Of course, my dad doesn't want my mom to cook, preferring to go eating out. She wants to cook!

Of course, my dad wanting to eat out is like breathing - if he's not doing it, something is wrong.

I would totally open up a massage/chiropractic office. With so many women having ginourmous back-breakers and heels? I'd be raking in the cash PLUS there'd always be heroines in the office so I'd never get robbed.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Massively had a "what are you thankful for in MMO's," so of course I had to chime in...

I was leaving it a bit vague deliberately, actually.

Just something I was wondering about. I've not been in comics for years, so I really am not sure about this. Anyhow, every knows the AAA-heroes... Superman, Batman, Spiderman, etc. But I was wondering who the second-tier ones were, what they're like, etc? You know - they're pretty good/awesome but maybe don't have the personality/appeal to be major stars/titles and thus don't get brought out that often, or can't carry a full title by themselves so are usually a part of teams and such.

I'd go check my friendly local comic shop except it closed down a few years ago

Main reason I'm asking is I've got a new alt and trying to figure out how to style him. I figure he's always going to behind my mains, so what the heck, right?

I just subscribed annually in August. I'm tempted to go for this special, but am not sure... hrm.

(QR) I can't help but wonder about increased system requirements. That's pretty important in my opinion the you run the risk of losing players due to rising system requirements. Given normal life, nevermind the economy, not everyone will have the money to "omg get a real computer," you know? Plus lets not forget that laptops (which are outselling desktops, right?) generally have stinky GPUs.

Understood and appreciated. I've actually got a few friends who regular on Khelds plus a bunch (including myself) with Doms. I'm glad you're opting to wait rather than release now with problems or roll-back later. I really, REALLY appreciate that - roll backs are ugly and could cause other issues

I support your decision and I'm glad that the powers that be are allowing you to do this. I think we can all think of games where the developer wanted to do something but the publisher/management forced them to do something less than ideal or even questionable. As such, I feel that much better about Paragon Studios and NCSoft as well as the money I've spent with you wonderful folks over the years.

Enjoy Turkey Day and the Black Friday sales if you dare brave them!

Thank you!

Yeah - end is not fun. Right now I typically keep Dark Embrace, Murky Cloud and Obsidian shield running in a fight, with Dark Regeneration and Darkest Night being the two things that make my endurance drain super fast. Thank goodness for Cardiac @_@

I'd point out that with TP foe then its less likely you'll get an enemy who cannot be attacked due to being stuck in the map walls. Hazards if you ever attack or team with someone with knockback powers.

I'll have to agree with the Exemplaring reasons. My level 50 blaster is primarily slotted with level 25 IOs in order for him to have a wide range of exeplared goodness. Worth noting something that Catwhoorg pointed out to me:

My old thread with exemplaring questions...

The wiki I got pointed to...
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Exemplar...n_Enhancements

Most of my characters, to be honest. Respec'ing is a pain, and while the extra powers would be nice I'm not finding it to be a compelling enough reason on most of my characters to find it worth the trouble.

Here's my cute and cuddly level 50 Energy Melee/Dark Brute. Specs from Titan Sentinal, usable in Mids.

Worth noting - some folks who got Going Rogue bought it before the box came out. So I wonder how much we contributed? After all, NCSoft should've made more money off of us than off of retail box sales. I've heard wholesale can be 1/2 of retail price sometimes? Plus no distributor's cut, month worth of gametime, printing and shipping, GR goodie pack, etc.

*random mental meandering*

It might fun being level 50+ or even 50++

So we'd be like the enemies then? A level 50 underling is blue/-1, minion is equal/+0, liet is yellow/+1, boss is orange/+2, elite boss red/+3 and an AV purple/+4? Sounds fun to me.

Thank you very much! This is pretty much my first time messing with such things, so its all pretty cool to me!

Got it on the second try (first time ever having anything resembling an issue with the NCStore) - will fiddle with it more later but pleased

Good thing we're getting a third build with this!

As a more casual player I have to say the idea of getting free enhancement to most of my powers is highly appealing. While I'm not sure how I'll use it, the possibilities are exciting and I'm certainly not a min/maxer by any stretch of the imagination.

I've got two (and pretty much only two) characters I play to involve in the Incarnate system at this time - a blaster and a brute.

* Do I address a possible weakness in their build? The Brute, even after all his IO bonuses and such still consumes End very quickly so the common Cardiac (end redux) might be a great thing to slot.

* Do I address a strength? My blaster and brute both are both favor recharge (enhancements and IO bonuses), so Muscleture (damage) and Spiritual (recharge) would both make them more capable of putting out high amounts of damage.

* Do I create opportunities? Both have common IO's in their builds, so if I use the Alpha boost in place of an enhancement, I can shuffle those slots around or slot for something else. This would require using a different build that's optimized for running at 50 but it could be awesome

What's nice is no matter what I do it will still be a nice boost for my character, and if I want, it can be a great boost...

I kind of wonder, though, if there's some sort of bell curve in terms of who will get what out of it... someone with a highly specialized slotting setup would have a lot less flexibility than someone with normal enhancements. Likewise, someone who's willing to respec will get more out of it than someone who's not.
