That's because most Western depictions of introverts are shy, withdrawn individuals that want nothing to do with people. I actually enjoy dealing with people, but doing so isn't relaxing or refreshing; it's tiring. If I did nothing but interact with people all day, I'd collapse (mentally, which makes people grumpy and waspish, as some of my comments became further down the line).

I'm sure most people can at least conceptualise the idea of a daily workout (even if they don't do one themselves); you do it, you feel good after doing it, and you know you get something out of it, but if you did nothing but exercise all day, every day, you would be unable to function. Introverts can exercise as well as anyone else, but like everyone else, we need a rest from it. Most introverts probably save their energy for work and other real-life applications; my work has me sitting at a desk waiting for phone calls and dealing with people as they come in, and I have (sporadically allocated) free time during that time to do other things. I choose to post on forums, sort of how a marathon runner might jog in place to keep themselves loose and warmed-up for the real race.

You probably know introverts that are the same in your life - you just don't realise they're introverts (many of us have gotten very good at hiding in plain sight, because there is a stigma against introversion, as your comments so clearly show.)

Do you honestly believe the devs desire a repeat of what happened to the playerbase after i13?

If you're asking my opinion, I say everyone can doom any time they want for whatever reason, but I'm not the OP.

A dabbling builder myself, I wouldn't say PvP and Bases are in the same exact boat, except inasmuch as i13 changed everything. But whereas i13 seems to have been a huge detriment to the PvP community, it was a huge boon to Base Building. Removal of the raid pathing checks and ease of stacking unlocked unparalleled base options - a sort of Renaissance.

Now, true, both have lingered without update or modification since then, but while i13 acted as a sort of coup de grace to PvP, I'd argue it was probably the biggest boon that ever hit base building. So PvP is lingering on a festering wound, while Bases are lingering of a well-fertilised field. It's not quite the same thing.

It's not because the first part has TFs. It's because the only thing they'll talk about coming up are "Trials", which, by game parlance, are just different TFs.

I just remembered that the assault on Neuron's Tower in the Warden arc wasn't a solo mission, which has largely devalued my assessment.

It could still be run solo, though, and was awesome (as was the defuse the bomb plot at the end of Responsibility, and the showdown with the clone at the end of Power. Crusader was meh.)

It's raining; GG is arguing this means we are now in an underwater zone.

They put in some pretty darn awesome solo-only stuff in the last expansion. Clearly, awesome stuff doesn't have to be team-only just because it's an MMO.

I dunno, is it any more of a disconnect than sending any big bruiser of any other origin to work with any of the other origin branches? Big bruisers don't really mesh with the Hero ideal written by those arcs to begin with.

I've run it twice since unlocking Incarnates and I haven't noticed the Silos missions giving any more shards than other missions. The difference between minions/lieutenants and bosses is much larger than the difference between bosses and elite bosses.

The drugs are the result of exploding lab experiments, so I don't see how those that derive power from them wouldn't be Science. Makes perfect sense to me.

Nope, and neither will anyone else. Spectronians on Earth need breathers full of the radioactive gas of Spectron 9, after all.

But if we don't beat the dead horse, how do we know it's still deaD?!

I dunno, but I think my next character just might be a Spectronian now.

Sorry, you're wrong. If all humans have super strength on Spectron 9, a super strength human on Spectron 9 is Natural. There was no experiment or accident that caused the human to have super strength - the human has super strength simply because that's how humans work on Spectron 9.

Now, if you're talking about a human on Earth who has super strength because of some exposure due to Spectron 9, that's another issue. Could be Technology (a pressure suit or breather with the gas of Spectron 9), Science (some experiment making the exposure to Spectron 9's gas permanent), possibly even Mutation (child of a human and a Spectronian who has mutated the Spectronian gas as part of her human physiology) or Magic (an artefact that exudes the gas of Spectron 9 or an incantation that engulfs the caster in the gas and empowers them for a time.)

You are right that people are perfectly free to have the wrong or multiple origins, though.

Can't get shards off 49s.

All Kryptonians have the same powers as Superman. The game explicitly states this to be Natural origin.

They're balanced because I made six people to run through Power and only have one Resistance toon. It's all me.

If they said this in the beta, and if they're still committed to it, then they can come and have someone with a red name post, explicitly, that it is the intention of the development team to ensure that there is a solo path to all incarnate abilities henceforth. As much as I respect your information and that you're often all-but a red name on these things, this is one topic where I really do need to hear it from the horse's mouth.

Right now, we know that the Alpha Slot can be soloed. We do not know that the rest of the Incarnate slots can be soloed. If the devs have a definitive answer on this already, they need to give it to us.

I'll be damned if I won't try, though!

Are you why I had to name her Lapin Lazuli and not Blue Bunny? Because if so, thank you.

I have a bunny girl, but I don't think she needs a bunny head to be complete. Her concept actually is built around the idea of a controlling ex-boyfriend that wanted a "Playboy Bunny"-type girl.

I wouldn't object to a rabbit head, however. And she could probably use some better ears.

It comes from CoH's official Facebook page, so the likelihood of it being a 'shop is slim. It's probably genuine.

Don't forget to spend them before you go Rogue. You will lose them if you switch to Rogue.
