Either way with 6 planned episodes for the first season it sounds like they've chosen to focus in on the key elements of the story and make something tight and fast-paced. Now since we know they are already going to do a 2nd season the proof will be in what form that will take. If they try to expand it out to a "standard" 22 episode season then I'm going to worry that they "sold out" the idea already. I guess we'll see.

"The Corruptor doesnt' do as much damage as a Blaster?" Well, it doesn't have a damaging secondary, it's got a buff/debuff secondary... which is thoroughly different. (Plus Scourge on a DOT is just fun. Try Fire/Dark, rain on a tar patch... ) Playing a Dominator like a Controller will get you into trouble - it's something a lot of doms go through when they first switch over. And so forth.

Roll a few of each and try them out.

How would they spend the merits that would be more profitable than the current options for tickets?

Also this isn't a single player game. Every other player in the game shares the market. And they are after the same items you want.

Your options are to:
Outbid them
Put in what you're willing to pay and wait
Or slot SOs.

Better than all the poser ragequitters who never do and never share.

I also never said it was confusing - it must be easier to 'win points' when you put words into my mouth.

I'm not complaining about the free month or auras and what not. And never have complained about that. The difference between the complete edition and the prepurchase was clear.

Its not buyers remorse - lol - it's not having all the information presented.



Anyhow, if one sentence got me dogplied this much I'm dreading the follow up. I think I'll just ignore the posts with fingers in thier ears shouting "me so right - you so silly head' from now. So if I dont bother to reply to you, dont take it as how wonderful your debating skills were, and how well yor insults shut me up, but rather, you're not worth the time to reply to.


Afterall, this has been bounced around in the discussion thread for it months ago.

In short, the fact that the phrase Nor are there any incentives for preording it means no incentives for preordering.

This got changed.

This, most people in my experience would call deceptive.

Its not brain science, and it seems all people who claim otherwise can only present do is use insults and call fact rants, or post in total disacoiation to reallty claiming all the information was there from day one!

I dont understand how people within one post can say 'it was all clearly laid out' and in the same post then talk about how the gamestop was annoucned afterwards.

The virus business is touched on in a nice way in the written series. I don't want to give it away here, though.

I should note that we don't know what situations Posi's "crystal ball" were focused on. One of the most basic assumptions in pre-I18 market merger discussions on the forums was that the Influence and Infamy currencies would remain separate. The actual I18 merge completely undercut that assumption by merging both the markets and the currencies. Every (rationally supported) downside prediction for merged markets had its foundation in that separation of currency. Perhaps Posi's did too.

Highway is congested with abandoned vehicles on the side leading away from Atlanta, but empty on the side leading into the city? I know what that means.

But I don't think they have any place in a medical journal or even a high school book report. Unfortunately some people are getting so "loose" with their language usage that they think things like BFF and LOL are acceptable to use in any written text.

Basically I dislike people who expect too much language formality in all situations equally as much as people who are far too casual with things that call for some reasonable level of correctness.

It's not uncommon for Shield Defense or Dark Melee users to bring extra targets as fuel to help down the big game. It will be very difficult for a warshade to do this without eventually killing its food, but it would be possible.

Also keep in mind, fully slotted eclipse only needs 5 targets in range to cap resistance. With the shields active, there can be as few as three targets nearby. You'd still want ten targets to max out the mire.

I have no doubts that an AV could be soloed. It would take a lot of skill, a top notch build, and a dash of luck, but it could be done.

GM? Not going to happen. Requires somewhere around 350 effective DPS to simply overcome regen. Having a reliable -regen power would make all the difference in the world.
