All i want to know is when and where can we pre order it?

Not Victory or Pinnacle? Those are the only 2 servers i kept active toons on - 34 of me on Each as a matter of fact.

Apart from Spines being able to use the geometry from Thorns, and Thorns being able to use the geometry from Spines (both of which can be colored), there will be at least one other set of alternate geometry/FX.

Well thats one of the things i listed on the Issue 16 thread that i wanted an answer on - and a darn good answer it is!

Can you give us a hint at the utility power for the set? (ie powerboost, buildup,...)

[/ QUOTE ]

Earth's Embrace, maybe?

[/ QUOTE ]

GOOD LORD - if it is then it means i need to make my second Dom ever - my main problem with doms is not having at least a simple heal to keep them alive without spending slots on medicine pool - my only one right now is a Plant/Psi because i have the tree on one side and the drain psyche on the other - i understand neither is a true heal but it works well enough for me - so well in fact he ended up being my only other 50 villian side, along with a Thug/Dark MM which was my first. Its probably to much to ask that earth embrace is in the set - but i am hoping!

OCR?

Short for "Online Community Reps", i beleive

Where is the slow field generator. I tried looking in the arcane and tech defense items it's not there. Is it an unlock?

[/ QUOTE ]

Its crafted via one of the tables - and it works great for the water effect - i have 4 bases all with one or 2 reflecting pools in them. I would be interested in finding out how to do a decent waterfall effect - thus far my various tries have all been EPIC FAILS

Wow, I can't believe no one has said this yet. This is ridiculous, what ever happened to earning things in game? Pretty soon, we're going to have to pay for everything in this game, I can see it now. I for one, am not buying anything, I'm boycotting this. At least give out a free one like you did with character slots. Heck, even that was bs.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have no problem giving more money to a game i love and getting something i really want in return as oppose to them raising the monthly service fee. Some people can use this complaint about the various pack, but in this case it is slightly diffrent. In order for them to allow for more slots they all most certainly had to do a major upgrade to the Architect server to handle the load, this is the original reason only 3 was allowed. Enough people asked for it that they finally decided to do it, most assuredly at no small cost to themselves, so i really wont fault them for doing it this way.

Just tried to purchase them and it is still giving me the payment can not be accepted message like it did when it glitched into existance at launch - also they arent showing the 1 slot one, only 2 and 5 - which isnt a real problem for me since i am going straight to 5 extra - have a back log of 15 arcs atm )

[ QUOTE ]
I can't get on either even though it says servers are up.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you watch that page long enough you will see them go down again - then up again - then down again - been watching it do that for like 15 min now.

Also, yes the updater is giving me the coh wep page not the mini page - but mine started doing that earlier today before the down time was even announced

So i went to get my new 5 mission slots for AE - they are listed in the store - but when i go to purchase them it says payment cannot be accepted for this item at this time - when will they be going live for purchase.

The only real way to stop them is to stop buying their services. If we all boycott the for-pay PLers and influence peddlers, they will dry up and blow away.

[/ QUOTE ]This will never happen because you cannot control other players. People will buy influence even under a boycott. Because people are dumb and impatient.

[/ QUOTE ]

I know the game well enough to know how to make money easily without having to buy it - but a real blow to the RMT would be if NCSoft offered micropayment cash themselves - they could make a fortune from it - i know it goes against thier intention of how the game should be played - but if its happening regardless might as well have them cash in on it - and they wouldn't be the first game with that sort of company based thing.

Also - has anyone found the actual card art? I would love to see a full color version of the cards - the tranclucent images look cool but to hard to make out details.

[/ QUOTE ]Do you mean the /em cardtrick cards, or the Fortune cards? The latter can be found here

[/ QUOTE ]

This is exactly what i was looking for ty )

Ok so i can see a way to still get away with a phonebooth kind of thing - requierments: you have to be infront of an ingame door - have the character run in the door then come out of the door a few moments later in costume - there are enough doors in the game that this wouldnt be to hard to pull off - plus as we all know if you camp out in front of a working door when you log back in it appears you just walked out of said door - this is just that mechanic taken to the next lvl.

Also - has anyone found the actual card art? I would love to see a full color version of the cards - the tranclucent images look cool but to hard to make out details.

Ok i am fine with waiting - my main point was really to see if anyone else had gotten it - and it seems other people who normally get it before me are in the same boat so i will wait. Its just i have been working on the major character overhauls in my build programs and plan on redoing 64 alts to get rid of that stupid precurser to travel power - my bases are overflowing with IO that i have been getting off the market for the rebuilds - I am just anxious to get started on it since even with my best planning its going to take a while to complete.

Er... the anniversary is the 28th. Getting the badge before then is a bug.

[/ QUOTE ]

It has something to do with something in my account i have had since beta - i checked with Customer Care the last badge i got when i saw the date for the 60 month and they confirmed it was a correct date for whatever reason, i know there are a few betas left out there that even get the badges before i do - was hoping one of them might have gotten it already.

So do you think it goes by my time zone or NCSofts time zone?

Ok so based on my NCsoft account today is the day i was suppose to get my 5 year badge - yet it hasn't been given and my petition to Customer Support is still pending - now i know there are other people who were set to receive this badge even before me, has anyone gotten it yet?

