    Edit: And while the skin tones all look a washed out grey-ish, just compare the white there to the tights the other Longbow members are wearing. Exact same shade. My optics might be a bit frazzled at the moment, but even I can see that.
  2. Agreed, since from a canon point of view the Midnighters were supposed to 'returning' and trying to hide the 'secret' Pillar of Ice and Flame they'd nabbed from the Menders.

    Given we now know Ramiel AND Silos both know about it, not to mention everyone and their pesky dog knowing about the club by now, it seems redundant to still have all the supposed secrecy. Not to mention having to run the arc every damn time on every character just to get to Cimerora got old the first few times, let alone the next bunch.

    So, /Signed

    Agreed. Personally, my comment wasn't aimed at the costume, but poster brainlessness

Really I think the devs need to work on other more important stuff than this. Also really, 600 points for this crap? Do not want.
    Well wow, guess what? Newsflash but, in an MMORPG some people, shock horror, like to RP!

    So, you know what? You don't like it? Don't flipping buy it. It's not rocket science. And they already had the four legged rig from the various wolf projects, so its not like it'd take ages and ages of Dev time and resources (comparatively), and certainly not enough to make much else.

    Because letting your daughter go out dressed like a ***** is being GOOD parent...
    Owait. Whether or not it is Penny, the above merits one collosal facepalm.

    I'd much rather watch that than the rather mediocre-looking lineup for the real event.
    Yes. VERY yes.

    At least the noms are for sound and visuals, which even a bitter and twisted mechanoid like myself cannot deny were pretty damn awesome.

    If they'd been for 'story' or 'acting' then, yes, I'd have been laughing my face off while mashing it into the keyboard.
  8. I'm using wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Main_Page at the moment. I can't remember what the old one I had was. But .org and .net sent me to a BT page saying the page doesn't exist, if that helps?
  9. Well, I was sceptical...

    But I had points spare from a mass buy when the points first came out. And I had a decent concept. And I *gasp* actually rolled a Controller (Earth/Sonics, Deserts Howl)

    So now there is a hyper-active texan mutant who keeps shifting from a coyote to human and back again running around. Being fun. This is fun


    Edit: I do agree the idle animations are WAY too fast, and not being able to make him /e sit or /e liedown etc is rather annoying. But oh well.
  10. Ok, seems I forgot/mis-interpreted the patch notes. I thought this barred you from doing the 'complete while doing the missions in tandem' route.

    So, not quite as dire as I thought. This is what I get for posting at 3am...

    I dislike this change too, and I believe a few have voiced concerns in the "Bug" forums.
    Checked back 4 pages there and seen nothing. If they have been, they've been awful quiet about it.

    So, this little gem is from the I22 VIP Beta notes. What it effectively means is that, instead of being able to grab a team of friends, channel folk or randoms who need the badge for access to Cimerora, you now have to run the mission once per character who needs it.
    I.E. you have eight characters on a team who do not have the Midnighter intro badge that gives access to the club. You will have to run that arc eight times, once with ever person as the mission owner.


    This is not a welcome change. This is a time sink of the needless and questionable variety. There is no apparent logic to the change, even less so than the continued need for the arc to gain access to Cimerora. Given Menders Ramiel and Silos both KNOW of the Midnighters 'secret' Pillar of Ice and Flame, it renders the whole 'secret induction' rather moot.

    Some people have said this access nerf is already on live, and that it's been discussed. Having not seen any threads about it so far, I thought I'd bring this up while there's still time to mention how this is a really bad idea that is only going to frustrate the players and make them hate Monty's arc more than they already do.


    Dev's, please see a little reason and leave the arc and badge alone. Pointless time sinks and needless re-runs are not cool. That should be common knowledge by now.

    Will also make PVP have some sense again.
    No, no, NO, no, dear god NO!

    Even IF PvP wasn't a broken and tangled mess like it is now, that just...no.
  15. My pet hate? PuG DfB trials, which I picked up again due to rolling some new lowbies.

    Every time, and I mean EVERY time so far, has gone thus;

    "Hey guys, we're going to go for the badges, pretty simple, on the Vahz boss don't use any AoEs, the boss has to die before the minions. Then just reverse that for the Lost guy."
    -Run up to Vahz AV-

  17. Nemesis. I am sick, sick, SICK of those [Pancake] Lieutenants and their multi-stacking vengeance. For a 'Prussian Prince of Automatons' he doesnt have that impressive array of actual automatons. Automaton Lts and Human Bosses are badly needed.

    Warriors do indeed suck for distinction. Longbow DEFINITELY need more LTs.

    Because any States replacement can't be a selfish [Pancake]!
  20. Yeah, someone really needs to find alternate ways of writing story stuff for co-op OTHER than 'for the greater smegging good'. I too am getting a little sick of that.

    Even if it's something as simple as not arresting Wade but hauling his ***** *** back to the base, smacking the ever loving [pancake] out of him and then performing experiments to tear all that power he took out for personal use. THAT'S what a villain would do.

    Bet we won't be allowed though. *SIGH*

    Standard code rant applies.

    I don't know the complexity of having a whole 'Resistance style Heavy Autcannon' set, but I still want it.
    I also want a Blast/Armour AT. And a Rikti AT, or body type. And Animal heads with all the details.

    That DOESN'T change the fact that it's MORE likely that this sort of stuff won't happen without overwhelming player support AND approval of Dev team time. It's called REALISM versus IwantIwant.
