  1. "Nice heals" should be said to every defebcer you team with if the team is doing well. That's all defebcers do.
  2. I love it, because my ice/ice tanker is almost always at full health because of it. Ice slick FTW.

    One good thing came from this: Finnegans Wake sounds like an excellent read, and I shall have to procure myself a copy when I have the funds and time. Thanks Acyl: The More You Know!

    Not that I would ever discourage anyone from reading, but before you get all set to have a go at Finnegan, here's an excerpt from the 8th chapter - called the "Anna Livia Plurabelle" chapter

    Oh God!
  4. My namesake, Battlebabe. I get a lot of compliments on this one. Shape Lee is another of my favorites. I cheated, that is two.
  5. Level 51 requires team mates, and you all have to be high too. That way everybody is happy to finally discover level 51. You do have to be on at least your third joint to find it though.
  6. I only do pug's. I hate teaming with the same people all of the time, it is boring. I like getting together with a bunch of different people every time, I think it is fun. I rarely get a bad team this way, contrary to popular belief.
  7. It didn't take me long to find out that the winners in the costume contests that I was in all had horns, spikes and/or barbed wire everywhere. Taste was not a part of the package.

    Leveling sucks.

    OMG, this post needs some cheese, lots and lots of cheese. Do you know the difference between this post and a 747 jumbo jet? When you turn off the jet it stops whining.
  9. Ice doesn't make huge blocks of stone all over the room, and it doesn't make constant rumbling sounds and shaking video. It is much easier on the senses, eyes and ears.
  10. This has got to be the biggest waste of developer time ever. I would rather have them fix bugs and address longstanding problems. I don't really see the thrill in changing the color of the same power animation, yawn.

    TF "Must Haves"?

    I hate the new trend, "Must send tell with build." I saw that the other day so I sent a tell, "I'm built like a brick !@#$ house, can I join?"
  12. It can't come too soon, because the servers have been throwing people off left and right lately. I cleared all but the last few mobs to get the badge from Kado Kestrel the other day, with a lot of spawns to clear, when suddenly......Lost Connection to Mapserver. AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHH!
  13. My fastest ever positron tf was with a full team at a little over an hour. We were all 15+ blaster with movement powers. We had only one death. We just all jumped each spawn and blasted the living crap out of them, it was great. The spawns only lasted a few seconds each before they were completely mowed down. We had a several aoe blasters and a few single target blasters. I highly recommend it. Of course we were all experienced players. It was a thing of beauty.

    He asked me to get him to 10, he was 5 at the time, and I suggested he just street sweep(you know, to see the sights and stuffs) or run some paper missions.

    He said something back I think, but I'm to tired to remember.

    Yeah, duh! Dood pow3rl3vl mee, just like how I gots to l3v3l fity.
  15. Plant/therm gives a lot of team support and solo's well. With plant you can cut incoming damage to nearly nothing from shortly after level nine and do good damage when solo as well. The therm set gives you shields for the team, heals, and a bit of buffing. Teams stay plenty healthy when my plant therm comes along to join. It is an easy combination to play too for a beginner. Remember seeds of confusion is your best tool with plant, and forget the sleep, it is of little use when you have soc. Be sure to keep the team shielded and just heal as needed after that.
  16. I'm so undecided on this one. What should I choose? What arguments could you proponents of each give me? I tend to solo and TF mostly, with a little eight man teaming once in a while. Those with exp with these sets please speak up.

    Cold or FF?

    Cold can do more things than FF and seems to have more fans. Cold is regarded by many as awesome, including me. I find it a lot easier to find teams with my cold def than I ever did with my ff defender. People really like the debuffs, and most are happy with a lot of def, as opposed to maximum def. If you wonder which to take, take the cold. I think you will enjoy being able to do more than just bubble people and blast.
  18. Oh Lord, we didn't open the AE argument again did we?
  19. You fool, you should have kept it to yourself. Now the black helicopters are coming.

    When I use flight, 2 slotted with freebirds I think, I'm always the last one to the mish but I have one of the fastest loading machines. Will you PLEASE speed up flight? More people would probably use it if it wasn't so slow.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Firstly, you're either grossly exaggerating or doing something wrong. I have characters WITH NO TRAVEL POWER who still aren't the last to get to the mission most of the time.

    Secondly, flight is already the most popular travel power. Why? Because it's FLIGHT! It's so 'superheroey'.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Not really. On my flying characters I can go straight to the mission, but below I see the ss and sj characters zooming away from me with my double IO's in flight speed. There is a big difference, but if the team is in that big of a hurry maybe somebody can tp me. I don't spend a lot of time worrying about it. I only have flight on a few characters for good reasons, the rest of them have ss and the jetpack.
  21. All of it really blows in my opinion. It is the same for me in almost any game. I would prefer silence. It is really silly when you think about it to get a theme song when you enter a new neighborhood, although everytime I drive into my own neighborhood the air is magicall filled with the strains of Disco Inferno. It's strange now that I think of it.
  22. It is quite good for solo work now or small teams maybe. It is not the only pet that is not so great on teams, Jack is not so great for a team. Jack may hold a bit and use CE some, but most teams will destroy a spawn before he does much of anything. Stoney is not that great either unless you are using him to tank for the team. All 3 are good for solo work though, and will reduce your mission duration by a goodly amount.

    TF Controller

    My plant/therm is awesome for a tf. She shields, confuses an entire spawn, heals, and buffs the team. She is a team in a can, just add tf.
