    For recognizing him you are now one of Shay's Favorite People (tm). Your benefits card is in the mail along with your decoder ring and cheat sheet for the secret handshake!
    Woot!

    I learned more about politics from F&L on the Campaign Trail '72 than from a half dozen poli sci classes. Not only was he a pure gonzo tank (new set?), but a damn fine writer. He is missed, but probably had to die the way he did.

    Some of the gems in that pairing include Shield Charge, which is ridiculously good fun... the knockup (not a typo) in Jawbreaker makes you want to slot it purely for Accuracy and Knockback... and Crowd Control and Whirling Mace are just fun powers in the middle of a mob.

    Shay-

    I'm going to jump on the Shield/ mace bandwagon. My SD/Mace tank (Sakitumi) is now 49... and I'm reluctant to grab him that final DING just because I'm still having a blast with him. It has been a great set, both solo and in teams. Shield Charge into an 8-man spawn=heaven! And as Lacosta suggested, I actually DID slot jawbreaker with some knockback IO just for the fun of knocking the mobs silly high.

    I'm not a pvp'r, so can't speak to its functionality there, but I strongly endorse SD/Mace as good good fun.

    Also- just curious- is that Hunter in your Avatar?

    It was so clearly labeled- I don't know how I missed the tiny little white triangle!! Thanks for the info!
  4. The only thing I really don't like about the new forums is that it doesn't jump automatically to the last read post when I click on the threads. Is there a way to make it do that? I have been just clicking the last page in the threads and working backwards until I find something familiar. That's annoying.

    The new forums are working as intended.

    And for those crying to stop MA from functioning... Come on... get a life. This is tiresome. Move over. Play and stop trying to control the others. Run your own teams. There is no shortage of people to play with.
    That's actually part of the problem, at least on some of the lesser populated servers. Too many are obsessed with levelling as fast as they can in the Atlas AE building, and they never see the rest of the game or team outside of AE farms. AE has created 1) a hoarde of level 50 noobs who have no idea how to really play their characters or powers, and 2) an environment where it is often tough to find enough non-AE players to fill out a team. IMHO, AE was one of the worst additions the devs have ever added to the game.

    WRT to 2x XP, would have been nice if I could have played for more than 5 minutes in a stretch without a "lost connection." Finally gave up- the double XP wasn't worth the frustration of getting mapservered in the middle of combat and dying... repeatedly.

    FWIW, I would be wary of buying any computers through e-bay... you never know what you're going to get. Might be good, but might be someone's broken craptastic paperweight.
  15. I'd drop you an invite to join my almost completely inactive group, but it would disturb the silence and solitude of our gigantic deserted base. Good luck though!

    I know; it was a little joke. : )



    (Next time work on it being "funny", Star.)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You have to flag your posts with the "funny" flag so we all know when to laugh, just like Elf.

    Oh, wait, Elf always has that flag up.

    Well, anyway, you know the internet and "tone of voice" stuff.

    And yea, StarChiId, you really need to answer each post individually. Remember, no one will take you serious if you only have a post count in triple figures.

    POSTING IN ALL CAPS WILL HELP TOO! DON'T BE AFRAID TO SHOUT- NO MATTER HOW BORING THE POST, SHOUTING MAKES IT BETTER! OH YEAH 4LIFE!

    I have never really done the flashback stuff too much. I assume by your post that infernal doesn't come first when you utilize Oroboros?

    I misunderstood your rules- thought you were going to run through her arc with different teams fighting each AV that comes up.

    Chimera it is. Carry on... nothing to see here.

    *Walks away whistling innocently*
  19. There's going to be some major luck of the draw WRT which AVs you get- some being much easier or taking longer to defeat than others. I pity the team that has to chase Diabolique all over the graveyard. (Or is that Dominatrix? the one that runs all over the map...)

    On the other hand, Neuron's team is probably going to win.

    Good luck all!

    Hi all just wanted to say I started playing on Champions a few days ago and am having a blast.

    Much nicer people to it seems.


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Someone was nice to you on Champion? C'mon people- get with the program. If we continue to be nice to new people we may start to attract more and before you know it we'll be tripping over all the noobs in Atlas!

    (j/k- everyone knows that the noobs in Atlas never leave the AE building. )

    Welcome to Champion, you [censored] [censored], [censored]!

    Might need to change one thing. Number of team probably has to be 4+ to spawn an AV, so will have a filler on team as well.

    Or just bump up the difficulty level a couple notches...

    Here a nice laptop for $500.

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834146582

    It has the Intel 4500MHD Vid Card, but Lenovo's Component & Build Quality is better than Toshibas. So if you were considering the budget laptop instead of the one with the better video card, I'd recommend this one over the one I linked you previously. Plus it's a $100 cheaper than the Toshiba.
    Another plus, is it already has the Vista Business License with the Pre-Installed Windows XP, which I was going to recommend anyway.
