It appears that the Freebie is carrying through the weekend as it has another 71 hours to go so....
Free Hat! Free Hat! Free Hat! Free Hat! Free Hat! Free Hat! -
Free Hat! Free Hat! Free Hat! Free Hat! Free Hat! Free Hat! -
They do it with the belt options. When I briefly had access to the other Vanguard belt; it had the thigh guards mounted onto it just as the more recent Imperial Dynasty belts have thigh coverings.

I foresee five days of GMs at the support office going "GOLLY GOSH DARN, another batch of PANCAKING Celestial fixes!" and the loss of several keyboards

Quote:Think that was i20 or around the same time they were doing the code streamlining to make the iTrials run smoother. I have been extensively base editing and haven't had anything recent akin to crashing in the editor.Updated the list to account for the new TPers and broken beacon fixes.
Dunno, if folks have noticed, but I've been re-coloring the text on items that have been addressed along with a little note as to when.
I do recall that sometime back (i19? 20?), there was an effort to address these points:
- Game Client can shutdown while you are zoning to your base with the message "You have been forcibly disconnected from the server. MapShuttingDown"
- Game crashes after extensive time (2+ hrs) spent editing base.
.
Quote:On Crafted Items:
- Veterans base items are poorly implemented. The badges should unlock recipes on the worktables (similar to invention badges). Advantages include,
- You won't fill personal inventory just to get multiples of one item.
- A very minor craft cost may give people pause before dropping massive amounts of items just because they can.
This one was also partly 'fixed' with i22. Certain Defense items are currently in an always-on state like the FF object and the stealth supressors. -
Anything X-Men is in the hands of Fox, anything Spidey-related is in Sony's hands and they've already rebooted Spiderman in less than a decade after the original trilogy they put out (and not in the same way as Batman which had Arnold Schwarzeneggar making ice jokes and bat-nipples).
She-Hulk I can see happening somewhat because her becoming a hulk isn't an either-or situation which could lead to a 'finding your path' storyline much like in Monsters vs Aliens where the female lead has a 'nice' life but when things change her she has to find a new outlook and embraces being Ginormica.
Sif could also be a good lead-up/companion movie to Avengers 2 if they give her a bad guy that could be defeated and show up later, part of a second tie-in round of movies. She could always handle the return of Red Skull too before he returns to Earth to face Captain America. -
As long as this guy keeps drawing; no-one should complain of Statescrotch or Penny-wrath.
I was thinking "Phwoar, look at those tits and those ab-tit... what the hell are those? Argh, eyebleach please." -
Quote:Nope, still uses "Advanced" IXP to unlock it. So no, they didn't wait too long since everyone HAS to run the Magisterium Trial four or five times to unlock the slot.Doesn't it take Advanced iXP to open the Hybrid slot? Or has that changed since I last looked at Beta?
Isn't the only place to gain Advanced iXP in the Magisterium Trial? Or has that changed since I last looked at Beta?
The problem I have with it is by trying the Empyrean unlock and now "Advanced" psychic IXP; there's going to be "Advanced" physical IXP too. So the entire playerbase, regardless of whether they're on Freedom or Zunkunft is being treated with equal concern; that we're all salvage-hoarding farmers who do the trials so we can stock up on everything for the next set of everything.
Oh and that if you don't like trials: "tough, you must run them now, lol". -
Quote:It's a bit of a running joke too.The whole Tim Burton/Johnny Depp thing has more than run its course, IMO.
Oh look, it's another movie by those two...and what's this? Depp's playing a pale and eccentric character? Helen Bonham Carter is also in it? Wow...original...
"Oh look, it's another film by Tim Burton and his wife.... and Helena Bonham Carter's in it too" -
Quote:Well in my case; I like slowing myself down for Pratoria and doing a bit of self-levelling by pacting off my other accounts so my main account's alts can get past 1-20. Sometimes I just like to have the option to pair off a couple of alts so I can level one or the other and both get the love even if it's only half as much.With sidekicking, what exactly is the problem with being a few levels off?
Not that I hope the LP doesn't return, just curious as to why it matters.
For now though; I'm PLing some copy alts to do it the hard way -
Although; is there an ETA on their return?

