More stuff I won't buy

Yeah, they were on track for what I assumed to be a May 15 release. The whole beta process was smooth and relatively bug free.

Then they patched on Friday afternoon, and KAPOW! BUGS ABOUND!

... This is why I quit coding and went into computer repair instead.

You are the one who bought the transport and then ONLY USED IT 1 FREAKING TIME last night.

So yeah, I think you're willy nilly with your paragon points and doth protest too much.

I would use it more if people wouldn't immediately run off or ozone when the next mission is set.

I use it when I'm soloing.

Oh, goody. So glad they're letting us have so many trays when they charge as much as they do per tray. As long as the prices stay as they are (and a 25% sale still keeps them over 1k points), this feature gets an "mmmhmm, that's nice," from me. I like having an extra tray on test, but it's not THAT nice.

So we know if I23 is going to hit in May? Or has it been pushed off to June?

Soon™?

Did they actually say May? I don't remember.

Last patch on beta only had one entry, if that means anything... and it was about fixing the new iTrial.

No, they never came out and said May (that I saw, anyway), but it was widely speculated that it would go live last Tuesday to compete with the release of Diablo III.

Since they fixed the showstopping trial bug last week, the only real noticeable bug I know about is that the Hybrid slot powers are having some weird effects for Tankers, improperly treating their single target attacks as if they were AoEs (due to their Gauntlet inherent ability).

I'm not sure if that's something they'd hold back the release for, though, or if they plan to just fix it in the next patch. If they released i23 tomorrow and patched it on Thursday, for example, the number of Tankers using problematic Hybrid powers in the first 2 days would be tiny bordering on insignificant in terms of the total population.

... But they've also said they'd give us some more advance warning about the removal of the Celestial gear from the Paragon Rewards Table, which I haven't seen them even mention in about two weeks now...

So until they tell us that, the release isn't imminent.

I would say I23 is June sometime as the Nemesis invasion is supposed to go all month. Didn't they mention some live stuff happening with it?


Something witty and profound

Community reps have been popping on to the servers randomly (as Lord Nemesis) to chat with people during invasions. That's about it. :/

Any chance they would release I23 and replace Celestial with Mecha after?

In other words, they could still release I23 without having to necessarily hint us at when with the armor switch date.

Wow, look at this!

When was the last time they launched an Issue on a Thursday?

Or is this just the Summer Blockbuster stuff, and not I23?

If it is I23, will the new Mecha costumes be available?!

im not sure if it will be the blockbuster or the new issue

and yes, i23 is definitely gonna have mecha armor with it (since celestial armor is also getting removed from tier 9 VIP stuff at same time)

Apparently Zwil said I23 wasn't launching in May during a Coffee Talk, so this must be something less interesting.

The email for the blockbuster thing didn't have a date on it that I saw? And there was a patch on Tuesday for the panther issue, right?

With a hefty time frame listed for the publish, it'd have to be something significant so my bet is on the blockbuster thing.....getting it in before the long weekend?

The patch on Tuesday for the Panther issues was on the Test server, not the Live server.

This appears to be the patch for the Panther issues and possibly some database maintenance to fix those characters that were affected.


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.

Ok. I had read something the other day and it was labeled patch but didn't catch Beta vs Live (and wasn't around when I loaded the game Tuesday night). Still a hefty time frame for a relatively small update, but if it's touching the DB that could explain it.

I wouldn't imagine the blockbuster thing to happen until after the Nemesis annoyance.

Just got an e-mail announcing that Celestial will be available until June 5th... so... I23 on June 5th?

I heard I23 was launching on June 10th.

EDIT: Which is a Sunday, so I guess not...

It's good to have proof that your knowledge is flawed for many reasons

June 10th = Sunday

Actually, the claim was that the Summer Event kicked off on the 10th, which still doesn't make sense to me. I'm guessing it will be the 12th, a week after I23 goes Live.

Can't wait for the Mecha costumes, I have 13 tokens saved up because there's nothing I want from the Tier 9 rewards!

As much as I like to see people straining their noggins by pondering the imponderable, I'll cut to the chase and and say what was said in the last coffee chat. The summer event will drop on July 10.


And MG, I expect to see a black panther wandering around the base next isos.

He probably uses it more than the transporter
