Good to hear that a crazy woman hasn't abducted you and hid you in her basement.

Now that people have had a chance to voice their opinions I'll address a few of the posters. There is an interesting variety of opinions. First thing I want to say is I don't believe that having the star gives you the right to do whatever you want. Having the star does give you the ability to be as nasty as you want. When I lead I consult the team and ask their opinions and after they weigh in we decide what to do. It isn't the best way to lead but at least it is fair.
A good team could have run a Posi in about 1.5 hours. We weren't that good team and ended up completing it at about 3:09. With her contributing over that hour she was gone we likely would have taken off 20 minutes. For the whole TF having all 3 people we likely would have completed it in 2.5 hours. That is about 39 minutes of my time and Sylvar's.
Hyperstrike: I might seem a bit inflexible but I discussed it with Panda before any decision was made after she was gone 40 minutes. Then after an hour passed she was kicked. Saying your coming back to me isn't the right to come back whenever you get around to it. An hour on this Posi was 1/3rd of the TF she was gone and not contributing.
Talon Arsenal: There was no warning of having to go to dinner. From what I gather if it was "a huge family deal" then having to leave wasn't a surprise.
Ynaught: You seem to be having the same problem I had when I was discussing kicking her. I hate kicking people. I have only ever had to kick 2-3 other people in over 5 years. I don't think a reasonable amount of time would have been that bad but to me that time was crossed at the hour mark. If it was a PUG then that reasonable time would have been when Sylvar and I started discussing it at about the 40 min mark. I tend to give more slack when it is a TF.
Critical Kat: I figure if all 3 of us were in the TF we could have done it in 2.5 hours. Of course I can't penalize her for the extra time after kicking her. I can say about 20-25 minutes was added during the Dinner break. Since it was Sylvar's time as well we discussed it before any decision was made.
Force: The reason for posting this is feedback. I don't want to automatically think that my decision was the best because I think it was. I have no problem if real life strikes. If there was a problem that forces the issue then you have to take care of real life first. The 2 biggest things that weighed in was the person knowing before they joined they would be gone a long time and the length of time seemed excessive. I try and conduct myself pretty well because as you say because I value my reputation. That doesn't necessarily mean I expect everyone to agree with me but I'm hoping I've at least earned their respect.
4shes: I did screw up here. I should have had the discussion in team chat before kicking. The tells wasn't me having the need to have the last word. Sylvar and I were in a room full of CoT and I wasn't able to type as well as I would have liked when trying to stay alive and type a tell at the same time. If it was during a more restful time I would have said something along the lines of "Sylvar and I talked after you were gone for about 40 minutes. If you had of been back sooner you would have gotten some slack. Being gone for over an hour is too long to be gone." Unfortunately I have to go with what I was able to say rather then what I would have liked to say. There was no discussion so that is my fault there.
Critical Kat: I did screw up by not talking before the kick.
Thank you all for your opinions. I appreciate the responses because it gives me a better perspective on if I was out of line and opinions on what I should have done. Not wanting to have to decide if someone should be kicked and deciding who I trust to contribute to the TF is a large reason I avoid the star. Not that I can't be the bad guy. I just prefer to be the blood crazed scrapper killing things.
-
Time to rant a tad. I generally avoid this a bit but what the hell might as well. I was starting a Posi TF. There was nearly no interest in the TF on the channels I frequent. BMT, BOSS, Pingus, UHB Network, and Alliance were remarkably silent.
There was only one other person Sylvar Panda. He was running an WP/SS and I had my Inv/EM. This was already looking to be pretty tedious to begin with since he had no AoEs or Stamina and I didn't have Whirling Hands in my build until about lvl 30. There was another person there so I figured I'd ask since a lvl 49 generally isn't hanging around Valk. I will not name the person or the server we were on.
11-25-2009 20:49:20 -->: interested in Posi?
11-25-2009 20:49:23 : sure
We started since we were lucky to have 3. She was running an Inv/EM so long story short no AoEs 1/3 with Stamina and a bunch of kill alls. Since we were running all tanks there wasn't really a question of if we could complete it. The only question was on which day it be on.
The question in person left for supper at 21:51 which was 9:51 my time. I asked if she was coming back and she said she would be back as soon as she was done. I kinda shrugged my shoulders on this. Isn't the first time a person was having supper and logged out and came back during a TF. I noted this in team chat with Sylvar and we proceeded to grind the TF including the kill alls and the blitz bad guy and minions missions.
After about 40 minutes I talked with Silvar and asked about kicking her if she came back. He didn't think she was coming back. I was kind of expecting a return since the person logged out as opposed to quitting. She came back at 10:55. She said she was on her way to the mission and I just kicked her. Next came a few tells.
11-25-2009 22:55:41 : what was that for? i came back, i was on my way to the mish..
11-25-2009 22:55:54 -->: You were gone ove an hour
11-25-2009 22:56:30 : i told you i had to eat dinner. i live with my boyfriend and they make it a huge family deal..well im sorry i told you i didnt know how long id be gone.
11-25-2009 22:57:10 -->: Not a problem. That is why we gave you time.
11-25-2009 22:57:48 : k. peace
11-25-2009 22:58:43 -->: peace. If it was less then an hour you would have gotten some slack.
11-25-2009 22:58:58 : sorry i cant send tells through my mind and let you know whats going on
Normally I'd cut someone some slack but this seemed like the ole "I'll log off for half a TF and log back in to collect the merits and badge" trick. Sylvar and I finished the Posi in just over 3 hours. Personally my opinion is if you have to go AFK or log you should be back as soon as possible and over an hour did not seem like any effort was put into helping us. -

