  1. Goobye then to the only dude on these forums I ever saw disrespect a deceased players memorial thread by whining in it about the mans career choice. Cop or military, can't remember which. Zero. Class.

    Team quit rant

    I rarely quit teams teams unless it's just totally non workable, or the leader is a major jackass. Even then, after a couple wipes, I might run to base or contact and fill up my tray with purples and get some buffs and be "The Man" for a couple of minutes and strut my stuff.

    I've only quit 2 TF's. One was a STF where there was only 4 of us left (and next to no debuffs), the other was a Posi (the old style) where the leader kept griefing everyone. It was stupid, I would watch him pull other mobs while we were engaged, every time, then he'd say "sry, my mistake". After the third wipe due to this I called him out and we broke up.

    What annoys me most is when, on light population times and days, the leader will insist on filling the team even if it takes 15 minutes of looking to do so. In that case, after subltly making my feelings known by saying " Man, this is taking WAY too freekin long, see yall around", I bail.
  3. For extra fun, get lucky enough to spawn a Nictus crystal to along with the rampaging DE.
  4. I've had various stuff greyed out at times recently, fo no apparent reason too. It was fixed by just turning on and off Walk, of all things.

    While solo maybe, and if there's no high perception foes. It's a shame that tm and tb are unuseable 99% of the time while teaming, though.
  6. Buff /Devices to make it better and more team friendly please.

    Completely deleting Time Bomb OR making it throwable a short distance OR adding another pet OR some kind of BU (for instance) would be a good start. Stopping all the other web and caltrop temps and ancillaries in the game that compete with /Devices would help too. Auto Turret is weak as well, add a flamethrower to it, or heavy burst. Oh, and Targ Drone should just add + dam to every atatck as well as +to hit.

    VS is a little weak, but Electric is strong overall, even despite the almost useless secondary effects.
  7. Blaster /Devices ...oh wait...

    Rant about Caves

    HATE.

    I hate the kind of caves you get in Talos and PI. Specifically the long halls. The cake room is sorta fun actually though, but it's the miles of damn corridors that suck sucktastical suckiness.

    Especially now with so many MM's running around.

    I actually like the kind of caves the Hollows has. Those are plenty wide to maneuver and travel and yet retain the caveness feel.

    I truly wish they would replace the former with the latter.
  9. You people are desperately deranged.
  10. Did you know that if you double click the enhancement tab it will take you straight to the management screen, in stead of having to click enhancement then manage?

    Maybe everyone else does but I never knew that untill just recently with a missclick.
  11. My Fire/Fire Tanker. Just.Too. Damned. Squishy. No matter what I do, despite having Tough, Weave, CJ, and all armors. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
  12. I've got Tanks that don't get the the epic power pools because of a combination of much needed Fitness and Fighting pool powers. Now I will be able to!
  13. Whatever it is, I dunno.

    What it SHOULD be is some kind of Blaster attack.

    Dark Ring Misstresses are da debil due to the Mask oF Vitation debuff, yes.

    As for the rest of the discussion: Tanks are on the way out barring SF and TF's and some AV's. I said it a while ago and I find it to be coming true, at least in a lot of PUGs. There are just too many infringements now upon their niche, and it will get worse once those n00b MM's and Br00ts get cracking.
  15. Question: What powers do you want Alternate animations for?

    Every single Dual Pistol attack that involves spinning, leaping, shooting a weapon near your face, over your shouler, behind your back and every other way way WAY over the top silly and dangerous attack. etc.
    More Malta Gunslingerish, more Weaver stance kinda thing, please.
  16. Someone asked why play a Stalker over a Scrapper? Stalkers are just way WAY cooler, particularly with /Nin.

    Pure concept

  17. Do the RWZ Blaster challenge. Or hang around in Sirens un-emped.
  18. I was thinking more along the lines of: "Tank + Healer mentality = L2P n00b!"

    edit: L2P means learn to play, btw. Also the Ops mention of the Scrapper friends comment of "Less QQ, more pew pew" means less talk more fight. Ie: ADD afflicted, tacticless and mindless running around bunnyhopping fps style.
  19. The annoyance of the Ops gripe is and has always been pervasive blueside, as people have stated.

    Few people (PUGS) seem to know how to minion pull, break line of sight, or even know how to look around corners without aggroing unecessarily and it all feeds back into the same reliance on Tank+He4lur thing and self perpetuates.

    The last week I have been playing redside on my Stalker and it was a refreshing change. People seem to grab whoevers available and roll on without much, if at all, of "we need this or that" mentality (Outside of some few PUG SF's).

    When GR comes out it MAY start to change the blueside holy trinity dynamic to more closely resembling redside behavior. Personally, I think it will start to change and I also think that Tanks, at the least, will become even less popular overall than they are now.

    Regardless, everyone here who is serious/annoyed about trying to raise awareness about these things ought to put a line in their search description field saying something that captures the gist of this thread. If, for no other reason, than to be able to identify like minded peeople. Only thing is, how should it be said? Come up with something clear and brief and I will do so, maybe others will as well.
  20. Roll a Pirate guy with peg leg and hook and take Martial Arts for massive lolz.

    Seriously, I recently rolled a Ma/Nin and love him. Nin seems to mesh well with MA and has all kinda cool tricks and a heal. I personally hate DM because I loathe missing with Shadow Maul, not to mention Sands of Mu in succession (at early levels).

    A compelling reason to take MA is for the stuns which can stack and keep Lt's and even bosses perma stunned a lot of times. It also looks wayyyy cooler. Not to mention, when you hit 50, you never know, you might want to hit the pvp Zones.

    In short, I'd say: If you are a total min-maxer go with DM (pve), if you're like me and fall somewhere between concept and min-max then take MA (pve and pvp).
  21. What's wrong with clowns? What's not wrong with them! Wise up people!

    I can hardly see why you'd get hatefull mail. Most of your stuff seems pretty mild, if thoughtfull and I've been reading it for years. Even the "back before I hated people" thing.

    If you really want to learn to hate people then get a job in the so-called hospitality industry. Hotels, etc. Man, I could tell some stories.
