  1. Monday: Because we are coming off a weekend I have so many people that have forgotten how to use a computer I really need to blow off steam. So I stay out of game and do personal stuff.

    Tuesday: The first day of the new "Weekly Strike Force" I am in game standing next to the contact hoping that someone sees that I am there and wants my current Archetype for their attempt.

    Wednesday: Mid-week blow off, for 9 years I have been visiting friends and commiserating over wine.

    Thursday: Another attempt at the "Weekly Strike Force" and standing around the contact.

    Friday: I get off work (Feb-May) at Noon, I get something to eat, pay bills, talk with family. But around 2 PM Central, once again I am standing by the contact for the "Weekly Strike Force".

    Saturday: I am in game at around 9 AM Central. This is, with exception of family things, my day to game.

    Sunday: Again, since I have no dependents or responsibilities, I get into game around 9 AM Central.



    There you go.
  2. Too tired to look, and you can PM with the answer...

    I have two accounts and One (1) computer.

    How is this going to get the wisp on both accounts?

    Have to go to sleep now, as I'm tired.

    When I did the betas, did I ever try and break things, and actually found some items that did end up get "fixed".

    As a tech, I understand the premise of beta, and threw myself fully into the ones I got invited to.

    And that was the thing. Trying to "break" the game, when I went back "live" I carried that over in some instances.

    So, now I play for enjoyment: I read the dialogs without worrying about grammar or spelling, I use the powers without trying to "break" them.

    But, while I am on "live" I do notice some things, and when I find them I report them.
  4. I have been in game for the (soon) last 7 years.

    I was in CoV beta.

    I was in "Macintosh" beta.

    For the first 2 years of game, I did not even go to the "test server".

    With the exception of Manticore and Sister Psyche's wedding, I have really not enjoyed "beta".

    So.



    I am not going to be going back to the test server, and unless someone really drags me back I will no longer be doing any "beta".


    I have found that I enjoy the game more not knowing what is coming.

    Most likely you will have to be Alpha slotted, just like Tin Mage/Apex.

    He did mention "level 50" in his description.

    The other rewards include double(?) merits and a significant XP boost at the end.

    With the XP boost, everyone should have inferred they would not limit it to just level 50 TF/SF.

    At least I did.

    I'm just wondering how they would pair the Shadow Shard TF with something red side

    Batman Arrested!

    I thought it was against the law to give a false name when arrested?

    I've been playing for almost 7 years, and I have one character with 2 purple enahncements slotted.

    And that 50 is 5 years old as a 50.

    I have 21 level 50 toons, and I enjoy playing all of them, so trying to "surper io" a single toon is rather difficult.

    Especially before being able to eMail yourself recipes, enhancements, inf, etc.
  9. I get the 81 in 21 days.

    And, am excited to have another self-rez besides the normal powerset, temp powers.

    As a blaster, I can find a use for these.

    It might not be the "Well of Furies" that was drunk from, as Incarnates gain their powers by being chosen to the path and then deciding whether to dive head-long into, or piece-meal it.

    If their "Praetorian" Hamidon is of Incarnate power base, it would make an interesting fight.
  11. Winter Event 2010 started today.

    My flight to London is Sunday.

    I'm gone 8 nights.

    But, I should be back in time for the last 3 days of the event.





    But, I'll be in London, in front of a television on Christmas Night to see "Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol".




    I can deal.
  12. My Empath has 3 attacks:

    1. Brawl
    2. Nemesis Wand (vet reward)
    3. Blackwand (Vet reward)

    My Empath is so more support than anything else.



    Put it this way:

    If Mentalshock's blaster and My Empath were duoing, I could keep him alive.



    My Empath has kept Badge alive.


    And the only reason is that I learned to be an Empath is from Riverdancer.



    Why do you think I run so many scrappers now?
  13. It is the end of another year, another year of dealing with Hellions, Vahzilok, Knives, Nemesis, and Arachnos.

    It is the end of another year of building your strengths, finding your weaknesses, and bettering yourselves to continue on.

    At the end of this year, no matter what comes of the following, remember:

    You are at your best when you rise above what hurts you.
    You are at your best when you can look fear in the eyes, and tell it you will not succumb.
    You are at your best when you see the challenges ahead, and say you are ready.

    You are at your best, when the next year comes no matter what it throws at you, you say:


    Bring it.
  14. Okay, my defender did the first mission you can't die in even if you are stupid.

    But, the second one just killed me on my empath. Repeatedly. With great vigor and awesome faceplants.


    So.

    I have a tank or two, and will want to get the Alpha on at least one (if not both), so I am offering services.

    I'll tank your defender/controller/etc if someone will tank/scrap my defender.


    Drop me a tell Saturday @Janlee between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM (Central).

    Winter Event

    Last Winter Event started Dec 15th and ran till Jan 12th

    So if i19 comes out after Thanksgiving (which it has to now), it should be starting around the same time.

    I would say: December 14th (again the 3rd Tuesday of the month like last time)
  17. Zombie Man is a well researched article of Ai that has infiltrated multiple systems with the intent of providing information as a first hand basis which is then taken as speculation, lies or rumors.

    In other words:


    He is a Nemesis Plot.
  18. Remember, "Freespecs" are not bankable.

    Whenever they issue one, if you have not used it, you do not get a second one.

    They are not cumulative.

    Use it or lose it as they say.
  19. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_Day

    I thank all that have served or are serving.

    I especially thank those that gave the ultimate in their service. And I pass to their families my thanks and condolences.
  20. So I see this Twitter post:

    I really think Cole needs to looks at our television seasons again.

    Can anyone say: "Jersey Shore"?


    Really.

    I have always found it humorous that the "bad guy" NPCs hide during an event, but the "civilians" still walk and drive around.

    Was ToT in Grandville near the "Haven House" and there was a line of the "civilians" at the door even during the Zombie Invasion.

    Thanks Paragon for the ongoing vet awards!
    You have to admit though:

    After costume pieces, base items, and some items per character... This is a major change for a system that nerfed every other method of "fast tracking" a character.

    It's basically done this way so you have to play to get the benefit, not just be auto-leveled.
    That is what I thought.

    It is not a "Push me 5 times for 2.5 levels automatically".
