Sounds like a great team character and a fairly bad solo one.

It should also stack with Howling Twilight.

Quote:GoliathBirdEater, here. It's not as good as the real thing, but it's useful. And the devs are still posting.Originally Posted by Dr_Darkspeed
They're not. The prob with the new boards is that the dev digest isn't working, so theres no easy place to find the dev posts (apart from the temporary dev digest someone put up) -
Quote:Given that it filters God but not Satan, that made it good for jokes about how "The fundies are right! Video games ARE Satanic!!"Originally Posted by Golden_Girl_EU
The filter used to/still does filter "god", which is often a typo of "good" - so telling someone they were good, or were doing a good job, or had come up with a good idea could seem insulting if you didn't add the extra "o"
It also filters B5, and at least one series of numbers.
As for why; I've heard it said that the censor list was copied from another system that scanned for word combinations and not single words; so God got on the list because it's a component of phrases like "god damn". -
Quote:But that's what has been said all along. BaB even went into some detail as to why. He said that it could be done but would basically preclude them from doing anything else; then they got more manpower and could work on Power Customization without bringing the rest of the game's animation work to a halt.Originally Posted by Extor_Prime
After all the "This cannot be done. Ever. Stop asking. No, really, stop asking. In order to do this, we would have to change fundamental laws of physics and possibly end the world and remake it in a new image" posts... After all that, it really has GOT to hurt to say: we could do it all along, we just thought it was too damn much work.

Quote:Here's one of the first, from Issue 10 Open Beta. A bunch calling themselves the Steel 70 took out a bunch of Dropships, and demonstrate why the devs added slow immunity to the ships. I recall right after they did that the Dropships zoomed about at above-Superspeed velocity; I think they should have kept them that way. It was intimidating to have something like that roar down on you that fast.Originally Posted by Doctor_Gemini
The drop ships can be attacked, but, like giant monsters, not by a lone hero. There are numerous videos on YouTube that show groups of heroes taking out dropships.

Quote:Yes, considering that one of the other times you need to resummon a lot of pets is when something wipes out most of them with AoEs. I like being able to whip out a new batch of henchmen that fast. Now, if they could make the upgrade endurance cost dependant on how many actually get upgraded . . .Originally Posted by Cybershadow_NA
I think this is a great change, but now I question the need for the change in the two upgrade powers. Wasn't the point of that to speed the setup process when entering a mission? Now, the only time we'll need to resummon is when the henchmen die, and it's unlikely for all of them to die at once unless the mastermind does.
So I guess my point is, since most resummoning will be done in combat situations now, are massive endurance hog upgrade powers still desirable? -
Well, it looks like they fixed the problem that caused the rollback and are going to publish the new build. So we hopefully won't have to wait until Issue 16 to be rid of the bug.

Quote:But doesn't that mean you are hurting the game? What if you not being angry weakens them and they take out the heal? Give in to your anger and make the game strong! Get mad! Gnash your teeth! Pound the desk! Gnaw the monitor!Originally Posted by Doctor_Daedalus
Paragon Studios is powered by rage. They feed off of it. It's like blood to a vampire for them.
I was kind of mad at first, but then I read about the electric armor heal and now I am not mad.
ARRRRGH! -
Quote:GoliathBirdEater has cobbled together a "Temporary Dev Digest" with a list of Dev names you can click to get their recent posts. Not as good as the real thing but useful.Originally Posted by bAss_ackwards
Yeah, I wish they'd fix that. Scurrying around trying to find Developer and Community posts sucks.

Generally fairly timely, but I've heard of some people recently having to send in a petition.

Quote:Possibly the fear of thousands of people trying to log onto it all at once and breaking it?Originally Posted by Ghost_Vision_NA
I hope they will tell us why they felt the need to close the character creator now. From what we've seen so far there isn't anything earth shattering in there that could upset the world balance of good and evil.

Quote:Unfortunately you can't; it appears that it was a bit of a glitch letting us see that and non-closed-beta people aren't supposed to be able to get in the character creator anymore. Bah.Originally Posted by anachrodragon
If this is true, then I'll have to rework my build. Also, if this is true I might have to make a ton more Electric oriented alts when I16 goes live. Oh darn, more alts....
(Can't wait to get home and confirm if this is true) -
Quote:Ever do a villainside newspaper mission that says something like "Maizon calls villainname out", about how he called you out in a news conference? And it turns out that Maizon is a Behemoth? Well, if they can hold news conferences, why can't they read? They probably needed to learn to read the teleprompters, if nothing else.Originally Posted by Ironblade
I was in a CoT mission yesterday and encountered a large group of enemies, mostly behemoths. Every single behemoth was reading a book. My comment to the team, "Behemoths can read??"

Quote:There always seem to be a fair number of people who don't realize that if an Issue isn't even in closed beta yet, it sure isn't going to live. I've seen that same type of chatter whenever a new Issue starts being talked about.Originally Posted by Gaelic_Reign
When the servers went down earlier, there was a flurry of people in Broadcast shouting, "Is it i16!? Is it here!?" I almost fell out of my chair because of all the stupidity.

Quote:Yes. And for each costume slot; so you can, say, use the classic Foot Stomp in your first costume slot, and the new Ground Punch animation in your second.Originally Posted by Takumi
Apparently, there's going to be some animation changes for Super Strength and Martial Arts, a secondary set of moves. My question is, can you choose which ones you want for which powers?

I've never used the MM version, but I understand that it's just like the scrapper version. It's quite nice; it disables minions and stacks with any other stuns you or your pets have to take out Lts and Bosses. The HP drain is minimal; if you have Health that will counteract it, much less any self heals.

Quote:It will probably be very soon; I just checked their Twitter link and it said "Issue 16 Closed Beta is getting closer and closer..."Originally Posted by Djeannie
Ah probably from the new forum migration. I'll have to check to see if those threads still even exist ^_^. Thanks for the heads up.
I SO Can't wait to see what i can do customization wise to my characters. Purple/blue dark powers for my little evil pixie
Perhaps blue flames or red ice powers for my fire/ice tank, change the dark blasts on my dark/rad defender and the green rad powers to something different like oranges to go with her infernal look. Probably change the green glow on regen to something else and the green/yellow glow on my will tank to be more neutral, probably whiteish or something. Can make Djeannie's powers more purple/gold like her outfit too! grav/rad hehehehe. Hmmm I wonder if we can change the look of the pets colors, like fluffy and gravpet....GLEEE!
/sigh Wish it was on test now hahaha
EDIT : And I just clicked the updater and it's downloading a patch, which it didn't this morning. Hmmmmm. -
