True, but those can be unlocked by any level (Except the TFC one and the Vanguard, of course), however, these COSTUME CHANGE EMOTES are locked by max level? But the new trail auras? Auras? and Emotes? Are NOT Seems a bit backwards.

Edit: It's not so much it's gated, it's that it's gated when per character, rather than per account like the rest in the same situation.

I decided to take a look at the I-Merit unlockables, and had seen everyone saying ALL were unlocked globally. When browsing through I found that costume-change emotes are unlocked PER CHARACTER! What? Is this a typo, or very true? Why are all other costume/emote pieces unlockable for all but not these?

Admittedly the first post confused me greatly, but I held my tongue and watched, seeing if there was going to be any reasoning from the OP about it. He gave it and it does get one thinking(Or, at least, me.) If you don't mind me asking TheHangedMan, is this actually some kind of social experiment you were trying? Was it just something you did for the heck of it? Is there a deeper reasoning?

Awesome. That has me excited to try it, now, then. I am still sad at the -4 levels part if unslotted, but I am tempted to do it JUST to see if I can get a group to run through it successfully for the glory of saying 'Our team did it under the debuff'.

I am curious as well. i have not played it and my internet connection has been neutered thanks to one of my house-mates refusing to only download an MMO when they are asleep, so If my download and thiers goes concurrently we're talking about 10KB/sec, if that. I won't be doing the open beta this time because of this, if they actually make it out on Tuesday, I'll just wait, download it on live and try.

That doesn't, however, keep me from wondering if this is true. It seems kind of... weird to make you -4 for not slotting the power, it seems kind of cruel and unusual. You're still an 'incarnate' now with the slot so why are you debuffed for that? It doesn't make sense at all for me, but, then again, I may be known a bit for my confusion by now.

Either way, I wish to know of the challenge rating of this, both with and without the debuff in way of Lord Recluse Strike forces. One a scale of difficulty being the same as a Recluse Strike Force or a multiple of it. How many Recluse Strike Force Difficulties are we talking about in the Apex and Tin Mage ones?

Sadly I have found RP to be lacking. The only server that RPs in the open is Virtue, but even then it is hard to find outside of Pocket D. The best bet is to find a group you can squeeze into as I have been trying to get resituated in RP, but since the game is old, so are many circles, and it has been exceedingly difficult to intigrate into any SGs I have found and been interested in.

Of the 5 I have joined recently (Within the last year) I have been able to get a head in one and been able to enjoy the events, the RP and the group, but it was a brand new SG. Three of the others were too involved in a plot, already, I have been unable to get involved, due to not knowing what was going on and no one willing to inform me. One I even tried to ignore the plot and be an event organizer (TFs specifically) And only managed to run one of the three TFs I had planned, as everyone was too involved in other things. The last Sg I just joined, not too long ago, and haven't seen many on, so it's still in the air.

This is just my experiences, but from what I have seen, RP is still around, but it is shattered. It is hard to get a plot going outside of an SG, and even in an Sg, if you arn't known in the circles in those SGs, it's probably going to be very hard, unless it's a new SG. Your Milage May Vary, but I have been very unlucky in the department of statistics concerning RP, lately.

Haha! Nevermind I found out the problem. it turns out, for some reason, my screen reset to a widescreen mode, and since mine is a square monitor it caused cutoff.

There's also how at different levels it's different too. my level 50 blaster has no problems, my level 24 has to think. A scrapper is a scrapper but my level 50, level 36 and level 19 plays vastly different against the same mobs. It's really fun, I agree. XD

I have taken to calling the low level counsil 'Interns' it's spread amongst my friends. It is common enough and not a big problem as it's usually one, if that, in an entire mission.

Skipped the last page, will go back and read it, later. All I want to say is PvP became less fun with I13 because it made the mechanics differ than what I am used to. I am used to one way of play and do not want to lean another way, because, with DR, Heal Decay, Inherit AT Resistance, etc, it makes it veyr different, even if you have the same powers in PvE. I still PvP and one of my characters picks fights for the hell of it like she used to before the I13 changes. Yes, she will fight (An Elec/Kin/Mu Curroptor), in PvP and win, or lose, she will have had fun. That's her character. She teases and heckles someone, then will be thier bestest friend after she obtained a few bruises from them. And seeing the one poster say those that pick fights in Arena just to pick fights are poor RPers is a bit poor form. You can have your character be a smart ***, and then RPvP and it can be fun overall, I've had it happen plenty. (Also had a few people, ICly, degrade her wanted to fight, but she usually just laughed, called them names and move on, because that's just how she is.)

Also, one BIG change that made me dislike it is the travel suppression of Teleport. I had three character I regularly RP'd with it and in RPvP, they would lose one of thier main powers, and it irks me to no end.

I prefer RPvP over any textfighting myself, but the changes have done too much. My Ice-Ice Blaster was great in PvP, even un-Io'd out, but thanks to the changes the slow sdon't do anything. I work my way around the poor chnges, and I still love my characters and prefer to settle things in PvP thank in Textfighting.

I'd love to have an organization or several that focuses on PvP, though I wish the old PvP were back.

Edit: I hate Diminishing Returns, it ruined PvP a lot for me... Just my opinion, irregardless of RPing.

Hear me out, I am crazy, but ideas come and they might, or might not, be good... For now I was thinking of if there was an SG or VG or, potentially, both, for Praetorians that leave and come to Primal Earth. I mean, think of the culture shock, whether someone was originally born in Praetoria, whether or not they agree with Cole or the Resistance, or whether they, mostly, lived in the wilds surviving against the DE...

If no one made such a group, I was considering making one to get Praetorians (And Allies, as some may be prejudice against them and it would be appreciative to see others that want to help make them comfortable, as well as be useful guides to the new world.) involved and consolidated... If they wanted.

What do you people think?
