I am rereading the Monster Hunter International books by Larry Correia.

If you like guns, and monsters these books are hard to beat. That is of course is when I am not reading Christian Theology by Alister E. McGrath or Exploring the Old Testament a guide to wisdom literature By Ernest C Lucas. The last is the most boring text book ever created. -
Love watching her fight, it will be cool to see what she can do on the big screen.

I got this from my kids for my B-day, and I was actually impressed. It is not a deep story, but it is a great action flick. I would recommend it for a general good time. There are some cheesy lines, but the visuals, and the action are pretty good.

I don't think there are going to be very many free players to worry about. They are very very limited in this game and will either have to quit or upgrade. They won't stay free. -
I am trying to figure out why Zwill has pics of my back yard. >

Yep, and nope, the buildings here did NOT like that one bit.
Still waiting to hear from my wife in Silver Spring.
Stay safe, people. -
My Grandmother in Raleigh NC said she could feel tremors from it. Wonder how many people freaked and thought they were being nuked.

Quote:Or a ton of time and patients. With the incarnate store in place, with enough time it is not hard to IO a character any longer...if you have the time. Issue 21 is going to make it even easier if you are willing to spend RL cash.Originally Posted by Werner
These days, I'd think even a basic build would run you a few billion.
Also for any wanting to make a new scrapper, I honestly would suggest waiting till i21. I know I am waiting for Street Justice, but others may not want to do that. -
Until Beta started all I had played since GR was a KM/EleA, really fun combo. I can't remember it being weak in the low levels, but I put those behind me really fast.
I agree with others, between PS and PP the set has no end problems at the late levels, but I also have a dream build on this toon.
At later levels PS becomes it's own form of mitigation, and I use it as an attack as much as I do for a buff to end. With the right Incarnate powers and slotting you can even shut down some AVs end recovery. I however dropped that build and went to a high DPS build, which may change again when i21 hits. -

Also from what is said Stormbringer is a D&D thing so considering D&D sucks in my opinion why would i or anyone who doesn't care about D&D know about it...also when's the last time you've seen a cosplay of it ^.^
I thought the list was pretty good, but not great. -
Mutant Chest (Bio-luminescent and Organic Armor)
Warrior Top

Quote:Not really a Currency, it is more like the claim button on the current vet rewards. Instead of clicking a button, you place a token.Originally Posted by Bad_Influence
After a little searching around, I am more confused than ever.
Just what we needed, a new currency in the game! [Tiers, points etc.] Outstanding! I hope every issue from now on includes at least one new form of currency, and two or three more would be even better. *headdesk*
Can you imagine HOW confusing this would all be to someone new to the game? Seriously. Back when I was new, I was doing good to get Infamy down pat, lol.
Oh well. I'll get a pencil, paper and a spreadsheet and figure all this out later. Eventually I will get that backpiece. Thanks for replies, all.
Also, the devs have said those costume options will be rotated back in. I personally would expect them to be there for over 6 months any way. -

It would seem likely that is the whole "real" reason for this plot development in the franchise..Like Scott had "better" things to do with all those flops he has starred in since UnderWorld 2! XD It's pretty depressing really since I found his character to be the only interesting one ability wise in the films.

Quote:They way they keep hinting at it, I expect it will be within 2-3 weeks. The up side to this model over the Anet model is the Hybrid brings in a constant stream of income. Where as Anet only had it in spurts. I honestly expect we will see new powers every month, if not more often.Originally Posted by Stryph
Yeah, but the problem with that is they had to have known that sooner or later this problem would surface. Anet used to make the same claims, that every six months they'd release new chapters. Ended up waiting a year for GW:NF and then another for GW:EN. Instead of making promises that will ultimately end unkempt - they could, as Nil pointed out, influence team-blitz.
Now we have to sit around and, if we want in on the fun, use existing sets that have already been there. With EA getting a tune up that, grant it, a lot of people are in favor of.
Personally, I just think it was an inconvenient decision. If it was a week delayed, ok I'll roll with that but by 2-3months, great you'll have teams with nothing but melees because nobody will be playing support and what not (I exaggerate but you get the idea, new stuff inspires curiosity).
I personally only care about the new melee sets. All I play are scrappers and brutes, hell I don't even care for tanks and stalkers. What gives me hope is you can log on and see the powers of two upcoming sets in the beta server now. The leaked video of [redacted] (and their hard work at killing threads about it on the boards) tells me that the heavy lifting has been done. That is at least two new sets within the year for us I bet.
Also take a look at some of the mobs in FW, the awakened are using what many of us think are the seeds of the much wanted Psi melee.
I really feel this change is going to be good for scrappers, and lovers of costume items. Which means, I think I am going to be pretty happy. I am confident enough that I am buying a year sub, and $130 (yeaaa B-day money) in points as soon as it goes live. -
You guys are talking about Paragon Rewards, and all I remember is hints about weather effects coming.

