    Final Gesture?

    Not really internalizing the horrible news, but had to pop in to see if anyone came up with a suitable final marketing gesture to "sign off" with, as it were.

    Buying all of the X, but it really should be something more clever. I'm sure somewhere, someone with a flair for the dramatic would have a suitably entertaining idea.

    Ditto.

    A thousand times this. It's such a glaring violation of the established UI of the game. Please either just convert this to a typical loading splash screen or let everyone win by making these new kinds of screens a configurable option (disable/enable).

    Also, for those of us on older systems, these new Aberrant Loading Screens cause a massive lag spike after they clear, so we get the privilege of waiting twice.

    Just drove by and saw this thread. And while reading it this page of it, I listed a Steel for the princely sum of 19 inf. Through my greed, I forced...FORCED, I tell you...some casual player to pay me 1,000,000 for it.

    (we won't speak of my errors the other direction...)
  4. Well, this news was certainly full of suck.

    I hope the next gig is a great one.

    Sure, I come by to see the epic lulz, and here's Jay Leno trying to take someone's job again.

    (Okay, he's just rollin' but I bet he's thinking about it...)
  6. I liked the pack and bought one.

    It IS overpriced, though. However, it's overpriced like buying snacks from the convenience store, not overpriced like ordering pasta at a fine dining establishment.

    I would certainly enjoy seeing useful packs, i.e. packs with an Autocomplete Azuria missions power, Carp Melee, etc., but I don't mind seeing some fluff from time to time.
  7. Took me until today to realize that I should run my Midlevel character around to grab all the freebie merits.

    Mako: Chance for Lethal (33), Posi acc/dam/end (33), Tempest: chance for teapot (30), and the Price is Right sad music for a Dark Watcher: rech/end.
  8. Best freaking news of the freaking day/month/year. Is it August 17 yet?

    This.

    But last night, I got so mad at not being able work on kitting out a character, that I logged out and read...a book. I had to like hold it and stuff while attempting to pet the cat that came by to "help," all the time trying to turn these page thingies.

    I can't keep doing this, man. Way too much analog for me.
  10. And then there are those of us on the other end of the spectrum who, if we receive a Kin Combat, are going to be getting the acc/dam. And nothing else.
  11. Finally made it to 33 a couple nights ago heroside (253 merits in tow; 1 Posi + mission arc bonuses). As my slot clog alleviates, I'm dumping stuff out there. Someone enjoyed the LotG I drew on my 5th roll, that's for sure (well, I'm going to pretend they enjoyed it).
  12. Note to our fearless base leaders (heroside). The insp storage needs more robust permissions.

    As an avid player of "inspiration poker" I always have something tasty to throw in the bin, but have been unable at this point.

    And here's hoping we're starting a trend. I had a bid for a lvl 30 Posi acc/dam fill much sooner than expected last night.

    I'm getting my rear end handed to me (127K to 88K at the moment). I'm totally not used to being in second place.

    On the other hand, I have 106 merits in tow which is consoling me a little bit.

    And on the third hand I have some rather nice sake smoothing the prestige gathering.

    Now 70K to 62K as I have to knock off to make supper. I feel I will be chasing Fury_Flechette around perdition's flames on this one.

    Got lucky on some ticket rolls earlier and put up a lvl 19 Karma -KB. And 64 merits in tow at level 22.

    I sent Fulmen a pm last night and he told me a base contruction plan would be underway hopefully by this week end
    Sweet.

    In the meantime, the battle for non-Fulmens prestige leader continues between myself and Fury. Fury currently leading 42K to 38K.

    For which I am grateful for sure. FYI for other SG members, I will soon have the Yin store unlocked, too.

    Curious if you're seeing any recipes drop from bosses (from any pool).

    When the preview was on, I ran bunches of those missions on my parked scrapper for the collection of easy prestige and canes, and for recipe drops. Lots of prestige and canes, no recipes at all.

    Crossing the ol' fingers that it was just a fluke.

    There are alternatives to sweating your current IO slotting for flashbacks. Low level badge missions can be set at -1 difficulty to make them easier, you can load up a lvl 25+ with a bunch of insps to make badge missions go faster, or just get to 50 and lay in purples for unfair advantages toward all those Skulls, etc.

    Buying choice base buffs can also be quite the boon, as well as unleashing a flurry of temporary powers on unsuspecting low level villain groups.

    First foodpr0n, now this. I suppose that's why I pull up my permadom build and just stare at the screen...

    Gotta say, I heart the Hollows for lowbie merit generation. And a well-timed drop mission for Flux's police officers and again for one of Talshak's defeat alls (as well as knowing where Atta and his 2 goons are) makes for very nice merit gathering indeed.

    Currently on Julius with a lvl 11 fire/nrg blaster.
  21. Now we need a tiny little base with some craftage.
  22. Now we need a true Litre of Men (and Women) to rise up and l33t us to the Promised Land and sort out all these idears.

    Nectanebo commands ye!
  23. I actually checked the channel roster last night. There are a grand total of...3 of us still in it. None of us are mods.

    Sounds like it's time for a new channel (Midlevel Crisis?). Dang, I miss the BMLS action (teamed with Protea/KeepDistance/Mind...something and that was the fastest Cap I've ever rocketed through).
