Asmodean or Elyos?

No. You should be giddy with excitement after having found so obvious a flaw.

I hardly ever PvP. I'm complaining. Not a PvP Junkie.

I don't think you know how to farm IO's. Not sure you know what a challenge is besides trying to alienate the entire player base. That one you seem to be rising to admirably.

Welcome back, Trollvine. How are your SG only costume contests going? Respond, please if only to give me more ammunition.

I'm on the west coast. The lag was atrocious last night. And I had just upgraded to a Quad core and a 4850 1 gig video card. So it's not from sheer processing or lack of a good video card.

OMGLULZ - Stalkers at Con! XD

How late is your school?

Yeah yeah. Rest of the thread would have explained I already came to that conclusion.

So you're coming?

I logged onto test just to look at the coloring options. I didn't get people together and form teams. I saw that coloring was cool and logged off happy in that knowledge and content to wait for i16 to be officially released so I wouldn't respond to it with, "Been there. Done that."

I like the releases themselves to express newness to me. Not test. Let me try to 'test' something only to have to do it all over again. Just a matter of preference I guess.

Just out of curiosity have the TF requirements changed at all?
And what's wrong with playing matchmaker? I and most people I know didn't really have issues with this. So it's a fix to something that I didn't need fixed?

I'm not trying to be argumentative however it just seems strange and IMHO not really necessary.

Since I've now spent more time with it, every time I zone, I'm required to reaffirm that I want to be Exemplar'ed or SK'ed. What happens if my team zones or I zone and D/C? I only have 30 secs and if I'm on a TF did I just lose because there was a network hiccup?

Just extra things I'm seeing.

Bonuses so far, I can be SK'ed to someone and be in a totally different zone from them and then can solo things I normally wouldn't be able to.

i.e. if my friend invites me to a team while they are level 6 in KR and I enter the sewers on my level 1, I can now solo the sewers because I'm still SK'ed even though I'm across zones.

Odd.

No it is a fair point to make, and I'm not upset at all for you playing devil's advocate.

However I still don't see the problem with PL'ing in all honesty.
What difference does it make if I want to PL a toon?
Who really wants to play all 50 levels of a bubbler. I did, and I was bored quite often.

So seeing as some ice and fire animations are almost identical, wouldn't it be just as silly to say someone couldn't tell what that was because of the color changes?

I'm not sure it matters, if you're paying attention to buffs/debuffs/etc, it's going to show up on the bar to the left. There's no reason for it to stay one color and not change.

So you can't tell that RA has gone down because it's no longer blue and green?

Silly reasons IMHO.

Epic's and pools I'm good with waiting for. Not allowing me to customize the entire set AIM/BU is just silly.

Only way you can stop it is to put up all sorts of flagging systems to try to automatically monitor behavior that you want stopped and then have that monitoring system alert a GM. That would of course require ridiculous amounts of effort and would have the playerbase asking why the devs were acting like big brother on a game they pay to play.

Finally, it would lead to players giving them the finger and leaving. Devs Farming is going to happen. Realize it. Don't release borked systems that you don't think through. You have actual competition now. Remember that.

Depending on your definition of farming, farming will always happen. The kind people think is horrible, the kind people find mildly acceptable and the kind the badgers use almost daily.

This game is a game and it's meant to be fun. What you find to be fun may be different than the rest. Elf likes to 'pawn' people in PvP. Ping enjoys market flipping and being ... well.. Ping. I've been 'Ping'ing the market myself and if you all want the thing so damn bad, I guess you'll pay the price to have it.

PvP is 'less' fun in my opinion than it used to be seeing as originally PvP was fast, furious and exciting and now is kinda boring and slow. Right. Super Heroes and Villains move slow in combat. SRSLY?! Who the hell thought that was a good idea? Let's look at ANY comic book movie in the past however and they bastards are FLYING and RUNNING and MOVING and wow, fighting at the same time. Hell, they're probably chewing gum too. I had a toon that was slotted for speed in PvP and now it just seemed so nerfed when I came back.

I had more to say and then I realized that i16 while not letting me log in is letting me create a new character with the new system.

I must go NAO, BAI.
