Quote:I did this about two months ago for some poor player who was stuck at that part in the Incarnate intro arc where you have defeat Hero 1 and whats-his-name. I also listen to broadcast and such... well, mostly so I can see others PST requests when they start forming iTrials. LOLOriginally Posted by Mr_Morbid
If I'm asked something along the lines of "Can you help me kill Nosferatu?" then I'm fairly likely to go and help if I'm able to. Teaming in order to accomplish specific goals is a different matter entirely and I'm usually willing to help people over rough patches. -
Quote:Well, I'd say that only the rude people on these forums believe that's true. I know there's several such people on these forums. Are you saying you're one of them?Originally Posted by PleaseRecycle
Telling people how to play the game is the foundation of this forum as you are probably aware.
Not a member of Virtue United are you?Quote:I disagree that finding teams is a trivial matter. Broadcast can work, help channel can work on some servers (not on Virtue, let me tell you!),
Waaaaait....
You're on Virtue?!?!?!?!?

Sorry I deflated your dogpile, Coyote, I'll try harder in the future to wither under your incisive remarks.
What part of "we're soloists" did you not understand? -
Quote:If you're any example of what we have in store for us if we accept blind invites, then I think we have differing definitions of "a positive experience".Originally Posted by PleaseRecycle
Welp, I never said it was for anyone's mental health, I did say they were depriving themselves of positive experiences and that that is a negative thing.

Quote:Because it's all about you, right?Originally Posted by PleaseRecycle
Since everyone is so deeply offended that I used a real thing instead of a fake thing, it has now been amended to be a fake thing. Feel free to instead focus on my point, which was that there's no reason to become a virtual recluse in city of heroes, unless you happen to have incredible spider powers.

You sure do take this "you must team with me!" thing rather seriously to have dragged this thread on much longer than it really should have.

Nah, that's all the astonishment. Anger would be denoted by all caps and an added exclamation mark.

Quote:But... surely, using such a large font size with italics is a clear indication of your anger!Originally Posted by Nalrok_AthZim
That's the thing, Boss: I'm still not mad. Surprised, amazed, blown away-- but not mad. I'm just genuinely caught off guard that someone would say something that ignorant about something so trivial and mean it.
EDIT: And you're right. Whats-his-name has managed to completely marginalize an actual, real problem some people actually have. For what, to bug people to play with him more? -
Quote:I team up quite often. I'm always joining TF and Trial PUGs. But I also play solo quite often.Originally Posted by PleaseRecycle
This particular beehive seems to have major issues understanding the difference between "I think some of you people should try teaming now and again because it looks like you never have before" and "I think none of you should ever be allowed to solo again."
What I don't like is other people telling me what to do. Especially when it's none of their danged business. As my sister always like to say: "You want to live my life? Then pay my rent!" -
Quote:So when the guilt-tripping doesn't work, you question the sanity of the solo players. Interesting move. Surely, we must be crazy to not want to play with you. That simply must be the case!Originally Posted by PleaseRecycle
The sort of answer that leads me to believe some of you may be displaying signs of antisocial personality disorder. You're getting mad about the idea not of someone impinging on your soloing, but about the idea that they might want to. And you're not the only one.
I say though, what is this constant need you have to want to force strangers into playing with you all the time? Some sort of hypersocial disorder perhaps? Attempting backwards connections on people you don't even know? Very interesting, indeed. -
Quote:If you're gonna disturb a beehive, don't be surprised if you get stung.Originally Posted by PleaseRecycle
I'd find that much easier to believe had the topic not been "best ways to avoid as many people as possible" before I ruined everything with my uncouth demands that everyone always team with everyone.

Quote:It wasn't jerkish at all. I have no idea what that other guy is smoking.Originally Posted by MrCaptainMan
I must be insanely unaware, because I can't see anything particularly wrong or rude or jerkish at all with that reply.
Besides, it's the ones insisting us solo players (who aren't bothering anyone at all and just minding our own business) that we have to let them join us or else who are the selfish ones! They're just using their own propaganda spin to try and guilt us into letting them in; it's another one of their underhanded tactics. -
Quote:He's gonna force you to hug him whether you want to or not. It's for your own good, you know!!!Originally Posted by Bright
That's... a pretty big assumption you're making there, PR. How do you know we'd have any fun with the random person around? It could just as easily turn out to be awful. o_0

Quote:This has been my experience as well, and my home server is also Virtue.Originally Posted by Organica
I've never been on hide even once. I don't get a lot of requests or blind invites on Virtue anyway, but if I do a simple, "No thanks" works most of the time. No need to try and justify it beyond that.
As well, I have to say that I think it's these people bugging others to join a team and not taking "no" for an answer who are the selfish ones, insisting we do things their way and on their terms. As most solo players are splitting their time between the game and other things, well that's just being conscientious of others who, if they were teaming with you at that moment, would have to wait for you to come back each and every time. Of course, that would be rude, so that's why we play solo! -
Quote:Here's a wacky idea. If you pester some stranger to join them and they tell you they're soloing, why not just leave them alone and find someone else to play with?Originally Posted by PleaseRecycle
Here's a wacky idea, if someone sends a tell asking to join up with you, why not invite them?

But do you fear that it might be slipping away?

Quote:I have to admit that for my bots/traps mastermind, it's caltrops + poison trap all the way! And in larger, bigger battles, also acid mortar. All those powers are not interruptable and so they can be deployed in the middle of battle. With the bots on guardian mode, I taunt a mob to attack me. Only when they're in close in do I bother setting down my traps. I suppose I could set down a bunch of trip mines before I go a-taunting, but there's usually no point as they fall down pretty quickly anyway.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I ran an ITF with my Bots/Traps Mastermind just now, not half an hour ago, and the lesson was pretty clear - while I faffed about setting down a Triage Beacon that no-one really needed, the team had already wiped the spawn out and were moving to the next, leaving my beacon exposed. Expecting a Cyst ambush, I'd go back to set up a single mine, only for the ambush to spawn around me mid-way through my set-up animation and instakill me. I'd set up an Acid Mortar only for the fight to move around the corner and leave it useless.

Quote:That just ensures that at least a tiny part of your organic body is present at the time of authentication. It's still possible that you are unconscious, some of your blood has been stolen, or else you've been possessed or otherwise mindjacked by supernatural or technological means. This method is also useless if you're a cyborg or an android.Originally Posted by Mr_Morbid
Those authenticators are generally just little doo-dads to make you feel more secure. What we really need are authenticators that jab your finger for a tiny bit of blood and run a DNA scan before allowing you to log on. If you have an evil twin this won't be much use, but it's surefire for the rest of us.

I keep saying this whenever it comes up...
1) The Shadow Shard should be opened up to villains.
2) There could be at least a single co-op zone.
3) There could also be at least a single PvP zone.
Villains should enter from their own zone, separate from the current hero zones. I really like that idea of the villains entering from a floating carrier with massive turrets on it!
There should be an Incarnate related zone that directly involves Rularuu somehow. Probably co-op.
There should be another zone directly involving Nemesis and his secret base there, whether that's co-op or PvP.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and maybe some of that PvP could also be Incarnate related. As in, you can only enter those zones if you've earned your slots. And your Incarnate shifts will activate while inside the zone. -

I think we're having way too much fun at Whats-His-Name's expense, already. I mean, I can understand that causing a racist, misogynist, close-minded fool to foam at the mouth is fun and all (and I speak hypothetically of course; not pointing my finger at anyone here at all, nope!), but at some point it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
Dead fish.
Point blank.
With a bazooka.
