Myopic Aardvark

Recently got my Ninja Oni for the first time and was awaiting a fire blaster type combo.

Except all he does is spam Ring of Fire. Occassionally, he might deign to use his sword or Fire Breath, but I haven't once seem him use Fire blast.

This is regardless of whether he's in melee or at range.

Is this a known bug or is the Oni just rubbish generally?

Shame really, because I've been enjoying this MM combination.

You chose to swap to Europe as many of us did (You'd have to have, being a "54 veteran" - you were told at the time it was one way only).

Your choice. No one else's.

Excellent weekend thread, dear chap. Thanks.

Oh look. More microtransactions. There's a surprise. Not.

I know. I'm stunned too. I certainly didn't expect that. Next they'll be adding requested features to some sort of "booster" pack and charging people for them too. Or making nice cossies but sticking them into these theoretical "boosters" and giving out the crappy ones made by the new interns in the free issues.

You and Cynic are the same person, aren't you?

Looks like the ones you face in the Ouroboros SFs, from the 60s.

Wish I'd known that 10 minutes ago

Will bear it in mind for the future, but the point still stands - don't make any contact that is auto-added a selectable option, especially when you're not in level range for them.

Getting sick fed up of this.

Ashley McKnight automatically gets added to your contact list at level 14 and you can't do her mission before said level, so why, why, why is she a selectable contact at level 10, 11 12 etc?

It's really annoying, because there's always a random contact that you want to do that she replaces (right now, I want to do the Marshall Brass missions, but I can't select him, so now I've got to do another round of Paper and Mayhem missions before I can get him, all because of this contact who I can't do any freaking missions for right now!

She's an automatically added contact anyway, so why have her, a contact you can't do missions for at level 11, in place of a contact you can do missions for!

Please remove her.

(Just from the selectable contact options. Let's not talk about how repetitive her missions are compared to Montague's on the other side just right now).

I know what you mean. I continually hate how I never get superpowers in my day to day duties as a Business Analyst.

Sucks really.

One day...

(Also, I can make stone soup...)

Was the name "Dreamweaver" from the Adobe program?

I suspect it's more likely a play on words from The Storyteller.

Ah right, thanks for that.

See, I don't read it that way. Now, I'm not a MAC user, so please excuse me if I've got this wrong.

What that says to me is that OS X Tiger is not supported by the client. When Snow Leopard is released, it will be supported by the client, which may result in users who have Tiger failing to be able to access City of Heroes, probably due to some client incompatibility issues between Tiger and Snow Leopard.

Essentially, it's saying "Upgrade - we support the upgrade. If you don't, you might not be able to play the game."

[/ QUOTE ]

Even though they can right now? (I'm not an expert on how Mac upgrades work, but that seems an odd way to do it)

NCSoft store down for maintenance. Science Booster incoming anyone?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, was wondering that myself, but maybe it's probably more likely to do with getting the French & German servers back up and running.

Not to mention the US reaction...

"We're not getting our Science pack because of the French & Germans?!!!"

It'll get worse from there.

I've never seen it anywhere else, other than between two missions of the Wretch arc, where the indicator on screen points you back into the building you've just left. It fixes itself when you log out and back in, but is irritating, given that it's been bugged goodness knows how many times over the years.

Should do what I did when I got married.

Make sure the honeymoon doesn't start until a couple of days after the wedding so you get a day to play.

Of course, my wife plays too, which makes it easier

Lets pick the peak weekend for people to be out the country on holiday

[/ QUOTE ]

That would actually be this weekend...

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually all the schools in England and wales are im session.. Only schools in Scotland started holidays on friday past.

The weekend of the 31st of July is peak as its when th whole of the UK are off at the same time, hence why its more expensive to book a holiday during that week... because it's the "PEAK" time.

Was thinking of the EU myself, but okay, I'll agree with that.

Class. I'll do my vows Rikti style!

And the annulment too, I'd imagine?

And let's not mention that mission in the Wretch arc which has the indicator pointing in the wrong direction, despite the map showing the mission elsewhere and has been like that since Issue 6!!!!!

Obsidian Operative... my cross between Garek and The GL corp.

Announcing that you're going to stalk someone on a public forum is pretty silly.

Doing early so any faults can get sorted before the US has a long holiday weekend?

[/ QUOTE ]

That's quite possible. Though I don't know how the hell California can afford to HAVE a holiday weekend this year. The entire state is on the verge of bankruptcy...

Arnie said so. And if you reject him, the Steroids might finally take over his body and destroy the world...
