And the sheer idiocy of some of the comments still amazes me.

"Oh, Chris Bruce got fired, so everything he ever said is now invalid and people should stop quoting it."

What an ***.

ya know star, i have learned over time that an open internet comments section invites a very specific, very coarse and reactionary type of poster, so i really tend to gloss over that sort of stuff. if you really want to hate the world, go to any major online news site with open commenting and read the comments, I take solace only in the fact that they seem so stupid and narrow minded that they wont ever do anything actively harmful because they are too small and petty to do anything.

Agreed. I keep a few characters grey for RP/Concept, but lure of H/V merits is strong. There's a sense of gimping my rewards by choosing it for concept.

I don't find the teaming options much better for the Vigs/Rogues - most of my teaming is found by global friends and channels, so I'll just alt to a Hero/Villian if need be, and can only be in one zone at a time anyway.


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

Seems like the last 4 interviews have all pretty much been the same. Say we have a loyal following and that DCUO doesnt concern them and end with a i20 is awesome.

If you're referring to the quote that annoyed me, it read more like "They refused to fire him for not putting in a powerset I wanted."

Which struck me as hilariously annoying.

Does that still capture what you were saying, Rian?

The lack of new information here doesn't surprise me; hopefully it's enough old information to spark interest in people that aren't actively following the game?

Still hate the visit Winscott mission- make it dropable, have it give actual exp or remove it altogether. PS- Down knows who you are.
