Some people like to pick at a scab until the wound bleeds again. I don't ask why someone would do that but collectively done it could be a social experiment as well.

Hi and welcome to Justice!

Hi and welcome back.

<------

Not gonna last but time to partay.

Edit: Mac's post confirms my suspicions about him.

Banning the nukes is bad juju since people are expecting a single and consistent set of game rules (one of the reasons why pvp is doa).

The AV could be made more resistant to nukes (either stacking doesn't work on him or he is specifically more resistant to the nuke debuff effects)

The larger issue is that teams that cannot drop him in the first two rounds have very little hope of finishing him at all. For a trial with an hour timer this means that the CoP timer may as well be on a twenty minute timer.

Consider lengthening the timer between reinforcement rularuu spawns each time they come. This would add breathing space for weaker teams and eventually lengthen the window that the AV could be vulnerable. Of course the effects of this specific change wouldn't be noticeable until 5+ rounds in, but it would give hope for teams fighting an epic battle that the AV would 'let up' a little. Without hope the teams will just give up since they know that their best shot was their only shot, and if they miss it it's game over.

Personally I believe this game is too easy but there has to be a balance and opportunity between the haves and have nots.

Heh you're averaging 1 post a year.

You should advert your MAs in this subforum as well.

Wow...there's a huge amount of stuff that's changed.

The biggest things I can think of are Enhancement Diversification (ED) and Invention Origin Enhancements (IO and their set bonuses), plus the in-game economy necessary to support the loot for IOs.

Also getting merits of various types is probably better than chasing any influence, once you get your seed capital going.

And welcome back.

Edit: Oh yeah...with the advent of global friends and channels most of the action isn't at the zone or SG/coalition level anymore. Global chat channels tend to be where everyone hangs out. JFA2010 and Justice United are the big'uns.

Welcome to Justice!

The whole silence thing on channel join is just to keep spammers out, send a tell to a mod in the channel and they will unsilence you.

As for the team vs. solo thing, by all means find a team! Although there are 'get off my lawn' type elements within the game (glares at someone who's name starts with a letter between P and R) most people on Justice are very friendly...sometimes too friendly (make sure you lock your doors at night).

The primary benefit to teaming is to make friends who will give you their stuff when they ragequit, although the secondary benefit, useless and prurient gossip, cannot be ignored. If you don't like either of those things, then soloing might be best for you just for the challenge of trying to simultaneously click 2 items while alone.

And if you send a tell to enri, he will make you sign and fax over some weird 8 page nondisclosure or something before you can team with him, although I just sent him a picture of a 7 legged spider and he was OK with that.

Best way to find teams are through channels nowadays, although you can hang out in AP or other congregation zones to find other lost souls.

If you want to do this, I'll put up some prizes for the people who attend the raid.

I'm thinking that special prizes will go out to the person who lands the killing blow for:
A) Hami
B) U'Kon Gr'ai
C) Aspect of Rularuu round 1
D) Aspect of Rularuu round 2

Just need to pick a day and we can get Dan some badges, if not arms.

Sorry to hear that...things seem pretty tough everywhere. Hope to see you back once you get on your feet.
