They con the same to Loyalists and Resistance alike, yeah. I've had tons of PPD attempt to fight my Loyalist characters, since in the lore the PPD are jealous of Powers Division.

Oh my god, those were phenomenal. I grabbed a couple for me and my girlfriend, not knowing exactly what they were, and they were delicious! ... But then I couldn't find the lady carrying the tray around, so I didn't get to have any more. |

But I did get to play the Street Justice set through the new tutorial, so I guess we'll call it even. >_>

Good guess on the spelling. Not sure why he said "from the forums", though. For someone who's been around since Issue 1, my post count is pathetic. |

I stand by the quoted bit. The sum total of what I've now seen of I21 makes me a very, very happy player.
I apologize to anyone who had to watch and listen to me today. I have a face for radio and a voice for print media.
Thank you, as always, for the summary thread. The irony is that I was standing six feet behind the camera for most of the ustream, and could barely hear a word of it. The dealer room floor is LOUD.

Yes, they plan to remove PvP from the entire game except from that little hidden island in Cap au Diable that is going to be made into an entire zone where 12 year olds can question each others sexuality and hurl epithets at one another and leave the rest of the server alone.|

And I left the information out of the show notes just to spite you.
Cause lolpvp.
Honestly, it's Tunnel Rat. Talking about Visual Effects of the new powersets. I have no idea how you'd expect there to be a mention of anything PvP related in there, or there to magically be some PvP related information that I didn't drop into the original post.
Or are you just hosing down every thread you can with your pet personal issue just for the lulz?

Yeah, and it's not fair to those of us who didn't start playing until later either! I mean, how was I supposed to know all this was coming 7 years ago? If I had known I totally would have subbed at launch and not let my sub lapse a few times.
