I have some praise to give, and a complaint.
Its like good news and bad news, and for some strange reason people always want the good news first rather than getting the nasty stuff out of the way and finishing on a high.
So here goes.
Bravo.
A nicely executed story-line ending in a nice little twist with increased stats for us all in the way we can gobble stim packs and some different enemies to face.
Not only that, but the lead up has been there for a few months, so this has been a while in the planning.
Even better, we have had a building story that has been released in stages through news bulletins and missions that has led into a different kind of raid. Alright, so the raid itself was a bit soft for my tastes (I've had more problems getting a date with Tory than the bugs gave me) but it has been a very fine job nonetheless.
And the fact that the payout chances for raid prizes were increased did not go unnoticed, nor unappreciated. Never let it be said that I sniffed at 300 tons of free mech.
But alas, there is a down side.
The mess.
And the smell.
MY GOD BUT THOSE THINGS STINK!!!
And as for trying to get the remnants off your mech, give me two hundred mating Snavuurm anytime....
Somewhere in the genetic ancestry of the Ambershard Stalker, I'm sure there is a mix of axle grease, chewing gum and 2 week old babies nappies.
Industrial cleaner doesn't work. Alcohol doesn't do it either, not even the rotgut that Pat keeps in the supposed hidden compartment behind the false back of the bottom drawer of his genetically coded locked desk that he thinks nobody knows about and certainly that we can't open. Even if he is giving me funny looks because he can't recall drinking that much.
Standing in the middle of Novum Dolorum and putting a looping broadcast on your external speakers proclaiming that 'All Redheads are of dubious virtue' so that they can employ all form of heat related military grade weaponry on your mechs does not, in fact, shift the damn stains.
When I have to resort to an angle grinder and a respray, I'm definitely getting a bit miffed.
But apart from that, nice job.
