I back up the comments that it's weird to go from "Natural" to Nature.

Rachel, please stop making me agree with GG.

Maybe... But Arming Longbow would not.

Quote:Also, the NATO treaty is about everyone helping if one member is attacked, so with Arachnos attacking America, the other NATO members are required to help - but rather than sending their own superheroes, their governments might decide to help supply Freedom Corps instead.Originally Posted by Eiko-chan
First off, I'm not aware that NATO is in the business of selling its services. I see no indication that this is different in the CoX universe.
Secondly, the use of the phrase "provided by" rather than "supplied by" or "purchased from" implies a more pro bono arrangement. Longbow is part of Freedom Corps, and thus does not have a corporate bankroll to operate off of (and the Coles are not the Waynes of CoX). -

Technically... http://www.nato.int/issues/arms_disa...rol/index.html They shouldn't be giving arms to ANYONE.

Suppliers don't always -give- training or weapons away.
And almost certainly not to people who don't work for them, directly.
They could just be -buying- the stuff, rather than getting freebies. In which case it's not supported, but supplied.
I don't think NATO is really in the arms-dealing business
They're a military and political alliance that can operate otuside the UN, and with the constant Arachos-sponsored atatcks on American soil, it's only natural that they'd help Freedom Corps fight back. -

NATO doesn't have authority to invade nations without a UN mandate. The UN still exists in the CoX universe, and it recognises the Etoile Isles as a sovereign nation.
Athough the UN is probably well aware of the revolving doors on the cells at the Zig, so by the time they passed a resolution about Recluse being arrested, he'd already have escaped
Perhaps Lady Gray should get Vanguard to step in and stop it?Quote:Therefore, NATO troops are invading a sovereign nation in violation of UN mandates.
It's not because it's American heroes invading - it's because Arachnos are well known across the world as major jerksQuote:The only reason there's no huge outcry is because it's the US doing the invading.

Few bought it because it was overpriced. This pack will suffer the same fate.

Have you tried chaning the updater name to remove the "EU" part?

Longbow are backed by NATO - that's quite official
And as the Rogue Isles aren't a part of NATO, there's not much they can do to try and stop Longbow carrying out their mission. -
Quote:Well, excluding WOW players, yeah.Originally Posted by CaptainMoodswing
...and there is no such thing as "unnatural" since human beings are part of nature. l

I think she's too strong-willed to be corrupted like that

Just 'cause they make it doesn't mean I have to buy it.

He was talking about the Primal Earth Miss Liberty. Who is a scum-sucking pile of garbage who throws away the lives of promising individuals by the hundred every hour or so.
Civilians are invincibleQuote:That's not even including the fact that she equips her troops with Flamethrowers and releases them into heavily populated areas with a lot of flammable debris lying around.
That current ruler is a supervillain - he's there to be taken downQuote:Shall we go into the fact that she's running a private army into a sovereign nation recognized and protected by the UN to try and depose the current ruler, regardless of the legitimacy of his rule..?
Stalkers keep stealing the launch codes.Quote:It's amazing the Nukes haven't already started flying between the US and the Etoille, all things considered.
Heroes go to the Rogue Isles quite a lot to stop the latest mosutache-twirling antics of Reclsue and his thugs - like it's not just the STF, there are the Tip missions like the one to rescue prisoners from Arachnos that sends us right into Grandville to free them.Quote:She's literally invading another country without governmental consent or backing. Intra-governmental treaties don't even exist for the world of hurt she's inviting on herself in a legal sense.
Recluse is a criminal, so whatever rules or laws he makes don't count - if people in the Rgiue Isles need help, then we can go there and help them.
Not all the time, of course - that'd kinda weaken the red side atmosphere if every second superpowered person you saw there was a hero
Well, he's tried to kill lots of heroes - it's kind of his main hobby - it's just that he's a bit of a failure, that's allQuote:True proof that Steven Richter is a comicbook villain rather than a real person: Miss liberty hasn't been arrested and/or killed.

Quote:But apart from that, there's nothing else free in it.Originally Posted by CaptainMoodswing
That's not true. Issue 19 and probably 20 include content that do not require Going Rogue.
More tip missions, merged Trains, inspirations in every hospital, 2 free auras, Calvin Scott Task force in oroborous, One brand new story arc for each side, alternate power animations, inherent fitness, the ability to log out to character select, and new badges are ALL FREE. -
Quote:The next booster pack will be a lawn defense systemOriginally Posted by Suzumebachi
Maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy, my 60 month vet badge is a week away, but these booster packs look less and less value with each one.
**wanders off grumbling about how we used to get this stuff included in our monthly sub**

Just their employment terminated? Or would that go for their life too?

I dunno, this one seems rather skimpy as well

Please, if you're not going to read the thread, at least read the Dev and Community Digest before you post.

I'd like it if it was awarded for having any combination of two anniversary badges - or maybe even three - like you could get it if you had the 2nd, 5th and 6th anniversary abdge, or 3rd, 4th and 5th, for example.

and now we get 5 capes and 5 auras.

A hero isn't a proper hero unless they're wearing a cape

Are you wearing one of the costumes when you're knocking on the doors?

Wait, if you aren't going to use them why are you going to buy the pack?

His GR website bio just calls him Marcus Cole or Tyrant, and mentions him as President, Consul and Emperor.
