Ack FFM, I feel for you and all other European players.

The same things happen in the states from time to time. In the 1980s, politicians wanted to blame rock music for bad behaviour of youths. Now, violent video games are the new scapegoat for another generation of politicians who don't understand video game culture and, often times, demonize it.

In my opinion, which is undoubtedly shared by others, politicians are going after a symptom instead of the cause. When Columbine happened here in the states, in addition to music Marylin Manson, KMFDM, and Rammstein, games like Doom were also blamed as influencing factors. However, troubled people will always find inspiration from a multitude of sources, If we didn't have music or video games, what's to stop anyone from being inspired by classic literature like Machiavelli or Sun Tzu? Should society return to burning "unfavorable" books as well? Or should we instead treat the people instead of looking for another scapegoat? Although Michael Moore is far from my favorite documentarian, there are several gems in his "Bowling for Columbine" film.

Obviously, I share your concern and hope that German politicians can overcome their "rectal cranial inversion" and realize that banning so-called "violent video games" will not solve bigger social problems, such as proper parenting, the value of morals, and so forth.

Additionally, they should also realize that placing such a ban would hurt Europe's economy in these stressful economic times, driving business out of Germany, forcing companies to relocate, increasing the bottom line due to costs of relocation and rehiring, etc.

It's the wrong move to make for so many different reasons. Instead, game shops should be made to more strictly enforce the ratings on games (and not sell Mature games to minors) while increasing parental awareness of ratings; and ultimately, making parents more responsible for the actions of their children until the age of emancipation.

Happens to the best of us. It's a big read with a lot to digest.

Exactly - you'll only need a team leader or mission holder at lvl 36+, and everyone else falls into suit.

You would think that Arachnos engineers would have a modular neural interface and mounting points for those claws, not only to facilitate repair and replacement, but also so that soldiers could, you know, sleep at night on their backs

But alas, Lord Recluse's deprivations know no ends, including the welfare of his troops. Darwinism and all that.

(The only thing keeping me from trying a Huntsman build on my Crab are those Crab legs).

I'm in. As a gargoyle, going pantsless is second nature. Just throw me a date and time, as I've been vacationing in the Capital Wasteland lately.

I'm curious to see how this new system will work, but certainly cautiously optimistic. On paper, it sounds good. Now I'll just have to see how it works in practice.

Yes, that's how it works. Wouldn't even matter if your Crab build was the second build AFAIK. Once you have the Crab legs, you're stuck with them. No immediate plans to alter this function - right now it's "WAI."

The real question is: when can I get more than 5 slots?

I don't know about that

I'm just LOLing at the tags this thread's generating. Apparently, nerdrage FTW

Nein, that's just the way it works if your account doesn't have closed beta access.

I think I'll try this on the upcoming Double XP weekend:

"Tired of waiting to get onto Virtue? Want to meet some interesting players? Sick of wearing pants? Triumph awaits!"

The "Unknown" option, dear friends, are pants - and whether one wears them or not.

You can still make them, but it's a lot more work than with UBB.

My Vet Rewards are so timely that I often get them a day or two in advance
