  1. I felt like I beat the game after I got one 50 of each AT.
  2. Congrats! I just reached that goal last month myself It's a pretty big milestone if you ask me.

    When I do that arc, I just carry insps. Blues help with the curse...

    Anyhow, back on topic...sort of. I plan to play my loyalist sort of like Moneo.

    Derailing a bit: Those two books (Hunters and Sandworms) were lame in comparison to the rest....

    I was willing to give them a fair shot, free from (what I perceived as) fanboyism to Frank Herbert. But Hunters and Sandworms were just lousy vehicles for all their other Dune books....that was disappointing.
  6. After (finally)reading the Dune series, I'm wondering if the Praetorian Tyrant will end up being like the Tyrant in Dune, evil, but a necessary evil to prevent a greater calamity.

    Calvin Scott could be Duncan Idaho...I guess :/

There's a reason there are almost no children NPCs in the game, and blinding them off-camera is not a valid work around if you're aspiring to a rating that allows the most sales.
    That's one of my favorite missions. I just did it today on my new brute.

    Same here.

    And, at any rate, the character isn't quite sure how the broadsword works.
    My BS/shield scrapper is tech too, but the sword and shield are made of nanites...

And if you're a magical creature like a genie that naturally has magic powers, is your origin natural or magic?
    I've made demons that had magic powers because there were doing magic and demons that were natural because the powers were inherent to their demon race.

    Also, Superman is natural, like Aquaman.

  14. There's plenty nice about being a tyrant. People do what you say, girls in togas feed you grapes...well there's two things nice about being a tyrant.
  15. It's quite possible that he'll not use that name. That's just what we Primal Earthers know him as.

    Killing pigs

    I quit FFXI after struggling to get to level 10, I got killed by a sheep and was dropped back to level 9.
  17. Something a lot of people forget:

    When WoW came out (just a few months after CoH), the boards were awash with, "WoW's going to kill the game!" or various permutations of that...5 years on, CoH is still here. If WoW didn't kill CoH, what can?

    You, citizen, are exactly correct.

    Ever read Notes from Underground? (if not you should, good book) There are those that, even in a perfect utopia, would be unhappy, simply because they didn't want a perfect utopia, people that reject 2+2=4 out of spite.

    Rebellion for the sake of rebellion?

    I think you win the thread...I'll need the other judges to confirm though.
