Primarily, I was making a tip of the hat to the classic "By the time you see the Ninja, you are already dead."

Now, go with me on this for just a minute, and keep in mind that I have not run the event yet, so I'm basing this on my own ideas of how villains should behave. Also seeing this from the POV of my own stalkers, not the Captain himself.

What if the whole attack, storming the beaches of Talos (for example) is nothing more than a diversion, while the Stalker went after his true objective?

What if he's not interested in a rampage, but a surgical strike; say a single death, the theft of a well-protected item, or planting a bug in a sensitive location.

What if the Stalker's true objective is not even IN Talos? While the opposition are desperately fighting off an invasion in one zone, the Stalker takes the opportunity to raid another.

To me, Stalkers are above all else, infiltrators. What they do once they are inside depends on the mission at hand.

YMMV

Just got a mental image of Marauder coming home from a hard day's work at the shoe store, kicking back on the couch, and shoving one of those oversized gauntlets down the front of his pants.

Maybe that's why they look so baggy in the front.

I'm a big SP fan, but that episode...

Just, ewww.

Great lis... er, collection. Remember, Steelclaw does not make lists. People with no sense of humor object to lists. Lists are bad, mmkay?

Just because you don't see the Stalker, doesn't mean he's not there.

FWIW.

Nah, was just pulling your chain. Although I would not play a petless MM personally (I think it defeats the purpose of the AT), I'll admit it can be done... to some extent. I don't think they will ever be nearly as effective, but if it's fun for you, I honestly have no reason to object to that.

Challenge Accepted!

From the photo:
- This is Rommy as an EB, not an AV, definite difference there
- No indication that he has his full powersets, could be severely gimped as a custom enemy
- No proof that you did, in fact, solo him, your team could be standing just off screen

From the Video:

Nice job soloing a mob of Council with no pets. With pets, you could have done it in a fraction of the time, but YOU. DID. IT. No arguments, camera tricks, etc. Where are the big boys in this mob, though?

Yes, I can find things to complain about. Not saying you didn't do it, just saying that this picture alone is not compelling evidence.

Darth was asking for video, not verbal accounts. At the risk of being lumped in with the haters and trolls...

Pics or didn't happen.

I missed them as well back at Halloween, will probably pick them up this time around. So there is a benefit to bringing unavailable items back on the market.

Good to hear from people who are (somewhat) pleased by the sale offerings.

What's funny to me is, if you read "In My Opinion" into his remark, he becomes 100% correct. His opinion is his own, and it doesn't matter if his opinion is based on current information or past experience.

Likewise, whether anyone else thinks he's full of it or dead on target is irrelevant, since that's their opinion. Like the comments on art upthread, it's all subjective.

I get amused by the strangest things.

Good stuff. Reminds me of an old riddle:

Q: How do you get an English Major's attention?

A: Call out, "Hey, Waiter!"

I kid, I kid.

There was, to my memory, no release date in the article. So I'm guessing the point of the article was to inform people about the specifics of the set. Maybe build a little interest. Get people thinking about whether they'd like to have it when it comes out. You know, like a press release does.

Think about it, we're gettining "Man of Steel" trailers, and that movie won't be out until next summer.

also gives +Perception. Might have helped.

Too soon?

"Showgirls", starring Elizabeth Berkley. Another Paul Verhoeven masterpiece of modern cinema.

Add sarcasm to taste.

This probably goes without saying, but Putting GG on your ignore list would proably be more effective. That way you won't have to see it if she responds to you.

Come along, GG. This person has asked (reasonably) politely that you don't make this type of post in response to theirs. Not very heroic, IMO. What would your fans think?

Ah, yes. The "secret objective" that shows up from time to time. I understand that missions that don't list all objectives have been requested to be /bugged.

Couldn't hurt to report them, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Possibly NSFW

As was mentioned upthread, this can be offset by buying the enhancement increase from the market. With the amount you spend each month (see OP), I'd think you would have plenty of points to afford them.

Or are your respecs so drastic that you end up with more than 50 enhancements that are not re-slotted? I'm having a hard time imagining that.


The auto-alphabetizing of storage racks should make this easier. I'd love to see all storage items in a base linked (i.e., click one storage rack and see everything you have in all of them), but since bases have been pretty much declared an evolutionary dead end, I don't see that happenning until a completely new base-building system is installed.

Wonder Woman is running, you argument is...

Umm, what was I saying again?

I think this is a case of CoX targeting specific players to ensure they can't participate. They have a team of ninja actuaries that examine your social calendar, work schedule, sleep time, local weather conditions, planetary alignment, etc to determine the most effective scheduling to inconvenience those unfortunate players who have drawn their ire.

Or maybe I'm just reading too much into this.

Going to go way out on a limb and say this is the reason they put them up again.

Look at it this way, if there's nothing that interests you this week, you'll still have your points to use next week. It's not like they expire.

I've taken to referring to the Ben Affleck film as "Derp-Devil".
