Quote:I thought the trademark of gender switching in anime was that it was not on command, but involuntary?Originally Posted by Zombie Man
There is gender switching on command. As well as transforming into a mecha suit. -
Eh, I avoid the dwarves and call Rose's phone.
And hope the Doctor gets me home in time for supper. On the day I left. -
ITF isn't an incarnate trial - it's the TF in Cimmoroa.
And it's a themed unlock, not available at level 1 nor is it unlocked globally.
At least this unlock being incarnate makes sense compared to most of the other incarnate costume unlocks. -

Not at all surprising. It's costume recipes of old all over again.
With how much the TPN won't be run, I can see these things being extremely rare and hitting the 1 bill inf cap. Easily. -
Outright deleted? I'd think not - hope not.
Worst case scenario they could probably rip it off a release copy of the game however

Six of one and a half-dozen of the other.
Or are upset about roman armor being an ITF thing as well? -
To verify you are hitting the primary target (and getting the defensive bonus) but not seeing bruising take effect?
It shouldnt have a cooldown, it should just not stack. -
I was not posting why I thought they should not, but rather the biggest reason they do not.

Someone who is good at calculating DPA, does this mean the Propel for Dominators is now basically around the power of Psi Assault's Telekinetic Thrust? Here are the estimated values for each power:
Propel: Recharge: 8, Cast Time: 2.06, Damage: ~103.5
TK Thrust: Recharge: 8, Cast Time: 2.06, Damage: ~95
If so, how well regarded is TK Thrust? It certainly sounds like an uptweak for Controllers, unsure how much Dominators benefit. -

I'm twisted like that.
This was of course after Blue/Red became passe'.
Also had fun with that Cleric Zombie precon they had a while back. -
Quote:RMT Companies + "Gift" = Fraud issues.Originally Posted by Frostbiter
I see. It would be nice if NCSoft directly allowed us to "gift" time to another Master Account.
You would think as long as they (NCSoft) are looking for ways to take our money they'd pick up on the ways we want to give them money. -
25% less than normal this week, it's the item on sale. Check the announcments forum for details (The five pack is nomarlly 1600PP and is currently 1200PP I know off the top of my head).

That's a question I hadn't thought of though. If you drop from VIP to Premium, you can no longer run Incarnate content and your incarnate powers are greyed out.
...But do you get to keep your boots? I'd guess yes? -

Those raise the percentages of the enhancement as if it were the same enhancement one level higher, without moving the levelrange your character can access the benefits of it as well(like the levelshift from alphas kinda). They do work at 50, which is where lots of people use them. You can boost the same IO 5 times I think, so technically you could make all your enhancements on your main act as if they were level 55.
Each one increases the enhancement's enhancmeent by +5% (i.e. 30+5 would be enhancement % of a 30 x1.25) - so a 30+5 Damage IO actually gives a bonus greater than a level 50 Damage IO - it's on the wiki page. -
I do not think they get the incarnate shifts - that might be the level difference you are seeing.

VIP benefits -
Incarnate System - VIP Only
SG Registrar access - VIP Only
Character Slots - Base of 12 per server vs. 2 total, to be placed on the server(s) of your choice
Access to VIP powersets for free (they're available to purchase for Free play) such as the Going Rogue sets and time manipulation
400pp a month to spend on the paragon market.
A whole bunch of stuff that you can either pay for individually as a free player, or earn a permanent unlock on eventually, like Unrestricted Chat and Inventions.
Other stuff I'm leaving out.

bathing scene reference... thought that might be the quote you were thinking of.

Fourspeed - This isn't a car. It does not have /mechanical/ reasons for failures. Which are easier to findthan why the maps or UI busted when they were not touched.
It's not financial or safety software. It's a seven year old game, with more years than that on it's code base, with many previous programmers who are no longer with the game who didn't document their work - it's not so much an issue with the current coders as the previous ones. -

Seem to recall it being melee, Weapons 2, and Ranged, but the Weapons 2 does list clearly that they DON"T get a origin bonus.

