  1. I'd heard a rumor he played - I wonder what server he's on?
  2. I think we'll get quite a bit of new I20 info here

    It's quite possible you'll be able to take part in a Trial without needing to join a team - just like the Praetorian zone events.
  4. I demand video coverage and Twitter relays
  5. How do they run downwards? They'd both be falling, and they'd both hit the ground at the same time

    States-villain?

    In the revamped Maria Jenkins arc, you meet a Statesman automaton that Tyrant has constructed in an attmept to trick Lady Gray into shutting down the war walls - there's scope for all kinda of wacky hijinks with something like that

    It'd also be interesting to know if Tyrant had the automaton built for him, or if he got it from someomne else, who might have built Freedom Phalanx automatons before

    Unless it's off the edge of a building

    The bay was created by a collapse of a section of the gigantic cave network in the area.
  9. Is anyone going to be on Test a bit later? I'd like to run an STF to check the drops.

    Well, they've not actually said that they aren't - they've just said that I20 has Incarnate Trials in it.

    I think you should run Ramiel's arc on all your 50s, so at least you'll start picking up Shards on them, even if you don't plan on using them right now.

    Their old one was destroyed, but they have a new one in the comics - which could be Fort Trident.

    In WoW asking questions in game get obscenities hurled at you. Some people (the problem ones) have trouble making the transition lol.
    It's the chainmail - it's unfomfortable, and makes people grouchy - spandex is way better for creating helpfulness

    Are there no drops or XP on solo missions?

    That's not been promised.
  16. Power Girls isn't really muscular either - she's just robust - strong, but still feminine.
  17. I've made a model of the whole Atlas Plaza area, including the statue, but it uses bought items, so I don't think it's allowed to pass them on.
    I was thinking that if you were doing a normal picture and needed the statue for like the background, then I could have rendered it for you.

    You don't really need endgame content either

    Only Tier 1 of the Alpha slot is required - Tier 2, 3 and 4 are optional, and teams have been smashing the 2 new TFs with just Tier 1 avatars.
    The Apex and Tin Mage TFs with Tier 1 are the Maria Jenkins arc with SOs.
    The Apex and Tin Mage TFs with Tier 2, 3 and 4 are the Maria Jenkins arc with IO sets and purples.
  20. I always like teaming with the signature heroes - I just wish that the Freedom Phalanx base was available for players to go visit.

    And welcome to the forums, Slainte

  22. You should keep your stuff, take a break, then come back for I21 or I22.

Or, you can post on the forums and not really interact. It's much less one-on-one than an in-game setting. In game, you can be asked something and you pretty much have to fashion a reply then and there. Interaction is direct and really can't be avoided w/o consequences (like being kicked from the team).

    On a forum, you can muster up the energy to post something and then fade back into the background. Your post may or may not be responded to, and if it is you don't have to reply back to that immediately, or even at all. The old "I'll hang up and listen to your answer."

    This is probably part of the reason I've never cultivated a friends list in-game. I have no problems posting here, I'm never put on the spot (heck, most of my posts are swiftly passed over and forgotten). With a friends list you log in and you invite interaction. Even if it's just pleasantries, you NEED to respond or else you look like a jerk, even if you don't really feel like interacting or chatting. And if you turn down invites from friends too often, there's really no reason for them to keep you on their friends list anyway.

    There's also the group setting of a forum. Or a chat (and on a full team, this is actually less of an issue, at least for me). I'm part of an online community where we have a devoted chat room. I am very active in the chat; there's a lot of conversation going on and it is easy to play off of what others are saying. Like a forum, there are many voices. To chat one-on-one though? A lot tougher. Even with folks I've known for a while. Like talking on the phone (which I've never liked). It's all you. The conversation goes bad or is stilted, you're the one at fault. You're the one under the gun, you're the idiot. So, rather than risk looking like an idiot and tarnishing how folks feel about you, you avoid those situations.

    (note: I am not professing to speak for all introverts here, this is just my strange brand of introversion)
    But as sad as it is to suffer frm that kind of mental block, it's unreasonable to expect the developers of an MMO to design their game around people with that condition - to maximize the return on their work, they need to create a game that appeals to the majority of MMO players.
