  1. I like Repair OK. I wouldn't mind a faster animation time, but I have both Repair and Aid Other, and use them both quite a bit.

    Repair is also nice in that you can use it while you are on fire.

    It's probably cliche, but Radio is always Robin Williams for me.
  3. Good luck in your next endevour, Niv. And thanks for all you've done for the community here.

    Taunt. Why not?

    I'm currently leveling up an Ice/SS tank, and when I started I thought I'd try it without Taunt.

    Finally ended up taking it at 32. I don't think I "need" it, but there were plenty of times that I "wanted" it.

    RSF Runs

    I don't think I could do a regular committment, but I'd certainly be interested in running it when I can.

    The only villain I have in range on Guardian is Molm Reindar, Claws/WP stalker.
  6. Pandemic, A Game of Thrones, Battlestar Galactica, Dominion, Agricola, Acquire, Ticket To Ride, Conflict of Heroes, Dungeons & Dragons, 1960: The Making of a President, Ingenious, Hive, Blokus, Kingsburg, For Sale, Power Grid, WarMachine, Illuminati, Formula De, War of the Ring, and a bunch of other tabletop games.

    Haven't played a computer game other than CoH since Civ IV came out, and I don't own a gaming console.
  7. My thoughts:

    DARK BLAST (Blaster Primary):
    1. Dark Blast, Rng Mod Neg Dam, -Acc
    1. Gloom, Rng High Neg DoT, -Acc
    2. Dark Obliteration, Rng Targeted AoE Mod Neg Dam, -Acc
    6. Moonbeam, Snipe Extreme Neg, -Acc
    8. Night Fall, Rng (Cone) Mod Neg DoT, Foe -Acc
    12. Aim
    18. Torrent, Rng (Cone) Minor Neg, Foe -Acc, KB
    26. (new power), Short Rng High Neg, Foe -Acc
    32. Blackstar, PBAoE Extreme Neg, Foe -Acc, Self -Recovery

    The secondary -Acc makes the blasts in this set a little bit weaker than the Defender/Corrupter versions which are -To Hit.

    DARK MANIPULATION (Blaster Secondary):
    1. (new power) Tenebrous Grasp, Rng Minor Neg DoT, Foe Immobilize, -Acc
    2. Touch of Fear, Melee Foe Fear, -Acc
    4. Smite, Melee Mod Neg, Foe -Acc
    10. Petrifying Gaze, Rng Foe Hold
    16. Build-Up
    20. Cloak of Darkness, Toggle: Self Stealth, +Def (All)
    28. Dark Consumption, PBAoE Mod Neg, Self +End
    35. Oppressive Gloom, Toggle: PBAoE, Foe Disorient, Self -Hit Points
    38. Soul Transfer, Self Rez PBAoE Stun
  8. Throw Barrage in there with Jab and Barb Strike.
  9. On Guardian:

    Auto-Madien (Inv/DB Tank) 18 --> 25
    Sultry Sara (Rad/Elec Def) 22 --> 28
    Physical Graffitti (Warshade) 17 --> 24
    Veranna (MA/Will Scrapper) 35 --> 36
    Cyclopatra (Nrg/Dev Blaster) 47 --> 48

    And just moved to Guardian from Triumph:

    Axe Jeeves (Axe/Nrg Brute) 12 --> 18


    And over on Triumph:

    Ro-Bust (Mind/Elec Dom) 21 --> 28
    December Man (Ice/Kin Corr) 40 --> 41


    Mostly missions, ran a Sister Psyche with Sara, a Synapse with Graffitti, and a Cap SF with Ro-Bust.
  10. In the introduction to Grandville, references are made to Elisa Silk and Marshall Mayhem. I don't believe they are referenced in-game. Who are they, and are they still around?
  11. There's nothing wrong with Aquaman, Black Knight, Iron Fist, or Nova. If that's the best they could come up with, they didn't try very hard.

    Generic Rant

    Seemingly random post about a completely different topic, because poster thought she was in a completely different thread but mistakenly pressed the "Back" button one too many times.
  13. For some reason, I always hear City Slickers-era Billy Crystal when I read Synapse.

    Also:

    Cate Blanchette as Ghost Widow
    Owen Wilson as Manticore
    Carrie Fisher as War Witch
    John Glover as Dr. Aeon
    Bruce Campbell as Vernon Von Grun

  14. Let's see... Council files on Paragon City politicians... Revenant Hero Project... Rikti portal schematics... Ah! Here it is, DJ Zero's iTunes playlist. Strange, it's just the same song played over and over again in a loop."

    If I am a winner, I permit NC Interactive, Inc. and NCsoft Europe Limited to use my name, likeness, photograph, hometown, and any comments that I may make about myself or this contest that I provide for advertising and promotional activities. I also certify that I am at least 13 years of age and am eligible to participate in this contest.
  15. I've been all of the above at different points.
  16. I've gotten PvP IO recipe drops in Warburg against toons natural level +5 higher and -5 lower than my own.

    That's not a problem, that's a feature.


  18. Well. I hope you're satisfied mister! Just look at this mess!

  19. I'm pretty proud of my villain Molm Reindar, who started out as a joke and kind of turned into a very serious character.

    One of these days I'll get around to actually putting in the story arc that I scripted about him.

It takes time, sure, but it's not exactly hard work. If reaching level 50 in this MMO is the hardest thing you ever do, consider yourself blessed.
    I love the idea of having to read 50 books of increasing difficulty before you can "unlock" Beowulf.

    Doesn't this happen now?

    Since having a Level 50 is no longer a sign of a veteran player, I don't see this as a real reason to gate off the Kheldians in that way.

    It also makes me think they have another award that they want to institute for getting that first Level 50.

    I keep thinking there some gated Goldbricker content somewhere that I'm just missing. There's not, but i can't help but think there's some reason for them to exist.

    Server Jumping

    My first SG is on Pinnacle, and I stil play there occassionally. It's also nice that thanks to free server xfers, when I see something like "Synapse TF looking for people" on Guardian, I can get one of my Pinnacle toons to run it, then pop it back to Pinnacle when I'm done. And vice versa.
