    I don't, but I can't speak for the rest of Isos.

    As far as being a liability... Hamster leads a team... I'm not sure how you could be more of a liability than that.

  3. You can just roll up a new Street Justice toon for Isos if you want, Voo.

    NancY: I think the reason people say you should take all of Time's powers is because of the way they stack. Some powers put special effects on mobs (e.g. Delayed) that cause other powers to be more effective. I think this is true of the buffs as well.

    I'm planning on taking the whole set myself.

    We know of five new sets since Freedom was launched. One was free. I know Titan Weapons will be Premium, and we don't know about Staff, but I'm assuming it will be Premium as well. That's 1 Free vs. 4 Premium.

    Of course, they could have 100 free sets waiting in the wings, but I find that unlikely.

    All a part of The Plan™.

There's really no mystery to it. *shrugs*
    But we got plenty of powersets for "free": Archery, Trick Arrow, Shields, Willpower, Sonics, etc. I'm not even counting proliferation.

    Now, it looks like non-Premium, non-Expansion sets will be few and far between. So far, Time Manipulation has been gratis, and Beam and SJ we have to pay for. Of the upcoming sets I'm aware of, both will be Premium: Titan Weapons and Staff.

    I'm not a fan of for-pay sets, but I'm no fool and I realize it makes more financial sense for NCSoft to do this. I would be better at waiting for my free points to stack up if they didn't keep throwing new costumes and sets at us.

    I wholeheartedly agree, but I think overloading VIPs with "Premium" powersets that we have to spend Points for is part of their strategy to get us to buy points, thus increasing their revenue beyond the monthly sub.

    Diabolical, but effective.
  9. So, tomorrow we have no chance to survive and we must make our time.

    I'm curious where you got this idea. I recall the Devs saying at least once that the pre-Freedom costume packs were a better deal than what would come after. They also advertised when it was your "last chance" to get the packs, and I think they mentioned that it was a better deal again.
  11. I'm with GP, but replace "amused" with "aroused".

  13. Well, if you're not going to do Beam or Time, another good suggestion is to do a set that you're curious about, but think you might not like. I only have a lvl 50 Brute and Dom because of Isos.
  14. Tomorrow is the kickoff for the next session! You can make whatever you want as long as the words "Beam" or "Time" are in the name of your Primary or Secondary power set.

    Since the new Sewer Trial is run like an Incarnate Trial, I doubt it. Since it's the first night I expect a lot of folks to be trickling in, so we don't want to be locked into content that people can't join in progress.

  17. HBD, MP!

    Sorry Medieval... you're Mr. MP from now on.
  18. Did another MP-led UGT run last night... now I know it's way too easy.

    Also, MoBAF is too easy.
  19. This feels... strange

    Corruptor: Beam / Rad
    Corruptor: Beam / Time

    Usually MG creates a List™ that defines who is playing what.
    I'm not sure even of my world famous Lists™ can drum up enthusiasm for this run of Isos.
