If it follows the same pattern as every other 2xXP weekend and pretty much every event since I joined three years ago, it will end with the server maintenance on Monday. That of course will vary based on where in the world you live.

When I want a barefoot character, I usually go with the Zombie feet. They aren't perfect, but they look 100 times better than the normal bare feet.

Thanks!

Of course they're not going to give the creator credit - that would probably cause too much concern about litigation.

And a prize of $500 for something that would take most people 15 minutes or less to think up? I'm pretty sure TV writers don't make $2000 an hour.

I agree with you from the standpoint that I too play, and love, this game because it is "easy." That said, if it becomes too easy, it becomes boring. I have alpha slotted one of my characters already, and even though it's only a single tier 2 boost, I have noticed a significant difference in how the character plays.

I can only imagine what the difference will be like with ten rare or ultra-rare boosts slotted. If it got to the point where playing pre-Incarnate lvl 50 content felt like hunting Hellions in Atlas Park with a lvl 50 blaster, then I would probably not want to play an Incarnate charater.

And I think (hope) that's what the Devs have in mind when they say "the most challenging content ever" - content that would crush your favorite lvl 50 character three months ago, but which will be fun to play with your ultra-powered Incarnate character.



As for all this gear-gated, whatever-gated talk... I don't know what that's all about, but isn't everything outside of Atlas Park/Galaxy City and Mercy Island "gated" to a certain extent? I can't run a Synapse Task Force with a lvl 1 controller, and I'd dare not go street sweeping in Nerva with my lvl 1 Mastermind.

So what if you have to run an arc and craft some very easy to obtain enhancements to increase your power sufficiently to run the new "End Game" content? What if they raised the level cap to 60 - would you complain that you actually had to play to get your character to 60?


Thanks for the update, Second Measure. I'm looking forward to many more. Thanks for the early notice about 2xXP weekend, and for scheduling it for the weekend between the NFL Conference Championships and the Superbowl. And thanks for "spilling the beans" as it were about attending PAXEast - I just bought my ticket, so all I need to know now is if there will be a M&G, and if so, which night.

Finally, my guess for the "under pressure" clue is an underwater zone as well.

Emphasis mine, but this reinforces my belief that we're getting animal parts and/or running on all fours.

ETA: MentalMaden beat me too it in the I19.5 thread.

The costume pieces you refer to are designated with the names "Sinister" and "Justice". There are various pieces for these two sets that appear under the selections for Chest, Legs, Gloves, and Boots, as well as patterns for these parts. Not sure if the sets include anything else.

Yes, Sting of the Manticore gives a 7.5% recharge bonus when 5-slotted, so you can use it more often, meaning more damage over time.

Or perhaps a craftable, permanent jet pack?


Animated hair!

Cool, that's me in front on the right.


Gratz on a well-run event, and a well-deserved #1 SG ranking, EE!

You're right, the show was actually watchable again. I have been watching Survivor religiously since the beginning of Season Two, and Russell and his interminable camera time actually made me give up the show about five episodes in last year. It wasn't until friends told me he'd been voted off that I started watching again.

As for quitters, if Probst, who is a producer, if not an executive producer, really hated them, they wouldn't have, and in my opinion shouldn't have, been on the jury.

Finally, regarding the casting process, it's my understanding that the producers look for pretty faces and/or hard bodies more so than good players, which always backfires because either the eye candy gets voted off right away, thus defeating the purpose of casting them in the first place, or worse, they stick around and you end up with a bunch of dopes like this season that don't understand the game and can't, or don't want to, play it.

Go back to using people who truely want to be on the show to win a million dollars and stop casting pretty boys and wannabe models who only want on the show to further their "Acting" careers.

I don't hate the Redemption Island idea as much as I hated the season where they just arbitrarily put two people who'd been voted off back in the game, but I'm not loving it either. I'll reserve final judgement until I see how it plays out though.

Sorry for the threadjack, but you guys started it.

His hand is inhabited by a teenage girl? That has to be one of the creepiest concepts I've ever heard of.
