    Lol yeah that would be 20% cooler with Fus Ro Dah.

    Btw here's another wallpaper that's a bit more subtle (not much tho) if you don't want everypon... everybody to know about your tastes

    Those were awesome!

    Since my wallpaper is too big (2560 x something) I'l just put the link:

    For some reason I love the Rickroll video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBe5bQ1wZtI

    Also, Pony Fantasy VII: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf15PwVyoxo

    And this is one of my fav scenes, it only lasts one minute but BEWARE IT LOOPS so be careful not to watch it 20 times

  6. Freedom and Virtue.

    Freedom seems to have the most populated redside nowadays, my impression is that Virtue players heavily favor blueside.

    I've had more bad experiences on Virtue than Freedom, weirdly. Freedom has always been friendly to me. I'm not saying Virtue is unfriendly, far from it, and it's not like the 'bad' experience were anything I got upset or whatever, I love both servers.

    That said, Virtue seems to be home of more hardcore players (in the sense of being addicted to the game) - I can always find a TF or different stuff at weird times, in Freedom not so often. I don't RP, the Virtue RPers are not as prevalent as before, maybe because of the server growth, it looks as crowded as Freedom after I returned from a 1.5 yr break.

    I've been playing some on Champion and I'm finding the community VERY friendly, but it's emptier than those two, I have no problems there but I use global channels and stuff to team.

    So. Poison.

    Yeah what Aett said - I shelved my BR/Poison because haing to redraw every 5-10 secs was too annoying (and I don't mind redraw too much), and also due to the fact that BR's main AoE is a fast recharging cone and if I got him to 38 I wouldn't make good use of the cone or the PbAoE aura.

    I see tons of SS/WP or Invul Tankers/Brutes. And other SS with every possible armor set. Shields is quite frequent too.

    Fiery Aura is not as frequent as SS but I see enough of them with other primaries/secondaries that it never struck me as an 'unpopular' armor set. In fact with the rising numbers of EA toons (mostly scrappers and stalker) I've been seeing lately at 50 (at least on Freedom where I have more 50s), the only armor set I find rarer than before is one of my favs, Dark Armor, but still not so rare that I'd say 'I barely see them'.

    But maybe in a few years (like on an iPad 4 or 5+) the improved hardware will allow it to become a more realistic possibility.
    There are some MMOs for iOs and Android. Pocket Legends and Order & Chaos Online, the second one is paid (with subscription) but you can play via facebook with the unity plugin (free till level 10 i think). Basically it's a dumbed down version of WoW, haven't tried pocket legends which I think is 'freemium'.
  10. Even if a full windows 7 were available for the ipad 2, no way. The iPad2 only has 512 mb of ram, plus its processing power is less than a netbook. For example, on my iPad2 my forum avatar turns into a slideshow (simpler animated gifs are ok).

    The reason the iPad2 works so smoothly is that it freezes other apps, it doesn't have true multitasking like my Android phone (which also has less processing power than a netbook so when I go overboard on programs running at the same time it gets very slow). Even individual browser tabs are frozen and reloaded when you switch to them again so that the browser can run well with multiple tabs open.

    The iPad 2 (and now the iPhone 4s) can run gorgeous games (Dead Space, which has console gameplay unlike Infinity Blade, another beautiful game but limited gameplay) due to having a very powerful GPU but I believe the games must be specifically built for it.

    Well you have my permission to add ponies to our manly thread
  13. Milady's experience seem to match mine mostly. On Freem I still see 50 Fire/Kins but the rest is basically the same (almost no Widows, one or two FFs in the last... 6 months?), and of course Psi Blasters, I completely forgot they existed

    Empathy seems to be down on popularity - perhaps one of the reasons is that it's a set that most people don't want to replay. I played the hell out of my mind/emp (first toon and one of the most expensive builds I have) and although I still take her out once in a while, I have absolutely no desire to level the set again - unlike, say, Traps, Rad or Kin.

    Maybe the buff-onlys sets (Emp, FF, Pain in all but one power) are less popular nowadays... Even though Pain looks so good imo and has a very nice debuff and +res +tohit +dmg team buff.

