    Fansy Returns!

    My 2 cents ...

    I don't think they really -want- the shutdown to benefit anyone, and it was "strategic realignment" as initially stated. But 2 things happened:

    1. The buzz over it, and the chance to sell the IP at a ridiculous price was too good not to pass up
    2. Now the aftermath and we (the players) saying "screw you NC$oft" and not leaving them alone about this, they're trying to find a way to save face in the NA market.

    Again, none of my 2 cents are supported by fact, or even rumor for that matter. These are just my thoughts.

    Cape Radio?

    CapeRadio is still functioning and the DJs are still broadcasting, but their site server felt the wrath of Sandy. You may wanna PM Shecky or one of the other DJs for a link to their live broadcast.
  9. Bookmarked the blog! Color me intrigued.
  10. Sappers, spectrals, Longbow bosses, Raider porters & field drones, Rikti drones, Cims that seem immune to most anything o.o

    Outside of those though, others were a breeze.
  11. Though I did not read them all, I found the ones I did read to be quite enjoyable. Well done writing indeed.
  12. Logged into Pocket D not long after the announcement (so this was only a few weeks ago), and NPC BaBs had just zoned in by the hero elevator. So, I decide to have a little fun, for the sake of RP and all, and my college girl toon stared at his gauntlets, as I emote that she wants to poke 'em.

    Welp, someone was piloting NPC BaBs that day o.o He looks down at her and says "No poking the gauntlets. I see it on your face. Been around the block long enough to know."

    Best moment eva! Probably not exactly as good as all the other entries on this thread, but was awesome moment for me And my char will remember -that- moment for the rest of her life LOL

Heals that require an enemy target ala Dark Miasma and Kinetics draw aggro due to debuff effects on enemies but pbaoe healing auras and target ally heals have never drawn aggro to my knowledge, experience and opinion.

    Funny ... the last quote above doesn't sound like opinion & experience. It .... kinda sounds like "I'm right, you're wrong." But hey ... that's just my opinion .

    Shhhhhhhh our personal experiences & opinions to the contrary mean nothing! o.o
    Quiet you!

    It's most likely that the tank was pushing himself over the aggro cap and shedding aggro on the extra enemies, who started going after the next thing on their aggro list - you.
    We were nowhere near the aggro cap. This was well before players could set their own diff. There were 3 of us on the team. The tank -tried- to herd 8 at a time, and failed miserably.

    I don't know game mechanics enough to know whether the 'hit list' can carry mob to mob like it did ... though I sincerely doubt it. I stopped attacking -really- early in the map. Broke LoS and only came in range to fire off heals. And every mob broke off the tank and went straight for me. *shrug* My opinion remains.

    Actually, it used to. I was in a group, with a sorry excuse for a tank that thought he could herd without taunt. If there are tanks out there that can do that, he wasn't one of them.

    So, I had my heal on spam, because he was getting his butt kicked. I had been using control powers, but quickly stopped, when I realized aggro was coming my way instead of the tank's.

    But my aura heal kept pulling aggro off the tank, and towards me. Mind you, this was a few years ago ... But there ya go.

  19. Marcian, if you need help (building, renewing domain, mod'ing) let me know. If there's RP, I'm never far behind. Lump me in with Reiraku .. you've always been a joy to associate with
