Yeah cuz all they do to add zone events is flip a switch. It's a pretty good indicator -something- is getting touched up to the zones if they're adding zone events.

I think he meant the first sentence sarcastically, given the second sentence.


Of course, all the changes the Devs have made to the game so far were pretty easy...

I for one look forward to finally getting past the blinding rage that occurs every time I complete some long/hard arc/tf/whatever and get a ******* Snipe IO recipe for my trouble.

They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

Those will be decent to sell in I24, but I do hear you...nightmares of Trap of the Hunter triples dancing in my head and Evil_Ryu claiming the drop tables were rigged against him.

Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes

Eh, the ranged damage sets will still be better, unless the snipe sets get some +tohit bonuses added. I'd expect kismet prices to go up, but they're pretty cheap to get with merits anyway.

Seriously, most of the surprise was spoiled by the devs in the weekly Coffee Talks so this feels entirely anticlimactic. I hope the beta starts today or tomorrow, because this is beginning to drag. We all know i25 is the 'big one', anyways.

Great overview. I have kept my sub but haven't had the desire to play lately. This is the stuff I like to see though.

Sad to say, the Incarnate grind is keeping me away right now still. Would like to see ITF's and 50 TFs give incarnate rewards which work at all tiers. Also, real solo and small tema advancement. 90% of the time, I am not interested in doing a trial.

I hope this appears on beta soon. I want to play with power pool customization!

Oh dear. I hope they leave the Praetoria zones intact, I haven't managed to play through all the storylines yet D:

Nothing's being changed in Praetoria

I could see some RWZ Longbow-Vanguard style tension in Brickstown between any ex-Resistance and ex-loyalists working there.

Looks like a really good issue list.

Hamidon:

"I WILL DESTROY ALL HUMANS!"

Arcanaville:

"So if your female character is in THIS stance, your draw times are a whole 2.7 seconds longer, not accounting for chest size which actually increases it an extra ten picoseconds. Now, we're not even contemplating base male characters with the Science pack and Rularuu weapons with their second costume slot as a female option."

Though I walk through the valley of death I fear no Devouring Earth, for I have read Arcana and have long since given up any hope of boosting my SAN score to base.

Eh, it is what it is. There's no real easy way to handle changes to the game world or progressing storyline without this kind of stuff. Not unless you lock all storyline stuff behind Incarnate stuff, and then it's "the story begins at 50!" Which is bad. So I can work with this. It really helps not to think overly much about it and just roll with it.



When will then be now?

No, no, no. Go past this. Pass this part. In fact, never play this again.

An interesting side effect of the new St. Martial content is to give Villains a long term goal for taking part in the Incarnate Trials - having exploited the Heroes by using them to help destroy Tyrant and his armies, removing the threat of the loyalist invasion disrupting the Villains' schemes, Praetoria is now open for full scale pillaging.

Yes, I'm confused by Guy's comment as well. It's a zone event so you participate by being in the right area at the right time, e.g. Banners, correct?

I hope it is fun or at the very least has a good reward(maybe not as good as Summer event but close) since other zone events go unplayed(Monsters, burning buildings, troll rave, etc) except for the most populous servers. Maybe adding it to LFG would be nice, I don't know.

Regardless, I'm all for touching up the environments/zones so each place looks more active and something I want to participate in as opposed to my usual view of nice wallpaper I travel through going from mission to mission.

Looks like a solid issue to me and looking forward to playing it.

You have to admit I probably could have negotiated a better deal than Cole.

That may not be saying alot though, Marauder on a drunken enrich fueled bender could have gotten a better deal than that.
