Me thinks he (previous poster(s)) were talking about Valiance Online and their recent website issues and not STO.

I thought they were talking about CO for a moment considering who he'd replied to and what the person said.  Perhaps I should have clarified there.

And Maurader's carapace #3 drops.  I hate the RNG sometimes, give me boots already D3!
Currently; Not doing any streaming, found myself with less time available recently.  Still playing starbound periodically, though I am thinking of trying other games.  Don't tell me to play mmohtg's though please :).  Getting back into participating in VO and the successors again to.

For my clarification, I was referring to co and VO at the end. So you are right Alex.
One day the Phoenix will rise again.

I had a dream about the announcement, it came on the same day I won the lotto! I could quite happily do with both things coming true!
We're almost there!  ;D

Found a nice Arachnos shirt on eBay. Simple black background and black logo. Anyone else know where I would get a hoodie or something in the UK? :3

I could certainly use the lottery winnings to remodel my car.

I'd love to celebrate by beating baddies black and blue in brickstown...or any other zone in CoH.

My dream the other night was a bit odd, I won the lotto, the game was announced as returning, then some greedy criminals mortally wounded me in an effort to get my winnings and a kind professor saved me by transferring my mind into a cyborg body and I arose as a new version of the Eight Man.

Tragically awesome origin story!

shortly after the staff power-set came out, I made a guy hat used a pool cue. He called himself The Eight Ball. I never did much with him though.

Well, that's what tends to happen when you're behind The Eight Ball.

Now that is a character I would have liked to have seen.

Perhaps one day......

Also, how many Gambit clones did you see after the Staff set was brought into the game?

I didn't see that many, actually. However, my brother made a guy in a business suit outfit with a staff. His "Hero Name" was Corporate Staff.

Well, that's what tends to happen when you're behind The Eight Ball.
There was a "behind the eight ball" thing in his battlecry. His outfit was combat boots, jeans and a T-shirt (all black) with an 8 on his chest.

I sort of had a Gambit clone, though that was just the original outfit (and even then, he wasn't so much Gambit as he was Wraith, from Amalgam Comics).  I was having trouble coming up with a costume for my Staff/Dark Brute, and so I googled for Staff and Darkness, and when he popped up as one of the results, I ran with it.

That was just his starting outfit, of course.  I kept tweaking it until it didn't look like the comics character.  And the background was my own silly creation.  He was Magic-origin (not Mutant), and from memory, his bio was along the lines of "My friends told me not to pick up the Cursed Staff of Darkness.  I said 'How can it be a staff of darkness?  It's all golden and shiny!'  Shows what I know...."

Now that is a nice variation of the Eight Man.  I've identified all the costume pieces except the gloves which ones did you use?

Thanks! :D

And it was the "Justice" gloves. Just the basic version without the extra plate.

Ah, of course!  I just finished  building that suit in my ICON, then saved about 4 variations of it, all with different chest number to avoid potential troubles when the game returns.  Tech sleek gloves and boots look good with that setup too.

Got to say, of all the cyborg characters in pop culture:

Eight Man
Cyborg 009
Bionic Man
Robocop
X-51/Machine Man
Astro  Boy
ROM, Spaceknight

and others I can't think of at the moment, I'd rather be the Eight Man then any of the others.

Pretty sure that's a robot, not a cyborg (as is X-51 and Astro Boy).  If it was actually a cybernetic daggit, that would have been actually kinda horrifying.  Particularly the ears.
