  1. Is flat-hat hurling the Epic set or an L28 power?

    Incidentally, I always thought Batter Pudding was a ranged set rather than melee.

    Reminds me, we need a Beastmaster/Beastmistress MM/Controller set (weasels, falcons, panthers, and of course giant kittens).

  4. auf wiedersehen herr uberschatzinqualitatskontrolur. or something.
  5. Actually, scratch that - Cold/Cold Defender. Was working till 3am and had an hour's reward gaming after that. Need more caffeine.

    Between stackable holds and AOE slows, Heat Loss and all the stackable debuffs, I can solo +2/3 Death Mages if I've got a Breakfree handy (and preferably a mid/large yellow).

    Heat Loss absolutely rocks, though I'm having trouble using it in larger teams (if I trigger close to the tanks/scrappzors they get buffed but no-one else does, if I hang back with the squishlies it's the same deal, and if I trigger as a team alpha I get a lot of very angry mobs after me...)
  6. I thought the Large Hadron Collider was built to look for God Moders?

    PP doesn't generate that kind of field, IMHO - it's more about encouraging chronic altitis and giving people yet more creative options to build new heroes. Currently unable to keep my paws off my flatmate's Cold/Cold Dominator.

    Random offline?

    I had ONE HIT to get to rescue that last hostage. ONE HIT! *grr*

    Now can't get past the login server trolls - claiming I'm not submitting username and PW.

    Bah. Have to go do work instead.

    Random offline?

    Late maintenance or downtime? Just got random d/c, can see four green lights but can't connect to anywhere.

    Or has Aero's Large Haddock Collider just booted up and nicked the power?

    Incidentally, Lighthouse is picking up on this Stateside and confirms what you said:

    While the news of reorganization can be scary (anytime change is involved, it generally is); NCsoft NorCal is full steam ahead. We are adding more to our staff and have open positions that we are aggressively hiring for. City of Heroes is a strong contributor to NCsoft's success and we are working hard to build on that success, all of which translate to great things for the game.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    NCNorCal are still going to be based out of Nerd Central... er, I mean the Valley, aren't moving and are, in fact, hiring.

    The Bay can get hella cold from this time of year on, but it's beautiful. I'm sure some of your lot would be shoo-ins for L-1 specialist knowledge visas (hell, how much more specialist can you get than Superhero Powers Designer?)

    EDIT: just found the full title of the O-1 visa is "Aliens with Extraordinary Ability Visa".

    That's definitely you, Rocky
  10. According to Develop, NC West will retain "as yet unnamed European executives" and QA and publishing staff - but the 50-strong development team and the proposed PS3 game they were working on are canned.

    Major, major suckage. Even for the survivors it's gonna feel emptier than Defiant at 4 in the morning.

    The only bright spark of hope is that publishing division - taking 3rd party games on and bringing them into the NCSoft fold. Best bet would be to do what most of the production staff did during ITV regional layoffs - set up indies a stone's throw from the main office, keep 100% creative control and charge properly for their work
  11. No.

  12. Lord Recluse's horoscope for today:

    Tuesday, Sep 9th, 2008 -- You may decide to accept a social invitation today with the Moon-Jupiter conjunction in your 5th House of Fun and Games. Unfortunately, a square from alluring Venus could encourage you to play when you really should be working or to spend money that you don't have. Ultimately, the more practical you can be, the better you will feel about yourself at the end of the day. There's still time in the evening to enjoy yourself.

    Hmmm... so that's the old Manticore disguising himself as Sister Psyche trick again, eh? Right, this time, shoot first, plot and cackle later.
  13. Gratz on your new level. *ding*

    Any new powers?

    Odd question - which enemy groups have high Cold resistance and which are more vulnerable?

    As I posted above, I generally just hate people, and that is regardless of nationality, creed, religion, race etc. I'm fairly equal with my hatred.

    Never try and invent anything evil when you have a cold. People just don't take it seriously.

    "No idea. Something that makes really big holes under you?"
  20. Incidentally, wouldn't another of the Spelling Fascist's nemeses be a panda with an assault rifle, Super Speed and a large pack of sandwiches?

    Plus lets see how advanced it is before giving it the "ground breaking" tag.

    If it doesn't have falling blocks, floor traps with spikes, collapsing bridges, and pits of molten lava (or fake plastic lava for overlords on a budget) it'd be fairly unimpressive to me really.

    I don't consider these forums a place where I would discuss SM/BDSM.

    There do appear to be an unusual number of people who don't discuss that here, here.

    Funny how that goes. I wonder why.

    It's not there. It's hidden in a cinema in downtown Galaxy City - the one playing See You Next Wednesday.
