  1. Utility Pistols - dual pistols, but think of a cross between a Lawgiver and the Bat-Pistol, with standard ammo, incendiaries, ice, grapnels, tasers, and explosive Gyroslugger rounds for the 32. Same relationship with the AR as the Katana is to the Broadsword - AR does higher damage, UPs are faster.

    Wayland Point: an upper-crust area of Paragon, only just added to the Green Line. However, heroes are banned and the streets are mercilessly patrolled by highly-paid Crey agents and Paragon Protectors. So all hero work must be done undercover or risk attack and arrest. Luckily, the mysterious local clinician Dr. Amy Weaver is always on hand to help...

    This is also the home of stately Sinclair Manor. Extrovert playboy Justin Sinclair seems rarely at home, but his PA Miss Gish and loyal butler Alex always need good help around the place... particularly with some VERY dirty jobs. (i.e.: join Wyvern[/i])

    And while this luxurious seaside, surfing community holds many secrets behind its doors, its greatest - and most terrifying - secret lies just a little way beneath the sparkling waves out to sea...

    Kirby Memorial Airport (and Kane Field in the Rogue Isles): Now that the War Walls are strong enough to keep the Rikti away, flights are now leaving for exciting destinations around the world - and heroes should begin boarding for global adventures. Stop the Carnies from toppling Big Ben! Steal the Eiffel Tower with Dr.Aeon's Reducto-Ray! Travel the world, meet new and exciting peoples, and then blast them into next week!

    Vehicles... because heroes need a great ride. Period. Customisable travelpowers (yes, even SuperJump - to the BatPogo!, customisable look and feel, and full team vehicles with gunnery positions.)

    With all due respect... I'm fussing about not upgrading for a game. My swanky laptop - aged 16 months - is already too outdated to play CO with 2GB and a dualcore. And - what with it being a recession and all - people are having to make solid choices about even carrying on with a subbed game, let alone buying new PCs for them.

    Twin-track approach like the old EvE seems best for me - if you want shiny new GFX, you can have 'em... if you want a lower-demand entry, you can have that too.

    I really really hope power customisation aint the main feature of i16.

    I dont give a [censored] what colour my attacks are if its the same old same old missions and foes.

    Precisely, and hence my "meh" reaction to the announcement.
    To use an expression you meat eaters use: where's the Beef?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I suspect it's just a "treat" feature rather than the meat (or sauteed carrots with a hint of thyme and garlic, should you so desire) of the matter.

    I admit that as someone who doesn't regularly have time to do TFs, though, I was hardly doing the dance of joy over I15, but there's still enough other treats, some unexpected, to keep me a pretty happy little heroine.

    Do we know about anything else other than the Pimp My Imp feature before we write I16 off and commence with the screaming?
  5. Spraypainting your imps is one thing. Full power customisation is another....

    ...and fully customisable MM pets?

    *hopeful*
  6. Been over 4 years, never been tempted up till now.

    Been having a read through the threads, and this is what I've come up with using SuckerPunch... which currently doesn't support either the Touch Of Nictus or Obliteration sets, which I'd be using happily

    Suggestions/random flamage welcome...

  9. Odd question - do these only drop in pvp zones?
  10. Personally, I'd be happy if they just turned the fog off and made it endless night. I remember when that happened due to a bug, and DA is truly a beautiful bit of zone design... that you can't appreciate by design.
  11. I hope the cake is statistcally proven to be delicious and moist, and worthy of the name of SCIENCE!

    I think they're just hiding... behind you.

    Bit like having your own army of ninjas... they wouldn't be very good ninjas if you could find them, would they?
  16. I have an old-school AR/Dev and an Elec/NRG, and I went Munitions for both. And I say get the gorram lot.

    Body Armour is a zero-endurance power that can take the edge off quite serious damage and give you a little extra survivability.

    Cryo Freeze Ray is a fast-recharge, high-mag Hold - when combined with the Tesla Cage it's pretty awesome and enough to hold +4 Bosses (not to mention pretty... electric snowglobe!)

    LRM - a T-AoE nuke with nearly sniper range - is just... wow. If you're a regular AR, you get all the power of a nuke with far less of the risk. But better yet, it's not an END-wipe nuke. So you can chain them up: take out the first tranche with the nuke, then wipe'em up with FA & Flamethrower or Thunderous Blast.

    And the new-found cherry on that delicious and moist cake of explodey goodness is Surveillance - a no-aggro DEF and RES debuff that's perfect for snipers. So in your case - Surveillance, Aim, Build Up, Snipe, rinse, repeat.
  17. British companies can be just as idiotic (if you're in London, no matter how incompetent, you're indispensable key staff: work in a regional office, even in Brum or Manchester, and you're a redshirt)
  18. Cultural thing. MMOs are a national obsession in Taiwan, Japan and Korea, with China becoming a huge potential market. Netcafes where players shovel credits in are just about as common as arcades, and relatively socially acceptable.

    Don't want the trend to spread here, obviously. I don't wanna be mainstream, dammit!

    We tried it once your way, Aardy, are you game for a rematch?

    Anyway, the space station/moonbase zone was the one that won the vote a while back, so that'd be pretty cosarned cool.
