Wonders what the price is to commission bronx to make me the monez

Why thank you Bronx . . .


For both compliments

All i have to say is wow . . . publicly asking (on the COH forums no less) about something the devs have said time and again they frown on . . .

I honestly never through i would see a post setting up a PL team on the boards.

And before you say it's not a pl team . . . . if i join will you turn off XP?

Does have a dark/dark brute inching it's way to 50.

He has been getting more face time lately since JW's fire/kin made it to RWZ level and Lilli is giving us some time at night to play . . . mostly.

And you need to slide that build over to me also, If you don't mind.

A good name is what drew you back?

srsly?

I have no Wasrshade builds but i do have a dm/da who needs money


I kid . . .

Oh and the fact that someone, somehow, thought Task Force Nothung was a good name

[/ QUOTE ]

They probably overestimated the typical player's familiarity with Wagner's opera The Valkyrie, as Nothung is the name of the magical sword.

[/ QUOTE ]

To be fair I did point out during the TF ,when it was noticed, that Nothung was Siegfried's sword . . . . . but really?

I'll let you know next week. I'm taking my week long new issue sabbatical. :P

[/ QUOTE ]

Normally, I'd think that was a good idea. New Issue Lag is often frustrating as all heck, but last night I didn't really notice alot of lag. I saw a crapload of bugs, but not lag.

First Impressions, I think they have too many people working on the Rogue Expansion, and not enough working on this Issue. It was released too soon. I've seen bugs with the TF Temp Powers, Newly arisen Graphics problems, Blank Prompt boxes popping up, unpredictable crashes to Login Screens, Animation hangups, and Chat Errors.

Also, it seems like a "gimme" issue. Not a whole lot to be excited about. A new TF is a good gift, especially for the Champion Server which seems to be on a TF kick lately. But, that's really all. And I think it would be a better TF if it were a lower level. Something in the mid to upper 30s - lower 40s would have been neat. We have alot of 45-50 TFs already (ITF, LGTF, STF, and the Rikti Mothership raids should be thrown in there too).

Also, (I've said this before, and I'm sure I'll say it again) they keep releasing equal content for Villains and Heroes. They need to add Exclusive Villain Content at some point. On all servers, Villain play is down. Because there isn't enough to keep people interested. New Hero stuff is fun, but there is so much of it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Activity = Content Development time.

Sadly the less then popular way that most villain ATs work caused a downward spiral for the red side. I'm hopeful that once people can take their beloved hero AT's rogue we might see an upswing in content.

Until then we just have to deal . . .. . like we always have.

One last thing
I think this issue was not rushed/under worked for Going Rogue . . .

I think it was rushed/under worked for I-16 and Power customization.




That being said i stand by our consensus from last night . . .

The Khan TF was worth it just to see an AV ignore everyone in TF to run across the map to kill aven while he was AFK.

Oh and the fact that someone, somehow, thought Task Force Nothung was a good name

And one of those deaths was worth it just to see an AV ignore every one fighting to run halfway across the map to kill aven while he was AFK and then camp his corpse.

I don't think he drinks beer... most of the time

Very rarely, pimpin'. Lately, it's been an [censored] load of Private Stock. Mmm ..

Even then, it is a Red Stripe or Blue Moon. *

And, I'm such a [censored] that I need two orange peels.







* Me drinking a beer or four will never equate to me condoning Canadian Bacon. [censored] [censored] that [censored] is.

Snob!

[/ QUOTE ]

Being a snob is fine . . . I've recently returned to beer and realized i can't drink anything i used to think was good. It's seems my beer shelf now always has something people have never heard of.
. . . .
Well if you don't count my newly acquired supply of "visitor beer" and my guilty pleasure cheap beer (but only 2-3 bottles)
. . .
. . .
. . .

And of course the obligatory 22oz bottle of arrogant [censored].

After looking over this thread all i can say is

[censored]

Oh and just to keep it on topic

Bacon tempura

Although i would suggest using cold soda water for the tempura batter . . . .

Things are good.

Lilliana is showing a stubborn streak like her .................................................. ...mother.

Other then that is just another day in the life.

and yourself?

Mention bacon and Bronx appears . . .

