Well i'd forgotten that Blasters even had an indicator bar for Defiance other than the Blaster's health bar, but then i wasn't playing Blasters much during the original Defiance period. During that period the closest i generally came to playing Blasters were my Defenders and their Negligence special ability had no UI indicator.
Edit: First post of page 160. Um, yay? Still, i'm almost embarrassed to admit that i'd doubted this thread would hit 150 pages by August.
My memory is pretty faulty at the best of times, so I'm not surprised I'm foggy about the details. I made various alts just to look at them, deleted them and went back to my tank.
and with the posts per page I'm set for I show 398 pages. I hope we have good news before 500. (!)
Still holding out hope for Christmas in the Chalet...
edit: ooh, and I'm at 99 posts. I will resist the urge to do a gratuitous post to hit 100. At least not until tomorrow.
edit redux: and thank you Aggelakis and Nyx for the input!
