Yeah, I've heard this from enough people to become semi-convinced that a dev did say something that could be interpreted along those lines but like you I've never seen the proof.

That wouldn't surprise me, based on what we know about how enhancements work and why the bug occurs changing the code to fix it would be a major endeavor that would probably require changing the database entrys for an extremely high proportion of powers.

HOs scale at the same rate as SOs. So a level 53 HO provides the same enhancement values as +3 SOs.

The end game is what you chose to make of it. In Lithid's case this apparently includes running PvE content with a possibly exemplared level 50 and PvPing. For others the end game consists of rolling a new character. Yes this game does lack the end game raid progression of a game like WoW but I'm fed up with the claims that there is nothing to do as a level 50.

I had to upgrade to Excel 2007 a while back due to the line limits in Excel 2003. At first the ribbon things really bugged me but now I love it. It takes some getting used to but IMHO it's a huge improvement over the old menus.

No they were offering that price for the total of 10 rolls not for each roll so selling to both would result in 250mil. Which is still a nice chunk of change.

Yeah it's strange, I hate cooking in real life but it's one of the things I do like in video games. Of course given that most of our opponents are humans adding the ability to cook them might be a little much.... (anyone for a Roast Malta Gunslinger Liver?)

Well said. I use Windows for one reason and one reason only. It has the highest quantity of software that I'm interested in that will run on it natively (mostly video games). An operating system by itself is not interesting or useful, it is only useful as a means of running software.

Using your definition then I think you could make an argument for Recluse being Chaotic Evil. However your definition doesn't really match the D&D definition.
Form the D20 SRD http://www.d20srd.org/index.htm

Based on those definitions Recluse is Lawful Evil possibly tending towards Neutral Evil. He clearly displays a capability for long term planning and enforces a strong hierarchy on Arachnos. Arachnos itself is well organized which goes against the Chaotic Evil definition.

I think BBQ_Pork covered it pretty well but I'd like to add this quote from the official background which I think illustrates why Arachnos is not chaotic. From the official website we have this:
EDIT: Also, I don't even play D&D but I agree that the changes 4th ed made to the alignment system were awful. The alignments they removed were the ones that (to me) made for more interesting characters. Yes, there's a place for Lawful Good characters like Superman, but Chaotic Good characters like Batman are much more interesting.

This. Both Archery and Assault Rifle are rather weak compared to other blast sets until you factor in the T9. RoA and Full Auto have a huge advantage over other nukes in that they don't have any form of end crash and have a short enough recharge that with slotting you can use them every spawn (or every other if you're on a very fast team). For defenders the lack of an end crash is particuarly nice since it means you don't have to worry about endurance for buffs/debuffs after using your "nuke".

Sure you can, it's just that the police tend to get a bit upset .

If you're hurting for set bonuses then that is an option however as LostHalo said frankenslotting and especially Lysomes are a much better use of slots from the point of view of increasing the power. In particular Lysomes have Accuracy, To Hit Debuff and Defense Debuff so you're basically getting 3SOs worth of enhancement for every one that you slot.

As a side note, since zephyr -kb is a global you don't really want a level 50 anyway . I've ended up purchasing a few of them directly with merits due to my obsessive need to have the best possible level for my IOs and a complete lack of stocK of them at level 10.

I don't think there's any real thematic problem, you just have to assume that heroes and villains aren't really trading for example:

Hero purchases from a Villain:
1. Longbow makes a raid on the Black Market and recovers some stolen goods
2. Since the original owners have long since collected on their insurance the goods are the legal property of the insurance companies who...
3. Donate them to heroes for publicity and as a tax break
4. The hero's who receive the items lose influence since they are regarded as selling out
5. In order to preserve their reputation the Black Market covers up the theft and tells the villains that the items sold

Villain purchases from a Hero:
1. Several B-list villains stage a raid on Wentworths and steal some gear which they fence on the Black Market
2. Wentworth's reimburses the Heroes for their lost gear and collect against their theft insurance
3. The rates charged for Wentworth's theft insurance increase
4. Again.

That's your prerogative, but I really don't think a rez is worth wasting two power choices on. Kinetics already has Transfusion and Increase Density so you won't get much use out of the other medicine powers. In general you'll be better if you use those choices for something use (leadership maybe?) and carry extra wakies.
