  1. Only if diplomatic relations with the machine sentience go south.

    If we can manage to keep the two sides from killing each other, I'd be all for living in a post-Technological Singularity society.

    P.S. Hooooot Pockets!
    Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
    who was very rarely stable.
    Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
    who could think you under the table.
    David Hume could out consume
    Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
    And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
    who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.

    There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
    'bout the raisin' of the wrist.
    Socrates himself was permanently pissed.

    John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
    after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
    Plato, they say, could stick it away,
    'alf a crate of whiskey every day!
    Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
    and Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
    And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
    "I drink, therefore I am."

    Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
    A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.
  2. Maybe we could breed sentient servers.

    I think you may need to be logged in. I just ran into this myself, and logging in fixed it.

    Now that I think about it, that would only work in the MA.... I forgot about there being powerset restrictions on players being able to unlock those custom weapons with Vanguard merits.

    Look for that to be working with player characters Soon(tm).
    So... happy...

    In fairness, they didn't actually screw up walking. An unrelated bug managed to make it's way to the live servers, and they can't undo only half a patch (trust me).

    Also, "didn't take long"? As I said in another thread, I could count on one hand the number of times patches have been pulled from the live servers. For a 5 year old game, that's pretty impressive.

    Why yes, I am a fanboy. Thank you for noticing.

    I dunno, I'm pretty shocked. I think I could count on one hand the number of times they've had to revert to a previous patch.

    That wooshing noise is the sound of the joke going straight over your head.
  9. Also, it makes the retcon seem less of, well, a retcon.

    The server list should be merged. But there are reasons why it doesnt get any dev time.
    There are reasons, but I have a sneaking suspicions that the devs didn't come up with any of them. Definitely sounds like a business move, not design end.
  11. bleaaaahhhh.... I knew I shouldn't have clicked on links to spider pictures.
  12. I believe he was thinking of the villain contact Psymon Omega, which has you kill a warshade named Romulus.

    If the dot is grey, it means their 'rating' (not the same as their rep) is too low to affect yours. The rep you award is based on a combination of your rep, how long you have been registered on the boards and how many posts you have. If you've been around a bit, but have negative rep, you might award zero, for example.
    I forgot you need a comment, though they may have just thrown some spaces in there. Good point.

  14. ... I just got Grey Rep, with no comment attached to it, for my previous post in this thread. So confused...

    Or walking, amirite?
  16. Also, there's a spot on the Grandville beaches that allows you to swim in it. Random little pool with a Coralax using a clipboard in it.

    In fact, why don't you PM me your response to this thread, so I don't have to see those damn pictures again. Please?

    Probably to not confuse new players in the tutorial with too many powers. That's my guess, anyways.

  20. You obviously have no idea how super hard the devs have it. They need 70 humurous lolcats every day, just to deal with all the hardships.

    You are obviously a terrible person for complaining, and I shall hate you forever!
  21. Really? Different from the standard back-peddle? News to me... neat, I guess.

    Ehh... I guess you could shoe-horn it in that way. What about when Pretoria hits, though?

    Anyways, that's not the main reason I wouldn't want American-only holidays in, I just thought I'd make you aware of an incorrect statement you were making.

    Probably because there's currently no sideways/backwards walking currently in the animations library, and time would have to be spent making them.

    On that note, I wonder when can we expect the crouch-walk toggle?
  24. Dude, implementing walking is most likely much easier/faster than fixing the TF bug.

    Only part of it is. The entire Rogue Isles are not in America, and neither is the Shadow Shard.
