    I think you'd be hard pressed to argue that your defender isn't tough when you can shrug off bullets and energy blasts. "Armour" isn't just about toggles. It's one of several perfectly legal ways to justify being able to take a punch from anything bigger than a hellion.

    So yes. It's entirely fine to say your blaster is wearing armour.

    (That said, I'd love a blast/defence AT. Blasters aren't quite right for the classic "power armour" style character.)

    As long as 'saving the world' means 'enacting a ritual to drain Mot's power and take over the world' I have absolutely no problem with this.

    I am sick and tired of saving the world. You'd think those heroes would get off the couch once in a while and actually do their heroing themselves.

    Can you describe what happens?

    PM will be fine if we're trying to keep spoilers to a minimum.

    I've heard that they are going to remove the 5th Column from the game so it can be sold in Europe as well. True story!

    If it is a lil dev nod to our fiery heroine... then kudos devs...
    Flambeaux first appeared in issue 7. So... probably not.

    We were. But then we figured out what a parody is, and then it was okay again.

    I thought Master Midnight was hilarious. But maybe that's because he reminds me of several people I know. In that sense, he was quite well-written.

    When you worry about offending neo-nazis, you may have taken PC a little too far.

    I won D&D! And it was Advanced!

    My favourites are probably Global Threat and Forged in Hellfire.

    I'd really like to get Blackguard on one of my characters, but the requirements are blah.

    The fact that their "gravitational constant" problem wasn't instantly reverted says a lot.
    That's not really much of an excuse. If I told a customer that we could no longer maintain or extend their billing system because the people who originally wrote it no longer works at the company, we wouldn't have that customer any more.

If you've built a character with so little damage output that you can't manage that, well, that's hardly the *game's* fault.
    Maybe it's just me not being super awesome, but in my experience most teams struggle with Calystix, not to mention trying it solo.

    Same here. Especially Empty Clips.

    I'm sorry. Exploit? Aren't we setting the bar a little low?

    In what way is 'Nippy' racist?
  17. YES SIR!

    Recluse is all kinds of goofy, but he's a good arch villain dangit, and he's not a Statesman clone.
  18. They probably wish that they'd implemented diminishing returns on enhancements from the start.

    I also think (or hope) they regret the decision to split the player base between two (now three) separate and, until recently, exclusive locations.

    Of any costume set to not include a corset in, they choose Carnies? That's like releasing a CoT costume set without robes! Uh, wait...

    No. It means you get to stand around Independence Port all day, hoping for someone to come by to ask you about your task force.
  22. I'm pretty OCD about my power tray setup. To the point where I screenshot the original setup when I respec, so I can get it back just right.

    I haven't checked, but if my power trays had been cleared on all, or most, or even a few of my characters I'd be beyond pissed.

    Good thing I have other games to play these days.
  23. Yeah. Don't get me started on Drea the Hook.

    Standing there, conveniently as far away from the mayhem door as physically possible... grr.
