    Try not drinking it and then return to us with the results.

    Actually, that's 100 grams (4oz) of powdered caffeine with 1000 servings per container, not 100 pills.
  3. None of my characters have been on a 'Master of...' run. My Kin/ is an aggro-magnet and I'm usually shocked when she doesn't die. My Ill/Emp has better survivability. But any time I get on a TF with SG members or people I know, that I don't normally team with, and I know that they are TF machines, I ASK if it's a 'Mo...'.

    I'm pretty sure they'd mention it before hand, but that's not something I like to assume, as I definitely would want to be the cause of a failed 'Mo...'.

    In the future, when my top character's have better survivability, then I'd like to be in on some 'Masters of...' action, but not until they are ready.

    Kudos to the people that can do it without breaking a sweat, and to the folks that for them it truly is a trial yet they persevere and succeed.
  4. Happy Hatching Day, Bubbawheat!



  5. You're so awesome LJ.

    Gratz to Pious on the great art!

    I've heard/read the same thing.

    Granted this was for the last 2XP weekend...

    It would seem that "in good standing" refers to something more than just having an active account.

    sounds like the OP could access the mission however.
    We couldn't, the indicator was inside the AE building itself, clicking on a door didn't lead to the mission. (Although, I don't think any of us thought to click on the AE beam.)
  8. And yet, the folks on Protector still manage to pull off some crazy ### #### that makes the other servers pale in comparison.

  10. EU Support

    Click the "How do I contact Customer Support" question, or on the 'Ask a Question' tab above that.

    Also, the problem may be what codes you've already added to you account.

    Death Emotes.

    Now see, along the lines of the extended death throe scene I was thinking something more like this.
  12. Could we please get the Midnighter's 'Seated Drink Tea' emote?

    Also, can the women please get something other than the 'prim & proper' sit. While a couple of the 'ledge' or 'bench' sit emotes will do, some just don't work for certain characters.

    And along those lines, can the women also get the men's 'stool' sit. It's such a relaxed pose.

    Edit: Would it also be possible to add and animation selection to out MA Contacts? Them just standing there doesn't always cut it. I'd like to be able to have them cower, or maybe juggling, just... something. (Granted the fact that the MA Editor is bugged, and any time an animation is playing frame rates go through the roof makes this kinda moot.)
  13. The OP's recipe just needs this...



    Although, like Agge, caffeine has no effect on me when it comes to keeping me awake. Many women have a different issue when it comes to excessive caffeine consumption, and it's the primary reason why I don't drink a lot of caffeinated drinks.

    Oddly enough, I found a recipe of Caffeine Jello® Shots when I was looking for the above image above.

    Also remember that in order to be eligible for beta, your account has to be in good standing.

    I find it quite likely that Mod 8 stickied the thread solely because of his post.

    Added it to my sig anyway, just in case. Easy access.
    Only if it gets repeated ad-nauseam.

    Maybe they should require everyone to play a Kin until say... level 25. Perhaps then, they would have a better understand and appreciation for what Kins have to go through.

    Heck if they made the changes just to increase the duration maybe my blasters might get increase density (A much more important buff for them) occasionally.
    I'd rather that SB didn't get changed because of incompetent Kin's (I don't mean you, I'm referring to the randomly applied ID part of your post.) When I apply SB, ID comes in right behind it.
  17. I also recommend AdBlock Plus for Firefox.

    I actually like the forums the way they are, but Zombie Man has Zombie Skins.

    For in-game I would highly recommend that you also use the Major/Minor story-arc icon fix in his sig. It makes it incredibly easy to tell the difference between the two.
  18. Well, you have missed the insanity that occurs on Protector. Such as Team Debt Cap's Robot Rampage.
  19. I was looking at this the other night. It seems to me that the order may be:

    Your Base
    Last Coalie Base you entered (though it may very well be last base that was entered by one of their members.)
    Alphabetical order of the rest

    I'm at work at the moment, so I can't check but I do recall that there was a locked- out Coalie base in-between two of my activ Coalie bases which has me thinking that after your own base and Last entered Coalie that the rest of the list may be alphabetical.
  20. This is like LotR: The Two Towers. You get to the end of the movie and you're like "WTH!?! Where's the rest of my movie!!!11!!eleventy-eleven!!!11!!" Even after having just sat through 3 hours of the film.

    /unsigned

    Having SB as AoE would require that either the End cost go through the roof, or that the effectiveness of SB go down, or the Recharge be increased, or likely all of the above. Not to mention the people that do not/cannot handle SB, are they supposed to move out of range every time I pop off an SB?

    It is not required to maintain an SB on every single member of the team, every single minute, of every flippin' session. SB the plodders for travel to the mission, SB during fights (generally on Melee), and prior to fights (Ranged.) That way the Melees don't overshoot their targets, and the Ranged attackers can have a +Recov to start spamming their attack/buffs/debuffs.

    Four words is all it takes so solve most SB issues. "Who doesn't want SB?"

    As for me actually asking for an SB, the only time I have to do so is generally when my Kin/ is teamed with another Kin. Inevitably, my Kin/ will be the only one to not get SB'd. -.-
  22. I thought he was asking about the MM set...
  23. HP, you state that edited images will be disqualified, does that include removing player names from the chat window?

    I mean I'm sure he wouldn't care and I'll ask him regardless, but I was just wondering.
  24. Temp accounts can Team chat and Local chat.

    They should really put some sort of indicator on temp accounts so that the general player-base knows that they are temps at a glance, and can more easily render help.

You can see it in action if you drag one of the grates around in the editor. Is that similar to what you've seen?

    When my Base was passed to me by the then departing Leader, that was the first thing I deleted.
