Communist Threat rocks  :D
'Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime, and every kindness, we birth our future.'

'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'

Well, after the weekend test I'm even more sold on this if I'm honest.

Test phase started ropey, with annoying targeting bugs, but they hotfixed it pretty rapidly and it went smoothly from then on.

In fact, I liked it so much, I ordered a new graphics card today in anticipation for release ;D

i imagine in the style of MMOs there will be another wipe 7-10days before launch and those who have preorder will get early access.

Well, I reay enjoyed last nights session.

Did anyone who got in notice how much more challenging everything seems to be? Seems they've slightly nerfed some passive defences and upped the toughness of the mobs across the board.

Still fun though. And I noticed a nice layer of polish to boot.

i was thinking things had been beefed up Henchmen werent much different but Villains + really did notice beefed up damage etc

got killed a few times running around the prison in MC by Hitmen they really hurt if you dont block there sniper shot attack, where as before i could easily handle anything they threw at me.

The game is polishing up fine i imagine open beta will focus on balancing issues and server stability.
