It's the ability to form new level pacts that is being disabled until a new system is implemented.

Well, it does clearly state that level pacts will be availible during the head start and disabled after the head start has ended.

yup, that's what i'm getting too, and looking at the "Error during last operation" tread in this forum, seem there was a maintenance happing a little while ago, though i se no notification of it anywhere.

Not a very good comparison at all. My fave band happens to be american. The gap between their last 2 UK was 13 years. But then again, I don't send the boys in the band, or their management a mothly fee each and every month to listen to their music. And when they released their new album last year I didn't have to download it on line or import it to own it because they released it in the UK and the rest of europe too. And when I pay for one of their albums or peice of merchandise, I get no more or LESS than anyone else in the world as I am paying more or less the same amount for them.

I by no means claim I am entitled to a better service than the US. But do feel I am paying the same amount for a lesser service. I'm not entirly sure a server list merge would solve the problem, as all that would do is spread the existing player base out a bit more and no-one would see much difference. Yes, the EU players would get access to the NA servers while (for the most part at least) all the NA players are tucked up in their beds or off to work/school/college, as Samuel_Tow has already demonstrated but that is only going to make a miniscule difference. EU needs marketing. Players can't be expected to play the game if they cannot find the game. The past few years I have been playing I have seen players leaveing through one thing or another (AE farming, PvP "Nerfs" etc) and with no advertisement/promotion over here mean that they aren't being replaced with new players. About the only time I have seen CoX in any form of media over here is seeing CoX posters/stands and such in the background of the comic book store in The Big Bang Theory.

As the saying goes, You have to Speculate to Accumulate

This just doesn't work for me. Helping the loyalists does not neccercarily mean you are evil. Remember Preatoria is built around Emporer Cole's Propaganda machine. Hero A Could believe that propaganda and help stop the resistance from planting the bombs that would kill innocent civilians. This doesn't make him evil just because he helped an evil ragime. His ends may have unwittingly had and ultimate evil outcome, helping Tyrant, but to him he was protecting the innocent, an act of good.

I'm sure if GR Is going to work as you predict the missions would be more obvious you are doing evil while working with the guys who claim to be the good guys.

How I think they will work though is, there will be acts of "Good" and "Evil" on both sides, as that is basically what GR is about isn't it? The shades of grey. Heros doing evil and villians doing bad and such. So I would expect that there will be loyalist missions that will boost your good stat while some resistance missions boost your evil stat. Like taking part in your example mission, planting a bomb in a public building which would kill innocent people. Your working for the good guys, but performing an evil act by killing innocents!


So, as to the OP's question, it can be any combination. Performing act's of good with an intent for evil is still evil. As is performing acts of evil with the intent of good... the ends do not justify the means. Even performing good for good intents could enable an evil outcome. Killing an evil tyrant to save the world could allow a worse tyrant to take his place and make things even worse than they were.

Ah, but doing that would miss out the 2 free L1 damage enhancements I believe!

This isn't always the case, on my NRG/NRG blaster I have just a couple of seconds between hastens and with conserve power slotted for recharge in long battles I hit hasten then blast away till my end gets to 1/4 then hit CP and it regains my end faster than i'm using it so that by the time it wears off and i get back to about 1/4 end it's ready to fire again.

I think you missed the point of what I was saying. MM is a mental power, arms and legs, or any other part of the body need not move. Just do 1 set of animations that can be used reguardless of wether a weapon is in the hand or not. Not one for each weapon, because thematically, all you need to do is look at your target to "Think" your power to work.

So a power anim that is more VFX than animation could be used across all combat modes rather than one for each!
