  1. Awesomeness. I'm still working on getting DumpleBaby to learn all the important animal noises: Cow, horse, zombie, werewolf, etc.
  2. Those are all pics...of the same people standing in exactly the same place.

  4. So how many people in this thread never actually read the original post? That's the one with the info in it.

    Other than "because they said so?"

    Outside of that, yeah...I see no need to preorder here.

    This is correct. The Praetorian version was a villain who turned good, and now sells enhancements in Peregrine Island. The Primal version was a hero who "turned bad," in that he was killed and used in the Revenant Hero Project.

    This is debatable. But then, that's why he's my favorite patron.

  10. The Canon answer on the "netherworld:"

    Quote:
    Question When Lady Grey stole some of Honeree's essence during that last big battle in the comic, she said something like "May I have some of your years."
    That made me wonder, is that what Council vamps and dark melee characters do?
    Answer: In that instance, Lady Grey was using her signature power called Aging Touch. It allows her to siphon some of the life energy from her opponent, quite literally shortening their life. This specific power is theoretically unique to her. However, drawing upon the power of Shadow Earth for Dark Melee and other shadow powers can have various effects and it is possible that some other heroes and villains might have similar effects. We leave it to the fertile imagination of our players to describe exactly how *their* character’s powers work within the framework we provide in our descriptions.
  11. Agreed, Snow. That popup window is a pain in the neck.

    it would be fun if heroes could go to the rogue isle (but not turn villain like GR will bring.) and pvp with the villain there and vice versa.
    No, it wouldn't.
    Quote:
    i think it would bring more peep to the rogue isle and paragon.
    This change would probably result in more people leaving the game, than joining.
    Quote:
    the bad:
    of course griefer and ganker will start to apear. but the good side is the rogue isle will no longer be a ghost town :-(
    Redside isn't a ghost town. I don't know what server/play times you are on, but it's always packed for me.

    That's the PPD hardsuit costume. It's like the Halloween costumes, except you can earn/win the costume toggle permanently. Remember, it's like the Halloween costumes.
  14. 1. Av, thanks for the post laying things out.

    2. You realize that a portion of the community are just going to wait for the best deal and only buy CE at a later date, right?

    3. Re: the other posts... Some of you people give me a headache. Obviously reading and math aren't your strong points.

    Or will the costumes and powers be available in a $10 add-on pack?

    Or would it be possible to pre-purchase for the $40 Complete Collection?

    I'm not hurting for money or anything, just the cheap bastich in me quails a bit at paying $40 for $10 worth of extras.

    Now am I completely wrong here, missing something, *BLEEP!*ed in the head?
    If you want DP and DS early, you prepay. Period.

    If you want the basic GR, you buy the basic GR.

    If you want the CE GR, you buy the CE GR.

    You can pre-purchase either. Thus far, we don't know anything about a $10 goodie upgrade for costume stuff. Why anyone would want to spend $10 on the costumes of GR and not anything else relating to GR is beyond me.

    Also, yes, the PlayNC store will probably break the day this goes up for sale. So don't be a rear-end-in-a-top-hat and press BUY 45 times, then complain that you bought GR 45 times.
  16. Those are some cool ideas. I'd still like to see more endgame-purchase stuff to burn my dough on, but I'm concerned that it would be seen as a stick to people who don't play...rather than a carrot to those who do.

    IE, 250M inf. to unlock...
    500M inf. to unlock...

    Hrm.
  17. My compy doesn't like Cimerora, so I don't go there.

    Elegant solution, neh?
  18. While the OP is correct in his/her research, I'm more of the opinion that the Alpha/Omega stuff just refers to "ultimate" costume options. Because it sounds important.

    In any case, we should have pre-order by the end of the month, so they'll be marketing it to us soon and we'll have a good idea of what they look like/are.

    What's going on with it? Absolutely nothing.

    It would seem that they wanted it to do too many things at once.
  20. Is he appropriately yelling "MARS MARS MAAAAAAARS!!" ?

    Yes. That was kind of scary.

    Also, I support holy-crap-epic items for sale. Not only does I want teh shinies, it'd be a much easier way to store inf.
  22. So you're the one responsible for inflation in this game!?!?
