Quote:That may be, but I already had planned my day off around the early event, and have plans this evening. I won't have time to get the holiday costume pieces that were part of my toon concept before then.Originally Posted by mousedroid
There's another one in about five hours. -
Quote:Yeah, and guess who was monitoring the rules page and missed the event because a) they moved it and didn't announce the change in locations well, b) they didn't send out tells on Exalted before the event saying "hey, it moved!" giving people time to switch over and c) we were all hanging out with DJ Paragon in PD on Exalted...who ALSO thought the event was on Exalted. What a complete waste of time getting my toon ready and getting excited over the event.Originally Posted by Aneko
It also still doesn't answer the question I asked in this thread.
As of right now, the Rules page still shows the event on Exalted. -
Congrats to all the winners! Someday I may eventually have a toon that will survive a strong wind, and I can join you! :P
-
I can take her to red side if that's the best build. Thanks!

Masque:
With I19 dropping, I've been playing my 50's...but just went in to lvl my cold/rad toon. Guess what. She's a hero, but the build has the epics for a villain. :P
So do I need to take her over to the dark side so I can get the Leviathan mastery set? -
Chad, Supreme Catalyst went villain and would love to join...but it sounds like we may be eating pumpkin pie on the west coast at 7pm eastern. If you decide to run it later, let me know. We'll probably be on line around 7pm AZ time. We'll both join if you have room. :P

Thanks, Masque!

Quote:I have a 15 year old daughter, and two young nieces. Zelda and Final Fantasy games - newly released or classics - probably would be good for the 9 year old. Also, books (or a GC to Borders or Barnes/Noble). My kids ALWAYS loved making a trip to the bookstore to pick their own book. And you can get books for all ages.Originally Posted by Desmodos
Not setting any budget limits right now. If a great gift idea seems out of budget, I can recruit other family members to chip in.
I've just been informed the 3 year old is into Dora, Tinkerbell, and Strawberry Shortcake.
The 9 year old just got a laptop...(I'm still struggling with this concept), but word is she's getting into computers...ok loving this child already.
The 6 and 9 year old are into Nintendo DS, so age appropriate games for them is something I'm gonna look into.
For the older two: Cute purses, fancy girly socks, "graphic tees", PC games for the laptop, inexpensive digital camera (DON'T buy the "kid" versions...they almost all have horrible ratings), Karaoke machine, Hello Kitty stuff (heck, even the big girls still get into that!), Silly Bands, Barbie stuff, kid makeup, non-powered scooter, Polly Pocket, butterfly garden (I agree with MP - it's REALLY cool...my 8yr old niece had one and her 15 yr old sister got a kick out of it too!), Play-Doh, FurReal Friends, art supplies...you get the picture!
For the little one, watch out for things with small parts. Suggestions: Some of the above may be age-appropriate, but add in any stuffed animal, dress-up, pretend shopping cart or vacuum cleaner, baby doll that looks like a real baby, musical instruments, tea set, anything Fisher Price that looks like fun to you, etc.
And if any of the girls are interested...they now make PINK Legos! You'd need "Duplos" for the 3-yr old, but the older two could get the real McCoy.
Try checking out: http://besttoysguide.com/top-toys-for-girls or even go on Amazon or Target .com and do a search...you can narrow down by all kinds of factors - interests, gender, age group...
Oh, and a fun game I personally recommend for young kids of all ages is called "Count Down". It's a board with two sets of flip-over wood slats, numbered 1-10. The goal is to flip over all your slats first - using math results from a set of dice. You can add, subtract, multiply or divide. Watch out for rolling 11 or 12...that means someone's slats get reset. Even the 3-yr old could do simple math with grown-up help. Here's a link on Amazon:

They make a 4-player version now, too.
OK, that's enough mom-ness for me. Have fun shopping! -
Hey, Masque. If I19 is killing the build for my defender, I have other toons I could bring along if they don't have to be brand new. I only have a couple of toons with accolades and such, and no toons with dual builds - so any of my toons could potentially pvp with no advantages over anyone else (the only thing I can think of they might have are any Day Job benefits from being out-of-circulation for a bit).
I'm big on playing support, so let me know. I have an ill/emp, earth/emp, cold/psi, ta/arch, grav/kin, fire/force...etc. Or, I could roll something specific you see a need for. Not sure how quickly I could get a new toon leveled up (haven't seen our "I'm not really PL-ing you, but here's some uber xp" people on line the last week). But it's an option. I'm not tied to any particular character. So long as I can take liberties in the Costume Creator, I'm good. :P
Since I'm on the sidelines on the roster, I'm open for anything. Just let me know! -
FYI...on vacation and out of town this weekend, with no wi-fi access. Won't be back until Saturday night.
-
My cold/rad def is up to level 30-something. I would love to have a build for her to get used to...I've been picking powers as I go, but I'm not familiar with how I should be creating her for pvp. :P
-
I threw together a cold/rad def tonight. I'm hoping that was one of the debuff builds you were talking about in the other thread. If so, any recommendations are appreciated. She's lvl 4 right now (Rikti raid at Ms. Liberty!), so I'm not far along on powers yet...and I have a ton of free respec veterans goodies so I can "fix" her that way or just reroll this early.
I have an older version of Mids, but truthfully I'm not really familiar on how to use it - I've been playing the last 4+ years just for fun - and haven't paid too much attention to uber-building my toons. I've only got two (I think) with any major accolades. :P
If you can help me get this gal up and running, maybe I can pvp with you guys on some practice runs now and then, just for fun.

I saw you took me off the free agent list, Masque. Thanks. I really wanted to participate but a) I'm out of town on the 12th with no internet access, b) the practice times at 9pm EST will be difficult for me to hit reliably in my time zone with the kidlings and c) I'm totally lost! I can't usually get online before 7:30-8pm AZ time. And though I've been following the posts, I didn't know what sets the free agents were supposed to pick from so I haven't even thought about a toon much. Oh, well...maybe next time. Pooey!

Quote:Same here. Lag was so bad around 1:00 pm PST server-wide that chat was full of complaints. Many of the people in Cimerora trying to put ITF's together gave up completely and logged out. Not just inside the 1st mission (which was so laggy that people were popping around on screen like popcorn, powers wouldn't go off for 5 or more seconds, chat taking 4-5 seconds to post, etc.), but also just in the open zone. And it appeared to be server-wide (not just Cim), cause other SG mates were complaining about the same thing from all different zones. Lag wasn't that bad when I was running my ancient pc with an on-motherboard cheapie video card...Originally Posted by Ocularis
