City of Data. For example, when you first encounter him, Romulus Augustus has the powerset Romulus Base. In the final mission of the ITF, he has the powerset Romulus Nictus.

CoD isn't always updated quickly, though. I don't believe it has Reichsman's powers anywhere.

You're not watching the right anime.

Yes (assuming the enhancements give 50% or more to damage, of course )

It's the first instance of the same style of black pajama-wearing ninjas we see today, it became a popular trope in Japanese plays involving ninja, and the image has remained fairly constant for decades. I don't see how you can so flippantly dismiss it as the source for the black-pajama-ninja stereotype.

No, it's not. Enhancements contribute towards the buff cap.

And there is no European server called Freedom, either. The EU servers are:

• Defiant (English)
• Union (English)
• Vigilance (French)
• Zukunft (German)

More specifically, we are H omo sapiens sapiens, just like the Western Lowland Gorilla is Gorilla gorilla gorilla.

Actually, the source of the black-clad ninja we normally associate with ninjas today is the fault of the old-school Japanese plays.

The stage hands (the people that moved the props around and put the set together) normally dressed in all-black pajamas (what you think of when you think "ninja"), and were generally on-stage even in the middle of the performance. The audience was supposed to just ignore them as if they weren't there.

Then someone got creative and had the actor of the assassin pretend to be a stage hand until it was time for the assassination. Suddenly, one of the people you're supposed to be ignoring is an actual character, and is stabbing the emperor with a knife.

The booster packs (in fact, IIRC, anything you buy from the online store) don't give you a serial number on the webpage, but you do get an email titles "Serial Code Applied" which as the serial in the body of the email.

Or even any planet with a yellow sun.

It does. Just like you have a random chance to get a "Trick" (enemies) or "Treat" (insp/costume temp power) from Trick or Treating on Halloween, the Winter event has a random chance to give you "Naughty" (enemies) or "Nice" (insp/temp power/candy cane salvage) from the Gamester's presents scattered around the various zones.

In addition to the presents and mission from Father Time, the Winter event opens up the Ski Slopes in Pocket D.

*facepalm*

That's EXACTLY WHAT I SAID in response to the first suggestion for weapon auras. They can and have created weapons whose auras are a part of the weapon. There are several such weapons available to players already.

What they can't do is create weapon auras in the same manner that we have auras to place on our body - separate objects put on attachment points. This does not work for the weapons.

Which was my #2 point in my list of reasons WoW is popular. Warcraft was Blizzard's most popular series. Of course the Warcraft fans were going to try another Warcraft game, even if it wasn't an RTS.

This is the same train of thought that caused people to purchase Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.

While I wouldn't call it Science, there's always Batman: the Crimson Mist:

There is one ("Warrior"), but it uses the most plain and boring of the new parts

I'm not a WoW player, but that's not what I've heard about their PvP.

On the other hand, WoW (and several other MMOs besides) have a larger variety of PvP modes to make it more interesting than simply "kill the other guys".

Yes. It also includes the 100% you start with.

Yes, the recharge cap includes your recharge slotting. However, unlike damage, you start at 0%, not at 100% (assuming you use the "1 / 1 + Rech%" equation for recharge; the "1 + " is effectively your base 100%)

1. "Natural" is not "The single most broad origin".
2. Niv already confirmed Martial Arts is the Natural booster, so you'd best accept it. Your only hope at this point is that they'll start another round of origin-themed boosters after the mutant booster arrives.
