Swimming in lakes and rivers too.

Rico's Roughnecks!

I know right?

Well that is a given when your ten gallon hat is feelin five gallons flat.

Count Orlok! Nooooooo!

Play Stay Shun!

I have the alts under control. I swear. Granted I have like a lot of Dual Pistols characters . . . three DP Blasters (MC, Time and Ninja), a DP/Kin Corr, a Time/DP Defender . . . crap I don't have a DP Sentinel . . . and Sentinels are getting love . . . So I could make a DP Sentinel and it would be for testing . . . yeah that's it. Looks at watch to see how much longer before leave work . . . excellent.

Heheh. I made several promises to myself of what I would and wouldn't do on Homecoming versus live and one of them was a billion alts I never carried through on. I am not unhappy with the result. Sometimes I play them and like them then move them to Everlasting because I might revisit them. Others, yeah, eliminated with extreme prejudice after stripping everything form them. Oh the manual merit transfer mails 😞

Most of the new costumes shown from the current test server are . . . meh and the Bratz-Bobblehead thing . . . YUCK. So I will continue to sell my Aether until they make the costumes alter to fit your gender and scale to height which will cause me to have to spend berdillions on Aether 🙂

I am looking forward to it. I do not have as many alts as I used to so I am not having anxiety - mostly. The first pass will be mostly about tweaking and fine tuning as opposed to shifting major alignments for earlier usability. Most alts are not exemping down any more so its not a super problem. - Mercs MM - The two upgrades and adding serum. Fortunately I had some trash pool powers I could dump and realign slots. - DP/Ninja Blaster - Secondary selection change allows me to dump tranq dart and be extra swordy. - Fire/Fire Sentinel - Some tweaking relating to alterations to certain powers and an evaluation of Power of the Phoenix becoming a tool and not just a rez like that Dark one that stuns people . . . Noisy Death Stun . . . Howling Twilight. Now later on, when the OCD wakes me up at 3 AM and I am unable to get back to sleep because I am thinking about 108 permutations of Kinetics on a DP Corruptor, then I will have an issue.

I need to get my eyes checked because that was not the word I thought I saw. I thought I saw some new word for a colonoscopy.

The text description should be cleaned up because I just got through about 45 minutes of testing on the Test server after I saw what I thought was a bug both with this and the Impervious Skin Resistance/Regeneration IO.

Okay I just got done with the Hunstwoman Same ultimate end result as the Merc, broke in iCon but fine on the outside. But I was ale to get the screen shots working and I am gonna post them for information. This is to not pick a fight, or question anything but rather provide you all some additional information to work with. So as I said previously, I go into iCon and in the case of the Merc they have swapped the Merc gun for the frankengun (with the red fee and all) and the muzzle flash in iCon was actually good. The Spider still correctly had her gun and it was good. I did not choose the back holster change just went to the animation and watched the muzzle flashes render fine. (01 MERC and 03 ARAC) Then I go and make the changes to the Merc from Frankengun to regular weapon (still not doing holstered) and now it gets render broken. With the Arachnos I do the holstered and it gets broken. Again, I understand that this is in iCon so in the scope of the patch and everything as long as its cool outside (which it is) then its more of an aesthetic quibble, but there is something to the issue being weapon customization unrelated to the holstered weapons. Hope this helps.

Okay just fired it up and executed the changes then left iCon. Sure as Rikti Monkies have gas the muzzle flash was good to go. Note - When I jumped on Excelsior and went into iCon the tailor had put the default Frankengun in my weapon slot (16,000 influence red) but the muzzle flash animation was actually correct. Then when I switched to the Merc gun it was off like on Test (as you noted), then when I went back tot he Frankengun it was also off. Something to maybe put on a list of eventual look-see's. But the "real world" out of iCon render is good. Thanks. Back to testing.

Interesting since I have never seen this before. but I will be home in a few hours and commit the change then step out of iCon to test. I suppose I should have posted this in Bugs not here. Will advise.

This was a transferred character from Excelsior (Munitions Mistress) Level 43. Female Body Type, Average sliders, eye patch. She has Burst, Slug and M30 Grenade. Use the Mercenary rifle without silencer but tested it with every gun once I saw it. Now this was in iCon because I was doing the costume change and when it went to the next page where it shows the animation, that's where you see it. Conversely I actually never committed the change (because it drove me crazy) so I will have to go home and do so to see if it remains after I leave.

That said, I really love this and look forward to more with the promise of holstered pistols. Separately, and this is more of a wish statement, I would love to see a lateral rifle cradle on the back, it wouldn't really require any alteration to the draw animation (mostly) as it just sits on the back parallel to the shoulder blades. There was one in Champions Online and it was really cool looking.

Specific feedback: Jumped on my Mercs Mastermind and there is something broken with the muzzle flash. I tried to do screen caps for like a half hour to try and get one but no success. I tried this with multiple different rifles, all the same result. Muzzle flash from the side looks like its coming from the crook of the elbow. But the most glaring is when looking head on at the character who is pointing their weapon at you. When the weapons fire animates, the muzzle flash is what would equate to like 2 feet to the left (the characters right). Again, it didn't matter what weapon or what animation; Burst, Slug or M30 it was all the same. I will copy over my Huntress (Arachnos Soldier) today to check that out. I am seeing that comment about firing point desync fixes and this testing was done after the very latest patch (Like I tested around 11 PM EST) so either that caused it or it didnt fix it, or dev magic 🙂

Also to further get off topic, EB is the least likable member of the Sports Junkies radio team.

Only the French would bill Edmund Gwenn, Pat Medfords science father who has a sum total of maybe 7-8 minutes of screen time over the three main actors, two of which are in damn near every frame of the film.

Joke Mode Enabled - Do Not Take Seriously Well they are Mummy's and since it was you that broke the seal of Ra Amun Ka's tomb they should only pursue you for their vengeance and not the 6 hired laborers you brought along. As for the Witches, did they add the little dog too part or just the I'll get you my pretty. Secure from Joke Mode - Restow all gear.

That version had an exclamation point. Great film Pat Medford was a female icon if you ask me. Mmmm. Sweet Formic Acid.

Ham or extra steps ham (aka sausage) How can extra steps cost less. Plus its all the same animal

No but there is a pretty good cluster with a central courtyard you can work pretty hard as a League by the hospital. I badge capped about 7 characters there in a few hours cycling alts and no lag. My problem was that my dumb a$$ forgot to turn on a costume so the Tip for the Malleus Mundi would drop on said alts so I could cycle in my badge hunter six times.

I know right? Dunkin Donuts too. And what about Chick Fil A killing the chicken salad sandwich. Justice for Chicken Salad!
