Fleeting Whisper

From the Paragonwiki page, in case people are too lazy to follow the provided links (not a direct copy-paste, though):

• Praetorian Lord Recluse: Dead
• Praetorian Ghost Widow: Alive (not a ghost), part of the Resistance
• Praetorian Calvin Scott (Aurora Borealis' husband): Head of the Resistance
• Praetorian Aurora Borealis: Posessed by Mother Mayhem (Praetorian Sister Psyche)
• Praetorian Nemesis: Died of old age in Prussia, decades ago, a happy old man
• Praetorian Hamidon: Unknown status. Released the Devouring Earth much earlier in Praetoria than in Primal Earth, and as such the DE have a much larger foothold in that dimension (this is also the reason why Cole is emperor)
• Praetorian Invisible Falcon (aka Ghost Falcon): Living in our version of Peregrine Island
• Praetorian Carnival of Shadows: Heroes known as the Carnival of Light

Multiple accounts does not make subscription numbers misleading in the slightest.

While it is a reason, I seriously doubt that it is the chief reason for someone to have multiple accounts.

There have been a number of improvements to the leveling speed, such that getting to 50 doesn't take all that long, even without PLing. I recall on a Double XP weekend I took a new character from 1 to 50 in just 3 days by simply playing on teams. No PLing required. Then there's people with a newfangled thing called "patience" who don't care how long it takes to reach 50. They may only play a couple hours a week, but they don't mind how many months it takes them to reach 50 on a new character.

Considering the number of arguments over PLing I've witnessed, I would say your conclusion is inaccurate. The fault lies on both sides of the fence. On one side is people against PLing, who try to convince the PLers to stop. On the other side is people in favor of PLing, who try to convince the developers to make changes that make PLing easier and more attractive. While you don't generally see the PLer crowd saying "you should play the game my way!", what you generally do see is, in my opinion, worse: "the game should change so that my way is even better!"

So if trying to convince you to change playstyle is disrespectful and "really freakin' pathetic", what is complaining about it on an internet forum, if not "even more pathetic"?

Remember, kids, it's all pretendy fun time games

Hi, welcome to The Internet. You must be new. Let me show you around...

When I wrote that there is no efficient solution, that was in reference to the TSP (which I compared to your suggestion, so I can easily understand the confusion). Also, there's a big difference between "easy" and "efficient".

Bubble Sort is easy to write, but inefficient. Quick Sort is much harder to write than Bubble Sort, but also much more efficient

Or it could mean they're adding global enhancement slots, which would just increase demand

Besides, the majority of RMT comes from Chinese IP addresses.

I agree that anything Christmas-related should be banned until Black Friday (with possible exception to "Christmas In July" celebrations). However, once it gets this close to Christmas, I don't mind one bit

What's wrong with this one? The nature of difficulty setting has changed, but you still change them with the Hero Corps or Fateweaver.

This is still true, though with the new difficulty settings it's not the only way to increase spawn size.

The reason it's the same is because the Hero Gear Kit IS CoH CE. Specifically, the leftover ones. And NCSoft has been out of Hero Gear Kits for some time now.

I don't have anything resembling a formal proof. My post was based entirely on intuition coming from my experience in programming and in optimizing various builds while still being playable.

In order to give you a proof, I'd have to actually spend time working on the problem. At the moment, I'm more concerned with getting the garbage collector for my Programming Languages class working properly, completing my exams for this semester, working on my Advanced Game Programming project, working on Cross-Platform Mids', getting together (and spending time) with my family for the holidays, and dealing with the aftermath of my opa's funeral. Proving the complexity classification for a CoH build optimizer algorithm is rather low on my list of priorities, so I wrote about my gut reaction in the hope that it might help you find the answer you're looking for.

I definitely agree here; PBAoE knockback is the most problematic.

Targeted AoE and Cone KB powers exhibit the exact same behavior, FYI. The only difference is which critters get hit.

Naked Psi Melee! Brilliant!

Maybe an updated map?

Team Teleport

Does it come in badge format?

You should be burned at the stake for that pun

If the Blaster killed the target, it doesn't matter whether the attack had KB or not, the effect would be the same (unless you're a Warshade and the KB knocked the corpse out of range for one of your corpse-targeting abilities, which is a pretty far edge case). If the Blaster prevented you from using your queued Headsplitter because he killed the target, then you should be thanking him, because now you're not wasting your Headsplitter and waiting for it to recharge, but instead you have the chance to use it on another unsuspecting vict-- target.
