    Unless something very recent came out, I didn't see any reference to Power Sets that would be available via the Paragon Store.

    Unless that PC Gamer article meant that...

    Pushing the button.

    Gah... you're right. That explains the face. It looks pretty close to in-game stuff, though.
  4. Just opened the issue for that article, and DAMN, I like those Gunslinger pieces. The face even looks high-rez, but it could just be a Steampunk face.

    The Titan weapons are a Big Staff Thingy (looks magic but also has a wire attached to the staff itself, so maybe something like a souped up Nemesis Beating Staff), Big Curvy Fantasy Sword, RailRoad Signpost (which we've already seen, I think) and Hunk O' Concrete with Rebar Pieces Sticking Out Attached To a Longer Piece of Rebar.

    The Rocketboard looks cool, two big jet engines, one on each side.
  5. Didn't take long for the hate to come out.

    I'm only a quarter of the way through the book, and all I'll say is it was worth the wait.

    Take a break? That's what got me into this mess in the first place. If I had been grinding raids like a good boy since I20 hit, I could have bought everything on Day One of 20.5. How was I to know they'd actually make Astrals and Empyreans useful?! Now that they have, I'm ready for them. Only a month or so more of grinding and I'll be free!

    Then I need to get a head start on grinding out A/E Merits for the next costume drop.
  8. Got it at 3AM this morning on Kindle, only a few chapters in, but it feels good to be home.

  10. I'll be out until I get all the Empyrean costume stuff.

    Wait... you caught up already? BRAVO!

    At this point, I don't believe that's possible.
  13. And in other news... A Dance With Dragons comes out tomorrow. I have it pre-ordered on Kindle; anyone know if I can download it at 12:01 or something like that? I'm going to read until I get sick.
  14. Will VIP players ever have to pay for new power sets? Not individual powers, but sets.

    Will the costume pieces only available with Astrals/Emps currently ever be up for sale in the Paragon Store?

    My guess is these would both get a "We can't say at this time" answer, but maybe there might be something useful in there.
  15. I'm sticking with Seers for concept reasons. I highly doubt I would ever pick a Lore pet for performance... the whole point of having all these new pets is so they can fit our concepts better.

    T-u-r-t-l-e

    Cause they can't find the source,
    Of this lethally evil force.
    This is serious so give me a quarter.
    I was a witness, get me a reporter!
    Call April O'Neil in on this case, and
    You'd better hurry up, there's no time to waste!
    We need help, like quick, on the double.
    Have pity on the city, man it's in trouble!
    We need heroes like the Lone Ranger.
    When Tonto came pronto, when there was danger.
    They didn't say they'd be there in half an hour,
    'Cause they displayed...Turtle Power!

    (Sorry, I just had to take it to the chorus... those rhymes were ill. Best theme-song EVER)

    NIGHT RUNNER's back?
  18. What bowled me over was Regen Brutes... I thought the consensus was that would never happen.
  19. A Regen Brute? Never thought I'd see the day...
  20. People form teams in the Help channel?
  21. I think we all know how this ends: Zombie Apocalypse.
  22. First toon: Mental Giant FF/Psy Defender, still on the roster and alpha-ed out, but I don't play him that much.

    Defenders are still one of my favorite ATs, but I also like Stalkers, Warshades & VEATs, and my raiding main is a Blaster.

    I'm hoping Paragon will put in a "server suggester" that will recommend a less populated server for Freeps to start on.

    w00t, I brought Voodoo Tuesdays back!

    Make sure to do all three Trials... MG needs his Emps! I only have *one* piece of Radiant Ascension armor, but I'm almost finished with my vanilla Ascension set.

    I believe that figure is a few years old. I think we're sub-100k now, but I couldn't find any data to back this up. In the City Life thread people pore over the the NCSoft quarterly reports trying to figure out where we are currently, but it's hard to tell.

    Based on the numbers I see I'd say we have a few hundred regulars, or we wouldn't be able to get the amount of raids together that we do. I'm curious if Freedom will bring any Freeps to our server. My guess is they are going to cluster (naturally) on Freedom, if only because of the name of the F2P model.
