Quote:Penny is always welcome in Doomopolis and I have just the place for her.PENNY!
Where were you when I needed you in the Cosmic Power thread?!
Flux, get this woman luxury accommodations in Doomopolis immediately!
Welcome to the club!
Oh, yeah! (cues up Barry White on the stereo)
Mwahahaha!
As I have had other things occupying my time, I haven't kept up on all the information. Is it not possible to team up to open the Alpha slot? Or is that just an example people are using?
Also, as others have noted, this whole process seems fairly time intensive. Unlock the alpha, do X number of tfs/stuff to gather up garbage, craft garbage, then do uber tf. I have 33 (I think ) 50's and a couple more in the 40's I'm currently working on. I suspect it'll take me 1.5-2 weeks a toon to get to the point of being able to do the uber tf. I dunno how well that's gonna work out.
Plus there is the whole deal of having to respec every toon....
Hell, I haven't even run alignment/morality missions on half of my toons.
Eh. I imagine that most of you, as did I, put more end-game content was desirable when you filled out that questionnaire way back in the day. I guess this comes in under, "Be careful what you wish for..". -
Quote:*sigh* Only half right again. I've always been a jackass. It just requires the proper motivation for it to become apparent.Not even in your first match and you're already being a PvP jerk. I call for an immediate disallowation of this slack-jawed yokel from further participation.
And the only reason I'd have to follow you around is because I'd have to clean up all of your slobbering drool
Also. Congratulations on the promotion! The senechal hadn't informed me of your status change. Does the drool towel have your initials on it like the piss bucket did?
OK. I'm done with the thread derailment. Sorry Masque. -
-
Fixed for accuracy.
As per usual, Voodoo was only half right.
My thoughts on the matter:
I now require everyone to address me as "Your Majesty".
However, as an act of supreme generosity, all but Voodoo are exempt from having to do this.
It appears that it was a good thing that I didn't make this PvP toon a huge, shirtless male. Otherwise Voodoo would have been following following me around instead of attacking the enemy. -
Ah. Gotcha. You'd think people would have better things to do than that but I guess not.
-
Huh? I wasn't trolling. Anyone who has teamed with Hamster knows everything I said was legitimate.

Quote:...in the beginning there was nothing...
...and then Satanic Hamster said, "Let there be light!"
...still it was dark as Hell but at least you could see it...
...and from that abyss emerged...
...nothing...
That's a good start.
Well, if that's how you are going to start it, it needs more Desu! Desu! and Meow! Meow! Meow!. Not to mention at least one, "It's an ambush!"
You will also need to put in the part about a rez being needed after the last phrase. -
Eh. If needed, I can roll up a debuffer. Just let me know what/if you want.
It would definitely have to undergo treatments of rapid xp exposure as I'm finding soloing a Dom through Praetoria an interesting experience and don't have the time right now to push another toon.
Also, I would reserve the right to play the Dom on occasion.
To further expand on this. I'm not trying to be terribly altruistic. The way I see this is as follows:
This is to teach people how to PvP and foster an interest in PvP amongst those who don't normally participate.
If most large (i.e. 6-8) PvP teams field a, b, c, and d components and we only have a & b or a, b, and c, we are going to be unprepared for dealing with that last part of the equation.
Just my 2 inf. -
Quote:I suspect he nuked it when he started working with the titan network. IIRC his site had his planner, a forum, and access into irc.
Semi-related, anyone know if Polaris nuked his site? Can't remember what all was on there, but I tried to get people to use it in the same fashion. And it didn't get used, just like the forums (here anyway) are hardly ever really used anymore as well.
Oh. Almost forgot. Wasn't there an events calendar as well? -
Meh. I would say that the people are over-rated but there's a reason soylent green was a favorite food...
As far as people using a wiki page for self-aggrandizement, eh, it's been my observation that those who are desperate for attention will find a way to express that in one form or another. Whether it is here on the forum, in game, or in the global channels. At least on a wiki page I don't have to do anything to ignore it.
And for those that want to have a wiki page just for the fun of it, who am I to pee on their parade? Unless they want that, then we'll have to negotiate that business in a more private setting. -
Thank you. You are a gentleman and a scholar. Or was that officer and gentleman? Wait! That doesn't seem quite right either.
I know! Ebil Marketeer and Dirty PvPer! And for all we know you may sneak onto Virtue and hang out in Pocket D wearing a cat suit! Or was that you? I know I saw someone..I mean, I *heard* about...someone..nvm. -
Quote:Don't include me in your twisted reindeer games. However, feel free to record and post your activities on the internet. I hear there's a thriving market for such things. If nothing else, I'm sure the interwebz can use the lulz.(I'll probably have my enter key unbound during these sessions for the character to avoid any misinterpretations and/or ill feelings from the Fluxs' in the group)
Back to srsbsns.
