  1. To answer the original question, if I like the person, sure.

    Don't worry about powers or skill much.
  2. That....

    is well thought out.

    Much better than what Longbow is now.
  3. Upon further review and discussion, we won't get the Cyborg pack.

    Science pack - possibly.
  4. I'll have to look closer at the Cyborg and Science packs, now.
  5. I can't imagine not having the Pyre epic pool, so Consume is definitely staying for me.

    "Immersion" is such a blanket statement these days, what with people throwing it around willy-nilly, that it no longer has any meaning or weight. I, for one, would be much more "immersed" in the game if I could colour my Ring of Fire to be the same colour as my Cremate and my Healing Flames than I would be if it rained or it snowed. In fact, having weather and seasons tends to distract me from games more than it helps, with the possible exception of L4D2 where it actually makes you blind as a bat, thus carrying a gameplay effect.

    I will always pick more costumes, more powers, more locations and more customization over weather.
    Great post.
  7. I'm glad we finally got an official statement on the issue.

    Thanks for that.

    Really? I remember Hal doing tons of creation of items with the ring back in the 70's and 80's. Pity if they changed that.

    Huh.

    Huh.
    Hehe.
  10. glad to see that it has gone back up.

    I'll need to log in later.
  11. Usually, the way I know that I'm in a closed Betas is by checking the Dev Digest. The e-mails seem to be very spotty.

    And I don't get the NCSoft newsletter.

    You could, I suppose, grind enough inf through drops to get to the 2 billion price tag of some enhancements. That would take a while. I've IO'd characters under artificial constraints, like a fire tanker I built with defense set bonuses that I capped at 30, to run old line TFs with. A lot of that stuff had to be bought outright with merits, because of short supply of key buttons below the limit I had set.
    Uber - Hera considers selling on the market as part of the market mini-game. See above.
  13. I'll probably get more damage for my Fire Tank. Mwahaha.

    I19!

    In case you don't clink the link, the plan is Nov. 16th.

    If that doesn't happen, then it will be after Thanksgiving.
  15. I checked out the 88 base for the first time.

    Wow, that is amazing.

    I think that Castle told Bill in a PM that they would have the same values, but I can't swear to that.

    My first "main" character at release was a Science Invuln. tank.

    All of that untyped Vahz damage hurt like heck.

    I still don't know how I got him to 10 without quitting.
  19. It is a nice ripple effect.

    My goodness.
  21. Some people have interesting views of the word exploit.

    So trading prestige with inf at AP is an exploit now. Go figure.

    We got new animations and colour customization.
    If you were flamed, I suspect it was due to the way you wanted it done. I find it hard to imagine people not wanting to be able to customize powers or weapons.
  23. Well, you can't really see those people running missions. They are, well, in a mission, after all.

    Good example.
