Before I get to my point, please understand I am not upset nor am I picking on anyone. I am just really surprised. I play on 6 servers, but recently moved all of my characters from Triumph to Exalted. I moved to find a larger population to play with.

What I find myself surprised by is the amount of players I have run into that seem to be very new to the game. Yesterday I was forming a Treespec (WST this week) and had probably 7 people ask to join, but then when I tried to invite they were heroes. I also had 5-6 tells that said something like, "What is that?" or "What is Treespec?".

Not the end of the world, but I really had the impression that Exalted would be the server with the more experienced players.

I have always just slotted with 3 stamina IOs and maybe a performance shifter (chance for end). But I was reading that some people use the End Mod sets in stamina. How many of you do that and to what success.

(Yes, I am aware how people slot may differ depending on powerset--regen, WP, come to mind).

I have had no issues with my Macbook Pro and CoX. I know that doesn't help, but I want you to know it is probably not the machine.

This has to be a joke, right? I wouldn't buy a name in the first place. But this name? Even for free, I have no use for it. (I do think it is a silly name, but I also just am not a fan of all the names I see that are pretty golden age comic booky)

OK I got on and I don't know how to help. When I click on the colors, if it is original, the color grid doesn't come up. It only come up if I click on Bright or whatever.

Ah, and just realized we did the same iTrial this morning on Virtue.

I am at work so won't be logging on, but if I understand your question, why not just create a new Illusion and look at what color it is there?

I know this is a silly question, but I am going to ask anyway. I have all the points for the Tier 9 rewards, but want to clarify. If I don't purchase something in Tier 8 (the EB), is there any penalty? Meaning if I don't purchase everything in Tier 8, will I miss out on something later?

(I hope I am phrasing this right...)

I am curious--how many people have switched their "main" toons over the years? I deleted my first ever toon (why, oh why did I do that?), but my new and improved Katana/Invul scrapper (same powersets as original, just wanted to start over) became my main. I played the heck out of him until I got him to 50 (That was when getting to 50 was harder). I do have a lot of alt-itis, but I still play him and still like him. I was never big on the "main" like some people, but I definitely still play him a lot. I knew I wanted a scrapper and scrappers still hold a place in my heart.

Did anyone completely switch their main? Go from a tank to a defender or whatever?

I will admit I sometimes use toon because it is easy. I also use alt. Although character seems to make a lot of sense, I don't use it much. Again, admitting that it is probably being lazy. I am an educated person and I don't like the lazy-speak in emails or written communication, but in a game, I am much more likely to go the quick route. (Although I did find myself telling a teammate that we were not "doing very good" on a tf, but that we were doing well...then I shut up because it is a game)

Is it worth it now? I read all the numbers (some of which mean nothing to me!-ha), but I am wondering what the experience is like for those that play it now. Would you building another? I am mostly thinking brute, but want to hear it all.

I got tired of the lack of teams on Triumph, so I moved all of my toons to Exalted (I play other servers, too).

What is a good channel(s) to find TFs/Trials?

Where are iTrials formed?

Anything else people can tell me?
