  1. The Game Accounts area on the PlayNC.com website links incorrectly to the old Veteran Rewards pages for all the months listed, including the Veteran Rewards overview page:

  2. Heheh, I guess they do read this thread. The errors I pointed out previously have been fixed!

    Also: Since I haven't said it yet, I love the site redesign. I really love how the background image gives a sense of wide open space. Now if only the game would be optimized further so I could play on /vis_scale 4 with good framerate.
  3. From which perspective are the Signature Villains and Heroes supposed to be told from? There are a lot of "I"s from Ghost Widow and down on the list for Villains. Seems like from someone that is gathering information on them, but then the all of the Heroes and Lord Recluse don't seem to feature that same sort of narrating style.

    Just a little nit pick on the consistency of the Signature Hero/Villains pages.

    Typo in the Black Scorpion page:

    It wasn't long after that Back Scorpion encountered another mercenary who was equally fascinated with quot;upgrades." This woman called herself Silver Mantis.

    On the same page:

    She is a Stalker, and has somehow gained control over the metal spikes that are screwed into her bones.

    [/ QUOTE ][u]She[u] should probably be changed to [u]Silver Mantis[u]. Not good to start a new paragraph that way, especially since the previous one is talking about Black Scorpion.
  4. No issues reading the text here. On either 1600x1200 or 1280x1024 resolutions.

  6. Going all out Tech!

    Screenshot of tech sword, shield, and A.C.C.A.H.U.D.

    I. Am. Dying. To. Play. With. Shields!

    I love the new shields! Especially the Tribal one. Now I have another excuse to make a */Shield Scrapper... Dark Melee/Shield it is!

    Updated Shadow Knight

    Got a better matching shield for my Shadow Knight.

    Tech Shield

    This shield has a soft glow fade in and out. Another keeper!
  8. Most likely the Talsorian Shield will be a merit purchased item. just like the other Talsorian items.

    Why don't you folks just download the video? No buffering at all when it is on your computer.

    I thought a Shield Bash was out? I saw it in the video. Was I mistaken?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That's probably Shield's version of Brawl so you don't have to redraw if you have a weapon.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I was really hoping that a shield bash would be the brawl. This would make me really happy if it were true.

    Yes. The only sets that cannot be used with Shields are those with a 'weapon' in or on the left hand. For practical purposes this would be Dual Blades, Katana, Claws, & Spines.

    Sets like Super Strength, Martial Arts, Energy Melee, Dark melee, etc have alternative animations that range from being as simple as adjusting the left arm to completely re-animating the power. Stone Melee's Stone Mallet powers use some of the one handed animations of Battle Axe and War Mace.

    What about Shadow Maul? That uses both hands.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Shadow maul doesn't have "a weapon in or on the left hand", so I assume it falls under the "have alternative animations that range from being as simple as adjusting the left arm to completely re-animating the power" clause.

    Everybody keeps on repeating each other.
  12. The game won't dump a screenshot file from the character creator, so you'll have to print screen what you'd like to snapshot and use an external program such as Photoshop/Paint/Etc.
  13. Not being able to see what a Shield Defense Scrapper looks like without their weapon and shield drawn was bugging me. So I photochopped one together.

    Wait... does that mean that tankers who are /stone but not shield/ will have their animations adjusted as well? Or are they ONLY changed when using the shield powerset?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Only those with Shield Defense will have modified animations.

    Stone shields look heavy....SB please

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Good riddance to that... and looking like a giant stack of rocks too.
  16. EternalGreen loves short shorts!

    Also: Happy birthday!
  17. My guess is that Shadow Maul was given a new or revamped animation for people that pick Shield Defense.

    ... yeah, what the undead guy said.

  19. Oooh, neat idea for Sun and Moon! I might have to try my hand at a light and dark character.

    Hahah, thanks! It's one of my favorites. I'm thinking she'd be Super Strength/Shield Defense.
  20. Heh heh. Street Sweeping is being brought back with style!

  21. Ohhh, I forgot about making a Stone character.

    Stone Guard

    Wish they would give the option to have the leaves on the Gloves/Legs/Boots Stone textures.
  22. BAB said something about making a police baton for War Mace. If they were to proliferate that set over to Scrappers I'd make one in an instant!
