We would like to know if you stay out of sync for more than 10 seconds.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. Twice on a Manticore TF. First time was after zoning from my base to Steel Canyon via the base teleporter and the 2nd time was exiting the final mission of the TF into Atlas Park. Both times I was rubberbanding for more than 10 seconds, up to 30 seconds, until I used /sync. I /bugged both times.

Way to show your appreciation there guys. Merry X-mas to you too.

Devs: Merry X-mas! Here is some free stuff!

Crybaby players: Screw you Devs! I don't need this crap! Even if I did you should give me more notice! Can't believe your nerfing my playtime! Doom!

You forgot the line about the fanboy going 'how DAaAaRE you' and listing reasons why everyone should kiss some backalley backside

This is good news!

Obviously. The economy is also fundamentally quite sound too.

I kind of think you should have at least thrown us a bone. Some table scraps would be better than nothing. You must know what powers are in the new sets at the very least. Or some of the new IOs. There must be something from i13 finished by now.

Thanks for the update anyway. Better than nothing?

I think temp powers should be temporary. This pack is a nice gift for a new player just starting out that paid double what they could have got from a bargain bin. Then it's gone like their money, but hopefully the player will stay and use a real travel power.

No permanent temp powers!!! It's oxymoronic!

Jer

[/ QUOTE ]

technically, doesn't our permanent unslottable "origin" power appear as a temp?

Of course, I agree with you, but just sayin

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd be fine if it was gone at level 10 like originally designed. Someone probably cried about losing the ranged brawl damage, so now it's permanent.

To want every character one ever makes to be able to fly from level 1 through the tutorial to level 50 and forever is like asking for a pony and a pony NOW! Get over it.

All the jet packs should expire, unless they make it a custom costume piece tied in with taking flight and its prerequisite from the flight pool. Costume pieces are cool. Buying powers instead of earning them is lame.

This self-gratulation is for my Peacebringer, J Rom Squiddum who dinged on an ITF with the LooneyBin after less than 3 years of spawning voids, quantums and cysts for grateful teams. Thanks everyone who helped!

Jer

Hard Casey, my grav/storm/ice controller hit 50 last night on a STF. Thanks LooneyBin!

Jer

Very nicely done! Free slots! Vet rewards! And more!

Everybody wins! Thanks for listening to the players.

So do you lie awake nights fretting the various healing badges?

[/ QUOTE ]

Absolutely. Devs, please change the healing badges so that I can get them without relying on healing powers.

J

[/ QUOTE ]

New here? Healing badges are obtained by afk farming in the arena with gladiators. No healing powers are required.

Jeromus

Who let you out?

Jeromus

I got my 5th 50 yesterday when Medicinal Use (empath) dinged all over Lord Recluse on an all-defender STF, following 214 hours of avoiding contacts and their missions.

Jeromus

It scrolls by in about the amount of time it takes 1 AoE to finish activating.

Jeromus

Thanks for the good work, Arctic. Leafs suck. Go Sens!

And 2 draws, but they don't count...

Bwahahahaha. Nice. You failed and call it a tie. Make you feel better?

Oh, I've tied the LRSF twice and retired my villain 'unbeaten' by the toughest SF in the game.

Hehe

My team lost a member, so there were 7 of us at the final mission. We got a good pull on Mako right off the bat and lured him to the boat. After half an hour we started pulling out Shivans, used Geas, used Geas again, more Shivans...

We fought just Cap'n Mako for an hour or so before getting bored and giving up. We'd get him down, he'd hit elude, then heal back, then elude again and again and again with a minute of hittable time in between. We had 2 rad controllers and a dark def for debuffs. We were getting nowhere.

It was not fun.

Jeromus

[ QUOTE ]
Just ran it. Failure.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was on JMJ's team. We needed more debuffs. We had a good team and played well. I'm never happy when someone quits a TF, but we managed pretty well with 7 until the level 54 AVs. They took forever and a day.

I'm sure we would have been fine with a full 8-man team of Shivans, hell, we could probably call it an easy cake-walk, but I'd rather play with teammates than pull those things out every TF. Shivans should not be more valuable than teammates. It was late and I wasn't about to suggest a run to Bloody Bay.

So that was my 2nd failure at the TF (not counting the time there was a server reset and my team never got back together). Despite the failures, it's more fun than the LRSF, which I will probably never do again.

Just saw ya :P thx 4 the rep, and again, nice fight. I felt crummy that you were afk for the first one so i had to come back.

Pinnacle wouldn't be the same without you, NOIS. I have a question. If you're in college and you don't drink, what are you doing there? I'm guessing women, men or some other kind of education. Please elaborate.

Another question, just for the hell of it: What's your favourite episode of Futurama?

All for now.

To buck the trend, I like the look of Spines as is. Not all powers should be clean-looking.

Agreed. It's supposed to be ugly.

I've done a few with my 50 scrapper.

1. <sarcasm>Malta and Carnies in the same mission is fun times 2!</sarcasm>
2. When I get to the bank as the bad guys are leaving, we pass each other in the doorway without seeing each other (but I did hear the door sound). Someone got away, apparently. I was left there scratching my head wondering why my mission failed when I didn't really do anything wrong. I did catch the boss and a henchman outside and was beating them quite handily until booted from the map. It was a real letdown, but I gave it another shot and eventually got the hang of it.
3. In the prevent Breakout side mission, I wasn't ready to fight yet another Dark Ring Mistress, so I bailed out and waited for some endurance to recover (I've only got 3 slots each in Quick Recovery and Stamina). Didn't have to go far. They didn't follow and even disappeared, never to be seen again. It didn't prevent completion of the side mission, so no harm done.
4. The end drain in the PI safeguard is *less* fun than I thought it would be. I'm a regen and I actually used Rest. It felt icky.
5. What's with all the end drain in the PI safeguard? My dark def is going to hate it even on heroic.

That was pretty much my reaction, too.

All the physics are client side only, and no information about them is passed from client to server -- so, it's strictly a visual on your machine. That means, there is no way for people to play volleyball, or kickball. We could put one in that only you, the player, would see, but I imagine that isn't what everyone would like.

Sorry, folks.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't get it. If I can knock a minion onto a teammate's tar patch, how is that 'client side physics'? Are my teammates not noticing my brilliant play? Is the minion not debuffed by the tar patch for the whole team? Why is the BRB different?

Jeromus is confused

Such a great idea deserves a haiku.

And, unfortunately, Chum Spray has been renamed to Bile Spray. Our powers guys’ felt that Chum was just too campy.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well now I am disappointed. Those powers guys must take themselves far too seriously. Please reconsider this decision. I mean, seriously, if excessive campiness is a concern you have to drop Captain Mako's entire pool, but the camp is it's frickin' charm! CHUM SPRAY FTW!