Quote:"Cor, you look hot!"
It would definitely be quirky to have DT on it at some part of the run. Who knows, he may already be lined up.... no pun intended. -
Yeah, another fillery episode. Lion-O trying to get with Pumyra (what's he up to now? 7th, 8th saving of her life?), miracle elixir, Tygra high as a kite (you silly goose
), giant monsters and lots of wierd faces. Lots of flitting back and forth between comedy and drama.
Oh and a brief action shot nod-to-the-original when they're first attacked and Lion-O leaps back just as Lion-O did in the old title sequence. -
Quote:END THREAD.We're not going to stop using the Admin channel to run these events.
I do understand, and apologize that we may be disturbing your game play for a short period of time, however the admin channel is what we use to be certain that everyone knows the event is happening for the duration of the event. Because these events are relatively spontaneous this year (I can't allocate 4-6 hours a day for the entire team for a month solid to schedule the events out) it's very important that everyone know a live event is happening.
Take solace in the fact that we are usually only present for 30-45 minutes. Also, keep in mind that some of the "admin chat" is actually done in the "zone admin" channel which only hits the map it's on.
In the last month or so I actually saw this happen. Admin announcement came through and then nothing. Checked Help chat and saw banter being thrown around, half a conversation.
Just take solace in the fact that the automated event no longer uses global admin like the first round of Rikti invasions did. -
Nevermind Stargate or it's dramallama spin-off; Star Trek got me to play my empath.
Proton Volley or as I call it "Fire Photon torpedoes!" -
Rather poetically I started watching but my flash crashed right at the same point as the vehicle did.
-
The classic, no longer possible, event message for a certain zone event:
"Zombies have appeared in Dark Astoria"
Well duh, they've been there for years -
Quote:Yeah, definitely a filler episode.Thundercats: Didn't care much for this episode. While giving the Wilykids the spotlight was fine, the plot was sort of dull to me. Also, how is stealing candy and toys okay, but stealing money is crossing a line?
The money thing I get was supposed to be the realisation that they were in too deep but it was a bit 'steal, steal, steal, wait steal money? That's too far'. Especially as they were happy stealing cash in the first ep.
Definitely building up to the finalé by breaking up the action eps. -
Oh, another thing that I recently remembered - the /info command.
Target anything, friend, for or other and type /info in the chat window and it will bring up the info window much the same way as as finding the command in the list of Actions in the Target box. -
Quote:The one little desire I've had for roughly 8 years now is to have a version of the female "Bikini 2" item textured in the "shiny" style.
I've always wanted to make a unitard outfit with the existing "tights shiny" top matching with a shiny version of the "Bikini 2" bottoms.
Surely something like that would be trivial for the great Dink to accomplish.Quote:Been wanting the same thing! Sleek tights gives off a less "painted on" feeling than the regular tights. To bad it just doesn't have a bikini bottom that matches up with it :/
Defense for example is a very nice texture of top to wear but it only comes under Tights meaning the smallest body coverage is the equivalent of a wetsuit to the knees and elbows. It would be nice to have a Defense style 'bikini' so we could have a leg-cut leotard in the Defense pattern. And vice-versa for tops as well. We have the Tanker top but it also only comes in clean Tights pattern. I'd like a Defense pattern in that shape too. There's a lot of nice patterns which could do with simply appearing in varying shapes.
On a side-note about w/skin options taking up a colour choice; something that has been bugging me for the opposite reason is how the arms are constructed in the Jackets section. Since they were made a Short Sleeve option was added but the arms underneath are default bare arms that only take a skin colour choice and are not affected by the Chest choice. If this technique could be duplicated for w/skin options (though I suspect that the 'arms' aren't connected and the jacket hides this) then it would free up potential colour addition for the w/skin choices. -
Quote:Oh dur, why didn't I think of that. That's also how the dual pistols change ammo toggles change the secondary damage effects.Staff Mastery might provide the model for this after all.
Scrapper Staff Mastery grants you three "powers" (the stances) you can put on your power tray and switch between, but they have no "slots" and only serve to make the OTHER powers perform differently. Such a mecahnic might permit Devices to let a character switch between "combat mine" and "pre-combat mine" freely, without giving him extra slots (and thus without letting him get extra set bonuses).
But Stalker Staff Mastery does NOT let you choose different stances -- you're stuck with one, although you do at least get its benefits. So a Trapper could get limited to only the "pre-combat mine" he already has, under this model (should the Devs choose, for balance reasons).
And we could incorporate the Remote Detonator ustilising the new situational power tray so you don't have to sacrifice multi-placement of bombs by only allowing one click to place and another to detonate. -
Quote:I think it's perfectly designed for teaching players to pick their targets or for Brotherly Love (which was bugged when it first launched) is great practice for balancing your assault.It's not hard to find a Death From Below or Drowning in Blood, but it is hard to make sure that everyone involved is willing to pull the Vazhilok boss or able to help take out two big mobs at once. I had no issue getting Sidereal Researcher or whatever the one for clearing Lost minions is, so I don't think there's an issue with having mastery badges on low level stuff, but I do think that the badges need to factor in what's appropriate for the general player base of that level.
The Cadaver badge for example is there as an example of picking your target and not just spamming every move you have, a lesson in picking single-target moves, pulling a boss and maybe even bringing adequate buffs along to assist; having a good team composition.
Brotherly Love is another good one for future practise on dual-targets. One of the tasks of the BAF trial is to take out Siege and Nightstar within 10 seconds of each other but it previously only happened in that trial and nowhere else. Now if someone tries for the badge here in DiB they have a previous experience when they eventually do get to BAF.
As for vets; your best bet is to find a global badgehunting channel. Lot of people organise taskforces, trials and general badgehunts specifically for badges. Just recently nabbed all 3 DiB badges on my MM with a global-organised run. Definitely easier when everyone is on the same page and not just trying to convince someone with an itchy set of trigger-fingers to stop hitting things. -
Time and patience.
Currently there is no 'repeat' command for parts so it's literally select-move-place. What you do find is that as you attune to the space inside a room you do speed up the process until it's intuitive.
