Quote:I do have one quibble about this post, that I am surprised someone else hasn't noted.Originally Posted by Desitre
The tanker can't do everything man lol I honestly dont have space for a mastery pool let alone a leadership pool. Anyways think of it this way, most leaders in war don't charge in, they lead the team and give them orders, mm is a great leader class, and they can't run in at all lol.
An MM can and does "run in." I solo almost exclusively on one of my MMs, and I ran on Unyielding before, and now I run on +1/x3 (give or take) and do just fine. I have also "tanked" for the team with that character, granted that if the team takes too long in getting in there, I will have issues. If I took the time to IO him out (which I won't do), I am sure I could make him a pretty awesome force. -

I can't believe I actually read all of that.
Basically? Wall of Text = Bad. Try to use line breaks, also, there is a key (called [Shift]) that makes some letters capitalized. Generally, these are important words, and they also tend to begin sentences. Also, articles are your friends too, words like "a" and "the."

Perhaps you missed the part where I said that Tanking is a mindset not an AT... Anyone who distracts the mobs, debuffs them to death or controls them in order to make it safe for the team to handle without taking the Alpha is a Tank.
And if the Tank doesn't have the star? What is the leader going to say on every mob: "OK, Tank, go in we are ready"? ‘Tis slow and unnecessary. If the Tank sets the pace, you will quickly figure out how best to support him. I feel constantly pressured to press forward, even though there are straggler mobs. It seems to me that tanking is an art of pacing the team, monitoring agro and knowing when to advance to the next spawn (which is when the mob size and remaining danger is minimal).
Too slow = Boring
I feel if the Tank keeps a quick pace and mobs are dying quickly and the tank is pushing onward, toward the team-wipe-edge then the team will have a blast: the Defenders are doing their thing, the Scrappers/Blasters are killing like mad and the Trollers are doing double duty (controlling and buff/debuffing). I hate waiting for buffs before a mob rush. Just buff during combat as the team should be reasonably close (but not too close to the Tank due to mobs’ AOEs) to the tank for all to get buffed. Buff on the way as I say.
I did a Posi TF in 2.5 hours on an 8 man team...that was a killer pace pre-i16! Everyone had fun... and I knew when to push the envelope. Sometimes it went poorly and 1-2 would die, but it was rare and the pace wasn’t "too safe" and therefore boring. -
I was definitely thinking about more RAM. How much more should I have?
Also, the only reason I don't have SP3 is that when it originally downloaded, it caused my system to continuously loop at startup.... and I had to revert back before I installed it. After which, I turned off the Auto-Update feature for Windows. -

Quote:Right, because Christmas is the ONLY holiday celebrated in December. I shall remember to remind the family celebrating Kwanza to wish each other a "Merry Christmas." That is such a load of bull it isn't even funny.Originally Posted by Robo_Knight
It's Merry Christmas, not, Happy Holidays.
Also, I was about to come to your aid in this discussion regarding the Malleus badge... but after a comment like that, I will abstain. Rather, I will just say that I can see GG's point, but I don't see how it could be offensive. It is nothing more than a badge name (and is likely referring to the in-game book with the same name). -
I've only had this issue since i16 launched. WW/BM has always taken a while for me to load (I chalked that up to me having an older set of hardware), but it almost NEVER caused a mapserve and caused me to jump to the log-in screen like it is now.
It is very annoying.

They should give the option for a broadsword or something to look like a knife, but i really dont see the need for an entire powerset. But, appearently my Dirty Fighting idea isn't very popular so what do i know?

There really is no need to bump something after 10 minutes.
If I had to take a guess, I would say that it is an issue with your video card. Either the drivers are messed up, or the card is simply not good enough. I experienced this problem when I first got a trial of the game, I ended up upgrading my card, and all was fine. -
It seems more often than not, now, I get mapserved whenever I click on WW/BM. The only time this does not occur is after a restart or if I am solo and have not done a heck of a lot in the game yet.
I am assuming that an upgrade to my memory/processor might be in order. Which one would be the most helpful to me? And if the problem is deeper than that, what can you suggest?

