    I know a lot of students can get discounts from whoever their school has a contract with (example, if I wanted a Dell, I could've gotten a 10-15% discount because my recent school bought all their lab computers from them) so you may look into that as well.

    In regards to that, Most University or college have a campus computer store, these store have educational rebates that most company don't offer online. Check with them since you can usually save around 100 to 500$ on some models. Some also have back to school promotion (Apple i'm looking at you) or bundles.
  2. in pure Pingu tradition... i'll only say this in honor of his birthday : [censored] you
  3. I don't have a build done for brute since I only played Scrapper and tank /WP.

    I could make one tonight and see what I can come up with.
  4. look at today announcement , the bug will be fixed by today's patch.

    Okay, I have to ask this.

    If a fix for the animations was available this quickly, wouldn't it have made more sense to have waited 1 day to release the SuperScience Booster pack without the bugs?

    Yeah, I know people have been whining all over the forums that it isn't available yet, when will it be here, etc. But 1 day to have a fix and it gets pushed out buggy anyway?

    If it was something that was going to take several days, I "might" be able to understand not waiting, but 1 day? Seriously?

    Someone take a pipe wrench and beat the Marketing people over the head repeatedly, please.

    Maybe it's simply because the programmer wasn't able to identify the cause of the bug in time. They decided to publish since the bug is VERY minor and doesn't affect gameplay or anything important in itself. Then the programmer realized the bug was a simple fix that he hadn't thought about and quickly fixed it, tested it and it was released the day after.

    Being a computer tech I know how a simple ; at the end of a line can be missed 20 times before someone sees it. it's called tunnel vision if I remember well, you see the same code so often that you "assume" something is right and you don't actually see the error until you take a break ( 5 min to a couple hours) and when you come back you find the bug and fix it ..... then you think how stupid you were not to have seen it before.
  6. Welcome aboard, leave your sanity outside and enjoy the ride
    lol

    anyway... one thing you need to know if Smash/Lethal resistance is VERY hard to get with IO, simply because there aren't many of them around.

    2nd, with /WP the alpha will often be a problem ut if you can survive it, you'll be laughing your [censored] off while the mob is trying to dent your hp. Personally, I like slotting my /wp with +hp and +regen and then go for +rech.

    You can also look at getting a bit more defense to help with the alpha strike.

    for the rest I can't really help with SS/ , since i'm still lvling my tank and it's only lvl 25.

    New project....

    yeah Tabby told me how you randomly asked her to be part of it. She was both surprised and honored from what she told me

    As for the costume, I haven't done any change to it, I like it too much as is
  8. As I said after, just show up at Imperious and we'll see what we can do . ( this goes for everyone btw since it looks like we might be able to get 2 teams between now and 2x xp weekend.)
  9. make them all blue Mito people will be Stunned so often they won't even be able to leave the zone. they'll be forced to quit lol
  10. Does it really matter? Can we move on please?

    This is looking good. I think if we get enough people to join I might simply ask everyone to rendez-vous near Imperious and we will form teams there. This is still in 3 weeks so more people might want to join.

    I'll ask Cobalt to add it to the BMT MOTD ( that no one reads... I know)
  12. just checked and your right. 2x XP weekend is on the July 31st- August 2nd. thats good, it gives us more time to prepare

    I'll update the OP
  13. thats part of the reason I want to do it see if can get enough Cim killed in Lag Valley to reduce the lag lol

    Current line up

    Just randomly, this isn't conflicting with Cherries hunt the Drop Ships thing is it?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    no Cheery's event is during the rikti raid weekend (this weekend) While the 2x xp is July 31st- August 2nd

    If people wants to join but can't on that specific date, let me know which date you can and we will try to work it out. I'm not working friday during the day so I could do one then also
  16. Yes Yes you did read the title correctly. I want to do an "invincible clear all ITF" and during 2x xp weekend none the less. ( July 31st- August 2nd)

    I've been toying with the idea for some time now but wasn't sure when would be a good time to do it. I figured why not do it when everyone is trying to get as much lvl and inf possible cramed in the lowest amount of time.

    The idea is not to PL anyone, but I am open to having "some" sk. I mainly want to do this for the fun of it and the challenge. Of course the xp/inf that comes with it will be added bonus

    So I want to know who would like to join? I was planning on doing it Saturday night around 8pm EST.

    I would prefer taking my brute or rad but i'll go with what we need. If someone can take a Kin it would make things a lot faster

    If I get a good response from this, we could even make 2 teams or more

    New project....

    I love the idea Darzer.

    and my personal favorite vils will always be the Freaks

    edit: I should probably say this is for Mere Nature.. if you still have her pics.
  18. LOL you know damn well I wasn't talking about
  19. contact support. They are the only one who can help you
  20. I have to admit I liked taunting the mitos... it was something new for me so i'm all up for doing it again ( pending I can make it to the raid)

    And I agree Net did a great job explaining what to do (even if a certain someone seemed more lost than anything. I won't name anyone but anyone on the yellow taunt team will know who )
  21. I think communication would help alot and like Cherry said Squid can't do everything. I saw him direct the Spike team AND he seemed to be part of the assault team. We need someone on the spike team to actually guide their members cause they were running everywhere and getting killed by the AoE.

    For example. on the 3rd run, one of our taunting brute just left so I had to taunt the first and last mito. Not a problem in itself but the range of my taunt prevented me from staying in the same place. I had to move left to right to be able to keep aggro. I kept saying in local to stay away from me cause I was taunting, yet I saw ( and killed) a dozen people easily simply with the AoE blast.

    I think everything that was said here is something to look into. No one is to blame, we had only 38 people, were having problem with a mito being directly in the pet stream way, a small lack of communication and a people not knowing what to do.

    We can compare it to the blue side simply because what we are dealing with now redside was exactly the same as we had to face on blue side when we started them in october/november. We now have a core of "leaders" (main leader, targeter, hami taunt leader, mito taunt leader, spike leader...etc) on blue side who know what they have to do and can react to an error or guide people to the right place. This is what we need to work on first, once we have those people ( it doesn't have to always be the same one), people will be more open to the idea of coming to the raid, knowing that people know what they are doing and that the chance of success is greater than the chance of failure.
  22. first Redside raid for me and I had fun on the taunt team

    If it hadn't been for the lack of EoE i'm sure we could have done it.

    Since the next raid is only in a month, I think it would be a good idea to have more than 1 EoE farm. I didn't even when it was and came to the raid with nothing. Having more than 1 farm will allow more people to get some.

    Html help??

    <font color="336699">

    I am super amazing. The end.

    </font>





    Just change the 336699 to whatever hex color you want. See http://www.w3schools.com/Html/html_colors.asp for a list of values.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    just to add to this, EVERYTHING between <font> and </font> will be the same color.

    If you want to have part of the text one color and another part a different collor ( like highlight) just open a tag for the first color... type your text that you want in that color, close the tag and open a different tag for the second color, type the text and close the tag....

    ex: <font color="336699"> text 1 </font><font color="000000"> text 2 </font>

    If my memory is good you can also use font color= "blue", or any other colors. the Hex code is simply to have different shades or color with no name ( more control over the color you get)

    ***Note that the "Blue" on firefox will not the be same as the "Blue" on IE... for some reason they don't use the same Hex code lol
