So last night I made up a new character, an Elec/Dual Blades Tanker, and made her have the costume of a bee. Now, wanting to stay on the bee theme, I had trouble coming up with an appropriate name. I liked the name Yellowjacket, but it was taken. After several other tries to get a name that I thought fit, I did something horrible: I named her YeIIowjacket (with two capitol i's instead of l's), since in game, it looks the same as Yellowjacket. This was a placeholder, and I fully expect to change the name as soon as I come up with a good one, especially since I just googled it, and it's on of Henry Pym's names (is there a persona that guy DIDN'T take on?).

So, having though for most of the morning, I'm still having trouble coming up with a name. So I'm asking for a bit of help here, to see if any of you creative types can help me out and come up with a good name for her.

Thanks!

Every issue it's the same, X feature ruined my life, massive amounts of players quit (I have no proof, but I KNOW these things), I'm quitting yadda yadda yadda.

I'll never quite understand the compulsion to not only quit a game but pretend that loads of other people are also quitting with you. It's kind of sad really.
Maybe it's to actually make us give a damn.

I have to reiterate: My drops have sucked since I-16 hit beta with my level 50 scrapper running scanner missions in PI. How many weeks have passed in that period?

The odds of me maintaining such low drops rates purely due to some statistical aberration in the random number generator over this much time approaches nil.

I'm very impatient and I always end up paying high prices for things I want "NAO!" and selling cheap to get the sale "NAO!"

How can I work the market better...

Please note that my impatience is a very difficult variable to change.

:P

They may not be out of reach to people who farm for purple drops, random rolls to sell, or the meta-game of manipulating the market. They are out of reach for players who play as intended.

Why would someone play a character that sucks at low levels? Is its high-level play seriously THAT MUCH more fun than a character isn't a painful exercise in self-hatred to get up there? Why would anyone want to subject themselves to a build that you hate for half the time that you play it?

The Vault is still in progress SwellGuy, it's just been hindered by the third party they hired to do something with it. once that's all out of the way I think they'll probably have it up. Don't know when, lol. It's backburnered, but it's still on their radar.

Now that I've played it for a bit... I have to change that opinion.

The best part of I16 for me is unequivocably the new Difficulty Settings. The ability to customize mission difficulty for each character has revitalized the game play for me. I don't care so much about the loot as I do the challenge factor.

Definitely 10 out of 10 stars.

yeah, some people get neg feedback for actually being stupid buttmonkeys, and other times people will get neg feedback just because they annoyed someone.. neither of these are the points which get you a lot of negative feedback. (Unless the person persisits in being a stupid buttmonkey >.>)

I'm going to try a slight variation, using the same character running the same missions over and over, but doing this on different computers running different OSes, even. Unfortunately, I won't be able to properly test any potential IP related issues, but if there's something about the HW/OS causing it, maybe that can help track it down.
