    This really. I did wait till 50s for that one, but still was bored.
  3. I watched the review and have read most of the replies and all of yours GKaiser.

    My views of the review:

    The presentation was unprofessional. I don't expect to see the reviewer in reviews, I expect to see the product. And if I do see the reviewer I expect them to be well turned out.

    I'm not going to go over the glaring errors in the review as you appear to have ignored everyone else who pointed them out but they were very misleading to the new player.

    In the end I felt it became a rant on what you expect from a game, rather than a commentary on what is there.

    On your forum posts:

    You appear to want the following:

    PvP, End Game Raids, Phat Loot and XP

    We all agree PvP in this game sucks and there isn't a huge End Game available. However, you have demonstrated you haven't tried the endgame that is there (Your assessment of the Mothership Raid is laughable.) As for Loot, enhancements are it at the moment and no one is going to sympathise with you if you want it NAO and can't get it.

    As for XP, this game is about the story and the leveling, not what you do when you get there. You keep saying no one can comment on whats comming in the future issues but are quite happy to comment on GR which you admit to not having played.

    But I can see you won't like GR as it does nothing for PvP and has no endgame yet and is only 1-20. The story and the mechanics are fantastic and I have stopped XP a couple of times to avoid missing arcs.

    In summary, not everyone wants the same things from a game as you. Fortunatly for us this game is aimed at those people. Enjoy WoW or whatever other F2P game you decide is more fun.

    But personally I think taking the Stealth pool just for LotGs would be a great loss, and not something I would do unless I REALLY needed those LoTGs.
    They could move them into the new powers freeing up the slot for something else.

    I'm ambivilant about this. Yup, will make things easier, but I was doing OK already. My MM will thank the Devs though. Couldn't take fitness as I had too many Power Pools already. Thats the biggest boon for me.

    Not 100% sure they always did. There were posts somewhere about there being bright clean show posters in Boomtown amongst the rubble. If they fitted the game style I'd be OK with it, but that would Jar.
  6. Bit late posting this here, but echoing Father Xmas' sentiments. I have many friends and family in Chch and fortunately everyone is OK. But seeing the photos of places I knew growing up have been tough. Best wishes everyone.
  7. Ugh... really... that is really annoying!

    ^This.... options on where you fire from would be awesome. However I could see how this could be a serious amount of animation work to look right. Otherwise ultimatly every power set could end up looking the same.

    I've not seen someone do it from their own after effects (although I've tried!) but it happens on teams a lot. I generally use Self Destruct if I'm close and then rely on the team mopping up to rez me.
  10. You can start one of the arcs from the other side, you need to talk to Washington. He's not introduced to you, but will talk to you.

    RSI?

    I hit reply to the last one I used. Then my name is always right.
  12. What a pillock. It's just not cool. Hopefully the BBC can take him for breach of contract.

    Posts here have indicated this isn't the case in Praetoria.

    I'm not sure what you are saying by posting that quote from Castle... So they made a change to IO's and gave a freespec and advance warning. Are you saying that you didn't get it? Or that you have BoTZ on every build on every toon and don't have any Vet Specs spare to help you out?
  15. I recently upgraded from a standard sory ericson (worst phone I've ever used) phone to a smartphone (HTC Desire) and love it. Yeah, charging it every day is a pain, but it's just a USB cable so can plug into a computer anywhere.

    The ability to use it as a diary and an MP3 Player makes my pockets lighter and the ability to use GPS makes getting around London tons easier.

    My contract is the same price as with a normal phone though, just locked into 2 years not 18 months.

    I can't advise you on the specific phones you are looking at, but they are only a waste of money if you aren't going to make use of it.
  16. Can you log out and get the day job version?

    Ahh, yes. There is a bug that causes issues with the emotes, something to do with the <> I believe. There is a workaround pasted above to do with bind loads.

    What are you trying to bind? I've use the NUMPAD keybinds which lets me control the different tiers individually or the whole lot at once depending on which keybind set is loaded.

    Umm, big call there... Ever was a pretty long time. Sure, when it happens in 35 years or so no one will remember this post, but still...

    Right, so use the transfer system to take your character over.

    The issue with a character COPY is multiple copies of all the items and INF would be created allowing you to keep a copy of that purple (heck, why not 5 copies!) and also sell it.

    How Rubbery...

    The issue (as I understand it) is to do with the targeting mechanics and animations as much as anything and falls into the same issue as whips do.

    There is no interaction between your attack animation and the targets attacked animation. Which is why you punch someone who just strolled 10 feet away and still land the punch. Rubber mechanics really call for attacks that interact with the targets.. wrapping around them, tripping them up etc, which are impossible under the current mechanics.

    Edit:

    If you respec during your 'Countdown to Duplicity' period as a Rogue (that is the 7 days you have to hold the alignment for the badge), upon finishing the respec you will be granted the Duplicity power (PBAoE Confuse) and the Trickster badge, regardless of how few days you've actually held the alignment. (My Dom had held it about 5 days, my MM about 4.)

    I have /bugged this.

    I assume this behaviour is the same for those in transition to any alignment, but have only encountered it on two Rogues thus far. (They're the only respecs I've done recently.)
    I heard chatter on Global Channels to this effect too. It appears to be across all alignments.
