Manticore.
(i.e. The real-life person who uses the Manticore name/avatar in the game. Just like Matt Miller is Positron and Melissa Bianco is War Witch.)

This doesn't really help the storage situation.

And that's why. Coalition members can't access storage in coalition bases; only their own base. You'll have to email stuff to someone in the other SG to store it. And when I say "someone", it can be another character on the same account. Just mail to your own global name and anyone on the same account can claim it (same faction only until Going Rogue, then either faction).

Anyone who selects 'Tanker' during the character creation process *IS* a tank. No claiming is required.

Well, you can pull up detailed power information right in-game. If you have a power (or a recipe, or an enhancement), DRAG the icon into your chat bar and drop it. It will not be removed from where you were dragging from and it will put the name in the chat line. Hit <enter> and it will bring up an info screen.

You can do this for ANY power or item in the game, even if you don't have it. You just need to know the name and put it in square brackets. For example, type the following into your chat line:
[Dry Heave] <enter>
Seriously, that's actually a power.
The players can't have it, but I think it's the best power name in the game.

Let me think . . .

YES!

Seriously, I was doing some detailed work in Photoshop (a moving notice that my brother wanted to mail out) using a mouse and, by the time I was done, my shoulder actually ached. I got the tablet right after that. Even the lowest-end product from a decent manufacturer (Graphire series from Wacom) made a huge, huge difference. A dinky little tablet with a 4x5" sensor surface was a fantastic improvement in terms of accuracy and comfort. A friend of mine is a graphic artist and has a 12x12" high-end tablet and it's amazing.

Make no mistake, though, even a low-end tablet costs more than a good mouse. I got my tablet several years ago, on sale, and I had a discount coupon, and it was $75. I never regretted it.

And get off your lawn?

I agree with your premise (price caps are bad), but the section I highlighted is actually not how the market works. A bunch of us on the market channel did an experiment to see exactly how it did work if there were a bunch of bids in place at the same price. We found some garbage item and bought them all. Then we had a whole group of people each put in a bid at the exact same price. Then the items were put up for sale at 1 inf, one at a time to see whose bid was filled first.

It is NOT first in, first out. It's basically random. It wasn't truly random. If we had a fixed number of people putting in bids at the same price, they would always get filled in the same order. If you have a large number of bidders, and they don't know the sequence in which everyone else listed their bids, it's EFFECTIVELY random.

Gee, I hope someone signs up with a defender.

THEY'RE NOT DOLLS! THEY'RE ACTION FIGURES!

Ah, I knew it looked familiar. Richard O'Brien is in that, yes?
(Yes - just checked on IMDB.)

Madame Danger AKA Maria Jenkins.
From her in-game info:

What? You think we're all smart enough to use these uber l33t search techniques?


P.S. Fascinating. The editor in Firefox flags "uber" as a spelling error, but not "l33t".

You can't. Emailing is not cross-faction. But it IS cross-server, so which server he's on doesn't matter.

P.S. It's not cross-faction NOW. It will be in August.

Well, you can do it without the word "but". For example: "I'm sorry you're too stupid to understand what I'm saying."

Happy dance time!

Same here. Only my main/badger toon is purpled. Everyone else costs me a lot less to IO. I continue to play the market for one main reason: I hope that some day they will add purple sets for defense and healing (my main is broadsword/regen).

The obligatory catgirl, I take it?
I have one myself.
Also, a friend has a toon named 'Obligatory Catgirl'.

Interesting comparison. Back when they nerfed the AoE holds, illusion got hit particularly hard and many people did in fact start skipping their AoE holds because they felt the power simply was not worth it and that it required too many slots (i.e. six) to make it even marginally effective.

Now you're wrong. Using all caps for emphasis is a style choice. Using arch instead of arc is simply wrong.

Just pointing this out in case someone less knowledgeable about trolling comes along and your post slips past them.

You know, I was agreeing with everything so far. I was particularly impressed with how you stated it was your opinion and based on your personal experience..... then you had to go and act like you're speaking for some majority.


To be fair, it's actually hard to learn how to play a tank well. I don't read any of the other AT forums, but tanks always struck me as more complex and more difficult to play WELL. And by 'playing a tank well', I mean playing them *AS* a tank, filling the classic role of aggro control and protecting the team.

Back to the main discussion - I think you can build for your role, that being a 'classic' tank, without taking Taunt. You just have to be using the right powersets and picking the right powers. I have an ice/SS tank who has no problem operating without Taunt. Out of six tanks, this is my only one that does not have Taunt. He has two taunt auras, two AoE attacks and four ranged attacks. Given that background, Taunt just doesn't bring as much to the table as it does for my WP tank.

I would agree. Once upon a time, I was dating a woman from Puerto Rico. She spoke English quite well (better than a lot of Americans I know), but had some problems with verb tenses (English is notorious for this). The first time I corrected her, I immediately asked if that bothered her. She said it did not, and that she wanted me to always correct her, even if there were other people around.

Yep. My shield/axe tank has his all-Vanguard costume set, a tech-looking set, a magic-looking set.

Okay, now I have a better idea what you can do. I think diminishing returns will keep you from increasing five-fold each day, so..... 1.38 billion.

Anyway, if you even slightly outperform my calculations on a daily basis, you'll hit the cap. Will you transfer extra influence OFF of this character in order to keep making money? Should we be making guesses like 2.7 billion?
