Scroll down to the EC changes; they're making EC SM MUUUUCH easier by the looks of it. Can't kill the shield generators? Hello, AOE goodness.

Definitely some neat stuff in there. Looking forward to having more time to play!

Drat, now I can't use my new helmet!

Reduced respawn on all the BH dailies is a nice touch

Wouldn't surprise me if they also have the mood as declared as an emote to tell the world.

this is how EQ2 had it set up. If you typed /mood scared, you would put on an "O" face and it would emote that you are frightened. Same with happy, sad, tired, angry. Prob one or two more I can't remember.

Also,

it appears they basically "easy-moded" all the Story-mode Ops. Increased Enrage timer lengths, less boss damage output, higher debuff cast times, etc etc. Not entirely sure this was all necessary (maybe some), just seems it is their way of either balancing or scaling the content, and I'd dare say it's so that the "newer" playerbase doesn't have a panty-wadding coronary trying to run these things in GF.

SWG had this and Alvians usually set moods like vengeful or drunk.

I think I had a macro the set /mood vengeful at login...

I would only change it for initiations...which would then be changed to /mood drunk

Looks like 1.4 is coming tomorrow!

If 1.4 drops tomorrow I am not optimistic about a stable server come raid time.

I guess what I'm saying is make sure your beer fridge is stocked.

Ooohh! You're buying me a beer fridge! Awesome!

I would suggest everyone do all of the BH dailies tonight if possible on the off chance the weekly gets reset with the change to 1.4

Also like Joun I'm not optimistic about server stability for tomorrow...but we'll see how things are tomorrow.

Was down to 3 bottles of beer, it was a travesty. I was considering drinking wine.
Happy day today though, brought home 2 kegs so I am ready for tomorrows crap.

Whatchoo gonna be playin this on Skig? I'm prob gonna be pickin this up as well, and I hear the co-op is pretty sweet....

PC, I picked it up on Steam. I can't handle FPSes without a mouse.

Pretty sweet so far. Friend me as Skiggity if you see me on, I think that's my Steam name too.

I am playing the XBOX 360 version. I know the PC version would look better, but I have more friends with the xbox copy. Going to be hard to play that after Resident Evil 6 next week.

LOL, you and your Gaming-A.D.H.D.
