    Thank you.
    You don't see where anyone did that, yet you link Zekiran's post where she states that she did that. Mmm hmm.

    The bottom line is you misunderstood NuclearToast's post, which is clear from your statement "Sorry, but I will continue to link to thumbnails....". The thumbnail is not what is linked to. The full size picture is what is linked to.

    Keep doing what you are doing, and don't let the naysayers stop you.

    1. I would start a thread under the appropriate Server list.

    2. Outline your idea and what you have planned for that week and try to pick times that are good for many play styles (early-afternoon, early-evening, weekends).

    3. Ask for feedback but most importantly, announce the winners. Heck, even ask the prize winners to post in the thread to build your reputation and momentum. Also, POST PICTURES!

    4. When broadcasting before an in-game event, paste the url of your forum thread. That should sqelch the majority of the rabble.

    Good Luck!

  5. A neverending joy for me. Big blue barrier + KB/Repel = Fun!




    I think that most of the Arachnos map holes are closed up by now, but they used to be pretty easy to find. Frequently out of necessity to find the mobs that took a wayward stroll.




    Seriously... it's RIDICULOUS how often my toons fall under either the Safeguard or Mayhem mission map for Founders' Falls. Usually it's after I exit the police station.

    Why on earth would you possibly care about how much prestige your SG has vs. another? There is certainly no in-game reason, much less a benefit.

    Why do players want to PvP? Why do players want to fill all their costume slots? Why do players want purple IO's? Why do players compete? The OP's motivations are their own. It doesn't matter if we understand them or even agree with them.

    What does matter is the possibility of a bannable offense being performed, which is what prompted the OP's question. The problem is not with the Inf to Prestige transfer, but the possible RMT transaction being used to pad prestige. If someone from that SG admitted it then /petition and let CS sort it all out.

    OP, place blame where blame is due. Go after those using RMT transactions and leave Inf to Prestige transfers alone.

    Okay I get it now, so ty for that.

    Still a very oddly worded phrase though...

    LOL

    Add that alongside swinging to the list of travel powers that won't be added to CoX.

    In auto powers they are always on. In toggle powers they stay active as long as the toggle is active, and 120 seconds after the toggle is turned off.

    I get defensive when people question my intelligence; the rest of that thread was myself trying in vain to explain that I was not against all farming, just AE farming.
    Sorry for the confusion.. my thoughts don't always make it out my head in a coherant manner. The name calling comment referred to your first post.

    Here is the post I was referring to. It's possible that you simply misunderstood Mid's tone. Granted your behaviour is not that bad at this point, but your penchant for name-calling shows early on.

    Let's be a bit more accurate, shall we? Many of your posts were antagonistic. You managed to be frequently sarcastic, condescending and belittling. You even managed to get snippy with Mid_Forever who happens to be one of the nicest people in the forums.

    Granted, anti-semitic words or behaviour of any type should not be tolerated. Yet be advised that the GM's will weigh your prior bad behaviour as well.

I don't have the end to throw it, but it's queued up.

    One second from now, 2.5 endurance points are coming my way. So, once again, what happens? And what happens if my recovery rate isn't high enough to cover my toggles? What gets precedence, queued attacks? Offensive toggles? Defensive toggles? Status protection?
    Well put question.

    That aside, once I16 hits just use brawl. It will no longer cost endurance to use.

    IMO, requesting new zones for PvP just isn't going to happen.

    That said, the Devs could consider turning an already existing and mostly unused zone into a cross-server PvP zone. Namely, 'Boomtown'.

    Also, think of the joy of TPing your favorite opponent to within range of Babbage.

    Really want to change to Lost Ninja.

    If the Devs decided to implement Perfect_Pain's wish of cross-server PvP, then I think this would be more feasible.

    That doesn't make sense though, since automated scheduled payments should be separate from the system being brought down. Unless I'm still missing something.

    It is irrelevant if a player's renewal date is between August 15 and November 15. What is relevant is that players not let their subscriptions lapse during that time.

    Okay I'm wading into unfamiliar waters here so feel free to correct me..

    Isn't the reason for this because the Tsoo are fashioned a bit after the Ninja? I was under the impression that the Ninja carried their blades on their back to be more stealthy as much as because it was non-traditional?
