    Um.. what?!?

    I was wearing it on my sleeve until the Vahzilok took my arm!
  2. Addendum: killing Skuls in Perez Park on level 20+ characters with at least one AoE attack.

    Um.. what?!?

    This thread is breaking my heart.
  4. It's funny, for me it was the reverse. IOs came out with Issue 9, and I tried to get into them but just couldn't grasp the concept for some reason. I was already burnt out on the game at that time so I let my subscription lapse. I forget exactly when I came back, maybe between Issues 10 and 11, but eventually I was able to get a handle of how IOs and set bonuses worked. Once I cracked that nut of awesomeness I was hooked. Now I rarely create a new character without putting together at least a partial build with IOs in Mid's in anticipation of a late-game that usually never arrives due to crippling alt-itis.

    NGG! Can't believe I missed that one. I sure put my foot in it!

    Sounds like they had a head-start on the heroes of Paragon. We'd better get those arms back! Just have to find sufficient evidence to finger the perp. It'll be a footrace in the quest to stop these guys! But we're going to have to make sure we toe the line of crimefighting, otherwise we might get some lip, and that could be a hairy situation. My point is, we need to keep an eye on the situation before torso elbow earlobe.

    Ghost town?

    Hey guys, can I have your 2XP crumbs/dust? It turns out UPS doesn't know what the hell they're doing.

    1. Looks awesome if a bit flashy.
    2. Can we at least pick better initials or short form name for the power set. Being the adult human that I am... those two letters keep pointing my mind towards the gutter. I can almost imagion the comments and puns that will be poping up.
    It's not the game's first terrible abbreviation. Broadsword is BS, and the Black Market is abbreviated as the even-worse BM.

    I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CONFUSE "WEST" AND "EAST" IN AN ADDRESS. ONE IS WEST AND ONE IS EAST. THEY ARE OPPOSITES. THAT IS THE POINT!!

    *slow, deep breaths*

    So, how's everyone enjoying 2XP?

  12. Well I'm going to be one of the few people who (partially) comes to the OP's defense here and says that I have also had problems with Claws(/SR). Mine is 35-37 (I forget exactly) but that was achieved mainly by leeching XP from task force runs where I really didn't feel as though I was contributing much. I certainly wouldn't call the set broken since many people clearly have a lot of success with it (including BillZ from my home server), but apparently I'm missing some aspect of how to play it. I was just about to return to my Claws/SR Scrapper on Sunday before a major computer failure, but once I get back up and running I'm hoping to figure out how to play this stupid* thing.

    *this is me projecting

    That post was pretty ambiguous. The title does clearly state that it begins in Tuesday, but the message could be interpreted as saying that the server was merely going down on Tuesday. I think the main confusion here is between that and the fact that the patch (which was quite large) went up late in the day. If you look at the announcement for the Dual Pistols Closed Beta, it was a lot clearer.
  14. But didn't JLove say he had 6 or 7 new costume sets done for GR?

    Worst Miss Tells

    I saw a short while ago:

    Person: mt
    Person: mt
    Person: those last two messages were mistells

    Regrettably, the swallow's speed greatly decreases whenever it attacks.

    58.63 MPH is the speed cap of the unladen swallow. Any further enhancement is wasted.

    There's also this.
  18. The sound of the Assault Bot's missiles blowing stuff up

    Doctor Creed's missions, especially the mission where you use the Anti-Serum to blow up Infected (every time I finish this mission I spend the next 8-10 minutes circling the building that the mission is in, using the Anti-Serum as much as I can until it expires)

    The sound Footstomp makes when it knocks down a huge mob of enemies

    Footstomp's alternate ground-punch animation

    Using the Veteran Nemesis Staff to knock Outcasts, Council and 5th Column off the ledge outside the Steel Canyon Wentworth's

    Parking my Invuln Tanker in front of a Rikti Pylon and needing to take no action in order to survive (I just discovered that I can do this, it's awesome)

    Power Customization. There's some great color combinations you can get, and it's fun to see the colors of other people's costumes. Dark red Dark Melee/Dark Armor looks really sexy, really just the depth of customization you can do with dark powers in general is cool to see.

    Certain individuals have strongly implied (without breaking the NDA) that it has begun.

    Not true. 3 SOs caps Fly.
  21. I got into Dual Pistols closed beta when my account had been inactive for 3 months because I had the loyalty badge (yes, the invite is part of what pulled me back to the game), and it was my first closed beta. I made a few bug reports but not really a lot. No I17 CB invite for me (which is fine, I can't play right now and I'd rather play 2XP than CB come tomorrow). So who the hell knows.

    Whining about being left out certainly isn't going to get you in, though.

Now, we get a loan from a bank or a credit union or somewhere else. We buy now and then pay later! And later. And later. And later...
    "Pass the Duck" is a whole new level of abandoning personal responsibility though. Apparently "too big to fail" applies to individuals now.

    When I said/typed this...

    "Why should I pay for GR then?

    I'm probably not going to buy GR.

    If they added AT proliferation, I would most definitely buy GR.

    As of right now, I have no use for GR."


    I did it to illustrate that some people will feel that way.
    The only thing you illustrated is that people who feel that way are hypocrites who will buy the expansion anyway.
