Ad Astra

I can take a stab at that -

I go through phases in playing this game. There have been a few months where I'm on perhaps a total of 4-5 hours - not per day, for the whole month.

So for the purposes of seeing people in-game, I'm not there. I am there for the purposes of your concern, however, BillZ, because I am paying my $15 to NCSoft by keeping my subscription active.

Why do I continue to pay a sub for a game I might not play very much if at all in any given mont? Frankly, the subscription fee is pretty minimal (even back when I was unemployed) in the overall scheme of household expenses. I cut out movies and going out, but kept the subscription because as we have had people point out numerous times - even if I only play those 4 - 5 hours, I have gotten my money's worth out of the game in comparison to the costs of alternate forms of entertainment.

Plus I can't be bothered to go into my account to shut off billing, since there's always the chance that I may decide to spend an evening playing.

And I still get to post here.

Fifteen dollars gets me access to occasional entertainment should the mood strike me, in-game, and certainly here in the forums.


Another change to my situation is that now that I am back to work, I spend less time in-game. Typically, I may be on an hour or so on a weekday evening or a Satuday/Sunday afternoon. Highly unlikely that I would run into many Oceanic players at those times as their playtimes run about opposite mine - so our subscriptions (mine vs. the Oceanic player's) will not be concurrent online. Even gamers have to sleep sometimes. I think you may be adding in a factor to take this into consideration, but I'm not sure.

No

Just look at all the pretty pictures!

I really have nothing else to add except "welcome to IOs, ioshie!"

I just wanted to say "IOs, ioshie" because it sounded kinda poetic.

Sounds like you inadvertantly stepped in the spawning of the mass of Clockwork that bring about a Paladin.

Though I thought those were higher level than something that would con gray to a level 11 Tanker.

I can be there.

I'm bringing either Agoniste, a level 39 Fire/Rad Troller (if we need the debuffs) or Brighid Frost, a level 41 Fire/Ice/Electric Blaster, to bring the pain.

Brighid doesn't have the badge, but Agoniste could use the XP, so either would be fine.

I can't offer anything for a stove, sorry.

For a refrigerator, I use white wall cabinets (the short ones of 2 cabinets side-by-side) stacked out from the wall two-deep (using the cubicle wall method to float them out forom the wall). Setting one set on top of another makes what looks kinda like a side-by-side refrigerator.

Here's a picture to show what I am clumsily describing:

Kitchen - Paragon Arcanum

I have also seen folks use stacked floor safes (turn them around so the doors face the wall). They use one of the single wall cables to make a handle.

Do you want to PL him so you can team?

With Super Side-Kicking, you can team effectively even if you aren't close in levels. They also removed most of the "level gates" to hazard zones, making a large majority of the content available to him as your sidekick.

OTOH, if the aim is just to get him to be HL, the others have aleady given you the answer.

I will be there with either a blaster or a Rad defender or troller.

I need to see which of four possibles need the TF.

OK - gonna chime in here.

This is my only MMO, and I have never played any FPS games at all. Before City, my game of choice was either something from the arcade games on MSN or Heroes of Might & Magic (not Might & Magic), which is turn-based. Also, never played any console games because I was just a bit too old for the Atari 2600, it belonged to my younger sibs (I was way to sophisticated to play it, besides, I'm a girl and arcade games were a "boy" thing - stereotyped, I know, but that was how it was in small-town West Virginia).

So I developed my own system of moving, etc., which is no doubt very inefficient, but I have tried others and can't really "get" them.

I use a laptop, sometimes with a second keyboard. If I am using the second keyboard, it's on the keyboard tray under the laptop. Movement is on the second keyboard with the left hand, using the arrow keys. Attacks are activated using the mouse pointing to the icons. Jump uses the right hand, moved from the mouse to the laptop keyboard.

If I'm using just the laptop, I still use the arrow keys, but it's a bit more uncomfortable because I have to move my left hand up to the laptop keyboard.

Many people have tried to teach me other methods, but I always come back to this one.

Make more alts! Try more than one character

You may want to post this up in the Tech Issues and Bugs forum - that's where the tech-heads hang out.

I have helped players add alts to SGs/VGs by making a throwaway character on an unused server.

Did you ask for a volunteer to assist you here in this forum? If so, shame on us (basebuilders) for not helping you out for free.

Zato -

Have you joined one of the global channels for Infinity? You can usually get the last member or two for a TF or Trial by broadcasting on a global - sometimes more volunteers than you need.

I'm on globals for a few servers, so I forget what the best ones for Infinity are when I'm not in-game, but I'm sure someone else will chime in shortly with the best one to join.

"Question?"

"It's an interrogatory, usually requiring an answer, but that's not important right now."

Sorry, the thread title made me flash back to Peter Graves (or was it Lloyd Bridges?).

Carry on....
