  2. BUG REPORT

    The correct spelling of the Latin phrase for which the new iTrial is named is:

    Sic Semper Tyrannis


    Not 'sempre'. Please don't let people who know Spanish attempt to do your Latin translations -- ยกsiempre!

    The 1-20 story as written has all participants abandoning both Cole and 'being a Praetorian.' Anyone wanting to substitute their own reality for 'RP purposes' was building a sand castle.

    Tide just came in.

  10. And *another* web leak!

    If Seattle was smart, they'd fake a gas leak tomorrow and not answer the phone.

    Oh, look, Darth_Khasei tells another person to stop posting. Clever argument. You win the day!
  13. I'm sure the Devs dread and are cut-to-the-chase by the critical remarks of closed beta testers than any open forum hater, especially those who've demonstrated a keen ability to criticize something with which they have no knowledge or experience or think posting the same pet peeve in multiple threads gives them a bigger voice rather than, in actuality, a much smaller voice.

    I always find it fun to see the players speculate on what we're working on. It pains me that I can't say anything about this particular subject...

    Yes...pains...

    *bwaaaahahahahahaha*

    Oh... a gorefest slasher MMO with copious amounst of blood splattering on the camera.

    Nice.

    • Staff Fighting was opened on the beta earlier than Beast Mastery.
    • Staff Fighting was acknowledged by the majority of testers on the VIP beta as being clearly ready for release outside of minor FX issues as early as the end of January, as evidenced by testing data across all level ranges on the VIP beta servers, including Incarnate content. There were complaints about the set's sound effects, which were addressed, and there was an animation bug involving Assassin Strike on Staff Stalkers, which was addressed.
    • Beast Mastery, in contrast, was widely acknowledged to be underperforming by a substantial percentage of the testers who were actually skillful Mastermind players and who were not too busy squeeing over the pets' appearance to actually pay attention to the numbers. Chief among the set's acknowledged issues were the fact that none of the six pets in the set have gapless attack chains (in fact, all six have large gaps), and the fact that there was an observed correlation between Beast Mastery's introduction to the beta servers and a sudden significant degradation in pet AI performance which affected all Mastermind primaries.
    • The fact that the introduction of Beast Mastery to the VIP beta servers exposed a bug causing pets - Mastermind pets, Lore pets, Controller pets, any kind of pets - to uncontrollably charge mission and/or trial bosses while ignoring mastermind pet commands, including stay/heel, (most noticeable in various phases of the Underground trial, and also with Marauder at Lambda Sector, but it manifests in non-Incarnate content as well) should have been an absolute show-stopper to the set's release; there is no universe I am aware of in which an update that fundamentally breaks the functionality of one archetype and significantly inhibits the damage-dealing functionality of two other archetypes should have been considered acceptable.
    • Nonetheless, Beast Mastery was released to the live servers without addressing any of its problems, in the midst of a continuous wave (which is still ongoing) of new Paragon Market items obsessively using the four-legged animation rig first introduced by the German Shepherd vanity pet. As of right now, April 3, 2012, all of the above mentioned issues, which were identified on the VIP beta in February, are still present on the live servers.
    • We are then told that the timing of the release of Beast Mastery - which should not have been pushed live in this state - is the primary reason that Staff Fighting has not been released to the live servers, because "if we release too many Powersets too quickly, it could be seen as a grab at your Paragon Points, and subsequently, your money." However, either the development team apparently does not consider a black wolf vanity pet that is documented to require, on average, the purchase of over one hundred dollars in Super Packs to be a grab at our Paragon Points, or that excuse is patently devoid of truth.
    So, I suppose you want me to play with your staff now, eh?

    But one side effect of that is that, because it was in the news here off and on for months, I know bloody well what a liger looks like, and that's not even vaguely a liger. If you were going to just make up an animal, you should have made up your own name for it.
    It turns out that this liger is more of a Napoleon Dynamite liger (hence the scorpion tail) than a real liger.

    I'm OK with people not liking that. <shrug>

    Tigers have a different body shape than the lion/liger or panther, so, it has to be crafted rather than simply reskinned, which is more work.

    The same for a domestic cat.

    I sure these will be coming eventually, but they weren't on the Beta server when it was open (Beta server currently closed in prep for I23).

    We saw the same thing with the roll out of the doggies: first the wolf/shepherd/dark wolf model, then the coyote, then the dire wolf. While all dog-framed rigs, they have different body types.

    *sigh* DC game is meh....

    Marvel game is not going to let you create a character....blech

    I really want COH2.

    A 10 year old fantasy MMO just updated its head (cranium) polygon count from 200 to 2,000. So, given the will and the money and the time... anything can be upgraded.

    But upgrade is the only thing to expect with the CoH franchise. History has shown that almost all version 2 of MMOs did not generate more income. The v.2 simply cannibalized the playerbase of v.1 of the MMO.

    Egads, you're right. I guess I didn't realize there would be anything faked on the Internet.

    Let me try again...
