Indiramourning

This one thanks to Pheona:

Legacy chain mobs can be found hero-side in the forest grove in the Southeast corner of the Hollows.

And if you consider all the different ways you can slot and enhance powers to your personal play preferences, i.e. Reduce cool down, increase damage, increase duration (holds, stuns, sleeps, etc.), increase accuracy, reduce endurance cost, etc. I estimate there are over 67,000 completely unique power configurations available.

That means that I can make new unique characters, if I create one a day, for the next 183 years.

And people make comments about how since CoX is a class based game your choices are limited?

One of the best things about CoX is how the generally accepted RPG concept of a Holy Trinity--Tank, Healer, Ranged--team structure really doesn't apply. In fact, supposedly "unbalanced" teams are often more challenging and more fun than "organized" teams.

If I'm on a team and we are standing around waiting for the team leader to "find a healer" it really annoys me. Why? We can do it with this team. We just need to play smart!

When Grant Invisibility is applied to a Tanker his ability to hold agro after he throws the first punch is decreased for the duration of that fight.

Fact: The Grant Invisibility buff bonuses still apply but after he throws the first punch he is just as visible to the mobs as he would be if he had no Grant Invisibility buff on him to begin with.

Indira Mourning was the name of my favorite DAoC character (a Paladin). Our guild was Mourning Star and I was married--in game--to the guild leader, Gonry Mourning, so I took his last name.

DAoC is the first MMORPG that I absolutely fell passionately in love with. Though I had started off playing EQ long before (and AO somewhere inbetween) DAoC and my guild there--who were like family to me--will always have a special place in my heart. So I use the name Indiramourning as my handle on all the forums I frequent. Not just because I like the name, but in the hope that someday one of my old guildmates will recognize it and say hi.

Okay, Phil, let go! Are you sure that was a mouse that took the bait?

Abandoned Sewer system + Reveal power.

Oh.
My.
God.

Good luck at your studies, AC! (Darn real life, always getting in the way). Going to miss you around here. I hope you come back someday for a visit.

What grind?

Seiously. The "grindiness" of a game is a state of mind. I don't look at this game as a "grind" at all, I look at it as a fun means of escapism that allows me to realize a concept for a character I find intriguing. It only becomes a "grind" when you see the rewards and the XP as the "fun." Socializing and seeing what my character can do, and the challenge of keeping a team together in the current post-AE game is half the fun! Occasional RP and base design is also rather enjoyable, not to mention badging and running TFs.

There are a limited number of avenues to procure advancement for a reason: XP and loot should not be the only things in this game that you are looking for. If it is, then IMO, you are doing something wrong.

Therefore, I ask: where is this grind of which you speak?

Thank you, Thirty Seven. What I wanted to say much better than I could have said it.

All I ever see is:
Some boy: Are you really a girl?
Girl Ignores
Some boy: How old are you?
Girl Ignores

If theres something else going on I don't see it.

Yeah, that's how I deal with it too. But it is so rare that I honestly can't recall the last time someone asked me that. But hey, I have the Broadcast channel on one of the number chat windows that I only open rarely.

I miss Crabain, or was it Craban, not sure. His posts were surreal.

I drift away now and then (was gone for almost 8 months playing WAR recently) but I don't post enough for folks to miss me. It always feels like coming home when I come back to CoX and these forums.

It's always sad to see someone leave due to outside circumstances.

Well......no....not neccesarily....

What if you won the Powerball and are going to travel the world?

Anyway, so long OP.
Hope things work out.

I'd buy a new powerful gaming laptop and keep playing from the ship while between ports.

Well, I later respecced out of teleport and took flight.

Hehe, yeah, teleport in the early days had some issues. It was the first travel power I tried too. Thanks for the tale, Myriad. It brought back a lot of great memories.

Let me tell you about Georgie. We got him as a puppy. He was the one from a litter of 4 other cocker spaniels that no one wanted. Around 7 months old he was kicked by our horse and had his back broken. But he recovered from that! He had cronic ear problems that finally resulted in a $5000 surgery (more than we could aford) that left him completely deaf. But he took that in stride, and his ability to sense where we were by smell and vibrations in the floor made it hard to tell he couldn't hear. And I never stopped talking to him. I think he could actually read my lips.

Endlessly curious, around age 10 he was bit on the nose by a baby rattle snake that slithered into our back yard when we poked his nose in to sniff it. Did you know the treatment for rattle snake bite costs $500 bucks! But we paid it.

Around age 14 on valentines day a couple years ago we finally had to take Georgie to the vet and have him put to sleep. He had been in a lot of pain for the last couple years. But you can't ask your pet where it hurts. It was frustrating trying to treat his pain. But he took it in stride, all pets do, and that puppy gleam never left his eyes. My husband and I both had our hands on him when he was put to sleep, and I felt him stop breathing. But he was at peace as he lay there, ready to die I'm sure of it. He also knew that the time had come to move on. So much dignity I had never seen in any man.

This thread has made me shed many tears. Not bad tears, tears of the joys now gone. But I wouldn't have had it any other way.
