  1. We had actually beat Jurassik and were clearing the remainder of the room, and we got the boot.

    Though, ironically, is still eligible for the moon zone. So, how are the treats in the forbidden land?

    The major selling point of the Sentinal is that is exports Mids builds directly from the game. Meaning you no longer have to remember what levels you picked your powers or when you got them slotted, because it's all done automatically. Thus, you can export the build, make a few small swaps, and follow the Mids layout to rebuild your character almost exactly the way he was before, with only the changes you made, such as swapping fitness out.
  4. Does he give you access to the Club? I know his arc is where you come across the pasword, but it's Ashley's second arc that finally gets you in. Or at least I though.
  5. I'm just curious which side said character will be on.
  6. I'm curious, for those that have run this arc, were you able to successfully complete the 'fire drill' mission?
  7. I've got one character with a complicated name, Professor Nutronious, which is pronounced /New-TROW-nee-us/.

    And it's not exactly a pronunciation thing, but a lot of people ask me if it's M AYE Abrahms, or M ONE Abrahms. It's the former, actually his first and middle initials, (Michael Ian) though the allusion is intentional. Also, the last name is pronounced like the real world Abrams Tank.

    I would love to see a weekend Rikti Raid.

    Eco.
    Yes, your character will go into the mission with Vigilante intent. Unfortunately, in several cases you will end up doing things that could have Phipps cringe.

    But you will stop the bad guy. At all costs.

    Personally, it was: "Please make Incarnate abilities more important than another item on a grocery list."

    I liked the idea that Incarnate Status could be won through one of the end game TFs (the very same ones that drop Incarnate Salvage). I'm happy with the arc. I did not enjoy walking down to the nearest Merit Vendor and dropping a handful of merits for God-Like power.

    But that was just me.

    Vigilante Woes

    I think, after running several of these new Tips during the Testing phase, that the goal was more to allow Vigilantes and Rogues to ease into their new role, rather than the abrupt jolt of immediately running the kinds of missions Heroes would run.

    I, too, was disappointed that I couldn't earn Vigilante points in the Isles, but after seeing how they were written, I'm actually a lot happier than I was without them. Before, a Vigilante would dive right into heinous and pointless crimes because those were the Villain missions. Now, they are still running what they think are Vigilante actions (busting criminals) but they're also attacking civilians and even other Heroes.

    Point. Of course, that leaves out the discussion of whether dual boxing players are considered solo or duo.

    Not quite. They can now get into the shard at level 1, and if they have a higher level friend, that person can defeat the Overseers for the badge.

    I can't help with the anime reference, but here's More Dakka. (warning, link leads to tvtropes)

    Given the identity of the 'voice' of the article, I'd say that was probably intentional.

    Either of these are good. Anything as long as it's not avoiding the overpowered space weapon and letting it hit the Earth.

    I'm just disappointed that she even considered dodging the laser in the first place. Real Heroes would fly INTO the laser beam, to prevent it from striking the Earth. Not only that, but they would fly up the beam, smash though the weapon itself and straight through the guy operating it. ESPECIALLY in this case, where it's a robot running the orbital base, so she wouldn't even have to worry about explosive decompression.

    I think that's the same growling demon, actually. He's got two heals when fully upgraded that sound like this, and one of them is a PBAoE heal...on auto.

    EDIT: Maybe this a question for Manticore to answer?
    To get back to this point, I remember the Zigtags mentioned specifically only when the mission tells you that you are bringing a specific criminal in for interrogation. Otherwise, it's pretty much left to the player to decide if they apply them as they attack, or just leave the criminals to die where they fall. I do remember them being described as very small, roughly the size of a flash drive chip.

    However, I also know of more than a couple Assault Rifle Blasters over the years who 'wrote in' that they had the tags built into their rifle rounds.

  21. The Cairo Queen?

    On one hand, I'm tempted to see, on the other, I want the suspense...
  22. Any plans to post a list of names of folks who did send in info, in case there are others who's forms didn't get in right?

    People keep saying this. When the devs came out with the I18 rundown, didn't it include all five of the costume sets we got? I know the dances got pulled for that party pack, but did the costume get moved to the paid portion as well?

    I have a friend who has an active account, yet hasn't gotten GR, but I keep forgetting to get him to log in to see for myself.

    Silver Mantis makes Eiko feel dirty. And she's a homicidal psychopath.
    You haven't seen Mantis at her worst until you see what she did to the Hero Grey's talking about.
