  1. I think I lost more Traveller characters to the creation process than I ever did to actual play.

    Tickets

    Just a side note. Don't worry, it is on topic.

    Am I the only person who sees tickets as a great way to get DO's and SO's for characters? Particularly at those cash strapped, mid-teen levels?

    I'm not much of a marketeer. For me, the market is a place to turn salvage I can't use into infuence/infamy that I can use. Tickets give me a great alternative bit of financing.
    Even with ticket rates as they are now, I can run one or two AE missions and have enough tickets to pick up most of the enhancements I need at low to mid levels.

    Oh, well, there's room for everyone in Paragon.

    Alien card trick

    BaB's did list that as a known issue with an upcoming fix. It's something about the scales being off for female models. It keeps trying to apply the scales for male models and that throws the whole thing off. On a side note, the animations for all the juggles are a little off too. The balls are sitting on the back of the hand when the animation starts. That's supposed to be in the fix as well.


    But...the "jitter" on WW, mission, and base Teleports seems to have been cleared up in the last few days.

    Ah well, there's always something when a new issue goes live.

    New to game

    Welcome aboard.

    We're a pretty friendly bunch around here so feel free to ask questions.

    Possibly the only cardinal rule around here is "There's no ONE BEST WAY to play this game." There's a lot to do and something for just about everyone.

    Remember, you're here to have fun. If you're not having fun, you might want to try it another way.

    (yes, I just completely bs'ed that)


    And I almost thought the prophet's words had come true. And lo we were all gone to the Americans.
  6. We get issue 16 and a new Samuraiko vid for it as well. Now that goes a long way to making the world a little bit of a better place.


    Thank you D_R for the work. Wonderful as always.
  7. But...but...golems... they're robots...right?

    Well, with a few exceptions, robot guardians were not a usual concern in the typical D&D game. A golem or two perhaps, the infamous trapper/piercer/lurker above combination, maybe, but robots...nah not often.

    What Colors....

    I finally have the green "mage bolts" I've wanted for my magic origin nrg/psi blaster. Other characters have their FFs altered, and my Rad corruptor finally, FINALLY, has "invisible" radiation attacks.

    I might color code attacks for some of my other characters and some of those green auras for heals might go to gold....

    still working on it.

    Level Indicator

Long as there's a gentle fade it shouldn't be visually distracted.
    That's not a bad idea. I think I could get behind that.

    Level Indicator

    Maybe include level in a mouseover of the XP bar instead of in the circle?

    Morning all

    Midnight Madness????

    Was that the scavenger hunt film with David Naughton? Or am I thinking of another obscure early 80's film?

    (Edit: Dear gods, I was right. it is. The miracle of IMDB)

    Welcome to Protector, we're an odd bunch but mostly we get along.
  14. OK good to know. thanks SG
  15. Well, true, but a "nuclear strike option" was a bit extreme don't you think?

    If there aren't a few days of odd happenings after an issue release then it probably wasn't worth the trouble.
  16. Just noticed my own spelling. Gah, this is why people should not forum early in the morning.

    Thanks gang.

  18. Not sure its lag since it I had someone else asking in game about it but I hadn't thought about the AE server being down. That seems like the most likely option. Also, just a thought, maybe the server is down wile they scan for newly invalidated arcs?

    Eh, no big deal, it'll be up again once whatever it is gets sorted. Just checking to see if what's left of my mind had gone missing.
  19. I went into the AE buildings in Cap and PO this morning and there were no missions available. Completely blank. No Dev choice, no nothing. I can still pull up the list of missions that I'm building but nothing else.

    I've already sent in a bug report on it, but I'm just wondering if anyone else is seeing this.
  20. Well, there is the other conspiracy theory (blah-blah-blah) that GR will make defenders obsolete. Maybe this is a way to keep them around?

    Just a thought.
  21. Just put my new Son/AR defender together. I've always thought Defenders should have guns. Somehow, it just sounds right.


    Now, as soon as they get twin pistols in place, all will be well.
  22. Hm, I think I go first for John Byrne of X-men, Alpha Flight, Superman and others. I've always liked his style.
