back in a day herding (REAL herding) wolves was fun, not just for the xp, but for the thought of staying one step ahead of serious pain and being able to outwit my foes and lead them to their doom.

that and as one teammate put it, it looked like a Benny Hill chase scene.

heh, i'll have to remember that one.
Zen, debunked.

Thank you Mids.
I owe many a nights amusement to you and your character tool.

how very Zen.
I prefer the classics though: if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

and september 16th or october 31st for issue 16 to coincide with the issue 2 anniversary or thre CoV launch to consolidate the anniversary badges hehe.

Well, we have good Statesmen and bad Statesmen, but... Is it just me or is Lord Nemesis evil in absolutely every dimension?

i think its more along the lines of the Good Nemesi were captured and brain washed by their Evil Nemesi counterparts in other dimensions to become *drumroll* more evil Nemesi. or their Nemesis francise was flat out taken over by the evil ones. Lord Nemesis portal jumps too y'know.

to quote Freddie Mercury:
I want it all
I want it all
and i want it now!

although picking a new server to play this part on ... well i'll have to see how the mechanics work as i already play heroes on guardian, villans on pinnacle and have both servers full of alts ...
i may have to invest in a few packs of extra slots if they dont include any with the 3rd expansion.

MASSIVE RESPECS!

this WILL change the balance of old vs new.
i love it!

the really odd thing i'm thinking though is it'll mean i can take hasten then fly or some other combination because i dont always need combat jump/air superiority/etc but i do want the travel power.

bleh, there was no meat in that article only fluff.

anyone know if the Cryptic building is still in Peregrine Island?

i'd love to see something on all the Heroes that have Statues through out Paragon City.
why do these bums deserve statues?
what great and grand occurance makes them worthy of Paragon's highest honor?
yeah i've love to see Ouroboros missions that let you in on their deeds at critical points in their history.

i just wanna see Baumton go BOOM

Fire/Fire scrappers?
hmmmmmm
wait.....
AUGH! danger danger!

hrmmmm 7am pacific time ....
still no update .....
aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!

great stuff.
reminds me of old stories my grannie used to tell me about wolf and crow.

since it hasn't been said here yet ....
DOOOOooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!

seriously though this could be interesting.

a couple things that came to mind.

the Rikti war may have never happened in this time line.
especially if the heroes were to weak to contain the outbreak plague. Nemesis (if he did indeed start the Rikti war) may have seen no reason for it.

and even if this was a alternative reality there wouldn't have been a rikti invasion since they were an alt dimension themselves.


Manticore going rouge makes a certain amount of sense
Primal earth: BaB defeats Protean and mentors Manticore
Praetorian Earth: Protean kills BaB and mentors Chimera.
News article: neither influences Manticore.

Dr. Aeon, the 5th Column and time paradoxes?
this is gonna rock.

spetznaz!

i'm honestly surprised the Dev's haven't just made Hami flat out immune to damage from players unless they've used the Essense of Fire inspiration.
not to be confused with Essense of earth.

Earth - grants resistance to Hamidon Damage
Air - an end buff for a short duration.
Fire - grants the ability to damage the hamidon
Water - grants the ability to heal damage taken from the hamidon (watch this'll be next. a -regen to his damage)

it'll happen folks.
watch.
it's not like the devs have anything else to do besides rework Hami every other issue or so.

geez dude.
like i dont use your web planner enough as it is.
this rocks.
nice work as always.
your fan

Do you guys get any type of a break after the release of an Issue or are you like any other business where employees schedule their earned vacation time?

[/ QUOTE ]

Just like any other business where you schedule your vacation time. It's business as usual starting right away on the next one once the previous issue is done.

Good question.

she is of course not mentioning the mandatory Friday staff meeting held 3 hours before quiting time in the local bar with a 5 tequila shot minimum where they play pool to decide what to tweak next.
last ball on the table decides it.

1 ball - Defenders
2 ball - Blasters
3 ball - Tankers
4 ball - Controllers
5 ball - Kheldians
6 ball - Scrappers
7 ball - no nerfs lets do something completly different.
8 ball - Regeneration (you had to know it was this one)
9 ball - something that neither side knows what to do with
10 ball - double or nothing, next game last two balls on the table get it.
11 ball - Stalkers
12 ball - Masterminds
13 ball - Dominators
14 ball - Corruptors
15 ball - Brutes

then they flip a coin to decide on nerfs or buffs. if they lose the coin they have to work on QoL stuff.

nice big article that doesn't tell us anything except this:
[ QUOTE ]
Issue 10 will focus on a level range that you guys have been clamoring about for a while.

[/ QUOTE ] and even that doesn't really tell us anything.
gah!

i'm not big on the Dev's redesigning Hamidon .... yet again. ...
especially since the main reason (as i perceive it) is because we didn't do it as the Dev's had envisioned.

i wonder though. have the Dev's even done it the way they wanted it to work? have they beaten the hamidon once their way? in any of the incarnations?

the strat i read in the article simplywouldn't work from what i know of the how Hamidon works.
it doesn't matter how far you are from the hamidon, if he pops then theres a mito for you.
and the hamidon & his mitos range has bene steadily increase so that even if you did have all the mitos on one aside they'd still rip the raiders apart if you weren't careful.

all the same though welcome to the fray Brawler.

excellent guide, this nicely explains where i've been going wrong on my ill/rad attempts
