I am probably going to be around, but just want "pencil" my name for now. I should know later today to confirm. If it fills with definites by the time I do, I don't mind being on the back up list.

Edit - Confirming that I will be on tonight.

I'm not trying to be rude about this, so please, do not take offense, but......They don't give a dam what prime australian playing time is.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think they do care, but maintenance has to happen at SOME point. It's gonna be prime time for someone, and given that they are based in America, they have to do it at some point during the American work day.

OP, that sucks, and I sympathize, but I just don't see it changing.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree with Aisynia that it is not an issue of them not caring, but that it has to happen. As I recall when this is brought up, it was looked at to when it should occur and the current schedule and server numbers point to the window we have now (Off hand, I don't see any direct posts to quote on this and they may be gone via the purges). And as Aisynia mentioned, no matter what time they pick, it will be prime time to some one, some where and it is not a perfect system, just an optimal one for NCSoft.

Agreed by me that a change to the windows would be a nice QoL feature. I dislike "hiding under a rock" for these times too.

I am not fan of additional pop-ups for tells since they could get to be quite many, but that could be just me. I would like something similar to preview panes in some programs where you click the bottom border arrows and the lower 1/3 moves up or down (and you can resize too). This way I can see if any chats are going on and close it as needed.

Eh, Hamster does bring some reality checks to teams & S/TFs I have been on with him (aka. we need a h34l0r mentality).
Also, it does spice up some the content again like that time he moved those pylons in the LGTF or some of his comments. It makes my evenings for sure.

Don't let them talk you out of DB!

My stalker is DB/nin, and she does quite well. DB gives some extra control (KB/KD) when needed. She was my favorite toon too until I made my widow. Oh well, just my two inf. Hope you all enjoy the next Iso's.

Glad we made it through. Close to 49, so I may run a paper or two this weekend to ding and be caught for missing this week.

Won't be on next Friday either, so if you do run an LRSF, good luck and wish I could be there.

[ QUOTE ]
Both of you.

NO... BETTER ........THAN .......TONTO!

[/ QUOTE ]

But I can SK your Fake-Des Widow for l33t XP!

I should be there. 90/10 for a yes. If you don't see me on global, then I couldn't make it. Will bring my 48 WS from ViV since I will not be on next Tuesday and should cover for missing a day.

50/50 for Friday. I will know more then. As for what, really up for anything.

[ QUOTE ]
She was the kin. She was hiding from you. And had you on ignore.

True story.

[/ QUOTE ]

Glares at the one copying Des.

Yeah, I was on my son/kin corruptor Tizianni. Got about 2 levels from 37 to 39 and a few bubs shy of 40.

Yes, agreeing with Mental. He was dup...er...right about how awesome it was.

One of the most unusual team make ups.

[ QUOTE ]

/e makes note of Penny and Mental cheating.

[/ QUOTE ]

Tempted to bring my WS now so we cheat together!

Should be able to make 930PM despite Voo's other thread about Voo.

If S/LK room, got a 37 /kin corr or one of my other 50's if not or need to S/LK another instead.

(Got on an LGTF last night with my ViV WS and got just shy of 47, so I think I am caught up on her for Tuesdays ).

Am I alone in saying I don't really have any draw to see this movie, at least in a theater?


[/ QUOTE ]

No. Same here. Probably will be an OnDemand night for us on the big HDTV, especially with a big bottle of wine in hand.

On a side note, I just loathe theaters having worked through high school and some of college at one, so I shy away from going out to movies. Sorta like some of my friends working at certain fast-food joints and will never step inside one again.

I just have a couple quick question. I know Castle had mentioned earlier (some weeks prior to today) that some powers wouldn't be available, such as SoA and Kheldian powersets... however the Massively article has this as a bulletpoint:

[ QUOTE ]
Give enemies any powers you want. (Emphasis added)

[/ QUOTE ]

Has the position stated by Castle earlier changed? Or are Kheldian powersets still unavailable for custom minions? Is there any chance, if they are NOT being included now, that they WILL be included reasonably soon in the future? One of my arc ideas necessitates access to the Warshade powersets.

(*hopes that they WILL be available!*)

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a bit misleading. You can chose 2 powersets that include almost all powersets available to players, but you can mix-match them in ways not available to players. (Ex: Fire Blast + Invulnerability ).

Not as great of a bullet point, I know. We would love to expand this system further, but we cannot by release.

[/ QUOTE ]

I couldn't find if this was answered (or asked at some point), but will these 2 powersets be modified to have ranged and melee? From what I see in the game, every mob is given at least one ranged and one melee attack to prevent players from staying at range and defeating them safely. However, some sets, say Dual Blades for example, doesn't have a ranged attack. Are there pool-like sets we choose from for a ranged attack - like shuriken from weapon mastery?

Sorry, but going to have last minute cancellation. Some friends invited my family over for some Wii action (for the boys) and some drinks (for us!). Good hunting tonight.

I have nothing in that range for XP, either too low or already 50. Will look when I get home which toon doesn't have the badge (and it might be my MM's, in that last mission ). May just decide a corr or my "redside merit toon" aka widow.

Hey all,

Slowly digging my way out of avalanche of RL activities. Not sure I can committ tonight either (not even sure there is room anymore). I hope you all have fun! Numina is a very good TF.

Paper Planes M.I.A.

LGTF has been "fixed" to 45+.

Anyhow, my son's birthday party is tonight, so will not be able to make it. Have fun!

PS - If any were on that ITF last night I started, sorry for disappearing. Due to the weather in the area, we lost power and did not get it back until closer to midnight.

Good times last night.

Going to be out next Friday hopefully catch the Friday TFs in a couple of weeks.

Okay, will be on my widow at 9 PM. Or will bring a kin def if needed to balance out. (sorry my 2 merit toons).
Catch ya then.

An ITF would be fine for me with my ViV WS who is also behind (glares at Mental ).

But up for reside too. Don't have the 2 badges from the 20's to 30 SFs on my widow. Just say the word in VF.

Thanks for the write up Sarrate.

And clarification on the Elude. Always heard as "his Elude", but didn't think it was a specific power to him.

I'll probably get better at it if I do it again, but it still is tricky.

I think that is the key. Once you find a comfortable spot, it should smooth.
