i think they're looking for a way to have it show in chat for others. Unless you cut and paste the output into your chat, which really isn't much more convenient than typing it, /whereami doesn't tell others where you are.

i like the idea of adding a $faction variable.
Then something like: /bind shift+enter "beginchat [$name $level $archetype $faction] " would show as (for example) " [Blue Merkin 26 Scrapper Vigilante] " when using it in a global channel.

The Coming Doom works even better in my opinion.

i was casually squidding a lobster when i got to wondering why the Devs hate purples...
Shortly after that i was being pursued by the half the PPD. It turns out that squidding lobsters violates three public decency statutes in Paragon City. (The fun ones, obviously.) It wasn't until some time after that when i'd caught my breath that i remembered that the Devs hate purples and started wondering again.

And here i thought the thread would be about the ever-growing tendency to write "begs the question" instead of "raises the question."
Begging the question is not the same thing as raising/suggesting/implying a question. To say something begs the question is to suggest that it's a logical fallacy.

Now back to the supremely important issue of fonts.

Yeah, that sort of bothered me when i read that. i understand that the Praetorians are from a divergent timeline, but (presumably) reversing the name order is a little outside the usual variations.
You as well?

Werd. Honestly, i barely notice most of the mutations except for the monkey devolution.

Only a few enemies have changed to my knowledge, and all in the late game where the diversity of powers may have had something to do with them not using some properly before. That said, i've only noticed a couple enemies as being tougher and overall game play hasn't changed for me beyond the problem with leveling a bit too quickly in the lower levels. Then again i've always sought out missions against groups like CoT, Malta, Carnies and Arachnos whenever they're available, so i may not be the best example of an average player.

Well, i think there's both detractors and refuters, although after having refuted him so many times there are far more who are both. Honestly, and it's been stated by many of those who disagree with Ultimo_, they're no longer concerned at all about whether Ultimo_ will learn anything, they just want to refute his inaccuracies and outright fabrications so that others who don't know better don't end up being misled. Yes, it brings more attention to the threads, but it's not like Ultimo_ would stop posting if no one disagreed with him, and he's usually so wrong that he couldn't be more wrong if he was captured by Dr. Wrong and his Wrongbots and dipped in a vat of Toxic Wrong until he gained an inherent power called Aura of Wrong... Right?

He's Pitbull. Of course his bite is worse than his bark. Pitbulls are bred for massively powerful biting and only average barking.
Now with titanium teeth and lasers!

It's either that or Anus Shades.
That's how i look at bugs like this.

On several of my alts i've set Secondary Mutation on auto and have gotten the same mutation twice in a row only once that i've noticed. Some people have all the luck. i've only devolved into a Rikti monkey once, but from what i've read it's a 1% chance. i wish it was more frequent because something about it appeals to my sense of the absurd.

i know, right? Despite knowing that i've been not capitalizing it on the forums and in game for six years as a sort of identifying affectation.

Although it's actually the love of money that's described as evil in the source material, not money itself. So, i guess it's evil to love women then? If so i say "FIE!" upon your antiquated morality.

The best example of the latter that comes to mind is lobsters.

i think the approach Decorum has to immortality in The Milk of Paradise and the effects on mindset seems one of the more plausible solutions.

Still, full immortality is one those impossible to actually show concepts, much like infinity. In fact you'd have to follow an immortal around for an infinite amount of time to be certain that they are immortal. Immortality in comics is generally of the 'continue living until a big enough hammer crushes you' variety. Comic book immortals can generally be killed, but it takes serious effort to do it; just waiting around for them to drop dead on their own isn't enough.

It's randomly selected every time you use the power. And it it is possible on a character to get the same power over and over again.
Edit: i'm pretty sure the mutation roll has no streakbreaker, so if you're especially (un)lucky you could get the same mutation any number of times in a row.

Still, if the mutation power locked in when first used that could be sort of awesome. i made a Dominator last week and on her first use of the power she turned into a Rikti monkey. Being able to turn into a Rikti monkey for one minute whenever i want would be funny as hell despite not being able to use any attacks or powers while transformed.

i don't rate the Devs nearly that highly.

Because in the United States that is the naming convention used by the vast majority, and like most naming conventions logical consistency is not a consideration.

Good points.
Flight/Hover can be very useful in a Hami raid, especially for melee types. If you do go with a melee AT i suggest having lots of extra KB protection if it's not part of your Armor set's standard mez protection. My Spines/Electric used to get bounced around a lot until i got 14+ KB protection since Grounded doesn't work well when airborne and you have to be in the air to melee the yellow mitos.

Since the zone caps at 50 players it's always a better idea to assemble for a raid in The Hive.

Don't worry about messing up the raid. Unless you spam taunt while standing in the middle of a bunch of squishies it's hard to mess up too badly. A Hami raid can be done with less than 30 players, but it's much quicker and easier if everyone pitches in.

Pay attention to your team leader and don't hesitate to ask questions.

i know on Champion and Virtue The Hive tends to fill up early for scheduled raids, so showing up a little early is usually a good idea.

On Virtue though that has resulted in start time creep to the point that the first raid usually starts an hour early. Which isn't that terrible since normally there's at least two or three raids in a row anyway.

That happened to me on my level 30 Scrapper. Vanguard spawn at a minimum of level 35. Ouchies ensued.

Sadly the bug only works with paper missions or similar missions where the enemy faction is determined by the RNG. A Valentine's day mission full of Praetorian Clockwork would be funny. Maybe instead of Snaptooth we could get a Praet Clock AV or GM. (Although i'm not sure what one would look like. Maybe a techier version of Babbage?)

Oontz! Oontz! Oontz! Deedle-Deedle. Oontz! Oontz! Oontz!

Edit: Just be on topic: The only boot type i've found that has the Biolume pattern is the flat boots.

Interesting. That makes things like Recovery Serum a bit less appealing for many Kheldians.

Yeah, those were changed to being resistable over a year ago. And they still suck, but before that my DM/Electric Brute would easily hit the negative resistance cap when facing Longbow on large teams. That combined with Electric Armor's total lack of defense and Longbow also having massive AoE at the later levels it wasn't uncommon to go from about 90% health to faceplant in less than two seconds if someone aggroed a second spawn.

i glanced at the tags right after reading this and nearly sprayed the keyboard with tequila. Somebody doesn't like having insight and accurate facts used in a discussion.

He just wants a Toot Muffler. Is that so wrong?
