I recently had the awesome privilege of attending the NYC Meet & Greet this last Friday, and managed to score the best costume code in the entire game. The awesome lady at the awesome swag booth even let me snag an extra pair for my friends who couldn't make it to the event.
Unfortunately this leaves out my other friends (my entire server <3) who are now similarly lacking the wicked sick greatness that is Riktification. It's nice that these things are kind of exclusive and cool, but I feel bad about those who are left wanting
My suggestion is to list costume codes on the online store, or include a couple in each booster pack. I know the Party Pack could really use something to make it more appealing, and it's not like nobody's ever thrown a costume party before! It'd definitely go a long way towards making the pack worth $10 (No offense or anything, but c'moooonnnnnn!).
Anywho, that's my time. Gotta go make a photo diary of my Restructurist's attempts to fit in with Pathetic: Human: Society. -
Quote:Awh, were you at that Meet & Greet, too? Man, I missed everyone there.It's only 1am.
Just trying to catch up on things after being in New York all weekend.
Also, since I'm done using the word "sashes" for at least three days now, I'm gonna go ahead and ask if we can possibly get those wicked awesome packpacks that Crey Eliminators, Crisis Units, and Protectors have (as well as Arachnos Engineers) because man, those things are cool, and I love backpacks. -
Quote:I second what this guy says. Those early enemy groups don't really wow anyone (except the fifth column, those guys are as awesome as you can be without a sash), and I think it's important to make a good first impression on people new to the game. It's even good for veterans who wanna roll another alt.One suggestion I would have is to kill two birds with one stone.
Update old villain groups with parts that can translate to the character creator better.
The Rikti look amazing still after they got revamped, and if you are looking to make this game look fresh and vibrant, while still offering the players costume parts of them, I suggest that route.
To this end, I would recommend the Freakshow, Vahzilok, Hellions and Carnival of Shadows. -
Whassap Savage, just checkin' in to say "Sashes" and then I'm gonna go have something to eat.
Thanks for bein' awesome, and I'm not just sayin' that 'cause sashes are on the line.
<3
edit: That is to say, stuff like Moonfire's sash (which PPD Kheldians also wear) and Carnie sarongs.
edit 2: No I have no idea why I like sashes so much.
edit 3: Yes I'm wearing one right now.
edit 4: Just kidding, but seriously -

Quote:He made all of that up because somehow telling everyone you thrashed a mound of jelly isn't quite as awe-inspiringTyrant's bio on the GR website mentions the Hamdion having tentacles and claws, so the Praetorian Hamidon = tentacles idea has been around since even before the GR closed beta.
You can also see a propaganda poster in some of the Praetorian office maps showing a huge tentacled monster outside the sonic fence.

Quote:Actually my workplace just installed a metal detector at the front door, so Nemesis has been pretty foiled.If you think the automatons are sucking lately, then that's very good for Nemesis, since you won't be looking for the very important ones that don't have orders to act like piles of junk.
On an unrelated note though, I wish the Rikti had their own version of CSI. They could call it I: CS and it could have a Rikti Investigator who shows up to the crime scene, analyzes the evidence with a Probe sidekick, and then teleports in a pair of sunglasses and makes snappy one liners.
Medical Examiner: "Subject: Suffered: Massive Impact. Fell From: Dropship. Or: ...Pushed?"
Hor'i'O Ca'ne: "Either Way: Subject: Created:...
...Impact: Large."

Just something kinda wacky I noticed, apparently the Rikti costume only glows at night :3 It seems to be tied to the same code that dictates when the windows in buildings light up. Or something.

