    I think that would be an awesome feature for the next box release actually.

    Man how sad is it that you have nothing of value to add to your own thread?

    It hasn't even been derailed.

    Did you really jump into this without giving any more thought then what you came up with while typing?

    • They have not done any beta testing on the Training Room server for Issue 19. At the bare minimum, give one week for open beta.
    • A Rikti Invasion event is on Mod08's calendar, but he wouldn't tell me when it will be. If it happens before January, it will happen in November and will not overlap with Issue 19's release.
    Realistically:
    • Not until November at the earliest.
    • Give one week for Rikti and one week for open beta, that leaves week 3 at the earliest (week of the 15th).
    • Give two weeks for the Winter event at the end of the year, and that leaves week 1 of December at the latest (week of the 6th)
    • If closed beta occurs on the Training Room server, I'd say the release is likely the week of November 22. Week of the 15th otherwise.
    One thing! Closed Beta for i19 started the week after NYCC. Closed beta for i20 started the week after PAX.

    I am sad it is only for 11 days this year. Trick or treating for Halloween and present hunting for "winter holiday" (it's CHRISTMAS!) are my favorite things to do in the game.
    It's Yule.

    Eighth Circle cloak (v split cape with some random patern)
    Tarrot cards (like leaves but with cards)
    Runes (flashing swirly runes)
    Science:
    Force Field cape (semi glowey hexagon line patern with no middle between them...like that aura people keep asking for)
    Atmoic aura (electron like thingy circling)
    Cyrigenic aura (light frozen misty thingy)
    Tech Aura:
    Impervium cape (small triangle patern cape...looks almost shiney)
    Steampunk aura ("random"Steam from joints)

Makes one wonder just how much of a problem it'd actually be to let it be possible on purpose, not just by pseudo-accident.
    I think the issue is right now you can't be in both a hero and villain so they are limiting it till they figure out exactly how they want that to work.

    Most farmers would have better profits considering that "regular" content can drop purple recipes. They give that up for the convenience of AE. For some people, the inconvenience of travel isn't fun.
    *shrug* I didn't see that complaint in the OP.

    As far as I know these days they aren't outstripping dev content at 2x ludicrous speed so more power to them for having fun in a game.
  11. I remember being called to the computer so I could be shown a Brute starting a KTF about a year or two ago.

    Isolate Farming?

    And unless the people who are playing around in AE are outstripping normal game rewards they shouldn't have any problems playing "regular" content.

This is not a hate towards farming (well just a little), I just want to be in a zone with good players who play the game for fun.
    You mean you don't want to deal with people who don't do what you consider fun.

    The only problem is that the "bigger on the inside than on the outside" aspect would be even more blatant.
    A Timelord did it.
  15. I didn't make it in time.

    But in the wiki you get to see hilarious "moving" hair.

    Sorry for the image quality - I was on my laptop with graphic settings on performance. I caught it out of the corner of my eye and turned back. It looked like a character on its knees, with a fox outfit over him, and he was pawing at the ground. Is this a temp power or emote or some such? I've never seen it before. And the person was logging out before I could ask.
    I think it's a growl emote or something...let me see if I can find it before you get a good answer.

    Train could be harder...can't stand on moving objects with the way the game works now (and those you can stand on move with out moving you).

    Maybe if they made some sort of train level where the train stood still but the whole instance moved giving the illusion you were on a speeding train....

    2. Build Up doesn't really seem thematically appropriate to me. Personally I'd say leave it out entirely but if you really feel it needs a damage boost how about making a "Follow Up" style power called "Ranging Shot" which doubles as a weak attack and a damage/hit bonus?
    3. Boost Range also doesn't really work thematically. I'd suggest a third melee attack (ideally with a control/knockback component) or maybe an AoE Sleep (i.e. Poison Gas Arrow without the -dam but with a shorter recharge).
    4. I think Glue Arrow would need a smaller radius.
    Hmmm...now I'm getting interested.

    Is there a possibility of people using the discussion thread for announcements instead of making new threads?
  20. The attempted removal of redraw has added a new plague to the system MUHAHAHAHAHA!

    An Alien Origin

    We haven't been given more than vague hints about the source of their advanced technology. I still lean toward Natural as the origin of most Rikti, since the species as a whole is mostly similar.

    'Riktified' humans though are another story. In their case the the process is definitely that of Science, compressing generations of changes into one relatively short process that mutates a human body and makes them part of the psionic network.
    I could have sworn Riktis gave their kids treatments as well.

    NY Comic Con

    They are building up the Praetorian story.

    The next group of missions should be 30-40 and then 40-50 (possibly 40-45 and 45-50) unless they subdivide further.

    This is BROKEN

    If you aren't going to read the tutorial messages or the red exclamation point messages to learn what is going on how will a message in the mission telling you it's solo going to help?

    He's making a big deal out of it because it is a big deal. It's one of the things apart from power customization, that has been most asked for and argued about over the years.
    Stamina is not required to solo...but as an inherit is sure as hell going to make solo better.

    No need to argue anymore. ^_^
