Source of speculative knowledge please?

I'm not saying you are wrong about the release date, but I'd be very surprised as that is easter weekend and there are no devs working from friday to monday. Releasing an issue the day before good friday is unlikely in the extreme and releasing an issue on a thursday is just slightly unlikely.

If it is that close to release I'd say the following tuesday at the earliest myself.

Odd timing but thanks for that. As you can appreciate in the past there have been speculations that have gone into legend as gospel truth, such as the I15 release coinciding with the games aniversary which eventually had to have a red name post that there was no truth in it whatsoever

However, I reiterate my reservations about releasing an issue so close to a major holiday. These things rarely run smoothly and since the first issue I was around to see run like a plum for the first couple of days (issue 4) I have no faith that this one will be any different.....

We're Doooooooooomed!!!!!

Sorry, i had to get that in as nobody else had yet

Beat you by about ten seconds

I'll bench my troller until they rework LS.
Then i'll try to make an arc and curse since you can't scale the ma window.
Then i'll beat the snot out of of castle, sunstorm and synapse in the ma. Then i'll do it again.

EU_Damz · 04-04-2009 07:12 PM

Off topic but u know, if they had a MA building for co-op levels from 1 - 50 and not just 35+ i'ld go and level a villain

Oh but my first few days? I'll be taking advantage of the ease of getting recipes via tickets and selling at the high prices before theyre forced down from increase in stock

Then i'll be reshaping my sg into a new and exciting direction (which WILL be looking for all new members)

Oh and run peoples arcs !

Firstly I'll put a buttcape on my widow who's still lvl 9 from since the day they were released.
Then I'll go and mess about with some player created arcs with my badger.

I'm not laughing at something that made storm competing with rad and thermal being gutted.
At base 31.2 end for an immobile cloud that does 40 damage every 5-6 seconds is not useful.
But as there was some good suggestions in the us thread i'm hopeful.
Then again what other of my toons that i find fun have something that all of the sudden is "oops overseight" or "not working as intended".

TrueMetal · 04-04-2009 08:44 PM

Indeed, this change makes that Lightning Storm isn't the most usefull power in the set, I won't contest you on that. But saying that you will 'bench your (illusion/storm) controller' because of this, indicating that this change made him unplayable, is completely rediculous at best.
Anyway, you do what you want, in the meantime I'll continue to kick butt with my ice/storm corr.

Oh i didn't mean it like that.
I have to remake my build since everything has a function and specific slotting, i don't want to go do something i may regret. Will still badge a bit though.

Sente_ · 04-05-2009 02:54 AM

Will upload my arcs and see that they work, check if there might be something I need to unlock for them.

Will definitely play lots of MA arcs, primarily with villain characters since I have gone though the regular villain content too many times before.

Moonshade · 04-05-2009 06:23 AM

Play some MA arcs.
Play more MA arcs.
Play a lot of MA archs.

Then start unlocking stuff and really attempt to create a few arc ideas that have been swimming in my head for a while.
Transfer over the single arc I've already published, rework it a bit and republish it.

@Moonshade - too many to list anymore

Arctic Man · 04-05-2009 09:15 AM

First order of business: Log in the correct characters so that they will get Super Leader status in my personal SGs.

Then I'll start working on earning tickets so I can unlock the content needed for my story arc(s) and get those published. Then I'll see.

Really? You're going to let all those new badges slip away? Someone will have more badges on Villain side than you? Really?

This is correct.

Blue Rabbit · 04-06-2009 06:13 AM

Oh teaming will surge as hordes of Badgers descend on their new shinny prey... as for the normal missions I don't know how they will behave but probably poorly.

khaine_star · 04-06-2009 06:29 AM

My prediction of the release is for the first few weeks there will be nothing but "Play my arc" teams. Which will tail off as people get fed up of playing arcs specifically designed to either get everyone killed, or rack up huge amounts of tickets. Then normal teaming will start to ebb back in.

LunaWisp · 04-06-2009 07:08 AM

Personally I think NC have someone watching me. They *always* conspire to start things like double exp weekends and major updates when I'm going to be away or will have visitors for an extended period. It's uncanny...

I'll pop on occasionally to read the forum and see what delights have popped up out of the woodwork...

For the majority of normal missions then yeah i would say so, however i personally will be running teams for the fun arcs which i NEVER miss!

Faultline
Midnight squad (magic man!!!!!)
Croatoa
Striga
RWZ

Those arcs i never miss, the MA will just fill in the gap between the levels!

It'll only be for a couple of weeks or so - once we have them, it'll be back to normal
