Season 7 was pretty bad too. The models were gone, replaced with CGI and that laughtrack was just 'ugh'.


The problem I find with RD is that Grant AND Naylor helped make it great together. Series 3-6 was probably the best era for the show. The style remained relatively consistent over those four years too and there was a good blend of physical and mental jokes from the best scene of series 3's Polymorph; the polymorph's tightening underwear to the 'use the teleporter' from the jail in series 6's Rimmerworld.


I hope there's a better set of writing staff for this one.

I'd hazard a guess that it will be the 19th which is after the promotional period ends and everyone has their accounts validated with the 'Constant' badge (and whatever NCSoft uses as a flag on the master account side of things).

Or have the IDF come in to remove the menace.

And indoor areas should be a insta-kill dead zone to mobs like the WW/BM ground is.

Okay, yes. I left out all that and more for a simpler analogy. The point was he'd still have to die to get all that. In my analogy Porky represents the bases I've made and while losing them to get a better system seems okay by the majority of posters here; I don't want to see them just go. I'd rather settle on a Eureka style meat farm that is; getting the better system but being able to transition the old bases across so everybody wins. Then the choice becomes ours as to whther we want to change things for the better ourselves ie. break down our current bases to make use of the new system.

Thinking about it I was reminded of David Nakayama. A little while ago he asked us what we'd prefer if costumes got an overhaul. The hyptheticals he gave were 'keeping the old' and 'out with the old, bring in the new' and the con for the latter was 'change is scary'. A few pages in and we reached a happy medium of compromise: bringing in the new and keeping the old but giving the creator another pass, tidying things up.


I'd be all for a base system revamp so long as we got to keep the old stuff too. Now, excuse me while I make a bacon sandwich.

Which I hope it doesn't. As said in the other thread; there's storage issues to consider. But to lean on that metaphor; everyone seems to want a cheese and ham omelette and that means slaughtering Porky, the lovable pig who's been part of the family for years. I don't want Porky slaughtered for what might be. I'd rather have the plain omelette (not the complete descruction but the interface change).


While I could take you up on that offer; you'd have to get an EU account for an actual tour of my pet project for the last year. But I have been posting the pictures of it here. It is a counterpart group that I ended up inheriting. It started with an idea of being a hidden base inside a sewer access but I went with a bookshop with a secret exit to the base below. Since it was made more homely (the living space); I've had nothing but praises about it. So much so that the weekly meet-ups have taken place there in recent months.

Long answer: nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooo.



At this point I imagine David and co. are doing the hard graft of actually converting these pieces for PC use. I doubt they'd go to the trouble of asking us what we wanted only to turn around and not do it.

I don't think I could.


After the Brighton office had a major restructure (read: layoffs), there was a lot of talk of players about whether the EU servers would soon follow. Now as it turned out it was mostly panic-posting due to the absense of confirmation/statement from our EU rep at the time about what was going on but it did make me think; "could I start over on the US servers?".

Thinking about it; the answer was "no". Not to the same degree. I had a plan, mainly from boredom, about consolidating all my alts into a single group on a single server, if they'd offered, if I had to 'start over'.

As it happened it was just doomsaying run rampant with speculation of what might be happening while they sorted out the office (the EU servers are still here nearly three years later and moved nextdoor to the US rack) but that answer still lingers in my mind.

More recently during the Cyber Monday; my master account was banned because of an external hacking attempt. Now this was early hours of Monday morning so I had several hours to contemplate 'starting over' again. Same thing but add in vet rewards and the bundles of salvage and effort in reclaiming what bases I could not to mention all the 'never-again' stuff that I'd built up in my time here. Thankfully it ended happily, I'm here, with a G-M telling me that someone had tried to access my account from 'elsewhere' and about 50 codes later I had access restored. A long 36 hours.

HOWEVER, to rope my thoughts in, I'd find the best way is if they could 'start from scratch' but find a way of being able to import the current state of bases. A lot of builders have put masses of effort to make some extraordinary creations. I myself have an bookshop concealing an underground base (one that I've spent most of the last year creating), an airship base, an Arachnos base as well as my own personal bases one which has a forest room, a cinema, a workshop and a large library.

I'd prefer still having all the stuff that is available with extras like the empty beaker rack and all the new furniture even if the interface and system was rebuilt. I spent a lot of time on my bases so I'd like to keep them, even if the interface became more advanced.

A mind/fire dominator is one of the good combos along with mind/nrg. Fiery Assault would give you the fire powers and doms have Fire Mastery that would give you some more fire-based powers like Rise of the Phoenix, Fire Shield and Rain of Fire.

From how I read it; it will be a pack available to buy but as part of the loyalty scheme this year anyone who's subbed for the loyalty time will get it for free.

Indeed, one less set of blades for all my sword-wielders to use/unlock.

In addition. I read as part of the Vanguard pack so it'll be like the Mystic Fortune/Secondary Mutation - a seperate power.

Don't let that stop you


Definitely a nice choice of loyalty reward. Now I can focus on getting enough for the VG salvage stack. I hope David managed to get the second VG belt and the back detail in. I think my head would literally explode like that guy in Scanners.

Pretty much the only reason I went for it.

Yes, after two days of solid grind for it (and thankfully before the full health reclamators were installed in PvP zones).

They recharge based off the location. My last DJ to get is Pilot and everytime I log in I have the speed increase temp power. I imagine the accolades are exclusive so you can't have two of each so it's 1 total.

However getting the exploration badge, Depths of Time, or completing the ITF does since they're both badges involving a use and/or exposure to time-travel.

I'm not sure if the Roman badge does too as I always have the Ouro portal ASAP with every toon these days.

^.^

Actually I've used that page to pick my choice by a simple choice system:

1} Which can I get the most enhancement from?
OR
2}Which would be the best fit?

My main Incarnate is a mind/ff troller and I've spent years getting his build just right. His build was 'done' so I went with option 1. I chose the Nerve Radial path leading up to the Nerve Radial Paragon since I can get boosts of accuracy, hold, confuse, fly and defense buffs (five out of six of the available enhances from the ultra-rare).

My third Incarnate is a Night Widow. While her endurance is managable; it's horrendously low at times when she's not using Elude (which then has the endurance crash at the end). Originally I was going with Option 1 and choose Musculature Core path leading up to the Core Paragon to enhance all her damage moves, defense debuffs and her one immobilize patron power. Then I decided to compensate for her endurance issues and plump for option 2 and choose the Cardiac Core Paragon to reduce all her non-auto powers, increase her damage resistence and the range of five powers instead.

My second incarnate is my MM and it was pretty much a free choice with her since she hasn't had any endurance issues since inherent fitness and has moves that could benefit from every Alpha. So I went option 2 and chose Musculature Core Boost to enhance her damage and defence debuff powers. It may lead to the Radial or Core Paragon.


So I don't really work with the numbers at all, I go for what feels right or best based on the alt in question.

Right, thanks for the replies everyone. I'll keep an eye out for its return.

Yes, I forgot about the ramped shelves room with the supervisor's office version but they do have the same racks in the centre with mega-bloom.

I had the same problem with the Praetorian lab maps when GR launched but they were eventually toned down. Originally I thought it was a graphics glitch on my mac client playing in low resolution but then I switched to my laptop and they were even brighter.
