... and on immidiate further consideration decided 6 slotting jab was idiotic.

Since I started this thread I figure I'll post the build I went with. I optimized for defense, taunt, and keeping myself alive (hence conserve instead of hasten).

I also just slotted basic io's at this point and went with kick instead of punch because I think it looks funny when huge characters kick.

I only use one build on my Inv/SS but mostly because I'm lazy and don't feel like putting IOs into two builds.

As for what that build is, you'll have to pay me to share it with you

j/k ... the normal Hasten, Tough, Weave route (replacing Punch with Boxing) and I have Taunt.

[/ QUOTE ]

I forgot about replacing punch with boxing. Thanks!

If you were going to make a 100% team oriented SS/Inv build what would be your optimal build?

[/ QUOTE ]

This will come off much more snarky than it's intended, but my team oriented build would be exactly like the build I'd be soloing with.

[/ QUOTE ]

Whats with everbody and the word 'snarky' aaround here!?

Anyway... and that build would be...?

Ed: And would you keep taunt in a build you'd solo with?

If you were going to make a 100% team oriented SS/Inv build what would be your optimal build?

I want to use my second build for this and any input would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You know as much as we've gotten at each other in the last couple days honestly Liv you seem like a well intentioned and extremely verbose guy (I've had to look up a couple words you used) that in all probability I'd like in any other context then this thread. I could keep jumping in here and making points or obnoxious posts alike but I've decided not to any longer and let you continue on your thread without my interference any further.

You ALL can chalk this up as a win, or a confirmation I'm a troll, or a surrender or whatever gets you off, but I'll state flatly it's a respectful removal of myself for Liv after some consideration.

I honestly hope to see you in a venue we can get along in at some point.

I guess I'll point out that the straight-jackets are this-a-way, your padded cell is that-a-way, Nurse Ratchet will be by with your meds soonish, and that extra special just for you MrDead we have this nice shiny ball-gag! Never been used! Honest! No, really! Honestly & truly! Can I help you with that?

[/ QUOTE ]

would this be where I run screaming into the night?!

Red = skery

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry Merm. I seem to be doing that a lot lately. It was funnier in my head. I thought I was being blatantly silly.

Also... geeze go into one little meeting & see what I miss!?! Ok... admittedly, I think I'm glad I wasn't here for the blow-by-blow rollout of posts, but wowzers. Did you guys start drinking!?! I hope you at least had the class to drink from a glass. 'Cause you know what I "always" say "The fly-guy does NOT drink from a bottle!"

[/ QUOTE ]

I've been drinking most of the time. Thanks for asking!

[/ QUOTE ]

Glass or bottle? I needs to know!?! An "important" decison hangs in the balance!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Glass. Red-bull and vodka. It's a [censored] to get around this ball-gag though.

Drink it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wait.. how'd you know know I was drinking?
OMG YOU'RE WATCHING ME.

[ QUOTE ]
Who said any of that? I don't like how things are being done, so I'm leaving. That seems pretty ok to me, yeah?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know, I'm gonna kinda miss your icon there...

[ QUOTE ]


*yawn*

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought time itself was proving my argument correct. The dev's aren't kissing your [censored], the game isn't crumbling, Justice hasn't been taken down because of that log out whatever the hell it was...

Ed: Hey I just got on a team here so if you guys could keep it light for awhile that'd be great.

[ QUOTE ]
You've managed to bore me, Dead. Good job on that. I don't put people on ignore though, so I'm afraid I can't help your count.

[/ QUOTE ]

Damn, I thought we were really getting to know each other... guess I was 'wrong' again.

[ QUOTE ]


[ QUOTE ]
ok go.

[/ QUOTE ]

Awesome...

Right, so where did I call you name? Please quote me.

Also, bear in mind that I said earlier upthread that I figured you were a nice fella... of course, you didn't bother with that, did you? I know better than to form a value judgement of someone based solely on their posts online, many people act like complete jerks online but are really nice folks.

Secondly, I started this thread, no one else. Furthermore, I started the thread with an opinion formed by way of my own research in addition to the anectodes of my fellow justicites. Simply because you're in the minority of agreement doesn't mean that the rest of us are guilty of cronyism... but nice try.

Thirdly, if you're going to pick a fight with someone, make sure you can win. So far the only way you've managed to even get my attention, let alone actually counter anything I've said in terms of customer service or of the issue itself, is by behaving like a spoiled child who can't bear to lose an argument.

You're outclassed, outmatched and out-gunned, brother. There's no shame in losing an argument.

The only thing you have left at this point is hostility. You're not even bothering with addressing the issue and justifying your position, let alone making even so much as a dent in my arguments of the topic at hand.

It's sad, really...

But, at the same time, I've been gone a long time and I enjoy a good bit of How-Do-You-Do, so please keep posting, I'm enjoying stomping you into the ground.

[/ QUOTE ]

You guys keep saying I lose but.. I haven't. Your friends are leaving, not mine. You're dissatisfied with the game, not me. You think you're being mistreated, I don't. I can do nothing BUT win. Not to mention I don't personally judge just stating the same crap over and over as being 'stomped into the ground'
I'm sure your clique agrees with you, but then... so? You haven't actually proven anything except you have a large vocabulary and as much time to waste as I do.

