Kind of like how saying Bloody in the U.K. is like dropping an F-bomb here.

[/ QUOTE ]

Lolz. Who told you that? This Englishman occasionally uses bloody in polite company.

[/ QUOTE ]

Now spaz, that can get a game banned .

Something also to consider is the player may be having a bad day [or conversely a good day] and having more trouble than they really should. Most ratings are going to be one shot/one chance really. So keep in mind that even if a single person found it too hard, it may not be because of your mission being too hard .

Think it may have been asked already, but can't find it so assuming it's in another thread.

Is the destroyed tech lab available? [The Code Merlin arc one]

[ edit / add ]
Sigh, I was correct, it was asked in another thread. And the answer is sadly no. Oh well, for another update.

Not too surprising, that said, will be interesting to see if that means that missions that break some of the difficult expectations for badge rewards won't be eligible for DC. Y'know, to maintain that intergity.

A lot of people have varying understandings of these sets and the soulbound allegiance set and how they were intended to affect pets.

Does anyone have the dev info when these were implemented. And if that info does indicate that ONLY the summon recharge time was supposed to benefit and never the pet was there any dev followup done to stem the tide of posts indicating the belief that RIP and SA did improve pet performance?

edit: this is all I could find in the patch notes regarding RIP and I could find no dev comments what so ever
dec 2, 2008

Added new IO Sets and new IO Set Categories:

# Recharge Intensive Pets

* Call to Arms, Level 10-30
* Expedient Reinforcement, Level 30-50

So I guess we were completely left to make up our own minds about what they actually did? (anyone find anything else?)

[/ QUOTE ]

At least one dev knew about recharge bonuses in MM pets being troublesome in Oct 2005.

Rather like the people who right now are watching their very expensive Soulbound Allegiance and other rare IOs be turned into junk investments.

Just to be fair here. If the use has gone down such that folks are removing the enhancements from their slots, doesn't it also follow that their market value has diminished?

As someone who shifts from desktop to laptop and back again a bit, I wonder how 'portable' the architect files will be portable? Refering obvious to pre-publish status .

[ QUOTE ]
I hope they fixed the missing charater slots part. *crosses finguers*

[/ QUOTE ]

That's not a server patch issue, that's a seperate account system, that said, I thought it was fixed, would suggest checking the dev tracker posts on it, and if you're still lacking submit a support ticket.

[ QUOTE ]
This is incredible.. BUT.. I only have 1 request. PLEASE allow EBs in the player-created content and put Hardcase in as an EB.. so my villain can spend an entire ARC beating the crap out of that sanctimonious jerk!

I want a show-down mission.

U'Kon Gr'ai versus RV Positron.

I have been playing MMOs since EQ was in beta. I don't think any news in any game I have tried has ever impressed me or made me so excited as this. I love this dev team.

I dunno, when I saw the Storyteller system at SWG I was damn impressed, now, in a game I can still talk my friends into playing? Bonus.

Lighthouse has said it is a few months out yet.

[/ QUOTE ]

fxt. Lighthouse said that closed beta was gonna be for a few more weeks, than we got open beta which will prob be a few weeks.... so I'm saying june earliest. though if they want to prove me wrong......

[/ QUOTE ]

The question was regarding 'everyone can get on test server', no?

Not live. So I'm confused. Because you 'fixed' a quote saying what was actually said, to a fabricated statement. Than in your explanation of it, you said the original statement again. Oh well.

[/ QUOTE ]

Lol i really got to start reading things fully.... Reading Comphrension FTL.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, , was confusing me and making me think my comprehension failed there. Which was quite possible .

I'm very interested to see where CoH/V ends up in 12 months time as NC^2 increases staff numbers but also competition from other MMOs increases.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oddly enough, I see the incresaed staff and commitment to CoX as part of the reason one of those competitors dropped [I really don't think MGS wanted to get into a market share fight between an established game that was still supported and SOE].

Now Champions, time will tell. I'm just really really cautious with Champions because alot of what's being said sounds like what was said about CoH before launch too.

I'm not sure where or how I found this, so take it with a huge grain of salt, because it could just be the fabrication of my sleep deprived mind.

The medi-port network villain side is due to Dr Aeon's work with the PTS. I want to say it comes up in the story arc [not the TF] involving the PTS, but that may be wrong, and well, if that's the case, it's very easy to miss.

