Very funny.

Quote:Word of advice; DarkVanessa's artwork speaks for it's self. Her prices are quite reasonable for art of this quality. Her pace, on the other hand, is considerably slower than average. Seriously, she's REALLY slow. If you have the patience, I would recommend working with her. If you're hoping to get the artwork with in 2 months, I would not.Originally Posted by Caemgen
tempted to jump on one of her commission deals myself ... -

This should be the last of the DarkVanessa artworks. I basically requested it be a classic pin up pose and this is what she came up with. I really like DarkVanessa's style though I can't make up my mind if she gets the concept of incidental beauty. Looks damned sexy though. -
I miss the old RPing days...

Happy Birthday Sarrate.
I was gonna grant you the ability to divide by zero...but that didn't work out so good. The TARDIS must be out of range. In the mean time, this will have to do:

OOOPS!! Sorry, I forgot to post this
This is not what I would consider the most endurance friendly build, but it's quite manageable. In this build, greater emphasis was placed in positional defense bonuses. The empty slot in Tough is supposed to house the PvP + defense IO.
Again, I'm not actively playing CoH so I might not be completely up to date on IO choices. It's entirely possible there is a better way to achieve these aims in today's game. It is unlikely I will review this or any of my DA builds until after Going Rogue.

News sourceQuote:Mister Squiggles, the light-brown version of the hamsters, has unsafe levels of antimony, said Dara O'Rourke, co-founder of GoodGuide.
The chemical can cause cancer, lung and heart problems, according to GoodGuide.
"We found levels of about 93 to 106 parts per million," O'Rourke said. "The new federal standard is about 60 parts per million."
Conveniently, the toy manufacturer is denying everything. -
Quote:I have been inactive from CoH for the past few months. Mild case of burn out. I intend to return after Going Rogue. While I will be happy to post my last build once I get home, I cannot speak to how current the build remains.
I read your DM/DA and I love what I see. You are saying that you have done a DB/DA before. Would you be so kind as to show us here or perhaps a link to it so we could see what you have done??
Sorry, but I cannot agree with this statement. Toggle juggling might get you by at early levels but should not be necessary from level 25 on up. It has no place in a final build. If your still juggling toggles at level 50, I'd suggest reviewing your build.Quote:dark armor eats endurance. you'll have to watch and switch on/off toggles throughout most fights. this is true for any primary paired with /DA.

Much as I have my hands full with Aion, I have a very casual eye on Secret World. Ever since the announcement of WoDMMO I've been intrigued with the prospect of the nect MMORPG that could work in a contemporary setting. WoD is barely in the infancy of development, nothing will happen there for at least 5 years.
Secret Worlds on the other and is supposedly due out next year. Ordinarily I would be very excited, but unfortunately the game is being run my Funcom. After my experience with Funcom and their Age of Conan fiasco, SW will have to be one hell of a game for me to give these folks a single cent. Their teasers are very eye catching, but I have yet to see an in game footage. -
I think I'm best know for playing conservatively dressed defenders.
PS: I don't know if I can attend the auction at this time, but I will try, it depends on Aion commitments. My winnings I donate to PERC, so no need for me to collect them. -
Do I need to be present at the time of the auction?

This has kind of become an un-official Victory Art showcase....so the latest addition to my collection...

So like...I'm not playing much CoH at the moment. Been needing a break, kind of burnt out on CoH.
I've been playing Aion for the last month and I'm really loving the game. Why do any of you care...well you probably don't but I wanted to express two things:- 1) I'm keeping up my CoH sub for a number of reasons but a major one is lurking about these are forums ,
- and 2)...I've still go a lot of Desmodas art in the pipeline
Speaking of which, I got this package deal from DarkVanessa over on deviantArt. I can't even give you a link to her DA page because I think it will violate our forums rules...but if you were to stumble across a link on my deviantArt page...you might find a link. As a result, I almost didn't post this pic, but I think it's ok.
Mods, if it's too much just PM me, (don't ban me please)
So my request to Vanessa was to not only capture how beautiful Desmodas is but also how fierce and deadly she could be. This was NOT but what I had in mind...but I kind of liked it. Gonna have to chose my words more carefully in the future...none the less this will likely end up one of my favorites.
For the final DarkVaness piece in the package, I told her to just do a classic pin up. I'm but terrified and eagerly anticipating to see what she comes up with. - 1) I'm keeping up my CoH sub for a number of reasons but a major one is lurking about these are forums
-
I really preferred the weekly threads to these massive diatribes.
Sifting through the drama is bad enough, but going through weeks old drama adds insult to injury. -
Thank you. I've been dealing with this for 3 weeks now...
I knew I should have posted about this sooner
-
I trying to find out if anyone else is having this problem.
There are specific threads on the forums I cannot view when I am logged into the forums. If I log out of the forums, I can view them just fine. Some of these are threads I have already posted in, but I can no longer enter those threads. Other posters continue to post in the threads.
The only consistency to the issue is my log in. I've tried on 2 PCs at work, and 2 PCs at my home. I've tried on Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome; the result is the same everytime.
I've contacted a forum moderator but they don't seem to have any idea what the problem is.
Anyone else having this issue? -
Game Guard was temporarily removed from Aion. The language used in the announcement suggest it may return at a later date.

Cool, I'm Blushield on Israphel
I spent the first 3 days getting our legion set up and my crafting stuff going so I've had little time for anything else. Once our forums are up and running I'll be able to organize more info soon. Up until now, I have not had time to all our CoH friends on Aion.
...basically I've been having too much fun

Happy Birthday, FMP.
I get dibs on spankings

I'm not a fan of Regeneration so I'll recommend Will Power. I think the above posters have covered this.
Claws and Dual Blades are sets where you will want every attack. Depending on your primary, taking every attack may be ill advised. On my my DB/WP, DB/DA, and Claws/DA I took every attack.
I REALLY like Electric Melee but it has some throw away powers, depending on your preference. I found Jacobs Ladder (narrow cone) to be rather "meh" especially when you consider Thunder Strike (AoE) and Chain Induction (ST with random jump). Maybe with a different animation I'd reconsider, but as it stands I'm dropping Jacobs Ladder.
I have absolutely no use for Lightning Clap on a scrapper. Frankly, I can't a imagine a use for it as a Tanker or Brute. Skippable powers on your primary can be viewed as a positive or a negative. Depends on how you build your character. -

I preordered the game and got my box several days ago, along with my preselection serial number. The only issue is the damn thing won't start. It looked like a couple of small updates went through then as the game tries to start I get an error saying it cant reach the patch server. Very frustrating. I've put a message through to support hoping its just a simple fix. I'm dying to give it a go.
Did you use the NCSoft Patcher?
