  • Thanks guys, I'll try to be smarter in future?
  • It's rather different around the nose bridge area. But more to the point, I don't really see why it'd be a problem to share resources even if they did/do.
  • Are we still talking about that star? It's not the same geometry, not the same UV coordinates, not the same normal & spec maps, and is worn by entirely different character models.
  • It would take about 5 minutes to create that asset (the mesh, at least) in whatever 3D package Cryptic's devs use. An art team just created an entire gameworld for NWO; there's really nothing cynical about any minor resource sharing that does occur. That star has different geometry, and so different UV coordinates.…
  • Me too. So we're pretty much back to "unplayable."
  • Yeeep, it's currently unplayable, for all intents and purposes. I'm sure it'll be fixed really quickly... right?
  • This seems to have become extremely common now. Every other alert, I hear that "whop-whop, whop-whop-whop-whop, whop-whop-whop" and see that dramatic side throw anim endlessly repeated (which looks ridiculous on most characters I've seen using it); just to make the obvious exploit that little bit more annoying. Are my…
  • Just for the record, AotB's activation anim at rank 2-3 seems to be messed up; I assume that's related to the additional stacks not being added (not that I'd rank the form up anyway, but I tested it recently). Also, Aggressor doesn't add stacks of Enraged! for AotB, as I assume it's supposed to.
  • Had this issue too; forcing the app to launch maximised worked. Thanks trailturtle & ruprechtvandoom1!
  • Oooh. Nice. Now I just need Aggressor to add Enraged! stacks for Aspect of the Bestial.
  • That's especially sad to see, having just recently read Caliga's bio on the PRIMUS database. :frown:
  • Nice! Was just about to buy a bunch of costume slots too.
  • This is a nice idea. I might try something similar eventually. Lottery Entry!
  • Not to mention backups, backups, backups. I hope!
  • I like the concept, like the presentation (although the frequent cutscenes make grinding or just replays very tedious), but it could have been executed a lot better. Just barely won the entire thing with my 2-Gun Mojo FF and two other very strong level 40 FF friends (thanks to a backup device), and a lower level character…
  • Just to mention the other side of things, a friend recommended CO to me late last year, and I've since become a subscriber. So wesleytansg's suggestion can clearly still have a positive effect on the game. :smile:
  • They'd both boast, bluster, and monologue at each other absurdly, comparing the size of their... dark armies and mighty swords(!) until the end of time.
  • Being relatively new to the game, this is entirely new content to me - and I've wanted some of the Blood Moon-specific perks/titles for a while. So, great news. Thanks!
  • Well done, you've just inspired another alt! Now I need another chainsaw build...
  • Appears to be up now.
  • What is this "Real Life" you speak of?
  • I'm sure you realise (and the actual figures are interesting regardless), but I think the suggestion of compensation implied something along the lines of a "sorry community! have [something nice]!" gesture, rather than anything as specific as a partial refund. Personally, as a relatively new player and subscriber of 2…
  • Got in! And out again real fast... Not... up?
  • Try reinstalling Windows? :rolleyes:
  • Yeah, not terribly pleased at this point.
  • That's... sort of... promising?
  • These forums are moderated - I'm not sure how frequently, though. Actual developers (artists, programmers, etc) aren't required to, and may be discouraged from participating in forum discussions for games they work on. I don't think [this] is a situation unique to Cryptic or CO at all. All that said, put the O in CO for us…
  • My concern is this: It could of course be unrelated; but it's going to start looking a bit silly if the emergency maintenance to fix the outages (which itself was downtime), didn't fix the outages.
  • The thing is that, after the last time, the "emergency maintenance" was to prevent this happening again. Unless I've misunderstood something fairly basic about that... See what happens I guess.
  • As the player of a somewhat frightening bestial robot dino thing(tm) with Gauntlet Chainsaw as its primary attack, I approve of this message.
  • Welcome back! :smile:
  • Browse through the AH for the level 40 purple secondary gear; there's usually a lot of it, and inexpensive. The other (potentially superior) options are Vigilante secondaries from the Q Store, but they're not inexpensive.
  • As a relatively new player I've noticed Bacon doing/saying several helpful and generally fun/cool things, some of which have helped me out quite a bit (probably without him knowing). Maybe instead of less character dedication threads, we need more?
  • Certain feelings are always going to develop for something you devote a lot of time to (and subsequently are unable to enjoy as much as you once did), but a little perspective might be called for given how strong those feelings seems to be around here. I really like the game the way it is; anything added/fixed is just a…
  • Thanks, trailturtle!
  • And... down again? Launcher can't authenticate, subscription options/C-Store won't load. Edit Orrr... not. It works now.
  • There's no "punch them in the face" / "what family?" / "lol" options for most of them, so I can't really answer for most of my characters. :smile: Neutral neutral? Or is it meant to be for us and not our characters?
  • I've been annoyed by knocks a few times (though I've never said anything to the player), primarily on an Unleashed AT character when I was Silver - no lunge. It's hard for the play style not to seem obnoxious when targets repeatedly and rapidly fly way out of melee range. In most cases, I've come to realise that that's…
  • Bahahaha! Also, it'd be nice if someone there could switch the computers back on(!), please, Cryptic.
  • My roleplay was interrupted too, but sparklemuffin makes a good point. Unless you work for Cryptic on the server admin side of things -- and if you do, get off the forums and fix it! -- no amount of righteous indignation will change anything. These things happen.
  • I almost built up the courage to poke Caliga in Ren Cen a few days back, but lost my nerve. Glad to see that I might yet have another opportunity(!).
  • Same here. Right in the middle of roleplay...
  • I actually really enjoy the alerts, and frequently do Smashes on my level 40s just for fun (and more recently in vain attempts to get Jack to drop his mask unlock). Thanks to advice received on these forums, a few of my characters are monsters nowadays and can carry them solo, but still. It's also not uncommon (in my…
  • I have mine now, in case that information's remotely useful to anyone else. I didn't get around to contacting support, so thank you to those who did.
  • My stipend seems to be several days late too. From what I'm reading here contacting support won't make much of a difference?
  • Scary Biomech Chainsaw Beast(tm) is proving to be great fun to play so far. Currently level 30, and following agentnx5's build, just with Regeneration instead of WotW for leveling. I am maintaining the Chainsaw a lot against Alert bosses and the like, so I might experiment with Overdrive instead of MSA when I retcon into…
  • I must admit a sort of fascination with hoarding lockboxes. I have 2500~ tank boxes, and 3500~ grav boxes stashed away for... I don't really know what. But I'll probably enjoy doing the same with this one as well.
  • Thanks guys, both of those builds look like the kind of thing I'm aiming for. agentnx5: That actually looks terrifying, and perfect for my main goal, which is to cause havok -- and lots of damage -- in alerts. Void Shift and Iron Lariat are surprisingly appropriate for the theme (a sort of dark technology / bestial robot…
  • pedipalp, that build looks pretty interesting, thanks. I'm still quite attached to the idea of Aspect of the Bestial, but I'll keep DEX/Focus in mind in case that doesn't work out. The reason I have REC is I like to have a full energy bar. I tried STR/CON/INT, and my energy was at something like 40/110. Surely that's not…
