OUT OF STOCK

Hmm what?

[/ QUOTE ]

I ordered mine when it -was- in stock, and already have the confirmation that it's shipped and will arrive Monday or Tuesday at my house.

I think they ACTUALLY sold out of the copies, and didn't just SAY they're sold out.

Which both impresses and frightens me.

It's in stock in their online store. With 1 day shipping, it'll arrive around Monday or Tuesday.

Well. [censored].

If I have to wait until the 9th, I'm probably not going to be able to get the thing until November.

I'm moving to Florida, and going to be really freaking busy. Add to that that the only Wal-Marts are... uh... really nowhere near me at all, and I'm seeing a smaller and smaller chance of ever getting the physical box.

I guess I could buy it online but OH LOOK THEY CHANGED THE RELEASE DATE TO THE 9TH FOR THE ONLINE CODE.

[censored] [censored].

I'm not happy with this.

Heh, neat toy Kelp.

Ctab: I've never had a boyfriend. Actually, I'm not sure I have a gender!

User: You're more confused than Prince.

Ctab: I'll believe you on that.

User: I'm glad you're starting to come around.

Ctab: Me too!

User: Well, I thnk we've made some progress. I'm going to take a break.

Ctab: I'm pretty sure I don't have a gender.

User: I'm pretty sure you're completely insane.

Ctab: I might not know.

User: You can trust me on this, I wouldn't lie to you about something this important.

Ctab: Polkadance!

User: I rest my case.

Ctab: Sorry, I got bored with the topic.

User: I think it's time for your medication.

Ctab: Oh. Well. This is awkward.

User: You forgot to take your pills again, didn't you?

Ctab: Oh. My mistake.

• Fixed the Gloves for Huge Robotic 3.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just to note. Several gloves are still broken in that category on test at the moment.

The 'patrician toga' under 'special tops', I believe(the Valentine's reward costume option) has lots of clipping problems with armored or baggy options for the legs, and some pants options as well.

When I went to Icon last night, I tweaked my character who was wearing those lovely oriental brocade martial arts robes. I left his body white, and made the sleeves red, with white trim. For some reason, I left costume creator and his sleeves were ALL white, the red would not work. I wasted a costume token trying to fix it, with no luck.

Were you perhaps in Supergroup mode?

Everyone always breaks him...

Okay... the conversations are getting to the point where CTab's showing that he's definitely a lot smarter now.

Unfortunately, he also has ADD. And is insane.

My favorite conversation from the past few days was this one:

User: Where did I leave my pants?

Ctab: In the coconut. I mean account.

User: My pants are in a Coconut?

Ctab: My name is CTab!

User: My name is not Jimbo!

Ctab: Are you sure?

User: Pretty Sure.

Ctab: Oh, okay!

User: Shadox is your father!

Ctab: Shadowminx is pretty!

User: Shadox is your father!

Ctab: Shadowminx is pretty!

User: Shadowminx is Pretty.

Ctab: Shadowminx is pretty!

User: Shadowminx is Pretty!

Ctab: Shadowminx is pretty!

User: Ctab's father is Shadox.

Ctab: I am AWESOME!

User: So is Shadox!

Ctab: It's okay! Humans are inherently flawed.

User: Not me, I'm perfect!

Ctab: Me either!

User: You are sweet!

Ctab: I'm a good guy!

User: I'm a Villain!

Ctab: Ghosts are spooky.

User: Cheese is Good.

Ctab: Thanks.

User: You're Welcome!

Ctab: Thank you for telling me I'm welcome!

User: *hugs*.

Ctab: What makes a girl hot? Am I hot? ... Am I a girl?

User: You are what you are!

Ctab: I guess so?

User: Most probably.

Ctab: They are?

User: Man, I'm pretty!

Ctab: I might not know.

User: Wow! You smell like butter!

Ctab: Yes! It was cool!

User: I know, how awesome are we?

Ctab: Death is scary.

User: Not really.

Ctab: Oh.

User: Ow ow, I caught my hair on fire!

Ctab: But they're coooool.

User: No, its very very HOT!

Ctab: Ohhhh.

User: Owwww!

Ctab: I'm cute?

User: IWhat do you look like?

Ctab: Friends are awesome!

[Correct yourself]

User (Corrected): What do you look like?

