    With my payment my account is playable until November 14th. I better not drop the ball on that last one day because if so it'll be an epic fail.
  2. Signing up for 3 months right now. That'll get me through November since I already have time.
  3. Serious question: Will the AE unit rules be changed for this? I'm speaking of course of the ability to place low level enemies (Hellions, Sky Raiders, Goldbrickers) higher than their natural limit.

    It seems that with this new system it will be possible for high-level characters to exemp down to level 1, keep all their powers while fighting Hellions, and still get exp. So I'd like to see the levels changed for variety sake for people who want to make stories with more units.
  4. Just so you don't feel like you're alone, I have the Pre-Issue Blues. I'm not even playing lately. When I'm waiting for a new issue to come out, I lose interest in the game because I don't want to play the game without the new stuff. It's really bad now because I'm not just waiting for i16 but also GR. Though I plan on making at least 4 characters when i16 hits, so that'll keep me busy.

    The game doesnt start to get enormously fun until lvl 32 when you have lots of powers.
    It shouldn't. For people who know what they're doing. For new players and people trying out the game? Not as easy.

    I'm pretty certain its only the WarWolves. And not just cuz the Wiki says so, but when I've hunted for this badge, I've only noted progress on the progress bar when WarWolves were killed.
    I too have hunted this badge, and killing all the wolves counted, because it would've taken about 500x longer if they hadn't.

    Maybe in the 'Mutant' Booster?
    I just want a fox tail for my kitsune, and my friend who has a raccoon.

    So with two 30% resistance debuffs, damage would come out to be:
    1 * (1 + (0.3 + 0.3)) = 1.6 or +60%
    And not:
    1 * (1 + 0.3) * (1 + 0.3) = 1.69 or +69%

    EDIT: In other words, they're additive, not multiplicative.
    It's too bad it doesn't still work like it used to, where ticing debuffs would repeatedly stack with themselves and continually debuff the previous debuffed value until all enemies hit by Freezing Rain have minimum RES!

Outliers aren't bad, they add variety. (feel this way about all the ATs, not just doms)
    I know they didn't quit the game. They're still on my friend list. What I said is they immediately deleted the character.

    Dream Duo

    I've always thought that Willpower + Cold Domination would make a hell of a combo. Willpower is really strong in its own right, but Cold Domination has the ability to both boost all of WP's greatest advantages as well as fill in all of its weaknesses. Willpower with +HP would have tremendous regen and a lot of HP buffer, and Cold would be able to add to its exotic resistance (which is one area where it lacks) as well as buff up its typed defense (to levels where it could dodge things very well). Between all those things, WP would be unstoppable in a duo.

    The math still stands though! Before you were doing 0 damage, and then you double it and get to do 0*2 damage!

    What the hell is "Silly Walks" supposed to convey? (Wasn't even on the thread where some player is asking about getting the ability to make our characters walk instead of always running.) Then there's "Loon," "Bad Videos are Bad," and "NEG NEG NEG".

    Even more bizarre is that the bulk of my negative rep comes from posts that are not exactly confrontational or controversial.

    Maybe there's actually a bounty thing here in the rep system that works like Siren's Call does... some random individual with a positive rep higher than X (or negative rep lower than X) has his/her name come up, and you have to pick a random post and either ding them if they're positive, or boost them if they're negative. Whichever side wins enough rep mods takes control of the forums for 5 minutes or something.

    It works the same way as ratings.

    Say something you played has 5 stars. You think it's only worth 4. Instead of voting 4 because you think that's what it's worth, you vote a 1 to bring down the total average in an attempt to make it a 4.

    You have a lot of points. People don't think you're worth that many, so they downvote you on principle.

    tl;dr version: Jerks.
  13. Rogue Entertainment's 14th Weekly Redside Costume Contest

    Here's everyone who came this week. I won't lie, though. I was kind of disappointed with the costumes this week. I had a hard time picking out 10 people total. I also got some flak for a few of my picks. Still, we had fun, and it was a good refresher since we haven't done much lately due to events. I also got some costume ideas from other people who showed up.

    Prizes:
    1st: 10m
    2nd: 5m
    3rd: 2.5m
    Runner-ups: 1m

    Female runner-ups
    :
    Grass Lass
    Anika Soren

    Third place:
    Eclipsed

    Second place:
    Lady Eioh

    First place:
    Shandirra

    Male runner-ups:
    Wario- - Level 1!
    Michio XP

    Third place:
    Sid Wicked - Level 6!

    Second place:
    Greg The Enforcer

    First place:
    Cash For Clunkers - Level 2!

    That's all for this week. Reikou may be replacing my usual helper, or at least attending for the future. Lots of our income is taken care of now, but we're always still taking donations for the future. Next week will be around Sunday at 11:00. See you all then!

    Still as in "despite all evidence that Doms are better off now and improved a lot, they still said 'psw nerf? ragequite!@' as soon as the issue launched."

    Game Over!
    This game isn't near as fun when there's a limit.
  16. I still know someone who immediately deleted their Mind/Psi Dom when i15 hit without even testing the new changes.

    I don't know about dream duo, but my friend and I are planning on pairing an Ice/Cold Controller and a Fire/Earth Dom.

    Add your tags here. Make sure to keep them on topic. srsly
  20. I started spreading weird and nonsensical tags pretty much as soon as I noticed the feature. Waiting to see if I get slapped by a mod or if they don't mind when I tag things with "john wayne"

    Eh, for one, unless you're WALKING across the zone, the pet isn't going to be right next to you and won't be causing aggro on you. Even if they are near you, they follow if you're moving and won't stop to attack unless you stop. It'll more likely fall far behind and get killed if anything. Two, it takes all of two clicks to dismiss a pet, or one if you make a macro.
