Davenport

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to bring this up, but it's been a while since I've been to the forums and I'm all disoriented.

I tried pre-purchasing GR today but when I do, after I enter my card's information and after it asks me to confirm the purchase, it gives me a message that goes something like this:

"We're sorry, but we are unable to accept your order at this time. Please try again later or tomorrow. If you continue to have problems, you may wish to visit one of our retail partners."

I live in New Jersey and I had no problem purchasing the Martial Arts $10.00 booster last night, so I don't see why my region would be a problem, or why they can't accept my order "at this time?"

I would appreciate any help with this-- I'm super-excited to start feeding people lead sandwiches.

But there's no reason a PB with Dwarf form can't tank if you are willing to go a little slower maybe compared to the average tank led team and there were two scrappers for back up? Strange how sometimes teams just don't gel.

It was an all-human Peacebringer.

There are a few Rularuu kill-alls, and those can get a little difficult... Although for the most part, if you have a team that has some experience, it's pretty easy.

There are just a lot of kill-alls and several "simultaneous click" missions, which force you to clear out enemies around multiple glowies.

I think the lack of a Tank is really why we fell apart.
The Tanker on the team provides a point of security and survivability, so it's natural for a semi-conscious team to follow that Tanker, thereby sticking together and giving the team a certain amount of unity it would otherwise not have. Without that cornerstone, the different members of the team can tend to go in their own directions, causing one or two team mates to take on groups of enemies spawned for an 8-man team, and then die pretty quickly while wondering why their team wasn't there to back them up. I've found this to be especially true with pick up groups.

Also, as Drej has said, it didn't help that the kins were not kinning and the emp was not emping.

That was terrible.

Someone said that they had taken a nap, eaten dinner, and walked the dog in the time it took us to finish. I did too, with the exception of walking the dog.

I won't be doing that TF again anytime soon.

I was Polieos, by the way.

Arbiter Davenport (Bane Spider):

The path I travel is a path forged in blood. Mine is the way of strength, power, and glory. I know not defeat, for victory is my mistress. I have destroyed Lord Recluse and felt the glory of his helmet beneath my mace. I have faced down the mighty Statesman on the steps of Atlas Park and overcome the strength of a god. The Freedom Phalanx is all but a stain on the sole of my boot, and the age of heroes is nothing more than a fond memory. I have the will, and I have the power, and nothing will stop me.

Once a king, now but a soul
Lost and left to wander.
Given to darkness was his being,
His blade resigned to ponder.

War and strife and pain and sorrow
Now are his domains.
Once a king, now but a soul,
And darkness through his veins.

Once a king, now but a soul
Of what once was and what used to be.
But not completely of himself,
Under Helm of Immortality.

He has no place, he has no home,
This king now but a soul.
He gave his life and family
To avoid that deathly toll.

And now he wants what isn't his;
What once he gave away.
He longs for death.
To see an end; The night of a too-long day.

So he fights now for what he seeks,
Merciless and without rest.
Smiting semblances of his past.
Those that he detests.

He whets his wit and dons his plate,
Sets his blade to what it loves.
He'll repent and find forgiveness,
If it's the last thing he ever does.

Doesn't seem to want to let me post more than one backstory at a time, so I guess I'll have to post 3 times? Anyway, these are a few of my better ones...

Thanks!

probably been posted before, but i don't have the time right now to look through 20+ pages, so:

Is there going to be any way to purchase/otherwise attain the hardsuit code? Or will this be what we're getting in the Cyborg costume pack thing that was announced with i13?

Thanks

I'm looking for Bulwark, if anyone's got it

Indeed they do, Knight.

Thanks


Oh, and fixed

Thanks all. Starting to see the leg thing more and more.

I'm not surprised, really. I wasn't sure how i wanted to approach the back leg. Foreshortening is usually pretty tough for me, so the other limbs were a challenge enough :P

Grats on the level-up Rox!

Heirloom, my L38 BS/DA Scrapper. Gotta change that sig >_>

Feedback appreciated and encouraged! Thanks!

Ah cool i gotcha.

You're inspiring me to play him more now :P

Thanks

Beginning to think people were purposely avoiding commenting on my stuff. Been pretty barren lately.

I've never read Scirocco's story in detail, but that's cool In case there was any confusion though, he's not a villain. He made some grave mistakes in his past and now he's out to make up for them by doing good deeds.

Wrote a little poem as a backstory for my BS/DA scrapper, Heirloom

Feedback appreciated, thanks

Quite nice there, Davenport. Quite nice indeed. I can't help but chuckle at the way Juggs split that guy's head in the first picture Does that mean there is something wrong with me?

[/ QUOTE ]

Lol, i had actually thought about making the halves bend outwards, but i decided that was a little too brutal, heh.

And thanks Juggs, it's good to be back

_D

Very cool piece. I particularly like the little GI's on the bottom, and the flame effects for the one.

Congrats on the lines and amazing job with the colors,
_D

Link's not working for me :/

_D

Jeez, sounds pretty rough .

Hope you get better soon, man. I think i can speak for everyone when i say you're an inspiration to all us artists here and we wantcha back as soon as your health permits .

Get well soon, Jomaro
_D

Well i don't have confirmation from Juggertha himself, but...

...no, i think it's safe to say he's not much of a hero...




...but, then again...

Lol,

Hah, you'd like that. No way. That requires effort, and that's just something I'm fresh out of at the moment. I'll see about doing another mining expedition to the inspiration grave, but we lost 2 men last time and I think little Jim has the black lung.

Rofl, i gotta use that one sometime.

Here's my hand at it:

Don't Look-- Up?

Hope everything was satisfactory.

A Death in the Family
My long overdue portion of an art trade i did with Juggertha.

Cape Mike
Here y'are, man. Cape Mike was a blast to draw. Hope you like it.

And, last but not least:
Paragon Wonder Update

School and certain things in-game have been gobbling up alot of my time, and i've been working on those other two pieces while simultaneously working on Paragon Wonder.

So, yeah, just an update.

Enjoi!
