    Of course you do, but I misunderstood. Zwil's list mentions a Elemental Order "Jacket". I got a Chest Piece that I thought would go under the Jacket, but it turns out that that was the "Jacket", and oh yeah, it shows up under "Robes" in the costume editor.

    I still needed to buy over 30 packs to unlock everything.

    Most expensive costume set EVER!!!

    Wow.

    I found out from MP on chat that I already had all the pieces. I was searching for a "jacket" because I couldn't see it under jackets, but apparently it was under ROBES the WHOLE TIME!!!111

    I bought 21 more packs than I needed to... and I didn't get the Wolf.

    Last I heard the costume pieces don't drop in-game but ATOs do. What else is included in the packs and do they drop in-game?
    I believe ATOs can be purchased with reward merits in I22. I didn't hear that they dropped at all. Everything else you can buy on the Market for less overcall cost.

    The costume set can ONLY be purchased via Super Packs.

    We're up to 4,240 points, not including the discounts for buying 12 packs.

    Still. Need. The. Jacket.

    Thanks, now I really want a unisex old-timey bartender outfit... complete with armbands!

    Points will do fine. So far I think I've purchased 8 packs, so 640 points. Oddly enough, I'm missing the Very Rare Back Detail, and ALL of the "Uncommons". The problem is each pack only has one Uncommon, and I keep getting the non-costume rewards...

    I have a bunch of ATOs, but thankfully they're all Stalker or Defender.

    A Purple to whoever guesses how much cash Mental Giant will have to blow on Super Packs to unlock the whole Elemental Order set.
  9. This is the most expensive costume set EVER.

    But I'll end up with a stack of ATIOs at the end...

    I have a really hard time understanding this view. Do you buy all costume packs outright or piecemeal? I would assume piecemeal, otherwise you'd be paying for female costume parts you don't use anyway.

    Since you're finally rolling a female toon in I22, this doesn't even hold water, but I still have trouble grasping how giving people who do have female characters something extra is unfair to you.

    What part of this statement is not awesome?
  12. My guess is May or June.

    Double Incarnate Rewards would be nice as well.

    Lori seems to suspect something deeper, but my guess is that recent events are making Rick's group loathe to get that involved with Herschel's family. It's pretty obvious she got Infected somehow, and I hope they at least keep armed watch on her so we don't have more casualties.
  14. Rick is a Badass.

    That is all.

  16. Red side.

    I'll get that message up tonight if John doesn't beat me to it.
  17. Interesting interview with Kirkman about Season 2.5.

    Of course, he blames the leaden pace of the first part of Season 2 on Darabont:

    Quote:
    Consensus on the first half of the season is that it had a much different pace than the first season. Did you just want to slow the storytelling down?

    It appears that the first half of second season moves a little bit slower than maybe it should. And I think that’s a byproduct of building to our midseason finale and knowing where we were going to end up, and putting all our pieces in place, and trying to tell the story in a somewhat cinematic kind of way, which may or may not work in episodic television.

    I will say that’s one of the holdovers from Frank Darabont. He really wanted to take things slow and spend a lot of time dealing with different things. He was very much a big fan of the slow burn. Because he’s no longer on the show and Glen Mazzara took over as showrunner, he’s a big fan of much more fast-paced storytelling. So I think there will be somewhat of a shift when we come back with the season where we’re going to be a little more action-packed and are going to move at kind of a breakneck pace compared to the first few episodes.

    And I think, looking at whole season together, when you see the first two parts, you’ll see that the first half of season kind of works, because we were building towards an event. And once that event happens — when Sophia emerges from the barn — things just continue to escalate. So it will make sense and the whole season will be cool to watch as a whole. But there is going to be some drastically different pacing issues now that Glen Mazzara is running the show.
  18. The WoW clone comment is hilarious. Kids these days! Remember when everything was an EverQuest clone? Or an Ultima Online clone? Technically, the first MMO to go 3D was Meridian 59, so I guess we're all M59 clones!

    I was looking forward to this, but somehow missed the premiere.

    I just caught up on Hulu, and I'm intrigued. I thought it was going to be more sci-fi than supernatural, but so far it's working. The premise would make a hell of a Beyond the Supernatural campaign.

    Wow, that's a terrible idea.
  21. It's not... Red side or Blue? What's it going to be?!
  22. Now, if the contest was to get a pic of one of my toons in a Metallic dress... where's my Purple?
  23. Ah, the clubbing clothes... I'm in, then.
  24. Is there anything new in the V-Day pack? I bought the Pocket D teleporter, Wedding Pack, and everything else when it was available.
