Luckily CO is just around the corner and will offer me hopefully something meaningful to do again.

Ahhh, here we are...

They could have used all the dull storage space on the side of the base...but that would require editing a mission map as well. -shrug-

On the other hand, it's equivalent to about 3 pints of bitter, which would last no more than, and probably a good degree less than, a couple of hours. So instead of going down the pub at 8, resubscribe to CoX and go down the pub at 9.30

Quite good thinking, though your calculations may be a little off, depends how badly I'm playing pool... there may be sorrows to drown

It's actually quite satifying to blow up large groups of rikti when you're angry

True.
Just not if you are desperately hunting VG Merits >.>
-kills Boss- Damn you, I need Merits! -sob-

Yeah, I was and still am a tad worried about I14 coming out now, tbh...The 'HTML' errors (I dont's see why they suddenly cropped outta nowhere...) in MA were irritating as hell...

But if this extends to Player Character Descriptions too? Thats nothing short of poor. Really, really poor.

Just more proof that they quit caring about the story in this game a long long time ago...

Or maybe that the playerbase is so stupid and eager to moan that they didn't just fail to realise that a total immersion VR environment would be a revolution in troop training, and one of the greatest tools available to Vanguard thanks to it, but that the initial in-universe explanation for the Mission Architect specifically pointed out Positrons interest in the technology as a training simulator. Obviously it doesn't make any sense at all that Vanguard would have an interest in flawlessly realistic but non-fatal training available for their soldiers.

There's a very simple reason why they don't want trial accounts creating arcs. Orphaned arcs. They don't want potentially loads of arcs uploaded by people who aren't going to pay to play the game...

[/ QUOTE ]

Then don't allow them to publish them? And what Spade said, dont allow them to rate?
That way they can try the editing out and experiment and get a good taste of all the I14 goodness...

Sometimes I do wonder if only Avatea in the US offices has a brain. Maybe the Clockwork King stole them all to keep himself supplied? Oh Vahzilok?

Also, a AE building in Rikti War Zone? Let me say that again: an Entainment building in a war zone! I wonder would the rikti want to have a go in making some mission arc too.

What, you expect an mmoRPG to have RP content in it?

Is that a trick question?

Slightly off-topic @ Spades; Since when was Ouro co-op? Oo
Even Cimerora is slightly ? when it comes to being co-op. I mean, sure *Them* getting a base is far from good...I dunno, maybe I just cant take someone serious who ends up purple XD

Heh, yeah, looking at Mids with a Fire/Fire blaster, the rough table I drew is probably woefully inadequate.
It dunno, it just seems odd to have an attack for tankers, which says minor and does minor, then a blaster power which says minor but isn't, really. Maybe its just me

The title is a bit strange, but the idea itself is simple enough to explain.

When looking at powers we all know that some have minor, high, medium, superior, etc etc.
Some of that is a bit vague, however. Superior, IIRC, is not as good as Extreme. Confusing.

Also, and the main point is, what is Minor for one AT is NOT Minor for another AT. An example, for sake of arguement, Tier one ranged attack on a Defender and the same attack on a Blaster. Now, the Defender damage could safely be said to be Minor. On a Blaster, however, the attack is only minor in scale to the rest of the set.

Well, thats fine and dandy, but it often gets somewhat awkward.
Would it or would it not make things easier to have the damage all on a 'Global', i.e. covering all powers, scale?

So, anything that did from;
1 - 20 would count as Minor
21 - 30 would count as Light
31 - 50 would count as Moderate
51 - 70 would count as High
71 - 90 would count as Extreme
91+ would count as Superior

Either that, or an option for a 'global' scale, which could be turned on and off, or something like that?
Just throwing that one out there.

Or perhaps more accurately what's good about claws doesn't cover up elecs short comings.

Claws are fine as they are. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

^ This. Play smarter, don't ask the Devs to make things easier. I think various people have made comments about such things in apst, few of them good
And if anything happens to my Claws stalker I will be less than amused...

Used well, eviserate can be very effective with multiple targets.


[/ QUOTE ]

Eviscerate is now single target. No cone.

In my build I dont have shockwave, because I cant make it fit the concept. This results in all single damage attacks.
And its still not much of a problem. Slotting for accuracy and damage and a bit of endurace reduction in some higher cost ones means that most things die to repeated stabbing. Running solo, the mobs shouldnt be too big to deal with. Running in a team, pick the biggest target and gut it mercilessly.

If you are DYING too fast...thats not claws fault. Thats your secondary. Personally, I have no idea, bar concept, why people pick resistance sets on stalkers. They are squisher than scrappers anyway, so getting hit is going to hurt one way or they other.

And I think if I picked another Primary it would be different. Not better. I wouldnt say any of the Primaries are better. Claws gets decent end costs and a godly ranged attack and a cone ranged if you want it. Others get different + and - points. Simple as.

Claws/Ninja stalker. No problems. Stabby as hell.
Some builds can play as sort of scrappers. But, get this;
They are two ATs. They play different.
/Unsigned, because it works well and is balanced as is.

Encountered a few errors with Self Destruction on live recently.

First was when clicking the power, and it said it was active. Was killed, and the power failed to take effect, but counted as used.

Second time was used when hovering, no animation although the countdown was clearly visible. Killed, and no result, except counting as a power used.

Bugged, I assume?

I do /sign some for of letting the team, not just the leader read the dialog parts. Maybe some sort of 'Contact chat log'? Like a clues section, but with contacts and their past dialogues in them. Maybe.

I had to stop myself laughing at some of them
And another sad reminder of how petty people can be on an otherwise quite welcome thread.

Doubt it will ever happen.
Tbh, thats what test server is FOR. Yeah, they happen to test the new issues on it. But you can also have infinite respecs (sort of) to try out powers, etc etc.
And Arena. Yeah, no infinite health, but hey.

[/ QUOTE ]


Actually, they test new issues on it, and they happen to let you use it as a "build respec test" server in the mean time.

Meh, I've only used it since MA came out.

This would certainly help with some of the rottes mid way in CoH. Y'know, the ones where they thought it would be a good idea to bounce you over about ten different zones during an arc? -SIGH-

I'm going to regret this, but;
