Don't know about defendable object but I have a strange problem with destructible objects. Mission is fine with just one, adding any more results in them all becoming 'invalid targets'. Some frustrating bugs at the moment

Always 'invalid targets' or just invalid until the guard mobs are aggro'd/attacked?

I know on my missions it's always given the 'invalid target' message until the guards were attacked.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah, that's a good question. I'll have to look into that. I've never noticed having to attack guards before, it's certainly not necessary if you only have a single object though. I always go for the object first hoping to one shot it and damage the guards with the resulting blast


--Edit--
Ok tested this, seems that regardless of the number of destructible objects in the mission, the first one can be targetted at any time, the rest cannot be targeted until the guards have been alerted to the players presence or the first object has been destroyed - since there's to way to determine which the 'first' object is in the mission this is going to be a pain in the neck.

Also, the comment that is supposed to be displayed when all objects have been destroyed is actually displayed for each and every object. Think there is some debugging still to be done in the MA!

Would be handy if the inspirations simply didn't vanish after being used in test mode. Since there's no reward in test mode why should there be a penalty?

Well, now the devs have a nice shiny new tool to help them build their missions, maybe you'll get your wish.

Hey guys, I was going to buy the magic booster pack last night until I saw the problems people were having so I didn't bother. I just wanted to check, is the NCsoft store working now? I don't really want to be charged more than once heh.

As I mentioned just five posts above yours...I bought mine this morning (a couple of hours ago) and had no problems at all. It is slightly laggy so make sure you only click once on things.

Just bought mine about an hour ago, paid via paypal. Had no problems at all. Site was about as fast (or slow) as it always is for me.

Probably worth issuing a reminder that costume slots start at 0...

Following the addition of the auction house, widespread farming, like judgement day, became inevitable...

That's a lot of inf to trust to someone you don't know.

The ability to transfer inf between toons is something that we've asked for many times but the devs, unlike Del Monte, say no.

My theory is that it's probably some sort of half hearted attempt at forcing people to get together, make them less likely to solo. Same reason being behind the daft idea of forcing us to have toons online before they can be invited to a sg or promoted within a sg...the devs probably don't want to see a sg made up entirely of one accounts toons

At the end of the day, it's their game and we have to follow their rules, however incomprehensible and outlandish they seem.

OMG YUCK BLEUGH You have to wonder who was the first try that stuff...must have been blindfolded with a peg on his nose. I'll have a pint of Guinness please...

As far as the mission architect goes, I'll have visitors later today and they're staying for the weekend so I won't be on at all till next week. I'll take a look at some arcs that people have created and take a look at the MA itself next week before I decide whether it's worth trying to do one myself. Have no idea what it's capable of, didn't look at it on test...

Not sure about thre barring of trial accounts, they seem to be doing their best to encourage people to try out the game then blocking off as much of the content as they possibly can. I'm sure they have their reasons but it seems counter productive to me.

pfft

Be pessimistic, then you won't be disappointed if it bombs but you'll get a pleasant surprise if it works out well.

[ QUOTE ]

Yep, the lack of warning about it is pretty rubbish. I'm sure I've lost quite a few bids from forgetting about alts.

[/ QUOTE ]

Especially now that they encourage you to leave toons logged off - for the day jobs.

Little chance of that. They haven't even managed to get CoX to work properly with SLI and that's old hat now...

[/ QUOTE ]

I've never had any problems with CoX whilst running in SLI mode


[/ QUOTE ]

Well, I've had no problem as such but it doesn't actually achieve anything worthwhile. NVidia don't provide a profile for the game so you have to set up your own and all that works turns out to be for very little.

Don't know. I'll need to see what's in it first.

I'm sure there's some reason for keeping it all secret till the last minute but I can't imagine what it might be - unless maybe it's not been finalised yet.

If I'd come up with something and needed to sell it I'd be shouting about it from the rooftops not trying to keep a lid on it.

Isn't that mission 'defeat requiem and x number of cysts'? In which case they are there as destructable objects rather than real cysts.

I can't say I have every noticed any other non-spawning cysts aside from that mission.

[/ QUOTE ]

Was on an arc, this happened in a couple of consecutive missions where cysts had to be destroyed. I hadn't done this arc before so I didn't know if they were objects, I guess they were since they spawned nothing.

Personally I think NC have someone watching me. They *always* conspire to start things like double exp weekends and major updates when I'm going to be away or will have visitors for an extended period. It's uncanny...

I'll pop on occasionally to read the forum and see what delights have popped up out of the woodwork...

Source of speculative knowledge please?

I'm not saying you are wrong about the release date, but I'd be very surprised as that is easter weekend and there are no devs working from friday to monday. Releasing an issue the day before good friday is unlikely in the extreme and releasing an issue on a thursday is just slightly unlikely.

If it is that close to release I'd say the following tuesday at the earliest myself.

Issue 14: Architect is expected to go live on Wednesday 8th April.

five hundred to get stuck behind a stupidly sized message of the day dialog that obscures the entire screen and hides its close button off the screen.

1 to remember the command to close aforementioned dialog, thus enabling the others to assist in removal of the light bulb.

I've noticed that with my PB, any cysts she has attacked in the last couple of weeks have just sat there like lemons. Problem is it's only in the last couple of weeks I've tried soloing the damn things anyway so I didn't know if that was normal for a single Kheldian attacking a cyst or if they were broken. Their presence certainly wasn't accidental though, the missions were specifically to destroy the cysts.

For instance if I wanted to keep an enemy such as ermmm..... Chimera or Black Scorpion at range instead of attacking me with melee powers at melee range , how would I go about doing this?

[/ QUOTE ]

Chimera is Calamity's nemesis - he prefers ranged attacks and has a pretty good range, he also does a hell of a lot of damage with his magic arrows (they must be magic because they never miss and zip through her already meagre defences like they don't exist) and each hit from his silly arrows applies a hold. I think you'd need a tray of purples or a zillion break frees to defeat this thing at range.

You know you're addicted to CoX when...

you spend half the day reading, and even worse, contributing to, an irrelevant thread purely because it's on a CoX forum...

Whan I started playing you couldn't move for empaths, now you hardly see any. To be honest I'm thinking of deleting mine again, not because I think there's anything wrong with the power set - I simply don't enjoy playing defenders these days.

Would be nice if empaths could heal through walls and around corners and at enormous distances though - that's what most teams seem to expect

Little chance of that. They haven't even managed to get CoX to work properly with SLI and that's old hat now...
