    Nice.
    They have already stated there will be advanced warning before Celestial sets are removed, and it will cycle back in eventually anyway.

    Before I came to work today, I bought all three new packs, then went to the tailor and couldn't find anything new in the Costume Sets menu.
    I can't find them under "sets" either, but you can find the individual pieces.

    Statesman's death will have a major impact on the meta-story, which would require two realities to follow on from it if it wasn't a game wide event - like when the Battalion arrives, there'd have to be content where Statesman wasn't around to fight them, and then the same content, only with him him still alive and leading the Freedom Phalanx.
    All meta-story changes happen to everyone, even if players don't take part in the events that lead to the changes.

    But then, what is the point of playing the arc anymore if it does NOT have any consequences? I mean, if Statesman is removed from the ground up already before a new character is even created, what difference does it make if they play that arc ever?

    If Statesman's death is going to be a progressive change, then there's no need to rewrite the tutorial comic - but if it's a level zero change, then it'll need to be rewritten.
    Right. What I don't get is where you ever got the impression it might be a zero level change? Every time the devs mentioned the who will die arc, they said that it would allow us, the players, to change the very world by playing it. That sounds like a change that you actually trigger. I'm honestly confused by this.

    I don't understand the question.
    He doesn't die until after you play the arc. The arc you need to be greater than level one to play. He's still alive during the tutorial.

    No 5 year badge?

    Yes, should have received 7 year veteran when Freedom launched. Didn't.

    If he's up for a joke, tell him that I will collect all the badges in his memory, and regardless tell him that he's remembered fondly and that I have always appreciated his help badging in the past.
    Chad always takes my answers.

    I'm so very sorry to hear all this news. DC was one of the best players on Victory, and I owe so many of the badges to him. It just won't feel the same anymore.

    While I agree, some of IDW's stuff is awesome, too. Notably, Snake Eyes: Declassified.

    Maybe the point isn't what you think it was. Did you even consider that?

    Knowing something in advance but only one detail with no context to it whatsoever means there can not be an awesome bit of storytelling still? How does that make sense?

    [SPOILER]...Go seek out as many different races as we possibly can, and recruit all of their WELLS so they can fight the Battalion simultaneously? It seems so darn obvious. Which means we probably won't do it.[/SPOILER]

    Ok, well more spoilers in this response, I guess, but if you talk to Prometheus AFTER the TPN and MoM trials, he has some interesting things to say about what the well is.

    [SPOILERS]The Wells are actually living beings that can be enslaved or killed. Ours is a "he". And every different alien race has it's own "well". So, if the source of Statesman's power can be killed, it stands to reason he can, too.

    Not unless the entire 3 mission arc is "Don't let Statesman Die", but I doubt it will be.

    Well, I think he actually meant by that they will save his RETURN for the third movie. lol

    But the question that he ACTUALLY asked, not the one you answered, ( ), is will this change be TRIGGERED by playing the story arc.

    The devs have said we have the opportunity to change our own world through these actions. So it's a valid question.

    I don't think it is really a "spoiler" if the "author" is the one doing it. In my opinion this reaction is coming from an ingrained fear of spoilers from today's audience.

    Knowing the future ahead of time is actually a well known writing technique. (J. Strazynski used this a lot in Babylon 5). You see or know about a glimpse of the future which raises all the questions of how you get there.

    Don't exaggerate. You either have a short memory, or were not around for the issue 7 release.

  22. Ugh. Wow. This pack is really not up to the level of quality that I'm used to. City HAS a dual pistol character named Twinshot. Don't think she'd appreciate this. lol

    The only piece I was even considering was that little garter, but you can only get it on those awful boots. WHY is that exactly? :/
