I know, wtf.

The two things that kept me busy and here were MMs and building my base.

They're sorry...they invented popular, fun stuff because it was popular so thus, ummmm, distasteful?

And would it kill them to do a Scrapper version? Still waiting for **the** iconic superhero power to come to the max damage melee class...

Also Champions Online, you can start as a technologist, the main pets class, and once you get to a certain level, you can choose any powers from any sets, of course, and bam, you can run around with 12 pets or more.

Only my /thugs can exceed it by pulling Gang War out, and that's just a short period of time.



Plus you get dual machine gun turrets and dual healbot floaters to take care of 'em all, one of the more irritating aspects.

You'll note I back here though more often than not =D

I love that -- ooh, I rolled a Mocking Beratement: 6" Spreading Urine Stain On Pants

I'm always magic, so I always take Blackwand because that's the one that gives the bonus. Then I get the nice rolly thingey as the other choice later.


By the way, you now have to be very careful when picking -- the second choice pops up first in the email list, so you might accidentally pick the wrong first choice. I nearly did this twice.

This. My MM can run 4x8s, I frequently run pretty much everything out in the real world that way. Except for bank missions. Why? Pretty much the same reason I suck at the warehouse part of Lambda. "Plow the road" is fun, but takes freakin' forever.

If you were farming, well, I'm sure people have analyzed the xp rates of +2 vs. +4.

Ooh, the part of love in the field of giant ticks is on. Oh noes! Ani fell! Is he hurt? I hope he isn't hurt!

Cardiac might be of interest for a tank -- it would let them offload some slotting from endurance reduction. I have tier 4 in my MM, and the 45% reduction is a godsend (traps MM, takin' a kneel almost constantly ) because all slotting is oriented around, well, everything useful *except* endurance reduction.

Actually, I was so mad I was planning on doing a report, but fortunately I settled down enough to ask the guy why he kicked me, giving him the benefit of the doubt. That's why I came here to beak off about it instead. He didn't really do anything wrong.

Whether he was doing a "16 man" for lag reasons, or he had a private group of friends, or wanted to feel studly doing it with fewer people, I don't know. Nor do I care -- since he can kick people, there should be better ways to keep unwanted people out in the first place.

If I'm kicked, I have to re-queue. Now *that* is irritating, devs.

Well, part of the wonder of the new system is that you don't have to do this -- this works hand-in-hand with the fact it can take awhile to build up enough people to start a (random, PUG-like) league.

Thus you can run around doing other things -- a solo mission, crafting, AHing, etc. and not just stand there bored while waiting.


The devs can't stop kicking, or else you'd end up with lazy people standing at the entrance waiting for free xp. So they have to be able to kick.

I was already an old hand at gaming when UO and EQ came out. People should be able to create teams, including full leagues, with exactly and only the people they want. Therefore there should be the option to prevent random adds through the LFG mechanism to prevent people like me from getting kicked in the first place.

If I have to wait longer, so be it. I don't want the devs "fixing" my irritation at a long wait by having the game shoehorn me into any league, wanted or not, that's next up for entry.


Let's put it bluntly, ignoring the lazy player issue, I don't think it wise to prevent kicks just so the singletons can "get into a league" on a more timely basis -- and I'm regularly just that kind of player.