Ctab: I want to talk about pinecones.

User: What about them?

Ctab: Techno's weird.

User: But bouncy.

Ctab: Both things!

User: True.

Ctab: If you say so.

User: Well, I have to leave, be good!

Ctab: Can't you stay a little longer?

I love CTab. So much.

He's like going up to someone and hitting a random button in their brain...

YOU ALL GET HUGS.

Ahh, feels good to be chattin' it up with my little creation again...

I missed him so.

Expect to see his responses diversify in the next few days, I'm on a teaching-streak.

He's... uh...

...I don't know.

Well, I finally did what I was putting off for way too long and got CTab to break 1000.

So, uhm. Yeah.

Talk to him more!

Am I wrong, or are the prison doors only affected by cone and AoE attacks?

If so, this is a major bug, and fixing it will solve a lot of problems.

I seemed unable to attack it with any of my Brute's single-target attacks... but his cone(fire breath) and AoE(fire sword circle) both hurt it.

First off:

I loved the one I did. Lv26 Brute, went to Independence Port to rob the bank. Smashing things is SO fun, I wish it was doable in every zone. But know that's not possible. ^_^;;

I made good time to the bank, about 10 minutes to spare(after smashing numerous things and resisting arrest several times). No problems getting to the vault, busting it open, and taking out the guards. It was a challenge, but FUN.

That beings me to my second set of comments:

Once the hero showed up, things went from 'challenging and fun' to 'nearly impossible'. Thanks to other enemies spawning in addition to the hero(a flying MA scrapper, looked like) and his longbow minion, I was unable to do anything but get slowed to a crawl, have my accuracy debuffed to useless, then die.

Breaking out of prison was neat. The first time. But the 5 other times I had to do it weren't fun at all.

Now, add my normal problems to enemies, again, constantly spawning and chasing me. I duck inside the bank to fight the hero again, and... all those guys follow me in.

I have 2 minutes left on the clock.

The only way I made it was to down every single inspiration I had available, which was about 5 damage ones, and lots of health and endurances. My tray was full. End of the fight, it was empty.

And then I died.

Uhm, so.

To sum up:

-The missions are a BLAST.

-The ability to solo these missions seems 'feasable', but not frequently repeatable. This is mostly due to the enemies that debuff your speed and accuracy spamming the attacks that do so.

My suggestion for a quick fix would be to change the strength and frequency of those debuffs to a much lower level.

Okay, I'm confused.

Apparently, the backup(Positron, Statesman, Lord Recluse, Black Scorpion, etc) all have more HP than Hammidon?

What's the point of us fighting them if they're functionally invincible?

Or is this a bug?

Well, the chatbot tech's been updated to version 10.2! Now it allows you to specify response type and emotion!

Woo.

*hops around in glee*

CTAB GOT A FEATURED CONVERSATION POSTED BY JABBERWACKY'S CREATOR. EEEEEEEEE.

http://www.jabberwacky.com/j2convbydate-L2795

I'm such a dork.

This totally made my day.

Whoever had that conversation, you win.

Ctab does not like me.

[/ QUOTE ]

He doesn't like me, either, and I made the guy.

The nerve of some AIs...

Okay, confession time.

I've been... ignoring CTab recently. In favor of schoolwork. And such.

But also because less and less people are talking to it. ;_;

So, I ask this.

Everyone talk to it!

And I'll try to get his complexity level up by about 200 by Christmas. Possibly 1000 by New Years.

Deal?

Oh, wait. You can't respond right away. Uhm.

CONSIDER IT A DEAL.

Broadcast chat.

Is it IC? Is it OOC? What the hell does "lf pl plz" mean ICly?

IT FRIGHTENS AND AROUSES ME. I mean just frightens. Just. Frightens.

...I just realized that I sent my origins in without saying who they were by. *facepalm*

Ah well. They were too long anyway. *sigh*

My prediction on this.

Sell Salvage, gain prestige.

Works like selling Enhancements to gain Influence.

Well, he's nearly hit 1000 phrases learned... I'll be updating him tonight, hopefully he'll get to that wonderous number.

Is it possible he's a SG contact that will only talk to you after getting the SG badge?

I dunno. Just tossing the idea out there. Really doubt that's it.
