The idea is that since they all give the same salvage, players will run BAF and Lambda to get their commons and uncommons, then upgrade to the tougher Keyes and Underground to get their rares. From an interview in GamePro.
    Sneaky, sneaky.

    That's cool. I never saw Jack like that.

    Nice to see this here. I wasn't expecting that at all. Well done!

    Wow. I've never heard the story behind Coyote until this thread. I'm impressed that they did it, and very glad that he will still have a place in the game.

    This is the only explanation.

    The texture of the shirt and the sleeves in this instance do not match, too.

    Also, I am using a Chest Detail over Classic Steampunk 01 jacket - the logo is tearing on the right side every time the toon "inhales".

    However - so far, this is a really cool looking pack. The emotes are pretty sweet, too! I'll buy this one. It's fun.

    Was that on Liberty? I was on a Lambda where that happened.

    Nice work! The first time I saw the ruined Ouroboros, my jaw dropped at the coolness... what better way to show that some $^&% went down. That map is always so much fun to go back to.

    I haven't been getting ANY notice of awarded badges lately. This includes Destiny Unlocked, Lucky, Scrounger, Mercenary, Vanguard Recruit, The Constant.... It's not just the newest badges created.

    EDIT: Just logged into another toon. I got the message for receiving Heard the Call but not for Lucky, which was also awarded at log-in on this toon.

    In an issue titled "Issue 20: Incarnates". Crazy!!

    Did the same last night but didn't see any additional rewards or badges for it. I like the artwork on the TF badge, though!

    I would like to play one of these. I have years of experience in this powerset.

    Ok, I realize the game has a "T" rating so the beer ones might not be acceptable, but the others would work.

    Hey, a neighbor of a friend of mine used to get kegs of Root Beer. It could work for the younger player set.

    Taxi bot

    POST-ACTION

    I don't hit the Hollows much these days, but when I do, it always feels like something is missing when I don't see broadcasts for a taxi bot. Ah, the old days...

    Might be a good starting point for a thread for things like that in the game that have pretty much vanished.

    Now, if they could only fix the copy tool...

    Agreed that it went downhill from there, as I was also taken out a few times by someone not there for the event.

    Still, I had not seen the forum heads-up on this and it was a random (to me) and cool "Gather! Something is happening!" thing. I would like to see more of that kind of event. I felt hero-y

    - I also thought the Devs were doing the same thing red-side and were baiting all of us into a massive PVP.

    Oh, yes! Some days it just feels "it's all been done before". Even though I haven't come close to doing every mission arc, the repetitive maps can make it feel like I have. Looking forward to GR.

    I think that's a damn good reason to overlook the "gap". Thank you for your service, and congrats on the badge-to-arrive!

    Though I personally would like to see a Meet and Greet at Wizard World since I could get to the Convention Center by public transportation, I do see the merit in a midwestern location. Maybe one at Wizard World could be something to consider for future Meet and Greets, though.
    Agreed! Although I realize that some other regions need the love, I'm in Philly as well, so I hope for a Meet & Greet here someday.

    Sorry for not being clear enough. You guessed what I meant: they are not releasing pets. I suppose they are just destructible objects. I never saw that in missions before. Thanks!

    I'm running a late Kheld arc from Sunstorm. So far, three missions have had Shadow Cyst Crystals and not one of them has spawned. I've never seen that before. Buggy? I've hit it with ranged and melee damage.

    You think that's goofy? I was in a coalition base the other night. Went to a teleporter and clicked on Steel Canyon. It 'ported me into a completely different base. I have no idea to whom it belonged, but it was pretty nice.
