Doctor Roswell

Asymmetrical abs are pretty common, especially for people who work one side of their body harder than another or stand/walk with their pelvis at an angle -- say, because they have a hundred and eighty pounds of iron and spikes on one shoulder.

I come to these feedback threads every week to point out that Paragon can't release something both awesome and brand new every single week, and that it's better they not release anything new at all than release something rushed, broken or otherwise not ready for prime time. I stand by that.

On the other hand, I come to these feedback threads every week to point that out. It's starting to skew too far in the other direction for me. New super packs, Cybertech costume set... something, guys. I suppose it's forgivable to focus on the fish-pieces this week (honestly, I was surprised those didn't make their return last week) what with the pseudo-event, but it's starting to wear thin, even for me.

I care about costume change powers about as much as I care about vanity pets. Which is to say, not even a little. And these barely count as something new -- they just replace my character model with something already in-game.

Nobody ever promised us Nature Affinity this week. there was no release date in the Intrepid Informer article. The past few articles have all indicated their subject's release a week later, but they all also spelled that out explicitly in the article. This one didn't, so I'm not too surprised not to see it this week. I'll start getting excited once we get the "it's coming on this specific date" notice -- I won't be at all surprised if that comes later today, though. It's been unheard-of recently for an II article to precede its subject by more than two weeks, even when it didn't include a date.

I'd grab Time Manipulation today while it's on sale "just in case," but, oh look, my name is orange. Guess I can't.

It's hard to say for sure, but my first though is that you might be trying to apply a European code to a North American account or vice-versa. Unfortunately, they're not interchangeable. That's the only reason I can think of that a code could be good, but not good for your specific account.

Send Zwillinger, Hit Streak or Freitag a private message here on the forums and they'll probably be able to help you sort it out.

Also, Dark Matter is an aura, not an emote. But that's really neither here nor there.

My final tally:

• Staff Fighting/Super Reflexes scrapper: 45 to 50
• Illusion/Dark Affinity controller: 27 to 40
• Kinetic Melee/Ninjitsu stalker: 25 to 36
• Warshade: 23 to 26
• Peacebringer: 23 to 25
• Arachnos Widow: 0 to 24
• Shield Defense/Energy Melee tanker: 0 to 19

Everything I wanted to accomplish, and then some.

I like the "Locator Device" idea.

I LOVE the "Enhanced Senses pool" idea. Lots of opportunity there to make a tracker like Wolverine, a detective like Batman....

I've officially met all my goals for the weekend; my controller made it to 36.

Now what? Invent more goals! I've never given an Arachnos widow a real try, so I made one, then leveled her up to 24 so I could test-drive both Night Widow and Fortunata.

As for tomorrow, who knows? But this event is, for me anyway, already a complete success.

After a single day of double XP, I've met two of my three goals: my scrapper hit 50 this morning, and the stalker is now level 36. I tried to get the controller a few levels, but he suffers from a rare handicap known as "being redside." And it seemed like all day, villain teams would only start forming once I'd logged on with a hero and joined a group. I'll try again tomorrow.

Weird, not long ago I tried basically the exact thing you described, and the event wouldn't even start due to an "alignment conflict." I had to leave the team.

I have three specific goals, in this order:

1. Get my Staff/Reflexes scrapper to 50 (currently 45).
2. Get my Illusion/Dark controller to 35 (currently 27).
3. Get my Kinetic/Ninjitsu stalker to 35 (currently 25).

EDIT: I'm off to a good start; We're still hours away from kickoff and they're already 48/27/27, respectively. Goals, however, remain the same.

I support this cause and would vote for a candidate including it as part of his platform.

Just for the record:

The last five Intrepid Informer articles (putting aside the ones regarding scheduled events or issue releases), whether they've included officially-announced release dates or not, have all been about something two weeks away from release or less. The last three only meant one week.

Technically, this doesn't mean anything. But hey, would you look at that, today is Market Release Day. And a week from now will be Market Release Day again....

Also, next Tuesday will be the first Tuesday which falls more than a month since the last new powerset was released on July 10th.

Let's see: Got it, got it, got a pile of them from super packs. So nothing for me this week. And also this:

It's always kind of sad when an event like this ends; I understand why they have to, but... it's content being removed from the game, and that just seems wrong on some level.