Masque- Since I'm going to be foolish enough to run a Dom, that means I'm red side in the current scenario. Would it be permissible for me to run a Dom up to 20 gold side and turn blue(I would use a 2nd build for PvP)? I ask this because I don't know about the rest of you kids, but I've always found it much easier to get the accolades blue side than red. (i.e. Atlas Med., TFC, Portal Jockey, FPR)
Also, I definitely need a build for this (mind/fire) as the last Dom I played was before the Dom changes, was for PvE, and IMHO, stunk. It was an iso toon that once I hit 50, I ran from as if it were about to explode. -
I would be willing to take part in this as long as it isn't being held on Wednesday nights.(I'm betting my infrequent forays into PvP-land don't qualify me as a PvPer)
Also, when are you planning on starting? I need to free up a slot on Victory. -
Quote:I believe this is more appropriate.
Well, that is one explanation for the lessening of the server population, but those people usually come back...usually.....
Though I have heard that Hamster does have access to a pig farm.
For the unenlightened:
"And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig ****, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig". " -
Hmm. I feel an almost over-whelming urge to report Hams last post...
And enjoy your time off MG. -
Quote:Which is essentially what some are doing.I think a better strategy might be; buy something that's worth the most at the time, craft it, and sell it.
I've found that it takes me between 1.5-2.5 hrs to get an a-merit. Depends on whether I'm dawdling at the market between missions and how many escort tip missions drop.
As far as how I'm using them. Eh, it's probably not the most financially correct method, but so far I've been using them to get recipes like Numina heal and LotG defense that sit in the 25-30M range on the market. I need a ton of these and they're only 1 a-merit each. -
Quote:Because it's boring? At that point you might as well hop into an AE building and run it to 50.On my way up, I usually run missions and task forces. But this raises the question; why do anything but A-missions? There is currently a fairly significant financial incentive to only do that. It's far more efficient then doing the 50/20 conversion.
Personally, I have a couple of toons that I have been grinding a-merits on. One blue (scrapper) and one red (brute). Yes, I know with the email system in place it's not necessary but doing things this way at least adds a little variety. I tend to run the scrapper more because I find the villain morality mission more annoying than the blue one.
As far as the 50/20 situation, I suspect the devs will eventually regret putting that carrot out there. Not so much that you can convert reward merits into a-merits but that you can essentially convert 50 reward merits into 100 reward merits as far as random rolls are concerned. -
Meh. I have 2 mms at 50, bots/storm and ds/dm. I can still understand some peoples dislike of them. When playing a non-melee toon, I really couldn't care if they're on the team or not. However, when playing a melee toon, they can be a pita. The pets can bulldoze you out of position or into a bad position. They also can be annoying to maneuver around in a fight, especially when -jump/fly has grounded you.
On the positive side, it's rare that a mm doesn't add a lot to the overall team effectiveness, unless you have someone who won't control pet aggro. -
OK. At first I figured it was a weird phase or some sort of odd troll. But you've gone too far with "Affable Kitty".
I demand to know what you've done with the real Satanic Hamster!
Those of you in the NJ area need to call the National Guard, State Police, NSA, CIA, FBI, Section 7, Warehouse 13, w/e. Let them know that aliens have landed and are taking over the populace!
Come on people! We have an emergency here!
Or not. Maybe Hamster has become a disciple of the late Timothy Leary. -
Quote:Too soon.Since we're sharing, I also have a list of everyone I've ever teamed with, recently using Global Names, with anecdotes and star ratings; the ingame star rating is notoriously flaky for me In this list is a star rating of 1 to 5, and the reasons why they are whatever I deem they deserve.
In another column is what I'd like to do to them in person, based on what they did to earn their rating.
Once in awhile, I like to roll a D10 and match up a fantasy TF team with this pool of people. I then roll play what would most likely happen, again based on the comments I have written down and the star ratings.
And sadly, I don't believe Penny got the intent of your *sharing*.
Unless she actually believes Voodoo=Hamster.
Personally, I feel that you are separate people, just that one of you lives in the others basement...
I refuse to speculate as to which one of you is on top. -
Well, this does explain the long periods of apparent inactivity in the FoJ and SoV bases.
I had just chalked it up to being distracted by pr0n...
And to answer the question: Not at all.
Hell. I've logged into toons after x weeks/months of relative inactivity and wondered, "Now why did I put out those bids?". Or more likely, discovering a purple/numina/miracle/lotg recipe I'd forgotten about. -
It's nice if the powers will still take slots. Otherwise, it's a massive nerf.
Also, as Hamster pointed out, wtf am I going to do with 3 extra power selections that I most likely will be unable to do anything with slotting-wise.
Under those conditions I can see leadership becoming a very common pool for squishies. Mmmh, +perception and +tohit on my blasters w/o having to make the pri/sec power sacrifices on pve builds. -
12) Emp/Thermal/Pain Dom - Flux
I dunno who this guy is but I currently have red side on this server:
1 widow
2 brutes (elm/ela, ss/wp)
2 corrs (dark/dark, rad/kin)
1 mm (ds/dm)
1 stalker (em/ea)

Eh. The "super team" concept has never really caught on in Victory land. Personally, while the idea is amusing conceptually, the draconian way some groups on other servers have presented it completely turned me away from the possibility of joining one. (i.e. More or less being told the build you are going to use)
I'm sure that there are people on Victory that have done this but I haven't seen too much activity in this forum or the large public global channels to indicate that it's a popular idea here.
Good luck in your quest.
