I suggest forming a team to that effect!

Oh wait...

nvm. -.-

You're not supposed to talk about it! REMEMBER THE FIRST RULE

I really wish we could make a mission like that. Though I'd settle for the simpler "click a glowy in an empty map to spawn enemies" deal.

[/ QUOTE ]
I've seen this done in @PW's Teen Phalanx Forever. Things that spawn when a condition is met "save" a spawn point for later, meaning nothing will spawn there until the condition is met. If you fill every spawn point on the map with a conditional spawn, then there will literally be nothing there until you click the glowie.

ITT we all make sweeping generalizations about the playerbase.

I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who don't give two [censored] about story. I'm sure a lot of people just skip past all of the dialogue. However, the percentage of people who don't are almost certainly above 2%.

Personally, the creativity of MA is highly important. Of course, that's pretty much the point of having player created missions. However, if there were no rewards, not many people would play in it. I sure as hell wouldn't. While I enjoy story, this is an MMO after all.

One of the first arcs I made was originally supposed to have ambush waves, with each wave being custom made with a boss and minions. That got thrown out the window, of course.

Search @TheDeepBlue. All of his arcs are low level and top notch.

Ive decided that if ever I invent a time machine, I'll come back in tine and give myself the schematics.

Any day now, I'm sure to turn up...

Except that now you're just waiting for your future self to come back and hand it to you instead of figuring out how to invent it. Self-unfulfilling prophecy, as it were.

TF Commander isn't hard to get, can be fun to run through with your friends, and is well worth it just for the stat increase. Do eet!

No, I have it, but obviously wouldn't have it on a new character.

[ QUOTE ]
I find it very difficult watching any movie that displays contemporary computer systems... especially Independence Day where I was required to suspend my thinking entirely just so that I could believe Jeff Goldblum can decipher an Alien computer system and design a Virus to infiltrate it in just a few hours.


[/ QUOTE ]
I let him get away with it only because he's Jeff Goldblum.

We'll take it into as many threads as we possibly can.

I like Captain Smake. I think someone should make that character.

You know, I just might make Captain Smake.

I love Wormhole. On my grav/rad I'd grab a mob and chuck them in a corner, lay down an immob, and EF and let my team wipe them. It has a fast recharge and is just supremely useful, not to mention fun as hell.

I've seen it be a real pain in the [censored] with people that weren't used to using it, scattering mobs hither and thither. Even then, it's still fun to watch.

Pff, when will they learn to stick the reticle on the ceiling. Then you can start singing "IIIIITS RAININ MEN! HALLELUJAH IIIIITS RAININ MEN!"

[/ QUOTE ]

I especially love doing that on outside maps, putting the reticle in the sky. The beauty of bouncing Hellions makes me want a smoke...

...and I don't smoke. It's just THAT. AWESOME.

[/ QUOTE ]
A smoke? Or a smake?

I wish I was freakin' demorecording it. Seriously, my jaw dropped. I don't know why on earth it would have played the whirlwind animation, but it did, and it looked freaking AWESOME.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think some powers play that if you activate them while you're falling. My flying Broadsword Scrapper used to do that a lot when Avalanche Shamen hit me with -fly just as I was doing it. Probably not exactly the same reason, but BABs has said in the past that there are more animations, stances and modes than we can guess from looking at the game, and you've likely caused an animation to play from a mode where it was wrong.

[/ QUOTE ]
The weird thing is that I was just standing there. I was fighting a Longbow Ballista, it may have been caused by his knockback aura.

Still freaking awesome.

The space squid, er shark, won't wake up until the stars align right. Then it's DOOOOOOMMMM on a massive scale.

Until someone hits it with a boat.

[ QUOTE ]
Really this sounds more like a Longbow thing. Wyvern are just Manti's private army, and spending money funding guerillas... actually, never mind.

[/ QUOTE ]
You mean, as opposed to Ms. Liberty's private army?

You know, I wasn't even thinking about Lorenz Ansaldo's arc when I was making this. I have a hard time remembering the specifics of a lot of CoV story arcs, as there's just so many of them, and a lot of them just aren't very memorable.

Fighting Freedom is a 5 mission villainous arc for levels 21-30ish (level cap jumps around a level in either direction, and there's no cap on the 4th mission). It's been played at every level from 20 to 30. It has an EB in the last mission, who's either a piece of cake if you're on heroic or a monster on anything else. Just fair warning.

Qr - time travel stories are easy to compose without any messups as long as nobody says 'but what if bob had killed his grandad?'.

I walked to work today. I didn't get hit by a truck.

But what if-

Nope. It didn't happen.

Likewise, if a time travel story ends with the mcguffin that enables time travel destroyed at a point in time after any time travellers are extant and using it, then you're pretty much ok.

Also, today, I didn't open my front door to find myself standing there with a longer beard and the keys to a delorean. This means that whatever happens in my future, I will never give myself the keys to a time travel machine, even if I find one and want to. Various accidents may have already happened to my future self that prevented him from meeting me today. It's more likely though that he remembers not meeting himself today and so just hasn't bothered.

Unless meeting yourself in another time creates a time paradox and thus cannot happen.

See, it's all based on the rules you set for the time travel. As long as those rules make some sense without too much of a stretch, and stick to those rules, time travel can be done well.

is there a badge for that?

how many times do I have to smake or be smaked? Can you Ouro the Smake?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, to smake or not to smake, that is the question.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to endure the slings and arrows of outrageous smaking

Or to take arms against a sea of smakers.

And by opposing them? To die... perchance to smake.

Dude I love wormhole. That is, whenever I take my Grav/Psi Dom out for a spin.

I REALLY picked some late blooming powersets on that one
