That sounds like fixer love in pvp! Take them the love away you gived them

I <3 you Kintaii

Seriously, big up for giving roleplayers the spotlight we've lacked. I don't honestly care about the whole Aimed Shot deal at all, far more concerned about the RP/storyline issue and the new pretty fancy engine and the awesome new faces! You guys rock.

**Aethyrguard** · Aug 14th, 2009, 18:56:04

Ha! You are Aideen! <3 Nice stuff.

While i didn't vote for "The Grind". I did think of something fun and funny that could be put in it IF it wins (I voted for Nexus).

A mini-game/quest you can initiate every 24hrs in the nightclub that upon completion gives a 4hr XP buff that does not terminate on death. Figured it'd be a fun way to poke at it's own name!

Thank you for the updates and the reasurances that fc realises how much we care about the game. Personally I'm quite interested in seeing how the changes to aimed shot and other ballancing techniques will work out. I've always resisted the idea of needing to have aimed shot on every toon I pvp with in order to compete. In some situations I know this has gimped my toons...but I have enjoyed building my toons around their own class abilities. It should be fun to see how things progress.

On a side note... Piles of Zixes swarming through OA and other cities... Oh the memories of reclaim that thought brings back... many many visits to reclaim and a few last second fixer meeps as well.

Thanks for the fun of those you were behind in the past.

I just have to ask..

I'm guessing that like most other designers you guys use 3DS Max or equivalent to make your meshes in.
Then export to (insert engine-name here)
And if so, did you save your 3dsmax files?
Cause that would speed things up so you just make a new plugin for the new engine and just export all the stuff to the new one..

I'm asking cause i remember it was said, that you had to do all work from scratch again, and one of the devs was so very happy about his rock..

I would love to see the artists come up with a revamped version of the Atrox head with the red-out eye and the tattoo surrounding it; I'll update my avatar to show it. It's probably my favorite Atrox head and I can't wait to see what it'll look like under the upcoming engine changes.

Great post by the way and DEATHLY glad they're going to test it on testlive to make sure it doesn't screw up the game. If FunCom coders or other employees are seeing this post though, pay particular attention to how this will affect Agents, Doctors, and Traders, since they either depend on AimedShot for a majority of their PVP damage (Doctors especially) or are masters at it (Agent). Nerf it too hard and you bring these 3 professions crashing down.

Based on the post, I don't think it will change things that much. It simply sounds like people won't be able to AS then FA right after it. They're using a shared timer/lockout period. It would be for those people that are using FA, then swapping to another weapon for the AS. Anyone that would use that single special wouldn't notice a difference. But that's just how I read that.

**Phargus** · Aug 14th, 2009, 19:48:18

The important thing to remember is: KINTAII IS NERFING AS!

(On the bright side now I get to try out that vodoo doll i was thinking of with a pitbull stuck to the crotch)

**Niles** · Aug 14th, 2009, 19:56:40

wow, loads of text, and good stuff, cant wait!

**Odov** · Aug 14th, 2009, 20:10:36

I have nothing to say but I'm going to post a reply anyway. Booyah!

**Trinkiteer** · Aug 14th, 2009, 20:24:03

That last picture looks like the Doubble AS tigress!
FINALY!!!!!!!!!
Now we can start whine about that it's missing full auto!!!!

Side note's, none of the names of that club is any good.
Just go with smokers lounge.

Everyone is an honarary member of it anyways.

**Saharinka** · Aug 14th, 2009, 20:25:24

any news about fixer prof rebalancing?

**Louderer789** · Aug 14th, 2009, 20:31:59

So...after Means mentioned the AS changes to come, leaving many professions unsure of their future...you repost the portion of AS changes we already knew in addition to the fact that they won't happen anytime soon? How is this useful

Does this mean we'll finally get a proper launcher that actually recognizes our graphics cards?

That would be after everything else has been done, the so called Fixer adjustments was a joke.

Only up until around mid-2007 or so - Since then he's been played by another one of our really talented Events guys (who I'll leave anonymous for various reasons.

).
