Ironblade

I wonder if it checks when you try to buy or only checks your alignment at the door. I did not try to buy an A-Merit while I was inside Fort Trident on a Vigilante toon. I should have checked to see if it listed the option.

I have not changed my settings because:
1) On my main, I'm frequently exemped for task forces so I lose all incarnate stuff.
2) Or, I'm doing something difficult enough that I'm GLAD for the level shift. (Apex, Tin Mage, etc)
3) In hindsight, it seems I rarely do 'regular' content at level 50.
4) Or, if I'm playing a level-shifted tank, I don't care about challenge. I want to be the toughest thing on the map.

So, to sum up: you love the game and have a lot of resources. The only thing missing is friends. If you went to a new game, you'd have none of these things starting off. Therefore, you should stay here and make some new friends.

*OR*, they're thinking in a different direction that you haven't even imagined. Or do you claim to know everything?

Oh, I guess you are. Carry on.

Sure it is. Sure it is. And that's why using the slap emote is just like walking up to someone on the street and hitting them in the face.
Oh, wait, it's NOTHING like that and your comparison is absurd.


Anyway, I use the Fortune on anyone who gives me one and, if it occurs to me, on any teammate that doesn't have one.

And it turns blond when he transforms to Super Saiyan.

No, you're assuming they think the same as you. Someone can have completely different opinions, plans and intentions without being an idiot.

Dunno, but I just ordered this one.
I'll let you know if anything unusual happens when I first put it on.

Well, in GG's case, I think it would be the sub-category of Hammerspace: Victoria's Secret Compartment.

There are currently no day jobs associated with The Crucible and Fort Trident. They could break out the store day jobs by origin and have Freedom Corps give the original one. They could have day jobs for hanging out by restaurants (the taco place, Colonel Flanders, Infront Steakhouse, etc), one for Super Lanes, one for the donut shop in Faultline.

As far as I can tell, though, it seems a lot of people are starting to sound like victims. The game is forcing me to do this. I have to make a choice between this and that. I'm going to fall behind.

Every aspect of this is at the players discretion. I think the next quote is a perfect demonstration of the biggest problem here:

Great. You're ASSUMING you know what the finished incarnate system will look like and that's the basis for your criticism.

We have ONE slot out of TEN so far. At least wait until the next batch gets to live and see if it really is the grind everyone seems to be overreacting about. At that point we will have HALF of the system available to us and can come up with some kind of INFORMED opinion.

It's been this way since before we even had the internet. In the early days of BBS'ing, when we dialed direct into computers with our 1200 bps modems, I was on a board where you couldn't say "chardonnay" or "saltwater taffy" because they had 'dirty words' embedded.

This wouldn't be a problem if they would just STAY OFF MY LAWN!!!

Did you try zoning and see if that fixed it? For whatever reason, zoning seems to 'reset' a lot of things.

And THAT is where you go astray. If your main concern is 'keeping up with the Joneses', then the problem lies with you, and not with the game. If you want to try to 'keep up' with a certain segment of the playerbase, feel free. But don't complain that the game is MAKING you do it.

Doesn't help. I tried that. It resizes every time I open it.

Just to be perfectly clear, the second post in the thread said:
I bolded and colored the relevant text. The post does not show as having been edited, so that was there all along.

No hurry. He'll get around to it. He's pretty casual about it.

No. Not in any way, shape or form. You have freedom of choice. You prioritize what is important you. You play the content you want. Do what matters to you. I wanted the third WST badge as fast as I could get it. When Kahn was the TF of the week, I ran it 25 times because it can be done fast. I made a big push that week because *I WANTED TO*. There was no force. There was no pressure. There was no coercion. Now I'm done with that badge. Last night I ran a level 46 toon through the Numina TF. The night before I was running a stalker through some friends patron arcs. I'm doing some of this, some of that.


No, having to make a choice is good. If everything was laid out with only one progress path to follow, then you're not playing a game. You're reading a book or watching a movie.

As for incarnate progress being at the "exclusion of everything else", utter nonsense. How about some balance? If both are important to you, split your time 50/50 between each. YOU choose. YOU decide. YOU prioritize. In my opinion, having choices and options is an excellent situation to be in.

I have this case and I love it. While it may be the smallest of the three, it's not too small. I have a relatively tall heatsink (this Zalman) to clear my RAM modules (which are kind of tall) and it fits fine. No clearance issues with my video card (Radeon HD 5850 Toxic edition) either. One of the big selling points of this case is the 220MM fan in the roof of the case. It's very quiet and keeps the system very cool. (I run a quad core at 100% utilization 24/7.)

The only possible negative for some people might be all those blue LED's. I have the computer in my bedroom and I leave it running 24/7. If it's not going to be in a room where people sleep, or it won't be on during the night, no problem. My solution was to cut the leads on 6 of the 9 LED's. This gives the case a nice blue glow.
