I'd like to bring along Norse Code (lvl 11 ice/ice blaster)

Cheers

Congratulations to all. An impressive feat which I one day hope to emulate . At least if this damn baby stops biting my ankle and lets me play

Amidst scenes of jubilation and blatant hiding from battle, Queenie dinged 50 yesterday evening.

Congratulations are due to the scantily clad tanker temptress, who promptly skulked off only to find someone had nicked some of her enhancements from the sg base....

Who now knows which of Enforcers alts will reach 50 next?

Empath in a team made up solely of blasters:

Empath: "OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! Dammit!"

Blasters: "RUN!"

Empath: runs into breach, Rez, "EEEEEEK!" Faceplant. "Um, To Hosp then?"

Blasters: "Noob"



You might struggle to fit that on a t-shirt though, more a story than a motto, but I couldn't resist

For a start, unless you want to solo, (in which case why did you want to be an empath?) why do you want to spend the time and endurance firing off your pitiful attacks when you should be focusing on being a buff/heal-bot

Well, at least a couple of the attack powers in each set *are* useful if your goal is keeping your team alive. Dark is a perfect example - Tenebrous Tentacles, Night Fall and Dark Pit are all AoEs that, even with medium-slotting, will significantly reduce the damage your team is taking. Of course, you have to use them with some care so as not to draw too much aggro, but that's what skill is about, eh?

Fair enough, I'm only an ickle lvl24 . I picked up dark pit at 24 but it isn't slotted so can't really comment. Thanks for the tips on the other two though.

just been on playing my lvl 27 emp/rad

got asked by some random tell " are you a pure empath ?"
i jokingly replied " well you obviosly dont read the froums..but you could say i am"
was then asked did i want a team
i replyed had just joined a mate.. all true

to which he replied "ur loss"

i must be getting more sensitive in my old age

Question is, why was it "Ur loss" if the crazy fool concerned clearly couldnt spell and wouldnt have been any use in a fight with some lvl 1 hellions. Empaths don't need that sort of team.

What I have found in my brief experience, and feel free to contradict me (I know someone will ) is that an empath is completely useless unless backed up by :

a) a good leader with a plan
b) basic teamwork including sticking together

I have found my secondary "blaster" type powers to be pretty redundant (Dark) so far and maxed out on the empath primaries. For a start, unless you want to solo, (in which case why did you want to be an empath?) why do you want to spend the time and endurance firing off your pitiful attacks when you should be focusing on being a buff/heal-bot. I have had a couple of occasions early on in my empaths life when I decided to start attacking the minions around to help speed things along, only to end up running out of end and not being able to heal the poor tanker who was losing hp and berating me for being such a n00b.

Pure for me is all the empath primaries, the leadership powers, stealth so you dont get hit, hover for the same reason, etc etc.

Thankyou very much. She is a beautiful bundle of cuddles and scrudges and I can't wait to create an alt in her honour.

May I be the first (or at least, if not the first, the second, third, ad infinitum) to request a baby size for the character creator? Its plainly obvious that there are plenty of people online who have kids, as I will testify as having teamed with them. If the devs can create a Huge size, why not a "Tiny" size? Look at baby new year! They could always limit the costume options to nappies and sleepsuits (with maybe a cape when you get to lvl 10 (got to be earlier otherwise the babies have to go to bed).

Oh, yes, and I'm so sleep deprived!!!

Welcome to our alternate universe Scotty!

I hope you enjoy yourself as much here as you did in the US. See you around.

I'd like to take part with Arwynne. She's lvl 11, is that ok?

What time were you thinking of starting?

XP? Why would anyone want XP in an RPG? Bah, traditionalists the lot of you! I'm all for remaining at lvl 11 ad infinitum!

Hey, as discussed in the office, I'll bring Arwynne along so nobody can see anything for all the snow storms I'll be throwing out!

See you at 8.30 in Perez.
