600 quatloos on the new.... wait, I've been watching too much TOS again...

Also what do we reckon will be the crippling bug on this one?

[/ QUOTE ]

When they let us know that the Science pack is available and the Account pages fall over, despite the fact that it happened last time.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's not really an in-game bug though, is it?
For this Issues in-game bug, I'd guess something to do with global chat

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought the Science pack was this Issue?

/sarca.... no wait, why do I bother. It'll just go it's own way instead.

Just come back from a 10 month GW stint.

LOVE the fact that all the DOOM sayers are still aorund as well as the Forumites of old :P

[/ QUOTE ]

Same thing surely?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not every longer term poster here is a doom-sayer

[/ QUOTE ]

No, some of them have drunk the kool-aid...

Erm ..... He's kidding right?

No, he's just showing that he still doesn't get what negative means in connection with custome relations.

The info blackout is a bad show - especially when the messages stated to read the boards for more info.

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed. You'd think after all these years of foot-in-mouth syndrome, they'd actually go, "you know what, if we do this we're incredibly dumb" before doing it, but hey, they're still managing to surprise (or disappoint us).

[/ QUOTE ]

Now now Aardy. Are you REALLY surprised at the lack of a post about the downtime? Truthfully?

[/ QUOTE ]

Thus the disappoint option...

Like you can make it post...

It just posts. It's like an involuntary reflex action. Like gagging...

still no word from a forum admin or NC Soft? Typical!
I do hate NC Soft i do i do i do

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't give in to your hate

Yes, you'll only get a more interesting story arc if you do...

Well abbreviations US side are BSF (Barracuda SF) and KhTF (KaHn TF) from what I can remember...


[/ QUOTE ]
Yuck @ KhTF... that's not a nice abbreviation, and since it only saves 2 letters I'm surprised they didn't just go with 'Kahn' and omit the TF.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh no..... Khaaaaaan

[ QUOTE ]
Yes the Paragon sign is new but how comes they have to keep the Cryptic logo?
Is it a legal thing?

[/ QUOTE ]

The game engine they use was created by Cryptic, so as long as they're using it...

You summoned them back? Oh no...

It'll be several months of Sunday's before Ryot's up to doing any SF's I suspect

Isn't it boring without the server up

[/ QUOTE ]

Still, there are other games to be played...

<.<

o.O

...Piccadilly. (Mortimer-Voltron revised rules version 3, river tokens are in play, knip on demand).

[/ QUOTE ]

Invokes Webster's Tertiary junction move and arrives at Liverpool Street. (keepsies on the melon peel)

As I said in the other thread, it sure would have been nice if the promised forum post had been here too, since the message did say "check the forums".

Ho hum.

Customer service was much better back in Bridger's day (*using rose-tinted spectacles*)

And we're down for maintenance in half an hour.

Rather funny, it tells us to check the forums for a reason, but there's no post explaining why?

Good to see the maintenance side and the customer relationship side are still talking to each other

Really? Any time I've been off work on a Friday, they always do maintenance (which makes sense given that it's coming up to the weekend).

[ QUOTE ]
Fo shizzle.

By the way, will there still be a separate Euro website, or will that get merged too?

[/ QUOTE ]

Place your bets that this is the first stage of merges. EU website will probably just end up redirecting to the US.

Now, about that combined Server list?

[ QUOTE ]
That and teasing any players from Glasgow.

[/ QUOTE ]

Right! Bring it on!

(Although not a Glaswegian by birth, this has been my home for the last decade and I'll be defending it up until the point where I get bored. Which was about 10 words ago. )

Right, that's my US forum name changed to some random string of characters so that my EU name can be used there.

Apparently I even posted twice on the US forums but whatever those posts might have been about is long gone.

Damn, now I'm curious...

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Plus we should get the forums game section.
Great for those that want to get a higher post count.

[/ QUOTE ]

There's also a special Badge section - plus, the "For Your Consideration" and "Jay's Costume Suggestion" theads will get Euro players way more redname views now.

[/ QUOTE ]

Is this goodbye to you GG? After all, it didn't work out too well for you over there last time, did it?

Ah, good old Bass_Ackwards

I hope they allow colour changing on the fly.... (as I think they allow in CO), rather than having to change costumes.

[ QUOTE ]
Ohh here's a thing.

Those Imps are custom coloured which hopefully means that all summonable pets can be custom coloured...

Call shotgun on having a pink Assault bot!

[/ QUOTE ]

In that case I call shotgun on Pink FF Bubbles and Pink Phantom Army!

I do wonder how far you will be able to go with it. Is it the whole powerset which is the same colour or can you change individual powers?

And what about power pools etc as well??

If you can individual power colours then I will do multi coloured Bubbles and Phantom Army! Perfect for my Illusion/FF troller Apocalyptic Jester!

Imagine being charged by a bunch of phantoms that are yellow, pink and green!! Followed by a bunch of heroes with yellow and pink bubbles!

The enemies will be screaming "MY EYES! THEY BURN!!"

[/ QUOTE ]

Its the whole power set.

If you right click and save the picture, it'll tell you the default name that the devs have saved it as.

blue_fire_dominator
purple_fire_control

[/ QUOTE ]

Hopefully they're just example names.

This is awesome news, but I'd really like to be able to amend the colours of my individual attacks - with fire, you could have the whole gamut of colours red, yellow, orange even to white hot if you so chose.

Since CO allows this per individual power, I'd say that it's a no brainer to do it the same way.

[ QUOTE ]
SO i pose the question... time for a long break from coh? or just a love for the game shining through?


[/ QUOTE ]

Yes
