Another shift at this point would make the current Incarnate content a total joke. I mean I love the idea of more power, but the only one my KM/Ela scrapper even finds annoying is UG and the confuse at the end. If I had another shift the confuse would be annoying, but the rest of the trial would be a breez.
Street hunting in DA would be like street hunting in PI. As in not very challenging.
So, as much as I want more power, I want the game to require me to need that more power first. -

I was being entirely serious, but if you say it was mostly sarcasm, then pardon me. But... yeah. You went off a Johnny-styled rant there.
Sarcasm noted. -

I didn't know you had an alternate account, Johnny!
>_>
Since you left out all context, Johnny, let me support the Stalker Forums for a moment. The Stalker Forums feel ALL underforming Melee sets need to be buffed at this point, but it's not a priority issue. Everyone acknowledges, at least people who aren't Johnny, that Blasters and Ranged Sets need to be addressed, as again, Fire Blast is only equal to the rough average of damage of melee sets.
It's logical that people would want underperforming sets like Spines to get looked at in the near future. THAT is what the Stalker Forums are saying, while you make it sound like "HURRR WE NEED MOAR BUFFS GUIZ".
They want universal melee set balance, Johnny.
My post was not meant to be taken as serious as you may have take it. Perhaps it is tone of the boards today, perhaps it is my meds and the fact that I was half asleep when I wrote it.
That was the only part I was even close to serious on.Quote:Think the best thing that could be done is all of the melee ATs looked at in how they balance with each other. We may love or hate what comes from that. -
Just checking to see if you guys are also reading the stalker boards. I have 2 at 50 now so I feel I am allowed there. Oddly I still consider myself a scrapper, may need to talk to my doc about that on Monday.
There is at least one person saying that stalkers need further buff. Which I think is horse poop, but hey.
Give it time and my paranoia will be proven correct, we will be wallowing in the mud with the tankers. And posters like EG , Leo_g, Brand X, and I will be crazy for thinking that scrappers should get back to their glory days.
Ok that was a little over dramatized. :P I Think the best thing that could be done is all of the melee ATs looked at in how they balance with each other. We may love or hate what comes from that. -
Quote:And this works. However one or two people came on the boards and did their best to make the rest of the Union RP population look like loons.Originally Posted by Zortel
We get hit with this news, like news before it, brains get blasted, then we calm down, work out how it goes into the Unionverse, get a general consensus, and work within that.
Crap happens in every RPG, be it MMO, Table Top, or LARP. Crap we don't like, crap that is at the discretion of the GM. In this case I think some have forgotten that the Devs are the GMs.
Games move forward. You in the end seem to get this, and get that you will roll with the punches. Just like in any other RPG that you play. -
Quote:For some reason the Beta server likes to do things on Thursday. Considering Friday is the start of a Holiday for a large portion of the world, tomorrow is the most likely time if it is going to start this week.Originally Posted by OmniNogard
So VIP Beta starts Very "Soon" like the next few days? I don't even know if ill still have internet for a day to at least see whats new before moving. Who knows how long it will take for me to find a good ISP for the new place.
That and I have to go with my family out of town for the weekend and want to test it some before I have to go. I have Radiation at 7:30 AM est tomorrow, and that gives me the rest of the day to feel like crap, and play CoX.

Quote:Dude, I have never been so glad to see you in a thread. I promise at this point, info sooner rather than later would be a good thing.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
This is not the case.
I would strongly recommend that you not put a lot of stock in rumors. Wait for official confirmation from a Red Name or for an official article, such as an Issue overview or an Intrepid Informer article. I promise, there is much more information to come. -

Fortunately you have no need for concern in that area.

Quote:Yeah man, I agree with this too. :/ Dang some days we are on the hive mind, and on others we are repulsing fields.Originally Posted by Darth_Khasei
I just have to say that while true, it is no real measure of who gets banned since there are people here that are allowed to violate the rules daily with ZERO repercussions whatsoever, while others are stalked by the mods at every turn.

Quote:You are seeing time as too linear.Originally Posted by Night_Watcher
The point is that once I23 hits live, you can't, ever, make a new Praetorian character because the whole of Praetoria is no longer there
Player 1 "Hi, I am a Preatorian!"
Player 2 "How?!?!?! Cole blew it all up!!!"
Player 1 "What are you talking about? It was still there when I left, and Cole had saved us all by stopping the Hammidon!"
Player 3 "Perhaps he has hit some form of time slim in coming through the portal?" ***** Eyebrow like a Vulcan.
Really, is the scope of RP so small in Europe? -

Why? We got a neat preview of some awesome new content, and some new people got to try out the game

Quote:The truth is you should not need it. There players perma banned in the past for less. I think the post stepped WAY past the rules of the board.Originally Posted by SpyralPegacyon

What I have REALLY learned today. Letting the press play before the players is not a good idea after all.

And insulting a large portion of the players in the process makes your point so well?

Hey, who knows, the next incarnate power may be "Rebuild a city in a day" power.

Quote:That is the most logical post I have seen on this particular topic. Thank you so much.Originally Posted by Schismatrix
True, they would've all long since been subsumed into the Devouring Earth, there to dwell in happy communion with the Will of the Earth.
That is assuming no Tyrant at all. If he'd been a bit less authoritarian but still present there probably would've been fewer plots by the Resistance to massacre random civilians. Fewer, not zero. -
Quote:Statesman is dead, yet we will still have storied Like MJ that feature him. People can still RP a Preatorian, for them that even just hasn't happened yet. The beauty of RP is just about anything can be explained away.Originally Posted by CactusBrawler
They just removed an entire RP concept from the players, want to RP as a Preatorian post I23? Too bad everyone's dead.

Quote:Chicken...Egg who knows? People who want to rebel like that would just find another reason.Originally Posted by Golden Girl

Quote:Meh, he just wanted to beat the resistance to the punch. We all know they would have done the same thing sooner or later.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Well, it fits his tough love approach to the people he ruled - as well as the 24/7 acts of mass murder, torture, brainwashing and enslavement, he's also been shown to be capable of massive acts of violence against his people, like when he had Anti-matter use the sonic fences to almost exterminate everyone in first Ward - so wiping out the heart of his city was "for the greater good" too.

Quote:The trial looked cool, but it was pretty frustrating to watch.Originally Posted by Kirsten
I just watched the feed of the next iTrial, and it seems pretty awesome. What do you all think? I'm particularly excited about Hybrid slot!

Quote:Wonder how end heavy these Toggles are. I see most, if not all of my scrappers with Assault.Originally Posted by enderbean
Info about the hybrid incarnate slot from the livestram of the magisterium iTrial (straight from Posi):
Four trees:
Assault: Gives stacking increases to damage with each attack.
Control: Gives chance to do damage to controlled enemies or a chance to do more damage to enemies with low health (like containment and scourge).
...
Melee: Increases regen, defense or resistence (PBAoE like Rise to the Challenge).
Support: Is like all the leadership powers rolled into one (+acc, +damage, +defense, +special).
These are toggle powers. -
Quote:Nah, I meant the 3 new sets from i23. But then it dawned on me they even pulled down the overview page today. It is one of those days for me.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
You mean the loyalty helmets?

Any pics of the new costumes shown in the ustream today?

Tyrant calls on the power of Tartarus to nuke Nova Praetoria - but we survive the blast - and the ruined map looks epic
