    That's a TREMENDOUS idea!

    The dots represent server load, which is usually (but not always) correlative with server population; some characters and activities generate more load than others. Also, the servers have gone through multiple upgrade and optimization passes in anticipation for the increased number of players.


  3. This is Serulean. The character design is a bit of an homage to both the Anya Corazon Spider-Girl and the Stephanie Brown Batgirl. I went with the sport gloves and boots because I thought the elbow and knee pads would go well with Heavy Blow and Rib Cracker.

    Apologies for the delay in responding to this. We've been waiting for confirmation on the exact situation.

    Here the situation: The script to award your monthly stipend of Paragon Points on the 11th was scheduled to go up with a billing publish that was slated for Monday. Unfortunately, this publish did not happen on Monday. This means that the script will go up during a billing publish tomorrow, 10/12/2011.

    I know many of you are eagerly anticipating your monthly stipend of points and very much so appreciate your patience.

    My apologies for the delay .

    -Z
    So we'll be getting them tomorrow.

    Paragon Reward tokens are awarded at the end of your monthly billing cycle, as the system is still somewhat linked to the old vet reward system. In your case, you won't receive your October reward token until November 10th.

    Paragon Points are supposed to be awarded on your monthly billing date, but everybody receiving September's points at the Freedom launch offset the database which handles point awards. So those folks whose billing date falls between the 1st and 10th should be receiving October's points today (as I type this, they haven't yet been awarded; my billing date is the 4th), and those with billing dates beyond the 10th should receive them normally. Each month, as the database corrects itself, those with billing dates between the 1st and 10th will receive their points earlier than the previous month until they get points on their billing date as intended.
  6. It's okay -- most superheroes run afoul of the police early on in their careers.

    You're a little off the mark about Heavy Blow's animation. Well, animations. Because, you see, Heavy Blow actually has TWO animations that randomly switch (Initial Strike is the same, except that it has three different animations it randomly cycles through). The first animation is a left forearm/elbow smash, and the second is a right uppercut. NEITHER of these animations are recycled, and are in fact brand new animations made for the set, just like eery other Street Justice animation.

    If you feel something looks underwhelming, that's an opinion you're absolutely entitled to have. But please make sure that your opinion is educated.

We're all familiar with the argument that competitions on a global scale require compliance with each nations laws, what's a shame is that the effort this would require is seen as too much.

    Surely a one-off compliance initiative would allow these competitions to be held on a much wider scale, then just a relatively small effort to maintain compliance would be needed with each new comp.

    The last 'pet peeve' of mine (read: difference of opinion with NCSoft / Paragon) was over in-game ads and we all now know those didn't work out as planned. For that I was willing to plonk down my own money to fly around the world to be within earshot of the decision-makers for a brief beer-addled chat. Skype may be cheaper but doesn't carry the same weight as a personal visit. This time around the fiscal *%^$-fest that is the economy won't allow that, but if I could I would do it again.

    C'mon Paragon, if ya won't do it me, do it for the world!
    Not sure if you caught Zwillinger's posts on the first page of this thread, but MMORPG.com is responsible for the eligibilty restrictions for this contest, not Paragon Studios.
  9. As a Bald-American, I feel discriminated against. I mean, what happens if there's no hair to cut? Am I to be scalped by a flowbee? Or, in the vent that I win, will the prize be passed onto another? I'm so upset by this that if I had hair, it would start falling out!

    *sigh*

    I guess it's time to slather mayonaise all over my head for a reason other than it being Tuesday night again.
  10. What are you people talking about? Judgement is already tech-friendly.

    ...

    Wait -- You mean you don't play it off as using newfound cosmic insight from the Well of Eternity to build a wrist-mounted, high-density plasma micro-cannon? Weird.

    Just want to reiterate that Clockwork 01 today said that Street Justice has not been changed since it's removal from beta in August.

    DS9 is one of the few cases where the remake is better than the original.

    Which is a shame because I honestly think there's potential there.

    Unfortunately, the overblown "controversy" surrounding the first issue (which could have been largely avoided by better writing on Lobdell's part, or maybe establishing Starfire's post-reboot personality for a couple of issues before the "you have the necessary equipment, so you'll do" element was introduced) just might have sealed the book's fate.

    I will only support the idea of Bruce Timm as DC EIC if there is an accompanying editorial mandate in which all DC artists must draw women the way Bruce Timm draws women.
  15. Before we all get too excited, it should be noted that this has not yet been confirmed by any reputable source, including Hector A. Arce himself. Believe me, there have been a few other occasions since the new Godzilla film was announced where someone stumbled across a bust or model someone made and conversation very quickly turned into "Could this be the new Godzilla design?" and eventually "THIS IS THE NEW GODZILLA DESIGN!!!"
  16. If I may quote Zwil from earlier today in another thread about this subject:

    I do apologize if there was confusion caused by the rewarding of Paragon Points on differing dates and we'll work to clarify this and the Reward Token schedule ASAP.

    Hey, the first Tremors was a perfectly fine, fun little monster movie. Only the sequels went into "so bad it's good" territory. But I digress ...

    "Tromaville Online"? That would be AMAZING.

    And, again, it's a physical attack made with your character's foot and fist; it makes no sense for it to have the radius of, say, Foot Stomp

    I tested it extensively. I'm not going to comment on any potential changes until I can sit down and play with them. I will say that it wouldn't surprise me if the set were taken down a notch or two (I refuse to use the word "nerf" because that's a very binary term with very negative connotations attached to it), as it did walk the line between being balanced and being overpowered. On it's own, the set is damn good. Combined with certain other sets, there is absolutely the possibility of being too damn good.

    Oh, and the AoE radius on Spinning Strike is low because it's a melee targeted AoE power. You perform a spinning roundhouse kick and go immediately into a spinning backfist; range isn't going to be much different than your standard melee attack.

    Here's a link to the 11.4 drivers for 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
    Actually, any driver set from 11.7 onward should be stable (on 32-bit Windows, at least). Unfortunately, without completely getting rid of any previous problematic driver sets, issues will continue even with the stable drivers installed.