Quote:I got a recharge of 14.8 for rain of arrows. That was pretty much the max I could get on my 1st attempt. I'm going to rethink a few powers though.......Originally Posted by Donna_
I have been able to make a build that gives me 200% recharge and Rain of arrows every 15.4 seconds, I was wondering if anyone is able to top this and if so please post the mids link so I can see if there is anything that I haven't taken into consideration.
Thanks,
Donna.
The only way I could get more recharge is if I tossed away LRM and replaced it with Grant Invs 6 slotted. IMHO 5% more recharge isn't worth tossing an enhanced LRM. That gets it down to 14.6%. I can't see .2% being worth it.

Quote:-There are a lot of RPers here. However there are also a lot of people that just have fun in whatever hero/villian persona they are running. Most people on Virtue would be too imaginative to have a chr named Darth Gokuverine.Originally Posted by NuclearCowboy
-Is Virtue mostly Role-players? I want to give RP a try as I've never attempted it on any other games. RP sounds like it would be fun if no other reason than it would be different, and would hopefully be devoid of running into too many toons named DarthGokuverine.
-Is Virtue full of elitist cliques? All of my main toons are on Freedom and I have had difficulty in the past trying to find an SG where I thought I fit in. Freedom is sometimes too crowded and all the competent players stick to themselves leaving PuGs (what i find myself in most of the time) to be wrought with frustration.
-There are elitist cliques but Virtue is generally pretty laid back welcoming PUGs of all types. -
Mission Arc: 307182
Description:
Are you tired of saving the world? Have you beaten up Positron and Synapse for making you do their taskforces? Well now it is time for you to be in the movies. Since you are a former hero and cant act the only parts you can get are poorly written B movies.
Mission Contact: Ghost Falcon
Hi! Do you remember me? If someone wanted enhancements I'd get them to kill a bunch of Rikti. No one comes to see me anymore. Now heroes go to the RWZ or Cimerora. Like other retired heroes I decided to become a Hollywood agent. The hours are easier and I dont get shot at that often.
If anyone remembers doing my first Arc "Felinewoman 2" I recycled the large breasted prison guards for large breasted amazon women in mission 1. I believe in continuity and consistency in my created chrs. I'm sure the fact that they have the breast slider maxed is purely coincidental.

