    mine just says 'Thinking...' . This way if it takes a few before someone gets a reply, they know i'm not ignoring them, or typing an answer.

    Corruptor: Desirability high, usefulness medium. You bring buffs and healing which are often asked for. Your damage is nothing special although fire and archery are good AoE and useful.

    Defender: Desirability high, usefulness medium. You bring buffs and healing which are often asked for. Your damage is nothing special although fire and archery are good AoE and useful.

    Peacebringer: Desirability low, usefulness varies. No one knows what you can do until you do it. You might tank, you might have good AoE, you might be useless.

    Warshade: Desirability low, usefulness varies. No one knows what you can do until you do it. You might tank, you might have good AoE, you might be useless.

    Incarnate Powers:
    With Incarnate powers, there is so much AoE that AT's providing it are no longer useful. Only single target damage AT's are important

    Scrapper: Desirability low, usefulness low. You bring damage which everyone does. Unless you are fire, electric or spines, you are single target and not very useful. Exception: vs AV's your high single target damage is desired.
    Contradicting himself in one simple sentence..meaning he has no clue what he is talking about.
  5. *Load handgun, give to NecroOmNomNomicon.*

    Here, u know what to do with it.
  6. Glad you guys are listening to the player base about the Dev held CC's only on the VIP server.

    I hope that this is also the start of some kind of server rotation, and that all servers will have a Dev held CC at one point.

    This will bring the community closer together.
    Free players see that the Devs also care about them, and the VIPs on other servers will feel like real VIPs, not just some outcasted paying players because they refuse to leave the server they call home.

    THANK YOU DEVS!

    Also..I LOVE how it started out (the thread) with Dug saying Veats were not wanted and useless, because no one understands their buffs. But after being roundly shouted down by everyone, he claims that HE knows how great veats can be, but apparently, no one else does, hence, they suck. Ok then.
    he was the last to take the VEAT corner :P

    I think VEATs are not common cause they are hard to set up..
    What do people want? MM Crab? Buff Crab? Stalking Bane? Hunstman?
    I just say when they ask me for my AT that i'm a Blapping Cranker (Blaster/Scrapper Crab/Tank/Defender). I'm a real Jack of ALL trades, master of nothing, i can switch my style to what ever the team needs.
    It took me about 1.5 years straight, neglecting my other toons, having a 26Bill build to get where i am now. And unless u really know what u want from a VEAT, it's hard to make a solid one.
    Since i have been on Neph for so long, people see what they can do, and start to make one.
    Several times people told me that i inspired them to make a VEAT, and i'm humbled and honored every time i hear that.
    It's not cause my toon is uber this or uber that.. it's cause i know my toon inside out, and know how to use it.. and THAT, is the main part with playing.. Knowing how to use your toon to the best of it's capabilities depending on how you have made it (Power choices and slotting).

    Of course that is simply stupid, and pretending that it is so does not make you wise or knowledgeable.

    There is no way that a scrapper is as useful on a team as a defender or corruptor, unless the defender or cor are incredibly incompetent. I know scrappers do not like to hear that. They like to think that everyone is thrilled when a scrapper joins the team, but in fact they are just filler.

    If you disagree with me, list in order the usefulness of AT's on a team. If you say they are all equally useful, you are either delusional or lying.
    Most useful on a team? Competent players!

    I ratehr take a good player on a crappy toon, than a crappy player on a great toon.

    People who know me, know i love my VEAT, i have little to no understanding about playing scrappers, Fenders, doms and such... well, i know how to play my lead tank, that's basically it.

    To say Scrappers are fillers on a team, is just being ignorant, or maybe you have some twisted humor to have us go berserk about your comments, idk, i don't care either.

    AT's and powersets are just a small piece of the whole pie.
    I'll show you the whole pie:
    -AT
    -Powerset
    -Slotting
    -Play Style
    -Player

    These are important to see how good the toon is, one is just as important as the other. The more pices of that pie u have, the better the toon will be on your team.


    But, with all honesty, u lost all credibility when u opened with VEATs being next to worthless. Come join us on an all VEAT ITF. Widows, banes, Fortunatas, Night Widows, Crabs and even Hunstman.. either combination of those, and a full team.. will be one hell of a ride.

    Buffs that people not recognize?
    Dual leadership pools aka, dual Tactic, dual Damage buff and dual Maneuvers.
    Yeah, so not useful.. LMAO.
    Oh, don't forget about Venom Grenade, Suppression, Longfang, Channel Gun, Arm Lash and Omega Maneuver. Most of the Crab powers debuff defense.

