Thank goodness for paranoia! While I have been using the e-mail system to temporarily "store" recipes, I was too worried about a glitch eating my e-mails to actually e-mail myself anything but common IO recipes and temp power recipes. I also did a bunch of crafting this weekend, so if I lost any e-mails it was 3 or 4 common IOs at most.
Still it would have been nice to know about this upfront. And to anyone saying the Devs never intended the e-mail system to be storage, I can't argue with that, but they had to know that's how players were going to use it. If they truely didn't then they are scarily out of touch with their customers. -
Gotta mow the lawn before patrolling the streets of Paragaon City tonight, so I might be a wee bit late.
Good news is, I'm leaving work right at 5 o'clock, and I have a small yard.
Potential bad news is, my old mower died when I accidentally ran over one of those steel water main caps last week, so this will be the first night with a brand new mower. Though I guess if the new mower doesn't work, I won't be late at all.
Anyway, I will be there tonight, so don't despair if you don't see Shannon's gorgeous mug right at 6:30 . -

If you are looking for another, I am interested.
I have a lvl 14 almost 15 Trap/DP Defender that could join you. Sorry, he's not a healer but he debuffs well.
I'm new to the server and a noob regarding Rp but would like to learn more.
The character's name is Gismo.
He is a mutant with the ability to create machinery and equipment to suit his needs. Sort of like the X-man Forge but he doesn't need tools...he just forms them with his mind.
My toon's name is Shenaniguns. -
No, not Mac! NoooOOOOOoooo!!!

If not, you can use the Combo Power and Control Unit, which is the starter item for new super-bases. The unit produces 125 Energy and 75 Control, which can power a few things.
The combo unit can only go into an Oversight Center.
Cost for both room and unit is 75000 Prestige total. -
Quote:Oh good. When you said he was from Miami, I thought he was going to be named Sonny Sprocket or Ricardo Tubba Bolts.Originally Posted by El Flamingo
...the character is Jim Gear.
I'll probably be on tonight sometime before 8:30, but I'm not sure if I have the ability to invite others to the SG. -
Scanning the newspaper for your latest job you notice something promising in the Classified section. The infamous mercenary known only as "The Waitress" is looking to hire a crew to help her knock over the Paragon City Bank and Trust branch in Founders Falls. In addition to a full cut of the loot, Waitress will put in a good word with her contacts for the villain who organizes the robbery* and spread the word about all the other members of the crew.** Also, everyone in the crew will get free hot wings for life at a certain sports bar in St. Martial.
Reply to Box 36-24-36 if interested.
* The mission holder will receive 5 million infamy after the mission, as long as I'm at least able to get the exploration badge, although I would like to do the side missions as well to earn credit towards those badges.
** Each member of the team other than the leader will get 2 Million infamy after completion of the mission.
((While this thread serves a specific purpose for me, I thought it could be an interesting RP way for Redside Virtuites who are looking for a VG, a team, a specific mission, a specific piece of loot, etc. to contact each other. Feel free to use it for such things if you want. I really am looking for the FF Mayhem mission though, and hollering in broadcast in Grandville over the weekend didn't do me any good, so I thought I'd try a different approach.)) -

Oh my. This would be awesome if my level 15 robot cop could join. He's a robot...and a cop...from Miami. He's pretty cool. Plus good god I need a rp sg.
Tuesdays from 6:30 to 8:30 PM Eastern Time is our regular meet-up. -
OK, thanks all.
I guess the next dumb question is, how do I increase the base's power? -
I've never messed with base building or design, but this morning I was doing a little work on one of the SG bases I've inherited, and I can't figure out why I cannot access the vault I added to the base.
As I understand it, base vaults connect to the other Vaults in PC, but for some reason I can't open the one in my base; I can't get the blue hand of access to appear. Is there something else I have to add to the base to allow access to the vault? -
If I was at home I could send you pics of some costumes I have saved, but they aren't on this computer.
I think the secret is to use either the baggy top or a jacket or vest - something that hides the muscular definition of the tights options. The smooth tights option isn't bad, but even that is more muscular than a normal 10 y.o. kid would be.
I have one costume saved at home called Sheriff Tommy that I was going to use for a dual pistols character. I think it captures the look of a kid dressed as a cowboy pretty well, but I never used it because I just couldn't see myself playing a 10 y.o. kid. A woman? Yes. A werewolf cop? Sure. An indestructible, demonically posessed robot? No problem. Just not a 10 y.o. kid. -
When I ran a Manticore TF last weekend, he kept sending us to Dark Astoria.

