Yup... they "ran out" of an intangible item, which is to say they sold as many as they could afford, and shut down the deal prior to the previously established end date.

If I had a Lifetime sub to CO, I would have been playing it and therefore not had the time for Isos. Since I didn't make it in time, it's On like Donkey Kong.

It's like this, GP: some people are addicted to ITFs. They can't help themselves. They deserve our help, not our scorn. We must reach out to these unfortunate individuals and help them say NO to thrice-nightly ITF runs.

Oh, there will be a List™... have no worries about that!

As far as weekly threads go, we voted on it and One Big Thread™ won out. We can do a revote if you want. Since it's unclear whether Voo will be joining us, maybe the OBT option won't get as much support.

Yeah, two or three weeks sounds about right.

This. The devs disallowed this combination because of Extreme Clipping, I believe. It's a bit much to ask for them to allow it because you were able to preserve the look by never changing your costume.

You... don't like Olde English '800'?

NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooo

And thus a new generation of Cheaters are born. Voodoo still beat you guys to 50, but if you beat Flux then the torch is passed.

A moment of silence while I pour out a 40 oh zee for my dead cheater homies.

Well, I figured the Universal Slots would be immune to the ED cap, but again, this is all baseless speculation... which I excel at.

You don't really need more levels if they give us some way to become more powerful at lvl 50. There are rumors of 10 "Universal Enhancement" slots you can earn that you can add to any power (giving you 7 slots, for example). Finally, the shame of ED can be removed!

That's the rumor, anyway.

Each power has Ranks that you have to take in order, but then there are buffs on the side, but each power has their own set. For example, I chose a perk for my Two-gun Mojo power that lets me do more damage the closer I am to the target. For the Might (Super strength) endurance-builder there was a perk to do more damage to stunned enemies, etc. You get the idea.

No classes to speak of, but some sets really lend themselves to support while others are strictly DPS/Self-Defense. Gadgeteer, Force, Sorcery, are some supports sets while Munitions, Might, Martial Arts, Single Sword, Dual Sword would be more straightforward.

Highly unlikely... but there are rumors that it will have something productive for 50s to do!

New stuff... 5 total zones. The Millennium City Zone is supposed to be huge, but still...

Right now, CoX is definitely the better game. CO has the novelty going for it, and some really cool travel powers, but that's about it... I think I16 will probably do power customization better as well, which is sad.

I'm on the fence about going Lifetime with the game currently, but I'm playing the Open Beta as much as possible to see if I can play it over the long haul.

I agree, GP. I think you will get XP appropriate to your level, meaning: If you're a lvl 40 exemped down to 20, and you defeat a lvl 21 mob, you will get the same XP you would as if you defeated a lvl 41 un-exemped. If they don't do this, it will discourage people from teaming with characters lower than your own.

D'oh!

Since possession of alien weaponry is illegal, actually using the suit would have brought down the wrath of the MNU as well as other military forces. We saw that despite the advanced technology of the suit, it is not invulnerable to conventional weaponry.

Better to give the weapon to someone you know can't use it, but will give you large quantities of narcotics in exchange.