[censored] priceless

Makes me chuckle every time.

You can find a few meph?

Get this !!!!!!!!!


I teamed with a bunch of people who think they are so much better then everyone that they forget every noob mistake they ever made and actually take the time to post about others mistakes on a message board.

I wonder what some of the people on these boards would think of concept toons of mine or other people i know.

Like pings travel powerless ill/emp? My pool power less toon. Or captain pool power

Or they know they are exploiting a bug . . . .

You do know that solo means by yourself with no outside help . . . .right?

and that when the big hand goes all the way around that is minutes not seconds . . . .

Men are easy to defeat, it is easy for me to win EVERY battle. My bra accidentally falls off (accident, sure they stare and never see the truck falling on their head.

Wow your bra falls off?!?!?! really that's the best you can do?

I better reserve that sort of talk for the Pingu Channel only.

Because the Pingus never post chat logs anywhere......oh wait

We don't . . . . because someone is a slacker and falling behind on the funny.

Holy came late to the party batman!

I need help because I'm a terrible player. I've done nothing but get PLed to 50 and am now a nub that doesn't know how to play his characters. What are enhancements? Are they like steroids? I don't want to get banned for 50 missions.

Pingu is slang for penguin and is also apparently Spanish for [censored]. This is a fitting name for me due to the fact that I am commonly called a giant [censored] who [censored] [censored] [censored] goats. It has also been described as a [censored] penguin. That now gives me the mental image of a penguin dancing to mariachi music swinging his [censored] around. I'm betting that wasn't the intended mental image.

Felecia's done the most for this server out of anyone. She's the most helpful and giving person ever, and she never says unintelligent things that make her look like the most self-centered, ignorant, and oblivious person on the planet.

Jester has a typo in his sig. It makes a whole sentence not make sense.

3 of these statements are true (including this one).

BTW, WTF are all these SGs and the where did all the drama between them come from?!?

[/ QUOTE ]

Bite me ping . . . IT appears [censored] is a censored term.

Odd i fixed my sig and there are still 3 true statements.

i was in rv watching some friends pvp (on my fire EMP troller).. it was understood under the statue was a safe zone..


[/ QUOTE ]

Or maybe perhaps he was teaching you that under the statue is NOT a safe zone, because after hearing your story I wouldn't stand under there.

[/ QUOTE ]

I would stand there . . . to keep killing the fire/emp that was not moving.

Wanna -watch- friends PVP? Go to the arena.

I played my first 3-4 months of this game without joining an SG. I only played one character, I teamed whenever possible and made a few friends along the way.

It wasn't until my first SG, BOSS, that I REALLY started learning the game. I apparently was a decent player because people told me so(I had quite a few actually make the comment "I wanna go make a grav/FF now), but there were some things about the game that I only learned through playing with a diverse SG such as BOSS. Shortly around that time I had also met Marut and Genna, started bubbling for hami raids, and even led one(it failed, lol). My new groups of friends were teaching me a lot about the numbers, the powersets and how they sometimes meshed better in certain combinations than others, and of course the art of fighting AV's and GM's.

I didn't really feel like I was any different of a player, though, just because people were there to spout information at me. I still played the same, I just had more information about how to build my character.

This was a totally natural learning process, though. I learned more about the game by playing the game. I don't think that anything past the tutorial would be something I would personally be interested in when it comes to learning the game, though helpful hints when teaming were/are always appreciated.

Long story short, I think teaming is the best tool. I don't think any sort of training program or advanced tutorial is going to be something that anyone would be interested in because it takes away from what they pay their $15 a month for: Playing the game, having fun, etc.

I think a form of this could work, so long as it isn't set in a "learning or training environment". Just team with people and kindly let them know that they should not have six-slotted flurry or that it's not very beneficial to their character to have 3 travel powers and stealth when they could have picked up something from their primary/secondary that would far more enhance the character's survivability/usefulness. If they don't want to listen, then they must be having fun with what they have and that's what they wanna do.

Jester said it right: There's going to be people that suck. If they don't want help, [censored] 'em. If they do...tell 'em what's up.

I would take an alcohol smashed, drunken Mephisto Controller over 99% of the server anytime.
