I must admit, I am saddened the new SSA chapter isn't out because - OHMYGOD! I LIKE THIE NEW SSA AND AM EXCITED FOR WHEN I'LL FINALLY SEE IT!
Oh, well, until then I'll beat things up on my Street Justice scrapper and when the weekend rolls in play GW2.

thank you for the responses, a friend of mine is planning to go premium soon.

If you have an Incarnate character and you unequip all of their incarnate abilities, can you still keep them if you go premium?

@Thunder
Actually, Malta Titans are referred to as 'cyborgs' due to the fact that they run on the brains of 'convicted convicts', as evidenced in 'a titan called joe', Malta will often trump up charges on people they don't like to get these brains.

@Kristen
one person had a similar idea to this, they called it was a "Hyperion" class titan.

I actually pointed this out to my brother, his theory is that Malta doesn't actually make a Kronos titan, they make two ENORMOUS Hercules titans and they combine them.

I think the real problem is, a lot of these random events tend to be zone wide and not contained to smaller areas.

I mean, I recently tried out Guild Wars 2 beta, and there was A MILLION things going on the world map I was in at once and it didn't feel overwhelming at all.

So it's been more than a month since the release of Pandora's Box part 1, part 3 is in beta, and I believe the part 4 contact for the villainside is live in Sharkhead (with a swag-tastic pith helmet) so in light of all this I and a friend are left wondering: where is part 2?

Have they decided to withdraw the "once a month" aspect of the SSA? Was that only for Who Will Die? Or do they just want more time to keep content tested and fine tuned to avoid the almost universally poor reception of the first SSA?

I must throw my hat in with the "new system".

My honest base condition for allowing for a new base editting system would be: As long as I can do as much as I did with the previous editor and more.

EAT I've been thinking of lately:

Midnighter Magus (Default Magic Origin AT)
The reasons for such an AT actually would provide more than just additional lore info for the Midnight Squad, but their powersets magical theme would allow for a decently broad range of concepts. Further more, by having this AT be open to both sides, it means we can explore the darker aspects of the Midnight Squad's research.

Primary Powerset(s)- To distinguish the Midnighters from other EATs, rather than branching powerset choices or two powersets with lots of choices, instead, this becomes the one AT with multiple powersets to its name.

Elemental Forces: Elemental forces possesses a good variety of buffs/debuffs (ice/water powers), AoE Damage (Fire), high power ST damage (Wind/Lightning), and control and a pet (Earth/plants).

Mystic Forces: Mystic forces tend to be heavily centered on the more esoteric aspects of magical assaults, using Aethers (Energy/Psi) and dark aethers (Neg/Psi), this set possesses good damage options but focuses more on debuffs, control, and has a (potentially) 'stronger' pet.

War Sage: A far cry from the other other two, this primary set focuses on mystic martial prowess, your primary weapon being your handy staff and the ability to focus many enchantments into it, but this is no clone of staff melee, that is but one facet of this set that focuses most heavily on damage at a range and melee with enchantments to boost not just your staff's might, but that of other powers such as the animated swords you can summon along side you.

Secondaries powerset(s)-

Blessings of the Earth: a multiple elemental set that compliments Elemental forces, strengthens Mystic Forces, or fills in the weakness of War Sage, this secondary set provides equal parts buffs, debuffs, controls, and heal.

Mystic Insights: Focusing on eldritch powers, this set will help shore up the damage gap Mystic forces might suffer or that of their teammates focusing strongly on team buffs, which often come at the expense of your enemies. It can also help empower the pets of any of the primaries, give better focus in Elemental forces in support, or help War Sages gain small amounts of survivability and help their allies as well.

Battle Charms: This set fully backs War Sages with some team buffs, self buffs, and controls to keep opponents out of the way. With Mystic forces it can help you securely keep foes locked down and survive the rare times they escape, with Elemental Forces you can keep yourself alive and enemies out of the way for allies or locked down for relentless assaults.

Okay, this is something of a vague idea and it's 2am here, but it's an idea I've enjoyed for the longer time.

The "Stone-faced, Soulless" remark was purely a joke, no need to look into it.

Edit: also, actually NCLauncher takes up about 10-11% of my CPU's power while steam averages 0-1%

@Xzero
People also tend to forget that the NClauncher is much worse. Takes up more CPU, not nearly as many features, NC does not have sales of their own, cannot get it's name out nearly as well, few good titles (in my opinion at least) and very few titles to begin with. (Guild Wars, City of, Aion, Lineage I & II, and I think that's it.) Oh, also store feature on the NCLauncher doesn't work, at least for me.
Opening up to steam could be a very nice boon of advertisement and connecting, especially with things like the ability to gift in-game items between eachother. Unfortunately, the decision is actually out of Paragon Studios' hands and in the hands of stone-faced soulless, Korean businessmen.

@BrightBlueInk
I love your Avatar. And I love Lackadaisy Cats.

@Captain Electric
Do you think I was joking about the cross-promotional items? Okay, I kind of was, but seriously, if we could get things like Spy's butterfly knife and Sniper's Kukri for DB (giving us more knife DB options), Scout's bat for Warmace (the present one is not color tintable and only wood), and Spy's Ambassador, Sniper's SMG for DP, and the various, valid guns for Assault and Beam Rifle weapons, I would be AMAZINGLY happy. And the hats.
And I would also be happy to actually have some genuine quality promotional items for my TF2 backpack.

Don't forget the cross promotional with Team Fortress 2!

-Soldier gets Recluse's Helmet and the Dominion of Arachnos backpack secondary. It would jut be a reskin of the buff banner that's made to look like Recluse's back legs all folded up, they all flip out while the mini-crit buff is active.

-Heavy Weapons Guy gets Statesman's masks and "The Hammers of Justice" which would be KGB reskins as just Statesman's red gloves.

-Pyro gets Preat Penelope Yin's Backpack and face details, wearing them activates Pyro Vision mode.

-Scout gets Neuron's Backpack and 'goggles', also a special reskin of BONK that looks like the Elude Icon and the use animation has Scout do the "fist to the sky/Call to justice" animation.

-Spy gains Mako's Claws (Knife reskin)

-Demoman gets Scirocco's Sword. (eyelander Reskin)

-Medic gains "Dark Watcher" coat.

-Engineer gets Anti-Matter (BLU)/Positron (RED) helmet. Gains special taunt kill "Anti-Matter Pulse" that overrides any of his weapon taunts.

-Sniper gets Manticore's bow (Huntsman reskin) and Chimera (BLU)/Manticore (RED) hat.

-All classes get a cape misc detail.

What does city of get in return?

Well, Beam rifle, assault rifle, mercs, robotics, dual pistols, and Arachnos soldiers will be getting a lot of new customizations. Oh, and hats, we'll get a lot of new hats.

All this talk of morals and ethics versus progress makes me think of one man...

I'll /sign this.

I'm really really tired of how Widows get to have their pretty faces out while us grunts are stuck in some of the dumbest helmet designs ever.
