Well now I'm tempted to make May Flowers, who will obviously be a Plant Controller.

It's a couple health/sec for my non-Willpower Brute, which is somewhat significant. Thanks to procs and set bonuses, my Shield Brute regens about 30 health/sec, which means less healing needed in combat.

Does she team up with May Flowers?

Yes.

You're better off going to x8 than +4; your pets are going to be 1 or 2 levels lower than you, so the purple patch hits them harder than usual.

But Bots/Traps can definitely handle x8 with no problem. Take Trip Mine at level 35 if you feel things aren't going fast enough, and then start toe-bombing (running into the fray and dropping Trip Mines.)

I'd much prefer the devs stop balancing rewards to punish you for going fast (which also punishes me for going slow, as I get less rewards per time played.)

In this one regard, I really like Apex and Tin Mage. TFs should have a merit-worth based on difficulty, and time should not be a factor in the slightest.

If they didn't balance TF rewards based off your playstyle, I really wouldn't care how you play. How you play, however, directly affects the rewards I get out of Task Forces, which makes it an issue.

You're going to watch the parts where he isn't wearing a shirt with me?

I was always under the impression that CoX sort of was your "work" now, Steelclaw.

A labour of love, obviously, but you seem to approach it a little bit from that standpoint.

If I made the decisions, Mission Fail would equal Task Force Fail. This would serve dual purpose of making the developers carefully consider the challenges presented and the risk of failure, and make players less apt to exploit (and I consider failing a mission purposefully to speed up the task force an exploit) the system for better rewards.

I got a LGTF together Monday night (no one would take me as I was on my Brute, so I had to lead it myself), specifically advertising a "slow run". Everyone seemed to have great fun (in the final room, I charged forward while the Tank was saying "pulling AV", then someone else said "Or we could just aggro the whole room"; things seemed to go pretty well - as I said, "We can take it!" (and we did.)) We rescued Penny, rescued Inferna and Glacia, stomped Hami and stomped Hro'Dotz and Honoree. I couldn't imagine doing things any other way, even though it meant having to endure a two hour play session (I logged off shortly after it finished.)

But I'm a tortoise. Slow and steady is how I go.

Pfft, speak for yourself.

Convince them that you need to upgrade to Windows 7, and that Aero really doesn't run very well without a dedicated graphics card. You can tell them I said so (I'm IT at my work.)

I probably do between 25% and 33% of my playing while at work. I work the help desk, so I often have downtime between calls. When I'm not using the downtime on forums, I'm usually playing games I can step away from on short notice. This is why I a) solo and b) play Tankers, Masterminds, and other "indestructible" characters.

Non-Incarnate Praetorian stuff would qualify under the criteria I set for wanting other information.

"Henceforth" implies the word "from" already; there's no need to add it.

I think I love you guys.

But I like that song.
