  1. I made my first Blaster today, Radiation Blast / Energy Manipulation. The thing is... I don't know how to build him. I'm used to playing Masterminds and Scrappers. I've read that all blasters should take their primary's first two powers. I want to take Fitness and Flight power pools, and Force Mastery. I do not want to take Atomic Blast, as I'm not a fan of the crash. Other than that though, I'm at a loss. What other powers should I take? Which powers are musts, and which are skippable? Any other suggestions?
  2. Would it be possible for NCSoft to release some no longer used character names? Say characters under level 25 on accounts that have been expired for a year or more? Or, better yet, find a way to tie character names to the global name, so everyone can be Captain Bob?

    I became inspired to create a new Radiation Blast / Energy Manipulation Blaster tonight. It took me about 45 minutes or so to get the costume right, mostly black with a splash of bright red. When it came time to choose a name, I tried "Celestial Striker," figuring it would be taken. It was. Darn. Okay. How about.... "Atomic Striker?" Taken. Hrm. Okay, let's try... "Celestial Fusion." Taken. Grr. "Atomic Fusion." Taken. "Scarlet Fusion." Taken. Tried a few others. All taken.

    So, that character I spent 45 minutes putting together a costume for was never created, as I spent a good hour trying to come up with a good available name, only to come up empty handed.

    Really, it's gotten pretty difficult to come up with a character name that doesn't use leetspeak like C3lesti@l, or throw random letters and / or numbers in like Celestial A 3, or use a foreign language like Latin. Perhaps I'm uncreative.

    That surprised me when I first saw it, twenty years ago or so. That episode is so sad, between that scene, and Lisa telling Rick the news while he's still in the hospital, and then he says "Big brother..." as it hits him.

    Yeah, that is one of the best scenes from any television series, imo. It was one of the very few scenes with Minmei in it that I didn't want to see her shoved out an airlock.

    One battle fortress and a few thousand newly allied Zentraedi rebels against an armada of 4.8 million Zentraedi warships. I gotta tell ya, Gloval and Breetai both had some serious stones.

    Now I'm tempted to watch one or two of the DVDs during my day off tomorrow...
  5. Not exactly my toon, but seconds before the Rikti mothership raid starts each Thursday night, I play "We Will Win" from Robotech. :\
  6. My favorites are George Michael, Gloria Estefan, Sarah Brightman, Alice Cooper, and Queen. The newest music artist to catch my interest is Lady Gaga.
  7. Here's one from two weeks ago that I've been holding onto:

    Thanks

    Thanks for the great Hamidon raid and party tonight, and congratulations on one year, Stoned Templars!
  9. Which would be better for general PvE soloing?

    Now, see, I find that offensive, because that's God's name.

    Sarcasm server? No way! I know I'm not sarcastic, at least.

    Everything offends someone. If we took time to make sure what we say doesn't offend someone, nothing would be said.
  13. Welcome aboard, Hatch!

    Any QA Left?

    It's a legitimate game-related question by a player.
  15. Celestial_Lord

    Any QA Left?

    Does NCSoft have any QA left? After the last couple of patches, it sure doesn't seem so.
  16. In addition, some people have received 1.5x the normal reward merits for Strike / Task Forces due to the new patch.

    lol, QA.
  17. Does NCSoft even bother testing patches before pushing them live anymore?
  18. Just a reminder that there will be no Rikti mothership raid tonight. See y'all next week!

    Pfft. Like anyone uses the Mission Architect anymore.

    That's hot.
  21. This is the guy y'all are backing? Really?



    Pfft.
  22. Trick or treating redside is much easier and more productive in the Rikti War Zone than Grandville.

    Yep, that was my problem as well. I need to let my work know about six months in advance before I take a vacation, and NCSoft waited until the last minute to announce the HeroCon dates.
  24. Congratulations, Stoned Templars! Y'all are some of the best people I've had the honor of playing with.

    Unfortunately, I have no uber character for a four person Statesman Task Force, but I'll be at the Hamidon raid with gold chains on. :;
