Well, let's see. I love how easy and quick it is to get from Talos to Galaxy for a respec now.

Issue 19 and all it's respecs also opened my eyes to the beauty of /cleartray

/cleartray makes putting my trays in order after the respec sooo much easier.

I am enjoying all of issue 19

I know someone has probably beaten me to it, but Wanted, you don't have to go to Steel Canyon Icon. Just trot over to Vanguard, and do your fixing there

Lisa-Has spent a lot of time there on level two toons.

NCSoft Store is down for Maintenance

Getting ready for all of of us cape & aura lovers who will be storming the place waving our plastic

Lisa hops into the thread smiling broadly.

I am probably the most unlikely of COH players. As well as being female, I am probably old enough to be a granny to a lot of you

Growing up I never bothered a lot with games. I have a poor short term memory, meaning it takes several tries for me to get stuff loaded into long term memory, and I am a clutz, and, what's worse, I am an emotional type of person.

Sooooo....Being an emotional clutz who doesn't catch on to things lickedly split..gaming never held any sort of appeal to me.

45 months ago, my better half bought himself an early Christmas present. It was City Of Heroes. He was hooked on it. I would enjoy looking over his shoulder and watch the fights, but, when he asked me if I wanted to play I would look at all the violence, shudder, think about doing what he was doing, but with my clutziness, and I would shudder again.

I tried to make up for it. I encouraged his talking about it, I would bring him snacks and meals to his computer when he was in a taskforce or something, I would perch over his shoulder, and discuss with him about what he was doing.

Finally, a couple of months later, Mark thought it was time. He bought another copy of the game, and despite my very loud protests, he installed it on my computer. He then paid for a year's subscription and even bought me a new video card and power supply.

He was soo sure I would love the game if only I would try.

I vividly recalll making my first toon.

It was Friday and I had the day off. I stood in Outbreak scared to my very toes..you see I had read the forums in an attempt to understand things, and I read a thread about how the more experienced players disliked noobs, and kicked them off of teams..being kicked off a team sounded horrible.

Anyways, I was a clutz, and had never played a video game before, and was, thanks to my forum reading, convinced that all the other players would see I was a noob and make disdainful comments to me, and, and, and,I was emotional about the whole thing...I was in Outbreak the whole darn day.

I couldn't run in a straight line, nor could I jump over a car....and when I saw other players I froze. My fingers were frozen on the keyboard, my eyes staring intently at whatever player crossed my path...Oh mee.

Mark came home from work, and when he finished laughing his head off, he made a toon,went into Outbreak and dragged my toon by the ear into Atlas Park.

I am now quite addicted. I still cannot run in a straight line, but I can leap over cars in a single bound, and I am not at all afraid to send a tell to another player and engage in conversation

I love this game

Tylerst,GavinRuneblade,DreadShinobi, and Obscure Blade.

Thank you all very much. You have given me a lot of food for thought.

/Fire it is then.

I have a Plant/Fire in Praetoria. I was waiting for the diff sliders and the Stamina inherient goodness before playing her more, but I think I am now convinced to make the final push to get her Blueside.

Thank you four. I truly appreciate the info.

Hello all.
With the Winter event a few months away, I have started thinking about Snaptooth. In the past I have brought him down with scrappers, but this year I am having fun with Dominators.

What do you think would be a great Dominator combo for soloing the Snaptooth mission, the one that has been around for years and years

Thank you all in advance.
Lisa.

I find most all the levels fun--

1-10 is all about racing to get enough contacts so by level 10 I get the Spelunker mission..issue 19 is going to make this not as important

10-15 is pretty dry so I either do radios if I am in a big hurry to level, or if I am not in a big hurry I find arcs to get merits

15-20 is Faultline and more Radios or Arcs....I love the Faultline stuffs

20-25- I finish up Faultline and move into Striga.I love the Ring Of Peebles power..

25-Croatoa, Ouroboris missions, Radio and Story arcs, and Tips

30-Return to Croatoa.

Hmmm...starting with the end of the Croatoa arcs and ending with level 40, is the stretch I most dislike. Feels like a dry desert to me....except now they have tips and that might work in sweetening it

Good thread.

Lisa.

Hmmm...all my female toons are short, slim..push the sliders all the way to the, err, left?

Reading all this makes me want to cart one off to Icon, and punch the chest sliders all the way to the ..right..left? The bigger side.

Hmmmmm again..wonder if she will tip over with all that unbalanced weight

Lisa-Grinning.

Noooo...I always liked your posts..but I can see the need to get away for a bit.

The owner of the SGs I am in has been playing since beta. About five or so months ago, forgot how long it has been, she sent me a tell stating that she was going to let her subscription run out and play WOW with her husband. She gave Mark and I the red stars to her SGs, even gave me the influence off of one toon....well, earlier this month I was looking at my Global friends list, and there she was, playing on Freedom

So, hopefully, one day, I will open the forums and there you will be

Take care, and hugs.

Lisa.

I too have had problems with TOTing with my lowbie doms..however..to my great surprise and delight..my lowbie Stone/Elec Brute is having a good time TOTing. She leveled from level 6 to level 8 in a very short period of time doing this. I am afraid for what this will do to her contact tree..but so far so good

And yes, Vamps hit hard...very hard.

[QUOTE=DarkMaster;3276397]ave cuz I likes pink-pom-poms"[/b][/i] then your outcome of responses back would have been vastly different./QUOTE]


Whew. I come back to this thread fully rested and sipping a cup of coffee and I find this thread has grown.

Sorry, if I acted silly about my response to Whirling Hands killing Regen. If they do the drunk walk out of my Regen field, well, they are too looped to attack me, so it is all good.

One good thing to come out of my pout born of emotional fatigue from work, after leaving the forums, I logged into the game and created a Stone/Elec Brute. I made her in Praetoria, and she is just awesome. So fun to play, I don't even look at my fury bar.

So if you all see a Stone/Elec Brute named Eppi Center running around on Victory, be assured that the nut behind the keyboard is cackling with glee

Once again, sorry about the tone of my post I made yesterday...but...out of the darkness, came brightness, so, maybe it had to be

Oh, and you can have pink pom poms on any toon now...there is one of the new Going Rogue Auras, Omega I think it is called, the one with the sunburst. Make it on fists only and color it pink. They look like Pom poms to me.

Hugs to everyone here

Lisa-And, hey, it is the start of the Halloween event, and I have the day off, Win
