  1. You'd think someone would have demanded a server merge/split, complained strenuously about how they can't earn Double XP whilst PvP'ing or demanded that the devs come round to their house and service them personally.

    Must be something on.
  2. I doubt it. Many times, I've had Global friends show as being online when they haven't been.

    I don't know whether that has an effect on the SG lists, but I would suspect so.

    Still regular password changes are only common sense, so probably better to err on the side of caution any way.

    P.S. If you ever have one, once you're done with it, give it to me.

    As I said "If you were designing The Old Republic, how many players in a team with Borlath would be dead before the missions even started?"

    Hmmmm. Good question!

    There'll be another episode up tomorrow, in honour of Double XP.

    Your Scotland is somewhere in the north of England and I am never standing in front of you in any game with a gun in it EVER again.

    Keep them coming though

  6. Given the story arc I'm currently doing, I just have to ask...

    Is the radio evil?

    Watch Television!

    (Ahem, awesome idea. I look forward to listening)

    This is not done by the engine.. I found a post by the one who did all lip synch animation by hand. To make it look cooler.

    The engine cant do this.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    the engine CAN do this, even the oldest 3D game ever can do this.
    it's not the engine, it's if they want it in the game at all.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    How do you know? Have you seen the engine source code and are intimately familiar with it's capabilities; or are you just throwing a pot of hyperbole into the thread with your wild guesswork?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    if wolvenstein 3D can do this, then COX most certainly can do this.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I can produce 3D backdrops in Microsoft Visio, but I sure as hell can't do lip synching...

    Things don't work that way - "a completely different engine years ago managed to do it, so every other engine ever created since will have that feature."

    Sounds crazy.

    2.5% def actually.


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Oddly enough, when you right click the icon under your power tray, it does say 2.5% Defence...

    However, when you look at the detailed info, it says 1.88% Defence buff.

    Mmmmh, wonder which is right.

    Edit: Combat Attributes say 2.5% too. Think they need to update the text under Detailed Info.

    Figuring out how you could be so blind isn't rocket surgery either. You're called Myopic_Aardvark after all

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Heh.

    And fair enough Phantoms. Missed out will be the death of us and typos are just a pian in the ncek.

    Science: If this was ever gone out it would be some 'tests' and 'projects' costumes, but it's unlikely to happen

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Despite, y'know, Positron strongly implying that it would happen...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Ah, but we don't know what's going to be next do we

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Dammit, how could I have been so blind?! I stand humbled in the realisation that the Marshmallow emote and fluffy powerset pack will be out next.

    It's quite possible that Science(!) isn't as important as that, but it's a close run thing...

  12. I don't think it's a team buff. The power itself when running only says that it affects self.

    Edit: (And it is fairly squishy and seems to be a bigger aggro magnet than Tanks and Blasters!)
  13. I want my Science! (Yes, Science!, not Science) themed brain in a jar and mixing dangerous chemicals emote...
  14. Well the Def/End Recover stats are 1.88% Defence/5% end recovery...

    ...and the other one is 3% damage/5% damage resistance to all

    You could just get the Mac Pack now and use the code. £9.99 for a Month of game time (IE, 8.99) and the Valkyrie Costume and Mission Teleporter instead of 2.99... I think for the latter. Something like a 2 or os month exclusivity period on the pack.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Friday is pay day, then people can go on about this pack. But if you could all just hold off till then it would be nice

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Today was pay day for me....

    Purrrrrr... it's incredibly shiny!
  16. I take it that you only have to apply the V2 hotfix and not both?

    Edit: Oh and can this get pinned since I'll inevitably have to reinstall everything in 6 months or so and will have completely forgotten about this issue by then?
  17. See, that's not a problem for me. I'm far more interested in the stories that people write than the rewards you get for it.

    I suspect that puts me in the minority (since for most game players effort MUST equal some sort of obvious rewards), but I think that's what the MA is all about - story, universe lore explansion and just gorram good fun.

    You'll have comedy, you'll have drama, you've have really, really awful stories and then you'll get your tightly woven epics, which manage to tell a whole lot of story in just 5 missions.

    I'm looking forward to reading and taking part in it all.

    Why would Aardy be a big flop?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That's what I want to know!!!

    Seriously though, I don't think the Mission Architect will be a flop, but that's just my own opinion and thus can be disregarded by those who know that their own opinion equates to reality, as per usual.

    I just want a legitimate reason to say "Bring the Rain!"... and not have fire-blasters going crazy!


    [/ QUOTE ]

    That's crazy talk!

    Some sort of minor AoE power which puts them out of the fight for a few seconds would be nice.

    I miss......

    I miss playing...

    However, since I've now got my PC back (as evidenced by the fact that this post took a minute, rather than the 5 painful minutes typing it into the PS3 using the joypad), I'm looking forward to playing again.

    (After I've reinstalled everything...)

    too much RSI from using the PS3 interface to reply to hug. Roll on Friday and the return of my PC

    Typing *hugs* would have been shorter than what you just typed

  23. Here's to another super powered year!
  24. Excellent.

    They've agreed to extent the warranty on my system since I'm such a good customer!

    And they've guaranteed me a like for like replacement, so I'm just going to send it off to them and let them fix it.
