Er, they didn't mention fixing the irritating sound Sonic's Disruption Field currently makes.. Does that mean they somehow missed it? *hopes hopes not*

I don't mind the sound too much, I just wish they move it from the midsection back down to the feet.

That is weird about the HO change. If I am at a successful raid in the Hive I can get a level 50 HO at 45, etc., so why not in the TFs? I assume there was some behavior they wanted to discourage, but I can't guess what it is. It made hitting 47 funnerer since I could finally slot all the HOs I had been collecting. :)

I think this is including the Hami Raid too actually. The wording makes it sound like it's not going to be available at all to level 45s. Maybe I'm reading that wrong. But it looks like they are wanting people to rely less on HOs and more on IO sets.

noisyparker August 14 2007, 20:41:53 UTC

Oh, well I suppose they are happy now then.

I wish they would just send me a list of exactly how they want me to play the game so I don't make any mistakes. I really hope this isn't just some social engineering thing like that. That makes baby Hulk smash.

wyndie August 14 2007, 20:49:44 UTC

My other thought would be that they are trying to make HOs ultra rare and thus drive up the prices even more to spend all those billions of dolla... influence beta testers have earned.

But then, I'm not a dev. I found out last night that the reason they put Statesman in IP was that they thought more 50s would help lowbies fight Lusca. Totally not something I would have thought about honestly if I hadn't been told that. Honestly, the furthest thing from my mind is helping with Lusca if I'm on or trying to get on an STF.

Color me confuzled. Isn't the Power of the Hamidon temp power REQUIRED to defeat the Honoree in the LGTF? So your only choices are to put up with the irritating f/x or delete it? Perhaps I'm just confused.

cmzero August 14 2007, 17:34:03 UTC

This is probably specifically to address a bug where if the TF fails, you can't get rid of the bloody thing, and in 4 months you'll still be bright enough to use as a Christmas tree. (A friend of mine has a specific alt he hasn't pulled out in a week for this reason.)

Deleting it before the TF is over, one way or another, is still not recommended.

kitchenqueen August 14 2007, 19:20:07 UTC

Ah, thanks for clearing that up for me! I can't imagine how annoying that would be! It was a minor bother when another member of my TF team had it, but it was a whole other animal when I had it. I would still like to see them tone down the brightness a tad, though.

optimusklein August 14 2007, 16:58:07 UTC

Thanks for putting this up where we could all see it =^.^=

No word on the Lag Bomb invasion forces use the second the first announcement goes off, though.
*sigh*
