Quote:Good point, Ship Raids will be awesome now! Hosping will no longer kill your sidekick.Originally Posted by Zombie_Man
This is a real boon for mothership raids in that it'll take only 10 level50s to SK up an extra 70 players regardless of their level.
OTOH, a level1 SK'd-up to level49 isn't going to do much v. the EBs.
OTOH, only level35+ can do Levantera's arc and get Vanguard Merits, so, it would be perfectly fine for any raid team leader to only accept level35+ players. (And without Vanguard Merits... no Vanguard unlockable weapons or costumes.)

I like the fact that there's no more SK 'tether.' Now when SKed to someone you won't spontaneously die when your mentor is halfway across the map. Not like I know anyone who does that!

Juggling teams gave it some illusion of difficulty.
It is not hard to discriminate against archetypes. I think of a challenge as doing something with the team that you have, instead of putting together a perfect team and steamrolling it.
More luck than skill, IMO.Quote:Originally Posted by SilentZoe
Making a good team was something of a skill.
Well, skill at arranging who you are lucky enough to have, at any rate.
Furthermore, this build offers implications that you have not considered, I think. You have even more criteria to be discriminate in your team selection. You can say you'd rather have the tank that is high enough level to have taunt, for example.
The people that want to have PUGs now have more options, and the others have the same options as before. Nothing of value was lost.

In fact, I'm probably going to resent the current build every time I play it.

Quote:getting sidekicked doesn't give you more powers, for one thing. So there's that.Originally Posted by SilentZoe
I'm.. unsure about this. I'll reserve full judgment until I see how it is implemented and how it effects the game.. but I have to wonder.. what is the point in having levels at all anymore? Isn't the Insta50 button the next step? I'm convinced this is the best thing ever.

Quote:you can get a rough idea by using oroborous. Start taking flashback misions in reverse order, and check which powers disappear. Quit flashback, repeat.Originally Posted by Zamuel
Review some things and it looks like I NEED to do the Tresparcial Trial. That said, is there any way to determine what order you took the powers you currently have?

Do you mean Hamster, or Satham?

Wow.

Quote:Well, I think the thing of it is, you don't get any random drops that you are more interested in selling than using while farming the AE. You get tickets that you trade in for more specific drops, but fewer I think. You don't get any random salvage at all unless you trade in some tickets for it.Originally Posted by Grey_Pilgrim
Why worse this weekend? Shouldn't things improve a tad until I16 comes out (that may actually help the AE problem, as people will be able to stack their regular missions... though maybe not, as you can do that for AE as well... maybe. If they're smart, they should only put that feature into regular missions, heh).

Quote:Given that those "only" 2 servers have a lot of people on them...they might even be the majority of subscribers...I can see the logic.Originally Posted by PeerlessGirl
Which does make one wonder why they'd need a queue system at all, given that only 2 of the servers are ever busy enough to need one (Virtue and Freedom) and then really only during DXP weekend, which yes, might fix the problems we had during the past DXP weekend. Let's just hope it doesn't lead to discussion of a massive serverless/mega-server environment, because..well it would suck. Some of us like the specfic makeup (more or less) of the server we're on...

Quote:The powers effects themselves can be recolored.Originally Posted by Caleb_Nokama
My thoughts exactly. I have no idea if I'll get in this one or not, but either way, I'm really excited to see this in its entirety.
Quick question on that; with things like DM/DA/etc dark powersets, are the 'dark' portions of the powers going to be re-colorable, or is it changes/selections to the available animations?
As far as I know, only Martial arts and Super Strength have complete alternate animations that you can choose from, and the secondary effects from those can be re colored, as well. -
I took my blaster from 48 to 50, and Amazingpurplefatman from 34 to 38.

Quote:What is the population ratio of those 2 servers, compared to the others?Originally Posted by Maynia
Mesuspects I'm not seeing something important here, but how is implementing a queue system that will get used on all of 2 servers out of 15 for about 10 days a year worth doing? O.o

...Sorry, couldn't resist.
On a side note, there are STILL more things that don't know about i16 that are coming, so it's possible that locking us out is only the tip of the iceberg. -
Quote:I believe the horse stance remains as the default option for MA...as of SDCC.Originally Posted by EvilRyu
I just got to know 1 thing. Did they change those Gawd awful assasin's strike animations for MA, DM and EM? If they did this then I am 100% satisfied with issue 16 unless there are some earth shattering nerfs.

Quote:There are at least 2 different sets of alternate animations.Originally Posted by macskull
Well, I could be wrong, but there's nothing in the character creator/powerset proliferation/animations that we haven't already seen. There's nothing to really test in the character creator.
-
Quote:Not only that, but you couldn't see the animations for every single power at the character creator before. Now you can.Originally Posted by Haggard4Life
Y'know, I'm kind of surprised they haven't tried to close off the character creator for previous closed betas, especially with powerset proliferation or new powersets. And especially now that we have access to Real Numbers during character creation. It might cause problems when we start complaining about powresets before they're ready to be seen by everyone. I think some of that happened with the Shields set.
This is probably one of those things where it's better not to see it getting made, like sausage or legislation or babies.
But I am a little sad I won't get to play with the power customization. -
Quote:Well, no disrespect intended, but I think it might have something to do with the fact that the character creation improvements are THE major feature of the new update. This is what they are trying to beta test, after all.Originally Posted by JKPhage
Well thanks for clarifying Castle, but that didn't "explain" anything. All you said was that you'd be instituting a server queue for when servers are full. That doesn't tell us why you chose to lock us out of character creation if we're not in beta. An actual explanation would be greatly appreciated, as like I said before, anyone at comic-con, COX player or no, could just waltz up to your booth and try it out. Everyone who's been around the forums has seen the videos of the color customization and alternate animations so it's not like you're hiding anything from us and frankly it's unfair. I want to see what a particular power would look like when colored to match my character, and see what sort of options we'll have available, but because I couldn't drop everything and fly out to San Diego for comic-con I'm apparently not special enough?
I'll say again, poor play, and on top of that no explanation.
[edit] Too slow, I guess.
