Devs, love me wings. Now bring on me LEWTZ.

BTW - Can we use Wentworth's early?

I don't really have anything substantial to say, since all I've done since the download is running one mission.

But as a long-suffering Trick Arrow player, I just had to come here to say that I deeply love the graphics adjustments. My burning Oil Slick actually looks like a fire now! And the little green cloud from Acid Arrow is cool too.

One thing, which I have filed as a bug.
I came into faultline through the Pocket D enternace and found I couldn't interact with anything in Faultline, i.e. I didnt receive the Old Fashioned badge despite being directly on top of it (and checkign to make sure I didnt already have it for some reason), I was unable to exit Faultline throught the tunnel or through the base portal. I did get out by going back trhough Pocket D. I then went to FF where everything worked normally.

As I said I filed a bug but would be interested if anyone else saw the same thing.

I noticed when placing salvage into base storage, that the Halloween event salvage no longer has their unique graphic. Text is still the same.

I have a question or three.

Did the I8 patch to live servers include the server/game stability patches that were on the test patch notes? If so could you apply them all directly and exclusively to Grandvile? :P

There's a Pocket D entrance to the new Faultline?

I'll have to check it out when I get home. Which entrance was replaced, or is this on top of the existence entrances?

So heroes now have 4 entrances to Pocket D, and villains still have only 3?

I guess that makes sense. We're flooded with many more zones, overall. The ratio seems fair. This is very nifty.

Uhm.. where's all the doom and craziness that comes with an issue release? I'm not seeing any doom and it depresses me.

Please consider another contact list QoL fix for the next issue.

After visiting Faultline and heading back to PI to scan the police band, my level 50 main now has 10 useless contacts at the top of the list. My useful contacts, the 45-50 PI, Shard and Warburg contacts are now almost halfway down the list.

I'm at work too, but last we saw on test, they added these big buildings which claim to be consignment shops to Talos and a few other zones.

My day is now complete.

It will be even more complete once I get home and actually get to play!

It's been mentioned before, but since it's Live, I'll mentioned it again...

There's a bunch of graphics that are invisible. The Skulls Dyne Lab, Hellion lair (with puzzleboxes), Portal Lab (with portals in various stages of construction), and other maps that have unique decorations in them. All of these objects are invisible. We can run into them, stand on them, and get line of sight errors from them, but we just can't see them.

Also, I've noticed that in the PPD stations, only the female Warden posters are left. Swan, Mynx, and the male Warden images for the Freedom Corps posters are gone (probably invisible too). I know that's a minor thing, but, hey, I likes my Mynx posters. =^_^=

There is no Doom because after 8 issues people are used to it by now. Its no big deal really after leaving the tailor in grandville I crashed a complete memory dump. After going back in and talking to the Tailor her self I crashed. Its usual issues that will take some patching and some work to fix. It will be done if you remember I7 release was real bad compared to this one and they had that fixed in 2 weeks. I am willing to wait a bit for the problems to be addressed this is still one of the best functioning games out there so some hitches are bound to happen when you change the game code this much.

Howdy. I'm pretty sure I'm just missing something obvious, but what the hey, it may actually not be me. So.

I've got a level 25 hero who has a pair of titles I now find kind of dorky. Noticing that blurb in the patch notes about being able to change your titles once per 10 levels, starting at 15, I went over to a trainer and tried to do so.

I don't see any option for doing so, however. My question, I just realized, as writing this out jogged my brain into thinking for a moment, is this. Do you only see that option upon going to a trainer to level up? Hrm. Or is this just a lil' bug? Hmm. Or, am I just dumb today?

If you have a pair of titles, doesn't that mean you selected them when you hit level 25? If so, you won't get another chance to change your title until level 35. Once you've reached the necessary level, you can see a trainer at any time.
