  1. So... let me get this straight... more free stuff since I planned to remain subscribed anyways?

    *Accolades: Mostly Done. Just need Geas o' the Kind Ones and Eye o' the Magus. And maybe Elusive Mind.
    *Alpha unlocked last night, work in progress.
  3. In the words o' the classic game Altered Beast, "Rise from your grave!"

    Congratulations to Amygdala gettin' 50 on'er ElecArmor/Dark Tank.

    Congratulations to Bramphousian gettin' 50 on Knuckle'Em.

    And congratulations to myself to gettin' 50 on my Elec/Storm Controller.

    My initial idea is that you pick a boss from the Lore class (ie Master Illusionist) and the signature powers will be summoning the Minions and Lieuts from that lore class (Strongman and Illusionist).

    I am not sure if they'll go for it since we already have Lore Pets.
    I think if they were goin' to do this, they would've followed through with Blood of the Black Stream and Coralax.

    Which I still think they should do. Along with Shivan and Rulu-Shin.

    CoX Bucket List?

    What I consider a Bucket List is a list o' things that I haven't done yet, versus some things I've accomplished and some things that I haven't. The vast majority o' the accomplishments in this game for me are levelin' up a character, IOin' it out, and gettin' its accolades and Incarnates. With that in mind, my next items are:

    * Finish my Elec/Storm controller to 50, IO, accolade, and Incarnate out with at least T4 Musculature.
    * Play a TW/WP brute.

    I think I saw an episode o' Heroes about that...

    Edit: I think for Clones, you'd have to make'em customizable, which currently isn't an option. Perhaps if that were given the green light and implented, then Clones could be somethin' feasible and functional.

    They'd be lesser powered versions o' you, maybe sort o' like Dr. Aeon's summons in the STF fight, they could have different powers/abilities. I don't know the specifics o' it, but I thought it would be nifty as they've touched on it in a few places.

    Bane is not bad. Bane is basically a "superior" Stalker IMO. It's not everyone's cup of tea. I enjoy Bane a lot but I usually use my Huntsman build for hard TFs and itrials.

    I mostly agree with this. I haven't tinkered with Crab or Huntsman mainly due to how impressed I was with Bane immediately after the level 24 respec, so I can't say how one fairs over the other with personal experience, but if you wanted a mainly melee character but still have some ranged attacks, those are available to Banes as well. I took Mace Beam and Mace Blast to have some options in situations where I may not be able to get into melee range. In fact, if it wasn't for Mace Beam, I wouldn't have nearly faired so well against that Marauder or Statesman EBs.
  9. Probably an unintended feature from this Known Issue:
    Costume Pieces

    The Sonic Vision Martial Arts Pack costume element is unavailable through Character creation.
    The Wisp Aura is currently not available to players. This will be resolved in a coming patch.
  10. Redside: Scirocco's entire Patron arc to include Project: DESTINY, and Operative Grillo's arc as well. I only recently did Grillo's arc, and I found the lore mentioned in it very interestin' in terms o' the Incarnates.

    Blueside: I've always been a big fan o' mythology and folklore, so Croatoa is a zone that I always try to get myself through. And while I avoid Dr. Quaterfield, I do enjoy the different beast that is the Shadow Shard and the story behind it, even though whats available is threadbare and minimal at best.

    The current dev team has made comments that suggest they like the way the EATs are tied to the game world, but also have no plans to add new ones. That's not to say that won't change at some point in the future.
    I remember briefly hearin' about the Coralax a long time ago, and it's even mentioned here in the Wiki, as you said, and I had completely forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder.

    And there's still Dr. Quaterfield. Good times, good times.

    By that, I mean I want to punch Baby Raptor Jebus in the face immediately after finishin' a Dr. Q.

    EDIT: I think the shortest time I've ever heard mentioned on Champion was three and a half hours, and I was very impressed with that.

    Keyes' time requirement has been reduced as some o' the redundancy in the terminals was removed, along with other significant changes. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw these happenin' far more often once people realize this and get over their cultured aversion to it.

    I saw somethin' posted about this twice in one week over the last month, and I went to look at one specifically. It was the Blood of the Black Stream, and I was somewhat surprised I had never heard o' it. Then again, I wasn't the greatest redside player either, so that's why I wasn't wholly shocked by it. That aside, I asked this question on Facebook durin' a Freedom Friday session, and was told that this was mentioned durin' a recent UStream. The answer I also received was that it wasn't bein' looked at for development any time in the near future. Whether or not this means that some other AT could be in development, sure it's possible, but for sure BotBS is not.

    What I mean is, can you copy and paste from the game here?
  20. Those target dummies aren't the best as they don't register damage unless its a crit from what I've noticed, or a KB affect. And if you tried it on the level 35ish Rikti outside the base that you can basically one shot as a level 50 or 50+1, you might only get a single tick before the target dies.

    That's a quick fix, but the Target window isn't affected by it, and if you check your settings themselves, they don't actually change. The scrollers for color stay to their bugged settings.