NOOOO!

Who do i have now to send paniced IM to everytime i have an ingame crisis - you best Global me at some point!

Yeah well lotta good it'll do ya. You get a code that's redeemable for one of the Booster packs.. if the pack ain't available.... *cries* I want it!!!!!!!!!

[/ QUOTE ]
Based on what the person who's picked up Architect Edition said, it sounds as though you get the Magic costume pieces as soon as you install it/redeem the code. I think the whole 'you can use the code for either one of the booster packs' thing may have been speculation, or there's some method of redeeming the code that bypasses the store and just lets you pick the Magic Booster straightaway.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe it only gives you the choice of which booster you want if you haven't already purchased the first one.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually no. I have no idea what would have happened if I had selected Cyborg since I already had it, but it gave me both options.

[/ QUOTE ]

wait wait wait... so if we buy the cyborg pack online right now, it will ASK us which one we want? So we can get the magic pack??

[/ QUOTE ]

No, if you find a store that got the architect pack in today and buy it there is a code that comes with it that lets you unlock 1 or the other (Cyborg or Magic)

[ QUOTE ]
Honestly, you know what would resolve all this? Green Dwarf, just put right there in the arc description: "You will not be able to complete this arc if you have no ranged attacks". Problem solved. Personally, I probably should have down rated to 4 for throwing a fight like that with no warning in the description, but he did warn me verbally before I ran it so I gave him a pass on it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I see no harm in disclaimers, but i would hardly say you CAN'T complete it without ranged - I know several tanks and even scrappers with the right build that probably could. I would go more with "Might be difficult for some to complete without ranged"

WARNING: DO NOT PLAY
Arc #2007, "The Green Brew"
tl;dr: 1 star. Offenses: Killer GM

Green Dwarf (author insert) needs you help in creating the perfect....

...beer.

That's probably worth at least four stars immediately from the frat members.

Your first stop is Oranbega, to retrieve some magical water from one of its springs. Guarding the place is "Sinadria", one of the Dwarf's exes, who spawned frontloaded. At first glance she looked like a Succubus EB but is actually a custom with a lookalike costume (well done), a Claws/Couldn'tTell. I ended up needing to use Elude as the fight got pushed into the next spawn down the corridor. This was a small map and the glowie spawned about in the middle.

Your next task is to retrieve some special barley from a Redcap-infested field in Croatoa. Upon entering the map the nav bar instructs you to find "Alsae", who turns out to be a Grain Nymph ally (Boss, Plant/Thorn). Rescuing her triggers the spawn of the real target, Redcap Boss Iron Heel. Unfortunately this means you have to grovel over a large outdoor map again, and even if you choose to ditch the ally your stealth is blown off. Upon completion Alsae gives you a sack of barley and "another present to remember her by", If You Know What I Mean.

The next ingredient is hops...from Praetorian Earth. The nav bar says "Find the Alpha Wolf and assert your dominance"....um....riiiiiight.... Taking him out triggers the spawn of EB "Loup-Garou", a Super Strength/Regen. Thanks to the current AI silliness the first thing he did was pop Instant Healing, meaning the first 60 seconds or so of beating on him just didn't count. After a effort roughly akin to felling the mightiest tree in the forest with a herring, he bought it.

Next up was a trip to Eden for yeast. You are warned to bring END insps and to stay out of melee range...nice thing to say to a Scrapper. I also noticed going in that this mission is level-locked to 50, which actually EXed me to 49. The objective target is, I kid you not, a gorram Blue Mitochondria. I did try to fight it but, as a Scrapper, that was just not happening. At this point I bailed out of the arc and one-starred it. If zero was an actual option I'd have used it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have to disagree with you on this one - I played this arc and had a blast! I was on my Dual/Regen Scrapper - all i had to do to the Mito was stay above him (i have fly) and used my Black Wand Vet power to kill him, his ranged attacks were not very powerful and with my Instant Heal he was dead long before its timer was up - the mission after the Mito was also great with a lot of suprise twists - i might suggest if you dont have one of the vet ranged attacks you try buying the revolver temp power - if your not in Melee he is a piece of cake! As for the loup-garou he was also easy and i am only lvl 42, his bio text was an amazing either legend or piece of fiction - whichever it was it read great!

I gave it 5 stars for creativity. wonderful flavor text (if you bothered to read it) and actually making me have to find creative solutions to the problem!

I just read the thing on the vote swapping - i would like to say i dont know Green Dwarf from Adam, nor do i know if he did any of my arcs or if he did what he rated them. I personally feel that review threads might be done with the best of intentions but they then cause people who might not be as strongly free willed to go into an Arc with an unfortunate bias or just want to be "cool" with some board poster. Normally i stay clear of them, only reason i saw this one was Posi posting in it and it just happened to be in response to a review of an Arc i very much like and put on my replay list to try with diffrent characters. I am thrilled some one as well known on the boards as Venture took the time to do something like this, but sadly for many Arcs that same recognition of the reviewer will mean an untimely death to them. Now i am not saying everyone is a sheep or anything like that, as some postings beyond mine in this thread already prove, i am just saying it one thing to give a review but its another to have a big red "Do not Play" in the heading area.
