  1. Ugh, really? I did not know that (I don't like iTrials, so haven't done anything more recent than Lambda; assumed the cutscene tech simply extended from there to the others - ***+u+me); they need to extend that technology to those cutscenes if that's true.
  2. The Coming Storm (which involves the Battalion) is the next Big Bad that Incarnates will be dealing with, according to foreshadowing in recent content and dev chat/post/interview tidbits.
  3. If someone's on your league that's never done the trial, the cutscenes are triggered. If everyone's successfully completed the trial, the cutscenes are not triggered. If you're seeing the cutscene, it's because someone on the trial hasn't seen it yet. Don't be a booger.

    Fixed that for ya.

    As a frequent pilot of healing characters, it is always the healer's fault*, according to nearly all the groups I've ever been in.







    *It's rarely the healer's fault. It's rarely the tank's fault. It's rarely the dps's fault. Most often is a combination of everyone's faults, plus the enemies doing things at just the right [wrong] time.

    We were actually never told it would be Tuesday, just that Celestial would go out on Tuesday (6/5). Of course, which followed that Mecha would go in (and with it, I23 launched). But we were never explicitly told Tuesday would be I23.

    Tomorrow's release wasn't posted until after gameboy's post.
  6. They're removing Celestial from the UI, but it will still be awardable via GM request until June 5, since that's what the newsletter said.
  7. All incarnate stuff is available until 45 (obviously except Incarnate Shifts [Level Shift is kept]), because you get stuff five levels above your exemplar level. At 44, everything cuts off because you only have access up to 49.

    Using UniqueDragon logic, the statement you make here is "the game will be unavailable to the British philosophers". Which is OK because there's so few of them these days (there's so few philosophers at all these days, which is sad) and also I doubt any of them play City anyway.

    Not really. Just more bodies for the fire.

No idea why that stuck with me, but that's always been my explanation for it, and that it was just some place the powers that be said, "here go pretend to be an ideas guy and quit clogging up the rest of the forum."
    Yeah, no, I have no idea where you're remembering that from, but it wasn't City. They've actually repeatedly mentioned when a change/addition they've made was player-suggested.
  11. Total GG nonsequitur. Your post had nothing to do with the thread, nor Sailboat's post (Sailboat's been around a while, yanno).
  12. Close out of the game. Open the launcher and click on the download button. That will download City faster using their akamai distribution tech, rather than "background download" you get with the game open.

    Scroll down. The transfer screen doesn't have enough space to list all of the servers.
  14. Elec Blast isn't bad. MM is one of the tastier blaster secondaries. The combination of Ball Lightning, Short Circuit, Psychic Scream, and Psychic Shockwave would be kind of sickening.

    *looks at character list* It's been a while since I started a new character....

    They moved it to For Fun because people were thinking that putting a suggestion in there when it was under Development meant that the suggestion would eventually make it into the game, no matter what. And because people were being exceedingly hostile and manipulative and just generally terrible people and it was escalating.

    So (CuppaJo?) put their foot down, moved it, gave out some temp bans, and told everyone to play nice or else. And generally, it's a MUCH better atmosphere in there. Especially since a certain few people stopped posting (voluntarily or otherwise, I don't know).

    Proccy question

    Duh. Totally forgot you added them in, 37 fat-fingered a rollback, and I fixed it. Completely lost a day or something.
  17. It will proc on you, but only with enemies in range. The best place for Numi's is in a passive (e.g. HPT, Fast Healing, Health, Physical Perfection, etc.)

    Along with tanstaafl's comment, all of the servers are located in the same building so that has no bearing either.

    Edit: Link.

    Edit:
    Another edit: 7 years mentions "over 42 million characters." Doesn't say how many 50s. 'nother link.
    Aha, I put in an extra zero in my memory. Soz'.

    Considering, IIRC, there was something like either close to or over half a billion characters created? Yeah, 100k is a very small ratio.
  21. Pretty sure any kind of non-City promotion is frowned upon, especially if it leads to you possibly making money off it.

    I see you haven't paid attention to the DA revamp. For one, Adamastor doesn't spawn there anymore, and for two, it's seriously not vacant anymore.
  23. Open your contact window and hit "find contact". If you're in range and she shows up, Veluta Lunata's arc is a lot of fun.
  24. Change out those generic endmods in Phys Perfection and Stamina for Perf Shifter EndMods. You'll get two freebie +movement set bonuses and the same enhancement numbers.