[ QUOTE ]
Your parents should buy you a twin to play with.


[/ QUOTE ]

That's a terrible idea. What if the other one just started posting on here to? Knowing me he'd just side with Living to piss me off.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
accurate terms like troll

[/ QUOTE ]

I just call 'em like I see 'em. There are actually people posting in this thread I dislike; you? I have no real opinion of you. It'll take more than snide attention seeking to make you more than a slight annoyance--and even then only in this thread.

Good luck with getting everyone else riled, though. Shouldn't be too hard.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, everybody not in one of your accepted cliques is a troll. I get it. Thank you very much.

The only way to stop the fire from spreading is to stop feeding it.

Awww... muffin...

Isn't he cute?

C'mon, folks, let's give him a round of applause!

C'mon, sport! Don't give up now! Keep posting in the thread, keep telling us how much you don't care what we think! C'mon, Tiger! You can do it!

[/ QUOTE ]

Sweet, 3 chummy nicknames in one post! You really DO like me. -snicker-

The rampant elitism around here really cracks me up. When are you guys leaving again? I want to mark it on my calendar.

[/ QUOTE ]

Heh... "elitism".

We post something you disagree with and you challenge us on it.

We counter your challenge, annihilating your logic and pointing out (albeit unnecessarily) a clearly biased mentality given your work history, not to mention your slavish devotion to being mistreated as a customer... simply because you seem to think that, for some reason, MMO customers have it coming.

And that makes us... "elitist".

You're going to have to try harder than that, son. You're boring me...

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought blindly backing each other up, calling people names, using exclusionary terms like troll.. those were elitist..

Re-read the thread. I'll just leave it at that.

Your turn! Wait lemme get some coffee... ok go.

[ QUOTE ]
Wow Dead your blatant cry for comeraderie and friendship on the boards is...kinda sad actually. I hope you find someone some day. Good luck brother.

Signed, your friend: X9.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm just here to make enemies at this point since any valid points are drowned out by big fat crocodile tears. Sign yourself up now! If anybody puts me on ignore let me know though. I'm keeping score.

I probably hate you.

Just a quick question..


What is the purpose of putting this in the sig? You just go around looking for fights? I mean if thats the case then fine but it just seems a little off for someone posting in a community of people.

This is the first time i have ever seen you post on the Justice boards too. You new to Justice?


Btw PL to your hearts content. I'm sure you'll have fun!

[/ QUOTE ]

First thing that came to mind and it's pretty much true. People are so infinitely hateable (no really it's a word) as can be seen by the posts around here pretty blatantly (yes, including mine). I've been on justice (and several other servers) for years, and I post on any topic I have input on.

Ed: I'm also a leo. I like walks in the park, video games, horror movies, mocking people, lego...

Ed again: I also hate not being able to find the blinkie! Grrr!

[/ QUOTE ]


lol easy there princess, i don't go for tubesteak!

-sob- I thought we HAD SOMETHING!

Thanks!

MrDead,

What do you think that we, as players, should do if we disagree with the service or treatment we have been getting from a game we play a monthly subscription for?

[/ QUOTE ]

Vote with your feet. Vote with your wallet. Call CS. Write the dev's mail. But yelling and ultimatums and threats, well, they just have the opposite effect and make people like me talk on the forums. You don't want that
now do you?

[/ QUOTE ]
Some of us are voting with feet and wallet, but this is a community we value and discussion of events among your peers is normal and healthy. You aren't posting here as an affect of our actions, you're posting here because you want to or feel you need to. Why, I'm not sure. That's your deal.

[/ QUOTE ]

For every action there... eh nm. I actually am posting as a direct result, but whatever.

Ed: Somebody get the kids with the argument over the word 'direct' in here while we're at it.

[/ QUOTE ]
Sorry, but wrong. Nothing I or anyone else has posted is making you be here. You're 'choosing' to post. Whether for a misplaced comrade in development perspective, just to air your disagreement, or simply to be obnoxious, I couldn't say.

[/ QUOTE ]

Soooo.. what you're saying is.. if these posts didn't exist, your argument wasn't here, and this thread had never been posted... I'd still be here making this post? A simple yes or no will do. Thank you.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, what he's saying is that you're posting here of free will, which means that either you care about the game and the developers, and think they did the right thing, or you're merely being obstreperous for the sake of being obstreperous.

If it's actually the first of those two possibilities one might find some degree of admiration for you, but you eliminated any possibility of that with your fairly acerbic and caustic feelings about MMO players (of whcih you are one, by the way)... but the reality is that your mentality is, well... to paraphrase;

"MMO developers have a right to abuse their subscribers because they can't be trusted and because they're no more than children. In effect, MMO clients have it comin'... and they deserve whatever they get. "

This really is pretty basic logic and comprehension, dude. It's pretty clear why you were in QA instead of programming...

[/ QUOTE ]

All of which is STILL a direct result of you guys going on and on. Damn this is funny. Oh yeah, way to go there again guy! Keep 'em commin'!

Ed: Hey try an slip how you think Posi's fat in again on your next reply. Stick to the high road brother.
