LOL, I never said give up. My PB is in the top three toons I regularly play. My comments towards you are more along the lines of...you type up walls of text, the same walls of text that people have been sharing for years about dissatisfaction with PBs.

Its your internet and your time, please carry on and I hope you get some satisfaction at least in venting. It just so reminds me of people on the PvP forums still VEHEMENTLY compaining about i13 changes. It is what it is, you can rant/rave constantly about what you dont like and appear to be pissed off to no end or you can make the most of what is currently offered and enjoy the game.

Another strawman deal here lol -
If you tell your wife that you really want to spice up the bedroom and she says shes gonna work on it, but never does and years pass by...whats that tell you?

You are not talking to yourself hence the great discussions found just in this one thread. The hundreds of pages of people talking about changes, improvements and ideas on the Kheld forums seems to indicate thought that the devs have other priorities. Should i go back to my chocolate cake for dinner reference?

The world hunger concept was more about me wishing people felt as strongly about that problem as you do about Kheld changes, but strawman is as strawman does. All I'm saying is that you can ask the devs to talk to you about something that people have been asking the devs to talk about for years. Honestly (no snarky), I hope it works out better for you than it has for everyone before you that have felt so passionately about the same topic.

Just like with PvP, the devs know what changes players want for Khelds. Like...I don't have to discuss it with my folks that I'd rather eat chocolate cake for dinner most nights, they're already privy to the concept since I'm so vocal about it. They just chose to give me spinach and liver instead for whatever crazy reasons.

It's healthy/productive to talk about Kheld or PvP changes on the forums, but there has to come a point after years of the same ideas being presented when you realize there's no point in getting worked up or expecting a lot.

As some say, "hope for the best, but expect the worst".

I LOLd.

Totally agree @ DK.
On top of it all, I didn't even delve into the Incarnate play until about 2 months after it was released...between juggling way too many toons and getting a few of them accoladed for PvP etc, I just never bothered with it. Even now, I'll do a trial here and there, but 75% of my toons have not become"Incarnate qualified".

And to Spit Fire...
can I have your stuff please

1st!

According to the news, Irene is stacking Hurricane and debuffing like six states at once right now.

Good point E.

Also...
maybe MTV will continue filming episodes of 'The Jershey Shore' with most of the cast members meeting untimely demises (not really wishing any harm, but I like the idea of it).

I hear ya Sam.

So thats 2 people in the game that would pick the wheelchair option

On top of the difficulty in pulling it off...I can't imagine many ppl would use it. I like your fantasy idea though

Does Triumph even have PvE action anymore?

San, you run that KM/Elec Scrapper right?

I'm too busy RPing in Pocket D on Virtue lately since my toon slots on Freedom are full at the moment. But I've seen and talked to 4s Katana Stalker in SC in the past...kind of hard to miss him since he's the only Katana Stalker I've ever seen. He was always redside prior to GR so if you were red as well...probably just never noticed him.

Check out post #9 of this thread.

All good man, I'm not ancient yet, but old enough to realize there is wisdom grounded in the concept of "to each their own". I'm not a musical authority either, like you, I have a solid feeling towards what I like. Unlike you though, I try not to take away from any artist just because I dont like their particular style.

I obviously live in NJ and enjoy a little Bruce Springsteen and in a smiliar vein can jam to some Bob Dylan when the feeling moves me even though I wasn't exposed to these artists growing up. My mother on the other hand hates both of them based on their voices and lyrical content, she just doesn't "get it" (she grew up in the soul/R&B camp and is rather exclusive in her tastes). All I can do is smile and say, "yeah yeah" when she tells me to change my cd if I'm driving her from point A to B. Really though, how can anyone take away from The Boss or Dylan?

It's really just about recognizing that because you don't like a paticular artist or musical style (YOU CANT SPELL CRAP WITHOUT SPELLING RAP!!! - love when ppl say that one lol), it doesn't take away from the fact that an artist actually has talent or a music genre has value. I have zero affinity in the creative field of making music or being able to sing/hold a note...which probally makes it easier for me not to pass judgements so quickly on an artist claiming they have "no talent".

As far as Bruno, I feel he does a nice job combining old and new and I dont think that its easy creating songs that contain a mixture of rock, soul and hip-hop that play out well enough for the masses to enjoy overall. I don't know what you like, but if you're not a big fan of those genres of music, I can see why you could discount him.

Kryph0n...dont hate, appreciate

His name IS FourSpeed...so "Regards, 4" in closing doesn't sound stupid at all.
And this thread definitely was a joke, same joke people have been telling since i13.
Such animosity...please continue channeling your rage into the internet.

I would think the comparison has to deal more with how tragically history can repeat itself...with genius also comes madness anyone? Very different music styles with Joplin being ahead of her time and like the first female rockstar I was ever aware of.

I think though that I can see why some would portray Winehouse as being untalented & plain terrible. It seems to me that people who listen moreso to rock N roll would prefer Joplin and those that are into RnB/soul may prefer Winehouse. No comparisons, but its like the people that are in the Temptations camp versus the Rolling Stones camp...I'm just thankful that I'm a fan of both and can appreciate the different genres.

But...
- both were vocal powerhouses, almost impossible soulful voices that I found hard to believe came from such scrawny "white" chicks (no offense intended, just saying)
- both had very public struggles with alchohol/substance addictions
- both attribute their inspirations to begin singing to African-American blues and soul artists
- both, regardless of musical direction, were unconventional singers that exploded into the mainstream like supernovas
- both styles were focused on the 60s, not that Joplin had a choice; Winehouse was also mostly a 50s-60s revisionist singer
- both were an interesting mix of raw talent and poor impulse control

You could find a dozen more comparisons if you were interested in digging up info...I personally think both were amazing. I try not to focus on comparing one to the other in the overall scope of talent b/c Joplin wins hands down obviously (due in part b/c she was like I said, ahead of her time). On the other hand, you can't take away from Winehouse having written most of her songs, having racked up monster record sales between Europe and America and having received 6 Grammy nods (5 wins) by the age of 24.

Agreed, I just got my Dark/Rad Fender upto 28% - 30% defenses across the board (minus psi @ 24%). Pretty yummy indeed and a lot of fun.
