EPN sets off code bombs?

Popper was different. He knew something was wrong, his mind was prepared to accept the shock of waking up in a pod of goo. Plus, Neo & company may have been watching him the whole time (very likely, they were the ones to call him) and quic...

EPN sets off code bombs?

I haven't seen EPN blow any code bombs in... years. Well, okay, there was Taecross. And Taecross's fan club with their annual code bombings. But those guys are just crazy. ;p And as far as I know the Code Pulse doesn't actually do any dama...

I apologise for my earlier outburst. I'm just frustrated over everyone being Pyro. Those flames are really disorienting, and I'm dying a lot faster than usual, which is also a peeve riser in me. But still, I hate those Pyros. ^.^

What's up with the new Sentinel?

I'd rather the Cinematics just came back. When you think about all the people involved in making them (at least two voice actors, an illustrator and an animator) and how much money the game "saved" (or lost less), you could at least expect...

Nope, ya gotta be the minimum level to be able to use it. Otherwise there'd be a bunch of level 25s in Mara C wearing all super buffed clothing and kicking level 50 butt. That would be awesome, actually.

So, wait, when you say it resets every ten seconds, does that mean it slips back into its starting "frame" or however you do it, or does the next loop start where the old one left off?

[10.2.4] Merv mission feedback thread: "Smoke"

Seemed pretty clear to me that Mauser overrode a Dire Lupine and used it to sneak past the Merv's sentries. I might be wrong, but judging from these other Override sightings, I wouldn't doubt myself too much.
