  1. That probably happened years ago...
  2. This is referring to boosted Enhancements.

    A place where freeloaders can't cram up discussions with requests for more free stuff that they don't have to pay for. The beta program in general was repurposed as a sort of thank-you for paying subscribers.

    Yeah, go figure, in a thread titled "Have we figured out who the Letter writer is?"... What, did you expect the answer to be a resounding no?

    I guess that answers my previous question.

    It's Darrin Wade and company.

    Not since the non-disclosure agreements stopped coming around it hasn't been. Welcome to VIP Subscriber Beta!

    New Dark Astoria contains 8 new Exploration badges and 0 old Exploration badges. You have to go to Echo for the old ones.

    4 days WTF. Last time I did it, I switched from full Hero to full Villain in less than 24 hours.

    It helps to keep spare Morality Missions on-hand for just such an occasion.
  10. It reeks of a Paragon Market purchase.
  11. I'm still cautious about the wolf actually being the Umbra Beast. Darkness Control has another summon power, and it may be a Shade.

    LFG expansion?

    Yes. That's exactly what that means.

    \o/
  14. Ooh, on closer inspection, Steel Canyon and Cap au Diable may be 10-20. Is that "mid level"?
  15. Already when I train up to 20 I get spammed with contact introductions from the likes of Darrin Wade, Henri Dumont, Dean MacArthur and Vincent Ross. The 20-30 level range is duly saturated with mission content.

    What we need is more 30-40 stuff, but apparently Issue 22's giving us more 20-30 stuff.
  16. Uh... er... hm... If you're a badger, wouldn't switching to full Hero temporarily be acceptable? It's worth a badge and everything.

    That would require me to take my hand off of the mouse. )-:

    I use that for lots of stuff, even managing inventory mid-fight. I can't justify using the number pad for reasons that don't amount to much of a benefit (if any).
  18. A Hero's Epic is much faster and contains all the same AVs except for Siege. Anti-Matter remains missing as before. Run that arc, a BAF and a Keyes and you should have it.

    So you'll be Speed Boosting without asking, and not attacking? Bah! BAH!

    Personally, when I don't open with Venom Grenade, I'll hit Build Up - Shatter - Crowd Control then either Pulverize or Poisonous Ray. The knockdown in Crowd Control is quite nice, and it's a 180-degree arc.

    Though I wouldn't write out Earth for Fiery just because of DPS, at least not ONLY for DPS. Fiery doesn't have a spare hold.

    While Dominators were designed in the days before the Invention system with its intense Recharge bonuses, I do remember Castle pointing out specifically that when the Issue 15 revision to Dominators came around, he wanted to have as little impact on permadom players as possible. It would have been a prime time to cut them off at the knees, but our devs made certain to allow us to participate in that playstyle anyway.

    If he could, no one would ever be anything else. Drop the ninja assassin part and you can get close.

    Only Shatter does "Executioner's Strike." The rest are "Stealth Strike." Either way, it's just a fancy word for "Critical."

    Bingo. I quite strongly believe that Cloaking Device takes so long to return to Hide because the Bane Spider Soldier was specifically designed to not play like a Stalker. The Hide is supplementary; trying to turn it into the primary functionality is an exercise in futility. Players who want to play like Stalkers should roll Stalkers.

    For what it's worth, you still have Placate in your toolbox that will give you Hidden any time you want it.

    Vidoc on MMorpg

    I'm with Zombie Man on this one. This game hasn't had a Mary Sue since Statesman was nerfed to level 53. In-game Positron's always been painted as a limited individual (as opposed to Jacky McJackerson), and every time you fight any signature hero redside, they don't just lose, but lose bad.
