Bumping this. SIGNED.

I imagine everyone at Paragon is, too.

I will miss Omi.

I will miss him so much.

Add me on NA: Rienuaa

I will miss you guys.

Anyone else?

Hit_Streak, I wanted to thank you for giving me one of these during the Mako event. I waited all night, and I am glad to see my karma evened itself out.

However, my trollish nature forces me to say this...

You all lost The Game.

What bugs me is people saying Dr. Who rather than Doctor Who. It also bugs me when people call The Doctor "Dr. Who" instead of, you know, The Doctor.

I'm a whovian, and finding these made my day. I want to know who came up with this!

Is this the TARDIS?

'Cause the TARDIS is blue.

(Okay, but seriously, nice ;D)

Alright! That's what I wanted to hear. Thanks for the help, guys.

I knew you devs wouldn't let me down. :3

I am just really disappointed, I guess. I've never been let down by the devs before, and I kind of want to keep that streak. Maybe someone spilled coffee on the router at their office, I don't know. I don't like the sense of incompleteness this situation has.

I've never been able to participate in one of these events, and the time I did, they leave and never come back.

I'm not angry, I just want a red explain what actually happened. I don't know if it _was_ network issues. They could have just wanted to leave, and never come back. I want to know what happened.

To be clear, this is not me asking for the aura. I probably wasn't going to win anyway. :P

Actually, this happened while giving out the aura codes. No one got anything.

Bump for justice. I want an explanation.

[Admin] NCsoft_Hit Streak: ((Okay, seem shtat we're having some network issues at Paragon Studios. Zwill and Freitag will be back ASAP!

This was 2 hours ago. I have been waiting in Pocket D 7 for two hours.

Why.

EDIT: Three hours now.

Alright, then. So 'Shade weapons are not lore-friendly?

Please explain Romulus. That is all.

He clearly uses a sword and shield. The sword and shield in question are clearly purple and fluffy-ish. The shield is even unlockable. It is even explained how he got it; when he became Nictus his sword could channel the purple too.

Can we just avoid the question of lore? Because it is clearly in-game already, just not available to players.

UPDATE: Due to the direction the thread is taking, most of my OP is obsolete. New suggestion: More "Nictus-y" weapons. Discuss.

Okay, when I play my Warshade, I am in awe at how well done the class is. I love everything about the class, except for the PvP-ness, but that can't be fixed.

I do have a suggestion, though.

Being a Warshade seems like a curse on the character. It looks like your character is possessed by something purple and fluffy and not very nice. The ability to have an optional one handed weapon as the source of the purple would be very cool.

Picture it: A character in robes, with no visible powers and a slight build. He pulls out a fancy sword... which cause his eyes to glow purple. He can shoot stuff from the sword, and hold it aloft to drain power or heal. To shift, he holds the sword tightly and purple fluff explodes as he shapeshifts in the characteristic Warshade way. Picture firing bolts of purple from a cursed sword, or from a tech sword, rather than hands. It would work well for Peacebringers, too, and could explain the Natural origin in a different way. Game lore-wise, just make it so the Nictus or Kheld is trapped in a cyst-like thing in the weapon or something.

I think the optional (This is important. It is an alternate power animation, that, when selected, unlocks the one-handed costume part*) addition of something like that would make pretty much any Warshade player happy. The only issue I can see is lore-wise and the additional time of pulling out a weapon when shifting. To fix the shifting issue, just make it so that if the shapeshift toggle is dropped, the character would automatically be holding the weapon. Honestly, I don't know what to do lore-wise rather than the previously mentioned "Cyst in weapon herp derp" crud. I'm not very happy with the lore fix so far. Perhaps one of you could suggest something, and I'll update the OP.

The secondary, Umbral Aura, could still come from the weapon. Shields would look the same, just have a different cast animation (perhaps an intricate weapon-waving thing). Shadow Step would be a thrust of the weapon through the portal, Shadow Slip would be a focused look at the weapon with a bigger portal to jump through. Starless Step would also be a "look at the weapon as it glows purple" thing. If anyone has any powers that they thing wouldn't work with this, please let me know.

As for weapons, it should be a separate costume set, and really needs to have both arcane and tech and plain choices. Color tintable is a must. It needs to be diverse, or this doesn't really work.

If anyone has any questions or suggestions, please let me know. I will update the OP with any fantastic ones.

Sorry about the wall of text.

*Alternatively, have it as an alternate primary and secondary, but that might confuse newer players. I'm trying to avoid that.
