    But it might have made the movie more enjoyable!

    Okay.



    Here is a lovely man in a dress. He is not gay, and he is not female.



    Here he is again. You can see he is not TRYING to pass as a woman. He is not a drag queen. He is a man in a dress.



    Here he is, not in a dress.

    Dresses are just clothing. I'm a woman and I choose not to wear them. Eddie is a man and he chooses to wear them. He should have that right as much as I do. And he is far from alone, but any example busts an absolute - especially a totally bigoted one.

    Also - you needn't be transgender to be a biological man wearing a dress. You needn't want to be a woman, or trying to pass as a woman. I went to school with an absolutely scrumptious young man who wore a black floor-length broomstick skirt to class every day. He was very straight, and did not want to be a woman. What he wanted was to wear a skirt.

    Sadly, you are wrong. As a lifetime subscriber to that other MMO.

The success of his books unfortunately has ensured that most would-be writers of high fantasy often become entangled in their attempts to devise their own ersatz high elvish and the like.
    And again sadly, the devs/gms of that game don't give a crap about any of that. I was forced to run several raids in Moria with a dwarf named BigButt McGee and even reported his name to no avail.

    People HERE give a lot more of a crap about names than there. Especially now that the game's been ruined by F2P

    Wolverines aren't rodents, they're weasels.

    That isn't what I asked. I could see the level you were getting the recipes AT, since it is on your spreadsheet.

    What level range is the ROLL you're doing? 10-14, 15-19, etc.
  7. I've been playing since launch and have a handful of 50s. I've gotten a handful of purples. A literal handful, across all my characters, I do not think I've seen more than 5 or perhaps 6 drop.

    Then last week, playing my partner's fire brute, my fire corruptor and my husband's ice blaster, we all got multiple purples. None of us are 50 - the brute is 47 - and we had the number of players tweaked up to huge masses of mobs, and we are all AOE specced. I got three, the brute got 2 and my husband got 2, over 1 week of playing that trio two or three times that week. It was pretty crazy.

    TL;DR: lol rng

    LOLOL Isn't it fun to watch? I'm enjoying the meltdown of people pulling out their hair and screaming "YOU CAN'T DO THAT! I'M NEVER WATCHING ANOTHER EPISODE!"

    I brought all my villains over to blue side except one SoA I left there to play when my husband wants to play his villains. I just don't like redside, never did - but I love the redside classes.

    Yay! I apparently won a Party Pack with Merry's Steampunk/Resistance combo Which is great because it's the only pack I refused to buy.

    Wootz! Air guitar time!

    Very interesting, but what level range are you rolling those in?

    Yup. Check my sig.
  14. I can't do just one. I will do three instead... sorry.

    1. Power Pool and Epic pool customization.

    2. Reorganizing the costume creator - the menus are a freaking MESS. Just some freaking housekeeping.

    3. Change the way respecs are done (like leveling - power, slot, power, slot) and make it so the game remembers what my bars looked like, instead of filling them with every temp power I've ever earned and making me fix it all every time.

    It'd be NICE if they'd stop restricting us from mixing certain costume pieces and give the big bulky coats to women too, but I'll stick with those three.
  15. * Complaint about how tired we are of lists on the forums.

    Or it could be that we're really tired of this argument, we're tired of umpteen threads being created and even more being hijacked, and it's long past time to move on.
    That's right, folks! If you have a problem with something - MOVE ON! Stop complaining and suck it up!

    Seriously?

  20. Merry Delivery, a character I created as a very tongue-in-cheek homage to the UPS hottie from a "this thread delivers" macro, went Resistance today. Her Resistance outfit is an amusing blend of Resistance and Steampunk pieces, I really like the way it came out. And of course, as a DP/Kin Corr, she's using the Perfectly Potent Pistols from the pack too

    Argh, it's 40 minutes past midnight here and still no pack in the store! *whines*
  22. Oh please, please please. Seriously, PLEASE.

    I pretty much only play in a duo or trio consisting of my husband and our best buddy. This would be absolutely PERFECT for us.

    Really should put something to that effect in the launcher window for those who don't come to the forums then.

    I was SO EXCITED to see the 7 new slots, considering my home server is full and I was considering buying more... Here's hoping we get to keep it!
