    Shame on you.
    But but I love my kitties.
  2. Noooo. I want to see it updated, like with a Chinatown-esque area for the Tsoo stuff, etc, but not destroyed! It could look so nice with a bit of work. And it's kind of cool when it's not a hideous death trap.
  3. I'm glad I saw you guys when I went a few years ago, then. I even got my main drawn by David Nakayama
  4. Pretty sure I'm gonna regret setting fire to my house to get a spider/centipede/tick out more.

    This hasn't happened yet, but it's getting there.

    Love fighting those guys. I did that TF tonight and had fun slugging it out with my double.

    But looking back to when i joined and how i play now it's a BIG gap. I could derail the thread and go on how the old days of i9 lol. How i did't even know how to use enchantments for 3 months.
    Enchantments?
  8. I've started soloing a LOT more. I used to be afraid of playing alone, like, any sudden noises or enemy attacks would make me jump out of my skin but I'm a lot less nervous now.

    Oh, I gotcha. Yeah, that was a good comic.

    On the topic at hand, I'd like to have a better grasp on other languages so I stop accidentally naming my characters gibberish when I try out different languages. Thankfully I can usually retcon it to claiming they picked the name out of a dictionary.

    I thought they were a straight-faced parody.

    Just gonna throw that out there that you could, perhaps, use another option like the be creative one?

    This. I logged on, saw an advertisement for a DFB, got on, and then watched the guy proceed to continue his advertisement every *three* seconds in the help channel. I faked my own death.
  14. I am experiencing physical pain every time someone puts an apostrophe on Sirens.

    And just like that, I revealed my weakness which is way crappier than kryptonite.

    VIP-only betas make it hard to test stuff from a non-VIP angle
    I was told that all 50s have alpha automatically unlocked on beta? I was all 'wtf, why is my alpha unlocked!' on my scrapper one day.
  17. My aversion to leading is a combination of the times I do volunteer, something horrible happens offline which means I have to bail in the first ten minutes, or I just spend so much time trying to organize and get things sorted I forget to have fun because I'm worried about everyone else (I get high strung when I'm worried about the experience of others).

    But it's usually the first, which is getting creepy.

    I do love teaming, though, even if I can't get it started myself. So while I build to solo now so I don't have to worry about not being able to do anything without teams, I'm usually eager to get on any that go 'hey, you wanna?'

    The idea of waiting an hour for a team is absurd! We do have it good. I'm so glad we have the LFG channel too.

    Non-Pocket D bars heroside would be nice, actually
  20. I was thinking maybe Skyway or Steel Canyon if they get revamped? A China-town type area somewhere in the zone. We have so many Asians and Asian immigrants in coh canon, it would make a lot of sense to have that in-game.

    I really wish that they decide to add them in as normal arcs so I can do the story. There's just no chance to stop and explore on a trial.
