The only time that I get annoyed at missing something is on power that imminate from the eyes.
How could I miss him? I was looking right at him when my EYE BEAMS FIRED. -

- And Preh-TAWR-ee-uh is from lazy English speakers who smooth over all unaccented vowels sounds to gutteral grunts. This make it awkward though, when they have to pronounce 'Praetor'... do they say 'PREH-tor' or 'PRUH-tor'? This pronunciation is definitely incorrect and should never be used. Use one of the first three pronunciations listed.
Thanks ZM! -

I vow to never say "the next level" again. (Not really, because now that I've said I'll never say it, I'll be tripping over it incessantly.)
I'm switching it up to "raising the bar." Other options are "upping our game", "bringin' it old school", and "kick **** and take names".
After that, my catch-phrase is up for grabs.

Oh, and cool video. -

When out of SG mode, you earn 0 prestige.

It made me nostalgic for the show.
Have no idea about the game. -
Yes, beta testing has started. Since many 60+ vets/loyalty program/GR pre-purchasers are still not in beta, it can be assumed that it is in the relatively early stages. There is, after all, 8 weeks before the scheduled release.

If you pushed me to make an iron clad prediction, I would say that there will be a massive jump in the high end stuff (the current "end game" with purples and level 50 IOs and level 50 salvage) because there are so many villains that have had to go without for so long thanks to production problems, which will drain a lot of cash off the Redside (yeah, that's a disadvantage to the Reds, really, since it murders the Red-only's buying power).
On the other hand, there will be a lot of new characters made, because of the new power sets.
It will be interesting to see how folks divide their time. -

"Keeping the markets divided would require significant on-going development support, and we needed to take this into consideration"
Don't fool yourselves. THIS is the real reason that they're letting the markets merge.

The Bubbles as a defensive set idea has been around, and was included with the powerset poll that included Dual Blades, Willpower and Electric Hammer.
I voted for the Bubbles and the Hammer. -

Y'know how every 'answer' on LOST always led to 10 more questions? Adding new stuff's exactly like that.
Of course, the worst case scenario is the playerbase coming back with "That looks great. OK, we don't need anything else, thanks", ammiright? -
Quote:The thing is, most of those things are already in the game. I think folks, knowing that this was a $10 add-on, was expecting more exotic things.Originally Posted by Endlessly
Hmmm... Maybe I'm just not too familiar with most mutant characters in fiction. Most I think of have mutations like metal claws, laser eyes, metal skin. Generally the less 'human' looking mutants tend to have different colored skin or something exotic not in the way of animal heads.

Of course, you know what that means... where's the organic bludgeoning weapons, the organic ranged weapons, the organic claws, the organic bow...

Subjective Good: Both costume sets are fantastic. Only nit I have with them is that I wish there was a little more "human" version of the Bioluminescent face.
Subjective Bad: Yeah, gotta echo what mostly has been said in this thread. Nothing wrong with these costume sets, but I think you badly missed on what the expectation was for this booster pack: more monsterous options, more tails, more weapons customization with a bio-weapon look to them. -

