Im sure times are rough for everyone what makes him so special? Why doesnt he ask LS for a time card heck he went with him to the other server.

[/ QUOTE ]

Elf was simply asking anyone who was interested in donating to a needing friend.... Artic is special to him cuz he's his friend, and thats what friends do

[/ QUOTE ]
Rather decent of him. Elf may occasionally be a bit silly, but he's always been supportive of the game and its players.
(If i had any time cards i'd consider donating one, but i'm not even sure where i'd find one in my area.)


Also: HBD Phire.

That's why most of us have pockets, be they harnesses, belt pouches, in our clothing or extradimensional.

Ah, okay. i had a feeling it was something like that, but the page's description wasn't clear to me. i wasn't thinking, and all the RSS feeds i've used had the same icon.

Ah, so how would i use it properly with Firefox? i've added other XML feeds before (6 so far), but those were more... automated i guess.

On the Server Status page it says "The server status will update automatically, therefore there is no need to refresh this page. An XML feed of the server-status has also been provided and can be linked to using the icon located at the bottom of the page."

When i click on the icon i get:

The idea of making the power a low end cost toggle, though, is a darn good one.

[/ QUOTE ]It also, at last check, can't work. You apply the toggle, the entity phases out, they can't be affected by the toggle, they phase back in.

[/ QUOTE ]
The last time i recall the Devs saying that was also before phased targets were given the ability to attack each other in PvP. Even before that Police/Arachnos Drone, Hamidon and Mitochondria blasts had the ability to affect phased targets. IIRC, debuff toggles placed on enemies continue running when they phase even though they stop having an effect on the anchor. It may be possible now to have a toggle continue to affect phased targets. Since i'm not a Dev i can't say for sure.

im disappointed that the writers thought so little of us

No, i'm pretty sure they were thinking of us.

Question:

What if someone wants to get at player-made missions right at Level 1? Especially redside, where just getting from Fort Darwin to the Port Oakes ferry would be nearly impossible for a Level 1 character. Well, probably excepting Stalkers, of course.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah, any villain can do it. i just consider row versus wade. A bit slow and tedious, but it's easy at level 1 to reach the ferry, albeit soggy. Or i could spend 15-20 minutes killing stuff around the fort to get a couple levels and then just run through most of the island.

It looks like something that would usually belong in Archetypes and Powers General Discussion or Suggestions and Ideas. The sets themselves... i don't hate the idea, but it doesn't particularly resonate with me either.

Resonate, hmmmm. Well this would open the door to Sonic/Earth Stalkers. (Not that i really feel there's a strong need for those, just an observation.)

Hrmm, long time gone. Was a good SG name, entertaining. Remember seeing some LMC members at the old Hami raids.

When did LMC go?

Change in I14:

The Blue Mitos chain fear/damage attack doesn't expire as long there's somebody close enough and in line of sight to an "infected" person. Even if there are no Blues around or even if you aren't even in the same *zone* (we brought it back tonight to TI for laughs and giggles), the infection will keep going as long as there's at least one target to chain too.

If an infected person makes it back to the Safe Rock after the evac you'll have a mess on your hands until you can herd the infected cats off the rock and away from everybody else.

This makes Shadow Fall *much* more important than before and it'll also be important for Emps and others with a Fear prot buff to keep it up on as many teammates as possible even after the all the Blues are down.

Not sure if this a bug or "working as intended" but I filed a bug report on it in any event.

[/ QUOTE ]

i filed a bug report on it as well. When the electrolytic blast was jumping off my controller in TI i kept trying to get it to chain to the tram police drone near Luminary. That worked part of the time, but it wasn't fun for the lower level characters going there to level. i would've preferred to keep it on the dirt mound, but it was dragged over to the tram by some oblivious imps before i grab it back.

The WTF?! moments for a bunch of people in TI were amusing. A bouncing attack that can be carried across zones to sic on other players is almost certainly not working as intended. At least we didn't take it to AP...

I'm glad to see a positive response to the pack. The high collar cape & hood from the 2nd pic, is also available for the female. Enjoy!

