It will probably be up around Noon EST time.

Power_Bunny · 03-28-2008 06:29 AM

Hmmm...does the Test server usually go down for maintenance at the same time as the live servers?

Bunny Power for the win!!!

Yes it does.. almost every Friday for like the last 4 years..

The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

I ask since I have played on Test several times while waiting for the Live servers to come back online. So my experience says "almost every" is not exactly correct.

this is the few hours some gamers get per week to bath / sleep.. hence why they do this... it's a community service...

Actually yes the Test server does go down almost every Friday. Start checking the server status before you go on test...

this feels like watching a pot of water on the stove waiting for it to boil......

Lol! I obviously do, or I would not be logging into Test to satisfy my CoX addiction.

SO excited.

I've been reading this thread and I've come to the conclusion that gamers are crazy, myself included of course. Here is my reasoning:

You guys have been waiting around for a list of powers that already exist! Sure, they're new to whatever archetype but none of the sets will be new to the game. I'm also looking forward to this but what I am intensely more interested in is the Epic Villain Archetypes releasing with the new issue, and unless I've missed something little or nothing has been said about that by the Devs.

Actually the blaster secondary is new. Might be a combo of some other powers, but as a set, new.

And besides, the old NBC advertising still applies... if you haven't seen it, it's new to you.

Ansler · 03-28-2008 07:48 AM

I must have missed something when it came to the new blaster secondary. Oh well, this should be a tad more interesting.

Seek_Trouble · 03-28-2008 07:52 AM

Is it tomorrow yet?

Actually, I don't think the entire secondary powerset is new....BAB just said that it got a new power i.e. one of the powers belonging to the "original" AT's line-up didn't fit the blaster AT and got removed completely, and they had to come up with something else.

BAB said [ QUOTE ]
In the end, most powersets ended up being straight ports. Others required tinting the effects from hero to villain (or vice versa). Stalkers needed an Assasin's Strike. Dominators ended up getting a mix of powers from a melee set and a ranged set and the Blaster secondary ended up with a completely new power.

I'm sorry. When trying to design a way for faster than light travel, I accidentally crossed my hyperflux coil with my transtesla capacitor and the resulting temporal explosion thrust this dimension back into Thursday.

Thursday!? YES! I'm off today!

Unfortunately, it is easy to assume that VEAT's will be one of the Last things we get info on. Not just from a marketing suspense standpoint either. VEAT's were going to be in the next issue and have been fast-tracked into this issue. This means that they are probably mostly done, but still getting final fine-tuning. They will probably wait as long as they can to release more info. Plus the marketing/suspense will continue to generate interest hopefully.

concreteshift · 03-28-2008 08:09 AM

Still nothing? I'm dying here! How can I start my weekend without knowing which new powerset to use for I12?? Arghhh.
