Heh, I had anticipated this and went with the retro jacket instead on Wild West. Everyone else had the trench coat though.

or cyborg detectives from the future, sent back to right wrongs of clients that haven't happened yet.

or undercover cops posing as highschool girls infiltrating nefarious drug cartels recruiting out of local schools and/or just to protect yourself from doped up wannabe-jocks.

or disenfranchised housewives, tired of their daily lives, responding to "work from home" emails to earn big bucks without much effort in the booming sector of private home security.

or people, pretending to be playing characters who are themselves pretending to be fake characters from movies, focusing their frustrations and let downs from life in purely asthetically pleasing, yet competely underperforming, pistoling acrobatics.

The possibilities are endless!

I've already forgotten about most of you

This is why I still allow Voo access to some of the seedier dive bars in Doomopolis.

Kind of like a work release program.

Mind you, he can't live here. We do have standards...

And this is why I have a trail of shiny, almost completely worthless objects leading into a minefield on the outskirts of town...

I think the set holds up okay, though going by the numbers, some of the debuffing is a bit too weak, and some of the animations are a bit too long (Executioner's Shot is the same length as Shout, which is also too long for that power, I would say... other similar short blasts are about 2 seconds, other than Blaze).

Even so, it should be a decent set just going by the numbers. I was surprised there wasn't a bit more tweaking done after the open beta, but oh well (might happen after it gets a lot more playtime). Most of the people thinking it's too weak are the absolute min/maxxers, even though it's about the middle to low end of the pack for damage. Going by that and style, it looks good to me, though I'd still love a bit more tweaking to be done.

IMO, "vastly" is overstating it a bit. We still don't know the price for the in game item pack, and one free month is really not that big of a deal to me.

Kind of depends on your point of view. To me, saving $10-$15 helps a lot.
