Golden Girl

Welcome to the game and the forums

If you need any in-game help, you can contact me on my global chat handle @Golden Girl - I'm on the other side of the moral divide from you, so any help would have to be verbal only

Well done

You'd have to get one other person to join for a few minutes, so they could invite all your avatars - or if you have two accounts and two computers, then you can invite yourself

but if this was a pvp base and had the item of power all the stuff that was demolish during the raid be lost. i can't see how they could keep the upkeep and repair the base at the same time

Okay this is going to be a bit of a rant so bear with me..

Takes deep breath...

I've been playing this game since it launched in the US off and on and I have been through a heck of a lot with my empath defender so I reckon I know pretty well how to best use my powers for the benefit of the team.

I join a team this afternoon run by a defender consisting of, with me two defenders, two brutes and one corrupter. I do what I normally do, apply the old auras, fortitude and adrenaline boost on the brutes. Now this "leader" starts to tell me not to apply fortitude and adrenaline boost to anyone else BUT the brutes - when it is clear they were not burning up endurance yet the corrupter was going through it like there was no tomorrow.

The he starts complaining that I chose powers which in his opinion were a waste of time - I pointed out that I picked powers I wanted for my character and not because they fit into some nice little template.

Then we get on to the age old clear mind issue - I apply clear mind regularly on all team members (a shame they can't do the same to me). I think prevention is better than cure after all. So this "leader" then says "CM FFS its not hard" - because he got held during a battle - it's not like a massive sign goes up over his head and there are lots of other things going on. Most (polite) people get by with a simple zzz to point out they are held or sleeping.

Now I know that on the whole I have had several years of enjoyable times on Defiant but lately I have seen an increase in these players who think that unless you follow the "best" build then you are useless - this "leader" said as much to the team which was dropping like flies because of their attitude.

The "leader" was probably someone who has yet to know what a razor is for - if they think that CoX is simply about using set templates then that's their loss. I like diverse characters - that's why the developers give us choices of powers. If we all played the "best" (in some peoples opinions) powers then the game would be very dull.

Sadly it's players like this that keep me counting the days until I can migrate over to Union where I have seen nothing but helpful players who embrace a diverse set of builds.

There that's better...

Also, for the regsitration form, you might want to change the term "sex archetype" to "avatar archetype" or "toon archetype" - "sex arcehetype" sounded...strange

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks for this, I propose -> 'Sex of the character'. Does it suit or not ?

[/ QUOTE ]

Use the word "gender" instead of "sex" - it sounds better

That should go in a sig somewhere - it has so many layers of meaning

Most of the PvP I do is in the zones rather than the Arena, but I still registered - I like to support anything like this

Second plot size, increasing to the next size up next year

All me

Lots more rooms

Can you describe your ideal base? (if yes, please do )

You mean another server spiked their drinks, as that was the only way they could beat them?

But who won? Did Defiant claim an expected and completely deserved victory, or did come other server scrape a lucky win through underhand tactics?

Well, who won?

You're wrong, you mean?
