  1. Hour and 10 minutes at max difficulty. Think it was 3 brutes, 4 scrappers and a claws widow. Was a whole lot easier than before we had incarnate powers. Thanks to yall for joining in!

    Don't forget the hiding folks. I've been seeing 30-40 people in our PinnBadges channel but when I search using the normal tool I'll see less than 10. I'm back on hide from searches for no other reason but that blind invites annoy me.

    Regardless, I agree, the number of folks left playing is painfully low and sad to see but expected.

    I never bought into that slogan being thrown around. We're not heroes (most of us,) we play them in video games (some of us.)

    Beyond that, you gonna keep trollin until shutdown?
  4. Well said, FX, and I'd love to agree that it's just a local thing, but with some of the more interesting quotes coming from members of our congressional committee on science and technology, I'm left with the belief that your area is an exception and not the norm for this country.
  5. I would try it out, illegal or not.

    Would I stick around? That would depend on what the new "devs" do with it.

  8. What Flea said covers it for me and mirrors thoughts I've had over the last week. I miss the big numbers threads in the scrapper forum but what point is there to discuss that which will never be?

    I can't even play my alts because I know there's no time left to get them where I want them to be. I keep logging BZB on to run his nightly DA arc only to be constantly reminded just how hard the devs screwed us over on the solo incarnate path. Yay, another common! I can look forward to another one tomorrow night, too! WOOOOOO. Only 15 more weeks until I can get a very rare! Oh wait... we don't have 15 weeks left.

    Maybe I'll crank up a claws/bio brute on beta...

    Socially, very liberal. Fiscally, conservative on most things. It's so wonderful having absolutely zero representation in my government.

    In all honesty, I found it disappointing. Nothing like learning unpleasant truths about people you had enjoyed chatting with for years.

  12. Yikes. It's like trying to start a lambda...

    Well, we could but plane trips get expensive and I don't want to die in a South Korean jail.
  14. Anyone else get to that point where they feel like they have a lot to say on a given topic but can't bring themselves to bother because it feels too much like speaking ill of the dead for no other reason but spite?
  15. This Friday night, 8pm central time, 12 OCT 12, let's do another all scrapper/brute ITF at +4/x8.

    If Friday doesn't work for enough people, I think I can do also do Saturday afternoon.

    Do I have any takers?

    If we get enough, maybe we could run an all scrapper/brute lambda afterwards.
  16. There's no problem in the universe that can't be solved by a handful of T4ed scrappers/brutes being thrown at it.

    I applaud him for having the guts to say those things. That was the first wake up call in this whole thread.

    Look at us, we were the best community out there. Don't let Ncsoft take away our morals. In fact, if I were going to be mean, I would tell ya'll to stop claiming you came from CoH community.. Because the attitude here just stank! It's so embarrassing.

    CO is being sympathetic, they have the heart. Let's just all be grateful. The post was not bad to me.. It literally melted my heart.
    What, precisely, are we supposed to be grateful for again? That some other inferior product exists that we *could* start playing once this one dies?

    Am I supposed to believe that the company reaching out to the poor poor people on the sinking ship are doing so out of some sense of altruism instead of giving me a hand while they reach into my wallet?

    My distaste for a game's mechanics and graphics are now a moral case?

    Ummm, no.

    Par for the course.

    Just make sure all of your teammates are running SO only builds as well.

    There's a line between "I don't like your product" and "therefore, I will abandon all pretense of civilization in my interactions with you."
    Nah, I just wrote them off as a lost cause. No posting to their forums, no emails, no contact at all.

    I'm a prat for thinking that ME3's ending was a complete PoS and DA2 was an empty and flat waste of money compared to DA:O?

    Huh. And here I thought I was a consumer that expected better from a company I had spent years praising.