Since I can't leave the quote without fear of moderation that I think of first when I hear "Coming to America" (I blame being young when I first saw the movie, and envious I guess), I leave you with...
Bark Like A Dog
EDIT - As to Dune, the original was okay (And not just because Patrick Stewart is my favorite actor) but the Sci-Fi mini-series was better. But then, the original was trying to turn the book into a 2-hour or so movie, when it took the series to make the whole book into a movie. -
Freitag did. As the upper edge on "scary" as he would want to go.

I'll admit I generally avoid horror types, and I think I've avoided most of the ones on the list.
I'd say, Clue, Men in Tights, and Spaceballs need to be seen this weekend, in that order. Might want to see Blazing Saddles before Men in Tights - slight reference there.
Now I want to go watch them...
Prince John: And why should the people listen to you?

Frietog - Hackers is not about a military computer - that'd be WarGames, I'm thinking.
Hackers has a very young Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller (young enough they don't look like their older selves, especially Joile). It's humor, 1996 or so, has them getting framed for a virus that sinks a tanker. I always enjoy it.
PS - the pool on the roof must have a leak. -
Quote:Bogus. You have to work to avoid finding out about the test (and now beta) servers as well as how to get on them WITHOUT finding out about the corresponding FEEDBACK and BUG REPORT forums.Originally Posted by MisterD
There was no big handy in game survey to fill out. Maybe there is now, I dont know.
That's like the people saying if they never agreeed to the EULA by using the -ProjectCOH flag to avoid clicking "I agree" they can't be held to it in game.
Yesterday's Patch NotesQuote:
THE DEVS DONT FIX STUFF.
Yes, that is right! Case in point, the guy who reported the villain base bug, last patch, in Beta. It still went LIVE! SO how does this hold up by your logic, or lack of it? He found the bug, reported it, they did..oh wait, nothing. Now, granted, maybe it was super hard to fix, totally justifying them taking..3? weeks. But seriously, they couldnt just disable base defences, which serve no purpose anyway? wtf?
And based on how the rest of the game works, my guess is they could of quite possibly disabled placing NEW defense items quite easily, but removing them would of required writing, testing, and then running a new script thus changing the bases against their owners' will INSTEAD of fixing it, as they have done.Quote:Players and their Base Items have reconciled their differences. As a result, defensive base items will no longer attack friendly players.
The only other easy-to-throw toggle would be to shut off the base server entirely.
For all we know, QA kept deleting them under "WAD" - or maybe something else was why. I do admit we get things that don't make sense on how long they are left alone from time to time, but they do work to fix stuff.Quote:Or what about the old snake farm bug back in mercy? I saw a thread by a guy who found and reported that, months before..yet again..pushed Live.
Beta and Test servers exist because players are always going to outnumber the workers at a studio - there are players that religiously check certain systems every major update/patch that were never "touched" by the devs that patch and they find things others would miss because why oh why did the new Crafting system, say, make "guards" attack players not in the intended zone level range or something odd like that.Quote:If the devs are really using Beta as a way to catch bugs that their testing department misses, big obvious ones like the bases, then I think their testing guys need to wake up and get to actual testing.
Also, in case you havent realised, not everyone has the time to spend hours and hours on Test, playing with the new stuff, which then has to be done AGAIN when it goes Live. I am sure some people enjoy that, just as I bet a lot don't.
Claiming that more bugs would be fixed if more people found and reported them is just silly. Especially in the face of recent evidence. We are not employees of NC, we are not qualified testers, we are PLAYERS, who often have hugely differing ideas on what is even a bug in the first place.
And there are other players that quite simply have twisty minds and find really bizarre ways of breaking things.
No, that's "New Beta" - where people insist your game isn't ready to launch by a landslide if there are any ugly bugs because other games have turned beta from a "test" phase to a "marketing" phase. Now, between big patches they do kind of use it for marketing as well as a quick stress test, but for big stuff it is treated as a test server.Quote:Beta is, and should be, a place where people can look at the current new stuff, fiddle with it a bit, then give some sort of feedback. It should not be somewhere we go, unpaid, unthanked, to TEST a product we pay (sort of) for.
