  1. I haven't seen the episode yet but I assume that whatever it is won't be the Mirror because we have already met the Mirror, he runs the local newspaper.

    Sometimes things take awhile to change one way or the other. Sometimes they don't change at all. Sometimes they change immediately. It's a part of the creative process when working on live product. We are listening and taking your thoughts into account. Sometimes we just have different viewpoint, and sometimes those viewpoints change .
    Unfortunately this is a problem with Costume items, because unlike other issues it seems that once they have gone out they won't be changed.

    Personally I believe Paragon Studios needs to address the issues raised by the costume packs IN those costume packs. If that fact that a costume item being released means the pre-tinting cannot be removed then I believe you need to add a 2 colour version.

    It is great that Paragon Studios has taken the decision to have new stuff on the market each week and I am sure it will be beneficial in the long run. However it currently feels like it is having a negative impact on quality.

    I had issues with the Honoree mission. As a tank solo'ing it was not a problem but Duo'ing it was much harder. This was due to the fact that when I did that mission the 4 portal where all fully formed and running before I got there. Even once I knew what was coming up on repeat runs, edging up to the room, peering round the corner showed the portals running. This meant the spawns started above the aggro cap (actually well above 2xaggro cap) and I could never keep them from my team mate.

    Avoiding problems like that will be quite important from my point of view.

    I've had them on Freedom and Virtue. I also accidentally accepted once because I was expecting a global invite at the time.

    A nice article but also a very fair article. Which makes it even better that they have placed CoX on top

    What do you mean "getting" ?

    I was old and grumpy from before this game started. At best its only had a slight mellowing effect

    Happens to me a lot as well.

    Its just zoning speed, which is largely (I believe) a memory and connection thing.

    Someone needs to tell Statesman and Tyrant that these "kidnapping" charades they keep playing is fooling no one.

    And besides, this is the 21st Century and no one minds any more, even if it is a little narcissistic.

  13. I don't think it would break anything if a tanks damage cap was raised to by an extra 100%.

    I don't think it would break anything if a tanks aggro cap was raised either. Especially as there are missions out there that break the spawn rules.

    However I am quite happy with my tanks.

    Actually its a world away from that. We have been asked and encouraged to create our own unique characters with a host of different origins. Now the Devs have added a final (?) character progression that forces a very specific mythology, whether it fits our characters or not.

    A better simile would be to compare it to l33t armour. Imagine if all purple recipes required you to wear ascension armour? Its not in the spirit of the game.

    I am all for the Devs developing their storyline and their mythology. I even think its quite good. I just don't want to force my characters to go down the same path. And really, would it be that much work to make a solid option?

    But clearly the developers do, because they have created alternate SFX for most powers. They just need to work on Lore.

    The way I normally deal with content is to never repeat it with the same character. Thats not possible if I want to progress through the Incarnate powers and tiers.

    Look at the big picture, not just what things have been like since the introduction of Incarnates.
    And when are the other Incarnate slots coming?

    Anyway, I am trying not to be negative because I am looking forward to Incarnate Astoria

    Thats the theory I was working on. As soon as I realised you could "unslot" without losing anything I decided to get one of everything. I don't have that yet, but run one trial and you have enough junk to build a t1 alpha.

    Except the trials are the only way to get certain rewards which means people are doing them again and again and again AND it seems like that is the Devs intent. Which is the key difference I think.

    For a mission BAF is actually quite good I think, in that it has a range of tasks suited to different ATs. Nice work Devs! But I've done it about 6-10 times and I am sick to death of it. Some of you in this thread have done it a whole magnitude of times more. I couldn't face that to be honest.

    ps: spent 45 minutes in Pocket D tonight, looking for UG or Keyes, then gave up. On the plus side I helped some people in the Help channel while I waited.

    That, and the fact they said they "love" the Team-Up-Teleported, was the only downer in the last UStream.

    I thought you had to be 21 to enter? Has that changed?

    Great price and possibly very sneaky too! It means I won't have enought points to buy TW if they are released on the 6th and so will have to wait or shell out.

    I don't think its a good idea. When we exemp down isn't it suppose to be a kind of time travel? I can understand why you should do something with IOs because otherwise you could end up worse off. But that will never be the case Incarnate abilities. It will always be a bonus, which is why I believe it shouldn't work while exemp'ing.
  25. I'd rather not see the words at all. What next? Kapow! Whamm! Pow!



    An exaggeration I know, but I'd rather SFX over large red text
