Techbot Alpha

I just realised, the Snake on the right is giving me Ray Harry Houson vibes. Medusa and all that epic

Some of us haven't even finished work on getting both Ishifts.
On our mains.

No new stuff to have to scrabble after is a nice break...

The 'VIP' servers, to my mind, are the escape for all the Elitists and down-their-nose lookers who would just alienate genuine nice players and others and stop them adding to the game.

Good riddance, I say. I'll be waiting on Union to welcome the next batch of RPers.

I already have a full blown trailer planned out...

All I require is a heap of cash and the knowledge of CGI modelling, rigging and animationg Gah.

Uber-Shivans in Galaxy, by the looks of it.
You can see the goop, floating skulls and covered in rock chunks.


Veeeery nice.

Edgey here too but, thinking about it;

1) Staying on Union for me
2) We're all subbed as we are, right now. Thats the same as VIP will be. Ergo, nothing will really be changing if we stay subbed. We may even get more benefits.

I guess we'll have to wait and see...

I lol'd :P

Stealing my thread idea, you cad!

Valkyrie;




Libby;




Sister Psyche (The green came out wrong and she needs better face and hair)




Luminary;




Also; I think Synapse, Numina and BaBs only need HD versions. Their designs are fine as is. Same with Positron and States.

You missed out;

-Shut up the damn 'dying' VG trooper in the last mission. He's clearly well enough to cycle through all his lines, loud enough to carry across the whole map. Someone get him a mediporter, please!

/Signed, /Signed, /SIGNED

And let me make mobs of just Bosses! Unique Bosses! Or EB and Bosses, etc
There are so many ace changes they could make and haven't!

For reference, here is that concept art;

Yeah, slight degredation in concept there. And couldnt she at least get some better hair? Really?

There is no 'draw' to play old stuff, especially not blueside because, except for the more recent stuff, the overwhelming majority of it is seven year old dross. Stuff that Jack built. And thats NOT a good thing.

All the best for her and the family

Amen to that!

All you need to do is look at the difference between Praetoria and Atlas park.

Atlas uses copy-paste buildings that feature in other zones. Some of them look terrible but, worse than that, they look impractical. Some of them have no windows except on one side! Some of them are wider at the top than the base! I mean, honestly? Did the person who design them even bother thinking of basic architecture?

Praetoria might be a dystopian other world, but it looks and feels like a city. Its like a high-tech version of...well, a real world city. Its great!

That level of quality should be made available in the standard game, not just for those that pay for the expansion.

@Arcana's post

If that's true, and I suspect it is, then why do it the way it is? Yes, the Alpha may be an anomaly, but it's also the anomaly that has drawn least criticism out of the two types. While, yes, alpha was originally complained about in parts (name one game system that hasn't, ever) the following slots have drawn a far heavier amount of flak. It is fairly clear, from both in-game and forum reactions that, in terms of negativity, far more is aimed towards the Trial-exclusive slots.

Now, seeing the Alpha as a 'compromise'? That may be fair enough, but the complete lack of anything solid isn't exactly helping matters. I think it's the 'compromise' nature of it that's causing the problems. Is there going to be solo/team friendly content, as a lot of people have asked for? Are people going to be able to wait and do other stuff until the type of content they are comfortable with comes out? Or will the response be 'tough nuts' as nothing comes from it? That communications disconnect is causing problems, and the 'shut up and lump it' attitude from a number of the forum base is doing nothing but fray tempers from the looks of it (not unreasonably, at least in my opinion)

I'm honestly hoping I am wrong, and that I21 will contain a massive influx of Incarnate 'worthy' content, for all walks, and prove me happily wrong. I appreciate that 20.5 is just that, a mid-issue, so I won't comment on that, other than to point out that, even with the upcoming 'Hamidon tunnels' trial that was mentioned, four trials gets incredibly old incredibly fast especially with no predictability in the reward tables. It's the sheer 'up in the air' quality of the ITrials that bugs me. I could, feasibly, have had all T4s by now. Luck has deigned it not be so, however. And there is a very limited ranges of alternatives to that, all of which result in a grind.
