    That's pretty much exactly how I knew, and I live in the frozen wasteland of Canada!

It's probably going up for 30mil just to make a little bit extra because the 20mil isnt good enough. I know exactly how 'some' people use the market.
    If someone's willing to pay a given price, what possible criticism can be leveled at someone selling for that price?

    This too, this would be amazing. I could finally make the fire sword character I have wanted to make, without the silliness of the other fire melee animations.
  8. I'd love to see animations for sonic blast that didn't involve my character hollering. Specifically the option for the sonic rifle or something. Actually I'd love to see all the non-weapon blast animations get a weapon option; rain of fire could be an airburst napalm grenade from a rifle, ice blast could be some kinda freeze cannon thing, that sort of stuff.

    Setting stuff up ahead of time is often a sign of a bad traps player. It's a great set for running in and ruining people's day on the fly. Seeker drones take the alpha, you throw out electric fences for a -KB AoE immob, then hop in and throw down a PGT and/or a tripmine, or maybe squat down and drop acid mortar. Throw out some procced-up caltrops, web grenade the odd runner, let your mechanical pals clean house. Chances are the spawn is long wiped before you get a chance to use all your tricks, which means the next spawn gets whatever you didn't use this time. My bats/tarps stops for nothing and slows only to avoid hurt feelings when I accidentally join a team with him.

    Of course if MMs aren't your thing then bots/traps won't be either. I can relate to the desire to beat them up yourself; for that I suggest a claws/WP brute or a claw/SR brute. Both are great.

    Same here. Not sure when it happens but the last two days I found myself logged out when I came to the forums in the morning.

    I read it and re-read it and assumed the OP was a mature female looking for like minded player's for friendly teaming.
    If that was the case, the OP would probably have described herself as a Latina rather than a Latino.
  14. My excitement over the release of GR is moderated significantly by miserable goings-on in my life, so the net effect is "survive this weekend, then things are gonna be ******* AWESOME." Going Rogue was a guaranteed must-buy for me the second they announced side switching, so everything else has been a wonderful treat on top.

    I'd say that Virtue has hiccups far less often than it did at the time that thread was made. It's certainly stable enough that I don't notice much, if any problem.

    Pretty much this. Stalkers are designed for some other game where AoE isn't the undisputed king of everything, and no amount of tweaks to damage and adding crits is gonna make up for that.
  18. My favourite part is the gas missile spam from what seemed like twenty Zeus titans instaholding everyone. Malta might not be a great choice for this sort of thing.

    Question ON Pain

    Works all the time. It's especially good for MMs who use bodyguard mode and share pain, because the self-damage of share pain is spread across the pets and then regenned away almost instantly.

    I will never leave my home but I feel I have to move one of my fully slotted all around Lvl 50 toons to a server that is really active for TFs, hami raids, etc. and has action all day or as close as possilbe. A play for merits oriented SG recommendation for such a server and/or channels to join there would be great too.

    Hey there, here on Virtue we run all kinds of fancy crap at all hours with all types. It's usual to have multiple strike/task forces recruiting at once, we have scheduled blue and redside Hami raids, we melt that mothership with aplomb and panache. Come on over and enjoy our friendly teaming environment! Here's some globals to join to maximize your experience!
    • Virtue LFG Alpha -- for teaming on most any sort
    • VirtueTFs 2010 -- for any sort of strike or task force, also trials
    • Virtuebadges09 -- for anything related to badges
    • VirtueUnited -- for shenanigans and teaming and chat (PM a mod to be unsilenced!)
    Come join Virtue, get in those channels, and make some friends here. You might even find that you want to emigrate

    Just for fun.

    Putting aside my other problems with this, here's some advice on starting this experiment.

    Mail all your inf to another character and start fresh. Your experiment was begun because you got a good run of drops, which has skewed your results. Start again and record your drops; analyze them for drop rates and report those drop rates so people can see that they are in line with what others have already reported. This will lend some amount of credibility to your results. Don't fail to report the time that you spend not getting purple drops and earning only ten million an hour. Don't count drop values until they are sold. Don't come in and say well I farmed for an hour and got ten purples when in reality you farmed for four hours, got one purple and it was a confuse. Record things.

    You've got an uphill climb ahead of you, because your known bias against the market leads others to suspect you of bias in reporting and skew in your results. To counter this, provide a high level of useful documentation. If you are unwilling to do this, then you might as well not start, because the experiment won't show anything at all.
  24. Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. I can't offer any advice for your problem, I am sorry

    edit: are you using a macro or bind like /petcomall def to set them?
  25. Hey there IssuePain, your post kinda reads like a dating ad Not trying to harsh your gaming experience, just pointing out how this reads to me. I hope your teams in the future are great! If you haven't already, you should think about joining Virtue's teaming channels, listed in the sticky. The short version:
    • Virtue LFG Alpha -- for teaming on most any sort
    • VirtueTFs 2010 -- for any sort of strike or task force, also trials
    • Virtuebadges09 -- for anything related to badges
    • VirtueUnited -- for shenanigans and teaming and chat (PM a mod to be unsilenced!)
    See you in game!
