Embrace the reverse hug that is glorious Knockback. Glorious!

Damn shame. I am so tired of hearing the towel twisting against KB. I wish they would leave the KB in things that are supposed to knock things back.

so we have an @Snarky but not a @Snide Curious, someone is missing an opportunity.

Yeah still trying to catch the Becky badge.

They are all fun. I have a blast with my seismic Blaster and my Storm Blaster, Defender and Corruptor, and my two Marine Affinity and my ARS/ARS Dom. All fun. As for hokey? Building up fury is Hokey, Building up Domination is Hokey, Combos on multiple melee attacks hokey And of course POKEY is hokey. Now a few of the new ones are a bit OP, but that is just my opinion.

I blame Bernardo Gui.

Hope all your parked 50s on those low population servers names are still available when you transfer! 🙂

Different spelling.

Come on Princess Sparklepants!

Better than an Eminence Front . . . that whole thing was a put on! Darn! @ChzBoi got the joke in before me. Read Beam!

Up until about a week ago, KW was still butt crowded, zero ToT league availability problems, but not as much as it had been the first few weeks. And that right there is the issue statement; first few weeks. Many players have done what they needed to do, got their badges, got their aether, got their super fast levels so now there are just less players looking to ToT, which is why you have seen the return in volume of people doing content. So as fewer ToTers are occurring, more are gravitating toward PI. I mean last night there were three of them due to ToT volume. Now with regards to the traditional spot in KW where ToT was happening, yes there were a number of ToT League leaders who moved it to a different location that while having fewer doors, was a more dense dogpile of people and I saw no diminishment of XP. Furthermore that tight grouping resulted in the afk/sitters who had autofires on contributing more due to less movement away form said autofires. 🙂

Yeah Clockwork and the Skulls Arc are my go to low two. There is this one clockwork mission where they are literally saying "I hate <character>" Makes me laugh every time. The Lords of Death, if you do a little reading will find all three Cherno, Veles and Morina are Slavic dieties, from the Baltic region so every time Cherno does his speech to me I imagine Peter Stormare saying the words like Lev from Armageddon (yes I know he's Swedish). "Now I am real Superadine manufacturer!"

Look, I am sure there was a time, say in the 1920's that Candy Corn was considered good, I mean you could put sugar on just about anything back then and call it candy. But in 1942 when FDR mandated that corrugated cardboard and pencil shavings be used for the war effort instead of for making candy corn, that was when it should have faded as a candy. But then again that WAS the last time it was actually manufactured, they are still trying to get rid of the surplus.

Caleb. BatZul. Baphomet. Maybe King Midas since his candy company, being aligned with evil, is most likely making wretched Candy Corn.

Wow. I have been playing this game since day 1 live and I have never actually noticed those arrows, I always used color. I am still amazed that after all this time I can learn something new that is old. Thanks.

Why am I thinking of Lt. Savik when I see this character here. Peak Kirstie Ally.

How many loops can you pop in your 512 cable?

WB!

Someone say sidekick 🙂

I cannot be angry at this. Considering some of the modern crap I have been forced to sit through as of late . . . cant be angry.

I have a DP/MC and a DP/Nin (as well as a DP/Rad a DP/EA Sent, a Time DP DEF) but focusing, MC and Nin both play well to the close up fast nature of DP. Overall MC is far more stylistic and some great mitigation tools, but DP feels like its more damaging with the blade attacks. Tricked out with Set IOs I have loads of fun with them both but again, MC comes out slightly ahead.

Regarding inspirations I generally refer to their color alone except resurrection which are wakies. Break Free regardless of tier is break free. As for not using them. Well the game is easier so there's that. and a lot of sets are more powerful than they used to be or should be so there's that. I almost always sell all orange, red, yellow inspirations, regardless of size. generally maintain a lot of purple and green and for my endurance abusers blue.

Sir or Ma'am, I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

In game, story-wise I never had beef with any of them and I never associated real life people's personalities with their characters personalities other than those that I had direct interaction with (i.e. Positron and War Witch). I liked most of the phalanx characters and their sidekick Squad the Vindicators. I liked Statesman, iconic, heroic; he shouldn't have been killed the way he was. I did not care for Psyches obsession with Platforms (wretched cheat of a shoe). Synapse, Numina and Bastion/Citadel were fillers and Positron was the Task Force you hated back in the day not Synapse and thus I developed this weird sadistic respect for Posi. The Phalanx was set as a template even if they were dated, they were a thing for which your character could aspire to or to be greater than. The release of CoV messed that up and there are still times when I wish it had never happened; just given us new zones to play in and the new ATs. CoV diminished the story and the heroism of the Phalanx and the game as a whole. This is how I feel. But the game moved forward and thus heroes leave but i will always like the Phalanx, old and new and proudly wear my Badge
