    Unfortunately, you can't use /ah in a mission any more. But it's easy to delete stuff.

    Even at high levels. I love getting DOs in the mid- to high-thirties. /sarcasm

    And they say, "The exception proves the rule." So thank you for proving my point.

  5. Also, the combat one is a great video. Nice job.

    It was "older players returning". Newbies only run Death From Below. WELL into their thirties.

    It's just my personal experience, but it always seems to be an excuse, based on when and where it's dropped before /teamquit. Also, being a word nerd, I see the common usage of "calling" as something that's become a general convention, and is therefore repeated by those who use/abuse it. But that's just me.

  8. All this gnashing about objectification, and no one's complained yet about =another= co-op zone?

  9. Asymmetrical tights patterns.

    Patterns for gloves and boots that match ALL tights patterns. (Can't list 'em off the top of my head, but I've been disappointed in the past when I can't make matching boots/gloves.)

  10. I felt a disturbance in the market, and now realize THIS is why I just purchased $50 of Paragon Points. I'll be deleting a demon mastermind to make room for this one!

    That's why I did the iTrials, for the shinies.

    Wow. Nailed it. I mean, I've done quite a few, but I don't feel the slightest bit super. Especially when lowly Praetorian civilians one-shot me.

    Aw, maaaaaan. I picked up the sets (as I, too, had tokens in reserve) but haven't got to try them out yet. But I've been specifically looking forward to icing up my ice tank. That the gloves/boots do not match is a bit of a disappointment.

    A shortening of "platoon". Much like some people refer to one of our ATs as a "troller".

    Yeah, because then they couldn't run, and the devs wouldn't give them the power to walk.

  19. So at the Pummit, Tunnel Rat went through the design of the set a bit and said it's not a clone of the current dark powers, but a totally new set. It was designed to have an oily feel, not vaporous.

    I, for one, am looking forward to it.

    No. "Nuclear Toast" is me. My characters are themselves.

    Although I did create "Nuclear Toast" on Exalted, in case I wanted to do anything in-game as me, like special events.

    Yes, I do this as well. I just recentely deleted a level 20 Praetorian because the character was created before crossover was allowed, just so I could team with friends leveling up new alts. But I'm not fond of Praetoria and didn't have any emotional investment in the characters, so </recyclebin>.

    And my poor Street Justice scrapper is so much fun but still only level 23, as I also work on my 30-something Time/Beam defender and all my 50s.

    I'll allow others to use the word as they see fit, but that doesn't stop me from wincing.

  25. I have never had a main. Seriously.

    I may focus on a character or two at a time, but I play all my characters regularly. I'll admit, though, that I play some more than others. Everyone has their favorites.

    I understand the concept of "main" from other games, but it's never applied to me here.
