    Seriously. Thread-jacking is at least as inconsiderate as spoilers without warning.

    I remember a couple of years back, some of our beta characters ended up flagged as GM characters. Which was pretty fun

    So I don't know about account-wide flags, but you can certainly set it on individual characters.

    That should be a trope. If it isn't already.

What might that look like? How might it happen? Would just putting guns in the Epics of non-squishy ATs work, or would we need more?
    I've been wishing for a Ranged/Defense AT forever. I like power-armour style characters, and there's no real way to represent that in game (short of ignoring the lack of armour). Sure, it could be "omg OP!" but really... we already have it playable in-game, just with a really specific concept behind it.

    If there was ever going to be added a new AT, that'd get my vote.

    I think it's because the whole infinite dimensions theory doesn't make any dang sense in the first place. Giving it a little semblance of structure makes it easier to relate to.

    That's to avoid breaking any characters that may still have missions from those contacts from before Freedom went live.

    The surfer hair style has clipped with the top of your head since issue 4. I'm not holding my breath.

    For me, the comic relief is the brain in a jar without the brain.

I won't out and out say that it's a bad idea, just doesn't seem like it fits to me. Like they're taking a Fusion Hammer to get the square peg into the round hole. It'll be a much larger round hole at the end of it, and the square peg might not exist anymore afterwards...
    Well, that's because you're wrong.

    How is Titan Weapons any less stealthy than strapping huge glowing lightbulbs to your hands? Or shielding yourself with crackling electricity? It's not. Guess what? YOU MUST BE ABLE TO SNEAK is not a requirement for a stalker character concept. Maybe you can cast silence and invisibility spells? Maybe you're a ghost? Maybe who friggin cares? Why is it suddenly impossible to imagine how super powers work?

    As for the AoE-centricity, Stalkers already have several sets that focus more on AoE than single-target damage.

    Let's not start up that cettle of fish again, eh?

    Short answer: Stalkers are not only (or even primarily, depending on set) stealthy ST damage.

    And they are extremely tight lipped about what they are working on!

    But a Bethesda funded MMO eh? It's easy to think Elder Scrolls or, dare I say it, Fallout.

    Or maybe something completely different!

    I don't know what to say to that.

    Yep.

    Maybe it's a browser issue.

    Exactly the same here. Accepted, went "hey, that's not my buddy" and put them straight to ignore.
  23. I have a weakness for the dark/regen combo. Whenever I try to make a dark/something character, I always rerolling /regen.

    I think it's some sort of leftover trauma from when the game was first launched. My original character was a dark/dark scrapper. Dark Melee is cool, but Dark Armour was terrible. Meanwhile, a RL buddy was playing a /regen scrapper. So there was a healthy dose of set-envy involved.

    I've never actually managed to get very far on dark/regen though. I don't know why. It just ruins every attempt I make at rolling a dark melee alt.

    Fortunately, the Devs have (at least in the past) proven to be smarter than you. Whether they still are is, of course, anyone's guess.
