    I can. It's because I'm in the minority, and I know it. That doesn't mean it's not important to me.

    And I'm sure they'll continue to do just fine without my subscription money when they finally push me past my limit, too. Seriously, no sarcasm.

    Yeah, you should work on getting some of that, miss "this princess hat is so stylish."

    You do if you report it on the forums where other players can see (and exploit) it.

    Not the case in this thread, however. Not an exploit, just a bug.

    I'm sure you will. And you'll look ridiculous doing it.

    I'm sure they will. But I'm very serious about it, and every time they release female costume options but not male ones to compensate, I get a little closer to cancelling my subscription and never coming back.

    I would say that they've already finished doing so. The only mission he's still in is Maria's A Hero's Hero, which is only available through Ouroboros.

    (He's been replaced with Positron--and a Positron's Pal badge--in Maria's updated arc, A Hero's Epic.)

    Darn, wouldn't that just be a shame?

    Yes, under Face Option 2. Under every other category, women have just as many or more options.

    Or perhaps this is all based on opinions rather than sanity, and you just happen to be in the minority on this particular preference. No reason to make insinuations about the mental health of those who disagree.

    Is... is it bad if I say that was kind of the point of me voting for Option 1? I just like that face a lot better. :/

    Absorb = ?

    As long as the powers continue to behave as they currently do, it doesn't violate the cottage rule to add additional functionality.

    Changing a +Def power into a +Def/+Absorb power wouldn't be a violation of the cottage rule, it'd be a flat-out buff.

By all means, lobby for the items you want, but quit pretending "equality" is even possible.
    Which is why they should quite simply stop designing any female-only costume pieces and only make gender neutral ones. Period.

    I'm not sure if you're being serious or not here (again with that whole "hard to read sarcasm in text" thing), but I'm going to reply as if you were.

    As it stands currently, every player gets the same offering for Freebie Friday.

    The only "random" factor to it is that the marketing department apparently throws darts at a board to decide what we all get. (That bit was sarcasm. Or hyperbole. Or both.)

    Hey, I can "fix" things too! This is fun.

    Basically, Absorb creates a shell of bonus HP over your max HP. Any attacks you receive will deplete the shell before coming out of your actual HP.

    It will play heavily in the upcoming Bio Armor defensive set, as well as one or two of the next round of ATOs.

    Shouldn't you be proclaiming that princesses have no need of a knight's protection, given the inherent superiority of females as a gender?

    I'm not sure how to reply to this. I take offense at them furthering their costume gender bias, and you imply that I must not know that "princess" means "girl?" Really? Really, GG?

    You can go suck an egg, as our new Drudge friends might say.

    They never gave us a reason, but I am about 90% sure they didn't give us "the other half" of the Circle of Thorns gear because it's not modeled to fit female characters.

    (To be fair, they aren't designed for huge models, either, but which of those two fan bases do you think would be the one to raise the biggest stink?)
  18. Freebie Friday item this week:

    Princess Hat (costume part, females only)




    Yes. You read that right. It's a new, free costume part.
  19. OH SNAP, FREE COSTUME PIECE THIS WEEK. (It's new, to boot!)

    Official proof that no, the freebie won't always be a consumable.




    Oh... what's that? It's for females only?

    Seriously, WHAT THE PANCAKE, DEVS!?! (╯°Д°)╯︵ ┻━┻
  20. I think they said during a Ustream back in like April that Dr. Aeon already has plans for non-trial content to unlock Hybrid, but it won't be part of Issue 23.
  21. There is no Mecha staff option. Never was.

    Yeah, they're now listed as "German Legacy" and "French Legacy." All game servers are now solely in English.
  25. FYI, I logged in to see Issue 23 live and Nemesis invasions still occurring all over the place.

    According to a Zwill post in another thread, the Rhapsodic badge will still be given out through tomorrow, so I'm guessing the invasions will end at the same time.
