    Are you kidding me? 20 unique maps (as in the current game now doesn't have them?) This is freaking AWESOME!

    I just don't get the hordes of people first off that say they want new "dev created content" when we have this awesome tool at our disposal. To tell you the truth, many arcs in AE blow the "dev created ones" out of the water, you just need to go RUN THEM!

    If you don't do them because you only like grinding purples, then please quit whining about wanting new content... you can grind purples wherever people.

    20 new maps and GMs now..I can't wait to see the new content coming out of AE..we have endless good stuff there!
    I think unique is a catergory for AE maps, S dont think the maps will be AE only, just 20 of the unique maps from the 'real' game brought into AE design.

    I kinda consider these forums to be pretty middle of the road compared to many corporate/company forums, and among the nicer amongst the gaming forums.

    I really dont find it as bad as forum legend makes it out to be.
  5. I was caught a couple of times using base TPer and thinking it would give me dayjob credit. Slightly annoying.

    IIRC as well, there is no dayjob icon in powers while in base.

    Having _only_ played for two years, I sometimes wonder if it's possible I'll see all the content. At least blue side

    I'm going to miss the Posi TF as it stands now ):

    Wont be upset to get rid of my VG supercomputer that required so much stuff just to run the SM SF.

    More acclodae power that will be pretty easy to acheive (exploration): mixed feelings about that.

    To be honest... as long as you can e-mail Inf... you can e-mail "anything". Since Inf is the "money" of this game... you don't have to mail someone that new chair that they want, you can just send them the cash so that they can buy it themselves.
    Except redside. Still can use SG bases for enhancements to swap anyway.

    I do enough TFs and espically with my Dom, that I intentionaly get some sets lower, to ensure I get my set bonues at a wider level range.
  8. I dont share your confidence, and feel certain the devs wouldnt mention other fixes in down the future issues pipe line.

    The assumption that becauses its been working that way for a long while means the devs wont change isnt an assumption I would make.

So it's good to put it in a power you're going to fill with other enhancements for maximum effect... such as health.
    That is going to be fixed next issue as per open beta patch notes.

    Fixed a bug that would cause Numina's Convalescence: +Regen/+Recovery to have its effects boosted by being slotted in a power with enhancements that would increase regeneration or recovery rates.
  10. I like the geysers & there is jet packs for puravhes. I dont think it needs changing as that is part of the zpnes appeal.

    I'd like to see it opened to redside, the Ouroboros style suggested by peter peter would be a good way of doing it.
  11. Also right click on the chat window, and hit Channel search.

    Join on some with bigger numbers/populated chat channels, and find player there.

    Just like the ol' time castle mazes
  19. Interesting, I had hoped for the complete collection being prepurchasable.

    WIll probably only prebuy on one account & complete collection on other.

    Your stuff is only guaranteed to be safe on active accounts, ie being unsubbed for 60 days can lose stuff, compared to an active account can go years without logging a toon in to check market.

    so increased drop rate might well mean no PvP IO going for cap price again...

    Same. I buy it now when I want it, but am patient to make the money.
  23. I'm thinking that with more than one closed beta you will be in next, or the one after, eg for demon summoning or xxxxx.

    People who were in the just finnished one may stay on, or be booted for next.

    You still could send a ticket on to customer support.
