VIV!!! Happy Birthday!

WOOHOO! Happy birthday Coz!

Pencil me as a maybe if you run on Friday. I should have at least my emp ready to go.

Probably will work on debuffers next.

Just 3 of my 50's unlocked so far. Debating on what to do with the rest of them. The arc is already getting kind of old.

As for slotting, instead of unlocking more, I was on an ITF with my emp def and got 7 additional shards plus the Nictus at the end. So looking to see if I can craft for the slot.

Respec or unlock...respec or unlock...new animations or respec...

Just tossing out black hole IOs suggestion too (link in sig).

/unsigned for me. Pride is not something I think the devs can program for.

Anyhow, it really is no difference. I still play toons I made six years ago. Does it matter I got to 50 in 10 weeks for one and 9 weeks for another? Overtime, it all washes out.

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Will be with some family and tons of food and mucho wine, plus a few good helpings of dessert - looks like apple pie and chocolate pie this year - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...food coma.

DC, for me, SHamster is closest to what I am thinking. I liked the flexibility in this game and starting to see change. I didn't need to be all decked out in purples or require stone tanks for every TF and so forth. Incarnated without any doubt will change that. Two TFs for now, but that is one slot so far. Nine more to go. I'll run the new arc and some TFs as time permits, but I only see me getting a couple of toons done by the holidays.

Anyhow, I liked that I could jump on any toon and just play to relax. Now that won't happen anymore.

Too many quotes to reply too.

Anyhow, not so much doom for the game, but just that the game is changing and not sure I can stay on the ride if it does. I will be like Voo (lol! words I did not think I would type today (or ever )) and not really starting any new projects. I will try to focus on a few toons to get the alpha slots. But I am going to miss the days of just doing what I feel like doing that evening. And in that I can't see the future slots being any easier to get (mobs/missions will be tougher). The arc for the alpha slot wasn't too bad, but i can't see that staying the same for later ones.

Gah, I am just at a lost of words for now trying to describe this. Doesn't feel good is all for me.

Well, going to post a question, just for discussion's sake. I was chatting with a friend last night and got me thinking on why I quit DAoC. In short, it became a chore when Trials of Atlantis came out. Get those master levels became a huge deal. It practically ended my usefulness for RvR. I use to be able to log on and within minutes be out fighting punk Mids or LOLAlbs.
But then ToA came out and I couldn't last the opening seconds any group fight. I tried to get into the raids for the master levels, but RL was too busy for me.

And that is how I am seeing Incarnates. The opening arc will already be a pain to a few toons not set up to solo EB/AVs. Then getting the shards to craft to fill the slot. I am dreading to see what the next 9 slots will be. And if I don't, then those toons can't jump into new TFs and other goodies the devs are planning.

Eh, anyhow, just starting to look more chore like to me. The journey to 50 is what the game is about, but with hints of End Game coming, the journey doesn't look as fun any more.

Enough of me rambling. Got to get happy!

Ugh, don't want to even think about this. I will have a couple of days next week (some holiday thing) that I will have off and some free time.

I guess my 1st 50 (scrapper) then likely my widow. After that...well, probably be bogged down in respecs. Add in that the incarnate stuff will have some effects by ED, this will make it a bit challenging to figure out what to slot with.

All in all pretty sad that I will probably miss a lot of the TFs to get shards and stuff to slot with due to schedule. KHAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!

Well Voo, if you want to just run a plain BSF some night soon, I would be up to test out the TP strategy. Find 5 more since I am sure SHamster will be up for it, hehe.

Sorta tried that before. We o ported out, then re-entered. Mobs were on us right the door and was a disaster. We could barely zone in the door without dying. A better place is that hallway. That was perfect for coverage and fighting.

Thanks Voo. Good run. Now how to get that MLRSF badge again...

For the Love of .... Just busy under a ton of stuff.

I will be there tonight.

As I recall, it wasn't impossible. But rather a whole lot of work to make feasible. The devs surprise us and actually tried to make this. I should see if I can find the post. I am just in a camp that prefer they never do (and accept I may be the only one in that camp).

FYI, here is one thread that was emotional on the topic.

Happily (for me at least) the devs tried to make and failed. There was a post somewhere by Castle I believe. Anyhow, lots of threads on this and always two camps emerge that are very emotional on the subject.

IMO, this would lead to more chaos in the game with players bickering over KB.

Thanks all that showed up. So close. I couldn't believe someone fell, I was hitting every heal I had and couldn't stop it.

Any debuffers interested?

Still some room for those that want to join!

Sorry, but Saturdays are usually our night out since that is only time for our sitter for the kids. Only thing with Hamster is that I want to use the O portal method and I know he doesn't.
