  1. A few inferences can be made:

    Neuron, essential leader of the zone.Neu-tropolis.

    Neutral, fitting with the 'morally gray' themes. Neutr-opolis.

    Neutrons (and/or Neutrinos), a potential catalyst in the Keyes Island Reactors. Neutro-polis.

    Bothell, and I know where Lynnwood is. What jobs were you plugging at, because I only found work after MUCH tribulation up here.

  4. That video was so annoying I couldn't finish it.

    Rambling in a sped-up voice != sound advice for the gaming industry.

    And furthermore, if costume pieces in the new Freedom system are literally going to cost anywhere from 1-4 quarters apiece, why is a video on microtransaction price-gouging even relevant?

  6. YES! EVERYTHING YES!

    Oh god. I love you guys. I love you guys so hard.

    WANT NOW!

    NOOOOOW!

    You mean to tell me that for the past 3 years I've been in the same state as the legendary Dark Respite?

    And within 20 minutes, no less?

    I am not worthy.
  8. Having taken several classes on content design, character modeling/rigging, quality assurance, sound design, the whole 9, I can safely say that I both respect the devs and am thankful I don't have their job.

    I don't think I could go on these forums as a dev/redname with all the snark and self-entitlement without causing an HR issue.

    There are lots of things Taxibots can do other than the "big three" of transportation, healing, and rez.


    BY THE WAY...

    If anyone does want to create a new Taxibot character, make a robotic-appearing character with the preferred name format of "Taxibot #" where # is the number of your choosing, usually a one or two digit number. You will need to have the "checker" pattern on the torso, arms, and legs. If you want to hide the pattern, make each of the body parts one color, and you can show the checkers only when you go into SG mode and your bot takes on the standard Taxibot black and yellow color scheme.
    I think I'm gonna do this. Make a Taxibot, that is.

    Edited to Add: Taxibot 5 is now in service!

    But no, players did not create ED.

    You cannot take Haymaker without taking Jab or Punch. It does not, has not, and will never work in any other way.

    That's not functionally how it works. That is how it works period. There is absolutely no possible way to take Haymaker before Jab/Punch. The game doesn't work that way outside of the AE.
  12. Might want to update the link on the boards and the account page, Tex.

    And the cider wrapper. Not that I'm grumpy about it or anything.

    You tell me how I get Haymaker before Jab or Punch WITHOUT TAKING EITHER and I'll believe you.

    Doesn't change the fact that in the books/comics States spends 85% of his time yelling at Manticore and making a total jerk out of himself.

    I'll do that without needing the Recluse bit by using a variant of Epicurus's quote regarding God:

    Is Statesman willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not a superhero. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him a superhero?

    Let the guys do what they do best and if you don't like the changes, sure you can voice that opinion but other then that, get over it.
    Player-suggested (and sometimes created) things that were implemented into the game:

    Capes
    Epic ATs
    Pistols
    Dual Blades
    Street Fighting (coming soon)
    Ouroboros (the ability to do stuff you've missed)
    Player-created missions (AE)
    Trina
    Empyrean Michael
    Astral Christy
    A Wider Expansion of Lore Pets
    Weapon Customization
    Power Color Customization
    Alternate Animations

    Note: This list is not all-inclusive. These are just a few.

    But it's good I was told what this thread really is about.

    Bless your heart, strawman.
    Great, the one guy who actually got this post was dissuaded. Good job forums.

    May I suggest a return of the taxibot costumes (en mass, I know there are a few still around), or a similar agreed upon color and pattern scheme that shouts "I'm here to help!"

    Hopefully the "cool" crowd won't consider this the latest fashion craze.
    Gold and Blue may be a good choice. Example:

    I would keep my costume on Nalrok mostly normal, but would change his Ascension boots/shoulders/gloves to be gold and blue, signifying that I'm part of the helper crowd.
