ain't that the truth. It's really cool to see just how many people care so deeply about this game but I think the way NC Soft have dealt with this will be used as an example of what not to do in years to come.

I have a lifetime membership and the passion of the designers really shines through (I did one of the new investigation missions with a friend at the weekend and we were googling musical scores and sheet music and giggling all the way, just amazing) ... but it is nothing like CoX and it isn't exactly without its own issues at this point (*cough* team let go including lead designer). That being said there's a free trial and if you finish 30 missions (not that hard in the first zone) you get a free garlic bread ... or an extra couple of days play time. Try it. You'll either love it or hate it.

Posi retweeted that and it was pretty amazing. The Felicia tweet that is, not my sordid fantasies.

There goes my longest in game joke (I have the name Taxibot on 2 old EU servers, both peacebringers)

Plant can feel like a one trick pony (but what a pony) until you get creepers and a couple of other things fully slotted out. I've had fantastic fun with a plant/fire and been rendered speechless by what a fully tricked out plant/psi can do.

Went over to the beta server to take a look at what there was ... I was planning on returning in the next month (I've kept 2 subs going just not had time to play) and the combination of bio armor and that set of missions in KR around the skulls (I have no idea if that's currently on live) was just great. Then I went and looked at the new blaster/dom things and then I went to get drunk.

I just have visions of him saying "What? They're STILL blaming me for stuff over there?"

That really is crazy; I think it's a bit of a stretch to describe what happened as "wisely spun off". NC don't have a great track record with previous games (I went to read some of the comments on youtube videos for TR/AA/dungeon runners at the weekend; they were very samey).

The analysis someone linked http://unsubject.wordpress.com/2012/...e-world-event/ makes a lot of sense of their behavior. I don't necessarily like it but it makes a great deal of sense (I know nothing of the guy's record just saying that 2% down from 18% of revenue would make this more understandable). They aren't my enemy but the way they've dealt with this makes it really unlikely I'd ever deal with them again. No emotion involved in that statement. I'll wait and see what they will do about all those VIP subs that are set to run past 30th Nov; I'd have expected any company that knew what it was doing to have that sort of info released at the same time as they announced closure.

The more I hear about I24, the sicker I feel.

and this is from someone that had to justify enhancement diversification

I joke but there's a good point around that. At the time it caused a lot of noise but I was too busy playing with the smashtastic new brutes to care too much. Then IOs came along (eventually) and it turns out they knew what they were doing all along ... As many people have said, I'm more annoyed at all the crap I never go to do yet (radiation armor! blasters that don't suck! water corruptors with not quite bannable concepts!) and the stories you guys hadn't got to finish up. The only thing I can compare it to is a 12 year long D&D campaign that didn't get resolved because the DM's second wife wasn't quite so understanding as his first (but much, MUCH hotter). I hope you all get sorted quickly, unless some sort of hail mary actually works in which case I hope you're all still around. All the best to you and the team and I meant it about that beer.

Any chance of a moon base in that one?

Good luck with the kickstarter campaign but don't start designing anything till you sober up

Screw it, Imma gunna be wolverine finally!

Ok, in the terms that you're asking... think of a dom as a blapper with control. I have multiple 50s of both troller (ill/rad,earth,storm/elec/time) and dom (plant/fire, elec/elec) and they're all fun... none can outdamage my elec/sd if anyone is measuring epeens, but they're all fun.

In terms of mindset, look at the slogan of dom nights "hold them, then touch them"

seriously, doms are hella fun even if other powersets can trump them in DPS.. enjoy!
