    if all you have is a heap of information about your HO'd Tanker, then I have to wonder why the hell you're talking about it in the Scrapper forum

    I really think what you're saying is ridiculous.

    There's always a 'likes to fight guy'. K, if you had an all HO fire/mace tank pre-ED/GDR/HOnerf, and stand by that contention, is this the anticipated point where I bring out hours of research with 2004 screenies, and we webfight...

    I'm guessing not everyone who points to being 'there' actually rode the full HO build train.

    Easy way to find out of course is just find a purpled fire armor tank setup just to survive, head to MI & pull 6-7 GMs, see what happens. Take pics for fun.

    I had a friend fire an LRM Rocket from behind the middle building (where Tina stands) to a CoT mob near the wall line leading out of Portal Court, and watched it go what had to be over 250ft and obliterate it's targets.
    It's a shame there weren't more vids captured during the first couple years, there were some damn funny overpowered things happening during the HO farming days.

    That's just silly. My pre-ED/GDR fire/mace tank filled with HO's would destroy a purpled/pvp-IO Incarnated counterpart in virtually all measurable categories.

    For fun after Hami raids I would tank 8-9 giant monsters solo, on a weak fire armor tank, which is certainly impossible post ED, along with many other implausible feats currently, Incarnate or no.



    I prefer the post ED game and IO's because it's more challenging, but no character will ever be better then a pre-I5 with access to 50% HO's.
    If you didn't experience those days, you missed out on some outrageously over the top game play.

    That carrot at the end of the stick is withering in the dry sun, imo.

    I'm impressed they made the Post.

    Almost don't want to forgive him for that one.
  9. Through the years Ice has largely been thought of as a pet project to round out a collection, which isn't to say the set is bad per se, it's just that there are primaries that are better.
    The slows and team management aspects of IA, while very effective, are much less dazzling then shield charging into a mob, laying down burn, or having a temporary god mode.

    I'd suggest trying Ice/Ice if you decide to give it a go and sticking with it to 50.


    It's also a welcome addition to a glass of Scotch.

    Roll a Shield/SS, there wont be much need to sacrifice, either way.

    Alternately, a tricked out Stone/Stone crossover Brute, is nearly the finger of God.

    So why sacrifice when $$$$$ influence can get you both..

    More MMOs are either launching with, or adapting to the F2P model in 2010 than ever before.
    the MMO titles that adopted FTP within the past year experienced solid population gains.

    Though, personally I doubt anything is going help the principle OP is referring to. Somethings start out bad in Alpha and never improve.

    You've been subbed to the same game for seven years, it's likely not "event" fatigue. ;]

    My 2cents, but I've hit a pause (me and my wife) in my auto credit card reflex for the boosters, after the last one.

    Revenue is the only reason this game exists, and we've bought everything available sans the party dud to this point, but there's an aura of gullibility inferred in the last two now imo and I'll wait for something with a little meet on the bones.
