I might bump Invuln down to the top of Tier 2, and Dark Armor down with EA on the bottom. But yeah, that's pretty much the jist of it. lol

Granted, I have yet to see how Elec performs with perma Energize. Has anyone been able to pull that off yet?

I'm not sure what secondary I'll go with. /Fire could be fun with an emphasis on kamikaze.... But I can't help but want to play it safe with /WP (at the risk of being a part of, what will most likely be, the new FoTM).

5 hours for an update on Tuesday? Yeah, I'm willing to bet today is the day. ^_^

Counting down...

Character level shouldn't be considering a rule. Super Side kicking pretty much fixes any need for us to even consider it. If the leader is 1 or 2, everyone else will be 1 or 2. And here's the kicker: Those who are exemped to a lower level via super side kicking will still get XP. Yes. It's an awesome system.

Go Colts!

Tuesday is good for me as well. What time again?

Nah, I don't mind. Go right ahead. I'm not a comedian so what do I care? ^_^

Was on about a half hour ago and I was having a lot of trouble. A lot more than normal. Bad rubberbanding, got mapserved while messing with some power coloring....

It's very difficult for me to hate someone. You'd have to be a massive tool in order for that to happen. Stoney, you're okay in my book.

I just tried to get on. I was able to log on just fine, but when I click on the server to get my list of characters..... there's a pause.... then a pop up messege saying I can't connect. Lame. No warning or anything?

Sounds good to me.

On test, for a little bit at least, when you had your claws out.. your running animation changed. Instead of swinging your arms like normal, your arms were extended downward as you ran. It looked pretty cool, IMO. Like it was an all-out rush to go kick some tail. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it happen in a while. I hope it wasn't just a glitch.

In any case, yeah, WP and Elec seem nice. Haven't had too much trouble with them so far. WP was a bit easier, but... well... it's WP. And Elec will, more than likely, get 2x better once I'm able to get to the level that Heal comes at.

Has anyone had a chance to take a claws brute passed... oohh...say.. level 20 yet? I'm working on 2 versions right now (/wp and /elec) and neither are above that. Just wondering what yall think of the set. ^_^

Sorry if there's already a random I16 beta screenie thread. I looked and couldn't find any. I didn't want to crop these images (and I didn't want this post to be massive), so I'm posting them as links.

Feel free to post your random I16 beta images here.

I'm looking at claws brutes pretty hard. The only question is: Will the issue be released before my subscription expires?

I've spent quite a bit of time playing the CO Open beta... and I would be fibbing if I said I wasn't interested. I really only see one aspect of CO's graphics that are horrible.... and that's the Anti Aliasing and the odd blurring effect they put on EVERYTHING when you are viewing things from a distance. It just makes everything look muddy and... well... ugly. However, if you zoom in while playing, the graphics are actually quite a bit better than CoH's. Their attention to shadows and lights particularly impressed me... and Millennium City's scale is just incredible. I can see the good in the game, and I can see it getting polished and gaining loyalty at the same level CoH has.... which is good.... because that forces CoH to step up it's game and offer interesting 'upgrades'. From what I can tell, they seem to be doing that with Going Rogue. And from what I've read... I just might have to purchase a month of gameplay for it's release. It should be very interesting.

Anyway, at this point in time.... a game has to be truly exceptional for it to take my MMO spot. Unfortunately for CO (And CoH... and a few others that I'm looking at) Aion has taken that spot.

I would also like to know the status of this. Is it considered a bug? Or has the difficulty of STF been raised as to compete with the insanity known as LRSF? lol.

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. The little icons that show under your health meter or to the side on your team window. These little buff icons show the powers that are effecting each person. Unfortunately, a LOT of powers can show up and crowd the screen. Especially in the later stages of the game. You can do things to reduce their numbers, but because of the pure number of different kinds of powers/buffs that can stack up, it doesn't feel like it's enough. It's even worse for those who supply buffs to the team individually and have to visually scan a long line of icons to see if their buffs wore off.

I think it's time we got a new option for these icons. One that allows you to only see the buffs that you provide to your teammates. So, in the icon line next to a teammates name in the team window, you will only see the icons for buffs you have given to them.

It's not really a big deal or anything. Just a quality of life suggestion, I suppose.

It could be a conditional Inherent that appears whenever a 'team' is established. It could apply a minor buff to each member that's dependent on how many members have the same origin and what origin it is. It could be called "Solidarity".

Yes. I think I like that.

Wow.... There are a lot of really good ideas just randomly popping up. Issue 16 just might restore my faith in this game. Unfortunately, it won't restore my wallet. Unless you're willing to offer me a job. lol.
