    So my question is this.... Is it worthwhile to start playing a game where people have been playing for months or even years. In LOTRO when I started a new account, I realized that there were no players the newbie zones and that meant that there were no players to group with in instances.

    If I start playing this game am I going to be running solo until I get to a high level?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks
    Without reading the rest of the thread, let me ask you - have you looked into exemplaring/sidekicking?

    I only ask because the vets have.

    I mean if you're going to separate both sides wouldn't it be: Herogroup base vs Villaingroup base.

    Super fits both! Unless you are implying villains aren't super, in which case my Broote would like to have a few words...WITH YO FACE!


    But on subject, I have not base edited for a longlonglong time, literally years. So I wouldn't be much help. Sowwy!
    I can't dispute this.

    For me, if someone says "SG", I figure they mean either. If they say "VG", I figure they're only talking about vils.

    Because I hate heroes.

    Please, allow me to interject. While staying within the numerous rules of the boards, PvP is also "a game". Much like reputation.

    Are they so different?

    I leave it to you to draw you own conclusions.

    I'm saying this in public.

    Please have my love-child. I don't even need to be the daddy.
  7. I could be wrong, but I don't think there's any eoe farming tonight.
  8. Reminder, no EoE farming this Sunday, nor is there a Marklar on Tuesday due to Tanker Tuesday.

    Additionally, I'm taking the week off from running hamis.
  9. I'd really rather not have to spend 200milion on a set of Turtles.

    IO Question

    Agg's right, and addresses your question.

    I'd just like to clarify for anyone else stumbling on this thread - Aggelakis is refering to the Set IOs when they say "You can only use one of the same IO in any one power..."

    You can put more than one Generic IO in a power, with a Generic IO being what you would see in WW/BM under Crafted Enhancements > Other. Of course, you also need to be more aware of Enhancement Diversification than if you use the Set IOs.

    One thing that many new players coming from other games (Not CO, but a game like D&DO) often need to adjust to is the idea that in many cases, finding a solid team, getting help, finding news, comes from global channels, as opposed to SG/VGs (guilds).

    Join RF2009 and Freedom Elite for your Freedom needs (dunno the Virchoo equivelent) and you can use those to ask questions, find out server information, and so on.

    That said, active SGs can and still do provide valuable resources in game that can't be done by global channels (such as a more regular group of people to play your style of game, bases and base resources, and the like).

    Look me up in game - feel free to add me to your global friends list by typing /gfriend @enrious and I'll see what I can do to help you out.

    I think it was. I looked at the global.

    Same happened for me. I got way more done on my brute and was leeching blueside.

    I also felt no guilt.
  16. I like the initiative Leo. I think it's a great effort at teaching team leaders, although I greatly quibble at the timescale.

    Also, having people leading a raid way before they're ready is very likely seconds from disaster because as Philly says, there's a lot more to leading a raid than just hitting macros.

    I suppose it's human nature, but everyone wants to run before learning how to walk.

    Folks wanting to lead teams/raids should plan to put in the sincere time required to learn the raid, the raid strategies, etc., and have the experience on them to know what to do when the unexpected happens.

    If you take shortcuts, you're hurting yourself, but more importantly you're hurting the other 49 people at a raid though.
  17. Just a reminder that this seems like a fairly stable schedule.

    This was less annoying after someone pointed out it's basically the same behavior as dogs sniffing each other.

    Now I just laugh when I'm in WW/BM.
  19. What is 50 in Aussie years?

    Happy Birthday, mate!
  20. Reminder, Red Raid tomorrow at 9 eastern.

    Still sorta need hami aggro of some kind.

    Bah sore subject with me.
    This, this, and this. And hey, let's throw in a defeat all at the end.

    I'm not sure how you could even tell now though. I could see the comments before, but now I can't see any comments, positive or negative.
    Click on each post you've made, at the little scales things that would let you leave feedback for someone else's post.

    If it's your and you have no feedback, it'll simply tell you your rep score. If there's feedback left for that post, it'll show you what it is.

    I report said feedback to either Mod08 or Niviene, depending on sobriety. Failing sobriety, flip a coin.
