  1. Like when the military brass call something the "XM25 Counter Defilade Target Engagement System" and the troops call it "The Punisher".

    REALLY??? I guess I IMAGINED running a level 50 character with lower level characters SIDEKICKED. And don't even try to tell us that sidekicks are part of the mechanics and not the lore. The Vindicators are mostly sidekicks of the main heroes.
  3. Oh, hell yes.
    An MEU includes M1 tanks, mortars, howitzers and over 25 aircraft.

  5. Pay attention to what powers people are running. I used to play an illusion controller a lot and I would routinely scout ahead. I can't tell you how many times I would run into a room and someone would follow me and die instantly.

    Me: What were you doing?
    Corpse: I was following YOU.
    Me: I'm invisible.
    Corpse: . . .


    Pay attention to the power icons. I was recently soloing tip missions on a dual pistols/devices blasters. I was set to a large team size and came to a room with a double spawn. Okay, I set up a bunch of trip mines for when they would inevitably chase me into the hall. Then I walk into the midst of them, with a stealth IO plus Cloaking Device, actually remembering to check my stealth radius combat monitor. No problem so far. I go plant a Time Bomb right in the middle of the huge group and they immediately attack. As my character starts shooting in every direction, I realize I hit Hail of Bullets. How could I make that mistake? The icons are a little similar . . . and Time Bomb is 'missing' from my tray because it's a tiny little dot, still recharging from my last use. Oops.

    And what's 'efficient' to one person might not be the fastest or easiest way. For example, when I was getting the RV Pillboxes I actually defeated them - and only the neutral ones. This took a lot longer but the rewards were huge, especially on double XP weekends. Killing two birds with one stone made it efficient.

    And when SCSI was introduced, they tried to get the consumers to pronounce it as 'sexy' but we all decided to pronounce it 'scuzzy'.
    Darn those unpredictable consumers!

    Don't get me started. Even taking into account that it's 'new' and 'different', the new launch screen sucks like a tornado.

    And that's fine. I haven't seen anyone taking issue with that. Or, at least, not anyone with even half a brain. The problem is people, unlike you, who collapse into a fit of self-entitled whining, demand refunds for everyone and/or go full-on nerdrage.

    The servers are in Texas.

    Yeah..... either they should give us something, or they should get lambasted when they DO give us something. Under which scenario are they not cads and blackguards?

    Same. Every server I tried (not all of them) was okay EXCEPT Freedom and Justice.

    Server load two orders of magnitude greater? Oh, you meant to say "number of users". Completely different and tosses your point out the window. Carry on.

  20. And you can also do the long-term subscriptions. So it only costs me around $12 per month.

    Oh, hell no. That would be an absolute outrage to enact such a dramatic change to an existing powerset.

    Wisps aura gone?

    Just off the top of my head, is the Wisp aura treated as a 'regular' aura where you can only access it after you unlock auras at level 30? The booster packs you paid money for make their costume parts (capes, auras) available at level 1.