Then it's different in Flashback than it is in standard play. It's not part of the arc outside of Ouro.

Look carefully at the Wiki. It's not part of the arc there.

I'll take your word that it's part of the arc in Ouro. I've never bothered to do the arc there because I knew that's not where it was normally.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's part of the Arc in base too, I had the little notebook on wheeler when I completed the mission two days ago [not Ouro]. I think a big part of the problem is it seems that Tomax's [and I guess the Paragon Wiki] are only showing the last 3 missions of the arc.

[ edit ]
Ah, it only appears that the clues/story arc notes appear in the clues tab on that 3rd mission, which is kinda appropiate if you realize you're being setup the entire time .

I just want to say, I kinda like the idea. Of course, I also liked Adventure Packs in EQ2.

If you don't like it, simple way to express your displeasure with it [rant on the forums, and NOT buy it ].

Wonder if this means I'll be moderated again for not having a smiley in one of my posts...

And just for safe measure, here's the smiley .

Honestly, a much more important feature than fancy splash screens would be the ability to change the order of our toons at the login screen.

Also, you are about to dump 250 million info into the economy. You realize that has an inflationary effect, right?

How about you counteract that by dropping 10 LotG recharge, 10 Numina's recov/regen, and 10 Miracle regens onto the WW at 10% below the current sell cost.

Then at least you've done something to counter the inflation a bit.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fun question, how exactly is it inflationary? The 250 mil inf was already in the economy. It's not being 'created' by an artifical force.

And re the order of the toons appearance, well, can you figure out a way to do that currently with the game? If so, kudos, make your 3RD PARTY PROGRAM to do it and help everyone else out .

Same here, I don't think most Texans consider us folk very Texan though.

Can you blame us? You have a coast. Admittantly, it's the Gulf, but hey. For fun though, consider how different Amarillo and El Paso are from 'the rest of Texas'.

Hmm, interesting incentive to go full-time blocks or shift to timecards... Annoying, very. I know if my card starts to do that, I will be grumbling to them :x.

[ QUOTE ]
If the RSF isn't hard enough for you, go do some team pvp on test.

PvE is meant for everyone, not just the elite. The RSF should have roughly the same level of effort as hami. Considering that people put thier stuff on auto for hami, and go afk, or brawl him and go afk, the RSF shouldnt be any harder or time consuming.

[/ QUOTE ]

Eh, I disagree there. Of course, there's the pvp level of balance, but I don't care too much there.

And, well, Heros are getting the Statesman TF soonish to 'compete'.

Now, just need a giant space jelly bean to unleash upon for some good-old fashion 200+ person farm fests...

Hmm, on second thought, I hope Hamidon gets changed after the Statesman TF comes out. Something not so much a raid encounter .

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
So is there any kind of consensus on the impact of the level change? Can Team SubOptimal now skip the pets and missiles? Has anyone run it with Team Optimal? Protea, you have any opinions on it yet? I haven't gotten to run it with the new levels, but I'm hoping the challenge is still very much there.

Sentinel

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not in a position to test it, but I don't see how dropping the levels by 1 will change the necessary tactics, especially if the non-standard codes for the Hero behavior are still in effect. It seems like it should just make the optimal teams able to beat it a bit faster is all.

[/ QUOTE ]

It deadens more of the impact of facing something +4 to you, which can help a bit, but yea. The impact of having the entire mission full of PToDs is what limits at least the Dominator in this mission.

Flight. It's just iconic for one thing, and I like being able to precising control my movement. Teleport is close, but still not quite.

I wouldn't rule out the possibility that a couple of the AVs have the ability to hit a phase shifted enemy. Afterall it is possible for the base defences to do it now so its not impossible from a coding side like it used to be.

[/ QUOTE ]

We haven't given this ability to any AV's or GM's.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just out of curiosity, doesn't this kinda mean you can turn the Forced Phase Shift powers into toggles?

...The Hamidon and the Mitochandria were specifically exempted from the original AV/GM changes. As such, there is nothing to roll back for them, in this regard.

[/ QUOTE ]
Oh, so it's not like you guys forgot to mention in your patch notes the OTHER things you specifically decided to do to him and the Mitos, right? You kept mum on purpose? Brilliant.

[/ QUOTE ]

They have always stated that Hamidon will continue to change to be a challenge.

[/ QUOTE ]


Which is prolly why I find it interesting that despite this change, he was still beat.
