News from PAX
Wonder if the Abomination will sound anything like this.

A real showstopper!
I totally missed that this was a picture of the end game model and the concept art, I thought there was more then one Abomination.

I think you know what I think of the costumes locked behind the Incarnate system.
I MIGHT have a different opinion if we were talking about getting multiple astrals. We're talking about ONE. We'll have to agree to disagree. I'll bet money now that the rewards just might be increased when the actual arcs are in BETA. |

It says 4x reward merits. The comment made was that for an example, if the first arc awards 20 reward merits, then once per week it will award 80 merits.
Note that the award choice is only offered once per week per character; you can't run it and choose merits, then run it and choose an astral, then run it and choose threads. You run it and choose, then any other times you run it, you don't get the award choice window. |

One final thing to mention: the devs were showing much love for for Paragonwiki and TonyV at Saturday's panel. Someone asked about updating the in-game help files and Posi joked that the help function should just link to Paragonwiki.
They even mentioned TonyV by name two or more times during the panel saying how they love the site.

Also, I can't help but give a huge shout-out to people like Diellan (lead Mids developer), GuyPerfect (lead Sentinel developer), Keen (lead CIT developer), and DeProgrammer (lead Waterworks developer and generally helpful guy on other projects as needed) who keep the rest of the Titan Network updated. I just cannot emphasize that enough, it really is a group effort with a lot of people contributing.
Although, don't get me wrong, keeping the server running really can be a fun and sometimes challenging task, but fortunately, it's one I kinda like.

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
As it's Numina holding it, and the Midnighters are invovled, it's very likely to be the skull of her father, Tommy, which is currently lying on the front desk of the club.

Midnight Mystery
The Skull of Tommy Arcanus
Once a member of the Midnight Squad... always a member of the Midnight Squad. Tommy Arcanus delved so deeply into the metaphysical arts that his very being was affected. Not only was his daughter born with magical powers, but even in death Tommy's spirit is unable to pass on. Now, all that remains of him is this skull and the spirit that haunts it.

I went back to the Midnight Club and clicked on it, to re-read the text, because I think you got that part right, hehe.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
this is the "bio" of the redside contact for part one.
Alastor
Cursed Spirit
The spirit of Alastor one day mysteriously appeared in Cap au Diable, haunting the boardwalk. The spirit demanded to see one who would, 'help him seek his vengeance'. After discovering he was haunting an area full of villains, Alastor decided that perhaps he could work together with one such villain to seek out his vengeance.
Does alastor have any intereseting anagrams?
I'm hoping this spirit goes in that skull and then it gives me missions.
THis is the game model the contact is using
Classic CoT ghost, I may hate your -acc attacks but you are my favorite of the ghosts. I hope you never get upgraded. Tell Spectral Knight and Spectral Overlord they're so ugly their momma's had to chain a innocence soul around their necks so the other ghosts would play with them. Also tell them I hope they get the upgrade.
Here's Theoden the Skyway contact.
Theoden
Lost Pariah
The being known as Theoden was recently captured by the PPD during a raid on a Lost warehouse. After a day within a cell in Skyway, he demanded to speak to you, saying that he needed the help of a hero to save both the Lost and Paragon City.

Was Citidel's name changed before or after the lawsuit got settled.
I'd love to see some sort of documentary of those times. It blows me away Jack was going to make Marvels MMO.

Be sure to tell Bastion ... er ... Citadel ... that I said hello.

but...I put nothing past nobody...trademarks and copyrights are messy things...
and random thought...wasn't Frankenstein the first abomination? Mary Shelley's descendant's should sue!
Sigh....anyone play on Victory who does not jeer at clutzes?

If you aren't in many of the more active Global channels, send me a PM and I'll help you get hooked up. (I sent you a PM here a few weeks ago offering to help you on Victory with teaming and such, but you never responded...)

Well... not really... but I wanted to acknowledge that you made me laugh.

And as Wikipedia informs me:
Alastor, in Christian demonology, came to be considered a kind of possessing entity. He was likened to Nemesis. |
For some reason, people these days tend to mix those two up.

I don't have an issue with the Barbarian stuff. I'd like it a little different but I really think part of the problem with the woman's gear is that they made her (and the clothes) blue which gave the ice/Santa vibe. If it was brown and tan or gray, it'd look different.

I don't want to make male barbarians. Everyone's done this to death and the concept doesn't really thrill me all that much. I want to make female ones, but the pieces just aren't there for women. Their weapons are smaller, the kit is insufficient and their physical build is just too petite. I'm honestly starting to get the feeling that the art team does not consider women as legitimate strength fighters, and probably never. And that's a cryin' shame.
Samuel_Tow is the only poster that makes me want to punch him in the head more often when I'm agreeing with him than when I'm disagreeing with him.

Actually Frankenstein was the one who build the monster and not the monster himself.

But I must persist... Mary Shelley's descendants should sue!
That's just it though...tweaking Forcefields isn't a long the same lines as making an entire new powerset...sure it might be about making an entire new power (because screw Detention field...people may love it but 90% of the people you team with will hate you for using it...ever).
When you have a set which does everything that Forcefield can do AND provides utility aka Traps...what's the point in ever taking Forcefield? |
Storm Summoning, PREPARE TO BE BENT OVER!
To be frank, FF has positioning options (via KB and Repel) that Traps doesn't. And Detention can be a life saver.

Ooo, very nice! Do you recall what the chain mail top comes from? In regards to the top sellers from Beta, if they draw any conclusion that people want enhancement boosters, I'll be horrified. |
Unless they need to be reminded with one word:
"Boresight." I seem to recall people saying in beta that that would be in *incredible* demand on the market... and it pretty well never has been, as far as I recall. |
Studded leather type armor doesn't really say "barbarian" to me so much as a) "cheap" and b) not as restrictive, but that could be simply too much D&D

I really can't wait for the Signature arcs though, the more info (albeit it slight) we get just makes me more interested.
Yes, Lisa -- many of us. The overwhelming majority, as a matter of fact. If you've run into some bad apples on our home server, please don't let it get you down. There are TONS of great people on Victory, as I hope you know.
If you aren't in many of the more active Global channels, send me a PM and I'll help you get hooked up. (I sent you a PM here a few weeks ago offering to help you on Victory with teaming and such, but you never responded...) |
I feel so badly I am responding on my phone...which is not
The easiest thing to do.
Will check out both game and reg email when I get
Home from work.
Thank you.
So don't wait for heroes, do it yourself
