This sounds too fun, I prefer raiding Laundromats in Praetoria.

I read that part about going to the NPCs to buy them.....I don't think I care for that. BUT....and I haven't checked, what are the costs to make the parts? Additional components? If it were a straight 15 Emp cost to unlock AND make (pick and choose), I'm sold..... per character.

The one thing on my wish list , would be power armor ( shakes fist at positron).

Quote:One part I hadn't read yet was that the two new Trials have repeatable Emp rewards. You get two the first time, but during the 20 hour cooldown you still get one Emp out of them.Originally Posted by Ineffable_Bob
I like this from a not-grinding-so-much perspective, but it's unfortunately going to make it harder for those trying to unlock the slots to find one of the easier trials. So instead you'll have more people less well-equipped doing the harder trials, which means more failures.
Obviously I have no idea how long these two new ones are, but I predict people grinding them just as hard as BAF and Lambda now, especially since the new Incarnate powers are 15 Emps each (Not sure if this is a toon or account unlock... for 15 Emps I'd hope account). -
I knew they were going to nerf Keyes... thanks, whiners!
EDIT:
Wow, and I totally missed this:
Quote:That sucks.As far as the bad stuff, BAF and Lambda will no longer award Empyrean Merits once you've unlocked the Lore and Destiny slots, respectively. -
Team Mental finished Noble Savage, Katie Douglas, and Blind Makwa before I called it a night.
This is the first time I'm seeing the First Ward content on a decent-sized team, and damn, spawn size and patrol sizes are huge!
Good thing we have plenty of Beams to take care of business.

I wasn't expecting the ending we got. I figured the dear would have been how they found the girl (Rick's answered prayer) or that a zombie would be lunging out of the bushes for the kid.

Quote:Thanks, I forgot about that. I agree that it was a dick move on Dale's part. In a world gone mad, people should have the choice of whether or not they want to self checkout. He probably thought that she was still grieving for her sister and so wasn't in her right mine, but it was her call.Originally Posted by Lothic
And basically when Andrea decided to commit suicide at the CDC Dale sat down with her and claimed he would not leave without her. In the last few seconds she decided she didn't want to be the reason Dale killed himself too so she ran out. Obviously she's still mad at him for "tricking" her like that.
It makes the scene of him dropping the screwdriver down to her even more meaningful. He "saved" her so she gets to get eaten in an RV bathroom... what a mess. Speaking of messes, how does she not get infected with all that blood over her? I can't believe she didn't have *any* broken skin for a pathogen to get in through, and what about her eyes and mouth? I guess unless you get bit good you don't zombify pre-mortem. -
At this point, the thread should be considered spoiler-full, even thought I can't change the title.
REDUNDANT SPOILER ALERT:
So, since I doubt we'll find Sophia in a non-dead or zombified state, they essentially wiped out both kids in the premiere! Yes, I know Carl will make it (for some amount of time, anyway), but still... DAMN.
Great opener though, and the helicopters in the "upcoming scenes" make me thing some kind of civilization survived somewhere in North America.
Also, can someone refresh my memory, how did Dale "take away" Andrea's decision? Was she going to stay in the CDC and he said he wouldn't leave without her or something? My memory is fuzzy on that. I do disagree with keeping her gun from her. As long as she's not a threat to the group, she entitled to a weapon (especially her OWN damn gun!) In fact, I was wondering why everyone wasn't armed as they scavenged the traffic pile-up. Except in the case of a huge zombie herd, it would have be much safer. -

The Deputy is, however, a giant ******.

The main character is a good guy. And the Deputy isn't a racist or married. In fact, I count only three racists and/or wife beaters in the main group.

No post on this yet? Really?
The Season Two Premiere is TONIGHT!
Let's revisit the mystery of what the CDC guy whispered to Rick! I thought it was news of a pregnancy, but I might be wrong. It might be something more spoilery about the nature of TWD's zombieism.
Who else is excited for the new season? -
I like the First Ward content, wordiness and all, but I'm not too fund of the through-line of the story... not to be spoilery, but if feels like you're changing sides every two seconds, and sometimes you're taking missions from someone YOU KNOW you can't trust. All the "choices" in the arcs feel like non-choices.
Other than that, I really enjoyed First Ward. Great looking zone, like the back story, great new enemies... a metric butt-ton of missions. They just need to punch up the plot a little... maybe give us a parallel track? -

My initial reaction?
The act of removing the "free will" from someone is just as evil.

Quote:Drive is almost nothing like Transporter. It's not an action movie at all.Originally Posted by Rock_Crag
Drive? Really? I dunno... I got a very bad vibe just from the commercials. It screamed 'YOU MUST LIKE ME! I'M THE NEW TRANSPORTER!'. I would like to know how it is, though... if anything... to see if it broke through my expectations.
Real Steel was good. -
Re: the subject
A consummation devoutly to be wished. -
Now that I think of it, most Gun Fu characters from John Woo films and elsewhere (Equilibrium, The Matrix, etc.) actually do have Time Manipulation as a secondary.

Quote:To write something like this requires a high level of Nerd Lore. Methinks Voo doth protest too much.Originally Posted by VoodooCompany
Ya know, speaking of nerd references, why do they always get all worked up over the fact that Lone Star screams "nooooo" when Guido shoots first? And how come no one questions the "red shirt" trope when Picard wore a damn red shirt? How come that wheelchair bound baldy never died? What, just because he could read people's minds? I think it had more to do with that annoying little alien Queue that would show up who you couldn't get rid of unless you said his name backwards....Come on, how hard is it to say his name backwards? You would think Straczynski could come up with a better device for his own damn creation. He never even gave Westley his own show like he promised, instead paired him up in that vampire show when he got older, fighting the Shadows on that trading post out in deep space.

I don't about anyone else, but I am loving my Beam/Time toon... I'm spreading more Disintegration than [OFF COLOR JOKE REDACTED].

No wonder I didn't notice it, I play almost exclusively brutes and tankers.
I'm waiting on some love for 'trollers/Doms/MMs. Yes, I know we got Electrical Control a year ago, but still... not hearing anything about new Control or Pet sets.
