Zombie Man

Those I find amusing if it's more than just banging on their motto. Even more so if those word balloons are tailored for the specific cutscene.

But, I've run into a lot of people who, upon hearing, "no cutscene bombing" respond with "What's that?" even though they have seen it a few times already.

Apparently 'bombing' isn't as wide spread meme as I thought it was.

And so, Know Your Meme: Photo Bombing

Yes.

And No.

Yes if you want it all RITE NAO! (Especially if you're doing that for many alts.) Then you need to fill up all your gaming time running the iTrials over and over, and again with different alts.

No if you're willing to not be the most uber or not have every single unlock; or, if you're patient. Obviously, if you settle for just Tier 3 powers, it is *a lot less* work than going for Tier 4s. And if you're willing to do them occasionally rather than several times a day, you'll always get an Empyrean Merit, which is worth a lot. Running an iTrial in the Emp cool down period is not efficient use of time.

And part of the grind is that folks are still feeling out the Keyes and not running it with the high efficiency of a Speed Trial yet. A league that knows exactly what it's doing should be able to knock off a Keyes in 30 minutes. We're not there yet.

Can you place it and it's not working? Or is it that you can't place it?

It needs to be in a Control Room. And, you need enough Energy and Control to power it.

Here.

In the tradition of renaming a zone after a devastation event (Baumtown > Boomtown), GC should be renamed. Some suggestions:

• Galaxy Ruins
• Catastrophe City
• Collapsity City

Calm down.

There have been significant changes made in the file structures.

*Anyone* who hasn't updated Beta in a few months will have nearly the equivalent of a full re-download.

And I foresee another reorganization of the files again before Live.

If you can't afford the time or bandwidth, I'd stay away from Beta until you know you have access to it.

I've seen some obvious and non-exploitive farms disappear within the past few months. Though, it is possible the owner of the arc pulled it.

Duct tape on the screen?


(PM me if you don't mind.)

<kick>


I do kick, and have kicked, but only after warning them. [And I don't kick if they simply got caught in the cutscene running back from the hospital. Nor do I kick for spamming binds off-camera.]

(I bet you a million INF someone will /nerdrage over that statement completely ignoring the fact that I warn them first.)

I started warning the league right before we started. But then they claimed they didn't see it. Yeah, right. They saw which team was supposed to go into which lab/storehouse, but they didn't see the no-bombing warning. OK. Pretty selective instruction reading there.

In addition to warning them not to cutscene bomb, I say "first team done help the second". And each time I've kicked, there was plenty of time to help the other team... it wasn't like the other team was working on their last cache. I know I had time to jump into the other map and work on a target. But actually helping out is not the cutscene bomber's style. They want to just stand around while others work so they can showboat.

So if anyone says, "I didn't see the no-cutscene-bombing warning." Then did they also miss "Help the other team!"? That's *very* selective sight there.

So to avoid the "I didn't see the warning" lame excuse, I now recruit, "Forming a Lambda. PST. All ATs. RWZ2. No cutscene bombing." If anyone thinks I'm "too SRS" (anarchists are lulzy that way), they can simply not apply. And if they do apply and bomb, they get kicked.

Speaking of anarchists who have problems with social skills and getting along with the conventions of the league leader who was kind enough to invite them and organize their play-time: One time when I began the Lambda telling folks not to cutscene bomb, one player was all like, "Hey, why you no fun? This isn't srs bizness. this is supposed to be fun!"

OK, first of all, if this is suppose to be 'fun', why the heck are you starting an argument in an aggressive and ignorant matter? Some people like to have fun without cutscene bombing and are having fun without it. Some people are farming Emp Merits and don't want to spend another second in their thirty-fifth Lambda that week. So instead of simply asking 'why', we get that aggressive whine couched as a supposedly innocent question.

So I explained why: Spend time helping the other team and not showboating. Don't risk aggroing Marauder early. AVs have higher perception especially with the Orbs around.

So he continued the aggressive questioning.

<KICK!> <ignore ignoramus-man>

For someone who's main goal was fun, he was picking a fight over the ability to act silly. I guess acting silly is SRS BZNZ!

I was stating a fact about how AE gets modded, when it does get modded, not my opinion about it.

It's actually named after Frederick Ralston City, III. The Citys were big donors in building the arena.

Actually, it's time to finish proliferating Dark Mastery to all the ATs.

Well, Psy Dom gets Snipe. And Moonbeam is one of the better snipes since it has the extra long range.

If you put Fearsome Stare in Control, then you have to replace it in the Controller's version of Dark Miasma... so what would you put there?

Soul Drain is indeed in the Dom EPP. See the link in the OP for a complete list of all the Dark powers in all the sets.
