I was thinking of an artifact that can be used by all classes and has levels with timers. Its called LUCKY artifact and it increases X for a period of Y *
%. For example: an AM might get a higher chance at higher dmg weapon to be made. Or health/dd/shield drops spawn during the timer for all classes. So anything involving chance by any class would have an increase in that chance during the timed artifact use of Lucky.
Even the avoidance of Titan rocks etc. Just an idea!

hmm no denial even for extreme AM? I guess its a bit confusing as to the
reason behind th extreme classes not being an extreme + version of
the existing model. I would think the advantage would be addditional abbilities for a given class based upon the role without exclusions /penaltys..just my opinion

Yes, certainly impressed with the changes and work you and they have done to implemement them..Its a somewhat thankless job, but dont think that those of us who play regularly arent grateful for all the effort and
time invested! THANKS!!
Btw I didnt see Denial anywhere in the skills for subclasses..did I miss
this?

Curious if these subclasses are slated for release on the DC server anytime soon..Have we got a green light from Dru and Shantara?
Nice work so far!

*update*

I tested yesterday with about 20 others. We did the tutorial, some basic pve missions and group pvp. Without going too much into detail I will say this..Combine Team Fortress 2/Bf 2142/COD4 + mmo elements.
So far the game was a blast! Jetpacking adds a little Tribes feel into the mix. Currently, it seems that the persistent world only exists outside of the combat zones and one must join a queue to play the various pve and pvp maps and missions. I played the Robotic class which would be like our Engineer. It did feel a like the TF2 ENG also, and give the ability to play lvl 1/15/50 I did see quite a bit of skill and equipment specialization.
There were skill trees, skill allocation slots and enhancements.
We saw loot drops (although the recipes and enhancements werent yet ingame).
We were invited back for the next few weeks to test the updates and bug fixes so I may drop in again given the time. If I get beta invites I will send them to those interested as CB starts in the next few weeks.

I was invited to an in studio beta test here in Alpharetta Ga near their HQ next week. "Built on the popular and durable Unreal 3 Engine, Global Agenda promises fast-action PvP, a dynamic, player-driven world, strategy elements, robots and more! "
I will post a review with as much detail as I can without violating NDA..
I own a facility http://www.whirlyballatl.com near their HQ and I am hoping to trade out some time at my place for a bunch of accounts if anyone is interested as this will be a p2p game.

Hey y'all..some of ya know that we were expecting a new baby any day and this weekend Amelia was born! In between the chaos I hope to jump on and frag with everyone. If I suddenly jump off and say "BABY DUTY" or "BABY DOODY" you'll know why!

Gratz girl! Its tough on that map too because the engis grab a lot of
hits with their sentinals. nj!

Thanks for the input..I only asked here as I thought maybe others might have done some research recently due to the lack of activity here.

Anyone have a ballpark what it would cost to replicate this server with most of the changes Szlat has proposed and the estimated yearly costs
associated with maintaining it? I may be able to fund this if it is feasible..
I just need some ballpark numbers. tx in advance,
Guru

Any status update on your proposed changes yet?

You'll dig them
I saw STG open for Front 242 about 4 or 5 years ago here in Atlanta and have been a big fan since.
The new Stellastar is out soon too!

Its certainly not as impressive as a Hobo or Elite score..but my 85 LA
is showing promise!

Hey guys! Gearguru/ENGguru/Beetlejuice here..
For all you old farts out there ( and the young cool ones!) I have
started an internet radio station through Live 365!
Its called Allwave Radio and we play new/old/dark wave classics during the day and electronica and dj mixes throughout the evening.
Its been a large undertaking as I have had to catalog over 6,000 12' records and convert them over to mp3. Anyhow the banner is below, and listening is free! See you in game!
