  1. Video 1: Awesome!

    Video 2: Also awesome, sad we'll never get to see it in works.

    Video 3 : Well played, well played. Your arcs were my favorite Dr A. Best of luck to you where-ever you go.
  2. I'm pretty happy with the new costumes for the skulls. Makes them look unique. And sometimes when you're a two bit thug getting into death magic, you end up with silly club hair. It's a danger of the profession.
  3. FPAE! First post after eeek!

    O hai eeek
  4. I like playing my tank on big teams. The point of team tanking, as I see it, is to gather mobs into a tight package to maximize AoE damage.
  5. Super powers. They can probably rebuild Nova Praetoria in a few days. Hopefully with all the chaos, the populace were evacuated too.
  6. I would very much like the eb's to scale up to AV level as well when appropriate.
  7. Congradulations to the Devs! You have finally made my Stalker what he was meant to be. A squishy Scrapper with crazy high on meth damage.

    It may have taken 15 issues, but by George, you did it!

    Give yourself a pat on the back from me.
  8. You'll get Staff Fighting in a Tuesday release in a few weeks. Stop crying girls. It'll come when it comes.
  9. They really need to give you some early missions where you interact with Crey and Venessa Devore on a positive note so that when they end up being super villians you feel betrayed/surprised ect ect
  10. State regulations require me to inform you this holiday event is lookingpretty good

    Heavy metal covers are awesome. I approve of this.
  12. From a certain angle and if you color it black the waterfall single aura looks alot like animate hair....
  13. I personally find the iTrails fun. I enjoy leading them, I enjoy the challenge they represent. Currently, the trials seem to get run quite regularly. I don't think this will change come Issue 22, the people who like trials and want to get their irewards faster, will still run trials. The 100% against trials group seems to be the minority. People will continue to do what they find fun.

    Now if after issue 22 it becomes impossible to find a trial team, I'll admit changes need to be made. We'll see.
  14. The old origin arcs were garbage and it's best that they are gone.
  15. Maybe they'll replace Statesman as the game mascot with a sexi-fied Miss Liberty.

    So was it a marketing decision (gate the Incarnate content only to those who bought Going Rogue, then come up with a reason why it has to be Praetorian) or was it the idea all along? If it was the first, I can cut the writers some minor amount of slack; if it was the second then the idea was idiotic mary-suing of the highest order, retconning a years-old story just for the sake of "but the Well has to select a champion, and I want it to be this one!". Literally anything could have been chosen. Or, better yet, have the Well not be sentient and come up with cosmic-order entities that don't have some random justification of "we have to have a champion!".
    The Reason why Praetoria is being used as the Incarnate content is as follows:

    A gaming developement rule is any new project should be used in as often as possible in order to be green lighted.

    Alot of time and developement went into the Going Rogue art assets. These art assets are now being used for the Incarnate trials, because they have these very attractive maps and they want to use them more.

    If the Wells Champion could be anyone, why not Cole? He was a good of a choice as anyone.

    I can accept that Praetoria is a threat, however the only justification for it being Incarnate content is that the Praetorians have incarnate powers.

    Since that's the case it could damn well be the Hellions for all the difference it'd make.

    Heck considering how much of Oranbega is beneath Paragon why couldn't the CoT get Incarnated up?

    oh that's right there is no reason.

    Praetoria itself has no reason to be the incarnate content.
    Name one enemy group that does have a reason to be Incarnate Content? Archanos is the only one I can think of.

    Get over it, GG, and admit the trials are not very good; are not the ultimate creative effort of the dev staff & are definitely not for everyone.
    That is ultimately a subjective opinion. Some people like trials, some people don't. It would be a very odd world if everyone was the same.

    Just as Positron's apparently smart enough to invent all his gadgets and toys but lacks the common sense to build the impressive, powerful, and apparently 100% safe and environmentally friendly reactors his Praetorian counterpart did.
    It's quite possible he just doesn't have the resources to build the same kind of Power Plant on Primal Earth.
  20. Welcome to MMO's in general. It's the nature of the beast.

    Apparently, collecting badge objectives gives the entire league a better chance at higher tier rewards. Considering how easy it is to get 1/2 of the badges each BAF run, this makes Uncommons drop more often.

  23. Really enjoyed the new arc, I expect to see those Rulu-Shin costume pieces in the store soon! I'd also love to see more out of this villian group, I've always wanted to see more with Rularuu.

    The use of the Abyss map made no sense.
    Well the dialogue box voice asked for a portal out of the base when you arrive, and he didn't care where it led. He should have been more specific I suppose, as the Zealot dude says they are pretty much trapped between your Hero and the Hamidon, and they made the right choice to try to fight by you rather than Hami.

    They could have used another map I suppose, but the "Oh crap is that...?!" reaction I had upon seeing Hami was worth it's use I think.

    That's where my question is coming from; I'm just wondering if someone thought the same thing and made it the official Rularuu symbol as a retcon.
    Considering Rularuu and its' inner workings are vague at best and there hasn't been an "official Rularuu symbol" mentioned anywhere else in the game, it doesn't really count as a retcon.
  24. I've convined an old friend of mine to return to the game and play premium. Now, we used to play both on Virtue and Victory and he would like to have a few of his seven slots on each server.

    But he tells me the game informs him all his slots will be unlocked on only one server. Is this true or did my friend misread the information?
  25. <_< Hey does anyone else think that the Death Mage kinda looks like No-Heart from the Carebear cartoons? (and don't get me wrong, No-Heart was the man, he hated caring)
