Well , the alternative is to just let your bonus XP bubbles fill up while not playing, and then once you've used them all up, wait until they've filled up again.

So it's not like you *need* XP buffs, you already get them if you're patient enough.

This would only be a good idea if it was some evil organization's way to create a distraction from the coming storm. It's just not relevant to what's going on in the greater game world. There's a huge, looming threat to the entire Earth and you think a story about primate territoriality is not a big waste of time?

Vanguard's campaign to perpetuate fear and distrust of the Rikti is the sort of pot-stirring melodrama you're talking about starting, and that storyline is all done except for the billboards.

edit: OOps, guess it was the long skirt? or the bolero? or maybe the witch hat? whatever, I can live with being wrong all the time.

Even for me, that wasn't a fix. You work for Fox News? In any case, the only reason to have a male character with a sash is if'n you wear a tux with it, SOOO... we still need pants to work with the sash.

God, even Flambeaux's Nemesis duplicate is more intelligent and stable than the real thing.

Edit: count this as a vote for Fusionette

If no one buys them, Paragon will add stuff to make people want to buy them. Hell, they'll probably do that even if they sell well. It's not stupidity, it's optional content you can safely ignore.

If you are doubtful of the value of these "supa packs" like I am, just don't buy them. Problem solved.

Isn't this the M.O. for all Crey and Nemesis Operations? (and some Fifth Column?) You go to investigate some lead and everybody pulls out guns on you? I don't mean to complain that it's been done, but it's been done.

I get the feeling that Lord Recluse doesn't even care about legalities. Even if you caught him shoplifting on camera with a confession and signed statements from the Freedom Phalanx, the Arachnos Lawyer Corps would keep any legal action from progressing well into the 25th century.

Recluse just brazenly does whatever he pleases because he knows the "good guys" are restricted by their legal system and he is not.

However, I like your thinking and I agree with you that Recluse needs to expand his base of operations. Maybe the problem is that we don't see him trying to turn things to his advantage *more often.* Why doesn't he use portal tech for recruiting and resource gathering? What is he doing with all the tech we've seen Dr. Aeon using? Isn't the AE system like a way to feed an "alternate" Well of the Furies? Does he have a way to use Shivans against the Shivans? Why doesn't he use Von Grun's vials of bees? What about the "ghost research" that horrible woman in Port Oakes is doing? Recluse has so many fingers in so many pies that he rivals Nemesis in complexity. So why does he rob banks in Paragon City? Because he enjoys it.

I did the "save Oranbega from Malta" mission last night and the CoT in it all had the old-style costumes.

Also, doesn't Tina Macintyre mention a world without heroes, and how unthinkable it is to have a world without heroes? *ahem*

Orobouros, level 14. Better late than never.

OR are you in *that* much of a hurry to get to 50?

You don't *have* to act like a serial killer in the new villain tutorial, but the option is there if you think casual murder is what makes a person bad.

In the evening where? When it's evening in NA, it's midnight in EU. When it's evening in AU, it's nighttime in NA.

Good luck at not pissing anyone off. Or maybe... that's what Ultimus wants?

I second this.

They've done this for quite a bit of the old content. I noticed earlier this year that some of the 10-15 Vhazilok content has been updated in the last few years. Green, glowing barrels of chemicals that damage heroes but heal the zombies...

Sounds neat, I'll have to try out that DE arc.

No one asked about the GvE booster or the Going Rogue expansion, (from the NCSoft store) but I imagine that those were expansions, and not "boxes." They tie it to retail codes.

They seem to have taken down the charts that they had up to explain this on the "Paragon Rewards" page, but according to (http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Paragon_Rewards) the "Loyal" badge is 29 tokens, so you are at reward level 8. (http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Paragon_...Reward_Level_8) It certainly seems you're top tier at the start...

Level 9 are the renewable rewards (signature character summons, dual inspirations) and higher than that are the Celestial costume pieces.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
