Well, then, change the situation.

I'm just pointing out that there are exemptions in the 'go AFK, get disconnected' logic. Being AFK during an MSR is an issue only after the pylons are down, because the pylons don't give XP; once the league starts hitting the grates, XP starts coming in, and the AFK players can be leeching.

Except that instanced maps don't subject players to the AFK timeout -- the instanced MSR, trials, door missions, and SG bases won't kick idle characters.

There is also the 'standing at attention, arms crossing your chest' pose that you see mostly on Council Equinoxes for a 'standing guard' pose, but is more readily visible in the costume editor for a DP character when you are customizing their pistols -- you get a zoomed-in view with your character's arms crossed against their chest holding their pistols, but that pose doesn't exist as an emote.

<sarcasm> Because, of course, the game requires you to take a travel power at level 4; you're not allowed to pick any other power available to your character, and this cripples every single build in the game. </sarcasm> Seriously, your arm isn't being twisted to take a travel power at all; if you feel that it hurts your builds to take a travel power at that level, then don't.

There are many, but not all, under Model Replacement Costume Powers on the paragonwiki site. Some of them have different names -- the 'Vahzilok Costume' on the page is the 'Doc Buzzsaw Costume' in the Halloween and aether costume lists, for example.

You can always talk to her in Pocket D, upstairs red side.

I'm not sure, but I think that EndRdx in the power only reduces the End cost for summoning them. I know it's true for Recharge enhancements; they only bring the summons up faster.

In a bit of a pedantic attempt to improve the grammar on the forums, 'reign' refers to government -- 'the reign of King Charles'. When referring to something being drawn in or controlled, it's 'reined in', from the reins used to control riding animals. English homonyms may be confusing, but there are ways to regularise them.

Incidentally, the swordfish is green and little Eunice cannot paint the small overstuffed chair. The word is "albatross." Paint the chair red. Immediately.

From a post I made in the 'Favorite Quotes' thread: Headman Swordsman: I just don't get that 'stealing candy from a baby' thing. It'd be all gummy and gross. Who would want that anyway?

And the obvious theme song for this suggestion... "Where There's a Whip, There's a Way".

My eyes! Ze goggles, zey do nussink!

I am reminded of Robert Heinlein's statement "There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years, the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary to the public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute or common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back."

If you didn't keep tapping the junkies outside the rehab centers, you wouldn't have that problem... 😁 To keep with the thread theme: Ice/Ice Blaster - Mr. Freeze

Triage bacon? That's easy; it has no chance of survival, so it's best to eat it now.

It ranks up with how you can be beating on the end boss in a mission, and spawns in clear view of the fight just stand there -- "Look, the boss is getting his ass handed to him." "Shouldn't we go over and help him?" "Didn't he just put you on a week's KP for having a spot on your uniform?" "You're right; screw him, he should be able to take care of himself. Rescuing him from his own mistakes isn't in my job description." "Wait, did he just say 'I am invincible'?" "Shit, he's doomed now. I hear the cafeteria has chocolate cake today; let's go check it out." "I'm with you."

Heldenjager's TF/arc; the name is 'Brass Tuesday', with a level 40 minimum.

Some time ago, I put up a suggestion to have a 'vend all' option for stacks that would dump a whole stack into the AH, parceling it out into blocks of ten as necessary (greatly shortening things like dumping 100 merits worth of convertors into the AH), and the general upshot was 'you can already drag stacks of 10, it's not worth the HC staff's time to do something like this when there's so much else that needs fixing' .

It would be consistent with the theme of Arachnos' "rise to the level you can take" (particularly with the recording of Lord Recluse's speech that's on all the displays as you enter Grandville) that, if things are changed so you are able to contact Arbiter Rein for yourself before level 35, you get a different speech -- talking about how the challenges you will face are intended for someone with more proven experience than you have, but that Arachnos will let you be your own judge of your abilities and take the challenge anyway -- and have the arc's missions locked at a minimum level of 35, so if you start early, you're 'fighting uphill'.

Particularly the fact that lighting off Meteor doesn't put you in combat, so you retain things like stealth and the slow snipe.

No, it's based on, in going on 40 years as a programmer, seeing exactly this chain of "Make this change to make this one little thing more convenient!" [change made] followed by a long string of "The change does something I don't want if I use it without thinking first; fix it!" as people want ever more specific alterations that affect fewer and fewer people until the first change becomes more complicated to use than things were before the change was made.

So when NCsoft shuttered the game, it made them a CoX-sacker?
