    Seriously. What did they say that was so confusing?

    I think there's a bit of confusion here. When I say omnipotence I'm referring to unlimited power. The ability to do anything I can imagine even if it's logically impossible.

    Not omniscience which is the capacity to know everything infinitely.
  3. Is that bad?


    Edit: I was just thinking if they come in different colors you could play Twister with them.
  4. While I was checking the loyalty emotes I found that Heroic one is borked for me. The Hero Star doesn't appear under the feet. Instead I'm getting a distorted square. The other three work fine.
  5. Don't know how long ago the switch was flipped but I just logged in and I have my Vanguard stuff now.

  7. Not sure they did a maintenance today. If there was one it was finished early because I checked the servers this morning when I thought it was going to be down and found I could log on. When I did thinking the vanguard stuff was active I found it wasn't.

    There's no written forum rule about it one way or the other. The forum rule just says don't necropost. Three months seems to be the general consensus of a fair limit when it gets brought up, especially on hot topics where some people think that what they have to say deserves a new thread. Anything over three months almost everyone agrees is necroing.

    Where exactly does it say that? Cuz the only thing I see posted by the devs in Announcements is this

    Players who keep an unbroken subscription from February 14 (12:01 a.m. EST / 5:01 a.m. GMT) toApril 18 (11:59 p.m. EST / 4:59 a.m. GMT) will now earn the Seven Years of Super Rewards...rewards!

    So be sure to have an active subscription from February 14th, and enjoy the rewards come April 28th!
    Even the main website doesn't give an exact time the vanguard rewards are supposed to unlock.

    Doc, I hope you used the search feature to find this, in which case, kudos for using the search feature to find an existing topic, except that this topic is over 2 months old.

    Less than three months is not necroposting. People starting new threads on the similar topics are always getting told that they should have posted in pre-existing posts that are less than three months old.

    Keep up the good work Doc.

    Personally, I'm of the opinion that the devs should introduce level 51-53 IOs, so we can spread the wealth around a little bit. (there would be a HUGE outcry from those who weren't paying attention to announcements and lost billions on empty bids though)

    Oh I would so enjoy watching the outrage.

    Been here for 6 years, tried to leave, not been able to. Will likely be here till the end.

    Now, where's my game birthday treats, I have characters to update!
    At least I'm just impatient. Some people get down right rude on the forums when they have to wait.

    No but they do have half a dozen of them so if they get flat/small chests then they should get 4 more to go with them.

  17. Haven't read the book yet myself. I was just trying to give the correct name of the book. Someone else mentioned the "rocking the aura" joke.

    Yeah I always get a kick out of how so many people don't understand the actual meaning of that phrase.

You have to pull up your build in a 3rd party program, go through every power and slot, even if most of them are exactly the same (and you have to remember everything about what lvl and so on you picked them up) which of the same enhancement goes in what powers, *EVERYTHING* just to add in one power or swap a couple slots to another power.Honestly, the whole system feels very flawed and I wouldn't even bother arguing 'well the devs said x, w, and k because of whatever' until they make respecs themselves not totally *BLOW*.Partial respec, blackhole enhancement, enhancement purgatory, complementary PB&J sandwich delivered to your house when performing a respec. I don't care. Make this process less crap. The End.
    Believe me Leo I agree with you that the respec feature as a whole sucks like a vaccuum on steroids, and I'll be thrilled if the devs give it a complete overhaul so it's more player friendly. And if in the process they change their minds about how many enhancements we can save, you won't here me complaining even tho I agree with the devs current opinion.

    No. There was a building of alien construction and the star and planet was supposed to be created by aliens but there was no contact with the aliens until they showed up after the scientists died. The aliens reanimated their corpses and returned them with a brand new shuttle to the Destiny.

    Dark beat me to it. Although I would like to add that we have already seen how capable the scientists are at surviving from the previous episode where 20 or so of the scientists stayed behind on that other planet and they were unable to build any type of basic shelter or store any food before winter came and they all froze to death.

    Shshshshshsh! We're supposed to ignore that just like the guns that never run out of ammo.

    Because that would make sense.
