What splits up the playerbase more?

Everyone running off in 2 thousand different directions to go hunt down the items they just bought in some obscure non-instanced player city where there are no players?

Or everyone gathered together at their respective CSD (Rome Blue, Old Athens, and Borealis) shopping, talking, and interacting?

Furthermore, how much sense story wise does it really make that on a planet that has resisted terraforming on 90% of its surface, some Joe Schmoe's have slapped pristine player cities down all over making RK look like Vegas?

This.

So with new timer system, it'll be possible to remove the "Nullity Sphere Negative Feedback" nano that is cast on an NT when he uses Nullity Sphere and just have a 1 minute countdown timer show on NS? 'course, it'd require you updating all these old items with such functionality, but it would be quite awesome.
At least that's how I understand this new timer system to work?

Ofcoz, do what everybody else does: blame the Doctors for breaking the game. What you should've done immediately is Mongo the bugs off from the Docs before it spreads, saving us all! Instead you roundhousewtfkicked the character databases 11 hours back in time! DD alone never got anyone phatz, ever, it's always Mango-Hjeals-DD. In that specific order!

Srsly, it's really good to see that you really work on the old code and will keep doing even after this... mishap. Keep on!

Heh, friend and I were right. We were pretty sure that when TL 7 BS went down we could crash it again every time we killed a particular doc. Tested a few times, then left him alone -- not that it helped.

I think it's only fair that SS has a 30 sec recharge. You know, Engies have a 30-40 sec cast time on their spec blockers (which stops spamming them constantly in PvP joo kno), and they're the original spec blocker users.

Or sure, I'd like to be able to cast 7 spec blockers insta with no recharge, tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Engies are supposed to cast their top pets with help of trader and MP and in full nano skill setup. I would like to see that fixed, so it's all fair and stuff.

We are. I'm waiting for the fix.

Yeah I want Rihwen to hit for as much as a dshark please (also give him specials and supernova/SoFC swap)

No they aren't. Note how Engies could cast their top pet selfed before SL when they leveled enough. Or do you think that a froob without any of the new fancy shmancy items can't self the 200 bot EVER?

In fact, Engies not needing an MP and/or a Trader to cast their top pet is like returning to the OLD DAYS. Which means Engies are where they should be!

If you're a support prof, what you're supposed to do is sit in a team and help your teammates do more damage. And in such a situation, Rihwen's damage already is just fine!

Yes, you should be able to self your level 200 slayerdroid only.

No, u.

Actually, you are a tradeskill profession. You should gain xp/sk/VP in some factory, making carbonum armor.

**bitnykk** · Jun 28th, 2009, 11:35:28

Despite the 11 lost hours, this patch is a major one. Gratz to the team and all the people that made it possible !

I'm looking forward to the balancing changes, 150+ instance(s), and may be new battlestations ? May i dream possibly for a non-gravity one with firing yalms fights (wich would also protect from outter space Dot) ^_^ ...

Anyway, enough talk, let's enjoy AO's birthday !

No, it's obvious that with all the nanoskill items, FC wanted us to return to the old days of self-casting our highest bot. Not be at the mercy of some stinking MP like you!

No, u.

What, you just said on another thread that you are!

Actually, you are a tradeskill profession.

If we go down that path, then you are an IMPLANT MAKING PROFESSION. You should gain XP/SK/VP by sitting in some factory, making implants all day!

Just bring back the combat vehicles period ( Manta AV, the tanks shown in the opening movie, etc. ).
