  1. Goodly mornin'. *noms his McD's hashbrown*
  2. No APP's for villains with I16. Aside from the power colouring there's the super sidekicking, hazard zone level restriction removal, AE bludgeoning (yay!), costume display in the login screen change... Lots there, mostly QoL. Honestly I love it, just wish more people were around and that I wasn't going to be taking a month off for Aion.
  3. Apparently the card can support things like Doom3 and WoW. It might support CoX and Guild Wars. I predict some GW action for that week, and movies/books at work when things are slow (the whole 12 hours).
  4. So it sounds like I'll be working 12 hours shifts for 7 days starting Sept 25th through Oct 2nd, including the weekend. Ideally I'll be staying at a hotel on the clients dime but it really puts a crimp in my life. That's 2 Friday's that are shot to bits (2 D&D 4E sessions as well as fringe benefits), and all I'll have with me is my work laptop which is meant for games... seriously. The video card is... uhm... nVidia Quadro NVS 320M. So sub par in most respects. Dang.

That and the fact that as she absorbs kinetic energy through being hit or hitting, she gets more hyperactive. She doesn't have a 'Rage' meter... she has a 'Spazz' meter, like a four year old on a sugar rush.

    So cotton-candy pink energy punches are appropriate for her.
    ROFL! Cute. I like it.
  6. Then I grabbed my 39 ill/ff troller and hoped into a team in PI. Apparently there are zones outside of Atlas. Who knew!? Also, what's this invenshun salvagay? Did that just go in with Issue 16?

Also switched a few of the SS punches around, just for variety....then went to Victory and logged on to my much ignored Banana/Regen scrapper and made him not look utterly lame ...now has black and red poison spikes that match his tattoos
    I left invuln alone on both my invuln tank and invuln brute. I'm okay with how it looks in both cases. I did change my energy melee to be black with red highlights. After recolouring my rad/pain, it kind of looked like rad melee.

    Can anybody confirm the way a TF works? Do you keep powers up to +5 your level (which would make a Positron TF actually not that bad)
    That's how it worked on test yeah. So you'd be level 15 on Posi, but still have your powers for 16, 18 and 20. That of course means you have set bonuses for those powers as well.
  9. Oh yeah. I need to respec my claws/sr scrapper and remove conserve power for Perfect Body.

  11. Couldn't change everything to the way I wanted it, but most things I changed.
    My villains now have blue/cyan electricity.
    Changed rad blast to match Pain.
    Made my bubbles and pets all double white for my ill/ff troller.
    Made the /wp on my new claws/wp brute the same blue as her costume highlights.
    Made the earth on my earth/earth dom look like cracked and baked toxic stone (a la Blight).
    Made my stone melee on a tank and brute look like gemstone Onyx and Ruby repectively.

    That's about it.

    So pumped for Aion. *GLEE!*
  12. My only complaint about I16 is that I can't make my ice red. I wanted a blue fire, red ice blaster. Oh well. If that's all I can complain about then the dev's and their support staff went above, beyond and possibly transdimensional.
  13. 57 month vet reward is looking pretty damn sweet now huh kids? 50% off all tailor costs all the time! HA!

    The free tokens should be coming the same time as the frespec tokens.
  14. It's a dangerous site for anyone! I've lost time there.

    Neko, bad week for me. I enver got to post about the static group. Can anyone make it tonight or are we just wasting our time tonight? I will post on the forums looking for more people this week.
    Depending if todays patch is I16 or not I might be around. Still crazy tired and last night that meant bed by 7pm and 11 hours sleep.

    Except for this week, and after Hell's Kitchen is over (since it's not on tonight), I will not be available on Tuesdays. If we want to do something this Tuesday, I'll need to see. I might get off class early this afternoon (since it's a lab)
    See above

    I think Pogo was asking about the CoH static team Rad, not DDO.
    Pft. Well screw that then

So I'm not running it. I'll show up whenever to play, but trying to run a static team will just make me want to uninstall the game and never return again.
    I feel your pain. One reason I like Vent and IM's. Once people have the game it's relatively easy to throw together an impromptu session since you can tell when they're around.

    Thank Jeebus I don't do Console gaming too
  20. It was indeed. I'll be rolling with Crimson Revenge. Not sure of my names yet but I'll post them once I have them on Friday.

    Out of curiosity what servers have you picked? I went with what the people in the Aion group suggested for open beta. Israphel for Elyos characters and Nezeken for Asmodeans. The global chat on both servers was... horrid. But from what I had head, it was pretty much the same on every server. Every internet comedian grabbed a free open beta trial and went to down spewing their garbage constantly. That and constant requests to find the same two quest items, no matter how many times the question was answered. (At least for the Elyos).

    I'm not really tied to those servers, but it might be a good idea to have one east and one west coast server (like those two are). That way, if one server location goes down I can still play. After all, this is NCSoft. They love doing that with City of...
    The creation and naming of the 2 characters they're letting us have will take me 2-3 hours anyway

    As for server, I'm going in with my guild from WAR and we're on what was voted the unofficial RP server of Lumiel. We'll be fighting for the Asmodae against the nancy-boy sissies of the Elyos. Sersiously, have you SEEN the Elyos metrosexual scouts and assassins? Or ANY Elyos man-dance. It's.... it's embarassing. For that reason alone we must smash them from the skies and destroy their broken tower base before it destroys us all.

    I'll be rolling an Eyos or two on the other coast as well for similar reasons.
  22. Hrm. Servers down for extended maintenance... It had better just be a pre-patch. Aion starts Friday for me...
  23. San Andrea: Earth/Earth Dom.

    Talsorian: Claws/WP Brute.

    Names reserved a month ago, costumes created at the same time.
