Unless of course you never bought the Wedding Pack.

I distinctly remember something about Ghost Falcon not being able to handle our mac issues any more, but I'm probably wrong. I'll send him a PM and see how it goes.

I am thankful. I really am. But it's hard to remain thankful when the client itself is incredibly unstable. I crash 4-5 times per play session regardless of /unloadgfx use.

Cuppa, I'd be posting the same thing over and over. But then again, if I posted every time I'd crash that thread would be 9 pages long by now.

I'll PM Ghost Falcon.

Keep in mind that the ambushes will afford you extra XP!

They also (in a way) train you to be ready for them. You get a feel for how long you have until they arrive, how you should set up, how you should position yourself. They add a level of... well, conditioning if you will.

Prove it. Furthermore, I didn't buy the wedding pack. Still haven't. So I did not pay for VEATs, and unless you show me the redname who said we did, we didn't pay for VEATs.


You're missing my point. The PlayNC store has about 13 things (depending on your point of view) that are purchasable as optional additions to your game. They are almost all costume packs that come with bonus powers.

The C-Store has over 70 things you can purchase, including but not limited to (purchasable in-game for CoX highlighted in red):

• Powers
• Travel Powers
• Costumes
• Character Slots
• XP bonuses
• Money bonuses
• "Resource" Bonuses
• PvP Ranking bonuses
• ARCHETYPES (wtf!)
• 15-second shrink/growth powers (also available in infinite duration for 3 times the cost, when we pay 10 bucks for the science pack and call it done with, and the powers in question CANNOT BE USED IN COMBAT)
• Respec Tokens
• Costume Slots
• Temporary Sidekicks
• Temporary Powers
• Team Teleport Powers
• Healing Powers (purchaseable green insps)
• Energy Powers (purchasable blue insps)
• Might Powers (purchasable red insps)
• Story Arcs (not like AE, actual story arcs. Imagine if you had to pay for Darrin Wade.)
• Market Slots
• Salvage Storage Slots
• Useless non-combat figurines
• Inventory Slots

Come on.

EDIT: I understand that "powers" and "temporary powers" can be purchased in CoX too. However, 4 new powersets came with GR, which also afforded you Praetoria, side-switching and the Incarnate System all for 30 bucks (or 20 if you went the non-collector's edition). Don't try and argue semantics on those.

I'll enjoy it. It'll add more things for me to RP about.

I won't care. Honestly, I won't. Other people have Dark Dark brutes. They're not mine. They won't do what I can do. They won't look like me when they use the powers I have. Anyone who's bothered by that is taking it too personally.


I'll use them. Again, I'll use the powers in ways that will fit me and if someone else has them, woohoo for them. I'll feel much differently using them than they will. Look at it this way: I've been waiting for Void Judgement since I heard about it. Extreme PBAoE Negative Energy Damage on a Dark/Dark/Soul Brute? Perfect. Who cares if someone else has it? I have it and that's awesome.

As far as the Lore pets, my character contains endless amounts of devoured souls. That said I'll probably pick a human Lore summon, and explain it as a manifested soul he devoured in the past. Tech characters can explain it as a hologram, magic characters can explain it as an apparition, science can go the dimensional/rapid cloning route, and natural can just say they turned that summon to their side through some means. If you can't explain it you're not trying hard enough.

My chosen 50 for Incarnates is the most obvious for me; I want him to be insanely powerful. He'll do that through whatever means he has available. If that means siphoning power from a crazy water fountain, so be it. I'm going to love it no matter what.

The slotting I used on my Rad/Fire for Hot Feet is as follows:

Pacing of the Turtle: Accuracy/Endurance, Damage/Slow
Tempered Readiness: Accuracy/Damage/Slow, Damage/Slow
Scirocco's Dervish: Accuracy/Damage/Endurance, Damage/Endurance

Works great. Frankenslot!

No. Look at the PlayNC store, and then look at the Cryptic Store. There are infinitely more things on the so-called 'C-Store.' If the PlayNC store had as many booster packs as the C-Store has items, we'd have had to pay for EVERY SINGLE new costume set since I8, the Invention System, the RWZ, the Faultline Revamp, the VEATs, the AE, the four free costume change emotes and the Incarnate System, our Pool Powers, any proliferated powersets, and every freespec we've ever had.

Two words: Cryptic Store.

I liked you better when you had actual information about the game that other people wanted to know. Lately you've been kind of a jerk about... everything.

Spoiler? SPEAK UP DAMZ! SPEAK UP I SAY! Or PM me! Please?

Pretty please?

And it is, unless you have a thorn in your side.

The Fury changes allow fury to be generated independently of being attacked. It's been proven with video documentation that a Brute can reach maximum attainable Fury while just beating up the Vanguard dummies.

We can wrap it up when myself and players like me are damn well done with it.

On a more positive note...


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHH!

I follow the tanker. If tanker runs in just ahead of me, chances are his taunt aura will take effect a split second before I hit Hail. While that Archer is busy pulling his six arrows back and the Munitionist is lining up his rocket, I'm busy pulling the triggers and spawning hordes of orange numbers.

DP/Kin/Mace, 35% defense to S/L.

Besides, 1.40x Accuracy in HoB. Free IO.

Oh, no question. I assumed we were going on primary alone.
