I'm always up for visiting one of our fine Boston pubs.
You say when and where, and I'll be there!

EDIT: Yeah, yeah. Read, THEN comment. You'd think I'd know that by now....


Getting XP while joining a lower level friend? LOVE IT!
(They're even trying to make it so you keep all your powers.)

I've heard that there's a person (I may know them) that plays a petless Master Mind.
I've heard that this person notifies teams of this fact when they join.
I've heard that teams appreciate this information given up front.
I've heard that teams sometimes choose not to play with this person.
I've heard that this person excepted that happenstance when they created the character.
I've heard that this person doesn't hold it against others who expect a Master Mind to have pets.

Now, I may have heard wrong, but all that seems perfectly reasonable to me. People get to make characters as they see fit. If someone wants to create a non-standard character, then there's nothing wrong with that. However, they should understand that others may not wish to participate in their experiment. They should not expect others to follow or understand their vision.

See? Everyone is a little right and a little wrong, as usual. Play how you want, and don't expect others to lay the same way. Applicable in both directions simultaneously.

I lost my subscribed threads. I don't like that.

Edit: I also miss having a home page where I can see only the boards I like.

I won't attend if people on the Broadcast channel are allowed in the zone.

Similar to someone who drives 45 MPH in the fast lane on the highway, he followed the letter of the law but disregarded common decency along the way.

This is technically inaccurate. He did not follow the "letter of the law" entirely. While it is not against the EULA to teleport a foe into drones or a mob, his actions were forms of harassment, which violates local and state laws observed by every state.

However, these laws are not always enforced, so it becomes easier to claim that they are not against the rules, like jaywalking.

Also of note, his tactics were considered against the spirit of the game enough to elicit the DEVs to make alterations making such tactics more difficult.

Hippo, birdie, 2 ewes.
Hippo, birdie, deer, sea, aye.
Hippo, birdie, 2 ewes!

I don't care if he was also LS. If you act like a jerk, then people will treat you like one.
Being a jerk isn't against the law, but that doesn't make it right either.

Edit: Mind NOT blown.

True story. I've cornered the market on Old.

BS. Comparatively, you're still a young pup. Dang kids. Git the heck off my lawn!




And, thanks for the tip, Iltat. I'm always curious about when to craft and when to buy pre-crafted, if you get around to taking subject requests.

I still see redside activity, but it seems mostly regulated to SG teams. You may also want to consider putting your characters into an active SG, or at least forming a coalition.

To find teams, I recommend joining a large global channel. Those seem to work for most people.

I remember playing the game with only SOs, and before major nerfs.

How exactly has the game gotten so much more difficult that one NEEDS to slot purples in every (or any) slot?

I understand the badge chasers using repeat methods to generate the mobs they need for a badge, but the AE XP farmers produce players who can barely function, even fully slotted with purple IOs.

Now, that's a first post!

I'll join you with any AT & build you want, as long as I get to sit there and go do something else that's fun while you run stuff. Afterward, I can just delete the character like it wasn't there, because I won't be.

Do you meant the Dominator changes in Issue 15, or is it an old guide?

I was actually looking for a term synonymous with "Discovered Attack" for the Praetorian name, but settled on "Checkmate" when I couldn't find anything suitable in the 2 minutes I allowed myself to look.

X-Ray?

I've always heard it called an x-ray attack anyway, since it targets a piece behind another piece.

After all, isn't the intention to have a good time and see if any Championites are actually hot chicks?

I'll sit at the table with the hot chicks.

What the heck is "bodyguard mode", and how DO you turn it on? o.O

[/ QUOTE ]

Play a Mastermind, and follow the directions.

[/ QUOTE ]

See, I knew about the Mastermind thing, but the original comment seemed like they were talking about putting a player's character into "bodyguard mode" (as opposed to a pet). Even long-term veterans can misinterpret concepts when presented in unfamiliar terms or out of context.

Don't forget about this coming up in I15:

"Defeating the Hamidon has had its Merits awarded increased from 40 to 52. This was due to a merits per minute recalculation made in a previous patch that was overlooked for the Hamidon."

I'd recommend waiting until live. From the Dev comments, it's pretty clear that they are working toward a good balance. I'm sure that the numbers will change again (and again), in the player's favor.

Right here.

PvP bragging is like people who show off pictures of their kids all the time, or try to tell "cute" stories about what their cat did that was so funny.

Win.

If I put quotes in my sig, I would use this.
I'm tempted anyway.

Sigh. I feel so under abhorred on this server.

I learned all that I know about Tanking by going to Tanker Tuesdays. I did that on purpose. I wanted to understand the role and capabilities of Tankers better. I may not be one of the premier Tankers on the server, but I think that I got a lot better on my way to 50, and certainly understand things well enough to team.

Personally, I'm in favor of helping people get to know the game better, in whatever way works for them. If they end up attaching themselves to the SG that taught them, that's just natural.

Good luck, I say!

All sarcasm aside (except for that, and this), I presume that you'll be forming teams at the site of the contact.

I'll do my best to come join you for these, and I have several villain types to offer, depending on the needs of the team at the time.
