And eat (human) meat?

Ow. My head hurts for all the wrong reasons. Reading is not harmless. Words in certain patterns can hurt you. Or maybe it was the desk impact. Moving on.

Nice sword, and it looks like the handle extends far enough to be wielded two-handed as well. Which is nice for those of us who like to use Katanas.

Sorry i missed it, but i haven't been reading the server forums much lately, and i missed the in-game announcements. (Haven't been on Champion all that much, and have nearly stopped reading BMT.)

Next year maybe.

He was gone?

There was RMT spam before Issue 9. There was RMT spam before Issue 4. i don't recall seeing it offhand, but i'd bet there was RMT spam since before Issue 1. That said, it was generally uncommon, but i'd seen it at least as far back as Issue 4.

Personally i support the suggestion of limiting trial accounts to posting in a few sections of the forums, but otherwise feel there's not much that can be done to eliminate spammers. Honestly, i think that the posting of RMT spam here is a sign of desperation. Not only are the readers of the official forums a minority of players, but we are the portion of the player population least likely to need or want the services of these companies, and the most likely to be aware of the dangers of using them.

Completely agree.

3) This. More videos=more interest.
4) Absolutely agreed. i'm a fairly regular attendee at the Tilde Cafe which is a free event hosted at various locations in CT and every cafe event has a camera there to record the talk and post it to youtube within a few days. It should be possible for Paragon Studios/NCsoft to do that with every meet & greet or other public events. Even if you can't spare an intern or helper monkey to record the event, i'm sure that there are fans of the game who would volunteer to show up early and set up a camera and microphone(s) to record it for you.

Sprunky.
Sounds like someone got some Sprunk in their eye. All Sprunkiness aside, i do like the suggestion of reviving the comic book, especially if the setup you suggest works.

There's an awful lot of sets that do both. Almost all of them, in fact. So Defenders would get Empathy and Force Fields and Corruptors get all the other sets? Or would it be that any set with 5 or more debuffing powers goes to Corruptors and all others go to Defenders? Then Trick Arrow would be Corruptor beyond a doubt. Also for Corruptors would be Radiation Emission, Sonic Resonance, Kinetics, Storm Summoning and Dark Miasma. Cold and Thermal? 5+ debuffing powers in each set, so also Corruptor. Traps? Corruptor. Pain Domination? Defender i think. No, wait, 5+ powers can debuff enemies IIRC. Corruptor.

i guess Defenders would be limited to Empathy and Force Fields. That would definitely change my ratio for those ATs from about 70% Defender and 30% Corruptor to 5% Defender and 95% Corruptor.

Edit: i was actually thinking that Corruptors would get debuff, damage and crowd control power dominated sets. So things like holds and attacks would count for the Corruptor side. Which actually means Corruptors would get Force Fields as well. So Defenders would get... Empathy.

Too Awesome To Use been a problem on many of my alts. It's why i almost never use Amy's Ward, the Loa Bone, etc.

And the Hollows enemy spawns had Star Trek transporters as well. i remember when my first WS paused to rest on a rooftop and a dozen +3 Outcasts suddenly appeared around him.

Actually, the market history was wiped when i17 went live, so all price histories are only transactions since then.

i really forgot about that as well. Ragdoll physics was incredible when it went live. And, unlike another super MMO, it worked on the first try. Ragdoll is still hilarious to this day.

And another pun is left to die unnoticed as the mists of gloom and doom cover all in a shroud of doomed gloomy shroudiness. And mist. And gloom.

i suppose the severe doom and gloom is infrequent enough to be mostly overlooked. If only it was ignored completely.

No need for flames. Malta in general tend to be a bit OP'ed compared to most enemy groups, and i can understand why many players avoid them, especially when playing squishy archetypes. They can be pretty frustrating.

That's not to say that i feel the same as you do about Sappers. i take missions against Malta, Arachnos, Carnies and Thorns preferentially because i find them more appealing, and i don't really consider Sappers overpowered at all, but that's a matter of personal taste. i find Freakshow and Council among my least favorite groups to fight. Meat Doctors make Freakshow very slightly more interesting when present, but overall both groups tend to bore me.

Well, a "Are you really sure you want to delete this character?" dialogue box did pop up when you clicked the delete button, so it's not like it instantly wiped them. Not much consolation if you weren't paying close attention of course.
i've been asking for back pieces like that since craftable costume pieces were added. Still hoping too.
Yeah, that wasn't really an even trade. Energy Aura was pretty crap when it first came out.

Yep. i remember a friend getting the Sky Raider pack from the story arc back around late 2004/early 2005. Even back then players were asking for backpacks and jet packs as costume pieces. Wings were supposedly going to be unique to the Avilan EAT and factor heavily into their playstyle. Avilans were eventually dropped and all characters ended up being able to get wings, which was for the best in my opinion. Still waiting for costume piece backpacks and jet packs.

Listen to the Lilly and welcome to the game.

That reaction seems a little bit severe to me.

The latter. Definitely the latter.

From the context of the original question i would say that this is wrong. The previous answers would be my guess.

So sorry, but i use Android on my phone. An OS which is rapidly overtaking the iPhone. Not that i object to an iPhone app, but an Android app would probably be a better first choice.

My DS mastermind sort of inverts that imagery. See, she's rather short and when she fires off the first upgrade on a big demon and... well... they appear facing away and rear up and roar when it hits them. So it sort of looks like a pubic rocket. Or something.

Still, without Pubic Rockets you can't do a proper homage to the old Doom Patrol villain, Codpiece.



Black Pebble: It's good to hear back from you. i don't really have any questions relevant to your bailiwick that haven't already been asked in this thread, so i look forward to further revelations from you. And i like the idea of a standalone costume creator with costume file exporting for the Android platform.

In my opinion you have just redeemed the thread.

OP: You can still edit your first post in this thread to use the correct format for displaying the build, though i am puzzled as to why you didn't post it in the VEAT section in the first place, and even if it was posted there i would ask if there was some reason that you wanted to post that build in particular. Usually when someone posts a build they state what it is about the build they want to show off or ask for advice.
