    Oi, I have a balanced M-F mix in my list, I'll have you know

    It's just I'd been planning on making the char female, and I dislike having concepts screwed over by things outside my control
  2. Happy with WP/SS Tanker.
    Now I just need to get over the fact the wolf head sits way, way too far down the neck...and I can't make the char female because I simply cannot get past how hideous the wolf form looked thanks to the wacky digitgrade legs sigh...
  3. So, wait, today is the last day for Pure league too? Al's done all his fights, but Von Schaden's been missing opponents for a while now (I think two have actually dropped out)

    Blech....RL, you git

It's a subtle distinction, but for a game as traditionally open as this one, it feels ram-rodded. Basically the equivalent of a person sitting in Pocket D with a bio that says "No matter how you imagined yourself, I am actually the one who architected every aspect of your power, and for that matter every one else's." I half expect the next set of story arcs to introduce me to my "life long best friend, who I grew up with in a small town in the Midwest, who betrays me in the second act."
    This. This is what really gets me a tad miffed about it all.
  7. I'm sorted, but...

    Way to drop the ball on this one, tech-dep and announcement-ers. This is a really bad 'un =/
  8. Yeah, I don't know why I didn't think WP/SS sooner. Possibly because I already have an SS/WP Brute.
    So...I guess that solved that one fairly fast, heh. Now to sort out the Uniform, and sorted.
  9. Yeah...how to make that one work?
    I can't think of anything. I don't want to use claws (way too done, no good models), don't really want to use weapons...I'm in a bit of a pickle.

    The one thought I did have was making a Fire/ scrapper, but then I have no idea what I'd pair it with. And a werewolf breathing fire? Ehhhh...pass.

    Any help and suggestions much appreciated!

    If it's all about story line that makes them who they are... then additional storylines can be created to give them the reason to do something else....
    Yes, because everyone loves utterly butchered canon!

    Oh, wait...

    OT; I still can't figure out why the Devs don't simply use multiple targetting boxes for giant entities. In the same way that Lusca's main body can't be killed (irrc) before the tentacles go down, that can just as easily work for the Giant Robot. Two legs, two arms, torso and head. Destroy the arms and it loses main weapons, but starts firing missiles from it's torso and lasers from it's head. Destroy one leg it gets a 50% speed penalty and loses any stomp attack it had, destroy the other and it's immobile. Destroy the torso to stop the missile barrage and make the head vulnerable. Finish off for coup de grace.

    Unless theres some major tech hurdles in the way there (there may well be) I see no reason that it couldn't work.

    Not everything has to be a Booster Pack, or paid add-on.

  13. You guys haven't spotted the Saistian Trend?
  14. Freaking Nazi's man!

    Damn cool. The fact he peeled his damn face off in the teaser trailer was awesome enough. I'm so seeing this. My dubiousness is well and truly crushed
  15. And, people, this is why you pick the ones that are easy to remember... Sorted here.

    That said, I don't doubt the various nightmare stories, and hope everyone who's fallen foul of the 'Security' changes gets sorted out to their satisfaction soon.
  16. Delay Issue 20? No
    Delay the Lore Slot itself? Hells to the god damn yes. I hate railroading and stuff being forced down the throat like that. Saying "Well just don't take it then, gawd!" is also a damn stupid idea. Why should concept be brutalised just for number output in a game that, for so long, has avoided that very pitfall?

    Given how pants on head spactarded the NPC A.I. is at the moment, simple is best frankly, because it has less chance to right royally screw you.

    Wisp Aura?

    Really, what Kheldarn said. I'd heard all the doom and hate on the other forums, and was prepared for the worst.

    I just finished installing and setting up. It was utterly painless. And it updated test in half the time it would normally take.

    You great, frilly-knickered pansies, the lot of ya's!
  19. I think being locked with Praet pets is the only thing I would fault. It does smack of the same lack of vision that was shown with the Patron Pools (or simple lack of viable tech for it)

    *shrug*
  20. How's about both of you just knock it off?

    Sheesh...artists and cats is a good parallel I think.
  21. Not sure what's happening this weekend (5th-6th) for me, so I may have to update on that. Will hopefully see.
    Uhhmm...think Von Schaden still needs to fight a few people. Ech, so much to do, so little time! Blarg!
  22. "You called, Herr Samuel?"



    I approve of that, very much.
  23. /Signed. I'd also love to see them get an HD re-render pass, but thats just me
