    Join the global channels "Victory Forum" and "Victory Badges". There's some action there that can get you started on getting the know some of the bigger SGs. Not to mention they'll help you find teams and join Task/Strike Forces.

    Edit: Zerlina beat me to it. As usual.

    What to do...

    You could read a book. Or clean the bathroom. Or cook something really interesting. There's always something.
  3. Knockback haters are fun to toy with. It can be hard to resist.
  4. This is great news. I've been waiting for this ever since I realized that the red market was a piss-poor imitation of a real market that's designed to make it harder for me to enjoy the villain side.

    I believe this is an example of what I like to call the non-apology apology. It's all the rage these days.
  6. I am unrepentant. If people don't want to be corrected, they can just ignore me. But I suspect there are a lot of people out there who would actually appreciate being told they they were using a word incorrectly. I certainly don't mind if someone corrects me. I don't have my ego all tied up in being right.
  7. Just for the record, it is a story ARC. An ARCH is the rounded top of a stone archway.
  8. It appears to me that Mr. Butane would rather play a comic book than an MMO, which is perfectly understandable, but I struggle to see the relevance here.
  9. Congratulations. It feels good, doesn't it?

Which, unfortunately, is useless for helping us players figure out what is or isn't an exploit before it's suddenly gone.
    If it smells like a possible expoit, treat it as an expoit. You won't go wrong very often.

I don't join SGs at random just to make money, either.
    Let us know what server you are on, and we'll direct you to the appropriate global channel.
  12. On a blaster, a good way to reduce your endurance useage is to slot some endurance reduction into your attacks. If you slot sets (such as Thunderstrike), you get a lot of endurance reduction as well as the set bonuses.
  13. I'm pretty sure no one knows that answer to that, or at least no one that's at liberty to talk about it.

    Here's a crazy idea. Maybe people do in fact know how to have fun, they just have a different idea of what fun is that you do.

    And not going to Hami raids because you happen to find them boring is nothing like raining on anyone's parade.

    In my opinion it's only slightly harder than the hero respec, although it does need a little more teamwork and coordination in the vine room. I've never been on a team that failed it.

    I vote yes on speeding up the timer or reworking the reactor room on the hero respec. That last bit it seriously boring.

    Am I missing something?

    She's talking about the major story arcs, not missions. You know, the ones marked on your contact list with little books. It used to be that you could only have 2 major story arcs open at a time, if you had two open you could never get any more. This caused all sorts of grief and trouble.

    Apparently, you can now have 5 major story arcs open at once. Which is nice. But it was a stealth update that was never mentioned anywhere.
  17. Who cares?

    EDIT: To clarify I meant, "who cares about the entire topic of conversation" not "who cares about Tenzhi".

    How did I?

    Its all I can think of that might have happened.
    I bet it's this Valentine power. It's one of the few temp powers that allows you to heal others, and I can confirm that it does give you badge credit.
  19. Suburbs are designed to be boring, so it'd be pretty hard to make them too interesting in a game. :P

    Maybe they would work as a change of pace though.

    Game down?

When's that fix going to push live?

    I suspect the people fixing the AE exploits and the people looking at Mac issues are completely different people with different skill sets, but I suppose we shouldn't let that get in the way of a good rant.

    No, please, no! Don't give me free stuff!
    I think the drop rate for the costume recipies is also too high.

  23. I don't care about rewards much at all these days. I've been around too long to really be interesting in leveling as a goal any more.

    I do run the Dev's Choice and Hall of Fame arcs now and again, and I've enjoyed doing so. It's never a bad thing to have some new alternate stories to run through. I haven't had any luck with trying to search out good arcs from the giantic pile of poorly spelled farm missions, so I don't really try. I basically wait around for someone to tell me what's good to try (Dev's Choice and the like) and then I try it.
  24. The Rikti invasions, at least those during the times when the devs haven't got them running all the time, are triggered by successful completely of the Lady Grey TF/SF. Since the Hamidon green mitos have been bugged its nearly impossible to finish the LGTF. Therefore, no Rikti invasions.
