  1. Black Pebble comes to your house and leaves something smelly in your mailbox.

    He's not doing anything else, anyways.

  3. At least you can roll a sword AT and craft a gun temp power. Pretty kludgy, but for those of us who want to craft a sword temp power, we're SoL.

    That original thread accomplished absolutely nothing in a YEAR; by that measure it was a pointless waste of time. It's still completely inexcusable for something this blatantly broken to be totally ignored for all this time. It never happened that I recall on the old forums and didn't happen on these until last year... obviously they broke something and can't be bothered to fix it.
    Oh hey, your special thread over here fixed the forums? Awesome.

    Well said. And in that case, perhaps they're more important than we give them credit for. Hrm.

    Now my question is, why can't they proliferate that AWESOMELY BADAZZ "I have a gun AND a sword" powerset!!!??? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! That was just hands down so full of win that it's not even legal. Soooooooo perfect for Blasters!!!

    As they say in intarwebsland WANT NAO!!
    I'll have you know, I saw the Rikti mothership descend on Atlas. I have been playing this game for a while.

    It was me. I did it. I have no regrets, and you should probably check on the "Security Chiefs" in all the other zones, too. Next up, Merit Stores. It's going to be a crime...of fashion.


    YEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Oh no, I understand what you're saying. From within the dynamics of the RP/the game I don't care if your angels are tech origin. Which, by the way, sounds awesome. I was speaking from an external perspective. For me, anything in this game with "spooky supernatural powers" qualifies as magic.
  9. Please, can we keep this in the original thread? It's going to be hard celebrating two birthdays a year.

    Definitely "magic."
  11. I think my stance on the ski slope badges (yes, all six of them) being some of the dumbest badges ever implemented speaks for itself.

    You are making a huge assumption here. And not on the time investment part.

    No, it will be fixed like base raids.

    Despite the fact that the AT never came to fruition, there are still plenty of references to the Blood of the Blackstream in the game, even today.

    This suggests VIPs will get pacting back eventually, and launch is less than 30 days away.
    That's exactly what I'm getting at. Is there a reason no one paid any attention to this?

    Perhaps, I'm guessing, Level Pact'ing will need to be recoded as a Premium/VIP feature?
    You know, like it should have been all along? Or at least, modified?

    It just smacks of, "Whoops, forgot about that. Well, we really want this to go Live soon, so we'll just disable this until we get around to fixing it."

    But I don't want to respec anything.

    FWIW, I think we understand each other and are just using different words.

    No, I do not think this will ever happen.

    I'm not asking to respec powers or AT. I'm asking to have multiple options on a single character. As for the expense, beyond leveling a new character up, I would happily pay extra/sacrifice character slots in the name of accounting for your "defeats the purpose of making people buy character slots..."
  19. I'd support something like this, so long as it included the option of "starting from scratch" as well.

    IE, one of the alternate builds of my main character could be a BS/Shield Scrapper instead of Empathy/Dark Defender. I would happily level it up all over again. Heck, treat it as alternate builds are treated now--leave the Incarnate stuff stay the way it is, and have different powersets when you swap.

    Hey, cool, "Dragons Through Positive Thinking!"
  21. I have always supported this idea, and continue to do so.
