    I paid more for Complete Edition GR than I did for Collector's Edition CoV. Then again, I got CE CoV at Half Price Books.

    But then, that's what I call most of my teammates, so I guess that's not a distinction.

    Servers Down?

    There shouldn't be server maintenance on a Sunday. I just logged on, but it's been over half an hour since you posted...

    Lieutenant escapees have 100% repel resistance. FB will stop the minions, though.

    My MM's henchmen are sitting at 47.28% def with just Shadowfall and Maneuvers (and T3 Nerve Radial). <3 Enforcers

    (The sad thing is, my MM herself is running between 10.47% and 19.25%, depending on which defense vector you're looking at.)

    And *whooosh* goes the joke.

    Programming languages don't exist in a vacuum. Someone writes a program to compile your C program into machine code, and then usually a third program allows you to execute it. (Alternatively, a computer is simply instructed to start at the beginning of your program, rather than a third program doing the same.)

    Machine code don't exist in a vacuum. Someone built the processor to understand your opcode instructions, added registers to store an manipulate temporary data, etc.

  11. Recommend you point out Mids' bugs in the Mids' forum. While Mids' developers do check out the official forums, the Mids' forum is there for a reason

    And you run into the latter three multiple times. In the last mission you get all three at once

    Also, when Mastermind pets bug out on zoning and stop following you (which happens to me almost every time I enter a Lambda trial ), /petcomall dismiss doesn't work; it clears your pet window, but the pets don't actually go away, and you can't summon new pets until you release the old ones.

    While I'm not surprised, it's a fair question. The last time servers were added to the game was launch day*. Supergroups were added Issue 6. While people may have desired moving characters and been dismayed a the lack of moving SGs, there's never been a *new* server to move to, especially not one that's different in any way from the others (ie, restricted to VIP-only).

    * I suppose you could count the EU launch as new servers, but that was also before I6 and was much more separate from the 11 US servers than the VIP server.

    Yeah, Speed Boost keeps you out of Caltrops now not because of the +Spd, but because of the +100% Res(Spd).

    As a "low level trial", there's no way it can consistently rely on either of those, as characters at that level won't be developed enough.

Except whenever a major change comes through the pipeline, he has to restart the entire thing to keep it fair (ie, restart ALL of the characters on ALL of the servers back at level 1). Steelclaw is insane.

    Regardless of my feelings on the F2P model, I think all players deserve equal GM support =/
  22. All of this is from memory, so may be faulty:

    Vahzilok, higher-level 5th Column/Council and lower-level Devouring Earth drop Mutant/Science DOs
    Tsoo, lower-level 5th Column/Council and higher-level Devouring Earth drop Mutant/Magic DOs
    Higher-level 5th Column/Council drop Mutant SOs


    Edit: I'm assuming (almost) all members of the above groups follow the enhancements they drop, so if you want to use named characters that would be a guide.
  23. Is it really such a problem that Moffat established that Jack the Ripper is dead? The only avenue that closes is someone else killing him off.

    Silurian. Go back and watch The Hungry Earth two-parter from last season.

    The Silurian said Jack was done, gone, kaput, dealt with. Presumably by her blade. She didn't claim to be Jack.

    If he didn't wait all that time, then he's not 'The Last Centurion' and has no in-character reason to be a badass.

    If he *was* plastic and then turned human again when the Doctor rebooted the universe, I want to know how he still has any memories from before.

    If the answer to *that* is that Amy has the power to warp reality to partially conform to her memories, then I need that superpower addressed (and removed!) in the show.
    Amy doesn't have the power to warp reality. The current universe was simply constructed in part based on her memories.

    Rory can *sometimes* remember his 2000 years as the Last Centurion, due to being a time traveler, being at the end of the previous universe, and the whole universe-modified-by-Amy thing. Remember, once Amy called out the Doctor for being late to the wedding, Rory remembered him too. Amy, River, and the Doctor all remember the previous universe, why wouldn't Rory?

    There is no Forum Cartel. It is not cunningly concealed among the apparently carefree City of Heroes players of the forum, its trolls and lurkers. No one would suggest that its members have a political agenda within and beyond the game. Nor would anyone believe, should it be whispered, that the Forum Cartel collects vast sums of inf and favors in order to further the goals that it doesn’t have. Moreover, an organization that does not exist certainly cannot have the prestige or talent pool to develop its own subtle, social martial arts style.

    Conversation Judo does not combine common, everyday movements with potent manipulations of puns and facts in a devastating and nearly invisible manner. It isn’t one of the Forum Cartel’s many sources of secret power. It never sees use in the discussion, arguments and flame wars of the players. People do not die from it, occasionally silently and occasionally screaming, days or weeks after not encountering it.
