    The Pride

    This SG + Trenchcoat Costume Option + Tall Buildings + "Hands on Hip" stance --> Captain Jack Harkness (MA/Regen scrapper)

    Surely?

    Issue 9

    Very - I kept having going back and un-correct myself.

    I'm confused, I thought this was 38+ to do it?

    If so, I need to lvl a bit cos I'm 37.5 atm

    If not, i'm definitely up for it

    IIRC anyone 36 or higher can join the trial team and take part in the initial Abandoned Sewers Massacre (36 is the entry level for that zone), but you need to be 38+ to actually do the final Hydra fight bit.

    SoS is 37.9, so should be ready by the weekend.

    Issue 9

    I'd just like to say, while I think the things added in issue 9 are pretty sweet, I'm an experienced player, I pity the newbs who have to learn all this new stuff AND the other stuff. I mean we all think things are easy, because they are after you've done them like a thousand times but imagine you'd never played this game before, now imagine you had to learn about enhancements, Training, DO and SO, then SKing and exemplaring, then task forces, respecs, giant monsters, reputation settings, SG's, bases, salvage, and now they've got to learn about inventions, recipes, universities and bloody auction houses, I mean come on it's enough to scare a newb out of playing the game, I'm sure looking at this you're thinking, what a retard it's hardly rocket science! But think about having to learn it ALL from scratch, it's a lot to take in, they may be tempted to go back to playing Rayman on their Playstation lol!!!

    but its knot something u have to lern all at wunce - u cn ignor DOs n SOs til ur up 2 lvl 15 or so, invents til 10 at leest, respecs til 25, SK and exemp jst happns nd bases r som1 elses problm!

    One of the nice things about CoH is that it leads you in gradually, even if you're starting from fresh, and most bits of it can be ignored if they don't interest you.

    Oh noes!

    Take care Jum, and hopefully see you back in unreality sooner or later!

    Standoff - En/En/Elec Blaster
    Grafite - Fire/Rad/Fire Controller

    None of this Vengeance malarky.

    (But the blaster's always up to play the Vengeance "anchor", of course...)

    Edit: Fixed typo

    Phil breaks 400

    Nice one Phil - gratz!

    (Thought you might have meant 400 level 50 toons when I first saw the thread... )
  9. All the best Ducky - hope to see you back here one day/month/year, but in the meantime take care and have fun!

    My PB is called Ipalnemohuani,

    Hehe - that must be a good one when another SG member's trying to tell the team lead who to type the invite for.

    (Especially with an "I" and an "l" in there...)

    My question to you all is mentioned in the title of this post: is a Tanker a Tanker if he/she doesn’t take Taunt?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    To summarise:

    A lot of people will say yes.

    A lot of people will say no.

    Both sets of people will retread the arguments that have been made many times before. These may get heated and eventually lead to intervention and/or lockage by Bridger.

    I'd suggest skimming the arguments in case something's raised that sheds new light on things for you, and in the meantime play your tank in a way that works for you.
  12. Gratz Phil - only one away from entire server's worth of 50s!
  13. Pffft, like my help would be needed for that to happen!

    V good evening, with much mayhem, AVing, semicoordinated tanking, novaing and charging around like over-caffinated mad'uns!

    Thanks for the team, and see you all around!

    Play whatever you want to play - it's all for fun after all.

    Great - probably my main then, as he's my main badger toon.

    Happy to switch to Graf if it turns out she'd work better on the day, mind (if nothing else she has taxi capabilities, which may be needed in the Shards...).
  15. I have a couple of toons that could do with this - if there's still a slot going would you prefer an En/En blaster or Fire/Rad controller? (Both 50)
  16. Gratz Carni!

    Next 50 in early 2009?

    ...so I'm easy enough

    [/ QUOTE ]
    So, the rumours are true...

    Phew - good and bad news for me; I'll be away this weekend, so can't make any Saturday night event...but am relieved I'll probably be missing a mission session rather than Numina itself!

    At some point I'll get SoS levelled up to at least 35 (IIRC he's 33 at the moment) so he's ready whenever Numina does go down - have fun yourselves in the meantime, and see you soon!
  18. Sorry about that guys, but we did have the usual great time!

    I heroically led the way on getting the most faceplants, dashing off in odd directions and outwitting the defenders whenever I got chance, but even so we stayed largely vertical.

    And after the Croatoa starter it was very nice to be able to land solid punches when you dived in!

    Thanks to the organisers and rest of the team!
  19. As I've never been a soccerball fan I'll be there for the TF - look forward to joining everyone against massed groups we can actually land a hit on!

    Edit: Fixed typo
  20. And thanks back for sorting it all out in the first place.

    And...curse those witches and their damn acc debuffs - we could have finished in 1/4 the time (and 1/10 the faceplants) if we'd actually been able to hit them more of the time!

    Level range is 30-35

    [/ QUOTE ]
    A comment from a guy who has Captain Pedant as an alt on Union...

    The level range on this one's actually 30-34, verified the other month (because I took the 34 for a typo myself) when I saw 35s being autoexemped down.

    BTW SoS is now 31 (busy weekend ), so well and truly qualified for the TF - let me know if I'm on and you want a bit of extra damage-dealing to help get other people into range.
  22. The day after the TF before - another successful and fun Queen/Beast outing.

    Thanks to all, and especially Killer Queen for organising it and managing to keep us all healed despite being out of sorts herself last night (IIRC she said something about "not having had any for 4 days now" - understandably not at her best then! ).

    The game he was playing was Shadowrun, it's a game with elves and dwarves and trolls in a futuristic cyberpunk setting.

    They probably have lingerie in the future too.

    But not tops with low necklines. That'll never happen.
