Quote:Gods: IllogicalOriginally Posted by Coyote_Seven
So is this pointing to what the "Coming Storm" is actually gonna be about? We think it's gonna be about an alien invasion, but really it's going to be about all the old gods waking up and roaming the earth and causing great havoc.
And the Rikti will be shaking their heads at us and be all like, "This is why we killed our gods a long time ago!"
Correction: Gods; Dangerous.
Belief: Power.
Power; Receiver: One being.
One being: Ultimately powerful; Dangerous...:Enemy -

Ephram Sha of the Midnight Squad has tasks befitting Incarnate-level Heroes in Dark Astoria. Help him push back the forces of Mot!
The Circle of Thorns has an interest in the dark magics swirling around Dark Astoria. It has sent Maharaj, a powerful Soul Mage, to help Incarnate Villains sow chaos in the ranks of their foes. -
Humm, saw no mention of solo/small team Incarnate stuff...? Or am I really going blind now?

I think you're probably just going to have to brace yourself for the inevitable "please make her costume items available to player characters" suggestions sooner or later.

Jesus Hank Christ on a freaking pogo stick, what are they using for these new mobs and the zone? Because DAMN ME do they look good! O_O
I...I'm stunned. I'm genuinely stunned. The first thing that occurred when I clicked on the pictures was an exclamation.

Damn...that's cool stuff.

Quote:Resistance is nice, but he benefits more from the bonus on Weave and high defence slotting than just resistance. Resistance is nice when stuff gets through.Originally Posted by Kioshi
I see your point, it's not unlike how I feel with Retsu on my /Nin Stalker (I skipped Elude on my /SR scrapper). She's already great and the crash is horrendous (especially the -recovery).
I just think that, if PBs can have a mild crash AND a perma-godmode, the others could at least get the milder crash.
I'm leveling an Invul Brute and since the max s/l res I can get from him without Incarnates and Unstoppable is 70%ish, I really want to see it a bit tweaked so that at least it doesn't retoggle me since it will benefit my Brute plenty. Your tank surely could also use the benefit of resistance to all but psi, but maybe it won't matter much to you because Tankers nowadays are extremely sturdy even on SOs, making a 'godly' invul/shields is actually cheap especially compared to a brute/scrapper (and I find it fair that Tankers have these advantages).
But, essentially, we are agreeing
the Tier 9 defence/res set powers need to be improved.

Quote:Pretty much. I tend to use char for shorthand, but I'm pretty sure I've used toon before as well. Both mean 'character' in a round about way, so...eh. It's a word.Originally Posted by Organica
Toon is easier to type. The End.
It's amazing what gets people all worked up.
And anyone insulting my intelligence had better own a pistol and be up at dawn, because we are going to dual, [Pancake]

I don't think ANY of my defensive characters that aren't Shield or WP ever take the 'godmodes' any more.
Why? Because I'd rather have my Invul Tank with Tough and Weave and being awesome ALL the time than being marginally better some of the time and then suffer a horrific burnout for it.
In about 90% of cases (for me, and i.e. more often than not) the tier 9s just don't give the bang for their buck. -

And thank Smeg they weren't! Hell freaking YES! I'm laying money on that as soon as it hits live! Can think of so many of my characters that will make use of the jeans, not to mention whatever else is in there. Suh-weeeeeet

It's not the fault of the writing department that the game is marketed terribly.

The UIs have been pants since the new 'better' market revamp. Sure, it killed off all the lag...it also mostly killed my already waning interest in the auction house.
Everything since then has just been part of the spiral... -
Quote:You've clearly never gone to other games forums. Any game, MMOs or FPS or pretty much anything.Originally Posted by Model 75
Gee, wonder why people say not to bother with the forums and their "wonderful" community.
Because this IS wonderful. Sure, you get sarcasm and arguments and the normal stuff. But this would be a 25 page flame, troll and rant war by now in any other forums. Trust me on that. -
As far as I remember, the reason Shield Charge is a clicky AoE is because making it a target-click move was impossible. Ergo, the whole idea would be impossible.
But it's late, I'm tired and I can't even remember that well. I'll let someone else supply hard fact. -
You missed them announcing it a few weeks ago, then replying to annoyed and dissatisfied comments with "But you don't know how yet!"
I think someone in the writing department needs to go back to school and learn what the damn meaning of SUSPENSE is. Not to mention SURPRISE. And NOT GIVING THE PLOT AWAY...Sheesh. -
Aww, I want to do Woot fan art now XD

Besides one of Windows blue-moon inexplicable 'Error report!' crashes which have happened since forever, and from time to time whatever the net feels like doing...not in a loooong time. No crashes I can remember, no real lag, except in stuff where everyone is (many GM events etc)

Hmn, male widows would look kind of cool with a 'high collar' around-the-shoulders kind of cape. Kind of 'Doomy Spider Inquisitor' look, y'know?

One colour technique that I was taught by someone I consider something of a master on another site (I was so damn lucky to catch one of his LiveStreams) I found incredibly useful.
All done in Photoshop, and pretty much all you need is to start with the darkest shade of the colour you want. And then use light grey and white. That's it. Set the brush to about 10% opacity and flow, 0% hardness and highlight on a new layer.
I started this picture with only base, dark colours, and then highlighted up. Sure, I used other stuff for a few things (a layer to make the hole thing darker as it went left to right, and the pen tool for the mono-wire lines) but the rest was pure grey and white;
I'll probably still mix it up a bit with other colour techniques, but it's incredibly useful on stuff like metal, hair and fur. It'd probably look even better with some other brushes, given I was only using a default brush
