    Boy, Joss Whedon really loves his screenings, doesn't he? I still say he cheated himself out of a fair chunk of box office revenues by over-screening Serenity.

    The problem is only one of those TF is available to players below level 45, and that one not to players below 35. The Respec Trials at least go down to level 24.

    The fallacy in comparing anything Lucas puts out today to the Star Wars Holiday Special, is that the Holiday Special is the one piece of Star Wars dreck Lucas actually disavows. Anything else that is officially licensed presumably has his stamp of approval.

    That said, I didn't watch the clip and don't really care what kind of Star Wars stuff they put out anymore. My Star Wars collecting days ended about three years before I discovered COH, and this is a MUCH cheaper hobby.

    Heh, thanks. Looks like I'm the April fool this year.

    Seems like every other WTF is a dumb Respec trial >.> and they take so long (blue side).
    That's probably because there are so many fewer Strike Forces than Task Forces, so to keep things "even" they have to keep recycling the Respec trials.

    Everyone knows all the good names were taken like six years ago.

    Same here. I had never even heard of the book series before the show aired and I picked up all the books shortly after the first season ended. I was amazed at how faithful the show was to the novel A Game of Thrones, and I was so psyched after reading it that I immediately started A Clash of Kings against my instincts.

    I frankly can't see how they're going to fit everything from A Clash of Kings into the second season, let alone pulling in some material from the third book.

    And on the off chance this is some kind of contest...

    If I am a winner, I permit NC Interactive, Inc. and NCsoft Europe Limited to use my name, likeness, photograph, hometown, and any comments that I may make about myself or this contest that I provide for advertising and promotional activities. I also certify that I am at least 13 years of age and am eligible to participate in this contest.
  8. They've updated the list of WST for April, and what is up with the timing? It looks like they are switching from a Tuesday reset to a Thursday reset schedule with there being one WST that is only available for two days - Positron and Tarikoss on April 12 and 13.

    Kinda weird.
  9. I enjoyed it, but I wish now I hadn't already read "A Clash of Kings" because I found myself getting distracted from the action and dialogue because I was mentally comparing it to the book.

    Let's see what new characters were introduced last night...

    Stannis Baratheon
    Melisandre, the Red Woman
    Davos, the Onion Knight
    Craster
    Sir Dontas Hollard

    That's all I can recall ATM.
  10. I hope this costume set sells so well that it can single-handedly finance some sort of extraterrestrial zone (Moon, Rikti homeworld, Shivan homeworld, etc.)

    We need someplace to use those awesome space suits where they won't look out of place.

    It appears to me that we are getting both Leslie Nielsen, and Anne Francis. Note the tell-tale beauty mark...

    Really? I figured it was because people were keeping all the enhancements the converted to use on current and future characters rather than selling them.

    Edit: If you think about it in that light, it shows just how important the end of the long count is...it really is the biggest new years event there is.
    Did you mean the center of the galaxy? 'Cause I'm not sure we even know where the center of the universe is now. Other than the vague description that Tatooine is the planet farthest from it.

    I don't doubt people will do this, and I would imagine there are already tourist agencies offering "End of the World" travel packages to the Yucatan or wherever. What's funny to me is that it's not like going to the Olympics, or taking a trip to see an eclipse or something. If the world really would end, you wouldn't have anyone to brag to that you were there when it happened. On the other hand, when the world doesn't end, all your friends will make fun of you by blowing a bunch of money on a trip to Mexico because you believed in the so-called prophecy, or whatever.

And why should Exhalted have to copy (and do without locked costumes) and move to virtue if that is NOT Their Preference???
    You're fighting a losing battle, giggleleaks. Any time a VIP asks about a special priviledge for their subscription, there is a very vocal group of players who shout down that VIP and paint him or her as a snob or elitist.

    I'm guessing those people never join frequent flyer programs, never participate in "buy eight, get the ninth free" promotions at sandwich shops, and refuse to accept bonuses at work, unless all their coworkers get one too. In short, they are better people than you or me.

Currently have incinerate in my build since I was going to use it to hole a Hecatomb set but since the Archetype sets came out I now need 1 less purple set.

    No terrify cause I dont like cones and between the other mass controls I'm usually fine.

    And telekinesis just cause its awesome. From a design point of view anyways. I always fought internally about removing it for rain of fire but i guess I wont have to now. Only other thing I'd want to take is melt armor but its not worth it on a Dom. Only -11 resistance.
    Thanks for the info on Melt Armor, I was planning to respec into that. Your build definitely gives me some things to think about. My philosophy has always been to lock 'em up and burn 'em down, rather than to try to build for defense. One other question - is this build permadom?

    Rain of fire

    Interesting. I have the exact same type of character Mind/Fire/Fire dom that I have been planning to respec for a while now. I haven't made a lot of the same pool power choices as you though.

    For example, I didn't take the fighting pool, and I find it interesting that you skipped Terrify, but took Telekinesis, and skipped Incinerate, Firebreath and Combustion.

    Also, how did you get Fireball at 35 and Rise of the Phoenix at 41?

    Very disappointing. Clearly the Devs know we like badges - they fixed the problem with the one that was not being awarded at the end of DiB, and I'm sure they've fixed a dozen other buggy badge issues since the time Freedom launched.

    It was meant in jest, and I would hope that's how it was taken. Though I will admit, it was a pretty obvious, and therefore lazy, joke.
