LOL!  Yeah it's embarrassing to wear some dress shirts because of chest hair / nipples showing through.

Re: OOC

Arbiter:
Since you've shown a disturbing eagerness to use your new jetpack right out of the gate, we should probably figure out which kind you have. ;)

Equipment:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10381641/Equipment_Stats.pdf

Jetpacks start on Page 51


Mittens:
Flying kitties are fun!  :)

Answer:  Uh....   *stares at linked pdf*...  I don't know?  *stares some more*

Not in there.  This is the one I had in mind:

SW RPG 2E Revised Rulebook page 263:
Jet Pack:  Cost 800


Why that one?  First because the Bounty Hunter template (pg 268) simply says, "Jet Pack" in his gear.  The only statted jet pack in that book is the Hush About (Cost 1800) on pg 226, so I figured they must be talking about the generic unstatted one mentioned on pg 263 because they're already giving lots of valuable stuff to the bounty hunter compared to the other templates.  I won't cry too many tears if you make me take the hush about specifically, but I can't find anything else statted that matches what I guessed they were talking about in the template.

Why cry over the hush about even though it's worth more?  Because it's statted.  I'm not a fan of inventory management.  It's my least favorite thing in any game.  MMO vendor trash drives me insane.  ME3 encumbrance makes me want to strangle the game makers.  Reason being is keeping track of how many arrows are left in my D&D ranger's quiver is WORK.  Not play.  So I'll buy 50 quivers and drag 'em around in a wagon if I have to.  I play games for fun.  If the work even begins to approach the play in any game, my fun meter takes a serious hit.

So I'm more than happy just sticking with generic unstatted "jet pack" if you don't mind.  I'd prefer it to the "hush about" even, because that one is statted.  And statted means "have to reference inventory."  Which means less fun.  (Exception being games where the whole point of the game is stuff like that.  *thinks*  Uh...  Monopoly?)  I would be more than happy to add all kinds of flavor to the E-102 "Superglide" all-purpose jetpack Mittens acquired on a ranger raid, but adding stats will make me cry.

(BTW I have yet to meet a DM that made the ranger keep track of how many arrows he had left, so I'm guessing I'm not alone in this sentiment at least among PnP gamers.)

Re: OOC

Arbiter:
Heh.  I really just brought it up because I figured you might have a preference.  Honestly, the lees I have to keep track of the better.  These guys haven't had to change a blaster pack since the game started. ;)


YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!

Arbiter:
just keep in mind that jetpacks have a limited number of jumps before they need refueling.  Average seems to be around a half dozen, so we'll go with that.


Mittens:
*duct-tapes 50 quivers to back of jetpack*

D6 difficulty chart

Difficulty

Easy
Moderate
Difficult
Very Difficult
Heroic
Difficulty Number
1-5
6-10
11-15
16-20
21-30
31 +


so 9D still doesn't quite make "moderate" on a catastrophic fail.  Bright side, it'll only happen once every 46,656 rolls...  which means a lot when you plug in murphey's law.

I had been completely unaware of the existence of this.

It's another loyalty bonus package, for having active sub from December 1st 2011 through March 31st 2012.  Payoff is supposed to be April 18th.

Tempered Through Fire, a new Account-Wide Badge.
The Helm of Zeus and the Helm of Tartarus. Two new helmets, inspired by Statesman and Lord Recluse.
Paragon, a new Chest Emblem that all Heroes or Villains can wear proudly.
The Inner Will costume change emote. Tap into primal forces to change into a new costume.
A non-combat companion pet. (Unspecified)
The Battle Fury Aura. Your character will appear to be channeling awesome cosmic powers.

The link just lists what I did, but also has concept art for the helmets.

Re: OOC

Ah, extra costume slot.  One of the most worthwhile purchases in the store.

A reminder for if you ever break down deciding on buying permanent cape or auras unlocks.  Buy Auras FIRST.

Why?  Because if you buy cape unlock, you still need to run the cape missions anyways before you can get at the aura unlock missions.

Re: OOC

Update for Mids.

The expected: Water Blast.

The UNexpected:  They put in the Beta versions of upcoming Bio Armor and Nature affinity which are going live "soon".

