Oh god.

Brains.

Hurt.

OWWWWW!


So many things wrong with it that I don't even know where to begin.

GAH!

Need to apologize guys. Sat down with a book for a little while after work this evening and the next thing I know I'm waking up and it's 10PM.

Sorry to leave you guys hanging.

Glad you were able to fill up and put in a load of hurt on Manti.

If it came to that and this were last mission, I'd have petitioned to get a GM then asked the GM to disconnect the leader.

Also, if you're into the whole "Kirby Dots" effect, there's actually a free photoshop filter out there for it.

First off, don't even bother with Best Buy. They'll try to sell you a 15" Alienare job for $1200. It'll be "okay", but isn't really the best deal.

One small problem. 17" laptops with the powerful discrete cards you're looking for aren't cheap.

If the 17" screen is negotiable, I'd actually point you at something like this (nVidia) or this (AMD).

Okay, had an OGL crash last night. Granted, it'd been 4 days since the last one. But, till tweaking the driver for maximum performance, I had been getting crashes multiple times a day. While I'm not THRILLED to still be crashing randomly, it's better than it was. Hopefully the next version of the drivers that comes out fixes some of this.

Yup, you're running 35% defense.

That's going to get you eaten by Romans when you factor in their stacking defense debuffs.

While all that recharge is nice, you're much better off building for defense cap. And stoners are relatively easy to defense cap.

Looks better. But there's still a lot of "Look! I'm a real guy in a CGI environment!" aesthetic in there. At some points it is less noticeable, but at others, it just...pops.

A few things:


1: Welcome! Regardless of who you are, where you're from, or how long some of us have been here, nobody's really feeling any "Get off my lawn" for you. We're glad you've joined us. Come on down, stop on by, mash bad guy faces and fly, to another Paragon City niiiiiiight!

Sorry! Sorry! Couldn't help myself for some reason.

2: The server itself is relatively unimportant. ALL the servers have communities. And all of them are active. Some are just more populous than others. If you have specific things you want out of the game, ask around and people will give you information so you can make an informed choice for your "main" server.

3: Don't limit yourself to one server. There are lots of activities going on across multiple servers. If you like Hami raids, or ship raids, there's 11 (soon to be 15) servers where they're going on all week! Spread yourself around and work on alting a bit. This will give you options if you hit a burnout phase on one of your toons and need to switch. It also gives you options if you find an activity you like and want to experience it on multiple servers.

4: DO NOT STAND AROUND ASKING FOR TEAMS! Or at least don't do it for very long. Otherwise you spend more time begging for teams than you do playing. Find the various community channels on your server(s) of choice and join. These will give you extra resources for finding teams and getting in on events. It's also a great way to make friends.

5: You do NOT need to team 100% of the time. On some days, you'll just be in during a slow period. Don't just stand around waiting for people to come on! Run a couple missions solo. Try out AE. Work on your marketing a bit. If you're building a supergroup base, fiddle with that a bit. Heck! Help out other newbies for a while!

6: Don't let bad experiences put you off. Now, this game has lots and LOTS of great people playing. But, to be honest, there are also some people who can be...less than pleasant at times. Heck, even some of the really cool people have bad days and this can bleed into the game. My advice is, don't take offense. Don't let it put you off the game. And whatever you do, DON'T allow it to build into some high school drama. If this means putting an offender on ignore for a bit, go right ahead.

If someone is CONSISTENTLY a jerk, go ahead and use the player rating system. That way you get a nice heads-up so you can avoid playing with them in the future.

If someone who's normally cool freaks on you, just put them on ignore temporarily, find something to do, and give them time to cool off. Usually they'll catch a clue and apologize for their behavior.

7: TALK WITH YOUR TEAMMATES! Yes, there are lots of people here on TeamSpeak or similar voice systems. If you're not one of them, take time during missions and TFs to chat them up. Sometimes they can forget that not everyone on the team is using voice chat.

And if they're NOT on voice chat, make SURE to chat the group up. It helps keep good communications and prevent the team from splashing down as readily. It also encourages others to chat back. Great way to make friends when your teammate is getting wailed on, you run over and proceed to slap them silly while chatting him up and passing him a couple inspirations.

8: Don't be afraid to ask for information! Seriously, this game can be MAJORLY overwhelming for players when they're not familiar with the content. Hell, I've been here almost 3 years and some of the content still corn-fuses me sometimes. ASK about what's going on, rather than face-planting and relying on your teammates for rescue. I teamed with a gentleman and his wife tonight. The wife was brand new to the game and seemed a bit confused as we were steamrolling quite successfully. It took a couple missions, but we were able to answer some of her questions while we were planting foot in bad guy backsides. Hopefully the advice we gave will help her feel more comfortable in the game.

9: Learn how to use the friend and global system! When you find someone you have a bunch of fun playing with, ASK TO FRIEND THEM. If you play with them for a while, ask to global friend them. This way you know when they're on and it's easier to team with them. It also helps bring you in contact with each others' friends.

Well, I'd go on, but it's almost 3 AM here. So I'm going to activate my faceplant power.
