@Walrus

Just no Sati's Playground. I guess everything else is on schedule. Wouldn't mind a beta key either, though

Cinematic 10.2-Vector-NI

This was a lot better than the first one, and was pretty good in its own right. Of course, you needed the white shirt, and I thought the 5 seconds or so of staring at Mauser's *CENSORED* while he was running was entirely unnecessary. Also,...

[10.3.1] Zion mission feedback thread: "Thou Madest Man"

You have no evidence that they cause any damage, longterm or shorterm. Your point is moot.

[10.2.5] Zion mission feedback thread: "Blip"

[10.2.5] Mach mission feedback thread: "Static"

Interesting that it was a "Signal" and not a "Simulacrum" as per the usual. I do like how things seem to be coming together. EDIT: No, it didn't speak to me, either. I figure that's intended. Oh, and Mauser's got a spiffy new duster.

Combat system??

If you don't like interlock, go ahead and use another class like hacker or gunman. Honestly, the fact that this game doesn't have a combat system as horrible as Star Wars Galaxies' is probably why I still play it.

Well, SWG is practically the walking dead. A KOTOR MMO would catch my interest, though. Especially if SoE has nothing to do with it.

If that's the case, that's fine and I apologize. I just don't want to see one of these (or two, as it may be) popping up every couple months like it seems to happen with the "Rate My Sig" thread and the "Real Life Pictures Here" thread.

Man, these really don't drop often enough. After hours of trying to get some, we got one enhanced level 50 shotgun. With over 300 of these things, it'll take forever to get them, and it won't be fun to do so.
