Quote:Wow... Judging by your vocabulary and the age at which I perceived you to be, you will do fine in college.(I'll respond to the rest of the thread tomorrow, but I got this particular snippet pointed out to me so I figured I'd answer before I went to bed)
I'm really that young. I'm eighteen.
The best advice I can give? Figure out how you learn the best and try your damnedest to tailor things to that style. For instance, I learn best via lecture and note-taking... so I tried to take professors who were good at lecture and were known for passing out topic outlines... it served me well. -
Quote:I don't slot until 12, and use all my TOs as Inf.If you're level 50 and only have 1 costume slot, you might be an AE baby.
If you're over level 10 and still have no enhancements slotted, you might be an AE baby.
Back on-topic:
...if you are surprised that there are enemy groups that have critters in them that look different from each other, you might be an AE baby. -

Thanks for the compliments folks!! I actually had to completely re-do it before I posted it, on account of me saving it flattened at the wrong time...

This only happens to be occasionally. Only if the announced issue contains lots of things that I think are excellent... like when the first round of Power Proliferation was announced. Now, with both i16 (full of awesome) and GR (probably full of even more awesome) I am beginning to lose interest in playing. I have focused on only one character instead of spreading around my play time to a lot more characters.
I am actively awaiting making a Spines/Elec Scrapper to replace my languishing Spines/Fire Scrapper. I also have shalved a few characters so they can "Go Rogue" in GR (not to mention my planned Dual Pistol character). All in all, I am too stoked about up and coming things to focus on the here and now things.
(Not to mention I have been a lot busier of late than usual...) -

Quote:To be fair, I am very touchy whenever someone maligns homosexuality (or other non-hetero orientations). I know this, but I am still compelled to comment on occasion.You seem to be a little overly sensitive and just a tinge self-righteous.
I guess my friends just have a better sense of humor on the subject.
And, yes, you only have my word for it, but having been in the theatrical arena for 25+ years, my friends run across several social lines.
Also, I am not a guy. Interesting assumption, there.
I thought the particular comment that this little "scuffle" originated over was funny in the context in which it was presented, and would surely get a creepy dork the hell away from you. However, if something similar were offered up out of this context and in a more serious tone, I would be offended on behalf of the transgendered folks and say something. There is a fine line between offensive commentary and humor.
Also, don't you know that there are no girls on the internet? -
Quote:Quite right, old chap, quite right.While personally the opinion of the assignment destination map known as a cave is agreeable wholeheartedly, the entity commonly and personally referenced to as myself feels that an thorough elaboration is in order when the subject at hand reaches such literal, albeit enclosed heights known as oranbega, often going by the alternate designation "the map damned by every individual deity both worshipped in modern society and those forgotten by the revolutions of the earth and by the rotation of the hands of a clock" the self declares this nonsensical, infuriating amalgamation of endless tunnels and chambres that rival the grandest tectonic formations in size to be infinately unsettling, detestable, and uncomparably unenjoyable to waltz through whilst making use of greatly accelerated speed and highly enhanced vertical velocity. the subject within currency is exaserbated by the undeniable truth that a hated organization of paranormal manipulating malefactors insist upon residing in these abominations of a tasksetting
Also, let it be known that any implication I have made to your gender is indeed little more than a guesstimation, if it be determined that I have guessed said gender in error, let it be further known that I am quite sorry and despise the regrettable place in which I would find myself after such an egregious and inpolitic error. What I meant to say is, that if you are not in fact a "chap" and indeed are a refined lady, that I, being in fact a chap, apologize. -
Other than that option, I think the best alternative would be the map on which you fight Black Swan (though it is more of a cemetary) or if there is an instanced portion of DA (not sure one exists that has a tomb atmosphere).

I tottally agree with you Draggynn. I try to do the same. I think it is demeaning to continue to use the word in that way.
Similar to your example is the fact that some people who are offended by that usage are afraid to speak up about it because they will automatically be labeled as gay themselves (whether they are or not, whether they are ready to come out or not). I had this issue at work. I work in a residential treatment center for adolescents, and would treat that usage about the same as if they swore in front of me. One boy looked at me and said, "Why? Are you gay or something?" And I had difficulty coming up with a proper answer since I didn't feel that any of the residents need to know my orientation. -

Keep in mind that I don't exactly like that idea much either. It was nice when McDonald's toys were McDonald's Characters and not just pandering to the money making of Disney and other child-targeted products.

