    So, are all the "Nice day" citizens Nemesis automatons?

    Is it a Nemesis plot?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    All citizens are Nemesis automatons. Including you.

    Me? How the heck di.... Lord Nemesis is watching you, Alvan... d you come to that conclusion?

    Now that was funny

    I can only hope that it is all connected to the coming storm.




  2. I can see where you're coming from Cognito but Nerfs aren't the answer, as they would wreck most casual players enjoyment to the point where they could lose interest in the game.

    The practical solution is to create a rep (or 2) above invincible.

    This would give more experienced players/SG's more of a challenge - without spoiling the balance of the game for others.


  3. I had tremendous fun this weekend


    I hit my 15th level 50 with my Fire/Fire Scrapper - Fireslam, which went from 44-50.

    I got my long suffering Kin/Rad Def - Velocitron - finally into the 40's ... 37-42.

    I also made a Storm Def, which I got to 28 and started a Sonic/EM Blaster, which I got to 14 before I passed out in my PC chair

    All in it was a fun weekend.

    I can't recall having to download a patch for previous DXP events?

    On a side note, are the servers down? I can't seem to log in, or am I missing something?

    Your Blasters...



    I have the following Blasters at 50:

    Fire/Fire - My main for TF's. High AoE damage and great fun.

    En/Em - Precision damage but not as fun as Fire/Fire. Needs to be used carefully or your team will be chasing KB'd mobs all over the map.

    Ice/Ice - More of a high dam Controller at times but fun to play. Very effective in small team/solo play.

    AR/Dev - Sneaky

    Elec/Elec - Very effective in PvE but somehow unsatisfying to play. Needs a graphics revamp on the powers.

    ...and these in the works,

    Psi/Psi - 31
    Sonic/Em - 8

    I love Blasters

    Hmmmm...G.I. Joe fan? That was the one with Cobra and Cobra Commander in, right?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Um .. no.

    I was thinking of someone else who has lots of nice things to get him from place to place.

    Who's to say they wouldnt just add 4 new servers
    transferred from Europe. You would all keep
    your names then and also have access to all them
    other servers lol...isnt that the best of both?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This is correct.

    I play almost always with SG (Foxbase Alpha/Omega) and coalition players so the server numbers don't really affect me. I'm always in a team when I want one.

    The suggestion above does have merit however and would be painless to all concerned.

    I have no problem with this subject being raised on a frequent basis - as it's an obvious concern to a few people, who clearly want the the game to thrive.

    If people want to comment on it then do so. If they don't .... then don't.

    sewers works for me

    Works for me as well. There are shedloads of Embalmed down there.

    It's also the best place to hunt Lost bosses for the badge.

    I miss......



    I miss....

    Running to a mission in The Hollows that is 1.13 miles away and getting killed 50 yards from the mission door.

    Oh no .. wait.....

  12. I like the early sig villains and I still enjoy doing the Frostfire mission after all this time.

    I would love to see a level 45-50 arc that includes the return of Dr Vashilok, Atta and Frostfire - as AV's.

    It would need a bit of work to have outcasts, trolls and vash as 45-50 mobs but it would be entertaining IMHO.

    Which Server?



    Defiant is my home.

    I have 12 50's on defiant and 1 on Union, although the poor character did get to 50 on Defiant and was transferred to Union.

    I'll bring him home one day soon.


  14. I would agree with this.

    I don't post very often here (too much time playing) but it deserves to be recognised that this game has been very much improved in 2008.

    All we need now is more tileset/map variety and a few new villain groups and perhaps a new or revamped zone and I'll be doubly impressed.


  15. Welcome back Steel.

    FWIW having a lot of new players on an SG can be a lot of fun as well


  16. I remember a couple of years ago, a thread on the US side about a character that spawned on CoV as a giant. The toon must have been 30 feet tall

    I can't find the screenies I saved though. Anyone remember this?


  17. I don't think it's luck of the draw.

    I spent over an hour in PI this morning ToTing and I spawned only 2 ghosts in that time, out of hundreds of spawns. There were no runners either.

    IMO it's simply a glitch, but one that needs fixed.

    US server exodus



    I learned a long time ago that anchors have a very short lifespan and the higher the levels the shorter the lifespan.

    It doesn't bother me in the slightest.

  19. I had great fun with my SG (Foxbase) this weekend.

    Plenty of toons played and various levels gained but the main success really has to be getting my long term Ice/Rad troller from 43 to 50. It only took a year to get there

    I also unexpectedly made an Inv/SS tank and took it to 14, late on Sunday evening.

    Scrappers.

    Tell your friend to try out DM/Regen.

    It's by no means an 'uber' build and it isn't exactly high burst damage but it's just a very fun build to play.

    I've had tried out several Scrapper builds and DM/Regen is the one that I would recommend to a relatively new player.

    Yes, Spines/DA or BS/DA are highly effective PvE builds but the Endurance issues need to be carefully addressed there, if you're going to enjoy actually playing the character.

    DM/Regen wasn't even on my radar for a build until I tried it out, just to see what it was like. Once I did that I was hooked on it.

    It has zero Endurance issues, a decent measure of control, great survivability and nice DPS. You need to stay busy to get that DPS but that's what Scrapping is all about for me.

    Oh and did I mention it was a fun build to play?

    Of all the AT's/builds I've played only my Fire/Fire Blaster is more enjoyable to play.

    Tell him to try it out. I think he might like it.
