    Here is a pic of my new Kat/Regen Scrapper...




    He was level 2 when I took this pic. Can you tell I LOVE the new SSK system?!

    Nothing is wrong. Well, in game terms that is. Sure, a Task Force is by definition a "grouping of military units" , but there is no reason to say thats what it has to be in this wonderfully INVENTED world of Paragon City. Unless, of course, you were just making a funny and not a statement of it's "wrongness".

    Solo TF's

    POST-ACTION

    So last night I solo'd the Posi TF with my 50 Arch/NRG Blaster. Finished in just under 2 hours. No deaths. Set my missions with the new -1 setting and had really no problems at all. Did have to drop some heal insps. every now and again. All the Boss' were yellow and the EB at the end was yellow as well and went down quick! My question is could I do the Synapse TF the same way? More importantly, do I HAVE to defeat Babbage? Cuz if I can just zip out of the mission and zone, could I just leave him there and continue on with the TF?


    NOTE: And for those of you... well lets just say.. emotional players out there, I would at least send out a broadcast that he was there or possibly kite him to the police drones at the entrance to Perez or something.

    Any guess'

    POST-ACTION

    on what todays patch was? And why can't they drop the notes WHEN the patch goes. It's ok Dev's if what you try to fix does not work. You can tell us. We won't roast you for trying!

    Ta construction...... It does nothing!!!
  7. Le Blanc
    It is frustrating. I have been in that boat too. But I would hate to have multiple people allowed to have the same name. That would not be good. But perhaps another name purge is in order. I know the dev's have said in the past the last name purge didnt really do much. But I bet the guy or gal who got the name they really wanted would disagree.

    JKCarrier is totaly in the lead! Gotta love the current gags! Great stuff though all!
  9. Le Blanc

    The only one I could come up with was ...

    Freak "Thanks man, I can totally see down her shirt from here!"
  12. Le Blanc
    Excellent replies all!

    The winner of this one is.... EU_Damz! With..

    "Listen when i say STOP! HAMMER TIME! I expect you to stop!"

    But it was close. Ya'll are too funny.
  13. Le Blanc
    EU_Damz is sooooo in the lead right now. Too good. But Ashcraft is a close second. Any more before I pronounce?

    We know we'll have the "going rogue" content that is specific for changing sides. I expect this to be about an arc long, one arc for each side, basically somewhat similar to the Midnighter arc. You complete the arc and it gives you a Rogue badge that enables access to both red and blue side.

    After that, I guess we'll have some cooperative zone Praetorian stuff. I foresee content along the lines of the Faultline / RWZ, with Fusionette and Jim Temblor being replaced by the two new rogues, and the Praetorian factions replacing the Rikti. There should be at least one new zone for all the action, but I'm thinking the zones may be closer to Cimerora or Ouroboros in size as opposed to IP or Nerva.

    So ... just change a few paragraphs of text, pop in the new NPCs, place a few sewer doors and office doors on a new zone map, and voila!

    There will also be the two new power sets, plus some new rogue/Praetorian costume items.
    I am hoping that this is not all we will see. The shineys of I16 really need to be followed up by HEAVY content of GR. And I really think it will. I am hoping for new mish types, new mish maps, as well as new mish options in AE. Stuff that makes me go "Wow, that was different". Well, I believe enough to keep paying anyway. That and I should have my 60 month badge when it comes out (GR) so I hope to be in the early beta. (crosses fingers!) Plus, there is the fact that it is a Pay for expansion. So I am expecting AT LEAST as many new Zones as CoV brought to the table.

    And once the issue is resolved a free transfer back to our favorite servers.

    also credit for unplayable time would be nice on our accounts.

    While it may not be their equipment that is the cause of the problem but it is their responsibility to ensure the best possible playing environment for their paying customers and they should be making this a very very high priority up to and including paying for the research and repairs themselves.

    In my opinion all effected players should be credited for half the time since the problem cropped up. (most people starting noticing very bad latency at or around the double xp weekend)

    At this point I would be happy with an Official Announcement on the topic. I hate that half their servers are this messed up and they won't say ANYTHING about it on the Announcements page??!! That's just plain wrong. Something this big deserves more attention. This is ridiculous.
  17. Le Blanc
    Yes. It was terrible tonight. Nothing but red spikes and dropped packets all the way. This is really getting ridiculous. Whats worse is NO official mention on the Announcements page. Not that I could see anyway. Wanna push folks on HALF your servers to CO, then please, by all means, say nothing. If they will switch my SG and all my Characters to a West coast server, then fine. But this is insane!
  18. Le Blanc
    I went in today around noon (West Coast) and had no packet loss and no red spikes on Infinity. No rubberbanding like before either. Im not saying it is fixed, but it was nice being able to play again. I will check back after tonight with some full teams and heavier populations. It might get crazy again then (although population did NOT seem to be an issue before). But this afternood was good. Only one weird packet loss when I was leaving a mish, other than that no dropped packets and like I said no red spikes. Keeps fingers crossed!!
  19. Le Blanc
    Sure. Lemme see if I can work that Mids thing and put it here for ya.
  20. Le Blanc
    It's hands down my favorite Blaster combo. But it IS all range. Well, when you build like I did and ONLY take 3 things from the NRG secondary. If you want a Blapper, I would really suggest a different Primary. But I will also say this, I don't PvP, but I have taken her into RV for badges and played a bit while I was there. With invis on ya (dropped on me from a controller) and flight, you really do become a VERY deadly sniper! The BU/Aim/Snipe makes you a dang near Stalker dropping his AS.

    This was also before the recent changes to PvP so I have no idea if they are currently anygood there. But she was insanely deadly a year ago in there.

    Beta Question

    POST-ACTION

    When do folks think the Beta invites for Hero-Con folks will hit? If I remember correctly it was a bout a week or 2 into the last closed beta. And since they said it was for "future BetaS" not "A future Beta" then I am figuring it should happen for this one too. Well, am hoping anyway.

    Archery/Trick Arrow BLASTER

    Dual Pistols/Dual Pistol Blaster

    Dark/Dark Blaster

    Spear/Shield Scrapper

    And with I16 we get #1 for corruptors (good, but not great) and GR will give us dual pistols in SOME form. But I still want my D/D Blaster. Toooo many concept ideas!
  23. Le Blanc
    Easily my favorite blaster of all time has been my Archery/NRG. And I always hated that I could not have a Arrow like secondary (no Defenders for me), so this news was AWESOME to me. I mean, I will be making them go Blue Side as soon as GR comes out, but I will have too much fun with this combo! I pretty much already have one lined up. Ok, I actually have 3 or 4 lined up in my melon!

    2 Things. My female werewolf who turns into a MUCKING huge werewolf is finally a reality. And a bald diminutive history teacher who becomes an Ax wielding 7 foot Knight with medieval armor is finally a reality. Both characters I always wanted to do but never could get right before. It has really rekindled my love of this game. As I suspect the color options will too.

    Name question

    POST-ACTION

    Well....yeah. But I was looking for something a little more creative. We are nothing if not VERY creative here!
