  1. I would recommend also doing Scirocco's second arc. It won't effect your pool choices, but it is one of the best (imo) written arcs in the game.
  2. Tankers have an extra inherent that isn't listed as a seperate power. All the first rank attacks (that the tank MUST take as their level 1 secondary) now have an effect called Bruise that applies a 20% resistance debuff to the target. Kheldians are the only ones that don't get anything at all when soloing.

    Why would you want to anyway? You could buy the entire Doctored Wounds set on the market for less than you could sell a LotG 7.5 that you can buy for 2 A-merits.
  4. Here is a quote from Raymond Chandler to the editor of The Atlantic Monthly regarding changes made to his grammar:

    "By the way, would you convey my compliments to the purist who reads your proofs and tell him or her that I write in a sort of broken-down patois which is something like the way a Swiss-waiter talks, and that when I split an infinitive, God damn it, I split it so it will remain split, and when I interrupt the velvety smoothness of my more or less literate syntax with a few sudden words of barroom vernacular, this is done with the eyes wide open and the mind relaxed and attentive. The method may not be perfect, but it is all I have."


    Perhaps the best known split infinitive is from the opening credits of Star Trek. "To boldly go where no man has gone before" should, according to outdated rules, be "to go boldly where no man has gone before." The first version definitely appeals more to me.

    Agreed. More complex faces is a good idea in principle, but the ones that came with the steampunk pack are creepy.
  6. You should definitely edit your post to remove your friend's user name. And, as others have said, a response in this thread from the company is very unlikely.
  7. Things it could contain (besides the obvious hat, boot, and gun variations):

    Serapes (aka ponchos) with several styles

    Chaps

    Mule non-combat pet (well, probably not)

    Dusters

    Salloon-Girl dresses and hairstyles

    Cigarillos

    Union and Confederate Uniforms

    A western 'Robber Baron' style outfit
  8. Great contest idea. Sadly, all my base designs end up looking like convenience stores.

    Hmmmm.....something about the way that's worded seems more like Neuron than Synapse. Praetorians are infiltrating the dev team!

    Villain side... does anyone else have the timer of the last mission start ticking town before the cut scene starts? Happens to me every time and it is complete impossible for me to get out in what remains when the cut scene ends. They may as well just do away with the timer for me and kill me when the cut scene ends. Maybe it would be a little less frustrating.
    I have tried it (unintentionally because I didn't think to adjust my settings) with both +3 level mobs and increased spawn size. It definitely DOES take your difficulty settings into account.
  11. I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that real money transfers come with too high a price. I want to look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this...

    It would've been even better if it was a /devices blaster with attacks 6 slotted for damage since Targetting drone meant you didn't need accuracy.
  13. I've soloed it on a wide variety of characters, including a level 10 (a dominator if it matters.) The only one that had any real problems was a peacebringer, because void mobs will show up and be painful.
  14. I don't think you're going far enough. Sure, getting rid of the sounds is a start. But what about all those annoying graphics? I had assumed Freedom meant the game was becoming a text-only MUD.
  15. How about an option that would allow VIP/Premium players a tag to receive/not receive tells from freebies? Then people wanting to run groups for the frees could receive tells from them and those who don't want to hear from them (because of spam or whatever) could keep them silent.

    I'm pretty sure I spent over an hour on them. I'm more of a stubborn rat than a smart one.

    Same thing with me.
  18. /em bangs head on desk repeatedly thinking about #3.
  19. This could have passed for a genuine rant IF you'd left out the part about working for that game company.
  20. The following disclaimers should be included in the new guidelines:


    Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly, and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Happy Fun Forum.

    Caution: Happy Fun Forum may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds.

    Happy Fun Forum contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at.

    Do not use Happy Fun Forum on concrete.

    Discontinue use of Happy Fun Forum if any of the following occurs:

    itching
    vertigo
    dizziness
    tingling in extremities
    loss of balance or coordination
    slurred speech
    temporary blindness
    profuse sweating
    or heart palpitations.

    If Happy Fun Forum begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head.

    Happy Fun Forum may stick to certain types of skin.

    When not in use, Happy Fun Forum should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration. Failure to do so relieves the makers of Happy Fun Forum, Wacky Products Incorporated, and its parent company, Global Chemical Unlimited, of any and all liability.

    Ingredients of Happy Fun Forum include an unknown glowing green substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space.

    Do not taunt Happy Fun Forum.

    Knockback will be buffed on Tuesday. Indeed, all powers that didn't do knockback before, now do. This will be keeping with the theme of comic book style play, and will enhance the F2P player's perception of the game.
    Specifically Burn will now have a magnitude 15 knockback.

    If they changed it from knockback to knockdown it would be great. But a ranged hefty knockback on a melee set is just......eh.
  23. Here's an additional question: Does the once a week table become available again seven days after completion or is there a weekly reset time (as with the Weekly Strike Targets)?

Hell you feel lucky to keep your hourly rate.. But now their changing your insurance coverage...

    Yeah that is actually pretty much how I feel But the sad thing is is that this company wasn't bought out their just taking away my pension and screwing with my life insurance.
    That is a really poor analogy. The real situation is more like this: You worked for a company for several years and they paid you along with a pretty good benefits package. Then one day you called in and said "I'm not coming in to work anymore."

    Surprisingly they respond by saying "Well, we hate to lose you. So we'll keep on paying you but have to cut out the benefits package. Anytime you want to come back to work you can get the benefits again."

    Your response to this is "What???? I've worked for you for years and now you're cutting my benefits just cause I don't do any work!"
