__Naq

Hey, everybody. Naq here (@naq). Here since a few months after launch. One of the fondest convention memories I have was answering Jack's trivia Q for a copy of the game and an intro into my biggest addiction *ever*.
Due to raging alt-itis, I have a grand total of *3* 50's.

Naq (Inv/EM Tank) --moved to champ
Paradigmshift (46 NRG/Elec blst)
Redeeming Fire (50 Fire/Rad 'troller)
AlterNaq (50 EM/INv Brute)

Majorly digging the Incarnate system, as it gets my high-lvls in action as other than SG banks. Always up for a TF.

Rich

It's not just you. I get the same thing from time to time. One day it's fine; the next it's all over the place in terms of sluggishnesss and inability to contact it at all. Obviously not everyone's having the same issue, so I chalk it up to either Inet routing ot my work's firewall.

Rich (@Naq)

Any particular time? Wouldn't mind getting a look at Apex..

Rich (@Naq)

Yeah--sorry--keep forgetting there's more than one time zone

Rich

Up for either. Never done States, though. NRG/Inv Tank. I'll be jumping around starting 6-7p this evening. Wouldn't mind either of the new TFs also..

Rich

Anybody up for the above this evening? Doesn't look like anything on the Champion calenday tonight..

Rich

Whatever your pleasure..1st time doing the arc, though, so I'm trying to do it slow enough to take in the story.

Rich

Gonna be doing Trapdoor for anyone wanting in. I guess time depends on who else needs the mish.

Rich

expanding for Issue 20 (Levels 50+)

Am I the only one to wonder if this heralds plans to reverse a long-standing position on the lvl cap...

Rich

How do you stretch out the "D" sound?

I would imagine not, as there's no announcement regarding an extended maintainence for tomorrow--don't they usually get those up Mon. morning?

Rich (who's crossing a few fingers for good measure)

I would imagine that if it were going to hit tomorrow, we'd see something concerning the maintainance.

Is the article posted anywhere else? Can't get to Massively through work..

I think as long as the devs can keep Paragon, the Isles, and Praetoria fluid, *CHANGING* (that's the key--when people jump, it's not because something else is BETTER, but mainly because it's DIFFERENT) environments, CoX should be around for a long time to come..

Rich

Edit: What *I* want to see is some acknowledgement in the form of "Kheldan-type" arcs (arcs made specifically for a particular type of character) that your character is actually jumping into a different universe ("Who is Statesma--OMG It's Emperor Cole")
Think about it--with as much high-lvl content as there IS regarding the Praetorians already--YOU are FROM that universe. ALL of the high lvl people in this universe oughtta be out to get as much info from you as possible, instead of you running the same-old, same-old 20-something content that you, as a player, have run ad infinitum

Somebody ( I think it was GMan) suggested updating drivers. I was getting the same thing until I did that. Fine now...

Rich

I don't consider myself a power gamer by any stretch (2-3 mishes a day), but I'm not having the difficulty issues others seem to be. Possibly because I hover out of melee range and debuff/hold/immob (elec/rad 'troller). I've actually been hoping for a mechanism that'll allow the bosses into the mix.

Rich

Edit: I've also noted the lack of flying stunners in Praetoria--possibly something the devs may wanna add here and there to keep hover from being a "I win" button

I'm in with Redeeming Fire, if you need him--Fire/Rad.

Rich

I've got a 49 Fire/Rad 'troller for the next time the opportunity arises. Redeeming Fire. He survived my 'Guardian Purge' (moved almost half my toons to Champion).

Rich

Arrgh--figures that would be the Chicago Wizardcon weekend.

Rich

Sweet. Gratz. How did you all handle the waves at the end?

Rich

Good Luck. Someone do a 3-hour vidcap, eh?

Rich

Sorry about that first death, BTW. Didn't mean to go all Leeroy Jenkins---

Still dunno how you guys managed to weather those fifth waves without a death, though..

Rich

Is there a better choke point? A place where they can't come in behind us?

Rich
