Bill Z Bubba

Finduilas,

Looks like the answer is no, there's no point.

If you did the event last year, you can avoid talking to Ganymede/Scratch completely and go straight to DJ Zero.

Course not. The fear was added to increase the damage mitigation of the fiery aura set.

I've got a fire/ tank and a /fire brute. I'm fine with the change.

I like rev 1 better...

They both rock... but number 1 seems.. cooler.

I wish my 22nd try at drawing Bill was nearly that clean. Nice.

Awesome. Thank you very much, Thessalia.

Heh... dig your avatar.

Sweet. Thanks, Piepgrass. This weekend I'll try to find someone with her mission and get some more.

Oh hell's bells... does anyone have a good screenshot of Lilutu?

Ok... guess I know where part of my income tax return is goin....

Graver and DaosX, PMs will be coming after I get some screenies, story and ducks in a row.

Thanks to everyone.

Would yall be up for that?

Hmm...a collab with Graver? Sounds tricky (with such different styles)...but definitely wouldn't miss the opportunity.

Once we get a buy in from Graver, I'll take it to PMs and we can work on the specifics.

Take the game as it comes and instead of complaining about what you don't have enjoy what you do.

You know what I do when I'm REALLY pissed off about the crappy performance, the bugs, the constant whining of crashes (that I never see,) the inability to exit buildings, the random 50% drops in performance exiting missions when teamed, the incompatibilities with ATI's drivers, the base kick bug, the COMPLETE lack of communication from Cryptic regarding all of the above, etc, etc, etc?


I log in, turn on hide and ghide, turn off showfps and netgraph, and solo my scrappers and brutes.

The cause of my stress is also my escape from said stress.

Now THAT'S ironic.

The tweaks are really nice, Graver... but now you got me thinking...

Would yall be up for that?

Graver, I have long loved your work, and you were one of the ones I thought of first, specifically because of your Heaven and Hell piece, so you're definitely in the running.

My only criticism of your work at all has been the colors. While gorgeous, I'm concerned they wouldn't be "in my face" enough, if that makes any sense.


Jtran218's stuff also jumped out at me when I was using Rowr's page for a artist hunt last month. His Rowr "Queen of the Mountain" piece fits the bill mostly, but is lacking Graver's ability to capture madness.

Wish I had 1/10th of yall's talent, and I'd give it a go myself.

Wow... vexiphne's digital art is rather striking... but not crazed. I need crazed.

Hey yall. I don't have the time/energy to learn how to draw, so I'm seeking out another commission.

I've loved the work I've gotten so far (Thanks to Celtic_Bolt, Brandon McKinney and Starchasm) but there's one piece that's been stuck in my head that I need done before closing this particular chapter:

What I see is Bill on top of a mound of CoT bodies inside of Oranbega, with the body of Lilutu sliding off his arm as he had just impaled her with his talons, right through the abdominal wall, severing the spine.

Yea, it's gotta be that graphic. Lots of blood, lots of gore, the entire image needs to scream madness and chaos.

Any takers? Ideas on who I should pursue?

Oh - and I'd love to do a giant mech game. Love it.

Well then get the rights to the Mechwarrior franchise since you're in with Microsoft and GET BUSY!

I've been waiting for a Mech MMO since the term MMO came into being.

Link's dead?

Something tells me you've been getting way too many PMs on this

[/ QUOTE ]

That, and I'm getting cranky in my dottage. :P

[/ QUOTE ]

But now that you've come out and said, "no way, at this time, ya damn, dirty apes!!!" we can sit back and relax about it.

Then you can datamine and fix it at your leisure. (liesure?... nope... leisure. Stupid i before e except after c... and in words like leisure...)

Well played.

Yet another reason not to load Vista. Please post if this is ever corrected in the tech forum.

I don't know, man... you'd figure a guy who named himself after a pretty ingenious chess manuever could come up with something better than a pun.

Although, puns are like coke. They're a tough habit to kick.

Ingenious ???

I'm thinking chess isn't your strong suit

What on earth is wrong with using a single move to:

A: Get your rook into play
B: Protect your king
C: Gain center board dominance

?


Oh nm... I'm too late.

NERF SHIVANS AND NUKES AND LRSF HEROES!!!!

A nice guide. Good reasoning behind your choices.

Bill Z Bubba is a claws/sr and he also skipped eviscerate and spin.

I do slot Shockwave 1acc/1rec-red/1end-red/3dam and I fire it off anytime I'm facing more than 1 individual. The group damage adds up FAST.

At 50, I still took swipe over strike. It isn't used very often, but I love having it for when an enemy is down to a sliver of health and is great at demoralizing them as they fall.

Also, Swipe is far sexier, both looking and sounding, than strike.

Thanks to Quickness from SR, and Dark Mastery, my current normal single target attack chain is:

DarkBlast, Followup, Focus, Slash, Air Superiority. I can cycle those 5 indefinitely.

Due to the odd animation speed up for the 2nd attack after the redraw, the slight pause after Followup is negated using this chain.

..You make this stuff too hard sometimes Arcana. I know you enjoy it and the intellectual exercise it presents, but The_Gamemaster could trivially fix this problem. Maybe it won't be perfect, but cripes we don't need perfect...

Fixed that for you...

It's a good thing I'm insufferably arrogant. I wouldn't survive around here for long otherwise.

Wow... I've more in common with EG than I thought.

I understand, EG, I really do.

But you understand what I'm saying, too, I think.

[/ QUOTE ]

Of course. But you have to understand, that I just want MoG not to be broken. It could still suck. An extra build up with a heal attached would make me happy as a clam.

[/ QUOTE ]

Roger that, man. Oddly, I'd like the same for SR. Buff the toggles and passives and nerf heck out of elude. I'd be giddy with delight.

I understand, EG, I really do.

But you understand what I'm saying, too, I think.
