The whole point of my arc is it's intended to be very difficult. It's designed for players who want a serious challenge. If you can't handle an AV + ambushes don't play that arc, it's not intended for you.

I'm afraid Malaise feels a bit easy as he is actually the pet version from MSTF. The only AV version is Praetorian, and he doesn't have the cool dark illusion powers.

I''ve had some really positive feedback about the cruise missiles, I guess they are a marmite thing. They can be destoyed, and they can be targeted by pets, enabling players to use assist to target them. Ideally they would be fully targetable though. Korhol is bugged at the moment and doesn't scale to EB. If you play in a team from the start mission 4 doesn't feel like such a jump.

As for the Aeon clones, you shouldn't have encountered many of them: they are only in 2 battles and the spawn around Aeon himself, and they are all skippable, you only need to defeat Aeon, so any that run can be ignored. Unfortunatly, do to problems with the Cloning Lab, Dr Aeon has had to move to temporary accomodation, which is slightly smaller.

But you would be wasting the opportunity to slot sets that would give you greater benefit.

First aim to get to the resistance caps, then go for regen and recharge, making sure you have suffcient endurance recovery of course.

No thanks! Not based on the number of stupid comments and suggestions players make.

There was some good feedback that fell on deaf ears during issue 14 beta, but why did it fall on def ears? Because it was drowned out amongst the clamour of stupidity.

I don't know for sure, but I suspect that you get choppy performance on the ITF hill because that lag isn't just down to network lag. I know for a fact that all PhysX calculations are done locally, which includes all ragdoll calculations. You want to check that? Next time you see the body of a mob tumble down a hill, go and stand on it, and ask all the other players to stand on it to.

In case anyone missed the details, base damage is increased to 1.05 melee, 0.95 ranged, but Domination looses its damage buff. (which means similar damage to EATs).

Overall, this works out as a buff to everyone apart from a permadom with double or triple stacked domination.

Yes, I've had a couple off bronze rolls too.

Theres good eatin to be had off one of those.

I'm half Scottish and half Yorkshire.

And I'm a pennypincher. Who knows which half is responsible?

Sounds like a job for an R-type programmer...

It's because ragdoll calculations are done locally. So your computer made decide that it takes 3 seconds before you can get up, but your friends computer calculates that it is 10 seconds before you can get up, leading to rubberbanding.

the only way to prevent that would be to carry out the physics calculations server side, which would mean a lot more data to transmit to all the clients, which would be a major performance hit.

And the Col has some more important things to deal with at the moment than reviewing arcs.

All my arcs have four stars.

But I reckon that is about right. I don't consider myself a creative genius, especially not when it comes to writing.

The trouble is, whenever you do something geuninely creative there will always be people who don't get it. The way to get a really big audience is to create popularist pap.

It's the same with TV, novels and movies.

What it really signifies is NCSoft thinks the western market is a dead loss and not worth bothering with.

Ah, the sounds of clucking from many happy chickens.

If you do a per head of population calculation, both the EU and the US look poor compared to the asian market.

Demon Summoning. All MM primaries include ranged attacks.

Easier just to put it in it's own enemy group, then it can stay as a boss without any chance of spawning by mistake.

Does the boss appear at the front in addition to appearing at the back?

If it does, then it is spawning as a regular boss because it is in the enemy group assigned to the map.

His shirt, at least, has been in since before issue 14. So some swine told me.

Which is so totally not news to swine dippers.

They removed the crey cloning lab map in the last patch. Didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

We've got a slew of tweaks and changes coming for Mission Architect -- things we wanted to add in at the last minute, but decided that they needed more love and testing before we could go live with them. Among these will be the ability to set the level range of your story arc, and even review missions with "key words" that players can search on.

Note this doesn't mean you can expand the level range of standard critters: those restrictions are there because they don't scale across all levels like custom critters.

WAR is good, I've gone back to that a couple of times. It has PvP that is actually more enjoyable than a visit to the dentist.

People are free to ask what they want. Farmers pay thier subs just like everyone else.
