Primal

I own and thoroughly enjoy Equilibrium, so the Dual Pistol animations sound just fine to me. Sight unseen.

I can dig where the OP's coming from, don't get me wrong, if the shooting animations were realistic and utilitarian I'd probably make a growly post about it too. I still might, once GR comes out, who knows.

Same here, with Magic very slightly edging out Natural. I only have two Mutants, neither of which I play much.

I see Magic the most in the game, though that's just anecdotal.

I believe this is the one Soulwind meant. Not the best picture, sorry, got it for the sword instead:



Midriff but not cleavage. It has the v-cut, but shows nothing.

True, but it's, again, applied seemingly arbitrarily. One would think a weapon with special power against fey creatures like Red Caps, the Iron Blade, would be something other than a basic-model Broadsword with a level-1 attack.

I believe what Diggis is referencing here is the old (and valid) complaint that there is very little if any dev presense at non-West-Coast or non-US cons. Yes, yes, we KNOW the myriad reasons for it, but it's a bitter pill to swallow at times, doesn't always get all the way down for some.

When I saw the thread was by P P, I knew what it'd be about, and what it wouldn't have. I also knew half of it would be arguing about her. It beats me why some people are offended by her so.

Combine these two and you have me, with a caveat. I play games 2-3 hours almost every night, but not just Co*, in fact I only play it about 8 hours a week. (In truth I haven't logged on at all for about 3 weeks now, Aion has me hooked.)

- I'm about half SO half IO, never go looking for AVs to fight and rarely bother with TFs or SFs, and am decidedly "meh whatever" about looking for Merits.

-I play around at the Market, but I'm not looking to get rich, and I sell all salvage and recipes for 5. If I make an IO, I'm planning to slot it, not turn it over.

- I refuse to plan characters out ahead of time using an external source like Mids, I decided at the very beginning to only use in-game and fellow-player sources (and then ignore the latter when they start mentioning Mids). To me planning out numbers takes all the magic out of the game. I don't care if people DO enjoy juggling numbers, mind you*, but I do reserve the right to not care what they then say ought to be done. I will make decisions on my own about whether to take certain things or not, like Stamina, and plan for them, but nothing is automatic or "required" by a certain level.

- I've been known to farm but it's rare and I don't get on teams to do it. Note that my definition of "farming" here = "reset maps sometimes", usually on low-level struggling characters who've just leveled and made the enemies -1s. Now there's I16. (I don't think of street-sweeping as farming, it's more like hunting-and-gathering.) I don't consider farming part of the equation of "casual" or not, personally, but some do so just mentioning it.

- I have two 50s, Hero and Villain, pushed solely so I could access the new ATs, and it turns out I only like the Villain ones. I have a couple of characters 40+, who might never make 50. I consider 50 the end of the game, an opinion I doubt is widespread, but it does keep me from complaining about lack of end-game content (which I DO believe we have, I just don't do it.) I have never fought Hamidon, aside from that one red-side mission where you fight a weaker version of it, I've never "raided".

* - I ****ing hate making disclaimers, honestly, but if I don't someone inevitably feels they have to defend themselves. People can do whatever the heck they want!

"Moses it."
