    As for the +jump speed, it's a problem with falling in general. I don't see why you should fall faster because you've got hurdle.
    KSSSSSSSSSsshheeeee....

    Pedestrians...

  3. Blasters;

    The Blaster is an offensive juggernaut. This hero can deal a ton of damage from either a distance or up-close, but he must be careful because he's somewhat fragile compared to other heroes. The Blaster can't stand toe to toe with most opponents for long. His best defense is a great offense!
    Thats the official description. See how it never says anywhere that the Blaster must be at range? Thats because it doesnt matter; Blasters are purely about damage, at the cost of any shields. They simply use more damage to kill stuff faster.

    I dunno, something about their legs just seems off. Liberty in particular. She seems kinda dumpy for some reason? Either her arms seem too long, or her legs are too short. They look a little like their top and bottom halves are on seperate scales from one another.
    Again, I couldn't tell without actually looking at the rig though.

    Trying to remember what it was that was said about Stone Armour. I destinctly remember you saying something along the lines of "It's unbalanced for 31 levels and overpowered for 18."
    Or am I going mad(er)?

    I can't remember the exact quote, but that was the gist of it.

    Based on what facts, exactly?

    Energy Manipulation
    Fire Manipulation

    Sorry, what was your arguement again?

    Still made me lol though

    Nothing against you, Tincan, I've just seen too many "quotes" that have been quoted from a paraphrase of a secondhand quote.
    *Sigh*
    Where's that bloody thread gone..?
    *Starts digging*

    Edit: Someones going to have to help me out here. I remember reading the damn thread, I just can't remember wether it was open discussion or in one of the Beta forums.

    No, the EU Servers, that is the actual hunks of circuitry and metal, or at least the data on them, were moved to the US. A physical move.

    An EU-US Server LIST would mean ALL the servers were on the same list, which would be a good thing. As of yet, there is no news of that being possible, although its hoped for.

    Actual Server Mergers are not happening. Because they are a really ****ing bad idea. End of.

    Tl;dr
    Theres nothing wrong with the EU servers. But the NCSoft site is still a pile of shite.

    Then, as Omy mentioned, he should have mentioned this rather than lambasting everyone with type-based arrogance.

    I have no interest in the plot, mostly due to a certainty it will be no fun for me or my characters.
    And I have yet to see these 'lots of people who agree' either.

    Ever since Hover got buffed, I've loved it more and more. It used to be something I switched off out of combat, using it only for fights with squishies and such.

    Now? Alpha barely leaves hover. My PB rarely leaves Combat Flight. My Fire/Fire blaster is literal death from above.

    I love Hover!

    If you look at the original post I started this thread, you can see I did not mention United States of America anywhere in the post.
    Hmmm, I sure do love that smell of hypocrisy.
  15. I mean, heck, if Castle himself said that (paraphrase) "Stone armour is 31 levels of underpowered and 18 levels of overpowered," then surely it screams out for a looking at?
  16. I'd rather the day/night cycle wasnt so damn short. And was, y'know, synched across the city or something?
    That's a real pain...

    NO.

    Does she care about it enough to break up their relationship?
    No.

    The source of this evidence?
    Their wedding vows.
    I may have to read the books at some point, or at least more of the CoXverse fiction.

    So, yeah. I say thats pretty much /thread, here.

    Exactly.

    I mean, hello? Longbow use flamethrowers. It's pretty hard to get any more lethal. Do they still use 'em? You bet!

    And no, I won't be thankful for someone taling down to me and being patronising, thank you all the same.
  21. Just because it says he sometimes uses lethal force, doesn't mean he kills every street thug he ever puts away.

    Theres a difference between using a Stun arrow on a Hellion and slamming them in jail and rehab, and putting a bodkin arrow through the throat of a 5th Column Ubermench Oberst who is looking to detonate a bomb that would bring an entire city zone crashing down, for example.

    Yes, he uses lethal force. It doesn't say anywhere that he uses it all the time.
  22. Whatever else happens, Rooted has to change. The simple godawfulness of it puts me off Stone completely. It is the one and only set that I will not touch with a galactic barge pole. I know I'm not the only one.

    Will be busy today, so no more arts for now. Will finish the rest of the sketches up in the latter half of this week, however.