All of that, including raising the level cap and adding new top-tier powers to the primary and secondary powersets. I'm not expecting it, and it's not a make-or-break deal, but after years of rolling and leveling characters to 50 within the same old framework, the whole thing's getting a little old.

If there are some in-game goodies that come from preordering like there were for CoV, I'll preorder. If it just gives you a chance to get into Beta testing or allows you to access the content a little sooner, I may just wait until it releases.
Especially since I will be in the Beta due to the Loyalty program anyway. -
Quote:Ditto. And I almost actually wrote it that way. 3a and 3bOriginally Posted by Ironblade
I play on Infinity so I pay close attention to its ranking. Infinity and Justice switch places a lot. I'd say they are currently tied for 3rd.
Agreed, but it is interesting to think about. I don't actually care what the results end up being, but I am interested nonetheless.Quote:Originally Posted by Ad Astra
Pretty pointless thing to consider of any importance whatsoever IMHO. -
Since you mentioned both Controller and Ranged, I wonder if you have given any thought to playing a Dominator (I have a Mind/Fire that is quite fun)?
Of your options, I would recommend a Dark/SR Stalker as a good Soloing character. Farming, not so much.
I am sure you will get lots of other suggestions in this thread!
(Welcome to the game, hope you stay!) -
I think I am going to focus on getting a couple of characters I recenly re-rolled back up to where they were before I deleted them.
I would love to focus on Redside, as I have neglected my villains of late. Would love to hit 40+ on my Huntsman (currently about a 35). -
Ummmmmm...

If I had to guess:
1) Freedom
2) Virtue
3) Infinity
4) Justice
5+) Ummmm, some other servers. -

The one thing this game totally doesn't need that is common in most other MMORPGs are items ( i.e. rings, belts, necklaces, etc. ) We have the concept of an "enhancement." This is something that would inspire a new player to stick with the game due to them not having to spend all of their game time to get them. Lets face it, people don't like to hunt for "stuff," they like to have fun playing the game.

Quote:This, this a thousand times.Originally Posted by KingSnake
I'd have told you to play the one you have the most fun with.
This game isn't hard. Having fun is the key.
I cringe whenever i'm in a pug that starts requesting spesific powers.
We need a stone tank... when any tank or more buff/debuff will do.
We need a RAD. We need a KIN. We need a HEALER. No, you don't. You need PEOPLE. People who want to play and have fun. Thats all.
I have little tolarince for people trying to dictate how others play or what they should play. I always suggest to teamleaders, hey, that TA over there can debuff well enough, grab him, or, that fire tank is fine... ect. Most listen, some don't. *shrug* -

My "I don't believe" sees your "unequivocal" and raises it a "burden of proof is on you"
At any rate, I wasn't saying that it IS possible, just that I don't discount things in this game... as has been said, the players are pretty damn crafty, and there are a lot of them. -
Quote:...thinking that that was the entire point.Originally Posted by Suichiro
There's so many colors in this outfit that it's causing clashes and is kind of an eyesore. I would suggest trimming it down to 3 major colors and then use a potential 4th for a detail or two. Generally you have to get people to use more than two, but in this case, the sheer amount of them is making the outfit lose it's coherence.

Quote:Pretentious? Certainly.Originally Posted by HwaRang
Epic fail: Pretentious attempt to proof-read someone elses grammar and spelling mistakes. Yet, in your own attempt you failed to correct "...had hade..." (first line, second sentence of OP).
Moreover, your character names of "WYLDE-FIRE" and "...PUNKT" question your credibility as they have blatant grammar mistakes and spelling errors. Should we respond with "Zomg...Roxxors"?
Careful, calling the kettle black...
Did I demonize the OP for a single spelling mistake, or due to the flagarant lack of grammar/syntax/spelling throughout his/her entire post?
Also, both of those spellings are quite intentional not due to what you think. "Scwarzpunkt" is a combination of two correctly spelled German words that roughly translates to "black point." Him being a Dark Melee Stalker, I think the origin becomes rather obvious. When it comes to Wylde? Wildfire was taken when I started the game, and I used a "ye olde" spelling. He was my first character. I am not sure how that makes me any less capable of spotting grammar/usage errors when I see them.
Also, keep in mind the lightening effect the Rikti-speak was intended to have. -
