    From what I've heard about Guild Wars 2's account security, a few hundred people probably have that info already anyway.

    Hey, it can be really difficult for a PR firm to edit together one paragraph when translating from a source of 20 pages of evil cackling, insults and profanity carved into the flesh of crying infants.

    Not a single doubt.

    Yup. I checked myself just the other day, and 2.4 is on live for VIPs only.

    It is not, as I mentioned, available in the store. There hasn't been a change made to the store since before August 30.
  12. NO. NOTHING NEW WILL BE ADDED TO THE STORE. PERIOD.



    Anything that shows up in game is the result of an automated system, but with nobody in the studio to tie it to the store, it can't actually be accessed. Later this month, SSA 2.5 will come out, but only VIPs will be able to access it--like SSA 2.4, it won't show up in the store.

    And the Space Pirate stuff is tied to the new Super Packs, which again, were never released on the live market.

    It shouldn't. Rogues are treated as Villains when redside. (If you were a Vigilante, it'd be a different story.)

    Okay, from memory here, since I don't have any 35+ villains who haven't already chosen a patron:

    1) Talk to Arbiter Rein, get his mission
    2) Go inside the building, read all the plaques below the patron statues... maybe talk to Arbiter Daos in the center of the room?
    3) Return to Arbiter Rein to complete mission
    4) Go downstairs and talk to the patron of your choosing.





    Hrm... Are you perchance a Kheldian? They don't get to have Patrons as I recall...
  14. What level are you? You have to be at least 35.

    Debt caps are now set by your character level (and have been since like Issue 4 or 5). I think prior to that, there was a universal debt ceiling that basically amounted to "any more debt than this would require switching data types."

    Oh, you think I was judging him on appearance? I already knew he was a giant Weeble-shaped blob. As I mentioned, he's internet famous. I'd seen pics long before I met him.

    Exactly.

    My first impression was, as I said, that he does not seem to be the sort of person who would go out of his way for a kindness unless there were something in it for him. I met him and acted politely--if nothing else, I was meeting somebody who was actually famous on the internet, so there was some small level of awe there--and he shooed me away because I couldn't afford his autographed thing (I think it was a DVD?) right then and there.

    It was for a couple minutes, I tried to tell him that I'm a fan of his webcomic (I wouldn't really say I'm actually a fan, though I do read it occasionally) to be polite, and he offered to sell me something that had been autographed for $20. I didn't have the cash, told him so, and he snapped at me for wasting his time.

    I was the only person near his booth. He plopped his fat *** back down in his chair and picked up a comic book, then scowled at me until I walked away.






    Also, my puppy is awesome. You betta reco'nize.

    I met Scott Kurtz once. He really didn't strike me as the sort of person to go out of their way to do anything if it didn't directly benefit him. I was unsurprised to find his motivation for that post was because City of Heroes had directed traffic his way in the past.

    As far as today's Penny Arcade strip goes, I'm pretty sure it was written as satire... though unfortunately the mark of good satire is that it is indistinguishable from seriousness by its target audience. The people who have no connection to City of Heroes will see it and say to themselves, "Yeah, what IS the big deal anyway? It doesn't affect me."

    Worse, it could potentially be viewed by NCSoft as being serious--famous internet personalities actively do not care about City of Heroes.
