All by herself, Shinmael pwnt Shock Treatment. The key was not even bothering to attack when she was in that electric body form (bu+headsplitter does 23 points? WTF pointless!) but holding her agg so she didnt just escape with the loot. Waited for the defense buff to wear off–by then she could use the rest anyway, fucking sappage–and then resumed hacking.

Compiled by the folks at cesspit.net, it doesn’t tell us anything we didn’t expect - subscribers down a touch, Tabular Rasa on it’s way to beta - oh and a possible all-access pass for NCSoft in the works. I guess that would qualify as ‘new’.

Thoughts?

Want to see a bit more about sets of invention enhancements? Feast your eyes on this list, showing all the awesomeness that will be coming with I9. Note that some setscannot be equipped before a certain level, but as with all invention enhancements, you can leave them slotted indefinitely as they don’t expire.

Some new tidbits of information for Issue 9 in the article at MMORPG.com :

My favorites?

Hamidon, changed to be doable with smaller groups, tactics, and you can CHOOSE your bonus at the end - including rare recipes. Yum.

Performance: Made changes to the following graphics effects for performance improvements:

There is an interview with Matt Miller (Positron) on Warcry.

Notable quotes:

On transferring characters to different servers: It will happen. If you transfer to a server where your name is already taken, you will be asked to rename your character.

PISTOLS! Akimbo Pistols is planned as a Corruptor set at first, and it is NOT, and never will be, a Scrapper or Stalker set.

To which I must pant: WHEN!?? When can I transfer Fannie to another server to make room for a lowbie on Triumph?? Yarrr! When can I make my Chow Yun Fat ripoff??! Gun Fu!! When??!

This one intrigues me, so I thought I’d post about it here on the good old PCDA. In the past, the affiliate program for PayPerPost ad network was pretty generic - a quick link in the sidebar and you were all set. The pros? Well, it paid a nice finder’s fee. The cons?
