I17 - Dark Mirror

She aint on Twitter either, love. She's AFK, so benefit of the doubt and all that. <3

I think that's what's caused the delay to July - and also why he's decided to oversee it himself.
The endgame system is the thing we know the least about so far, so it's likely it's the reason for the slipped launch date.

My take is it's the existing HEATs/VEATs. While I haven't seen a forum post from a redname about it, a player who attended Herocon said that the devs there were asked more than once about new ATs in GR and they explicitly said there were none.

I would assume that you can pre-order the complete collection to get early powerset access but I concur, the wording is rather vague.


In regards to the Complete collection itself I'm a little upset about the new inherent power. It sounds like a stealth power and presumably it will provide PvE stealth (either on it's own or stacked with a stealth IO). My problem is that this further decreases the utility of the various stealth powers already in the game. I'm not to upset about the Stealth Pool since that's a separate power pool but for the sets that contain a natural stealth power this is kinda annoying. Some (i.e. Cloak of Darkness and Shadow Cloak) provide useful benefits along with the stealth but a lot of the others (Superior Invisibility and Cloaking Device) provide only a negligible defense buff. PvE stealth is already very easy to get, I'm not a huge fan of making it easier.

Okay, I "lol'ed"

Regret saying your going to stay calm yesterday yet?

IIRC, literally minutes after they posted the screenshot of the Resistance character she was complaining that there wasn't more info. I expect more of the same, post-haste.

She's busily preparing her next "when do we get more info" thread.

Jinx! Buy me a Gladiator +3% Def!

Just say "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"... I find it works rather well.

Lest people get too jazzed about a doppleganger nemesis system, remember that that was not part of the announcement. That was a guess by the author of the article.

You know what they say about Assuming, right?

U and me get ***?

"One day we all may see each other elsewhere. In Tyria, in Azeroth. We may pass each other and never know it. And that's sad. But if nothing else, we'll still have Rhode Island."

That was considered, trust me.

Hooray!

I'm still trying to stay calm-ish, which is easier now we have some dates and whatnot, which is what I was mostly rabid after

But...now I'm desperately hoping I get to test out Dual Pistols

Also, I don't think this is our nemesis system - it's just another faction.
Going by their design choices so far, there's no way they'd release a nemesis system unless it could be better than the CO one in some way

For the last time, your not getting any of my sweet, sweet man candy!

Especially not the Al Roker with the Hershey Kiss nipples.

Isn't that kinda a guarentee, because it's not made by Cryptic?

An associate just mentioned that he thinks this is not just ONE faction, but a nested faction with subfactions in it that are selected based on your AT and/or powerset choice. IE You're a Tanker/Brute with SS or EM you get NewFactionA, if you're a blaster with Psi or Energy you get NewFactionB and so on.

Interesting idea, not sure if the game has the tech for it or not.

I -hate- you! You're not my real father! :'(

It is specifically stated to be an invisibility power. Given the way stealth works in the game to avoid providing PvE stealth when stacked with a stelath IO it would need to be VERY low magnitude which would render it completely useless. The only powers of that low a magnitude are the phase shift powers and they provide something useful aside from stealth. The only alternative would be if it were a short duration click power rather than a toggle.
