Eva Destruction

Just the -speed, ie the annoying part.

I always considered them one of the less annoying slow powers, since the caltrops don't have -recharge, and don't have -fly and I have a jetpack. Glue grenade on the other hand, is a complete nightmare, especially at the levels it shows up. Then you get Ghosts, you suddenly have no defense and can't hit the broad side of a barn. And your powers are tiny little dots and you can't run away because the slow persists after you leave the glue.

Rularuu and his minions would like to have a word with you.

I was, once. They said mean things about me and I got offended. Then I punched them in the face and set them on fire and did a bunch of other hurty stuff to them, and it made me feel better. So much better, that I decided to do it again at the first available opportunity.

Beating up 5th and Rikti never gets old.

Not since i8. That's when PPD in the levels where Equalizers overlap with Ghosts took over the championship spot. And since KoA caltrops stopped stacking, they're not even a contender anymore.

It all depends on how dedicated you are to badging. Even my characters who don't otherwise go out of the way for non-accolade badges will go do explore and history badges if I'm bored.

Yeah, funny, but repeatable missions > streetsweeping. Unless they have something like the Cimerora Wall there, but I doubt they will. That wall was the devs' gift to Assault Rifle.

Actually, now that I think about it, the BP feed on fear, so you probably couldn't wipe them out entirely. Unless we built a hive-mind to convince everyone not to be afraid, everything will be ok, we are your friends, we come in peace. But then you'd have some stubborn grizzled anti-hero types managing to resist through sheer force of will, and they'd turn out to be arachnophobic or something, and we're right back where we started.

NCSoft obviously has no editors, that's why there are typos in the character creator.

Seriously, if they don't change arcs to try to patch up glaring plot holes, what makes you think they'll change one to get rid of an NPC you don't like? Especially since, from what I've heard, you're supposed to dislike him?

You can. The Galaxy City beacon goes to the echo of Galaxy now and they have no reason not to make Dark Astoria work the same way.

Yes, we need a fluffy white cat that we can stroke while sitting in a big leather swivel chair.

Because teens are the ones most impressed by this stuff? Adults can get into strip clubs.

I'm sure when we finally fight Dominatrix she will be wearing a spiked leather thong and be popping out of her spiky leather corset. Calling it now.

Why didn't we kill at least those gods a long time ago? Even the other gods didn't like them. That makes me think the Rikti killing their gods was a retcon.

Not a surprise, just a disappointment. And I will continue to mock this new art direction at any opportunity I can until someone in charge realizes just how ridiculous it is. That outfit looks like it was copied off the cover of Heavy Metal.

It requires repetition, period. In normal leveling you can do a TF, then go do missions and never touch that same TF again, unless you want to. You gain all the rewards that are exclusive to that TF the first time. The only exceptions I can think of are the ITF, and that's only if you want the Nictus weapons, and Hami, simply because of the sheer number of people required.

And yes, I am aware that DFB also encourages repetition with its selection of rewards. It was created to train newbies for the eventual iTrial grind.

I fully expect i22 to introduce a fairly small number of missions that must be repeated over and over to progress. I'm also fairly certain that the good rewards will be gated behind arcs that have a logical conclusion and, lore-wise, shouldn't be repeatable, and that they will use the SSA tech rather than being accessible through Ouroboros.

That's really reaching. If any of our villains is in it for teh Evuls, it's Recluse.

A guy I knew didn't see his Rottweiler attacking him or doing anything anti-him, until it did.

It's a military facility, we're supposed to be shutting it down. I think.

If your facility is defended by a Gatorade commercial on crack, and a bunch of portals that can send in more goons to fight off attackers, why would you leave the means to counter these defenses just lying around the facility?

Which is even sillier because in order to get Servant of Recluse at least one person on the team must have Usurper. The thing is, the other silly badges in the game aren't potentially politically charged. If something is likely to offend a bunch of people for no reason, you change that thing. There is a badge on top of City Hall, there is a badge called Patriot, so what did we lose when the badge was moved?

The game is set in the US, but that doesn't mean all of our heroes have to be American. If I were to make a Canadian-themed hero it would be silly to get the Patriot badge from standing next to an American flag.

Actually I was being nice. There have been instances where MO runs I was on were blown by such mind-boggling stupidity that I wanted to reach through the screen, strangle someone, delete all their characters and get their account perma-banned.
