I thought this TF was to be, in addition to the above, also a nice tour of the revamped shard (now with randomized direction and strength jump geysers!).

Correction: The first ever (?) multi-zone simultaneous glowie sequence patrol.

FPAA!

UG is the one trial I have yet to experience - is there a server that runs them in the 9pm-midnight PST block?

That's about as much as I know, with the addition of whatever was going on with the primal AT or powerset that leaked at one point.

Not like I have much to go on, but it *sounds* like they might be limited from talking about any unannounced sessions - otherwise it seems like Posi wouldn't have described is AMA as "lore" related. I mean, I assume (perhaps erroneously) that he/they would love to talk about all the stuff they had planned for the game in the future, but can't, otherwise he would have mentioned it?


Dual Archery Armor would have been so awesome.

Not like there's a hurry, but I know the community would love it (and you for it). For the Xth time, thank you (and the rest of the mids crew) for all your work over the years. Without Mids, the game would be much less awesome for me.

Are future plans covered by their NDA? I'd love to hear some of them.

I used to play a warlock and hunter years ago...
I just did quick check on their website. I see a high end talent for summoning an extra pet for 20s, and see evidence of a second ability that summons a bunch of imps for a brief period? What else do they have? I know I have some friends going back for the Pandas, maybe I'll check it out again.

A ninja makes his or her or its own time.
And then stabs something.

Funny, I've tried both of those, looking for a mastermind fix (although I admit I played DAOC from launch, before masterminds...I just didn't know that I was looking for masterminds then . With a graphics overhaul, Bonedancers would be pretty fun, but I can't look at the dated graphics anymore.

Conan had a terribly ugly UI. There were some neat things about their necromancers and the mass pets... I forget with my issues with them were, but I stopped playing out of boredom around level 20 or so.

[edit:

I had an "all summons" user in CO when it launched. It was really, really weak compared to most other options. Pets just sucked (some, like the turrets, were OK AFAIR).

I tried to recreate that with the free-to-play experience and couldn't. I couldn't even figure out how to buy exactly what I needed to unlock my old character. Then again, I wasn't willing to invest that much into figuring it out - CoH's costume creator spoiled me with the simple dollar signs on the individual missing pieces, last I checked (it's been a while) CO did not have something similar for finding the powersets you need to pay for to properly unlock old alts.


D2 had some of the original mastermind types with Necromancers able to get very large pet counts and Druids having a handful as well. Both were incredibly fun to play. Still are if you can deal with 800x600. Hell, you can play it offline! You could even play it with my mod (which has EVEN MOAR PETS), if you were so inclined.

D3 has the Witchdoctor, which is OK. Mine is currently 60+1 and finally playable in inferno (pet centric builds were pretty terrible in Inferno (the final difficulty level) pre 1.04 - aka a couple weeks ago).

GW2 has a necromancer, and it looks like they can have 5 pet skills on the bar, one of which summons 2 pets.

In GW1 you could mix classes, so of course I made a necro/ranger for max necro pets + ranger pet. That was kind of fun, but eventually the playstyle and difficulty curve of the game just bored me out.

Untrue! You'll be able to fire up MIDs forever... I know I will. I need to hack in the i24 set bonuses. I still have a couple sets I never had 50s on. Might as well spend the next decade planning the perfect build (*VERY SAD WINKY FACE*)

Shame it's too late to use that for a sig for very long.

You guys are rocking so hard. Thanks so much for all the effort!

If this goes, I will log in all 150+ times and export characters like there's no tomorrow. Because, you know... there might not be. Even just having the files around like that would be nice.

+1 for the New Universe reference.

There were a bunch of protest pics from the other day, but I'd like to get something together with the late night (9PM PST+) crew. Hell, I don't even know half the daylight people .