    /Pain is a lot like Empathy, with a little more offense and a different kind of self-buff. It's fine, but I favor debuffing over buffing power sets; I've already played nearly everything else, Pain is one of the last few left to try.
    I think Sonic Blast is not popular because of aesthetics/sound. My defender is shelved because I got bored with the blasts, even knowing how great Sonic Blast is (kinda the same reason I gave up on Beam and regret buying it, but I also didn't like the Disintegrate spread mechanic being 100% only with the snipe). OTOH, I rolled 3 DP toons until I found one I liked the combo, and mainly because I wanted it to work for me due to loving the animations, that may be why I see so many DP toons although it's no outlier (maybe the opposite according to some, but I'm not discussing what is 'gimp' or not - the only blaster I had enough fun to get to nuke level is Energy/Ice).

    Ok I lol'ed IRL now but you can kill gms! I deleted my BR/Poison out of utter frustration with redrawing every 5-10 seconds.

Same thing happens all the time with FF, Sonic, and TA threads in the defender forums.
    Heh yeah, it just shows that they're aware of it. You usually get some response like 'but repulsion field is useful in that specific moment in the whatever-TF'.

    Now if you try to argue Fire/Dark corrs are weak you'll get responses like 'ok lulz that's like ur opinion' or 'well mine melts mobs' without all the justifications and 'self-defense' answers.
  16. What side do you pick more than others?
    Used to be Villain, now Hero because everyone is playing there

    What play style do you prefer?
    Force multipliers who do decent damage and buffs/debuffs (corrs, trollers endgame) but I have a real soft spot for Stalkers - yeah my preferences might look a little girlish

    What power set(s) do you favor?
    Mind Control, Empathy, Traps, Energy Melee (yeah, and on Stalkers), Dark Armor, Elec Armor, Dual Blades, Energy Blast, Ice Blast.

    What zones do you like the most?
    Croatoa, Faultline, Cap Au Diablo, Atlas Park.

    Do you usually play as a male or female (word of hatred) ''toon''?
    Female because my male designs usually suck and my females usually look good enough for me and I even get compliments/win CCs/etc (and they're not bikini girls). My ZOMG damage toons (fire/kin, ss/fire) are male tho, although I am never 100% satisfied with their looks.

    Views on Role Playing?
    Don't do it, but I find it funny to watch when I'm on team with RPers.

    Servers?
    Freem, Virtue, Champs.
  17. Ok maybe we should change it to 'sets that we barely see' lol (except for DFB because you see every kinda combo there).

    Vexen777 my Mind/Emp is one of the toons I played the most so I tend to notice when someone is using Mind... And I have the same impression, I was actually a bit surprised to see one yesterday on a Pug. I've been seeing quite a few PBs on the 30-50+ range, but for me it looks WSs are much rarer. I see the occasional VEAT but my impression is that I see more PBs than any VEAT.

    Come to think of it, the toon I've been playing the most lately is my db/elec scrapper, and from level 30 (where I left her more than 1 year ago) to 42 I haven't teamed with another DB toon. I still see a ton of dual pistols tho.
  18. Skipped Havoc on both my Elec/Ea and Elec/Regen and never missed it.
    I always skip one of the two initial attacks on scraps and stalkers.

    edit: and any toon can just get the heal badges in the arena, in a night or two of farming; edit or rebirth spamming in trials
    Why would a human PB be bad? They're pretty good soloers now starting from SOs and they have a 'heal other'. Asking outta curiosity since I don't care about badges but I do have a human PB on Champs I solo quite a bit.
  20. Yeah it doesn't look so hot either on my little bunny DB/ElA scrapper.

    Also, I never see Sonic Blast or Sonic Resonance. Resonance I can understand since it's a bit of a wonky set but Sonic Blast is awesome. The look, the feel, the sound, I love it all. Guess the same can't be said for everyone.
    Oh, Sonic Blast, I never saw it again either I think. Myself, I found the animations too boring.

    I saw some Sonic Res toons both on TFs and iTrials. I didn't play Pain but the set, besides being very nice looking, has a great PbAoE buff and debuff. In fact for my new Elec Troller I only rolled Therm because there's no pain for trollers, I like the numbers on the set.
