Rularuu wears a sort of kilt/skirt/dress thing that only covers the lower half of his body. So I think Australia is safe. For now.

Things like 28 Days Later, Zombieland, and Left 4 Dead have shown that a zombie apocalypse can happen via a disease infecting victims and making them into mindless monsters. So it's not like that kind of apocalypse is anything new. Plus, to be honest, those types of zombies are way more believable and threatening than the slow walking undead types.

Because as one of the devs put it, new writers want to tell their own original stories rather than research old lore and make new stories based on existing characters and groups. That's why every other issue we get three brand new groups to familiarize ourselves with.

Also, his suit looks terrible. They need to tone down the blue.

Hey, Dark Astoria was effing awesome. So if Aeon actually wrote for that, then he has shown he can write well and should stop doing so awful on the SSAs.

As to the OP, yeah, I don't plan on playing SSA #2 'cause of this one. I'm actually only going to play part 7 of WWD 'cause I want to finish what I started. But I don't recommend playing part 6 at all. I did as a villain, which means I didn't suffer through that terrible Oranbega baby sit thing everyone complains about, and I still thought it was lame.

Spoilers to follow. It didn't focus at all on States' death, aside from a random, out of left field Nemesis attack that did nothing for the story. They hyped up Penny only for her to get her *** kicked fairly easily, and she really did nothing for the plot either. The whole Manticore shooting Psyche bit just felt stupid, and wasn't necessary at all. My biggest problem, though, is I'd really just wish this story would've focused on a small cast of characters that we could actually get invested in, because so far it just feels like they're trying to toss every single NPC that they can into the plot, whether they're actually important to the story at all or not. Too much is happening in too small a span of time, and everyone gets to have a big taste of the idiot ball along the way.

This. They've been churning out so many texture swapped maps that actually make this game's missions feel fresh and new. I'd love to get some of this variety for the AE as well.

I thought Clockwork just said "Hoods", which is a separate category from "Hats". Hoods would make sense to exclude due to them being larger and bulkier, they'd clip and look bad with the bubble helmet. But hats are usually much smaller, so there may still be a chance the bubble helmet will be usable. Guess we'll have to wait n' see.


I think you're going a bit overboard with the copyright thing, there.

Yeah. That's an old promotional pic from before the SSAs came out months ago, and Paragon Studios was hyping them up.

Way to be supportive.

This. If they made a new MM set that was "Arachnos Soldiers" then only characters with a back story of being affiliated with Arachnos in some way could use it. That's pretty limiting in terms of freedom of concept.

Their best bet would be to work on tech to allow us the ability to swap out our existing henchmen models with those of existing enemies if we choose to. Let Mercs look like Arachnos Soldiers, PPD, or Longbow. Let Thugs look like Hellions or Skulls. Have Ninjas look like Knives of Artemis or the Tsoo. Etc. Dunno if that's possible, but that'd be better than making a PPD or Arachnos pet set.

I think he got it backwards. Quite a few people were wanting an opaque version, akin to Mysterio or a modern astronaut. I think that's what we was saying he'd like.

I think you may be over thinking this by a lot. It was just a fun little video.

You mean the days when we'd see the only new content in an Issue once every 3-4 months, with powersets and costume sets coming to us very rarely with sometimes a year or more in between them?

Come on, now. The extra cash they're getting let's them churn out new items on a weekly basis, VIPs get free points every month to buy what they want, and non VIPs get to play nearly the entire game for free.

And OP, the players I miss most are the ones whose characters were memorable, costumes iconic, and RP fun as hell.

This.

This is the part that gets me. If your kid, and anyone else for that matter, actually enjoys Bay's product, then why complain? I'm willing to see if what he produces is actually a good movie or not before saying over-the-top metaphors of "Way to take a time machine, find me as a childhood, and ruin every good memory I had of this source material somehow."

That would actually be so awesome on so many levels. The Shadow Shard would provide the inter-dimensional, cosmic Galactus type of threat that we should have had from the beginning instead of Praetoria. DA now provides the threat of gods and horrible, powerful dark magic. And Eden would provide more of a natural, down home super-science super threat in the form of the Devouring Earth, possibly culminating in an iTrial version of taking down a partially evolved Hamidon.

Variety.

What would be more comic book like?

Not true. It also exists to introduce players to the Incarnate system.
