From the lowbie Midnighter arc (Blueside)

1. Is she supposed to be our preview into Dual Pistols?

2. Is she supposed to be emulating Lady J from GI Joe?

PWiki - Lady Jane

1. No. Malta Gunslingers used "Dual Pistols" long before she did. Also, there's been no Official Word that we'll be getting Dual Pistols.

2. The name and look are probably a tribute to Lady Jay. The Devs like to do that kind of thing, though sometimes, they go overboard, and it ends up being retarded (Re: Montague Castanella.)

Is it true that she went out with the whole football team when she was a high school cheerleader?

[/ QUOTE ]Positron, when asked about upcoming powerset proliferation, said "Dual Pistols? Demon Summoning?" as his response. That's pretty good, IMO.

Considering that they aren't currently powersets that can be proliferated, he may very well have been attempting to be funny.

Allow me to rephrase: There has been no Official Statement saying that yes, we will, in fact, be getting Dual Pistols and/or Demon Summoning.

No, he was attempting to give a hint at upcoming powers without giving away too much. Most assume he meant to say that they don't need to proliferate more powersets (yet) when they're introducing new ones but without actually saying it.

We'll know for sure Soon™.

The Gunslinger set and Lady Jane's set are different (Malta apparently getting the better of the two)

Positron dropping the 10 ton hints about Demon Summoning and Dual Pistols is all but official. One thing that peple need to be away of is that nowadays the devs don't say anything publicly about anything unless it's coming. To me it's not a matter of if we are getting Dual Demons and Pistol Summoning, it's a matter of when we are getting them.



Note for the humor impaired: Yes, I know. It's a joke.

I didn't recall seeing more than one pistol on Maelstrom in the video. Just rewatched it, and that's all you ever see is one.

I'm not saying no, we'll never get DP or DS. I'm just saying don't get your hopes up of it happening anytime soon. It could be with I16. It could be with GR. It could be with I20. Better to not expect it until later and get it earlier, than to expect it earlier, and get it later.

No, she's obviously a Thugs Mastermind who didn't take any of the pet summons. Just look at how survivable she is(n't).

That's not a homage, it's just a name. Also, you speak the words of a fool.

In the same night.

To be fair, she was stuck in a groundhog's day loop on prom night.

She decided to give them all try.

Either way she is still the worst npc in the game to ever have as a hostage/ally. Its like she is intentionally given AI to get you killed. So far I am like 5 for 20 on this arc on getting her out alive. Someday they will fix her.

I get her out alive 90% of the time. General Z on the other hand.... He's far worse than Lady Jane could ever be.


@Roderick

General Z is like that noob teammate who won't listen, if you know what I mean.

I've found the best way to deal with Lady Jane is just to do the dang arc as early as possible to get the easiest CoT's you can. Trying to keep her and yourself alive when you're dealing with Spectrals and Behemoths is next to impossible.

She's actually quite useful if you can manage to take out the CoT around her (not just with her) first. After that the trick is to be patient. The ambushes following her release come at 88 second intervals. If you wait for them you can start moving when you see their "$target has Lady Jane!" or "Protect the $object!" text and you can leave the ambush behind (these ambushes go to the area where you were standing when they spawned, not after you directly) and move on to the next group you actually have to fight. If you move along slowly like this you can successfully complete the mission every time with any AT.

[/ QUOTE ]I get what you are saying but that does me no good because she always chases runners which is what gets her and sometimes me killed. She often times will chase a runner to the ambush(es). Sigh...If they would make her aggro range alot lower this mission would have a better success rate than it does now.

Hey, at least she spawns at the right level, now.

As I recall, in beta maybe, she would spawn too low.
