    Is this a good idea? What if players get locked out? What about players who are looking to return after a long absence?

    Okay did the quest and... nothing seems wrong, besides that the quest has no meaningful rewards (except the standard xp reward).

    Maybe a costume piece? random grab bag?

    I guess that's all feedback I can give for this build.

    Hope there will be a daily questionite reward for the daily "run around the city beating up clusters of 'Y' to pick up 'X'" mission. At least, the last two events have had this. It'd at least make it worthwhile to do.

    Not really a bug as opposed to a general suggestion: I only spotted 3 different Lemurian mobs around UNTIL: if you're going to have a lot of people doing this, it might get competitive. Might wanna have a few more groups. Just a suggestion.

    I really wish there was little bit more distance between her and the Lt. next to her, if tend to use Z and for some perverse reason it loves to pick him when I mean to talk to her.

    The until vault instance is bugged and the cutscenes trigger each time you rescue a researcher. also, there's no way from what it seems to open the door to storageway 2- the red one with the lemurian bashing in.

    I think we are not supposed to go that way yet =p... the part we were supposed to test was the first 2 quests given by the reporter.

    Though the fact that you accessed this quest, its a bug in itself and it should be looked into.

    Edit: yup... we get to peek in the content that is not yet supposed to be tested =p.... pretty neat stuff inside though.

    She must be using some of Dr. Silverback's technology to pull that off. She's also in Westside. o_o

    Edit:
    For those who have an issue finding her, since we were so graciously provided with her exact location, she's next to Defender's little hub with the Alerts Coordinator.

    Yes indeed, that is not ready for public testing. Well done for finding it!

    I would suggest caution - going into that instance in its unfinished state could result in you getting stuck. We will switch that door off tomorrow. It will come back when it is a bit more finished :)

    So removing all telepathy was a calculated move.. you know.. so the story could progress.

    If all telepaths suck then no one will see "Hey.. that's not a Human.. and I can read their lizard brain"

    Right now my lizard brain is telling me.. NO DEXTER! KILLING is still WRONG. Incest.. not so much.

    Played through the first two quests. Not a bad opener. I'd kinda like it if the Lemurians were dressed as cultists or something though. They're a bit generic as it stands.

    Oh, and its nice to see the bikes added to D-store. I actually have a reason to waste money now :P

    One thing. The Drifter store needs badly...BADLY to have full size shots of the vehicles. I don't care about weapon slots, I want to know the color schemes.

    ^This so much, the tiny icons are a bit of a drag, especially when I am considering buying the Diamondback aswell as the coveted WIDOW...

    However I assume when the additions will be made, pics of the three models being showcased by Iris Irregular will be added to the News Page or something.

    We have brought PTS down push a new patch. I will update this thread with the notes rather than making a whole new one since the changes are fairly minor.

    Does Lemurian shape-shifting include clothes? Because I think it's kind of a shame that the shape-shifted Lemurians change to normal Lemurian clothes when they swap back to their normal lizard faces.

    It'd have been hilarious if they'd still been wearing their human disguise clothing, heh.

    Ok, time for another thrilling instalment of....

    Crosschan's Brilliant Ideas for 2013

    Episode 3:

    Sometimes when there's patching the PTS servers are still up. How about 1) trying to make certain this is true as many times as humanly possible and 2) letting us know when it is not. Call me crazy, but I suspect that Gold/LTS players who would normally be playing at those times would be more likely to hit PTS when they cannot get to live....which would mean more testing. :cool:


    ....This has been Crosschan's Brilliant Ideas for 2013. Please tune in next time. :biggrin:

    So, I tested the new content and this just seems a bit lackluster.

    What worries me is that both mission contents are in the same spot. You're going to have hundreds of players killing about 6 spawn spots around Until HQ.

    Very much this ^^^^^

    I spotted 10 mobs around the until building. This is still not enough. We are going to have a lot of competition to get those few number of mobs, subjecting many players to kill stealing and what not.

    May I suggest expanding some additional mobs; into the park between Ren Center and the Until Building, against the river wall behind the Until building, and across the street at the building where the mystic bookstore is in front of the Until building.

    I suggest a min of 20 mobs with a fast resapwn timer.

    Does Lemurian shape-shifting include clothes? Because I think it's kind of a shame that the shape-shifted Lemurians change to normal Lemurian clothes when they swap back to their normal lizard faces.

    It'd have been hilarious if they'd still been wearing their human disguise clothing, heh.

    And I second this, Lizard guys in normal wear would add some "interesting" to what are are two very basic kill X number of rats and fetch their skins missions.
