If I don't post to this thread tomorrow consider my spot free. My account expires sometime today, and I'm relying on PayPal to make my payment automatically (I'm set to automatically renew at 12+2 months).

That Friday start is a little iffy. If it was delayed by 15mins it'd be much easier for me to make it. It's a little after dinnertime here for the start, but sometimes we eat dinner a little late.

I am not slotted with IOs on my Warshade. I do have my alpha slotted with just a basic cardiac.

Boy howdy, what a rootin' tootin' hootin' hollerin' time!

Stalker from 42-50. That was my goal. I hit it on Saturday. Also got an Apocalypse Proc IO recipe, sold it on the market for 350mil on this guy.
New Blaster 1-7. Didn't play him that much.
Spines/fire scrapper, 40-41. Did it during a Manticore TF.
Claws/SR scrapper, 29-31. Again, a different Manticore TF.

My most important accomplishment was that I did not burn myself out this time. Last time during double XP, I didn't want to play the game for about a month afterwards.

Congratulations on your first 50!

I read somewhere that Issue 588 of the Fantastic Four is going to be the last issue, and that they're exploring other avenues. I don't see them skipping 12 issues.

Could be fun.
Sign me up. Clk'whrr, warshade, villain.

*sets up the double experience*
You forgot this. Just because it'll end during Monday Maintenance doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Oh great. My rogues won't get any xp...

Not that villain ATs are not restricted to just the Isles, I imagine some have moved to Paragon completely or went rogue.

There ARE pure rogue isles characters out there, but there's a vast higher majority of characters who are in the shades of grey or hero only. Sorry, that's life.

*enters the Rookery and turns on the chefbots and starts the coffee*
Okay folks, Muffins are on special all day today!

My account expires on Feb 1, and I'm set up for a payment of 12+2 months right now since I set that for my subscription plan. Will I be exempt from this offer since I may not have an account for a little time during the promotion (like, maybe a couple of hours), or will I be fine?

We'll miss you, Ocho

Alright. Everybody up. This is a stick-down. I'll give you all your money.

*turns on the coffee and the chefbots*
Last couple of days I'd be going to sleep in an hour. This time I woke up an hour ago...

I like how Steam has all their sales right now. Good games for cheap

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope to see you all continue to play this game into the new year!

Airing of grievances?
I have a lot of problems with you people!

When are the feats of strength?

So long Castle. We'll miss you.

We had it today. I saw it at it's absolute midpoint. It's also officially winter now.

A meter that you, and only you can see is acceptable. As long as it doesn't carry over into everyone seeing it, and that it's optional. As long as it's transparent and I can still play the game.

The way of making it a team only thing I think is a bad idea. The people on a team could figure out their DPS beforehand, then when you join if you're not pulling their weight, off the team you go. It's just going to lead to drama.

*stumbles in*
Got my last final in about 1h40m. Then I'm FREE, at least until January 10th, when I return to classes.

Cool! I'll need to bring my Stone/Axe tanker out for one of these.

Yesterday I had a final. It was bad, I think I barely passed if I passed at all. Today I had another final. It was pretty good, I didn't know a couple of the answers. Tomorrow I have a final again, and this one is more along the lines of what I learned rather than requiring straight answers. I could answer something different from someone else and still get full marks.

For this game a DPS meter would absolutely kill it. GL getting a team if you're not all purpled up. Enjoy doing stuff solo because you're not 'uber'. Even if you're a debuffer or a buffer you'd not get teams because your DPS is in the lower part of the game. I play because it's fun, and if I got kicked from teams for not doing 'optimal' DPS, then something's wrong. Heck, I use my most powerful moves sometimes on minions with 10% health. Why? Because it's cool. Nothing like using Eagle's Claw on a Rikti Monkey

Depends on my view for the character. Some characters, like my Warshade, will use the excuse for an incarnate as actually becoming part Incarnate as it's a new source of power for her. Other characters I may bring through that storyarc will mostly be extracting some hidden powers that were latent inside them and have just started to emerge. Even others will just go through the arc and that's it. They won't be an incarnate at all.

Otherside of the fence is that I don't consider IOs IC. There is absolutely no content in the game that requires you to have IOs slotted. It may make it easier, but it's not forced, unlike Incarnates. You need to be an incarnate to do the Tin Mage or Apex Taskforce, and if the alpha is slotted it makes it easier. Nothing requires you to be all invention origin'd out. Heck, I have a few characters that are levelling on just SOs, because they do the job.
