Soul Storm

Email sent, name changed.

Good work!

Well my BS/Regen scrapper has gone through many iterations in the last few years but I think now is the time to settle on a IO build that will last a while.

I think of this character as my 'carnage' toon. If there's a time I just want to operate on the 6 second rule for a bit this is the toon I will be on.

The following build is designed to maximise survivability, damage, accuracy and healing/regen. I am looking to max this character out (so purples wouldn't be a no) and any influence I could save up ... so go wild if it will benefit the toon.

Please, can you guys help me on this one?

Now we are merged I'm interested to see what you yanks etc think of the suggestion?

Well this news definitely shocked me when I heard it a few weeks ago and now you've announced it, there's no change there.

Still at least it's not a permanent leaving and you'll be back hopefully sooner than later.

*salutes* See you soon, mate!

My new sig... comic book style feel with links to more info about my 2 arcs

Edit: I made them in photoshop

Alright folks I'm back with a passion!

I've been away for 3 weeks from the game what with life being way too hectic to be able to commit to play, so I stopped my sub for a while. Before that I pmed and emailed in-game Beyond Reach, but he didn't reply so I'll just skip over his request for now.

I'm gonna keep taking arc requests, people, just bear in mind it's not a weekly service, it's a leisure thing that I will try to do as quickly as I can but if you wan't an arc poster from me, I'll put time and effort into trying to get it to be the best I can and that will take more than an hour or two, so please bear that in mind if you request a poster from me.

Onto the next one, hopefully it'll be in this thread sooner than you think!

Yeah it was great fun! I did a Hollows event a few weeks ago and it's all about the old skool attitude that seems lost amongst the farmers today. I think that a good old fashioned team is a lot more interesting than a farm because you're consistently placed into situations that require teamwork and co-operation as well as tactics and forward thinking. In my experience you don't get that much of that stuff in farms, and the playerbase that can farm to 50 in a matter of hours is suffering because of it.

I'll be on when I can, trying to level up my new WS (got to lvl 12!) and running regular teams. The amount of time we spent saying "gratz" in team tonight so often I'm surprised people think they need the MA farms!

I was wondering where this thread had gotten to... *shameless bump*

Anymore ideas/support along these lines?

From the same patch. So you get a chance to drop one, once every 5 mins in a zone (i presume that in arena you only count a kill as unique once and even then probably only if the match is rated??) and once per arena session...

Right?

New Patch note US:

Fixed PvP rewards to function once again. Now, influence, inspirations, and other normal rewards occur on every PvP kill, while PvP IO recipes can only be rewarded on rep-valid kills.

So, as far as I can tell that means you get a chance to drop one, once every 5 mins in a zone or once per arena session?

Is that right?

Edited original post to say, but I'm on Union although anyone can do it anywhere.

When I logged in the game briefly this morning I had a horrible shock that I do not want to repeat, though I fear I might. I decided I'd go to The Hollows to try to help any low level players that might need it. To my horror I found the zone was utterly and completely abandoned...

I think a lot of us have fond memories of The Hollows. I know I do. It was the zone that struck me the most and is one of my favourites. I remember once I hovered straight from one end to the other ... took me half an hour but I enjoyed doing it, such was the newness and excitement of the game. The way it was always filled with people of all skill levels; some trying to level and some trying to help but it was always filled with people that had a love and an excitement for the game. Even if it was your first night in the game you would be joined with people that were experiencing their concept and character for the first time; there was an air of excitement!

So, to go in and find that this zone that hosts all these memories and the connotations that go along with that deserted, really disheartened me about the state of the game as it is today.

The way the farmers crowd and almost oppress the once-social atmosphere of Atlas Park with cries of "LFF 2 spaces" or something like that just saddens me.

So, I propose that you meet me in The Hollows tonight and throughout this week, and just team up no matter what your level is... if you're higher, exemplar down, if you're too low, sk up etc. Whether you like The Hollows or not, or would just prefer to carry on inf farming just take a break for a single night and let's all rejoin together to make the game buzz with the excitement of the characters and the people around us, like it used to!

Take the opportunity to start new characters or old ones you had forgotten. Get out there and team like we all used to, and rekindle your love for the game and the community that brings the game alive.

Edit: I play on Union so I will be doing this there, but anyone can do this on any server!

Suggestion: Implement a set of time spent on Character Badges. e.g. 100 hours, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000 and above badges. This would encourage longevity on a character and be something to achieve.

yay or nay?

Gm_Darren needs a promotion! We were doing the new SF the other day and he helpfully and politely helped us through the buggy final mission!

Top Bloke!

What you do is you buy everything that's at a certain price (presumably quite low) so that you take away the supply. Then you re-list that item 1 at a time and slowly drive the price up to incredible levels so that you make a lot of money

e.g. buy all supplies of something for 1 million, re list it and bump the price up to 20 mil...if you have 20 of those supplies then get a profit of 19 million on each one, you're rich very quick.

Back on topic, I really hope the pvp io's and other drops get sorted soon!

I am aware a lot of people like to do Westin Phipps Arc's... as such I am interested in doing an Arc told by him as the contact in the MA - could you provide any information about what stories the Dev's would have like to have him tell (or innocent people he could victimise) that you guys haven't ever had chance to write about?

I like all my character's names, it's something I have to have just right before I start my career on any character. Personally I love Soul Storm. (had it I4/5 and it's since been copied to take the name of GW's signature attack )

Nerfs are not "Doom" they are merely a nuisance (upgrading to "bloody nuisance" if deemed gamebreaking).
