Captain_Intrepid

I haven't seen any signs of the Zombie Appocalypse on Champion today, only ToTing....

Still only getting minor Enhancements, I see that hasn't been fixed since the two test sessions.

I find it interesting that when I click on a mission door during ToT near a mission, my character sometimes enters the mission itself. Even if it was across the street and down the road.

This was happening in the Cap au Diable zone (I wonder if extended testing, rather than a few hours/test would have helped to catch this bug?).

Double XP for 'being on patrol'.....

I'm probably the only one who doesn't care for double XP. I'm glad that with Ouroborus we can work on the missions that the characters may end up missing out of when Double XP events happen.

But this will make things more chronic for those who want revisit characters they haven't played in a while.

If there are future Double XP weekends, does that mean those who are 'On Patrol' will earn quadruple the amount of XP?

I like being able to max out the bar for contacts, but with all of this extra XP I'd be lucky to be able to get to be able to call in for missions in CoH before having to move on to the next contact.

But I'm just going to be in the minority (probably the only one), so don't mind me

Other than that, Day Jobs is shaping up to be looking good.

I esp. love the costume pieces that are currently showing up in the costume creator. Many kudos to Jay and the gang

1. They all got looked at by Posi, Castle, and minion. Datamined which ones were taken and which were ignored. Buffs, nerfs, and power replacements!

2. If powers are replaced, when you log in, you'll have the new power. No grandfathering.

3. About 20% of the A/EPPs were replaced.

4. As one example of the Epic/Patron changes, Castle mentions that Weapon Mastery for Scrappers will now include Focused Accuracy. If his memory is correct.

Hmmm. No 'grandfathering'? I remember hearing that term, but I'll need a quick refresher course.

I wonder if this'll mean that if we don't like the replacements, we'll have to 'respec' them. Would be nice if this means we'll get a free 'spec with this update.

Ohm?

Meditative chant or electrical resistance?

What I'd like some clarity on is a statement by Castle where he says the powers will be just like they were in PVE, and in PVP enabled zones they will have a nerfed performance.

My question is if a given power that only buffs me gets a PVP nerf, does that mean when I go to a PVP Zone for PVE reasons (Shivans, Nukes, RV prestige hunting) that my powers are similarly nerfed?

This might be a serious issue with some folks who love their APPs.

I'd love to make such a statement for you, but it'd be a lie. The changes for APPs/PPPs are more widespread.

The basic tack we took was "if the power is not being taken by the players, replace it with something that is." So, a number of formerly heroside only powers are now available on villainside, and a number of powers have been replaced by something we feel will be more useful in general.

I'll be very interested in seeing the reactions to the new lists in Beta.

As for the PVP zones, yes, doing PVE content there will be harder.

I have a bad feeling about this....

What's wrong with you? Give to charity by respec'ing and give all your stuff to @Greed!

It could be a tumor!

Ok, I went back to the TR, and the cyborg pack option's not showing for a new character, going to see if I could use it on a pre-existing one.

When I had the Live game up at the same time as the TR one, the first time around, everything was ok, until I logged off of the TR. The screen went black for the non-UIs in the Live server, like it spread.

Going to try to load it up again to see if it's still messed up.

I bought it for one of my accounts, and it's not showing up for my characters on that account.

Edit: After an hour and a half, it seems the code kicked in. The screen went to black for the character I was going to try the new costume parts on. Only the UIs were visible.

I logged off of TR and logged onto Live and everything's ok.

Talking on a phone with the speaker on helps boost the effectiveness of TeamSpeak and Ventrillo. Best to do that while on a TF or SF.


The Ultra-Secret, Well-Hidden, Known to a Select Few Zone, Faerieland, is unlocked by defeating 50 player characters who have Fairy Wings while in the Arena. A good reason to use the Arena feature!