EDIT: Patch notes say it's the BETA version of water in Mids right now.  Ooops.

Re: OOC

Huh.

Defender Psychic Mastery Dominate (which can be gained at lv 35 these days) Is a better HOLD, than Ice blast's Bitter Freeze Ray (lv 35 access for defenders).

I am glad I noticed this, it clinches what Epic pool to use for Frost Frank, even if the only power I snag is that, I can stack it wonderfully with Freeze Ray (lv 18 for Defender) for boss freezing goodness.

Freeze ray all by itself is almost as good as lv 1 Troller hold after slots, but I can't "spare" slots for that till like, lv 36.

Re: OOC

Either I got the dates wrong, or got it mixed up with the since aborted Shop maintenance dates.  Double Experience weekend starts Friday the 10th and runs through sunday the 13th.  While captain Mako "week" runs 10 days from the 10th to 20th where the Devs will have GM controlled Mako show up once per server each day.

He of course, shows up on TWO days for the ViP only server :eyeroll:

Re: OOC

Before I finally sleep which I should have done hours ago.

EDIT:  ... Oh, sleep lacking means I MISSREAD POST. whoo

Prior posts indicated Bamzor is teleporting the whole lot of them to the Peregrine Island ferry, right between the Police drones for extra safety (Hopefully those are not on the fritz TOO).  It would have made more sense to go to the hospital for wounded, but Bamzor was expecting 'Evacuate the Zone!' scale explosions.

EDIT Two:  Mental Image of Kyle Crookes off somewhere crying into a bottle at the mention of Bomb Squads.

Re: OOC

Guild Wars 2.  Out of digital copies.

I did however, order it physical copy wise on amazon for the hell of it.  Supposed arrival date Thursday.   Even if I'm grabbing it, not like there is any rush.  City is still up.

Ye olde "Races are segregated to their own tutorial zone and starter zones" like WoW/EQ.  But also at least some "Dynamic level scale" stuff for higher level people to still do stuff in lower areas.

Yes, there is a midget race.  According to Mako, in the first game one of the Asura was voiced By/like The Brain, Orson Wells impression style.

EDIT: Also a reminder of one of the more... Unique good perks in Champions online for subscribers.  "You got a character to max level?  Have an extra character slot.  You got another character to max level?  You know what you get? ANOTHER Character slot."

also...




EDIT: More Guild Wars bits.

"Axe or Mace? Rifle or Greatsword? You know, they're all good."  supposedly, Warrior Style Soldiers have a side in rifle proficiency (can't use pistols though).

Q: "I see a heavy black outline around the characters, especially at a distance. Is this normal? Is this something that can be minimized?"
A: "it can be turned off just turn on advanced setting for grapics and find the outline setting and check it to off, i orefer it this way myself and it will actully improve performance in game"

One of the big things that I strongly disliked about champs is OPTIONAL!  WOOO!

Re: OOC

So.  Guild wars came TODAY o.o

I was gonna do 4 buck "get it today (as in, it's 4AM, get it while it's still sunday!) for the novelty of getting mail on a Sunday, but Brother convinced me to do Free 2 Day because "Nothing comes sunday, and it's a holiday".

Came today anyways.

Not intending to play it much tonight, but I am setting it up and thus giving you an heads up for if you ever pick up the game sometime.

I set Maguuma as my "Home Realm" (apparently gotta pay to change that) since that's where the crazed SA Goons are, and I have no idea what realm Mako plays around on anyways.


Also, yeah CO option to turn off the black border was something I mentioned way back when, and I used it myself.  Less because I hated it, and more because I wanted a better view of how my shiny robots turned out in shiny quality during costume creation.

EDIT: I saw the fact the Asura got golem summons for racial skills coming (including a piloted mech for yourself or ally)... But I did not see "Cat person racial skills". coming.  BAZOOKAS! ALL THE BAZOOKAS!

So it turns our the Charr are cat people with minotaur horns.  You had it right otherwise.

Can understand though, considering some of the Concept art:

Reminded from seeing some Nord necromancers wandering the Nord tutorial zone.  (I made a Nord Thief).
