  1. Ah!

    My only complaint with the Booster Pack has now been resolved, good decision Devs.

    Now go back and re-think capes and normal auras please...a few basic selections should be available at level 1.
  2. Well, Freespec with I13 is pretty guaranteed.

    yay?

    It may just be that I deal with Remote Control programs all day at work, but I am not that impressed. You can do the same thing with any Windows Mobile based device, or even VNC from a Linux box. Probably a client for Palm too, VNC is very portable over platforms.

    I'm not very impressed with you being unimpressed. It's not very impressive that you work with Remote programs all day either. But that could just be because I sit on the forums all day long at work and see many worthless post that never needed to be made.

    I'd have to agree the tone of his post left a lot to be desired, but he's making a reasonable point that this isn't inherently some magic iPhone goodness. This can be done with any device that can run VNC (which is a ton) that has decent resolution and connectivity. That said, *I* still think it's pretty nifty.

    I know. But as you said the snobby tone left much to be desired.

    It is a nifty idea..so nifty in fact it may overpower my lazy'ness and make me attempt it.

    Means it won't get purged from the boards when they run maintenance. If threads are inactive for x days/weeks/months/ the get deleted. Maked to save keeps them no matter what.

    Nice move NC^2.

    Will this mean freespecs on test that were previously a big fat NO WAI SIR!

    More options = great!

    Not sure I'll ever use it, but knowing it's there is the bees knees.

    10$, yeah pricey IMO, 6.99 seems a fair price point.

    Pssssst!

    You forgot the , , or at the end of your post.
    Because you can't be serious.

    You're not, right?!?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Hard to tell P_F is always like this.

    Just a guess, but *if* P_F is serious, I'd wager that it's because villain only players will always have less Vet slots than Heroes.

    Regardless, fantastic!

    6 free for me, and I won;t have to spend any cash upfront for i12, hell I almost want to give them some money for all the awesome as of late. May buy 5 slots that I don;t need as a thanks.

    Shenanigans!

    /tinfoilhat

    This is clearly a way of distracting the forumites away from the slots announcement!














    and it worked!

    1) Why did it take until today for a post about this to be made?
    2) How can inconsistencies with what is described and what people are experiencing be explained? For example, people are reporting that many of the TF spawns have two bosses even for 4-man teams. In a standard map, two-boss spawns are limited to 8-man teams.
    3) Changes of this nature are inappropriate to fall under your "we don't talk about exploits" rule. This should have been in the test server patch notes. While it does address something you consider an exploit, it does so in a way that clearly impacts ordinary players (permanent loss of teammates on TFs is very common). There was a patch note mentioning that snake eggs weren't worth XP any more. This change was more deserving of mention.
    4) If point 3 above is due only to "misplaced" patch notes, whatever you (collectively) are doing to generate patch notes blows. It is attrocious! Worse, this clearly couldn't have gotten any focused testing because people don't normally run TFs on the test server. As a result not only did it not get any "air time" it didn't get any testing by the playerbase - something you guys have made a point of using to improve the quality of your releases. How this could not only missed as a patch note but no one internally realized it hadn't been player tested completely escapes me.

    The NCNC team has done a lot to improve my faith in them based on what I consider improvements in past processes and final product. However I consider the handling of this change a real backslide to old (poor) quality.

    Quote worthy...

    As others mentioned TF/SF really need to be given a once over now.

    1. Some are waaaay to long.
    2. Some require way to many people to start.
    3. Some just are not fun.

    I understand that these are suppose to be "hardkore" content, all I can say to that is "Com'ooonnn...come'onnn..."

    Also, I saw LH's "it's a bug" post. It happened, not minutes later LH deleted his post. I almost want to kill myself for agreeing with P_P, but her lastest thread on spreading to thin...may be correct..

    *gun to mouth*

    I am one of those people that don't care about xp but do care about content.

    Do we have any idea when/if missions that aren't story arcs will make it to flashback? A lots of the cool and unusual missions are offered to you after you complete a story arc.

    I am glad about the xp smoothing, not glad about the xp boost.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Anything can be made Flashback, but the "completed" star checks for A) Souvenir clue or B) the Badge. If we did missions that were not Story Arcs and not Badged, then they would never show complete.

    That said, I have no problem doing this if you guys don't. Just let me know what missions you want on Ouroboros and I will do my best to get them there.

    Nice compilation NP. And to the PvP community as a whole, awesome work getting it put together.

    As I have mentioned, my PvP involvement is slim, but I see many things in these lists that would encourage me to participate more.

  17. I have a question for you Reds...

    Why now?(referring to the numbers being given to us)

    Why, after all this time of people clawing and screaming for something like this, why now give it to us?

    Did it have to do with split from Cryptic?

    Just curious..

    Thanks!

    I just move away from the portal. I mean, it is a giant super thingy gizmo after all.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Sure, but, the audio of the portal plays while you are loading into the zone/mission or whatever.

    I too mash my mute button when near these things.

    I didnt' see any CoV specific stuff in there, heck I didn't even see CoV mentioned in there!

    Clearly the Devs hate CoV.
