    Just out of curiosity, where did you get this information?

  4. I would prefer keeping the AT forums separate. While the playstyles can be similar, the communities that have sprung up around the ATs are unique and should be preserved.
  5. I can go a few hours without playing a videogame, especially if that downtime results in more stable servers.

    Signature arcs?

    My understanding is that these will be monthly additions.

    As for the arc itself, I ran it in about 16 minutes, and while I was impressed with the maps, the arc as a whole felt a bit underwhelming. I felt it should have better taken advantage of the leaps and bounds that mission tech has taken in the past few issues. If this is supposed to be premium content that people will be paying $5 for, it should be reflected in more than just the magnitude of the rewards.
  7. I really love Afterburner. It looks awesome, and being able to fly that fast is just nuts.

    I keep thinking it's three ketchup/mustard/blue ketchup(?!?) bottles with infinitely tiny nozzles.
  9. I think the set is pretty nifty, but ugh, for whatever reason I cannot stand those boots. I've already gotten some mileage out of the aura and wings (only had 1 token left after filling Tier 8), and the weapons look pretty sweet.

    10 Years of CoH

    I first bought the game around the end of May in 2004. I think this was not long before I1 hit, because I remember seeing the screenshots of heroes battling the Kronos Titan and seeing "Warriors battling the Tsoo" on the paper map that came with the game, but I read it as "Warriors battling the T500" and assumed that was the name of the robot. Needless to say I've learned a lot since then.
  11. Yeah, I noticed this too, figured it was intentional. I don't mind sitting in the university to craft/sell though.
  12. I just want to be able to set Hasten to "No FX". I don't mind the activation animation (quite the opposite; I think it looks pretty badass), but the continuing FX are an eyesore that clash with just about every costume I've ever made.

    But with good enough animations I'll forgive.
    If the animations are as good as (or better than) the ones in the leaked video, I'd say that's likely.

    Costume Error

    This is probably the motivation behind issuing Free Tailor tokens for each character (one for each unlocked costume slot). It's a hassle to fix, but the improvements to the interface are worth it in my opinion.

    New Brawl Sounds

    That sound effect is good and well for Brawl, but for Flurry, Sands of Mu and Shadow Maul, I propose a slight change.
  16. I figured that the 1750 I got was for three months of 400 points plus one month of 550 points, but I don't know where that extra month came from. I'm guessing that because I primarily use time cards to renew subscription, I got the points up-front. Now I need to see if I'm missing any Reward Points.
  17. Girls have picked them every one.
  18. Those options are already in-game under Options -> General -> Prompts -> Hide Paragon Rewards/Market button. They are my new best friends for life.

    Points!

    Ooh, I see 1750.
  20. I'll wait to see it in action before I pass judgement. When I first saw the Tumbler/Batmobile, I thought "What the crap? That looks slow and stupid." Then I saw the movie and thought "I want one."

    EDIT: Here's another photo, apparently of a full-size version suspended by cables.



    The vibe I'm getting is that, like the rest of Nolan's Batman's technology, this was originally designed for military applications. It looks like an urban-combat gunship, nimble enough to maneuver in areas that an ordinary helicopter couldn't.
  21. I reserved the only name I cared about over there. Other than that, not really interested.
