  1. Well, there's nothing about the ruins of Oroboros that suggest that Battalion invaded it. There are echos of beings touched by the well, but no Shivans.
  2. Reminds me of Birthright. One of my friends had Tastelink; the ability to make someone else taste what he was eating.
  3. With the size of their portions? Yes.
  4. I was eating dinner at the Tractor Room. They have an awesome venison meat loaf.

    All of them.
    The only one I've skipped so far is the Fire Helmet.

    For everything else, I've gotten them just about as soon as they hit the market, even if I don't have any immediate plans to use them.

    It's just something where the inability to come up with a costume to fit a character will prevent me from making the character, so I want all the options I can have.
  6. I figured crane kick would work.

    I just thought "kick into submission" was more lyrical than "beat into submission" or "blast into submission."

    Oh, please let it be the second. And give the guy the most exasperated look possible.

    That poster takes on a particularly dark tone if there's someone standing around waiting to kick you into submission.

    Edit: Wait, that's not an MA/SR scrapper, that's an Energy/Energy Blaster. Eh.

    Who else would it be? The Dream Doctor hasn't displayed a tendency to talk about himself in the third person, and Silos was the only other person at the meeting.

    It makes sense too, since he's got a lot of experience with time travel, I'd believe he's seen shades of possible futures.

    Well, given the last thing Silos says in that cutscene, it seems like the animosity doesn't go both ways between the two.
  11. So, I get my first scrapper to level 50 and I start the incarnate arc. I decide she's the type of character that would fight all the Arch-villains, and I'm going about this, and right at Ruladak the Strong, I suddenly realize: "Wait a moment; the Oroboros Platform has been crashed into the sea. That sounds familiar."
  12. Well, some of it picks up in the DD trial.

    Some of it, I suspect, other issues.

    However, I felt it was much more cleanly resolved than the First Ward arcs.

    Does this make your couple name "THASSY"?
    I vote Sore Assassin, but keep saying it Sore Athathin.


  14. If you're wondering, that's the classical steampunk glove option with shirts on huge.
  15. Mazel Tov to you and Sass, Norm.

    Sometimes when you skim a thread you miss an important post.

    If you want to edit your post, I'll edit mine.

    The moon gets larger every time they nerf accuracy.

    You can't. You can convert an ATO and then transfer the converted ATO into an Alt, but it requires respecing or enhancement unslotters.

    But you can't uniformly say that all people consider soldiers heroic, or should.

    Yes, there certainly are soldiers who are heroic and perform acts of heroism.

    There are also soldiers who turn machine guns on unarmed, naked people.

    Not any time. I remember at least once before this being disappointed that they weren't releasing a freespec with some changes.

    That's a hard argument. Would you expect a whig to praise "Those heroic Redcoats, fighting in the colonies, protecting England's best interests."

    I didn't get that feeling at all from the Dark Astoria arcs. Sure, the missions where I controlled an NPC were not about me, but it was content that would otherwise be handled by an amount of expository text. I'm not going to object to plot development.

    Not individual experiences, no. There was actually at one point a developer statement about when freespecs could be expected. It was made when one of the issues was launched without a freespec.

    The statement said essentially that freespecs are given when the changes to the game merit it, or as a special bonus to celebrate certain events, such as the winter event and the anniversary.

    This year, however, I don't think we got a freespec with the winter event.
