Standard code rant.

i never knew that. So periods come with marriage. *huh* Always thought it was the other way around.

As i understand it Windows 7 could just as accurately be called Vista Service Pack 3 or Vista Release Version. It's not a major change in the codebase like most windows releases that are given new names, just a bunch of much-needed improvements. More in the vein of Windows 3.0 to Windows 3.11 than Windows 98 to Windows XP.

So if anything CoH should run better, since Windows now runs better.

i second making RWZ level gated again. They don't necessarily have to raise it back up to 35 in my opinion, but it should be at least 25-30.

As for adding AE to pocket D: i have to agree that AE would make much more sense in Pocket D than in the middle of a war zone, and it would give some more co-op activities there besides Arena and holiday events. i'd suggest locating it under the club space with portals and/or a ramp/staircase going down to it, but anywhere there would be an improvement over having it in the RWZ.

Suggested event/zone activity:Turn the building into a ruin with an accessible interior like some of the redside buildings, and have Rikti picketing the half-demolished AE building while other Rikti roam inside fighting Crey while both try to loot the ruins.

Personally i'd probably go Spines/Elec. Or Claws/Elec, but i'm a big fan of Claws.

i was so tempted to go N-n-n-n-n-n-necropost!
Then i arrived too late to the party.
Sadly enough it's at my house.
Come to think of it, it's still going on.
Later.

So if the post had a youtube link and subtitles in the video to translate the sign language it would make sense?
Now that's optimism!

To be fair, ELFie does make sense sometimes. i think most of the time he just doesn't feel like bothering to reread what he's written and see if it makes sense to anyone outside his skull.

Yeah, i think he tossed a few in that are intended to nettle others.

Spoken like a true paragon of uninformed assumptions. Taking a variant of a canon character's name and spinning it into a whole new persona that starts from the same roots and goes in a totally new direction is not usually the definition of plagiarism. But speaking from position of total ignorance you wouldn't know that, now would you?

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!
*thud*
*falls over*

Would be the fastest pizza delivery ever. The whole thing doesn't even take five minutes to read.

Of course there are the tiny number of attacks available to players that are autohit. Generally speaking they're primarily debuffs/controls with a tiny damage component.

Amusingly, i have a Doctor Vahzilok on almost every server. He's an alternate world Dimitrios who sought refuge from the Council Empire dimension. (He is neither short nor chubby.)

This. Once i get some procs for caltrops webnade+Tenebrous Tentacles will be even more full of win.

O RLY? Give it time.
There's a long standing tradition on the forums of derailing troll/flame wars by posting tasty recipes in an attempt to distract everyone. More or less.

Wait, are we talking Jack Kirby or Kirby the fat blob that sucks?

From the OP:
Going Rogue is at least a few months away, so Mind/Emp isn't really an option at the moment...

Just a clarification: All times given are Eastern.

Well crud. i usually read the Dev Digest every day, and somehow i missed this. Well, good to know it will be fixed soonish.

i was just testing that with my 47 SD/SS Tanker. Custom animations are not working with shields currently. The color tinting still works, but only the default animations play outside the tailor screen.

i haven't played my SD/SS Tanker for a few weeks, so maybe the most recent patch broke something, but the last time i played Super Strength and Shield Defense together the custom animations worked just fine. i think i'll go log on and check. *gah* i really hope the last patch didn't break animation customization.

Edit: Just tested, and it looks like the latest live build has broken custom animations with Shield Defense. That kind of sucks, i was loving the ground punch and two-handed shield smash animations.
