liberate them from their mortal coils

Is that near Atlas Park?

You don't play on the toilet?

They're adhereing to the new NHS guidlines prob'ly

And a pony. Don't forget the pony

and ice cream too

Someone's already taking his stuff. That's what he's mad about.

What is causing you to lose these things?
I thought we were explicitly told that what we had purchased already wasn't going anywhere?

I am pretty sure that this is explicitly listed as benefits that go with VIP status.

Why wouldn't you subscribe for another year if you're enjoying playing?

Are you ticked because if you don't subscribe you wont have the same level of access as those who do subscribe?

I won't "switch" but I will make some toons there.
I have no real incentive to leave my playmates, VGs, bases, server channels, etc

Fewer people will pay to deal with it than...what?

Isn't this somewhat counter intuitive given the previous prediction that fewer people would pay to deal with the IO system?

Fewer than what? Currently? There's some reason why those of us who have been subscribing quite happily for these years will suddenly stop our subscription?

There's some important element of your reasoning that you haven't shared, or that I just plain old haven't gotten. I s'pose it prob'ly went over my head. For teh life of me, I am not sure how you came to reach the conclusions that led you to the predictions you're making.

Afaict, for the same subscription fee, we are getting more content. am I wrong about that? Will subscription fees go up or will content be removed?
What am I missing?

Who is taking away your stuff?
AFAICT, things for myself and all other subscribers is pretty much the same except better.

Do you want all the privileges of subscribers to made available to people who are not subscribers? Is that it?

Before Freedom if you stopped paying you lost everything. But now, you get to keep a number of things.
You could choose to see it as someone taking things from you when you don't want to pay for those things if you like.
I see it as allowing people to be able to have a fair amount of stuff for free and allowing those who wish to keep subscribing to have even more stuff.

Did you know that the points to buy things are included in the subscription? So it's kind of like getting the new shinies with your subscription. Just I have a choice to opt out of ones I don't care for.

I guess that's possible, but it hasn't. I have not seen any indicators of that happening.

I will wait to worry about that then. Atm, it's slated to happen.


So call this something else that makes you happier. I think it's more of an available extended free trial.

What is being taken away and where did you get that info?


I don't have the time to read the rest. Sorry.

I must be doing a poor job of communicating.

It's not about being rewarded for being "unique", but about the defining characteristics, the "uniqueness", being rewarded.

It's obvious that you don't agree that different sorts of missions could leverage stalkers' abilities any better than the ones we have now. But, I do.

I didn't ask that question, fyi.

Most any brute, scrapper, blaster or what have you can use super speed, (and/or a stealth IO) and get results similar enough to make the differences negligible.
Hide has all this extra stealth, but it rarely makes a difference in PVE.
Getting away clean from a kill is not very well rewarded in game.

Please note that I am not saying that stalkers aren't unique, but rather that the game has little that rewards stalkers' uniqueness.

I play a brute when I want to do that too.
Sometimes I feel like buffing etc and I will play a corr or a def.

Sure stalkers put out ST damage well enough, but that's not exactly what's unique and special about stalkers.

Procs work as long as the power they're in is available regardless of the lvl of the enhancement.Damage procs damage scales with level
