RE: i12...

I told you!

Did I? I think I did. Maybe I didn't. Maybe it was that other thing I told you. I know for sure I told you something. Or did I tell that to somebody else... It doesn't matter. In
any case I am right. I am always right.

A quote from someone on the euro boards:

Dev-"Get some sauce."

Sort of.

You can get into the character creator, but the servers still won't allow you to log in...and it won't save characters yet. :(

RE: i12...

My bad. I got into the character creator and figured it was up. However, it is up now, lol. I'm in as we speak. One other QoL thing I noticed that I didn't read about that I love is in the email screen they have a button to mark as spam. Much easier and quicker to report it. Now.....everyone dive in!! lol

RE: i12...

A red name from the European boards confirmed it. I was perusing around the OBs today and saw a link.

I haven't found anything on our boards, but then again, I'm currently eating chicken fingers and that's more important.

... and I quick reading after Starwolf's first post and didn't see the 17 other posts after that... so what they said.

WOW, talk about timing. I hit 50 last night with my first villain. Looks like its a wolf spider for me. Man, can't even wait for work to be done today! Time goes by soooo slowly waiting for all this awesome-ness.

RE: i12...

Now didn't I just ask that question last night, wouldnt you think they would try to run it up against AoC to keep Heroes and Villains alike home side.

I wouldn't worry too much in a decline on CoH/V because of AoC. I think the majority of clientèle it will take will be from WoW, LOTRO, and GW with very few CoH/V causalities....Phe, Lani? I was hoping though for more of a delay so I could get my villain maxed. DOH! Oh well, I wasn't 50 when Kheldians hit so no big deal.

RE: i12...

OK so once it hits, i have to split my time in half, 50% for my MM that is slowly on her way to 50, and 50% on my new psi blasters, my new plant troller, my new spines/fire, and my fire/kin.

is there any hope for me?

RE: i12...

I'm liking the QoL things so far.

The spam filter is my favorite thing. One easy button to delete and ignore spammer e-mails.

The extra power trays are nice too. I use one for my temp powers so I still have them available without getting in the way of how I like to line up my regular powers. And you can place it anywhere on the screen and in almost any alignment.

Combining inspirations will be cool. I always find myself with too many of one thing. Now all I have to do is right click on the power and it gives me the option to make any other single other inspiration.

I did level up last night, but I didn't really notice the filling of the health and stamina bars or the effects of being "inspired" on leveling.

I'm still working on my redside villain so I can unlock the VEATs, so I can't comment on that yet. But so far, the QoL things are great. Perhaps I'll have to try out the new zone during the holiday weekend.

RE: i12...

I never checked out the new power trays while on test, but I finally took a look at them last night and loved them. Just being able to make them vertical is nice. Being able to snake them around a corner opens up some interesting possibilities as well.

Combining inspirations is something that I haven't done yet, but I expect to come in very handy with any level 25+ character.

I didn't notice a difference with the leveling up at first, but now I can see the difference. You expect to become more powerful when you level up, but now you become really powerful for a short while, then fade back down to your regular level. It's kinda like getting your own character introduction episode.

RE: i12...

i love this issue. the insps at lvling are sweet in the sewers! also, the refilling of hp and end means that when you level, IT WILL RESURRECT YOU! yay! i'm still trying to split my time on my villain and new heroes, but the lag in the rogue isles is really annoying. i just cant wait to be finished with Cap au Diable and move to the next map, the first three are overrun with lvl 1-10 spiders. speaking of which, where is the next one?

GAH i always ask villains questions here!!!
