Sideline

Thanks, I'll head there now.

Is there a fix besides running the old drivers for the AMD series video cards? I would like to play this game again, but freezing every few minutes and having to do a hard close of the game isn't much fun. I'd prefer to keep the updated drivers if at all possible since I also play another game and the drivers come in handy in that. Thanks in advance.

if it's not out by the time the event goes live....that was very mean Devs, teasing us like that.

if it is out by the time the event goes live....awesome work Devs, I tip my hat to you.

I hate to disagree, but there is nothing that says they are equal in power.

They are analogues, counter parts, and yes, they are similar, but that does not mean the same.

Synapse and Neuron for example. Neuron has done numerous experiments on himself to make himself faster and smarter. Synapse hasn't.

Maurader and Back Alley Brawler. Ok, except for a height difference, that one may not be a good example.

Statesman and Tyrant. Have you ever fought Tyrant and had him lay down a lightning attack like Statesy does?

No, they are evil / other counterparts that is all. Power levels are something else all together.

Yay, I'm in....course I'm stuck in the tutorial, but hey, I get some awesome screenies of Recluse and the others talking.....and man, this feels almost epic.

Except for the store Devs, awesome job on the tutorial.

Well, that will teach me to be a few minutes late :P

Street Justice, Rocket Boards, and costumes. Maybe a few other things just to play with the market and test them out, but I don't see the point in buying extra costume slots in the beta server. Now the live server...yeah, yeah I'll probably buy me some extra costume slot love.

Well, poop. I mean, this is good news, but now I have to choose between rolling a ?/Time corr and a Street Justice/Sheild brute...

Since you know, Zwill just stated that when we start tonight, we'll all have 10,000 points to spend in the market...

No, I did not accidently add an extra zero.

Hey Zwill? Any chance you Paragon Studios guys (and gals) are working on a RL Time Manip set? That way we don't have to wait any more....

Three hours Seven minutes

I forsee multiple copies of Time Manip characters running around....And that's just my characters...

Since we know from Zwill that Street Justice and Beam Gun aren't going to be available right away, what are you all going to make?

please, no to the #gig updates tonight......want Time Manipulation.....

Seven hours and 12 minutes...

Well, I'm patched and ready to go.....and yes, I couldn't help but try and click Log In.

Now to wait for 7pm EST.....seven and 36 minutes to go.

But...but...I don't want to wait till 7pm tonight....

*sigh* oh well, good things come to those who wait.

Thanks. Guess I'll putz around in Mids for a while. Still tweaking my bane build on my VEAT. For the record, my Wolf/Bane hybrid (no mace attacks) is damn near perfect. Caveat, at least for me that is. Seriously, how fun is this AT?

I know there was a patch today, I was just wondering because the server status page says they are all up. Is anyone else having a problem getting in?

It's actually not a bad magazine. I saw it and after hearing about the article actually did buy it. The review is well, good. The section about the end game raids talked about it's good points and it's bad points. They specifically mentioned the most often repeated complaints (besides the whole "why do we need a trial, the trials are too hard/boring/repetitive) the issues with lag and the unusual rewards system. They even tossed in a suggestion carefully phrased which hinted to the devs to fix it.

The concept art, in my not so humble opinion, was simply something to whet the appetite and get people excited. Though they did make one mistake, refering to the Circle of Thorns as a group that was "coming" with I21.

That being said....oh man, rocket boards. I really hope they come with I21 instantly and not have to wait like with Titan Weapons. Those things would completely fit with the concept I have for my DP/Time corrupter.

My hopes for them....near ground based travel power, slower than Super Speed but with more vertical movement. Ah opposite of heaven, even if it's just a redesign of the power slide I'll still take it.

Not a real first post after a red name?

Curse you Devs. You have taken a game I love and are planning on making it better....how dare you change things for the positive.

Powerset proliferation? Really? Giving things to other AT's that once belonged only to a few? What's next? Super Strength for scrappers?

A new primary/secondary in Time Manipulation? A powerset that I am anxiously awaiting while activally trying not to hold my breath. Seriously I have not been this excited about a powerset since Dual Blades and Willpower.

Titan Weapons? A set that takes my freakish love of Anime and FF7 (Advent Children) and gives me an outlet to play said set while being a hero?

What's next? Making it so if I happen to miss a month's payment I can still play? Calling it Freedom and making it so I can choose when I want to pay?

Seriously Devs, I am so apointed (read; opposite of DISapointed) with the direction this game is going, I may just renew my subscription and keep playing.

This game has finally "gone to the americans"


*The above not real rant is a tongue in cheek reference to the doom criers and nay sayers. I love this game, I love this community, and in all the games I have played, never have the Devs listened to the players as much as in this game. Excellent work Devs, and please keep it up. You are only making me happier and happier with each new announcement*

which is excately what I am doing waiting for Time Manipulation....only problem is quick loading a character when you have no idea what the power animations look like :P

I am melee. For melee I prefer brutes. As for the explenation, well...they are like the best of both worlds between tanks and scrappers.


Tanks: For pure survivability, nothing beats a tank. However damage is mediocre. Now that is not to say they can't deal damage, cause let's face it, they can. However it won't be as high as the other melee classes.

Scrappers: Burst damage. When it absolutely, positively, has to be killed quickly in a stand up fight, bring a scrapper. Survivability is lower than a tank's but they often don't need it because their opponants are defeated.

Brutes: Sustained damage and suvivability. Levels close to a tank's and the longer the fight goes on, the more damage they will do. They won't outdamage a scrapper at the begining of a fight, but the longer it lasts, the closer that damage comparasen goes until it is nearly impossible to tell which is doing better....and without hoping for a crit hit.

Stalkers: umm, to be honest, I don't have alot of personal experiance with this AT. They have been buffed and tweaked over the years and it has helped, but my experiance with them has shown them to be a weaker scrapper once their Assassin Strike is done. Now that being said, I've seen some stalkers that have done amazing things but it just isn't for me.

Blappers: Yeah, these aren't melee characters, these are ranged characters who forgot they can fight at range.

Note: My spelling often sucks. My mother the english teacher is so very not proud of me. That being said, as long as my point get's across, I've accomplished my goal.

now see, I had an idea for dp/time corrupter....by the sounds of it, everyone else will be going controller, so I should be unique...yay.
:P

....you did an all VEAT Lambda or BAF? Has anyone done this? If so, screenies? All VEAT teams, when they first came out, steamrolled everything, how would an all VEAT trial go?
