Ne bona. Ni diri ne al Esperanto.

Absolutely.
The DEVs should give us a toggle that can set the league to private. That way we can join in progress "pug" leagues, and people can have 'private' leagues.
For now I've all but given up on the turnstile. I've waited hours for the silly thing to work.

I do remember there was some weird way people could kill themselves under Atlas. I thought it was something to do with falling, getting to 1 hp, and then some power crashing which basically killed you. So... you know, wasn't the fall that killed you...

I think we were safe from dieing from falls from the beginning. Pretty sure at the beginning it only took you to 1 hp. I believe that it was one of Jacks design philosophies, that heroes didn't die from falling. My memory could be wrong... but I've been here since CoH closed beta, and that is how I remember it.

It is a thematic issue. Role playing I guess. Character is in a Hero only SG, is an officer in said group. So, yes. Is a no go. I do understand that it is an easy task to accomplish, and that I could. Not complaining at all, just saying I chose not to follow that route with this character.

Yah, I was refering to Soul Mastery. My Regen scrapper will not be going red side. So no Shadow Meld for me.

Edit: I am very much looking forward to Barrier. That is going to be a nice addtion.

Edit: Oh... and welcome Freitag!

Looks like a great chain for those on Red Side. Blue side doesn't have the ShadowMeld.

I am quite tired of these kinds of comments. One of the functions of the forums is to provide feedback. Anyone paying their monthly fee is very much in their right to jump onto the forums and give their opinion.
But to say to some one just voicing their opinion that they should just sit down and shut up if they don't like something you do is silly.
Look, I'm glad people like Issue 20. I don't begrudge anyone that likes raids or Praetoria this content. I am happy we have variety. My worry is that future issues will just be more of the same. And that, to me, is not what I want to be paying my monthly fee for.
I think it would be wrong to ignore any portion of the player base. Issue 20 isn't for me. That is fine. If Issue 21, 22, and so on are just more of the same then that becomes a point were they have decided to ignore a section of their player base.
I like some others are voicing our opinion, hoping that we get some consideration in future Issues.

Bill, you seem to be reading my mind lately. I was going to post this. I want the chest symbols to show up in a box just like the SG symbol screen. Make it so you can use your mouse wheel to scroll through the box and then select the one you want.

Wow, very interesting.

Who is his Praetorian counterpart? What arc / level can I find him?

Then go study and try to learn something while we try to have a well thought out converation. Little winks don't make the comments less snide.
One line troll comments do not help the conversation.

I wish I had a job that let me post all day. Maybe I'd have thousands of posts too.

I knew that before you started posting it all over. Yes, I know what the next two trials are. Doesn't change my mind or my hope that they come to their sense.

I've posted a few times too. I had to highlight a part of your post that struck me. That is dead on. It just seems contrary to what I perceive to be the game. It seems contrived. It doesn't seem like a comic story. It just feels like more of the horrid writing we've been getting since Issue 15 (Reichsman anyone?).
Anyway, I've found the same thing. I am finding myself and my limited play time drawn away to other games. I just hope they come to their senses and change directions.

Exactly this. Very well put for how I feel.

I know there are many kinds of players of this game. It seems to me those that object to the system are those that put the emphasis on their character concepts. Those that think it is great and fun, seem like the kind of player that hits the random button for a costume, and is more concerned with challenge and power progression. I recognize there may be players that fall a bit into both camps. But for the most part it seems that players that care about the concept of their character are just being ignored.
And this is the key element that feels wrong. From 1 - 50 we can make any character we want. If we need to hand wave or ignore a mission or two then no problem, especially since the entire game revolves around giving us the ability to make our character play and look like we want them to. Now come Incarnates and suddenly all that is gone. The worst example is of course the Lore ability. But that isn't the only offender. We could start with why our Natural origin martial artist or the tech savy inventor are suddenly getting powers from some watery tart.
