  1. When did it stop doing -fly? I've been pounding longbow Eagles with it, they flip then fly away. Did I miss a patch note?

    That's my plan (if I make it dam football!)
  3. I've seen it. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I rezzed in the hospital and then saw red numbers pop up over my head.
  4. Sorry for what happened to your Boy. I wish him a speedy recovery. I can only imagine what you were going through. I can imagine what is going through your head right about now.
  5. Ah crud. Calvin won't talk to me any longer, says he may have something for me later. Oh well, I won't be level pacting any more Praetorians.

    Thanks
  6. I have taken my Brute through the resistance Crusader story line, but have run out of contacts at level 18.1. Are there newspaper/scanner type missions in Praetoria?

    I would like to avoid street sweeping if at all possible.

    Destroyer Blast Masters run from 1-15.

    Saying something in Praetoria is "just like" something you encounter at much higher levels is poor memory at best, outright deceit at worst. Things that aren't a problem when you're running on SO enhancements can be colossal obstacles when you only have TO and DO enhancements to count on.
    Sorry, but I often play over my head and end up taking on scrapyarders early on. OK, so How about those Arachnos troops and Longbow that you face from 1-50. Nullifers and mini guns are overpowered in the early game. no one complains. Arachnos ambushes you at doors before you even zone in completely, forget about being a mastermind for some missions, you will be dead long before you summon pets(which is why pets zone with you now I bet)

    Its a new game, do you expect to play the same way that you have been for years? That's not healthy for the game as a whole in my opinion.

    (sorry if i am sounding a little fanboi-ish. I realize that I am starting to sound like someone that I despise on these boards, grrrr)

    Those zone level things are funny, you can go into them a lot earlier than stated. Hell, if you want all of your mayhems, you had better go in asap, or you WILL miss some.

    FYI, I run with drops ONLY to 25. Remember, I think that I was the only person protesting the loss of TO's. With Nems, if you have the wrong tactics and rush in headlong kill an LT(as you get used to in the early game, take out the big boy first mentality and all), you are dead on a squishy, TO/DO/SO/IO it don't matter.

    I have come to trust this dev team to a point. Am I happy with all of their changes? Hell to the no. I don't even like half of them, but I realize that jawing on the forums is akin to howling at the moon. They will fix it when THEY are ready. We have to adapt or quit.

    Even though they don't feel overpowered to you, can you at least acknowledge that the current level of difficultly and subsequent frustration might be too much for new players and the less experienced who are likely to quit long before they've learned said tactics?

    I aknowledge it. It can be a PITA for a newbie, but I also think that the 1-20 Hero Game is a joke. The 1-20 Villain game is harder, and now the 1-20 Praetorian game is on par with that. I am fine with that.
  9. nope. I was just giving my opinion.

    My first few encounters with Nemesis taught me all I needed to know about trying to rush in head long all the time. I still don't think that they are that bad. They don't feel overpowered to me.

    They gotta EARN that epic AT somehow

    My opinion as someone who started with CoV, I honestly do not find these new mobs that much harder than the content on the rogue isles. These Blast Masters are nothing but Demolitionists. Use tactics and pull. The only thing I see thatis out of wach is the range that the Sword (whatever name it is) Bosses have insane range on their dual blade attacks.

    I do think the ambushes could use a little toning down though.

    To ebb on the safe side, I'll say it should require build up and hidden status to make it auto hit.
    Oh so signed. Hide/Build up/AS "miss" waiting.... I truly hate that.
  16. Last night, I had one slot left on protector,claimed it, it's still unavailable. Transferred a character, he didn't move. I can't make new characters because my server is full. I'm a sad panda
  17. Happy Birthday Dude!

    Hope you had a good one

    I did the same, only to refill the slots. THIS time I will be much more careful with character management

    Wait, there was actually a monster in the movie? I couldn't get past the shaky camera, phones that worked in the Subway, and annoying characters. That aint the NYC I live in, so i cut it off after 5 minutes.

    I wasted 5 whole dollars on that movie.

    What did the monster(s) look like?