Quote:I really hope you named that toon Stripper Justice bAss.Originally Posted by bAss_ackwards
Beta server will be down very soon for a new patch. Street Justice access will be removed. Scrappers, I hope you enjoyed a peek at the set. Soon after Freedom and Issue 21 launch, you'll be able to resume your Street Justice!
I will greatly miss Street Justice until it returns. :/ -
The "T for teen" rating of this game prevents the devs from doing what I think of as an assassin strike. Take a look at Tenchu, or some of the other "One Shot, One Kill" console games and you will have an idea of what I think it should be like. I have always found the power lacking in the animation dept.
It is the knife to the brain stem, the Dim Mak or Quivering Palm that stops the heart, the loss of a head, or the Sub_Zero spine pull. It should be brutal, and destructive, encouraging all around to run, or at least discouraging further resistance. In short, it should be deadly, and frightening.
For Street Justice (as it is noted by Sam in the post above mine) I think a knee to the back in which it bends the person/target in half would be perfect. I however do not think that would fit with what the game, and the rating call for the power to be. -
Quote:The t2 power is great with a shield, because it looks like a Spartan shield bash. Also with spinning strike the shield is all over the place and looks like it is knocking the crap out of stuff.Originally Posted by Shadowsylph
The animations with a shield are the same as without, except with a shield on the left arm.

Happ B-day. Now that I know that we share a birth month, and that you are a fellow Leo, I understand why you are so awesome.

Quote:Beta Server is going down in a few, so I am betting it will be today. After some tests today, I am going to go with Invul. It is the only scrapper secondary I have not played from 1-50. I am still deciding if I want to go Brute or Scrapper though.Originally Posted by bAss_ackwards
Folks, not much time until Street Justice access is removed from the Beta client! Try it now, or else!

Quote:I am really torn on this. I don't really want to repeat a secondary. In beta I played this from 1-50 on /SD, 1-45 on /EA and 1-35 on /Regen. Regen was the smoothest, because there were not as many endurance issues.Originally Posted by bAss_ackwards
So, when this does hit the live servers - what Power Sets are you going to be pairing with Street Justice?
For me, I'll be remaking an MA/SD I have into StJ/SD and a new StJ/Inv character. I thought about making a StJ/Willpower, and still might sometime in the future but for now I think those two will do just fine.
I oddly have never played Invul to 50, so I am leaning towards that. This is going to be a pretty hard choice for me. /EA is exciting, but it is horrible on end, like beat my head on the desk horrible.
In the end, it will be either /Invul, or /WP I think.
This is a really fun set, in large part because of the animations. I see the attack chains being listed, but I couldn't imagine pulling Initial Strike from my build. That attack just makes it all flow better visually.
As cor CR, I always use it when I really want to unload some ugly damage. I use it to unload two finishers in a row, and then can build a 3rd one up really fast.
The biggest question I am facing is if I want to do a scrapper or a brute. I really like the energy mastery epic pool for brutes. The ability to increase max end is just too cool.
Also, with the incarnate system, I am not sure why anyone one would need to spend 16 billion inf on a build. With the new UG trial awarding 2 E-merits the ability to get purple sets just got even faster. -
I do not feel spoilers belong on the open boards at all. Some will know I feel the reverse during the closed beta process, where I feel the story needs to be openly discussed for the purpose of testing.
Yes, any spoiler on the boards needs to be tagged as such, and in a manner that it does not ruin the story for anyone.
In the community boards we use for HUB, we have spoiler tags that create little buttons that must be clicked on to show the text as written. I think that would be a good addition to these boards. -
I have tried multiple Chains with the set. I played it 1-50 on a StJ/SD scrapper, 1-43 on a StJ/EA scrapper, and 1-34 on a Stj/Regen brute (most fun of the group), and all of them felt like it didn't flow well if Initial Strike was removed.
This may because of my own MT background where we are taught every good combo starts with a jab, or it may be that the animators feel the same way.
Either way, the attack chain and animations flow much better if initial strike is left as a part of them. To me that is, ymmv. -
Hasten is still an eyesore. Please change the FX, or give us a few different FX to chose from. Keep the fire, but give us the option Electricity, a blure, smoke, shoot, about any aura we have could be used as an option.
Before they said there was no way to do it, but with the incarnate powers it seems there was a way found to do it. Just don't allow the pool to appear in the creator till it is chosen as a power.
