I prefered the old Market UI. I'd like an option to change it back to something that doesnt mess with my head on subtle levels.

Frankly, I challenge anyone to come up with one GOOD reason why any of the old Pre-Paragon Studios dross should remain in game outside of Ouroborous, and then only maybe.

Do I even need to comment on this?
I'll keep it simples, ok?

YES!!

The old content is utter dross. It took me a day and a bit to make the arc in my sig which would do away with Azuria's 'Not actually a connected arc' missions. And thats just using the AE, not the proper Dev tools.

Revamp > Oh look its SHINY derp da derp!

I'm starting to believe the RNG is also not completly random. I needed 8 shards last night to get my Uncommon slot.
I did the entirety of Black Scorpions second arc with a friend. I got the last shard on the very last mission.
What did he get? Shards galore, a LotG +Recharge and two, count them TWO Purples. TWO! I've had three in my entire time in game!

I'd swear something is outta whack here...

I seem to be an abberrant number in that I prefered the second film to the first.
While the second invariable had more of the naff humour that Bay seems to think is funny (the dogs...giant metallic boons...nuts and tasers), the first had so many throw away characters...so much...bleh about it. I mean, it wasw basically a teen angst movie about getting the girl. Woop de doo. Said girl also could barely act.

I mean, sorry, but you do not kill of Jazz, one of the oldest TF characters, and not even have a decent camera angle. Theres about a million different ways that scene could have been shot and been a crapton better.
There was a Youtube vid of filming on set for TF3. It started, and instantly it was all the military peeps running, opening fire, hunkering down behind burning cars. Bay was running around in the middle with a steady cam with this insane grin pasted on his face. I didnt even have to comment, someone had seemingly read my mind on what he was thinking;
"YeahYEAH woo more'splosions! Dakka! Boom! Yeah, more boom, moreboom, BOOM! BAM! Zow, pow, bang! Yeah, wooo! Yeah, I'm good at this!"

It's....it's like watching Warpath from G1's mental process. On a multi million dollar film set. It's just...argh.
I'd kill for the chance to make a Transformers Movie. And it'd be a metric crapton better than Bayformers...

/fan rage

...Except, unless I missed something, you don't need to respec.
If they never took Stamina in the first place, they have no need to respec. It was only builds with Legacy Fitness that had to repsec.
So, in essence, you can keep the beautiful old fire pump, and have another shiny at the same time, right?

....
Damnit, I blame this for my instant facepalm.
Looks great...but the name will always make me smirk for the wrong reason now XD

The Youtube commentsare very enlightening as to why Bay gets away with what he does.

A movie has;
1) Action Sequences
2) Some hot chick
3) Profit!

I...shouldn't be surprised. I really shouldn't. But it's so mind numbingly depressing as to just how easily people are satisfied.

I might be ok. I might be judging unfairly. Maybe both of the other movies were bad luck flukes.
Don't get me wrong, they were decent enough action movies. But Transformers? Nah. They weren't that. Sorry.

(Give me Bays budget and some decent actors, now, that would be a whole different story! )

If the Rare is anything like the Uncommon, then I'd say save as many shards as possible and make at least two Uncommons for every Very Rare you want. Because if a Rare Costs an Uncommon to make (hypothetical) and a Very Rare costs two Rares (Known Fact) then the components you will need to make the two Rares will probably require quite a lot of shards.

And thats not even counting the Judgement and future slots, which I would assume would use the same salvage, right? Or at least still use Incarnate shards. So...It won't be wasted, I'd hazard a guess.

Who says that it will be with I20?
From what War Witch said, it seemed they were hoping to dole out the Incarnate stuff from now onward at regualr intervals, to stop the 'Content dump - Huge gap' syndrome of the past.
Which would be ideal, I have to say, and much more advisable.

Nebro, for Jinken, and the first of my digital sketches! The dawn of a new age of *breath* Dooooooooooooooomm! *deep breath* for arts!



Hope ya like it! I'm pretty pleased with a 2 hour 11min sketch

Both look very good, nice, clean style there. Grats on both =]
And your asking a predominantly male group if...they mind female nudity...?
Did you get bashed over the head recently?

Hehe, a birthday gift for a friend. And, yes, that's all digital A sign of an upgrade for me, hopefully.

Right, starting work on #5, whoever that may be

Also putting an updated list here so it's easier to keep track of;

1) Arbegla - Arbegla 2.0
2) Ironik - Captain Blood - DONE!
3) Sensei Blur -Slithershot
4) Ephemeris - Kalenta - DONE!
5) Jinken - Nebro - DONE!
6) CapnGeist - Saira Tariq
7) CadmusC - Rostov Kushan - DONE!
8) Black Orchid II - Haurinca
9) Goblin Queen - Goblin Queen - DONE!
10) Jades Revenge - Jaded Tempest

Since the Very Rare slot takes two Rares to make, it might be worth making another uncommon for when they do release them? I know I will be on Alpha.
