Figured out what causes the shootout rubberbanding today. Seems that any skills that slow your movement speed cause the rubberbanding to happen if the skill uses a different weapon than you used last, so the Builder-Consumer-Shootout force crit method has a tendency to produce rubberbanding. If you tweak your rotation correctly, you can prevent rubberbanding.
Yeah, that's why I bought the purple binding, after the first rotation, you just shift OfaK after shootout, and you get the full binding effect during the shootout rather than just for the first 2 hits
Apparently I have 1200 bonus points for the tsw shop (which were given at 30 missions I read, are there any more bonus point milestones?) and 10 veteran points
I'll check later if the veteran items are any good; for the bonus points: are the issue mission packs ever on sale? I think I'll keep it for issue #9, Tokyo or maybe even 8.

New York raid is awesome. Just sucks we didn't kill the boss. Got him to 10k and then we wiped. I kept dying like a dumb ass right at the end. I feel like we could have done it if I had stayed alive a little longer.

What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable? ~ Mario Novak
I never fear death or dyin', I only fear never trying.
@Alegis: As far as I know, those are the only bonus points you'll get, if you're not a subscriber. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)
Mission packs, I've never seen them go on sale. If aux weapons are important to you, Issue 6 is where you get the Whip, and 7 nets you the Flamethrower.
So I see the monthly things (for men) are bowtie chokers (for all your Chippendale needs), and subscribers get a bat-man... pet... thing.
Today I Learned: If you inspect a person you can link their equipment in the chat. Can't get into a raid group without experience? Link someone else's 10.5 item!
Yeah, that's the thing. Weekends are for doing stuff we can't do during the week, like spend time with family. /shrug
On the off-chance that I do get time to try it, #1 I still don't have experience, and #2 I can't commit to a schedule. So, until the stars align, I wait.
Smart money is on the Dragon using Tokyo to destroy the secrecy of the Secret World. There have been persistent hints, moreso if you are a Dragon, that they are actively working against the grand cover up. And we know the secret can't stay a secret forever.
Lots of talk over at the TSW-RP site. Bunch of folks think that it will be shown that the Dragon planned or at least facilitated the attack on Tokyo in order to spur Gaia to create more bees, so that there would be quite a number of them for whatever's coming next.
As for what the Orochi Group is doing- why exactly are they so obsessed with making a super-soldier? Is it in case the bees fail at stopping whatever's coming?

Dun dun dun...
I have faith the writers are better than this. Making the Dragon retroactively responsible for something like that would be fairly lazy and uninteresting, not to mention a phenomenally shitty plan by the Dragon. Evolving the story in a legitimately new direction would be far better than TVTropes Xanatos Roulette silliness.
No one has less to lose from the Secret World ceasing to be secret than the Dragon. Calculated chaos. It would force the other Cabals to evolve or die, something which is very much dwelled upon at the end of the New York Raid.
I'm looking forward to having a point for AP again. The aux weapons give me something to spend it on for about 1 day, so I like the look of these. I'm kind of curious how it's going to work though, whether things like the attack rating buff are permanent passives, passives that go in a new slot, items we add to gear, or what.
It appears that most of them are slotted to an active ability, and perform some benefit when that ability is used (depending on the augment).
So like, that one heals you for a % of your HP every time you use an ability. Might be good for a blood/ele DPS spec, what with it requiring Blood Offering to be active...
Accelerating sounds like a great way to increase the uptime of Do or Die, or more chances at LSB or L&L. I'd say DA and BS, but they'll be different by the time we get augments anyway.
Yeah, and I doubt funcom would think to change the buff if you put the augment on too

Question from a newbie: Could you please give me some advice on where to spend the 1200 bonus points I got from completing 30 missions?
I don't care that much about vanity items.
Some extra storage space...though I can buy that later with ingame currency.
Perhaps one of the 3 issues available on the store: A Dream To Kill (1200 points), Last Train to Cairo (1200 Points), The Banishing Tyler Freeborn (750 points).

The Issues are the best thing to spend bonus points on. The Vanishing of Tyler Freeborn, Last Train to Cairo, and Dream to Kill are all fantastic storylines and gameplay.

Ah cool, I was wondering who P-Dubs was on the forums (Also the name is Suia)
It was way too late when I made that post because I know I didn't put an R in the name.

Edit: Got a different healer for 6. Finished the dungeon in 3 hours 19 minutes!
Know enough about it and Fac to MP them now?
I got into an 18's + HE last night. Full clear. Wiped a couple times on HE 4/6 'coz my running legs are rusty, apparently. But otherwise great.
So I am 5 glyph kits = 100 BB away from completing my DPS set.

Augment strings pulled from TestLive data files (I guess?). Getting all of these could take a while.
Rampant sounds cool, +targets in AoE abilities.
Accelerating sounds hyper-broken.

Yes, it is. They have mentioned that we will need to upgrade our characters to be able to store more AP than our current 175AP max.

Tyler Freeborn remains my personal favorite.