I just cranked out an updated avatar and the sig you see below. Whatcha think?

Quote:(Fixed)I just wish we had enough slots to 6-slot our last power if we so desired. Since the reward for getting to level 50 is unimpressive right now (three more slots, the same as level 48), I wouldn't mind seeing something a little more. Say, five slots for reaching level 50 would be fine. That's only two extra, so it shouldn't throw things TOO far out of scale, and it would be a nice little benefit, as well as a chance to 6-slot your final power.
And I agree completely. It would be nice to get a bit of a bonus upon hitting 50. I am always a bit dissapointed by what is the last time that character ever needs to train (unless you dual-build). -
I play on three different servers:
Infinity 75%
Guardian 20%
Triumph 5%
It used to be that I would play on ONLY Infinity, and then it eventually became about 50/50 with Infinity and Guardian... now, with a somewhat infrequently Static Team on Triumph, it stands at the above. -
I didn't play much at all during it... and when I finally had the time to do so, was totally disheartened that (almost literally) the only zone with people in it was Atlas. I turned off after half a run on a boring AE Farm... and did RL stuff. Maybe next time it will be more rewarding for me.

I kinda assumed as much... the funny thing is that I had never noticed this particular anommaly before (prolly because I recently moved). *Shrug* Wonder if there is a way to "fix" it?
-
Your best bet, IMO, would be to pick a group that spawns "normally" and test on Heroic. Test from solo to 8-man teams... maybe do it villainside on a Stalker so that you can stealth a mission and quickly get data?
I know that Council spawns with extra Minions, and Arachnos has extra bosses, you already noted an abnormality with DE... perhaps you could use Freakshow as your basis... I don't know of anything odd with them, or Warriors... they are very vanilla.
From there, it would be pretty easy (I would think) to adjust for difficulty. It impacts lvl and spawn size predictably.
Also, there is some useful data here. -
When someone actually teleports your lvl 2 to the Icon in Steel Canyon (before there was a tailor in Pocket D).

...my netgraph would differ markedly between different servers?
When I toggle on my netgraph on East Coast Servers (namely Infinity and Triumph) I get a lot of red spikes and large red bars when I zone. However, on the same computer (same everything else too), I get NO red spikes/bars at all when I log in to West Coast Servers (specifically Guardian). I have asked others on Infinity if they are seeing similar, and they usually are not, the other computer with whom I share the connection (via a router) has the same issues. This occurs regardless of if the other computer is on or not, whether it is logged in to CoH or not. -
Quote:I would buy at least 3 of those!!I still wish they'd do the oft requested Rikti monkey plushie.
And that would rock too, just becaus of how odd it would be to have a cuddly demon. -
During one day at the height of summer, six glittering starships appeared out of nowhere. Suddenly everything went dark. It was the curse of the evil monkey that eats cottoncandy!
The people all fled in terror at the sight of the sticky-fingered monkey. It hurled large chunks of cotton candy at the innocent Omegatron Zeta Warbot, "Koo Koo Katchoo", who, caught unprepared, pulled up his iron underpants, and ran screaming into a brick wall.
Then the monkey laughed and said, "where's my punchline?" A man named Alfredo von Wigglestein -

Quote:That right there is half the issue, AFA I'm concerned. It is the people that are either too dumb to realize you can't farm 52s at 17 or are too new to actually know that there is anything else in the game worth doing. Both are problematic.Just joined another attempted farming team. Thing is, you can't really farm with 3 people, two of which are 17 and another one that's 3.
I think I'm honestly doing these people a favor, most would-be farmers seem to have no idea what they're doing. I think you need to master regular gameplay before you even try to farm.
Keep doing what you do, Prof. Me? I will continue to run contact missions with anyone I can find willing to do likewise (and they do exist, contrary to popular hyperbole).
