Just making a joke at the "I QIUT 4EVAR!!11!!!!!" or "DE GAEM IZ GUNNA DEI!!1!1!1!!!" crowd's expense.

Not so much mocking you, this is just something I have heard from gamers/internet-poster-types for years. For what it is worth, I have enjoyed your posts thus far.

Only sixteen to seventeen? The Devs must be doing something right. I am used to seeing that far more often. Gamers are a fickle bunch.

Of course by my last count, quit forever mathematically averages one week tops (a lot of times it is twenty-four hours or so).

Oh man.. You must need a hug or a drink. Perhaps even both.

"Why is everyone worried that I am spending too much time in Dark Astoria, and the place is starting to make me darker? The truth is, what I have seen, what I know... these are the things that have made me reconsider my direction in life. I am still a hero... I just do things my own way now."

I quit for 3 months...I was waiting for them to get the tech issues they seem to constantly be having with freedom solved.....Seems they do cause the game isnt down every other day. Now if I quit it will be cause I dont have the funds for a card right then LOL

I dunno, the mechanics of the Magesterium Trial just don't seem all that complex to me, even the final fight: if something looks like a big lightning strike, don't stand there. If something looks like a pool of light, stand there briefly and click a power. Otherwise, blast the big boy.

Of course, simple doesn't necessarily make it easy. Marcus 'It's got to be as big as I am tall' Cole hits quite hard indeed and regens at a fairly ferocious rate. Still, I saw a lot more struggling with the ITF initially then I am with this.

Still CoHzy after all these years...

Yeah not standing in the bad stuff standing in the good stuff is ..Well should be common sense!

I feel he should be a challenge. I don't feel you should steamroll the place and knock him off his throne. It's a ending to a very long story and Marcus is not a push over. Recluse should get ramped up too! It might be a bitter pill to swallow but the heroes ( or villains) do not always win. Unfortunately I have yet to actually face him since the only thing happening is farming

I encountered the new taunting.. for me it was also a new and exciting challenge one of my strategies is to eliminate the villains i am weak to before starting on the boss.. to have the boss prevent me from doing that by taunting me adds a very cool element!