Keep your eyes on the SDCC Twitter account (@Comic_Con); I got a Sunday 1-day pass last year in June because they started putting up refunded/returned passes on eBay in batches. I believe last year was the first year they did that, and it worked really well!

Quote:It's just bad luck. Recently I was working on the PvP rep badges with a friend, taking turns killing each others' "fodder" toons to increase our rep to the fabled 400. Over the course of about 8-10 days of doing this, we each had approximately 416-420 PvP kills. In that time he got one PvP recipe drop; I got five.Originally Posted by zoltaire
I have looted 1 pvp recipie since they came out, and again, that was near the begining of when they were available.
was just wondering if it's just me? am i doing something wrong, or have i just fallen through the cracks?
What do ya'll think?
Thanks,

Quote:If you check e-Bay, people are selling 4-day passes to SDCC for anywhere from $300-$600 each. I'm not sure exactly how that works, since you can't get your actual badge until the Wednesday or Thursday of the convention, and you're supposed to show a photo ID that matches the name on the confirmation print out.Originally Posted by __Naq
I wonder how much ticket scalpers get at the front gate?
Rich
As much as I would love to be able to upgrade my measley Thursday & Sunday 1-Day passes to a full 4-Day pass, and as willing as I would be to pay hundreds of dollars to do so, it just seems waaaaay too risky to send a stranger on e-Bay that kind of money and trust them to show up, stand in line to get the badge, and then hand it over to you. -
Influence or Prestige?

Apparently the best use for them is for you to make as many random rolls as you can and then put everything on the market so that other players can get recipies easier and cheaper and aren't forced to grind Task Forces.
If you don't use all your merits regularly or you personally use any of the rewards you get you are ruining this game! -
Quote:So I get to choose how I play the game, but you and the bulk of the players in this game don't? I had no idea. That really sucks for you guys.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
what you personally chose to do doesn't affect the overriding imperative of efficient gameplay for the bulk of players in this game, i/e instead of running Quick Katies for rolls, grind ITFs for outsized piles of merits.
Obviously lots of players play the game lots off different ways, but the bulk of them are reward driven and will thus flow toward the path of least resistance. When the devs change the rules, they change those paths and the behavior of their reward seeking playerbase. -
Quote:Patently false. I didn't grind TF before merits existed and I don't grind them now. If I do a TF it's to level and/or get a badge. My main blue badge toon and only blue 50 has never repeated a TF as far as I can recall. She has over 1000 merits and has never spent a single one - that's how important it is to me to "grind for merits."Originally Posted by Nethergoat
Adding merits in the first place "told people how they should play the game", i/e relentlessly grind certain TFs that reward merits efficiently.
Regarding Milady's_Knight's assertion that people like me who don't cash in, or "hoard," their merits are depriving the people who use the market, of which I am one, of recipies and such and therefore the system should be changed to force them to cash in their merits, I say screw that! If that change ever occured, I would vendor all random recipies I couldn't use just out of spite.
You know who/what is telling you how to play? YOU. YOU are the one deciding you NEED certain recipies or IOs, not the game. Not one of my toons has a single purple enhancement slotted, and few have any really powerful sets slotted, and I enjoy playing them anyway.
The game doesn't force me to spend millions or billions of inf on enhancements to enjoy the upper levels, any more than it forces me to spend hours at a time in RV trying to get the badge for controlling heavies, so if I choose to spend those millions or billions on those enhancements, or those hours in RV trying to get that badge, it is ME telling MYSELF how to play the game, not the Devs.
Things change in life, adapt. -
Mags and I ran the first two missions of the Nance "Dark Mirror(?)" arc tonight. If you guys are level 20 or higher and want to run those two missions you'll be caught up to us next week.
Also, wondering if we should start another recruiting drive since we seem to be bleeding teammates. Thoughts? -
Quote:If your friend is in a SG/VG and is in SG/VG mode, their earned prestige will continue to increase, which could give away the fact that they are online, but someone would really have to be looking for that to find them out that way.Originally Posted by jacktar
Are there other things I should be aware of that "doing" may compromise that "Hidden" status?
Likewise if they add something to, or take something out of SG/VG storage, the log will record what time they did it. But again, you'd have to really have a stalker for someone to determine that you were online in that manner. -