It would be the first time ever that there wasn't additional content in an expansion beyond what was first announced, so i'm going by the previous 13 issues.

[/ QUOTE ]
This would also be the 1st time ever they announced an issue, just to backtrack and split it in 2.

Youre additional content was i13.

[/ QUOTE ]

It also depends on what you mean by content. More missions, contacts, story arcs, strike forces, enemy types, archetypes, enhancements, powers, costume pieces, some of that or all of that plus more?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
It'd just be nice if they'd reveal a bit of the non-MA content

[/ QUOTE ]
What makes you think there is any?

Magic Hate Ball says: Outlook good.

An additional in-game currency type doesn't really bother me, but then i deal with mutliple types of real life currency that work in a similar manner. As do many people, if you think about it. (Frequent flyer miles, currency earned in an MMO, reward/discount points at supermarkets, X-Box points, etcetera.)

Let me try again: Is the whole Mission Architect a big virtual reality?

[/ QUOTE ]

How about this: Crey and Dr. Aeon claim it is. [u]Crey[u] and [u]Dr. Aeon[u].

That leaves script openings big enough to drive Adamastor through.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which is business as usual, and the best way it could be. (It probably turns out that all arcades have massive boilers in the basement that seem to run to more than just a heating system as well. )

So far this sounds far more awesome than i had expected. Even what i've seen and read of the interface is is better than i'd hoped.

i've definitely got some story and mission ideas i can't wait to try. At least one will be an homage to P K Dick's writing inspired by novels of his like [u]VALIS[u], [u]Ubik[u] and [u]The Man in the High Castle[u] that play with the conceptual and philosophical implications of Architect arcades being more than just fancy holograms...

(new) Mission: Players and all enemies within Line of Sight are auto-killed when the player enters the villain version of "Defeat source of Shivan attacks"."


This also happens Villain version too.

I also had this happen in the third mission of the Mender Tessact oro tf.

[/ QUOTE ]
Schwa?


Anyway, i had something similar happen when doing the Cavern of Transcendence trial a couple weeks ago. The whole team zoned into the map at the same time and when the loading screen cleared several teammates were dead and the rest of the team was down to 5% health or so. There were no enemies in sight, living or dead. Several of us filed bug reports at the time.

Its becoming increasingly clear that 50 is as high as we are getting in this game and as such we need to find things for our 50's to do.

[/ QUOTE ]Actually it's been explicitly stated by the Devs that 50 is as high as the game will ever go. Nothing increasingly clear about it, it was directly stated several months ago that raising the level cap past 50 will not work with the current powers slotting/leveling system. That does not rule out secondary methods of progression, much like day jobs, exotic IO's, vet rewards and the like have extended capabilities, but the Devs have not given any indication that anything of the sort is in development for 50's, so level 50 is it for now.

Still, there has been more stuff for 50's to do with every update, and a bunch of new content for the existing upper levels makes more sense than having to create new systems and scaling to accommodate adding more levels. Still hoping for a shiny new zone for i15. (Moonbase! Moonbase! MOONBASE!)

"Time is out of joint, oh cursed spite,
that I was ever born to set it right."

Great as usual.

QOL suggestion: The shapeshift animations are a bit slow and clunky. Speed them up a bit and get rid of the screen shaking.

i'd agree with this, but then what would i do if half of my PB's Build Up wasn't spent shifting?

Pulsar is a lot like Flash. I mean, if Mr and Mrs Pulsar were talking about how miraculous their little bundle of joy was, I'd be checking to see what Mr Flash was doing a few months earlier.

[/ QUOTE ]
Major difference being stun versus hold, and mag 2 versus mag 3, but I did think of Flash when I put that in the list.

[/ QUOTE ]Oddly enough, i thought Pulsar was basically a clone of Storm Summoning's Thunderclap. Was i wrong?

I killed [u]time[u] in PvP.

<QR> Has anyone noticed if any of the procs that currently do nothing at all on live are working in i13?

For example, does the [Triumphant Insult: Chance to do nothing] proc actually inflict a stun now?