Is it just me or have automatons radically decreased in quality, lately? It seems like every other one is always missing some stupid file or clicking really loudly. That probably doesn't help their one and only purpose any, either. Imagine going into work one day, and your boss is like "Hey do you have that report I wanted" ('cause I guess bosses really like reading reports) and you go "Sure thing boss ERROR FILE INVALID" and then you kill him with your weird steam musket. Wouldn't that be awkward? Being an automaton sucks.
What was I even talking about?
edit: Wait while I'm here, why do Tank Freaks leave their heads totally exposed? Hasn't anyone caught on that they can just shoot them in the head?
edit 2: Sorry I mean "arrest" them in the head
edit 3: Also, Hollow Point is a stupid fat idiot who needs to realize that if you want to "liberate" some people then you damn well better arrive on time to do it instead of someone who had to take a three hour helicopter ride just to get there.
edit 4: Oh, and not that I'm complaining, but why does blinding powder confuse enemies? What's the logic behind that? "OH GOD MY EYES, I WILL KILL EVERYONE FOR THIS" -
I went, too. It was worth it for the canned Tutti.
Wish I knew who else was gonna be there, but alas. ALAS.
edit: Avatea was there, too? Dawh, I missed my chance to apologize before I'm banned forever for posting that leg accessories thread.
edit 2: AW MAN I COULDA PUNCHED VENTURE?? -
You should see what NPCs say to me every day.
I'm getting tired of reporting them. -

I bet when Ouroboros Crashes into the sea, Mender Silos moves the entire operation into a Motel 6 in Dallas.

They probably forgot to pay their floating bill

HELLO EVERYONE welcome to Baka's pointless spculation hour my name is Baka and this is where I come to talk about stuff that's probably wrong.
Ooookay, so with this new I19 info we see Ouroboros having fallen from on high right into its own lake, however unlike a person, it doesn't get teleported back into the sky. Or maybe it did, so the whole thing just keeps smashing into the water over and over again and that's why it looks so ruined.
ANYWAY we can see from some screenshots that the Crystal Titan has deigned crashed Ouroboros a superior place to stand and look imposing.
Now, anyone who has ever participated in a redside Hami raid is used to the ol' zone entry popup that talks about the Hamidon ripping its way into our reality.
This begs the question "well what reality does he come from, then?" I don't know, but considering the Hamidon is just one big cell, I posit that it is a REALLY BIG reality.
Blueside we know that Hamidon is a scientist coincidentally ALSO named Hamidon, and it makes me wonder just what reality sees children being named Hamidon.
Nobody knows where Praetorian Hamidon came from, all we know is that he "showed up sooner than he did on Primal Earth because of nukes." So either Hamidon Pasalima of Praetoria got totally spooked and whipped up whatever crazy hippie tonic turned him into a giant cell way way way ahead of schedule, or this one also barged its way into someone else's reality to be a jerk.
Also we don't know what Praetorian Hamidon looks like, other than it has claws and tentacles.
But then again, that's probably a lie because Emperor Cole didn't want to go around saying he beat up a violent Jell-O mold.
ANYWAY my point is, and I do have one this time, is that...
Okay I'm wrong, I don't have a point.
NO WAIT I DO, I think Hamidon has something to do with the Coming Storm. Him, or whoever created him. The Red/Praetorian ones, anyway. They're also responsible for Shivans, so whoever it is has a serious thing for jelly and glowing crap.
So I guess the real question is, where does Hamidon come from? Who made him? Some kind of cosmic watchdog force that sends huge-*** microorganisms to give nature a fighting chance against industrial civilizations? Did Hamidon Pasalima accidentally stumble upon the method said watchdog force uses to make these giant, giant cells?
SPECULATE WITH ME because I'm tired of typing. -
Frostfire sucks so much he can lose a fistfight to something that doesn't have arms. -
I imagine we'll be hearing something this Saturday.

You know, I also accept infamy donations.

Yesterday I was permanently banned from Ouroboros for leaving my portal in the middle of a highway.
By the way anyone want to be the new Pilgrim? -
Over time I've come to learn many universal truths. Don't sleep in the subway, don't get involved in a land war in Asia, and don't try to save Black Panther 952 with a full team.
