    Could be. Or it might just be an entirely new entity ID that hasn't been hooked up into the perk yet.

    If this patch is supposed to go live later this week, I do hope we see a huge round of bug fixes. Otherwise it's going to be a mess...

    I think the only thing going live this week is the AT and Framework. Everything else is probably for a later date.

    Counterpoint: Kitchen Sink.

    Not sure if anyone's mentioned it, but there are some contacts that can't be called... Although I'm not sure if this is quite a bug or not. For example Kodiak and the Powerhouse Head (which bugged me as I forgot to turn in the mission for the free starter gear, heh).
    Kodiak doesn't have that many missions to his name, so I suppose it's excusable that he doesn't have a contact detail for us to call remotely...
    Otherwise, I'm having a whale of a time with the upcoming stuff. The tutorial now feels a fair bit better, and it's nice to see Griswold actually doing something in the middle of a crisis rather than freaking out over his plane tickets while THERE IS AN ALIEN INVASION GOING ON MAN, TRY TO HELP, DON'T JUST LOUNGE AROUND
    ... sorry. Old!Gris always annoyed me somewhat (although, doesn't this make the alternate Griz in Resistance contrast less, meaning he doesn't seem that badass? Just a thought). Now he's new and improved and EMT trained!

    I like the teamup feature a lot. IThere appears to be two dropdowns for it in the communication box though, is that intentional?

    They can fix that and push another patch Friday on for all I care. I'm just not ready to trust them at this time with releasing anything more than what the calendar says verbatim.

    Too many changes and not enough communication to do otherwise.

    I really hope this is not the build going live tomorrow... the patch notes gave me chills when I read them.

    Wasn't Griswald supposed to be an homage to National Lampoon's Vacation? He's stuck in a city under attack, and aliens have taken his luggage, passport, and plane tickets. Later we encounter him in Canada and he's stuck on a pier as mutant dinosaurs, clones, squirrel monsters, and guys w/ aliens stuck to their heads run amok. All the while he just wanted to be able to enjoy his vacation...

    Bug/Feature/Stealth Patch*: Currently on Live if you're outside and you look at your mini-map you can wheel mouse to zoom in and out. From max to min it's 25 "clicks." If, however, you do this on PTS it's 5 "clicks" from max to min.

    *IF, since I do not know for certain, this is another example of Stealth Patching then, in all honesty, PLEASE CUT IT OUT. Seriously, one of the main reasons people think that alot less is done in this game then actually occurs is that you don't tell people. Alot of the time items that are Stealth Patched are for the positive and would generate positive feedback/PR. Even if this example is not a case of that....it's time for this practice to stop, IMO. ;)

    BUG: The perk Ironclad Offensive was moved from being a Heroic Perk to an Exploration Perk. This is wrong.

    Well, it's finally going to happen, Earth's going live.
    Can't say i'm happy with the current state of a few powers (the Energy builder being one of them).
    But Fissure sure is pretty, almost as pretty as Brimstone +adv :D

    If the problem is that the "next" button is grey .. click once on an AT, then again on freeform, after that it worked for me.

    I recall that one of the Devs said that they were trying to get Earth Form to be released with the Mountain AT.
    Has that been changed?
    Are we ever going to get it?

    Not only that, but there's a female Rox there too when selecting that archetype with the female setting on!
    ... It's kinda creepy in a way, as I wasn't actually expecting it.
    It's like the spanish inquisition.

    Akinos said earlier in the thread that they didn't want to add a new defensive passive before they took a look at them all. Meaning we ARE getting Earth Form in the future, it's going to be a -defensive- passive instead of an -offensive-, and that it will replace Defiance for the Mountain archetype when it is implemented.

    I thought he said it would be an option to Defiance once it came out...not a replacement.

    Yeah, that's what I remembered reading as well. For the AT, you could choose either it or Defiance for that level.

    I hope they upgrade Agressor when they do.
    KB and Stagger should both count towards it's stacks if they're going to put it in the framework.

    And speaking of Earth/Wind, where are the stickied threads on the PTS Frameworks sub forum?

    Sad day.

    That means that my dream for a crushing/fire offensive passive so I can pull off a explosives heavy weapon combo is not going to come to pass.

    Sad day indeed.

    Possible bug: tried to make a nemesis on PTS and it crashed the UI. Had to relog to get it back. Is nemesis not hooked up on PTS or is this a concern?

    I've just experienced the same problem :( hopefully it'll get sorted out by the next patch

    Is this PTS build over?
    If so, can we get it archived?
