    -in your opinion.

    To me, the new tutorial feels about as un-epic as...well, exactly what it is; Everyone else doing all the Heroing and me being some sideline watcher.

    In the start? BaBs and Psyche are single handedly holding back the Shivans. No sweat. Giant Shivan fight? Always gets dive-bombed by Vanguard jets and one shotted.

    Terrain? Boring rubble that would be worthy of Boomtown. Glance of the Galaxy Girl statue? For about a split second.

    The new tutorial is grating on me more and more every time I look at the damn thing. If you're going to hype something, at least make said something GOOD!

  4. All people have to pay for Premium sets. Beam, StJ and Titan are all designated Premium.

    In future, there will be non-premium sets, like Time, that VIPs get for free.

    Let's put this simply; You want moar stuff. Paragon need moar money to make moar stuff. And you are whining about giving them money for cool stuff so that they can make MOAR cool stuff...

    QUIT YO JIBBER JABBER, FOOL!

    Beam Rifle?

    I'm pretty sure the set is called Beam Gun on Beta at character creation..?

    Beam Rifle?

    To be fair, thats ONLY the Tier 9 in those shots. The standard attacks look a lot more laser-like, especially when coloured the same colour, rather than lighter/darker two-tone.

    Put it this way, I don't notice it when actually playing from a normal view

    Beam Rifle?

    will snag a screenie when I go back on later
  8. The whole salvage window needs tidying up.

    But apparently it's more important to screw up the email window and make the CC a horribad mess instead...*eyeroll*
  9. Techbot Alpha

    Beam Rifle?

    Hmmn. I never noticed it looking like that.

    Probably because I coloured my beam (yes, you can customise the gun AND the beam) both bright blue. So...it looks pretty darn laser-like to me, to the point thats the first time it's seemed like that to me in that vid.

    Given they are likely hosted on two entirely separate server banks? I wouldn't have thought so, no.

    I'm betting this downtime is related to the fact that I would try to zone into a door mish and the game would never load the map. This went of for nearly 2 hours of my repeatedly trying different things. At best, I would leave it for 5-10 minutes and would be kicked out to the city area again with an error message that the map failed to load (duh). More often the game simply froze at the map loading screen and I would be forced to task manager out of it. What the Fudge!??!

    I'd have been much happier continuing with I20.0 until it was as stable as most previous releases have been. Add to these issues the fact this is a 2XP weekend and it becomes completely unacceptable. NC needs to step up and offer a make-up 2XP weekend so that players can actually enjoy it for what it's supposed to be rather than dealing with constant down time and crashes. I know NC did it once before a few years back because of massive issues during a 2XP weekned. Hopefully they'll step up this time as well.
    So, you're angry that it's broken...

    And angry at the Devs trying to fix it.


    Riiiight. Whatever you are smoking, I want some.

    Seriously, people, get some freaking perspective here will you? I mean, they CLEARLY can't be taking the servers down because, oh, I dunno, maybe there's something making the game unplayable for people?

    Oh, wait, common sense is forbidden here, my mistake. Carry on!

  13. Akiko Kiyzama is getting re-rolled from MA/SR to the much more fun StJ/WP. SR is such a 'feh' set to play, and MA is end hungry and...lacks oomph. Decent damage, sure, but...eh. I dunno.

    Street Justice, though? Ticks all the boxes. AND looks decent too, even like a free-form Martial art that suits Akiko perfectly.

    Oh, and my Sonics Fender is getting a Sonic/Beam Gun re-roll. Because I god-damn LOVE that set.

    Jesus. Learn some respect/patience.
    Ah, good, someone said it for me.

    Pogo-sticking christ, you lot never fail to amaze me. Seriously.

  16. Feedback;

    Need less of the pattern. It's a tad overkill. Give them some flat space.

    Colours; they need points of interest, a third colour to break up the two-tone (which doesnt work too well, btw)

    Get rid of the pink gems. Seriously. Pink? Dark red, fine, purple, fine. Pink? Heck no.

    And yes, still a tad too spiky.

    BUT...much better than they were at first glance.

    If this trend keeps up, then in 2017 peacebringers will get something that's as good as extracted essence! Quickly, to your forum battlestations, this cannot stand unopposed!
    I lol'd.
    But I also agreed
  18. I can safely validate that 'Stay' and 'GoTo' are as much use as a chocolate kettle.
    On the surface of the sun.

    Only in Passive does it actually work. Otherwise? Ho to melee range and Brawl, even for robots!
    *SIGH*
  19. Bah, hate the hand clap animation ¬¬

    Still...nice changes. Me likey.

  23. I think (hope) that was Nitro's deadpan humour/snark being betrayed by the text based medium =P
  24. Oddly, I liked the first version of that posted. The darker lines gave it some really nice contrast. The later versions become a little...blurred together, y'know? There's no dark/light contrast.

    Still, nice work, keep it up DeeDee =]
  25. Oo, good point, need to port Alpha over to Beta *does so*
