Quote:I think the main difference would be the fact that the 15 would have fewer powers, fewer slots IN those powers, and only DOs in said slots. Even the 24 would have access to SOs, and Stamina. (among other tier 4 Power Pool powers)Originally Posted by Soul Train
Keep in mind that in PvP Zones everyone should be sidekicked/exemplared to a set level. This means that in BB a level 15 CAN kick a level 24's tuckus, and vice versa. It's all about the build, the attack chain, and so forth.
... that is, unless they changed this and I didn't notice. It's entirely possible, as after PvP got royally nerfed with the "diminishing returns" and travel suppression crap, I've not set foot in any of the PvP zones. So they could have removed the SK/EX mechanic entirely. *shrug* -
I guess it was just close enough to the original description that we couldn't tell the difference for the most part.
Meanwhile, we've got a new week's show rolling, which means we've once again cleared the queue. Get your submissions in for (somewhat) rapid turn around on reviews! -
Quote:Actually, the reason yours isn't in the archives is that it hasn't aired yet. Tune in tomorrow.Originally Posted by Demon_Shell
Ah... Freakin' Hell...
This slipped my mind and I just checked the site to find that the episode that reviewed mine is gone.
Ya'll don't happen to keep back-ups, do you? -
Quote:That's the way it should work. I'm seeing reports that it's looking a little funny (adding numbers to the moved character) but they're saying it still works right when the character is loaded if nothing else.Originally Posted by Demon_Shell
My plan is to move Demon Shell and get her name changed, then remake her when Rogue comes out as a dual pistol.
Hopefully, making a Demon Shell on the server I take her to before transferring her will force the allowance of a name change. -
I sent some yesterday (I hope) some today, and the last batch should be in a mailbox for tomorrow's pick up.

Quote:Ah, but the perception is half of one, six dozen of the other as far as that goes. Even if it was just the 'Incoming!' (which I actually enjoy, and will make a bind for next time I'm in game) there's still the element where the aggressor is expected to back off it the target says they're not interested. If they do, then it doesn't matter HOW it's worded, it's still asking permission, and if they don't there's going to be SOMEONE who petitions for harassment. I can almost guarantee it.Originally Posted by MrCaptainMan
I think the suggestion was to not ask for permission, just give a tiny bit more warning, rather than the 'gank from stealthed' sort of activity which turns off a lot of noobs to PvP like me.
Eco. -
Quote:I'm guessing the most likely response is "but if I wanted duels, I'd be in the Arena." The mentality, as far as I can tell, seems to be that asking if it's alright to fight you is the exact same as setting up the fight clubs. In fact, that's usually how they are set up, one person asking the other if they want to fight.Originally Posted by MrCaptainMan
For example, I don't know why it's so onerous to make a quick macro or keybind that sends a tell to a target that says "Incoming". I imagine a PvPer moving round a PvP zone, spying a potential target, targeting them (You have to target in order to attack, right, unless you're like some kind of really specific non-targeted AoE-only fighter?) and then just hitting a button as they approach.
Eco.
It's either that, or the idea of sitting in a base and asking everyone you see enter until someone finally says "sure, come and get me" instead of the more likely responses of "no, I don't PvP" or even, "sure, meet me at X". -
As far as your Scrapyard descriptions go, you may want to include something about the Leadership of the original Scrapyard, who leads the riots even after his death, and the effect of mining the Red Coral of the Island, which "seems to have mysterious properties" such as animating the Slag.

So...what the heck is a Militant Newfie?

Well, tonight's episode should be up sometime within the next 24 hours, and your arc is set to be reviewed in one week.

Quote:I'm not sure what to say about that. There were some issues last week with the stream, which I guess were reflected in the archive. Hopefully tonight's episode will go more smoothly.Originally Posted by Sister_Twelve
I tried to download last week's program and it seems as though there is significant slowdown of the audio. Sounds like an old 45 LP played at like 16 or so. I tried it on both WMP and Winamp, but it was the same on both.

Tonight at seven we review:
Captain Skylark Shadowfancy and the Tomorrownauts of Today!
Illpracticed Malpractice
Whack a Mole! Wheres Moldo Edition
The Wretchs Gift -
I'm not in the need of anything at the moment, but I may steal this idea for my Villain at a later date.

I got Kid/Nomme's card aw well.

There's another possibility. There are a fair number of folks who seem to have this mentality of "I'm the good guy, (or at least playing one) so whatever I do is right." Red side players don't have that particularity, because no matter how noble a character they may be playing, they're still in there beating up cops and other vile acts.
It's not a mindset that's limited to this game, either. You can find several stories a week about folks with that self same mentality in the news. -
OK, it's been a while since the new set up came out, and I'm still flummoxed. I've got a couple semi-related questions about this subject.
1) Does one have to turn AVs 'on' in the difficulty slider, even if there's a team?
2) If it is possible to get AVs on a team, is it a sliding size, as old, or a set number no matter what your other settings are?
3) In order to get Elite Bosses in AE, does one need to have the Boss setting on, or the AV one? I'm talking about created characters set at EB to spawn as EB. -
Thank you both for the submissions. I'm working with someone to get a visible queue list up. Perhaps if folks can see how likely their arc will be up for review I can get more folks submitting.
As far as the AV/EB thing goes, I'm about to set up a thread in Player Questions, to see if anyone knows the answer. -
Quote:DE's science though.Originally Posted by Blood Spectre
Well who do we have in our game who is a Mutant signature character?
Sister Psyche: But she's gone nuts and thinks she is "Natural" now. Hey Psyche, how many of the game's other "Natural" psychics can make Force Fields?
Captain Mako: A horrible shark monster.
Frostfire: Looks pretty normal.
The DE: Horrible gigantic monsters.
So.... going from that.... looks like we're getting some freaky monstrous stuff. -

*Characters in () were last minute pickups, and did not have a web comic origin. -
Damn, I was afraid of that. There were issues during the live feed, our stream cut out a couple of times (I believe it's been resolved). I'll make the same offer I did when the Archives were down, if any of you want to hear your audio file, PM me an e-mail address and I'll try to send it your way.

We're still short one, but it shouldn't be too tough to get someone last minute. And since it's Lady Grey, there's a Tailor right there for them to get 'in costume'. -
