Anyone else? |
Yeah the wife tried to get the post download twice, no go. I logged out without even knowing there would be one and tada, download.

I had one computer get the pre-download after the first time I logged into the game yesterday. I played the game for a while on another computer and didn't get the pre-download. *shrugs*|

It almost seems like instead of having a 100% chance of getting the pre-download the game imposes some kind of random chance to start the pre-download or not. Or maybe there's a limit of only one pre-download per account per day or some-such.
I'm not really worried about it one way or the other, but it does seem weird that it seems to be a hit-or-miss thing sometimes.

I'd guess that any hefty patch is likely to be new cossie pieces for whatever booster is coming up (Animals, is it?)

All they are doing is adding certain rewards for running selected TFs. These aren't huge changes to the game that would require extensive testing, it's more or less "Are the rewards rewarding properly?" Yes... "are the new boosts performing properly." Yes... Testing complete. Though honestly my money is next tuesday, after double xp weekend we will have the strike pack. |
I couldn't see it anywhere on the patch notes, but I logged onto my radiation blaster last night and noticed X-Ray Beam has a new 'freeeeeem' from fists animation!
Was this new or have a been blind for a while?

Guy there's a massive sticky thread dedicated entirely to costume requests. Anytime, all the time. You don't need to wait for an announcement to suggest something.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I'm not positive if it's new or not but it doesn't sound familiar to me. Seems surprising that they wouldn't mention new power customizations in the patch notes. I smell another potential patch leak with this. |

Looks kind of goofy since it still uses the eye beam emanation.

It appears to have replaced the 'leaning forward' eye beam animation.

It hasn't for me. I tried X-Ray Beam eyes on all three models, both on the ground and from the air, and all three play the same old original animation. I did not try the "new" animation, however. Is that what changed?

Sounds like it but I'm just going by what's been said here in the thread. I'll have to wait to get home to look at it myself. Again with the name of "Freeeem" this sounds "incarnate-ish" to me somehow.

heres a pic of the 2 that are on live now.
It appears that the new animation for X-Ray Beam eyes has indeed been replaced by an even newer one, and this time an animation that's not a copy of the old one.
The new animation for Cosmic Burst has also been replaced, it seems.

I've been going through trying to see if any other were changed and have realized I'm not familiar enough with them to know. Some of the ones in psy blast and sonic seem different but I can't tell. Also something appears to be wrong with Amplify, the original animation isn't available for color changing and the new animation doesn't seem to be effected by the color picked and the dark version is the same as the bright version.
Well, if we are looking for trivial changes:
"Defeat Lady Winter" now displays waypoint markers.
I really should do something about this signature.
