    Ironik should think about when dinosaurs roamed the Earth:

    Holy frijoles, dude, how old are you?!
    20,000 years older than sand!

    I'll be 50 in October. Admittedly, I didn't run into ol' Clutch until the early '70s when a local syndicated station was showing them.

    StormSurvivor should seen on the map where it says "Here be monsters":

    I'm apparently still there, because I thought, "Decorum? Get out my head!"

    Now I'm just scared.
    Yeah, you really don't want to be in here. Trust me.
  3. Gives you a short-term police/crab backup. I haven't tried it but it sounds neat!

    Clebstein should know how it goes:

    People keep saying one side is a majority and the other is a minority, but I have yet to see any actual evidence of said claims.
    Most likely scenario is the same as it is with most things, ingame or outside of it. A minority is bothered by one way, a minority is bothered by the other way, and the majority doesn't give much of a rat's patoot either way.
  5. **shrugs** /signed. It doesn't have to be anything special. The standard "this guy's tough, you might want to bring some friends" would be fine.

    EDIT: OK, StormSurvivor, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
  6. They've said before that the engine limitations prevent them from doing the normal four-footed animal types. But you hold on to your dream, Streaky!
  7. **shrugs** What can one say? PT Barnum was right.

    Caveat emptor, all!
  8. I never really looked into how others make their Blappers, but the one I have uses a lot of hit and run. He's Fire/NRG and I make a LOT of use of the KB in that secondary. I've only taken two from my primary and I try not to use those much (and I'm thinking about respecing one out if I can place it right). It's great fun for me, but I don't know about it at your setting, Sam. Maybe I'll test him out on that and see how he does.

    EDIT: Oops, I guess I took three from my primary, but only two attacks (Fire Blast and Blaze). The other's Aim.

    The_Alt_oholic wants sackcloth and ashes:

    For them to admit that they made a mistake rather than saying "the system is working as intended."

    They didn't admit making a mistake.
    Well, it probably is working as intended. The mistake was not telling us. I'm more of a fan of fixes than apologies, though, so...eh.

    TonyV wants to know:

    I really just don't get why one guy thinks he's smarter than over a hundred thousand players, many of which are willing to freely share their hard-won knowledge and information.
    Why, because he's "the world's foremost expert in the Dark Melee/Dark Armor Scrappers"!

    Seriously, isn't he breaking some kind of truth in advertising laws with this nonsense?

    Samuel_Tow hates split bodies:

    Yeah, I do actually keep overlooking that. Given that all players run at (relatively) the same speed and most players run faster than most NPCs, allowing blasting ATs to essentially kite endlessly and never stop is... Problematic? Yeah, to say the least.

    Not to mention that the less reason games give players to backpedal, the better. I HATE the look of that kind of movement, especially running! I mean seriously!

    And again - melee just looks TERRIBLE in perpetual motion. Even anime, which is known for its weird fighting styles, tends to avoid that.
    I figure we get plenty of "movement while fighting" just by using momentum anyway.

    I usually only team with people I know and trust so I don't have mine set.
    I usually only team with people I know and trust, but I also know they're "jolly jokers" who would love to plant me on some high teetery spot if I go afk, so I always keep mine set to prompt.

    Zombie Man asks what I asked:

    Now... if you can get someone from Production to answer this question, we'll be golden:

    The Loyalty Program announcement promised that pre-ORDERS will get an automatic buy-in into the Closed Beta (third tier).

    1. Does that still exist and does that pertain to those who pre-ORDERED through GameStop and other retailers? And if yes, by what mechanism do they get into Closed Beta?

    2. Does that apply to those who pre-PURCHASED, too?
    Just what is it about this question that they won't answer? It would seem to be easy from their end, wouldn't it?
  14. Actually, you're mixing and matching as it suits your will.

    Durakken qualifies:

    So I think the exponent for that is written x^x^x^x where x = infinity. In other words the chances of something like that happening is... well I don't know but it is lower than .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000001 and that's enough for me to say that will likely never happen.
    What it isn't, though, is enough to say it will not happen.

    Angels vs Demons

    Quote:
    Dr_HR missed it:

    I dont recall seeing any Angel based heroes in the past.
    I saw a ton of player character angels the day after we were able to have wings.

    If you mean outside the game, the JLA's Zauriel comes immediately to mind, and I'm sure there are others.
  17. Oh, forgot to mention this...
    When consulting the experts about the nature of this “enemy,” this reporter encountered a variety of answers concerning rogue gods and demonic spirits.
    But they give Azuria's view because the article's about her. We don't get to hear any of the other "variety of answers".

    DumpleBerry sees in my head:

    So the LoreWiki is going to be "City of Heroes and Villains and Going Rogue Lore, according to Durakken."
    I keep hoping the cooperative nature of that Wiki will help temper Durakken's tendency to take his own spin on things as fact.

    Durakken takes focus:

    An explanation is right here for Nature Spirits http://www.fbsavanguard.org/wiki/Paragon_Times/20050615
    “Much of what we know remains obscure, to be sure, and highly secret—those who oppose us would very much like to know the extent of our knowledge—but the short version is that we are facing nature spirits who, in the earliest periods of human existence, evolved beyond control of the elements and became gods who needed worship and devotion from mortals. These gods formed pantheons that aligned themselves with the first human tribes in northern Africa and the eastern Mediterranean.
    This may or may not apply to the Greco-Roman gods, but it doesn't sound like it applies to the Norse/Germanic, Indian, Japanese, etc. etc. pantheons at all, just those involved in this conflict. I don't think this can be used as a source for a sweeping "all gods are nature spirits" claim, especially since she says "short form".

    Store on test?

    Oh, I forgot about that. I sometimes think of the online store as a place I haven't been, instead of buying stuff at the character screen. My dumbitude.
  21. I still have fun doing Synapse, but then I'll give my usual disclaimer that I'm kind of weird.

    I mostly endure slogging through endless Clocks just to get to Babbage so I can put out the call to the SG and have a bunch of folks come a-runnin'! Most fun part of that TF.

    Ironik can join Spinner and Paddlefoot:

    For me, that would be huge.
    Put that way, I can't get Clutch Cargo out of my head now.

    Clouded has plenty of company:

    My mind must be in the gutter because every time I see 'MF' in this thread it reminds me of something totally different. Think like Samuel L. Jackson and you'll see...
    I have HAD IT with these MFing MFs in this MFing game!

    Don't get me started on the Dual Pistols abbreviation.

    EDIT: Meh, I should have figured others would get to that classic phrase before me.

    Samuel_Tow wonders:

    There was never a prompt. The system used to tell me "this post already exists" and it didn't do that now. I highly doubt it's been removed, too, so I wonder why it didn't trigger.
    It happens once in a while in this system (I'm used to it over at Comicbookresources). It's just a server hiccup.

    Ghost Widow!

    I'd love to post "Stuffin' Martha's Muffin", but I'm pretty sure that would give Mod8 a frowny face.

    Oh, Mojo, you're too naaaaasty!
