Speaking from personal experience, I've gotten 10 threads twice, and common salvage once. Now that I've unlocked my Hybrid, I'm not really encouraged to do this trial much more until this is fixed.

Any word on if this is working as intended? Because I KNOW I contributed a whole hell of a lot, and getting 10 threads twice in one night really made me angry.

"I can see from this post's missing punctuation that the poster is likely not yet graduated from high school. Further, his demands indicate a lack of common knowledge suggesting midwestern upbringing! Hit Streak, the game is afoot! Fetch my pipe!"

Better tell the animation team to cancel their work on the "Kicked in the nuts" emote...

Just a note on this.

Probably my favorite scene in recent comics history is actually a parallel of this.

Thor's fighting in a major city, gets his *** knocked across three city blocks and crashes down next to an ambulance, dropping his hammer. One of the paramedics helps Thor back to his feet, the other one picks up the hammer and hands it back to Thor without a second thought. Thor rushes to get back in the fight, only to pause for half a moment and stare back at the paramedic who handed him the hammer.

It doesn't need to be some giant "Now I'm Thor!" thing to be a big deal. The better moments are downplaying the importance of something until someone actually realizes what just happened.

In this case? I'd rather adhere to the rule of cool rather than the rule of canon.

95% sure that it's the pet.

Ah, but they're only a best seller right now. The question is whether or not the Super Packs KEEP selling or not.

If sales start to peter off, there are going to be significantly less of these entering the market in the long term. In that case, I would expect to see prices for these skyrocket in as short as three weeks' time.

If Super Packs keep selling? The prices will remain constant, or dare I say, even drop a bit.

Some of the sets are being sorely undervalued. I picked up a full set of the Kheldian ATOs for about 60 million last night, and I suspect I'll be picking up a full set of the controller one for barely 100.

Meanwhile, the scrapper and brute sets look as though they'll be the major cash cow sets of this release, with Blasters and Corruptors coming in a close second.

Any chance we can get this video on Youtube, for those of us who refuse to sell our soul to facebook?

Someone asks about Sashes every costume panel.

Same with moving tails, before they were introduced.

Hell, at Herocon 2009, I made sure to get in line and ask about both at once, complete with a "Go ahead and get your bottle, I'm about to make you win the drinking game" joke.

First time I've ever done this on these boards...

I take offense at this statement. This is how an abundance of POOR heroic fiction works.

Stargate, specifically the Ori Storyline of the last season on the Air: I stopped watching because it was plainly clear that one miserable MacGuffin would make the difference between being able to stop this all powerful force, and utter defeat. Worse yet, even when everyone knew where and what it was, the series was still dragged out for half a season to get us there, for no other reason than to kick everyone around.

Star Trek, specifically the Dominion War: AGAIN, the only apparent way to win was... a disease, I think? Yes, I know there was more going on in the end, but the last two seasons were so poorly written that a lot of fans were turned off of DS9 by them, to say nothing of that ending. And we just won't go into later series...

Star Wars: Uh... what? What improbable plot device? Even in the new, horrid trilogy, the war was completely independent of much of what was going on with the main characters, short of "Order 66" which would have been caught had anyone bothered to READ SOME DOCUMENTATION ON THE CLONING. (Grossly oversimplified, but really, if we get into a Star Wars debate, we've all already lost.)

Independence Day: The problem was solved by a human's primitive computer virus obliterating an entire alien fleet's security. Does anyone, at all, EVER believe this was a good thing for this movie? I honestly believe that the only reason it was in there was because without it, the writers had no way to let humanity survive. Which, you know, was KINDA THE POINT. They had a brilliant opportunity with Area 51, a means of researching the aliens (Which they had been doing since ROSWELL, don't forget), and giving us a way to fight back at the eleventh hour. And what do they do with it? They give the heroes a Taxi to the mother ship.

The good stories are the ones that are hard fought and believable, even if it requires a little suspension of disbelief. The good stories are the ones where the heroes give as good as they get, where they've got victories where they hit the ENEMY just as badly as the enemy's hit them.

Maybe there's a wide array of fiction that requires the use of a MacGuffin to get anything done. That doesn't make it good. More often than not that makes it cheap, uninteresting, and a blatant example of padding out a series and stringing along viewers. And if that's the inspiration that you hope that CoH draws from, I don't want to play the game that you want to play.

Fair enough.

That being said... are you honestly telling us that we might get what we've asked for in time? It's been a long, long time since the magic pack came out, and there's still no baron jacket for females.

How long will we have to wait for a decent Gunslinger outfit for females? Will we have to pay for it separately?

The more I look at it, the less I want to buy the Gunslinger pack. I might buy individual pieces of it, but there's just so little that I actually WANT in this pack that should have been there.

In the vernacular...
