Samuel_Tow was asking about tribal cow-people earlier so I decided to make a pretty standard tribal design with one:



I was going to try one with more of a colorful baggy theme except I noticed that the cow head (maybe all the animal heads) really overlap onto the chest bits and bleed over the symbols, etc. At least they did on Baggy, I didn't try Tights. So, anyway, I messed with it a little but wasn't getting the effect I wanted and gave up for the time being.

Do a Khan on my two incarnates. Luckily, I've always liked Khan so it's no great shakes.

I have a KM/SR scrapper at 44 who has been great fun and will spend most of my game time on him. It's nice because I know what I want for his slottings and powers up through 50 and so I'm still looking forward to each level. It's a definite departure from his early levels where I sort of hated him until lvl 21 or so but wanted to see if he would bloom. He did in spades.

In real life, I'm taking on the role of godfather to my nephew when he's baptized on Sunday. I plan on spending the party afterward saying "On this, the day of my nephew's baptism" as many times as possible which will be a lot more fun for me than for anyone else

Poor Lusca won't know what hit her

I hope they clean up that gun barrel. Right now it looks kind of silly as a giant stick poking out. But it's still Beta and all that, yadda yadda...

I can sympathize with some of the people who don't want to form a TF as leader. There's a number of people out there rather opinionated about how a TF should be run ("why aren't we stealthing this?" "someone should run to Room X and port us", etc) and if you haven't done the TF before or haven't done it often, you might not want to be "in charge" and risk not knowing what you're doing. For a while, I was playing a defender and every time I did the Khan, I was told at the second mission "Stay here and wait for mission complete". I had no idea what that mission was even about because I only ever saw the inside of the little ruined building and the red zone out box. Now that I think about it, a lot of TFs are sort of like that in that the new guy just winds up along for the ride and doesn't really know what's going on until he's done it a few times.

I've personally gotten enough experience that I feel confident running the various task forces and am not particuarly concerend with the occassional malcontent. But enough Task Force Horror Stories start with "For one thing, the leader..." that I can sympatize with those who find it daunting and would rather join an existing one even if it means a long wait.

I only have two incarnates as my other, earlier, 50's are poorly enough built and enhanced that I've kind of set them aside rather than gone through the effort of "fixing" them. Those two incarnates, a tank and a controller, haven't had any trouble getting teams right off the bat but they're not scrappers or brutes so I guess they don't count

So very signed. I was actually thinking about this just last night; "If they'll let us use existing robotic arms asymmetrically, why not allow us to use ALL arms this way?"

This up on Test?

It'll be the booster pack "hook" to get all those people who don't want to make "Tiger Boy"

Every time I roll gold, I get a Snipe-y McSniperton: Chance to Suck IO for my 3500 tickets.

Apparently this is because other people are making up the curve

If I roll out a handful of 20 lvl 10-14 bronzes, I almost always get at least one Steadfast 3%. Your mileage may vary. No guarantees implied.

You'll also get lots of junk, some Karma +KB Protections and the occasional... erm... whatever the low level +Regen IO is called. Doctored Wounds? There's a ToHit Buff set in that range that's worth some money as well but, again, the name escapes me.

I can't access YouTube from work for the trailer. Is the pack all "Lion-Head Man", "Wolf-Head Man", "Eagle-Head Man", etc? In other words, does it seems to be 100% anthropomorphic body parts?

On the negative side, the one-off mission Mrs. McIntyre had with him has been eliminated.

On the positive side, the new Anti-Matter arc is much, much, much less annoying than the old one. The "Kill Alls" were replaced with "Defeat leader(s)" which made all the difference.

Head-Slappingly funny story. The other night I got to level 42 on my scrapper and sighed deeply at having to do Anti-Matter. Then I remembered that my controller still had the old AM arc on her so I thought I'd switch over, get in the mission and bug a friend to bridge over my scrapper. I didn't remember what mission I had left her at and thought she was a couple missions away from the end. The old arc is down off Paragon Wiki (maybe it's under Ouro and I missed it?) so I couldn't check the mission titles and just auto-completed to save time. Yup... "You received 42 merits!..."

So besides wasting my chance to bridge the scrapper in, I ALSO never got the AM kill on my Controller. This was when I said "Screw it", set my scrapper to -1/x0 and was pleasently surprised to complete the entire arc in under 90 minutes. That was a whole lot of ninja-running to objectives, knocking them out and exiting. A couple didn't require me to defeat a single mob. It might be more of a challenge to take the Elite Bosses with another AT but it's nothing like the multi-day slog it used to be.

I've been on failed Khans but they're never spectacular failures. Just eight people pounding away at Reichsman for a half hour and not getting him down far enough to trigger the first AV. Or finally getting the first AV and finding Reichsman totally healed before we finish it, leading people say say "I don't have four hours for this, sorry".

I've never seen people this interested in running Reichsman before

I totally sympathize with your problems however, having never seen this before (and never having had it happen to me), I had to laugh when I read it.

"Oh, you have got to be [ahem]-ing kidding me..."
