Quite true. But, in the short term, we will have FREAKING EPIC CROWDS in Praetoria. They need to use that to show just how active the game is.

It's a fact that there are lots of duplicated names on different servers. In order to accommodate that, either someones name has to change or the naming scheme itself has to change. EITHER of those methods would cause SOMEONE to quit. It's just a question of how many and would the benefits outweigh the costs.

Accurate up to that point, but you keep overlooking the fact that less servers means less monthly cost to maintain/operate them. That needs to be part of the equation.

Oh, you can get quite a few on a brand new toon.

Absolutely true. However, a "team" can be as few as one person or as many as eight. By using Eye of the Magus and Elusive Mind accolades simultaneously, my scrapper can easily plant a bomb solo.

And this is what I was going to say. Faultline is level 15-25 and it works differently from the standard contacts - you don't need an introduction (just like The Hollows, Striga, Rikti War Zone).

Just walk up to Jim Temblor and anyone in the 15-20 range can get missions.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, you're contradicting yourself. Note the bolded sections. In the first, you say that the AT's are designed around the tank-heal-DPS triad. In the second, you are saying that buffers and debuffers are SUPERIOR in their effects on the team. i.e. If you ignore the tank-heal-DPS triad, you can build a more powerful team. So then how are the AT's designed around the triad if our systems causes the triad to create an inferior team?

I do. What server are you on?


In order to..... 'hinder' this sort of tactic, if you lie dead in a PvP zone for more than 120 seconds, you immediately go to the hospital whether you like it or not. So you must self-rez less than 2 minutes after dying.

What's wrong with Force Field? I don't recall seeing such a strong negative opinion about it and I've taken a bubbler to 50 and it seemed fine to me.


I have to disagree on this. If someone comes from an MMO where this triad rules, you can easily use it here - but that's a positive aspect of this system. There are a lot of ways to assemble a team that work. You can do tank/healer/DPS if that's your mindset; or you can go 10 other different directions.

Maybe they're working on the assumption that the person they are addressing isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

"Needless to say (but I'll spell it out for you, since you have the intellect of a mackerel)...."

I +repped him for quoting Stan Lee.

um, it's not a fixed number. The storage vault gives you access to the same storage space that you can see by visiting a VAULT STORAGE location on the map. It is not ADDITIONAL storage space. It just lets you access your personal storage without exiting the base and running across the map.

Also, the amount of storage space varies with your level. What the 'base storage capacity' is at your level is how much the vault can hold. Your character storage can be increased by badges, vet rewards, purchasing the Vanguard storage sack - none of these will increase your vault storage. Example: my level 50 badge collector can store 80 salvage on his person and 50 in the vault.

He knows that. What I THINK he meant was along the lines of: "Does it help if I apologize that it's not free?"

Anyway, regarding hitting 14 too fast - my suggestion is try a different type of character. If your situation does change, and you can subscribe, you'll have a headstart on which characters you like to play and you'll have at least one who has a good start.

I think a lot of people might call it a 'zone event', since it's outdoors and is better with multiple teams. However, it is entirely triggered/initiated by the players. Organize some teams and start trashing pylons. Ideally, you want a leader who has done it before giving directions.

I think most servers have mothership raids occur on a regular schedule. I know Infinity does. You should post in the section for your server and find out if there is a global channel where the raids are announced.

How about "Duh!"?
And both people who quoted me left out the smiley.

Actually, it does. Local lag (i.e. caused by people standing nearby and/or spamming powers) has an impact.

No, it worked in a perfectly simple manner. You could put 2500 items in.

You may be thinking of Positron's post about how it was originally intended to work. It was planned to be based on 'stacks' and the limit would be 999. Accordingly, the art work was created with a 3 digit counter. Then it was discovered that the mechanics of it were too complex so they just changed it to 2500 items. The artwork was never changed.

One small detail: the plot size does not determine the rent. All plot sizes have zero rent. Certain ITEMS in the base cause you to pay rent (storage items, buff stations).

Actually, it's NOT a task forces, so he does scale. Even though Paragonwiki calls it the 'Mender Lazarus Task Force', it says:

That's why I asked if MAYBE he was actually an AV. It varies, based on team size and settings.
