    ALTS:






    There's a good chance I might do one of those each weekday mornings next week. Or at least squeeze a couple in next week.*


    I'd like to get in at least one of the big four (LR, States, Khan, Cuda) before GR hits.

    Please remove my details from this project. I no longer wish to be associated with it nor many of the people involved with it.*

    This did get a real LoL from me.
  4. I have to admit, I do not have all the code information added to my accounts. (And there's a lot. I have a booster/costume issue.*) If asked for those ... I'm done. I'd hope they'd accept correct answers on a good proportion of those questions but if it's all or nothing... ewwww.

    Yes that's lovely thank you but server status says "UP". Now I've seen three lots of maint announced (27th, 28th and Aug 3rd) which didn't actually happen. I know because I was actually in-game during those 'maint' periods.

    So I'm wondering if this is a DB issue or if it is maint. Because normally when I try and connect during maint, I can't log in. At the moment I can get to the character screen and connect until I'm dumped out with a lost connection message. When I try to log back in, it says "account logged in".

    So .. is it maint, is it a connection issue or is it that someone needs to feed the hamsters?


    EDIT:
    Unless the server page is broken too. Which is possible as my globals are convinced I am playing on Justice. I have chars on five servers and Justice isn't one of them.
  6. Totally knackering my badge tracking, though.
  7. Belated bacon stealing. Er giving.
  8. My first character, my main and my badger: DB/WP stalker.

    Yes. A stalker and DB too boot. I loved the sounds from the first attack. I love the combos (oddly I can't get into the other AT's DBs; their combo's are different). Fantastic mitigation in form of the knockdowns, 1000 cuts and the Sweep combo is my AoE and willpower is just beautiful. I miss it every time I play another secondary and get mez'd.*

    I'd exemp'd down last night to help a friend out. "I can one shot pretty much anything up to orange." I tell him. *Trundles up to red Arachnos* *STAB* *Dead Arachnos* "And red", I amend. Friend: "LOL". Later that got changed to purple. Ah good evening's stabbing that.
  9. Final MoLG - Friday 6 Aug 10 AM EASTERN - SUCCESS!!!!!! (Sinner now has all available badges!)

    Got Hacked >:(

    I have to admit, I wasn't thrilled when these forum logins became the same as our game log in. I like having different passwords for everything and linking the two doesn't seem the best plan.*
  11. Would a troller mind cut it? I thought the idea is Domination which makes it the kicker?
  12. I've got the same plan as you. Get MoLR on my badger and then offer the Dom to anyone who wants the badge.

    She's very small as you know mind/energy but I want to build a mind/ice too (concept already thought of).

    When they're 50 and IOd, I'll yell.
  13. Welcome to bacon can and cookie server!

    Nice to see people migrating here.*
  14. My only issue with the way the NCSoft did Pre-purchase was the inability to pre-purchase the complete collection.

    I don't care about the free time, but the inconvenience of having to get the pre-purchase and the costume pack on release day is annoying. Had they have allowed pre-purchase of the complete collection (ex game time), I'd have purchased it for both of my accounts. I cannot be the only one whose response on release of a booster is "oh no, the store is going to crumble".

    As regards the Gamestop deal, it makes no difference to me being in the UK. I'd be happy if I could get hold of a CoX box without having to have it shipped from the US.
  15. Played another game, drank a lot of tea and swore at the idiot who didn't mention the forum log in wouldn't work.*
  16. UPDATE - THIS RUN HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY 6 AUG 2010 10AM EASTERN. Servers were up when I logged on at 9.30 am but we only had five people online at 10.30am. I didn't want to pug three spots, so with apologies to Sinnersaint and the others, I'm rescheduling rather than PuG it.


    ++++++


    Just a reminder to everyone. The servers didn't seem to go down today which was odd. But anyway; 10am EST or as soon as the servers come back up please (which if they go down at the scheduled time should be 11am EST). If we aren't able to make a start by noon EST, I'll have to reschedule.*


    Come in MoLG badge no 6. Your time is up.


    Oh next week I want to do a couple of MoITFs before hitting the single-side SF/TFs.*

  17. Mr Scrapper better hope he is never on one of my MoLG runs. I am the instruction bot. I give a run down of how we're doing each mission before we start off. I won't even put the Hami mission UP until I've ran through how we're going to play that bit. And I recap at each section on that too. Patience there and the rest of it shouldn't be tricky really.

    Having said that, so far I'm at 5 MoLG badges including a bubbler using 25 IOs and a Corrupter with 1123 HP. And at least one member of one of those successful MoLG runs had never even done a LGTF before.

    So I think less pew pew works sometimes.

    On a side note, the longer I've played the more strict I've become about quitting teams where it isn't fun. I don't mean a six person Sara Moore without a tank and one person with a team heal or a five person LG at 5am with a kin as the debuffer; that's painful but doable. I mean the unadulterated idiocy shown by Mr Scrapper there. If he's that much of a muppet early on, it really isn't worth staying. Plus it's easier for them to reform on mission one (if they want to) than later. Not to mention lowering my blood pressure. (Us old folks in game you know; not like those whipper snapper 13 year olds. )
  18. I admit that I have two computers next to each other and during the Reactor section and Numina hunts, I read the news on the other machine.

    But I heartily agree. Both of those could do with an overhaul. And if no one has done so already, please can someone get Faathim a phone.
  19. Am I having time zone issues again or did they forget to do this? It is the 27th right and 10am ish Eastern now? Because all the servers are up.
  20. While there are some good ideas here, I think some of it is just too advanced maybe. I have to recommend peterpeter's ideas here. It's a great starter to make reasonable money without HUGE profits, I've used it a lot and so has a friend of mine. Really handy when I branched out to new servers.

    * Tutorial Inspirations I sell for 100k each
    * Buy normal recipies cheap and sell them to a vendor (make sure you understand how the vendor sale price is worked out)

    I usually let my chars be do that without any help from my other characters until level 12 or 22 depending on how skinflint I'm being. At that point I do make IOs with my main on each server for them.

    Now I have a project on Virtue who only does the TFs and who doesn't have IOs made for him. He's currently 25 and I've burnt through all the inf he has picked up on Posi 1 & 2, Synapse and Sister Psyche and a million I sent to him because I couldn't afford enhs and refused to do a TF while unslotted. So I understand it CAN be tough, particularly if you solo a lot.


    The MA rolls and flipping will get you bigger rewards in the long term but you need cash behind you to do that even if that's buy enhancements to do MA arcs to get the tickets. So from a very low stake, I'd go for peter's suggestions. Personally I don't like using Merits to buy recipies for profit because I use those merits to outfit my characters. YMMV.

    I know there is a guide somewhere something like 10 million by level 6 but I can't find it at the moment.

    Best of luck.
  21. I really hope this doesn't involve a gigantic update after the downtime.
  22. Sigh. Thanks MM. Ok guys right after maint then.
  23. Photoscape. I prefer it to Gimp and Paint.Net. It does what Office Picture Manager can do and a lot more.

    I use it to create posters for the local cat charity. Great free program.