Quote:Yeah, I know the lore about the Valenzetti Equation. Since it was never brought up on the show, I'm ignoring it, or at least mentally back-burnering it.Originally Posted by _Echoo_
Since you're asking seriously... they're variables in a mathematical formula designed to predict the end of humanity. Seriously:
I've been reading lots of Lostpedia since the show ended.
Though how that ties into Jacob, the Lighthouse and the candidates is another question entirely.
But since you brought it up, let's take it at face value. Now the questions are:
1. Are the numbers the variables in the equation because Jacob used those numbers for Jack, Sayid, Locke, Hugo, and Sun/Jin and those were the most likely of the Candidates to save the world?
2. Did Jacob assume that those 6 were the most likely of the Candidates, and assigned them those numbers because of the Equation?
3. Something else?
My guess is something like: 4. The writers had the Valenzetti Equation in their back pocket and realized that it was a "Midichlorian" thing, so instead of coming up with a better explaination, they changed Hugo's central mystery away from the numbers to the "I see dead people" deal and explained it away with a throwaway line in Season 6. -
Quote:Right, it apparently was a psychological experiment on the Pearl people rather than the Swan people. But I guess my question is... why did Dharma make it so hard for the Swan inhabitants to succeed? Why leave them in isolation for so long?Originally Posted by BafflingBeerMan
The Pearl was the psychological experiment.
Two reasons: one, Sawyer, Jack, Kate and Michael saw the tube where the journals were placed led nowhere, dumping the observations of the Pearlites in the middle of the jungle.
Also, the TV screens viewed stations other than the Swan. The Flame (and Patchy), for example.
Ah, good point.Quote:Originally Posted by BafflingBeerMan
I think it was pretty much implied in Desmond's flashbacks pre-"Flashes Before Your Eyes" that he didn't exhibit any special powers pre-Island. Safe to say the explosion did it.
Yeah, I saw that mobisode. I took that as that Walt was having a psychic reaction to what he was seeing in Room 23 and it caused birds to fly into the building. I dunno, just seems like the Others went to a lot of trouble to get Walt, he turned out to be more special than any of them could have imagined, and then they let him go. I guess maybe Walt was just too much of a wild card to have on the Island under anyone's control.Quote:Originally Posted by BafflingBeerMan
As per the mobisode (webisode) Room 23, The Others were scared of Walt due to his power to attract birds. -
Jacob and Smokey Questions
1. How does Jacob keep the MIB from killing Candidates?
2. Why did he keep his list on the cave wall?
3. How did he appear off-Island?
4. Does he just need to touch someone to grant them immortality, or does he need intent?
5. How much interaction did he have with Richard? How much did he have to do with how The Others went about their business?
6. How did he invest Dogun with the power to keep the MIB out of The Temple as long as he was alive?
7. The healing pool in The Temple -- how does it work, why did it get cloudy after Jacob's death, and how did it recover Sayid anyway?
8. How does the MIB "claim" someone? Do they have to die first (like Sayid)? How much power does he hold over them? Is it really just a mind trick that someone can just shake off, or does it really alter their moral compass?
Plot Points
1. Did Jacob order the Purge? If so, why?
2. Why and how did Eloise Hawking leave the Island? Was Daniel born on the Island, or off? How did she meet Desmond in the past as he was jumping through time?
3. How much did Dharma know about the past of the Island? Why did the build the Swan timer to flip to Egyptian symbols if the button wasn't pushed?
4. What was the nature of The Pearl? Was it really a psychological experiment on the Swan inhabitants? If pushing the button was as important as it was, why did Dharma screw around with it so much?
5. Why did Pierre Chang use assumed names (Marvin Candle, etc.) when making the orientation films?
6. Seriously... what's the deal with The Numbers? Is it really as simple as "Jacob likes numbers"?
7. How did Ben know so much, and so little, about the Island.
8. Who or what was in "Jacob's Cabin"? Was the ash circle designed to keep Smokey out or in?
9. How did the off-Island branch of The Others (The Other Others?) come about -- that is, Illana's group?
10. Why were The Others so ******-baggy towards the crash survivors anyway?
11. What was Charles Widmore's motivations? In... well, anything he did?
12. Was Desmond born with electromagnetic resistance, or was it a side-effect of his exposure to it after the Swan hatch implosion?
13. Why were Desmond's visions so Charlie-centric?
14. What was Walt's special gift, why did the Others want him, and why did they give him up so easily?
15. Did "Henry Gale" mistakenly fall into Rousseau's trap, or did he intentionally do it to get Jack, Kate, and Sawyer to fall into the eventual trap?
16. At what point did MIB decide that Locke would be the mechanism he'd use to con Ben into killing Jacob for him? How much of Locke's actions were orchestrated by the MIB?
17. When Locke first encounters the Smoke Monster, he described it to Jack as "a beautiful light". Say what?
18. Could Jacob really see the future, or was he just really, really, really, really good at figuring out probabilities? (see: Others building the runway on Hydra Island in 2004 for the Aljera crash/landing in 2007.)