    Come to Guardian server, join an Incarnate trial with a Crab named Nephila, you'll change your view.
  10. To show there are people who do care, and mistakes like this happens:

    Several weeks ago i placed something on WW, someone bought it for 80+mill, that is 75mill more than the I/O was worth and listed for. I send out shout outs in all channels i had, trying to find the person who made the mistake, to give him his inf back.
    Friends told me WW was game wide, not server wide, so i hope i can find that person now. I felt so bad i didn't even claim it till last week.

    I will leave some details out, so i can be sure who it was:

    I/O was a Doc Wounds, several weeks ago.
    If u PM me with more details and it is honestly you, i'll mail u your inf back.

    If anyone from the L.A. Area is driving there, and doesn't mind a road companion, send me a tell please.
    Willing to split the costs for driving there and back.





    Plus a "putting up with Nephila for several hours in a car." bonus :P

But when all of this comes to a close, he can't just be hanging around giving out his arc with passing villains patting him on the back and saying "better luck next time".
    We'll kill wade and either get the power, or give States his powers back.

    PS: Samaraiko, that vid u made brought more honor to States than what the Dev did.
    PPS: It would be fitting if this became a public funeral, held on each server, not just the VIP server.
    PPPS: Could this funeral be the way Stefan is redeemed?
  16. 1st thing i did after i completed the SSA#5 was head to IP.

    Either he'll be back in SSA7 at full strength, or your Phasing Tech is malfunctioning.

    Cause with all honesty, if you do something this epic, shaking up the game like THIS, better do it right the 1st time. Have it get dragged out months before you guys are done with phasing him out looks like you guys are waaaay behind on schedule, or that this was a last minute effort to shake up the game.
    Looked to me and others that someone else who would be easier to take out the game was going to die, and if it really is Statesman, i wonder why you guys haven't finished it up before SSA5 came out.
    I hope, and assume, that you guys planned the whole story line before even starting to create SSA1, cause if you are just creating a new SSA each month without knowing the full story i'd say you guys are wasting valuable resources.

    PS: Yes, i HATED it with a passion that this was leaked! Almost made me not wanna play this. But Zwill was leaning on how he died, that that would be spectacular..and it wasn't, not imo.
    It wasn't a honorable death for the most iconic hero in the game, it was more like a big Fa-Q to Jack.

    I did have a convo ingame saying that 'Hacked Teleporter' could mean red/blue beacons in zone and that they could merge both sides to fight Praetoria.
    Looking at the SuperPack cards, the hero and villain logo are made one

    And if it takes SO long to remove states, why kill him? Why not start the removal months back, when the SSA started? I'm not saying it is easy, but having him STILL in game is just lame.

  19. I'm really starting to do a 180 on the SSA arc.

    I used to think they were nice, well written and was all for it.
    Since the announcement came of Statesman's death, i've been less thrilled.
    Did blue side, and yeah, very , and i mean VERY disappointing.

    -Setting looks nice, clues gave it away that it would be where it happened, but in the present time line, that threw me off.
    -The action? bleh, i've seen kids do more in 5 minutes than i did in these 20 minutes.

    But i know what u wanna know, and i'll give my two cents.
    The killing Scene:
    Granted the setting/zone was where i thought it would be, but i was missing something very big in there too. (think SSA#1)
    Scene itself was kinda ok, reason i was not impressed, see above remark.

    Overall impression:
    4 out of 10 stars.
    Most impressive was the final room of the zone i found the clues in.

    you can have as many open as you want.. As long as your computer can handle it and you have accounts to be opened.
  24. Out of respect for the mission holder, i always ask the deal about glowies.
    Some, like me, don't care, u see a glowie just click it.
    There are others who do care, and that is fine. We have to team up and interact with each other, so we have to be considerate of each other and respect the others play style and wishes.

    I always say that the leader leads, and i follow. Even when i don't like his tactic, and even when i know the tactic won't work, i let the leader play it out.
    A good friend of mine in game has a weird tactic on several trails, i don't like the tactic, at all, but it'll get the job done if people pay attention. He knows i hate it, but he also knows i'll enforce his tactic to others because i know it should work.
    However, when things start to fall apart, i'll open my mouth to the leader with a few suggestions in a tell to him/her.
    I'm pretty well known on my home server on my Crab Spider, and a lot of the times they ask me for advice anyways.

    IMO, it's all about respecting the other players leadership style. If we do that, more than likely they'll respect your style too and will follow that when you are leading.
  25. tried the /r with a free player yesterday, still working!

    And yes, if people add someone to a global friends list, that should be reason enough to open the Tell feature to them.

    Adding as a regular friend is easy, at least a global request has to be approved by both parties involved. That way free/premium/VIP can talk to their free/premium/VIP global friends.

    Heads up Devs, NOT all Free players are total nitwits!
    Sure we'll get the occasional Pl00b, AcPl00b, WooB and RMT'er, but the good new players far outweigh this suggestion i made.
