I'd love to get a Centurions style costume change, even if I have very few characters that'd use it. I used to watch that cartoon all the time as a kid, so cheesy, so blatantly a toy commercial, so awesome.

I take it you haven't seen a full size original Darth Vader costume? I have, Vader is huge.

He's still an 8-foot magical mechanical samurai who dresses in all black and kills people over the phone. Still scary, even if he was an emo teen.

It's times like this that I wish that I could slap someone with a wet trout across the internet. For crying out loud, Sony... BAD company! BAD! *troutslap*

On the plus side, if you haven't gotten that email, your password is still safe.

My problem with Norton has always been it's too much. It's overkill for my needs. Right now, Sony wants overkill. They do NOT want a repeat of this.

I was thinking of Star Fox, actually. Or Pilotwings. Some measure of autocorrection, but giving you something to do while flying a mile across a zone. Stunts and aerial tricks, basically. Descent-style is fun, but only really works when there's no up in the game. CoH2 would presumably have an up direction that the player character would default to when hovering.

On the other hand, I don't think I'll worry about sharing credit card details with the new PSN at all. Sony can't help but have learned from this the hard way. I mean, I can't imagine that they'd want to see something like this happen again any time soon.

As far as I can tell from the very sparse information Sony is giving, there is a security flaw inherent in the code for the PSN setup. So in other words, yes, the only way to secure it right now is to turn it off.

This also means that in order to restore PSN services to all the Playstation 3 users, they need to rebuild PSN from the bottom up. Something about hacked consoles would be able to log right back into the admin part of PSN if they just patched it up and turned it back on.

Fatal security flaw: Sony trusted the client. Yes, the PS3 was pretty resilient to hacking, but it wasn't invulnerable, and when it was broken, PSN was, too. THAT is where the Epic Fail comes in.

I hope it's back up soon. I should probably be annoyed, but I'm beginning to find it somewhat hilarious, and I'm one of those affected by it!

You can't. The window explicitly says that using any full screen interface, like tailor and respec, is not possible while waiting.

And if I was that impatient, I wouldn't be at 2 billion now. What I'm really selling is my patience, after all. I'm fine with creating a pile of IOs, then selling them off at a reasonable (or not) mark up. It takes about as long for me to craft 10 of a kind as it'll take for someone who's just completing a set to make one.

I've just begun poking at a couple of purples, see if there's Inf to be made there. My usual strategy at work: Post a criminally low, but plausible bid, then wait a few days. I can't see how that shouldn't work on purples.

Are we talking old My Little Pony or "Friendship is Magic" My Little Pony? Because I could go for the latter. And having James Earl Jones narrate for my character would be worth it.

Seriously, though, if you look at the kinds of power in the game, we're missing an armor toggle, a control power, a powerful single target attack, and a utility power like Stealth, Build Up, Boost Range and so on. Spread those out among the four, and do something nuts with Omega.

That outfit is a modified version of Rose's normal formalwear. Since that mission appeared in the RWZ with the peace conference, I've always made the fourth costume into formalwear of some kind. She doesn't normally wear the hat and monocle, but she's all red, white, and gold in all her costumes. The rest are more silver age heroic, though.

As for concept, it's easy. Influence can be many things, after all. Everyone knows that Aegis Rose has toiled night and day at the University to make wonderful magical trinkets for her fellow heroes to use. She's influential in the "magical Reed Richards" kind of way. See, it's easy to justify being a greedy marketeer in character?

I actually remember the moment that made me do a double take on the Market. I was just about to do my usual "dump everything on the market at a low price" thing with yet another Acc recipe, when I checked out on a whim what people were paying for the finished IO. Five times what they were paying for the recipe, easily covering the crafting costs. I then bought up the remaining recipes and put the finished IOs up for sale. That was my first half million of marketeering profit. Then I used Hero Merits to get some good stuff and, well, here I am.

As far as IO power goes, Rose has good allround Defenses. Nothing softcapped, since I also went for damage buffs. She's actually pretty powerful, especially now that she has Incarnate buffs. She'll never solo an AV, but anything less is fair game. Also on Lambda runs, Rose is right there in the thick of it with the melee types during the sabotage. It takes more than that to scare her.

Ah, I just assumed it was a typo and you meant set IOs, even then top 5% seems a bit low. Someone actually said that only 5% could afford SOs at level 50? I have no idea what to say about that, you get more than enough Inf just leveling to 50.

I'm the what now? Huh, never thought about that, I guess I am in the top 5%. I've just been focused on hitting the cap, not really thinking about what that means in the bigger picture.

To me, the important thing about this, though, is not so much that I actually have that much Inf on hand. That's nice and all, and made for a fun screenshot, but the real reward is knowing how to do so again. My Inf count might say 2 billion, but it's just a number. I can afford anything I want now, some of it will just take a little time and patience to gather up the extra Inf for.

I think that's the last step in the transformation to EBIL marketeer isn't it? The realization that what I have on hand is actually irrelevant. What matters is that I know how to make Inf off the market, with surprising ease now. I'm actually beginning to see how the firepit makes sense, but I'm still going to spend my Inf on IO builds and similar before I start burning it for fun.
