Almost time to start Cicada Hero mech promotion!

http://www.wsj.com/a...rty-11616161488

After 17 years, Cicada ‘Brood X’ is about to emerge from the underground!

Ugh, I hate being reminded of this. While later ones have not been that bad, I still remember when they came out years ago and I was a kid, I had 2 crazy relatives who loved to go out Cicada bashing out of boredom.

I can see PGI offering up some new Cicada hero variant with a negative cool down quirk, whereby any weapon fired takes 17 seconds (it'll seem like years!) to cycle in honor of this auspicious occasion...then being truly baffled as to why no one wants to buy the thing. Yeah, I can honestly see PGI getting on board with this.

Hell no.
Comics used to be fun but even then me and my friends admitted what was wrong with them and things were different.
Now they are a train wreck.

We have Cicadas in the east coast of France every year. I have never seen those kind of cicadas that come only on 17 years periods =O

From what little I read and know, mainly the NA Cicadas hibernate for 13-17 years depending on type, other types around the world may not.
