    Five pages of meandering later.

    In conclusion, that's why I should be elected. Also, it's easier to go 'is this the hill I want to die on?' before starting a reply.
    I say your 2-cent titanium tax doesn't go too far enough!
  2. TL;DR, but I agree with you on Star Trek '09 (even the title was generic and boring).

    However, I can't agree with what you've said about Red Skull, Hugo Weaving was frickin' awesome. He's really a villain that doesn't require a lot of depth to be good (and in fact, probably suffers from having it).
  3. Market subforum would probably be a good place to ask, these sorts of transactions happen all the time over there.

    there's no Titan server
  5. Lord Winter keeps putting them out when they first spark. As for the raves being gone, well, Trolls just don't like the cold.
  6. I'm more interested in how you've managed to stream a movie on Netflix that won't even be released in theaters for another 5 months.

    C'mon Newb!

    This was really not a "newb" moment so much as it was a "high on cough medicine and not really paying attention to what the hell I was doing and thus made a huge mistake" kind of moment.

    Last night I did my first successful TPN. When I was done, I was sitting with 27 Astrals, 7 Empyreans, and 88 Threads (along with some other specific components I don't recall, besides the VR Forbidden Technique). I had one T3 Degenerative Interface, and a T1. With all of this salvage I decided, to hell with it, I'll just buy the rest of what I need with Threads in order to get my T4 Interface. So I did.

    As soon as I finished crafting I realized what I had done. Although I had the Forbidden Technique needed to craft a Degenerative Core Flawless (75% -Max HP, 25% Toxic DoT), I had actually wanted to craft a Degenerative Radial Flawless (25% -Max HP, 75% Toxic DoT), which meant I needed to sidegrade my VR first.

    So now I need to work my way up the tree all over again.
  8. Not my experience on Pinnacle, TPN and Keyes are in regular rotation with BAF and Lambda these days (and MoM to an extent; not UG though).
  9. Probably the latter, as the Vanguard costume pieces work the same way (still earnable in game on a character basis but also purchaseable globally).

  11. So glad I bothered to get the 25% off character slots when if I had just waited 2 weeks I could have gotten them for 50% off. That's a pretty crummy move. Pick a sale price and stick to it, quit jerking us around.
  12. Pretty sure I would never team with you if you did this on every trial.
  13. There's a joke about Virtue Pocket D here but it's probably better left unsaid.
  14. 5 full teams is an unusually low turnout? I've seen 3 full teams do a Rikti raid before.

I forget BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MATTER! It almost never comes up. Mercedes Sheldon has a cool arc with them, but you can swap the Warrior names around and nothing will change. Oh, sure, it won't match the Iliad word for word, but the story itself won't change. All of these factions can do with so much more fleshing out and I'm sure there are plenty of stories to be told about them.
    Odysseus actually appears in the Mortimer Kal SF.

"Why bother to plug these holes, it's all just a joke." Seriously? Ever hear of a work ethic?
    You know nothing about my work ethic, thanks.

    Also, what I took issue with was your use of the phrase "your community". You're part of this community too, buddy boy.

    P.S. PvP is a joke, partly because of what it is, partly because of who partakes in it, and partly because of how it was designed, by many people who no longer work at (or technically never worked at) Paragon Studios.

    So quit being such a Care Bear.

    I may be mistaken but I believe there's only been one Player Summit so far.

    And you can't slot or unslot Incarnate powers while in combat.
  19. You seem to be confused. I wasn't joking. It won't be added in as an auto-unlock if you have the Visionary badge already, it'll be part of a weapons pack. That's how things work now.

    Emphasis mine. All I can ask is:

    PvP in this game is a joke and debt in PvE is an even bigger joke.

    DJ Zero just really likes the song. The ravers have started to get sick of it but nobody is nearly powerful enough to challenge him so they all just sort of grit their teeth and deal with it. At this point they dance only ironically.

    I feel like this post alone should be stickied just for these two sentences because I don't think we've ever been given the exact percentages before.
  24. Gong of Doom sounds fun except for two problems.

    1. It's gonna have to bypass the aggro cap. Which is fine, standard code rant aside, but that's a hurdle.

    2. The devs have gone to great lengths to make ambush farms worthless in AE, I can't imagine them selling a power on the Market that would allow you to turn any x8 mission into an ambush farm. Yeah, with the right toon you can already farm Freakshow on an outdoor map or whatever, but being able to bring them all to you would make it much quicker.
