  1. I wanted to use the sleeveless lab coat, but using robotic arms 2 in order to use the steampunk upper arms means no jackets allowed. Anyway, my take on him. Thought about a bare head with blast goggles but decided that would be leaving a squishie body part exposed.

    NOTE: I started the BaseBuildersInc. channel on test.

    Re: I13: Unofficially - very unofficially - Talek asked about bases in this issue last night at the M&G. The answer we got back was this:

    The devs had planned out a nearly complete rebuild of bases, something they thought was going to be really sweet, and that we'd just love. The built it, it was ready - and then they started play testing with it, and it just sucked great big rocks. Worse than what we've got now, was my understanding.

    No time to redo it before this issue, so they ripped everything out except for "the new way things are bought." There may be a few small things left in otherwise, but my understanding is that the remains amounts to "not much."

    Now please understand that this is a very, VERY unofficial and incomplete bit of information. I'd very much like to try and get Posi or poshy in here to give us official and complete information, along with a statement of "Yes, we're still trying, we're working on a new design, keep hanging in there." However, I don't know if we're going to get that.

    Sorry, folks.

    Any truth to this rumor from the base construction forum?
  3. Thought I'd give it a go. Kind of shied away from the black that cenobites seem to prefer, though.

    So they're releasing a welding powerset on Tuesday?
  5. Relax, everybody. he's just having a custom playpen built for Bab's baby, Baby Bawler (Sonic/Spit Up blaster).It will be patterned after a hamster habitat and have tunnels running all through the house with a large play area in each room.
  6. Will they let you change the background color? All that white is pretty harsh on the eyes.
  7. I would prefer similar appearing costume parts that I can use on my characters and set the colors on, myself. But I do understand a lot of folks have been wanting this and other of the halloween temp costumes. Be patient, as soon as they get enough people jumping up and down and offering to throw money at them they will toss 2 or 3 of them into a 9.99 pack for you.

    Now I'd have a problem if they started charging for each new character creation, but thats not what they're doing.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yet, but when they have used enough little stuff to get people trained to pay for the tings they want then they will start charging for the bigger stuff too.
  9. So what's next? Charge real money at Icon or to ride the tram? Maybe hit up the players' credit cards for real money to pay base rent? Maybe a surcharge to post at the forums?
  10. Recluse--"Hey. What's a five letter word for 'The one that didn't win', third letter is an 's'?"
  11. I've read the announcement and am left wondering something about the 51 month reward. While it does say the helms will be offered as the reward it does not say that you will have access to all of them with the same account. I hope they are since I already have the one from my pre-order but would like a couple of the others for other characters. Thing is, I'm kind of thinking that when you claim the reward you might be given a list to choose from like with the temp powers, and the one you choose will be applied to your account, possibly overwriting any you might already have. Has there been any official word on how this will work?

    I've been attempting to contact the City Scoop. I have a base I'd like to submit for consideration in the Base Showcase article.

    Both of my PMs have gone unanswered.

    Sorry for the delay, reply sent. You jerk!

    Fixed.



    I keed I keed.
  13. Are you talking about the preset tuxedo costume option? It uses normally available pieces. If you're talking about the fancier tie and tails versions, then some type of bug has let you access them.

    I am extremely let down by the storyline of the VEATs... no new experiences, no new enemies... one mission - wait till 5, 2 missions - wait till 10, unbelieveably boring and poorly designed.

    This is a major major let down in my opion as this game has some amazing storylines and arcs in it and the lackluster performance on the part of the devs makes me sad.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    The later arcs are pretty good actually.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    A moot point if the early levels don't hold peoples' attention long enough to get there.
  15. Nicely done and informative, but being a Virtue player I feel obligated to say something about the 4th wall so...something.

    Yay! My corruptor made it in! Might have to make him on Virtue now that he's been immortalized.

    I remember the prelude to them being introduced to the game, when you'd see them exploring in small landing parties scanning the zones with those creepy eyeballs.

    Don't forget the neverending chain holds! I think the old Rularuu invasion was more fun than the current Rikti invasions, even with the chain holding.
  17. Seems like a waste of time, resources, and bandwidth to me. I imagine most of the chatterbox types that go for this sort of thing are already using programs so they can do it, so I don't see the need for adding this.
  18. I made it in and caught the last half hour or so. Arachnos has apparently fallen on hard times since there were so many short little crab spiders wandering around. Has Recluse had to resort to recruiting members from grade schools?
  19. Base disappearing bug needs to be fixed.

    Advanced Database does not appear on any of the menus of any worktable I put in a 1x2 workroom.

    Let us at least put wall and ceiling items in the doorway sections, with possible exception for those that hang down from the ceiling and may cause pathing blockage.

    Let people that want to use thier bases for pvp have them flagged for pvp and bases that are not flagged for pvp not have to follow raid pathing rules. If a group wishes to later flag thier base for pvp then they will not be able to set the pvp flag until raid pathing rules are met.

    What can I say, Barbara Eden was hot!

    Yep! Even though they wouldn't let us see her belly button. Jeannie, Elly May Clampet, and Mary Ann. The top three reasons to watch TV back in the days of yore!

    I can see where the other poster is coming from, though. Someone that just ripped off a design from an old TV show is rewarded over those that took the time and effort to come up with thier own original designs. Kind of lame. Copycats shouldn't even be allowed to enter contests, but that's just my opinion.

    It IS recommended that you figure it out first, before trying to proclaim a new thread about anything. Blindly posting whatever 'seems good to you'

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I must have been typing too quietly again.

    Post as seems good to you. Let the rest sort it out.

    Storage per byte is actually very cheap now.

    Not when I'm reading the same damn idiotic "gotta have x and y" threads every week. It takes up MY time, and yours, and everyone else's. When there are already good, well thought out and complicated threads about the subjects, bringing up whatever often can or needs to be brought up... Why do it AGAIN?

    Why not just DO what the forum rules SUGGEST you do? And what those 20 people suggest? And what all other forums I've ever, ever been on suggest? Search first. Post after you've searched. That will make the OP wise enough to post something DIFFERENT.

    I do like it when there's something slightly tweaked - but the truth is that most if not all the "unique twists" have been brought up after months of arguing about the same thing, "I looked at this thread and the other and realized if you did z and d things, you'd have this other result what do you think of that?"

    That's a worthy thread in the making. But one which is simply put NOT researched whatsoever.... will almost always be shot down because it will fall into the long-lamented "why didn't you search for that, it's brought up every other day" routine.

    Somebody holding a gun to your head forcing you to read each and every thread or something? Why read them at all? Just look at the title, roll your eyes, and skip it and your time won't be wasted. If people would just skip the repeat posts and not feel obliged to reply with some flippant comment or demand that all posters do things a certain way, then it wouldn't take long for them to scroll away into the forum's nether regions, never to be seen again.

    What is with you people's twisted desire to beat up, shoot, stab, burn, and electrocute women? Did you never get over your High School sweetie dumping you? Did your father beat you as a child? Did your mother ignore you? Seek some therapy. Seriously.

    You've obviously never met my ex sister in-law. Consider yourself lucky.
