Ice Knight

Congratulations!!

Happy Birthday MP!!!

Thanks for everything Z. I hope to see you in another game, or by some miracle back in the City of Community in an official capacity. May your travels be fruitful and your path without obstacle. I wish you the best.

The Safe Rock or on the hill setting up for hammi, or in the bowl. I also have alot of memories from the old Paragon Dance Party.

I am glad you guys found a way around this. Unfortunately I already have all the boxes on my main account which its VIP ends tomorrow.

You guys are awesome. One hell of a community. I will try to catch the next donation as it was done before I got home

Absolutely wonderful, That made me smile and say amazing

I really do not know. I have considered not going to another MMO. However thats probably the hurt speaking. I have always had 1 or 2 MMO's that I use for burnout prevention. I have a STO account, I have a TOR account I have a DCUO account and I even have my Istaria (Horizons) account. Granted the STO account is the only active one currently. To be honest those games were not intended to be main games for me. TOR could be but I do not know. I will have to look it over again. I may just wait for the next big thing or see were the Paragon dev's go. I guess its more a wait and see approach.

I have not always agreed with every change you and the team have made, you always did a wonderful job explaining the change and while that didn't make the change any better I atleast had a better understanding of why the change was needed. In the end though you guys made alot more changes for the better in my eyes. However this isnt about the past.


I can say this without a doubt, whatever game you go to, if you are in a leadership capacity, I will be there. I have been here for 8 years, I had hoped to be here for another 8 years but that seems far more unlikely after Friday. I have hope, but I will not blind myself to the current reality. Your efforts have always been appreciated by myself and I am sure by the majority of the community. I wish you the best and hope you have an opportunity to build something so wonderful as this game again.

TANKER GUIDES


This thread is for posting Guide or FAQ links for Tankers. Please create your guides in the "Player Guides" forum (since posts in that section do not roll off) and link the thread here. Also, do not post your guide in this thread - only the link to your guide. For non-Tanker guides, check the master list of all Guides in the Guide to Guides.

Guides appearing here were gleaned from links posted in one of the "Guide to Guides" threads (the Tanker Guide Thread or the Guide to Guides thread in the "Player Guides" forum). Chriffer sifted through the hundreds of individual threads to find the postings. In the future be sure to 1) place your guide in the "Player Guides" forum, nowhere else and 2) post a link to it in a "Guide to Guides" thread to make things work smoothly.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their guides over the years. You all are truly awesome.

This news has been very devastating. This has become more then a game to me. While I have not regularly posted in the Tanker forums in years I have always been reading. Its been a honor to know you all.

Tanking for me has always been an artform. I have 14 level 50 tankers. Its my favorite AT. I am going to miss it very much and of course my main, Ice Knight One of the original 2 level 50 Inv/Ice Melee Tankers. The other Inv/Ice is Golden Ace, I hope he is still around.


Much love everyone.


Ice

Hi Everyone,

This news has been hard on us all. I wanted to start a thread to post screenshots of COH memories.

TJ, you are a cool guy. I always respected your opinions and thoughts. When I think of Justice, I think of specific people you are always high on this list. I am going to miss this virtual place we call home. At some point I am going to post something but I cannot put my feelings into words right now. Be well TJ

I will be there

I am completely opposite to the OP. I use SS and CJ on every character. Its absolutely viable. As for the -threat, its really a non issue and SS is not needed to be kept on in a fight, just use it to move quickly in between groups. Its been my experience in I Trials that keeping everyone in a league on the same groups is very rare as there are always multiple directions to go. Its more a free for all with the exception of the end, when tanker strategy actually is used.

This was a wonderful gathering and alot of people I have not seen in a long time. This was a great way to pay respects to Lucas. After the vigil we went to Warburg. Alot of fun and alot of memories. I really miss those nights. Thanks everyone.

Will be updating the guides in a few days. If you have a guide not on the list please post a link,

Thank you

I didn't know Lucas as well as alot of you do. What I do know is that I enjoyed his posts on these forums, many time they would brighten my day and make me laugh. His banter ingame was always fun. Most of all though I will remember the PvP. He used to come to Midnight PvP and the tournaments that used to happen. He was alot of fun to be around and fun to fight against. Those are the memories I have and when I think about them I smile. Eventhough I am deeply saddened about his passing, I will reflect on the good times. I hope that those of you in grief will take time to remember the good times because in the end, memories are all we have. My deepest condolences to his friends and family. May Lucas rest in peace.

I will be there.

We have had a bunch of great entries in the submission thread. I hope to see many more in in the final week of the contest.

Alot of great entries in the submission thread. 1 week left in the contest, I hope to see many more awesome costumes.
