Aww, but it's so much fun to log on and go WTF? over broadcast. It's so often met with similar responses!

Good to see you back A_C ^.^ Only saw this because of the red names, I barely check the forums anymore myself >.>

Just noticed Damage Proc Mini-FAQ wasn't working with new forums, it's been updated.
Welcome Back, A_C! Glad to hear you made it thru the weeding out years of engineering school.

That's not to say I don't know anything that has happened since I13, but the issues themselves became less distinct after that, at least for me. Paragonwiki says I left right before I16, so. |

Let us know when you dESpaiR finish all six arcs-- the ending is pretty nO fUTuRe awesome.

Well hello there AC and welcome back, gotta admit it sure doesn't feel like it has been 3 years. Also I have to agree that the Dark Astoria content is awesome. My favorite arc from it is the one from Solaris(2nd to the last one).
Always good to see an old vet come back for sure!

I'm on the Duncan arc at present. Sooo. Muuuch. Fuuun. Though since my scrapper doesn't have any incarnate stuff, she's surviving five-man spawns through sheer IO'dness and inspiration spamming (at least one every spawn). Makes the me from three years ago happy that said me could build a character that never goes obsolete!
Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.
I think Mot's WeiRd tExT is supposed to represent his InsAniTy and his DeSirE tO cAusE dEaTh aNd mIseRy.

He speaks in sentence case later on, so I infer that this is just Mot speaking in a garbled voice through whatever barrier is holding him in, not because he enjoys randomly hitting Shift.

Mind = blown. Blown like a.. well, like a simile I can't say on these boards.
I am literally in awe of the arcs presented here in Dark Astoria. I particularly love the "contact story" missions. The writing was phenomenal and awesome and incredible.
I.. I can't even complain a little. Wait, I tell a lie, I can complain because I can't complain, which makes me Purposeless_Citizen. I guess I'll go wander aimlessly and repeatedly bump into walls since I can't fulfill my main function any more?
Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.

This is my take on it as well.
AC, you should run the Signature Story Arcs as well. The writing is a little more hit or miss than the new DA arcs, but there are quite a few characters getting screen time that you don't see much of in the game.
I enjoyed them, but I also make a point of not over-analyzing the writing in the game.
I won't give anything away, but if you're like the majority of the rest of us, there is a particular character you are likely going to despise by the end of the first one.

So uh, you know. Welcome back.
Well, if you were going to ask me engineering questions, you might want to hurry.
Although PM me, and I'll give you a more permanent way to do that.

No. NCSoft is just full of idiots who wanted their OTHER games to be more successful than CoH.

For some reason they decided to hire a hawk instead of a human to carry on and improve this game.. which at the time of the announcement .. was a bit - hawkward lol
