCC.

Bloody. I don't know what all the colors will wind up being, though. Like I said it may change anyway. It was also quite busy and I wasn't really paying that close attention to each one's selections

[/ QUOTE ]

Bloody ice can't look worse than those bloody tentacles! I say free the spectrum! Personally, I'd like to be able to do day glow colors for the Stone sets as well...

Manticore and Ghost Widow are switching sides in issue 17? Is that even possible?

[/ QUOTE ]

It might be possible, but I think it's more likely that the Praetorian version of Manticore is a villain and the Praetorian version of Ghost Widow is a hero.

[/ QUOTE ]We already know about Manticore, he's a villain named Chimera.

[/ QUOTE ]

I got the sense from the panel that they might be ret-conning some of the Praetorian counterparts. I guess in Chimera's case there will be no change.

It is gonna suck being stuck with this name, but I gotta do it!

...you can still change it, just in case.

You know what scares me about this whole forum thing? Golden_Girl will be back.

[/ QUOTE ]

I keep hearing that... what happened to Golden_Girl?

Here's my reading (emphasis mine):

Between 7AM and 9AM Pacific Time, on July 28th, the current UBB Message Boards will be taken offline in order to transfer the data over to the vBulletin Message Boards. This means that the UBB Message Boards will NOT be accessible during that time. The work that needs to be done on the new boards is expected to take approximately 72 hours.

[/ QUOTE ]

So the UBB boards will not be accessible "during that time", i.e, the two hour window. The 72 hour work is mentioned after this, and only refers to the amount of time it will take for the new boards to be set up.

I'm expecting us to be back online with the old UBB boards after 9AM Pacific.

EDIT: Grr... what Voo said.

[ QUOTE ]
I wonder, do you get the default animations when you level up, then change them at Icon? Seems like alot of people will be there.

[/ QUOTE ]

I assumed you could pick all your initial animations during character creation, and this would become your "default" set for any newly created costume.

I took the message to be we will have a two hour outage on the current boards on Monday, and the new site won't be ready until Wednesday or Thursday. So, we won't have no forums for the full 72 hours, that's just the time it will take to set up the new boards.

I'm curious what feature "Joe's Retirement Project" turned into.... hmm....

[/ QUOTE ]

Based on the slide title, I'd have to say... Mission Architect?

Great pics, Zekiran! Thanks for posting these.

Good runs, Viv... thanks!

I sold my purple for a cool 30 million.

I'm down for the ITF... something villainous... not sure what.

[ QUOTE ]
Redside respecs same levels as blueside? If so, what level will Monday's be?

[/ QUOTE ]

44, I think.

Have we heard if we can change the powers customization based on the costume slot, or is it going to be one set of power color customization for one character?

[/ QUOTE ]

Powers can be individually customized per costume slot, but not supergroup mode.

[/ QUOTE ]

Holy crap...

PLing characters to 50 in hours would seem to make players burn out much more quickly than if they had to play the game "as intended". That's why the Devs came down so harshly on AE farmers recently.

[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
As long as you keep playing, they don't care how you play.

[/ QUOTE ]

These two statements do not compute.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure they do. The key clause is "As long as you keep playing". Farmers who PL toons to 50 in minutes and still play are great, but are they the minority or the majority? I honestly don't know, but I assume the former.

[ QUOTE ]
Add in the fact that the greatest farming tool ever is about to be given to us with I-16, the first statement lacks merit even more.

The devs frown upon *exploits.* THAT'S why people were punished. They are apparently quite ambivalent toward farming in general.

[/ QUOTE ]

Farming and PLing are not the same thing.

[ QUOTE ]
[EDIT: Side thought: If there were any truth to the "those that farm to 50 get burnt out and leave" belief, wouldn't all the farmers be gone by now?

[/ QUOTE ]

Farmers like to farm stuff. Who can know the mind of a farmer?
