    WP/WM

    My main, who I am utterly in love with, is a WP/WM. However, I feel he can use a bit of (read: a lot of) tweaking.

    I hadn't really been able to afford to slot him that well... I'm a fairly casual player who will jump from alt to alt. So, while he has a few set IO's in there, there are still a number of SOs kicking around. Recently, I'd begun dabbling in the market, and I can now afford to be a bit more, er, creative with my build.

    Would anyone be so kind as to post a build I can peruse and sort of work from? There are bound to be people (I'm looking at you, Ace) with some builds I can take a peek at.

    Thanks all.

    another game i play phantasy star universe which is $9.99/month. it came out in october 2006. and ppl complain about the fee there all the time. and sometimes i subscribe to wow. also xbox live $50/yr these fees add up. 9.99 for psu, 14.99 for wow, 14.99 for coh. thats 50+ a month on games. this adds up.

    along with about 200 to 300 on groceries/alcohol/restaurants per month, 279 for rent each month. 40/mo to my brother for doing the dishes, and cleaning the apartment. 20 for adult entertainment. 50 for car insurance. 25 for renters insurance. 10 for life insurance. 30+ for gas. i'm gonna have to pay for dental insurance soon. also money for furniture, new bed, bedding stuff, electronics, soon a new $1200 computer. also other games i buy such as sf4, fightpad controller, defense grid, castle crashers, ssf2thdr and other games, video rentals. and medical expenses i just paid 735 for a hospitol bill, credit report 25. gambling, movie theateres, postal stamps, luckily no credit cards currently. and i get about $900/month from disability, and i live in north county san diego, ca. i'm not working right now. soon i'll go back to work after i have a cataract in my eye removed. then i go back to pizza delivery for round table while getting disability.

    i'm surprised so many ppl were against this. you must be rich or are you brats that live off your parents. how easily do you give away your money. it seems like you should want to save money not give it away. what are you gonna do when champions comes out? pay another 14.99 or let your characters die? i'll probably subscribe to this on, and off like i do wow. and switch to champions maybe when it comes out. also i was only trying this game out to see wheter i like it or if it was worth it, not promising to be a lifetime subscriber.

    you're complaining about the $15 here, but yet you spend:

    $10 - PSU
    $15 - WoW
    $ 4 - XBox
    $20 - porn
    $2-300 for groceries/restaurants/alcohol (Say $100 of that for restaurants/alcohol)
    undisclosed amount for gambling/theatres (for argument's sake, let's say $100)

    You spend nearly $250/month on non-essential entertainment. You are paying $25 less for your entertainment than your rent. More than a quarter of your income (of $900) is going to entertainment.

    I am no financial expert, but it's clear to me that you cannot afford
    - alcohol
    - excess gaming and equipment
    - a $1200 computer
    - electronics
    - video rentals

    And you balk at our paying $15/month for a game?

    Couple days ago Lord Stryker popped up on /search when I was lookin for blasters for my citadel tf.

    Ahh.. I miss that game. I beat two of them.... couldn't beat three and beyound. I think Three I couldn't beat because the final boss threw out so many freaking lethal status effects that something always ended up killing the whole group. >_<

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Myria was probably the most annoying final boss I have ever encountered. Though, because of it, I think the defeat was the most rewarding. Especially because I think I had 1 Wisdom Fruit at the time.

    I got my email announcing this event 1 day before the event.

    I would have at least expected the coh launcher/start up screen to advertise this event, and long in advance, as, this is what they normally do for events. But not so in this case.

    I rarely get time to visit the forums, let alone post in them.

    And the time period this event was being run, was whilst I was at work.

    I criticized the lack of consideration and gave feedback suggesting they run this over a weekend, over various time windows (I am aware that a dev or NC employee has to control those spawns).

    Don't label me as a 'whiner'. I have every right to feel the way I do, and post my point of view. I even gave constructive feedback. I am sure I am not the only person who feels this way.

    I fall into the category of pissed off, and, hoping that they run this some time over a weekend (with more than one day's notice).


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Ignoring the other forms of notice.... this was an anniversary event. Of course, it will take place on the anniversary. It is not a big secret which day the anniversary occurs.

    Admittedly, it would have been nice to run it on a weekend, but as you acknowledged, the spawns needed to have an element of control by a dev. Though it may have inconvenienced you, the player in Australia to miss out on this.... it would inconvenience them, the developers to work a weekend, likely, they are salaried employees and would do so without getting paid. I would imagine it would be a greater inconvenience to have you pay their overtime.

    what's wrong w/ Eastern Standard Time? afaik...television programming commonly uses that...

    Because people are anal. We're currently in Eastern Daylight Time.
  11. I love this community. Where else can I see people get bent out of shape because an event's timing may inconvenience an individual, or a pile of posts arguing 12:00am vs. 12:00pm?

    Synopsis: Heroes and Villains from all over Paragon and the Rogue Isles are disappearing. Labs are being ransacked. It's up to you to investigate.

    This seems like a decent place to ask: any idea what is wrong with using the word "amalgam" as part of a creature name? It wasn't the rest of the name, it accepted it when I replaced amalgam with hybrid, and the one extra letter shouldn't have put me over the character limit.

    Edit: Wikipedia to the . . . rescue? Apparently there is a marvel character by that name. I'd never heard of her, unsurprisingly since as far as I can tell she showed up in only one issue.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I don't think it was so much that individual character, but the DC Vs. Marvel comic books in the mid-90's. DC and Marvel together formed Amalgam Comics, where characters from either publisher merged with one another.

    Well, he'll no longer be at his strongest, if Level 50 is now Level 1.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    He'll still be level 50, and he'll still have all of his original powers and slots.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I understand that.... but how can he be at his strongest, if he can now attain level 100? Wouldn't that be the strongest?

    Make a CoH2 that allows you to port characters sure, but allow players to start normal too.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It's so ridiculously EASY to get a character to level 50 in a short time these days, that I really don't see this as an issue any more.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    But then you HAVE to own CoH, in order to play CoH2. Anyone interested in playing the sequel would be required to pay for the original.

    I don't know about you, but if I were a new player, I wouldn't want to buy a game, level a 50 buy a second game, and level a 100. You'd effectively have to be keeping both accounts active in order to create more 50's for game 2.

    Bad idea.

    You have to give notice, a couple of weeks normally.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No you don't. That's just a courtesy that employees tend to give their employers. This way, an employer isn't "caught with their pants down", and can train or plan for a replacement... and it gives the employee a better shot at a decent reference, if needed. It behooves both parties, but notice isn't mandatory. Really, what consequence could an employer dole out to an employee who resigns and leaves the same day?
