My uploader has a link to an Issue 19 Strike Pack, but i can't find it in the Ncsoft Store anywhere.

Anyone know where it is?

MArcs:

The Echo, Arc ID 1688 (5mish, easy, drama)
The Audition, Arc ID 221240 (6 mish, complex mech, comedy)
Storming Citadel, Arc ID 379488 (lowbie, 1mish, 10-min timed)

The Strike Pack is just Issue 19. You have already.

The Strike Pack isn't a "Booster Pack," it's the 19.5 issue... so you have it.

Info.

The Strike Pack is just a poorly chosen name for the second half of Issue 19.

The only part of I19 that requires a specific version of the game is the Incarnate stuff. You need Going Rogue for that.

Yeah...

I just mentally change the 'P' to a 'B'.

I mean, I get the meaning behind it but honestly I like the sound of
Strike Back more and it's less confusing.

Gotta wonder what they were thinking when they gave us the WTF acronym as well...

Then there is the new Dev Beastyle and his unfortunate abbreviation of
BS.

Strike Pack is like a weird abbreviation of "Strike Package":

THEY didn't give it to us. They gave us the "Weekly Strike Target" (WST), likely to avoid using that particular abbreviation. WE are the ones who began using "WTF" to describe it.

There is no "they" who gave us WTF. "They" being the Devs gave us WST, or Weekly Strike Target. We the playerbase took that and made it into WTF on our own. Officially, it's still WST.


Edit: Sniped by GBE. That's what I get for opening all the topics I want to read in tabs and not refreshing as I go. Oh well, it's another voice to chime in.

"Winning The Future" was the theme announced by the President., hence the confusion.

"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"

"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."
