Desmodas, damn that looks good.

Quote:Good to know, thanks.From a redname: As of tonight on Test during Winter Event 2009 testing, Ghost Falcon said that the plan was to have a separate test server for the initial Going Rogue Closed Beta. The normal Training Room would remain open for the usual uses, and for testing bugs and patches to Live, at first. At some later point it would progress to the main Training Room server(s) as with a normal issue.
Guesswork: This may well be handled similarly to the Mac Client test. If one takes his comment about making off with TR02 literally, and they haven't upgraded it, it's going to be a bit on the weak side once things crank up; my recollection is that TR02 is substantially less beefy than a live server or the main TR.
This also implies that they're less obliged to wait until after the winter event to start GR CB; it's in fact possible that they're already running it for internal purposes.
Disclaimer: YMMV, void where prohibited, plans do not survive contact with the enemy, we have met the enemy and he is us. It makes sense that they'd do it this way, and it seems like it's their plan, but I'd be careful about making any complex plans based on Test nevertheless. -

Quote:It will probably be on the test server, like all the other Betas so far. Unless they decide to do something different. lolCan anyone tell me and anyone else that may be wondering how we get into this closed beta once we are able to? Is it just a matter of logging in and having the option? Or is it all on the test server?
Your closed beta access is basically flagged on your account, I believe, so when you log onto the test server it tells you whether or not you are allowed in. -

There is an intermediate step, yes. In that stage you can visit the other side and team up with the natives.

Quote:Ya got me! lolThat's rather ironic...
semantics
noun (used with a singular verb)- Linguistics.
- the study of meaning.
- the study of linguistic development by classifying and examining changes in meaning and form.
- Also called significs. the branch of semiotics dealing with the relations between signs and what they denote.
- the meaning, or an interpretation of the meaning, of a word, sign, sentence, etc.: Let's not argue about semantics.
Honestly wasn't trying to start an argument. Whether some hero or other does or does not know martial arts was what I was replying to.
Someone else thinks that is related to the fact that even though most ninjas are natural, not all "naturals" are ninjas.
Two separate things. - Linguistics.

Quote:Or it's actual definition?semantics of "martial" in its broadest and most generic meaning.
dictionary.com:
adjective
1. inclined or disposed to war; warlike: The ancient Romans were a martial people.
That is not semantics, that's what the word means. Hence the phrase "martial law", etc.
Again, the ONLY thing I meant by that is that combat training you learn during warfare is technically martial arts. Most armed forces in the US are taught the basics of Jiu Jitsu, even if they don't call it that. It's nothing to get upset about, honestly. I apologize for the misinterpretation. -
Quote:No, you overreacted to my response to the rather bizarre implication that Batman and Daredevil do not know martial arts. So does Nick Fury.Since I wasn't sure specifically which he/she meant, I addressed both the narrative and semantic implications of his/her remark. My conclusion still stands:
They don't wear ninja robes or anything, no. I'm not saying all "natural" people should dress like ninjas, nor do I really care if you hate the booster or not. Carry on, sir. -

Quote:Batman and Daredevil are both martial arts. :/I heard Nick Fury is looking for you. Something about needing to kick your butt...
Seriously though, there are tons of "Natural" flavored heroes out there in different canons. Ever hear of a little character from the early 20th century--now mostly forgotten--called Batman? How about Daredevil? Yeah he had sonar-like senses, but beyond that, all natural. All the Watchmen but one were naturals. Most merc, agent and superspy characters are natural including Brock Sampson and that femme fetal Molatov. There are oodles of "natural" options conceptually. This could have been turned into the Rob Liefeld Memorial Pouches Everywhere Pack, but alas... not a hip pouch in sight. Nor a single detail that echoes the profound coolness that the Knives of Artemis get to sport everyday and flaunt in our general direction--such as knife holsters around boots and hip holsters for guns. I won't even go into back details. We've been waiting--some of us--literally for years now for those. I REALLY SINCERELY hope GR finally includes a back detail costume slot.
*sigh* Regardless, I bought it, but I am on the disappointed bandwagon for this costume pack. I have one character, an egomaniacal Moleman and his army of ninja servants that may make good use of some of these costume bits. And I have a FEW other characters that will use the ninja run regularly, one because he looks good with it. The others because it gives them the acrobatic flair when jumping that I always envisioned for them. And the costume change emotes are good alternatives for theatric characters and vigilantes. But this pack really doesn't have the broad appeal for me that even the odd bits and totally repurposable pieces of the Super Science Booster.
Martial means war-like, so Nick Fury applies, as well. Unless you think he has no combat training. -
Are we talking "Jack Baur torture" evil, or "Kill Edith Killer and make sure WWII happens" evil? lol

Quote:Yes, but villains were kind of annoyed by that, weren't they?"Coral club and Elder knife...not sure if both sides have access to those villain groups. They're too signature to no have as unlockables."
Cross faction rarity didnt stop you from making the red cap daggers an unlockable.
I don't see citing precedent for a mistake as a compelling reason to repeat it, honestly.
Going Rogue will probably make this a moot point anyway, though... -
