Hey now, that's MY schtick you're using there. You just back off Missy.

I leave the math and brains stuff to you. (After all, you are far more qualified than I am.)

Leave my "goofy names for our Community Manager" alone please. (You may be as qualified as I am or even more qualified than I am, but it's all I've got.)


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

With my vast psychic powers I predict that it will launch in 2 weeks with the VIP headstart being next Tuesday.

*grins* The fact that you're asking this implies you didn't read their location or signature fields.

This is exactly the release date I predicted, but unfortunately the forum logout bug kicked me right as I tried to post it and I never got around to trying again.

Weird one here. Well, let's break it up and analyze. I'll make some major assumptions here, especially with the second part, so bear with me.


well okay feycat i love it now im happy it came earlier than i predicted
Well, okay Feycat. I'm happy it's coming earlier than I predicted.

Simple enough. evil women for pinn had made a post previously and Feycat corrected her. This is missing punctuation and capitalization, but otherwise is fine. The wording for "I love it now" is a bit odd and could be removed or replaced with something that fits better. I'll just remove it. Also, since the issue hasn't actually come out yet, it should be "it's coming" instead of "it came". But that's forgivable.


so now ill get to use AVs in missions so now my farming/mission doing will be faster
So now I'll get to use AVs in missions (with Summon a Signature Hero/Villain?). Thus, my farming/mission running will be faster.

This is probably the most confusing part. The only thing I can figure is that evil women for pinn is likely referring to the "Summon a Signature Hero/Villain Power" from the Paragon Rewards tree. It's possible that Pinn might be misunderstanding this power a bit, though I won't assume too much more. However, I'll note that the Summon a Signature Hero/Villain Power is a Tier 9 Paragon Rewards power and cannot be purchased in the store. It has a limited number of charges and doesn't even last all that long (five minutes, as I recall) Overall it's not very good for farming. Honestly, I'd stick with Shivans. I cannot think of any other changes off the top of my head that she may be referring to.

Other than that, the sentence just needs capitalization and punctuation. The major part missing is context, which I have to guess at. reworded to remove repeated use of "So now", but that's not really a huge error, just sloppy writing. I do similar mistakes all the time myself. Replacing "Mission doing" with "Mission running", though it could probably be made a bit better than that.


sry didn't read it ill look more next time
Sorry, didn't read the entire thread. I'll look more next time.

Another easy one. Politely apologizing for posting without reading the entire thread. Replace "sry" with the full word, add capitalization and punctuation. I expanding the idea a bit as well, just to make it easier to understand at a glance.

It is better, yes. What threw me off was you referring to using AVs in the game when the Signature Summon - which I assumed you were referring to - doesn't spawn them as AVs/Heroes, and because of its limited availability, they aren't going to help with anything other than tackling a particularly nasty boss or at most surviving an unpleasant ambush. Definitely not something you can rely on for farming, as I understand farming at the very least.

That's one thing to remember about the in-game consumables from the Store/Rewards system - they aren't game-changers and their availability is strictly limited. Veteran Reward consumables are time-gated and Paragon Store consumables are far too expensive to abuse even if you have money to burn.

Still, Freedom being live... What, the day after tomorrow? That's a good thing. I've played through everything that had stockpiled (that doesn't randomly crash) and I'll be making an evil Scrapper next.
