    Just saying.
    My mistake. It might just be my view on things, but I've been seeing this same "don't judge it yet cause it's not finished" attitude actually IN the feedback threads, and it kinda felt like the same thing here. Sorry about that.

    Just saying.

    No, the slot is an advertised main feature. Perhaps it is "just a bonus" to YOU, but I missed that dev announcement. And no, you don't count.

    I think what he is actually doing is expressing feedback. YES, DO THAT.

    That and Animal Masterminds.

    <edit> but that was really day one of City of Villains coming out, or ~day 515.

    Aren't the melee ATs the most common ATs compared to MMs? I;m actually curious to how popular MM is as an AT as well.

    Have to wait, have to wait. I understand that. Still doesnt make me though
    The popularity of Masterminds has increased by at least one (me) because of Beast Mastery. So there's THAT...:P

He wanted magic staves and/or Goa'uld staff weapons. He also seemed to be of the impression that since staves were now melee weapons, there was no chance that the devs would ever make the "Staff Blast" set he wanted, because there was no way that they would ever use one weapon in two different powersets, like they did with Archery, Trick Arrow, and Ninjas.
    They should only do this if they also make a P90 custom weapon for assault rifle on the same day.

    You think only the Masque can come to the conclusion that your statement was an attack? What WAS it designed to do? Calling someone out by pointing to their specific username and then saying it basically invalidates what they say.

    Are you trying to make someone feel GOOD? It doesn't look like it.

    It is not NEUTRAL, either. It is very specific to that one username. What does that leave?

    Are you saying anything about the subject of the conversation, ie Clown Summoning as a joke or in the game? Only if you define "I looked at your complaint" very broadly.

    So, if it is not an attack, what is it? What is that statement adding?

    Well, it wasn't really "pseudo" until they changed it. :P

    You're assuming they aren't doing it on purpose, just to mess with us. This latest incident kinda leans that way. lol
  12. They need to add a "check name" feature for every time the Devs try to add a badge name. Then maybe we would have "Gate Crasher2" or "Gate.Crasher" or something.

    This mission probably is intended for those that have progress to make on the incarnate path, and therefore are not level 50+3...

    And I don't believe in the word "overkill", it's always just enough "kill". haha

    Of COURSE there are! When you change code, you make bugs. That's just the way programming works. The best we can hope for is the ones that make it through are minor or can be fixed quickly.

    Learn what the words mean before you use them in a professional setting! Misleading your customers is not a good way to get money, its a good way to get sued, and/or lose customers.

    and 250 points for that?!?!?! something with no value what-so-ever? it's expensive at 40!
    I would counter with the fact that learning expressions or idioms is part of knowing how to speak a language.

    I know you didn't really forget about Darkness control...It's just worth mentioning.

    OH WAIT
    Meh. So what? Issue 22 will still be here. It's not like you have to choose.

    What does that say about US, though? The contacts might be thinking, "You know, we called you on six different occasions, and now three heroes are dead. You can go ahead and sit the rest of this out. We're thinking maybe we'll give Blast Furnace a chance instead..."

  19. Hey, Lady Grey? Remember the last time every single member of the Freedom Phalanx died, and you just popped in and rezzed everyone, even fixed it so Positron was no longer suffering from the condition that kept him trapped in his armor? Yeah, one more rez please.

    On it's own, this chapter was alright for story development. But the thing that bugged me was this came right after one of the biggest moments in CoH history. Statesman had died. But it just felt like it almost completely ignored that. Aside from Nemesis attacking Portal Corp, which was kinda out of left field, no real mention was made of it. At least villain side, that is. You'd think your street cred would've soared considering your villain was at the scene when it happened, and I doubt Darrin's come forth to claim responsibility.

    As for the story itself, all I gotta say is I'm more interested in "Who Won't Die" than "Who Will Die."
    Or change the name of the story to "how MANY will die?"

    I think that part is a bit overblown. You would have known who was going to die as soon as you saw the artwork for the loading screen anyway. The death was the climax, the other two parts need to come down from it, I never expected the major death to be the very end of the story.

    The Alpha arc is part of why I was hoping the arc would trigger the phasing tech, although that isn't really perfect either, since you can do that before or after the SSA. Hero-1 is already part of the arc, so I think the only answer is to make you talk to Ms. Liberty.

    That does not appear to be the case. I unslotted a purpled ATIO from my Widow, mailed it to myself, and claimed it on my Spider. It only says I can't slot it because I'm not 50.

    Yeah, it's the "or 12" part that was being asked about. You may have noticed that more than 8 means multiple teams. ":P" back at you.
  25. So you don't have to switch sides to get all the new badges then?
