I take it the death card kills you but when you're rezzed or something then the effect takes place or not at all?

[/ QUOTE ]

Erm, why would Death in the Tarot kill you? It means Transformation/Change.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes - transfomation from being alive to being not alive

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, but only if you get your meaning of things from really bad movies.

[ QUOTE ]
If they're unique and certainly not liekly to be created by random letters or name association then it's very strange indeed!


[/ QUOTE ]

If it were the characters Bob and The Other Bob, then I wouldn't be that concerned. but unfortunately it's two two word names that don't exactly go together normally.

servers are up again ...
but nothing to see on the NCsoft Store tho

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed

The fact that there's nothing there yet, kind of explains why we've had no official announcement ("if it's not going to work on time, don't mention it, they'll forget. And if they don't, well sod 'em, it just a forum.")

Jeez, I'm in a lousy mood today...

[ QUOTE ]
That said I don't farm but farmers can make their own missions same as anyone else. Just don't expect them to get great ratings

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd say Farm missions have the highest ratings in the MA at the moment...

There was an announcement (the usual automated one) in game, but yeah, there should have been one on the forums

[ QUOTE ]
are these guys making this missions breaking any rules ?

[/ QUOTE ]

Interesting question - whilst the devs asked for any farming missions to be flagged up during beta so that they could check them, I don't think there's been a single instance of a rule stating, "Don't call your mission FARM and have it filled with Freaks".

[ QUOTE ]
I guess it's only me who sees it as odd that the buffs granted by Mystic Fortune are based on the Major Arcana of the Tarot when IIRC many Christian religious groups don't take much to the Tarot...

Just find it a bit odd that any theme/names/explanation could have been used and they pick one that some people may get upset about (and also one that may play into the 'videogamers are satanic spawn' camp of public misconceptions).

[/ QUOTE ]

You know, it's funny, but when I saw the Tarot pack, I immediately thought it was funny, because it wasn't what I'd class as Magic, but I felt it fitted the theme.

I never even thought of the crazy, fundamentalist, "We'll forget the main tenets of our religion whenever it becomes inconvenient or if I just feel like being a right [censored]" Christian brigade.

And now I can't think of anything else. Thanks Dave

I am not happy about having two two hours maintenance windows today. Even if we get the booster pack after this one. They should have done it in the earlier one. Sloppy coordination perhaps?

[/ QUOTE ]

More like "We can't have Europe getting something before the US!" *looks at Wolverine tickets for the 28th*

[ QUOTE ]
I would be happy with another co-op zone

[/ QUOTE ]

Good lord no! Sick fed up of co-op zones being done to ensure that they can fit more bang in for their buck, rather than do too separate areas for heroes and villains.

No to more co-op zones. Yes to separate Hero/Villain stories/areas!

[ QUOTE ]
B... b... but I go to work at quarter to five! That's not fair!

*wails in despair*

[/ QUOTE ]

Try not to think about the fact that the US will have access to it from 10am Tuesday 14th April, whereas we'll only have access from 4pm Tuesday 14th April....



Edit Or earlier, as we're just about to go down for maintenance.

[ QUOTE ]
Well, what time is it in America? 6:19? Surely some early bird must've gone into work and pressed the "ON" button!

[/ QUOTE ]

It'll go live after US maintenance time today, so probably around 4pm BST.

(Or earlier if they do it faster)

Ah well that makes slightly more sense then.

I'll go mumble into the wall over here now

Surely if you've logged in on your US account on the US site, it'll default to the US version?

If it doesn't then that's crazy programming gone awry and it must be put out of its misery!

All forms of art will gradually (or rapidly) be directed to the lowest common denominator.

I don't know if anyone famous ever said anything like that, but I'm saying it now.

I guess it just goes to prove that those who PvP, those who RP and even those who play the game for the story are in the minority. I expect the City Of Farming add on pack to be released any day now, in order to cater for this majority group of players.

[ QUOTE ]
Can't see this in the NCstore as of yet


Is it a global release on the 14th or just the US ?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's a global release, but we won't get it until it's available in the US.

They get it for most of the 14th, we only get it for some of it (likely to be around 4-ish today when their maintenance completes).

Game back up. No pack yet.

Yes, it'll be worldwide at the same time, but certain parts of the world will be able to play it for most of the 14th, whereas some will only be able to play it for an afternoon and evening.

I'd complain more, but by this time tomorrow, I won't be caring any more

[ QUOTE ]
BTW, anyone notice the clock and FPS counter in the upper part of the login screen?
that's new to me ...

[/ QUOTE ]

No. It's not appearing on my screen.

*Checks store*


Grrrr.... and now I have to go off to work!


Double Grrrr!

[/ QUOTE ]
i'll check for you again in an hour

[/ QUOTE ]

Heh heh. He has his Blackberry with him, which means I can taunt him all day long about it

Well the Limited Edition Architect pack goes on sale in the US tomorrow - Link

It's got a choice of the Cyborg pack or the Magic pack, so it's pretty likely that the NCSoft store will start selling the Magic pack as of tomorrow too. (Probably after morning maintenance).

I have also checked out the places of the AE buildings in Paragon City. They quickly removed em from Croatoa luckily But fro most city zones I find them acceptable. Although Kings Row and Brickstown.....

[/ QUOTE ]

I say that about a lot of new and "trendy" looking building that they put up in my city. But no one listens, life moves on and everyone becomes used to them.

IS IT TUESDAY YET? IS IT TUESDAY YET? IS IT TUESDAY YET?

What do you mean no? Gah!

May all your needs be serviced by those who care today

Happy cake day.

No. I was on COH Faces a little while ago (don't think it was part of the Titan network back then), but I don't believe there's any mention of these character names on that site.

Oh and happy cake day DW. Hope your SO brought you a browncoat themed cake!

I doubt it's my machine. I am very, very stringent about keeping my machine clean. (Call it a secondary effect of my job).

I'm actually fairly curious because my organisation is looking at protecting itself against Phorm style systems and this is an interesting example.
