    Deceived?

    DECEIVED?!?

    Do you even know what that word means?

    Seriously. No... really... do you know what it means?

    Even if, and that's a big "if", they knew these enhancements were coming when they announced the pre-purchase early access bonus, there is no deception involved.

    As to whom they chose to partner with, I'm sure there are just as many, if not more people, that dislike Best Buy (like me) as there are those who dislike GameStop. And Amazon is not a "brick and mortar" retailer, which is what they are clearly targeting.

    Bah... why am I even surprised? This [WARNING EXPLICIT LYRICS] is par for the course for ER.

    What a load of [WARNING EXPLICIT LYRICS]. Given that I've bought every single edition and add-on to this game, and have never let my sub lapse (since the day after initial release), I will put my "loyalty" up against anyone's. And, for financial reasons, I did not pre-purchase GR. I have, however, already pre-ordered it (before the bonus stuff was announced).

    So get off of your high horse.

    An' that's all I got to say 'bout that.
    Agreed. That's my major reason for wanting an off-line capability. Though instances like this are not limited to server maintenance. A simple server or internet connection hiccup can do the trick. I've lost several hours of my life this way (granted, I'm ridiculously meticulous/obsessive about my costumes).

    Foolishly the devs have handed us inmates quite a number of keys.

    Because having super-powers means you need bigger challenges than people with swords and sorcery.

    CORRECT

    Removing XP means it's not an alternative leveling path.

    CORRECT

    This current patch, also means it's not an alternative leveling path.

    WRONG

    CoH2 registered?

    I highly doubt that any actual work is being done on the project, because it would be silly to wait so long to trademark the name.
    Additionally, there's no guarantee that it will ever get off the ground.

    Having said that, I certainly hope it does and I hope it's glorious!
    Agreed.

Taking a controversial stance, and then proceeding to beat your neighbors over the head with it while proclaiming the sinful evils of the nonbelievers is the AMERICAN WAY! Instead, I am dissapointed that you and your fellow moderators would choose to take the neutral route, like some kind of pansy swiss frenchmen, sipping their hot cocoa in their fancy igloos while playing with their didgerie doo's and games of Go.

    I, for one, will not stand for this agenda of neutrality that you and your fellow Liberal Creampuffs (Mmmm, liberal creampuffs) are pushing on us rightous, god fearing players (Who pay 15 dollars a month, I might add). Therefore, I say take a stand and tell those heathen bakers that Pie remains in the classroom, taught by rightous god fearing Mathmeticians, and should NOT be pushed onto our innocent children.

    Or wont you think of the CHILDREN?!

    Sincerely,
    Liquid Horatio X
    OK while I liked the original, this response actually had me busting out laughing... at work.

    My dearest Liquid Horatio X,

    Should you persist in this work-termination-inducing behavior, you will leave me with little option but to get litigious.

    Consider yourself warned, and on notice.

    Sincerely,


    The Venerable Rev. Hallowed. DDS

    The "Horatio" only makes an appearnace when he's being overly formal... or wants something... which is often the same thing.

    And spanwed the term "The Freem 15".

    Hmmm... I wonder how many of the Freem Fifteen are still with Paragon?
  23. Cute.

    Love the target on the sidekick's chest. Reminds me of "Decoy" from Tiny Toons.

    Also, interesting to see the origin-point for the electricity attack on the clockwork.

I'm not one to trash a set just because it's not what I specifically wanted, but I'd be hard-pressed to hid my disappointment too. Until they say specifically "Staff Melee" I'm taking the pessimistic route. (Ideally of course everyone will win and there will be both.)
    Other than the first poster above, where was anything mentioned about polearms/staves?