I actually doubt this. No offense to Ping nor his ability to make money, but that's just how bad the exchange rate is. (2 billion inf = 4 million prestige or a 500:1 ratio)

Quote:So your self congratulatory post getting mocked by people is fun?Originally Posted by XxBudweiser8xX
EPIC LOLZ.... this is as perfect and fun as I hoped it would be
Personally I must admit I do take some amusement in the post. Bragging about beating a SG Lord Striker looted and left for dead. Meanwhile Strwhyker is on Virtue spending time at Pocket D telling people how his SG was mega leet all because of him. I might be missing something here but it is like saying you out ran a horse that died. Sure you out ran the horse but it stopped moving. A snail with ADD would beat that horse in a race too.
I preferred to make light of the "accomplishment" because it means nothing of any value. In the old days it might have meant you can have the most expensive and fully developed base on the server. Now it is like saying you have a Toyota which you spent 7.9 million on.
If Ping wanted he could convert his influence to Prestige and dbl the total of both Stryke Force and PoN and have enough left over to have UHB beat too. Thing is Ping isn't concentrating on an imaginary accomplishment. The bases are equipped and stylish so why do they need 50 billion extra influence? That is the difference between a guy that HAS accomplished something and a guy that THINKS he has accomplished something. The good leaders actually do things for their SG while the bad leaders set up accomplishments that do nothing for their SG members.
If you want to be congratulated then you need to do something beyond power levelling a few hundred people and killing 17 billion slammers over and over again. Maybe you can create the first Cat toon on Champion without the breast slider maxed out. That isn't much of an accomplishment either but it isn't someone did several times before you.
-
Quote:There is nothing wrong with taking pride in an accomplishment. The thing is Prestige is not an accomplishment. It only requires farming and PLing. Think on it a minute. You are celebrating something based on 2 things that do not require people to play the game. I have actually seen people being leveled while at work. The only leveling that takes less effort is Eve.Originally Posted by SonicBang
what im saying is...your not funny...and theres nothing wrong with wanting to brag about having top prestige.
If I wanted to get top prestige I'd do it like this. Get 20 or so guys that can solo maps full of bad guys. Have each one draft 7 members and PL them in AE. What did I do that was an accomplishment? Taught 7 new people to stand by a door so I can get prestige? 140 people doing nothing for each other while 20 people grind prestige. If that is the definition of accomplishment then yay me but I'd rather have fun.
That being said it is nice to have goals and a SG willing to help you to achieve them. Farming prestige to be better then a SG where the leader looted it and left it for dead?! That isn't a high goal. The SGs I have been have had more of a focus on teamwork and helping it's members to be better players and enjoy themselves. Some of the SGs have not been in any of these top 5 prestige lists. However they are fun and we are friend not only in game but out of the game as well. -
Most people consider being better then Stryke Force not to be that impressive but I applaud the effort in congratulating yourself. I hope your arm isn't sore twisting so far patting yourself on the back for such a lofty achievement.
Congratulations you are now better then Stryke Force.
Hmmmmm I wonder if that is how the concept "Smarter then a 5th grader" was conceived...... -
I had a choice between MA Monday and a Hammi Raid. I opted for MA Monday because it is always great when you have players run the arcs you put so much effort into creating. Though I have noticed a few things that crop up that are correctable.
Custom Bios being blank: Creating bios for custom chrs should be mandatory. After spending all the time in the custom creator creating the hero/villian you want the plot to be around you can't spare a few lines to say more then Lieutenants are tougher then Minions? Adds a lot to the arcs.
Bare bones text: I know that there are people that skim the mission text but there should be something more then. "I need you to go kill Mr. Cuddlesworth." Doesn't have to be war and peace but give us something here.
Though even the worst MA arc I've been on has been better written then the new Kahn TF.
Yeah I went there.
