Can't you change the colour of the actual power buttons on the toolbar or is it only the power animations themselves? |
No you can't change the icons for the powers
I still can't get on =(

You can't change the icon colors. HOWEVER, someone around here has a link to the Vidiotmaps.com icon fix pack. It doesn't let you recolor your powers either, but does make the graphics/borders consistent and recolors certain powers (temp/vet/premium powers)|

For instance, the Mac Pack Mission 'porter, the Mystic Fortune, and the Self Destruct all are now bright road cone orange. Elusive Mind (the psi def/res accolade shield from Rikti Invasions) is now fuschia instead of blue, and so on.
Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.
40 more minutes.. ohwell..
Time to play World of goo in the meantime.
Not much time to use that old respec
They did this last time.. I really wish they'd announce these respec's a little earlier.
If i16 goes live today that is
I had a hunch we would get one with the additions to epics...
But it would have been nice and considerate of them to give us a week to go through toons n see what we might want to change before then.
Consideration and courtesy in this would be appreciated in the future.
Ok going to bed can't wait up anylonger, falling asleep at my comp waiting for I16... it will be ehre when I wake.... I hope =]
later all have fun waiting

It sounds like it, i've heard there are no more lvl caps on those zones. From all i've heard in the rumor pool this patch is more or less A transitioning thing getting people geared up for rouge with a little bit of pretty thrown in with the power color changing option. Foaming at the mouth for rouge now and they haven't even opened the server up for i16 yet.

No point in saying "if." The Live updater has applied the Issue 16 predownload and downloaded and applied another patch, and now its version number matches that of the Test updater.

It's to give them that fresh look at the beginning of the week. Unless it's part of an event, I don't seem them doing that.|

I havn't read anything about them stopping AE farming and how they are to do it? Does anyone here know and can care to explain for me? |
* If one or both of a mob's powersets are set to standard, it gives slightly reduced XP - if both it's 75% of normal, if one is a harder setting it's 87.5, or if both are hard or extreme 100% xp
*Did some changes to custom picked powers and the XP those critters give. Big one being if you take away ANY of the powers present on the creature if it's set to standard, 0Xp.

The Icon pack is about a page down - really nice for making the Mystic Fortune buffs POP on the icon buff bars.

Orc&Pie No.53230 There is an orc, and somehow, he got a pie. And you are hungry.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
hmm. according to the announcement for the maintence, I SHOULD be able to get on by now... still can't though 
me either
Servers are up and issue is live.. Woot lets have some fun
First impression:
Wow, its cool seeing all my toons in the last uniform they had on!
(I have to be sure they're wearing something decent when I log off . . . )
<. <. .> .>
Crash
This is all great,
But why don't you post a message on the startup menu when we start the game? 
Unless we come back here everyday, we miss out on stuff like this.
Now its too late and I lost my chance at a freespec on all my characters!
first issue right off the block, found a bug with SSK.
Friend is in cap, I'm in st. martial, I invite them, it auto sks up to my level however they want to invite a friend, I pass star and now we are both sked?
not only that but now thier location status flickers back and forth from "Cap au Diable" to "On Mission Map"
Also with arrows on corruptors, the animation doesn't seem to be firing 100% of the time properly, it just goes from hand and fire, not hand/bow/fire

I just don't understand this. Everyone gets a freespec with issue 16. Meaning...you didn't "lose your chance" at anything; you still get a freespec! |

And even if you somehow needed two back to back (maybe with the new dual build feature?), run a respec trial! They're cake (but the cake is a lie)!
Ah well, back to your regularly scheduled DOOOOOM!

I could have sworn I already fixed that, but I'll take another look.|

(basically his hand moves, the device does not and hangs in the air as well after use for a good second) Oh, and one more thing... We should get at least one free tailor session as well seeing how this makes massive changes to the tailor and the things we can do there. (so it doesn't end up costing a arm and a leg....) |
As for free tailor tokens, my understanding is they plan to hand out 1 for each costume slot on Friday. Free tailor sessions, respecs, etc are not part of an issue or patch, that's something that's granted by Ops (I believe they have scripts they run on the database servers). They're probably waiting until the new issue is fully installed and working before handing those out.
Ops is giving respect to the players? Sweet.

edit...crap! it's live already!?!? I guess I need to stay on the ball a bit more.
I blame the crappy internet in 3rd world countries while on deployment...Time to play!!!

I second the on the ball bit, but I shift my blame entirely to the broken devdigest, which renders the form almost useless for my current needs.

Erm, the dev digest (and community digest) has been working for a while now. Even has an RSS feed.

The RSS feed in the Dev Digest is broken. It thinks EVERY post is a new post, so several times a day you'll see 50+ new items from the feed, the majority of which are old.
