I like the new KoB, but not the new Fist Stomp. *shrug* Variety is good.

I've never been interested in MA/ so new animations don't interest me.

I can't wait to roll my new Earth/Stone Dom though, and Claws/WP Brute.

I still maintain that rewards need to be removed from AE missions aside from a token mission completion reward.

It was intended to be used to tell stories. With no rewards it would actually be used for it's purpose.

Argh. Busy busy with XenServer and such today.

Moo.

That's what she said.

Back to work...

On a somewhat unrelated note, I just want to take a second to thank you guys for being so positive and excited about this feature that's consumed so much of my life for so long. It's been a very long haul and tremendous amount of work from many people on the team. Your excitement about this feature is making it so much easier for me to continue to be excited about it, and that's making it a lot nicer to get through the final stretches of finishing this issue up and into your hands. I can't speak for the other people who've done a tremendous amount of work on this feature as well, but for me personally...it's a huge deal.

The handful of non-glowing responses I've seen have been very reasonable and more in the realm of disappointed but still understanding. For that I'm exceedingly grateful.

So thanks for staying positive and constructive, it makes reading the forums so much easier and working on this game so much more rewarding.

Hey, you folks are awesomesauce and deserve, at least, respect for giving us nothing but what we've been whining for for the last few issues.

Kudos all Devs & Dev support staff.

Brute. I'll have 7 once I16 hits.

Ah good. I see we have the machine that goes PING!

*PING!*

Excellent.

*beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..............*

but other than that they were able to directly port everything over or at least pull powers and visuals from existing powersets.

Then I really don't get earth assault for doms. I know we have the melee attacks from stone melee... but where are the stone blasts coming from?

Or are they using the same animations as other blasts with new particles, which you don't consider different animations?

Earth Assault is a special case.

When Sunstorm first started, we gave him some training (read: shackled him to the desk and forced him to look at spreadsheets) and gave him a bunch of bugs to fix to learn the systems.

Fixing Bugs doesn't teach everything, though, so he put together Earth Assault as a set to experiment with and learn the ropes. Eventually, he got it into shape and it turned out to be quite a fun set. We wrote it up as a full proposal for the next round of proliferation, since all the work had already been done...and, here we are.

[/ QUOTE ]
Lol. The Shackles I didn't mind, but the IV's were obnoxious.

No "Eventually" about it, I was play testing it after the first round of proliferation and have been waiting anxiously till I can build one on the live servers. Never played a more "tankish" feeling dominator, despite it having no armors.

Some very good guesses here on the powers, but Earth Assault will be a very melee heavy set. Also opted for the regular Hurl boulder Animation, since the Propel Boulder animation uses the full 3.5 second long propel animation. Now I may be a huge fan of propel for my grav doms/Trollers, but the thought of having 2 versions of it didn't seem too fun.

I already snagged San Andrea on Virtue just for a Earth^2 dom.

Did you know that the words "Happy Monday" are statistically likely to provoke random violence?

*STABS Extor*

I do now.

Moo.

/e heals Extor too.

GoDaddy used to be pretty good. I don't recommend them now though. Since they started advertising their service and reliability has gone way down. I think the advertising was the first action of new management.

Lots of places out there. Just make sure they also have the redirection service unless you're redirecting to a static IP (in which case you just need a DNS record on the intertubez).

[ QUOTE ]
Good morning all new arrivals! Does any one know anything abour URL purchasing? how does one do it and make it re-direct to an existing url? I'm thinking if it's not too expensive I'll wrangle one for my guidl ^_^

Also, we seem to be out of donuts :<

I own bpphantom.net
I just buy it though Deerfield, since they also have the redirector I use.

So without Goggle: Who were the people on Apollo 12?

Aaaah. That's better (for me anyway)

Quick! New page!

Claws/WP Brute planned. Name: Talsorian

Stone/Stone Dom planned. Name: San Andrea

I also snagged "Nasty Piece of Work" and Mauser Mouse

Moo's gleefully in the corner.

I am quite pleased with the two names I reserved for I16 last night. Giggity.

Blackberry. Professional. Thank you.

No. The Return of the 5th is awesome!

Semi-related: Castle, can you at least confirm or deny that the list shown on the site (Rad Blast for Blasters, etc) is comprehensive? Is it just a 'these are some of' list, or is that all the ones being ported? Just to direct the speculation from here, so we don't get several months of "But there could be more!" if there isn't going to be.

[/ QUOTE ]

If it is the same list I saw last week, and I am 99% certain it is, then it contains everything being proliferated in I16.

[/ QUOTE ]

You guys can probably blame me for these sets. I specifically asked them to proliferate sets that wouldn't require new animations or VFX, as we're already swamped with supporting power customization. We had to make one new animation for Broadsword Stalkers, but other than that they were able to directly port everything over or at least pull powers and visuals from existing powersets.

[/ QUOTE ]

No problem. I am giddy for some of the changes. I've already reserved Talsorian and San Andrea

I've been informed that my memory is awful and that it was Pohsyb's idea...So, um, yeah. He's the bestest dev evah!

My apologies for the mistake! (Is that enough? Back into your box now! Go!)

Well we knew pohsyb was awesome already.
