Hmm.. Can't seem to find the new Vines pieces in the costume creator. Ulterior shows, but not Vines.

Vines is just a pattern.

Is it wrong that after reading all of the patch notes, these are the only two things that have any bearing on any of my toons?

The /alakazamreact emote will now function properly when a character is in the air.
Fixed animation bug with the At Ease emote.

Ohh, and the new TF/Sf
Anyone on Triumph wanna start one when the srevers come up?

Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?

Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?

Edit: Boy do I not know how to read a post 1 thread down before posting

I'm just 'bout 100% sure this is I15 coming out today, went into the login screen and I'm looking at Dom's Psy Assault, PSW is now changed to its 15ft radius... As well as NRG assault's changes seem to be in now.

You aren't serious, are you?

Haha. I'm not changing the quote.

I would think the fact that the Live version number matches the Test version number, AND that Niviene has posted announcements saying "Issue 15 Releases" and the Live Issue 15 patch notes would be enough to confirm Issue 15 going live today...

But that... that is just so obvious! They'd of course try and trick us all! hehe

If I have enough time when they are up I will run the SF

I'm in. I'll be under Mrs. Demon, my fire/fire blaster. After playing it on the test server, my brother said that it's good to have more ranged attack players than melee because of the dark/dark AV.

I'll do the SF, but everyone needs to read up on the temps once we get to the last mission.

Ok, If were doin the SF, all I have at that level is a SS/SR Br00t.
If we do hero side, I have two scrappers to choose from.

I just logged in. Freespecs were granted today. I guess we can consider the "7 days notice" theory dead at this point.

[/ QUOTE ]For real! They posted the freespec announcement on a Friday afternoon and gave the freespec on the following Monday morning, giving us two and a half days to use our freespecs.

I was able to do only two freespecs because of my computer crashing all over the place.

That's just ridiculous.

This (and the announcement being buried in the discussion forum) make me rather annoyed.

Yeah a little more then 3 days notice would have been really nice- especially when a monday launch is expected- weekend plans completely overtook any chance I might have had to do any respeccing after reading the announcement Friday night.

Respecs generally take me about an hour per toon, and that is with Mids. With people having 2 builds per toon, and multiple 50s for most every account, it really makes a week notice about the minimum I think we need to make respeccing the characters who need it workable.

I appreciate the freespec - in fact I appreciate them ALOT, but without some more notice they unfortunately nearly always go to waste.

It makes me sad to waste a gift.

Please give us a few more days and reissue the freespecs.

Yeah unfortunately I didn't see the announcement until this morning when the servers were down. I didn't think they'd release I15 today so soon after the announcement, but sure enough they did, and already granted the freespecs too. I wish we'd had a bit more notice.

Woo Hoo! I can start doing Hami again!

Thats why I read the Dev Digest and Community Digest posts under Developers Corner forums for new announcements. Rarely is there any consistency around them but you can see what officially has been said by any of the developers or community managers.

I don't check the fora as often on the weekends and I settled for a quick check of Announcements on Friday night. But even if I had noticed the thread, my weekend was unusually busy. I would not have been able to respec all the characters I had in mind in time.

I was expecting more than 2.5 days of lead time, and I certainly wasn't expecting all that lead time to be a weekend.

[/ QUOTE ]"7 days/a week's notice" has been mentioned several times. What's that based on?

A post by the previous community rep that they would try to give us just that.

Because I knew about that "seven days" announcement, I am extremely annoyed to find the respecs already issued. I too had a busy weekend, but figured that I was safe if I got my respecs done today or tomorrow.

I don't begrudge them flexibility on something that's a convenience to us. I do begrudge them exercising that flexibility without notice that the promised notice window was not valid. It resulted in what I'll call "misinformation by omission".

They need to choose one of the following: either stick to the notice window that was offered in the past or tell us when they can't or tell us that the notice offer doesn't stand any more.

Edit: Freespecs are not code changes. They are a batch job they run. There's no requirement that they provide the bonus respec at the same time they publish a new release. They could have waited.

That's where the whole 7 days thing came up before - they blasted out a freespec with no warning. This announcement in the OP met the letter of the old promise, but certainly not the spirit.

After stating they would give a warning about that particular one.

Its nice to have a warning, but come on, the fact that an issue is in test is in fact pretty solid advanced warning
