Let the teeth knashing begin!

Whom, interestingly enough, I spent half of Double XP Sunday with in a team in RWZ.

You know, I remember that conversation going something like:

Me - "Why don't you have the toggles?"

BA - "A bunch of crap that amounted to him not being able to play with them."

Me - "But they are the cornerstone of the set."

BA - "More crap."

Me - "Speechless."

BA - Typing yet more crap and logging out.

When I was asked if I wanted to join the team next week, I declined, with a comment of not carrying anyone. Now, if that is your idea of "harassment", well ok, guilty as charged. If we didn't have people dying while fighting AVs, I would never have asked, however, not seeing the Rad toggles on an AV did give me pause. That was a longtime ago and I think the last time I gave anyone real hell over a build was a Tank that kept getting a PuG that Si and I joined team-wiped. PuGing as often as I do nowadays, I have learned that as long as a player is at least competent, their build doesn't matter so much. Its still a pet peeve though, which was the entire point of this thread, I believe, before BA and I derailed it.


Now, to be fair, I have spent the past couple of weeks running with a friend's Elec/Shields who decided to take the mez click at 22. The best part was, while he was duoing with a Stalker, the Stalker gave him some hell about not having it, which made us laugh. I also remember the Legendaries' genius (which it was ) idea of running petless masterminds and blasters with rifle options and secondary restrictions as a static team on another server. While I really wanted to participate in that, I never found a combo I liked so I declined.

See, despite my pet peeve, I still have abit of tolerance for it.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Right as always, Jester.

I am sorry if I prefer my teammates to at least have the powers that define a powerset and are capable of playing a particular AT the way it was meant to be played. If you want to carry people along, by my guest, however, I have been done with teammates that don't contribute to a team fully for a long time now. You play your way, I'll play mine and never the two need meet.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Not everyone learns basic competency with the archtype you are teaming with. It happens and I'm sorry, however, I have learned to only butt into telling people about their ATs when they ask for it (Otherwise, I get people like BlackAmaranth who hate me for asking why their Rad Defender doesn't have the Rad toggles at 40+. You really don't even want to know the reply to that ).

The last time I checked, it was my right to decided whom I team with in this game, for any reason. I can't help it if you were offended when I asked why your Rad Defender didn't have the the Rad toggles (the cornerstone of the set) at 41+, however, you let other people carry your gimped character along until you hit 50, (which, I think you did awhile back with that gimped thing. Thank your static teammates for helping you get to 50, since you just wanted to trail in their footsteps to get there instead of contributing to the rest of the group's enjoyment of the game.)

Now, if you don't mind, stay out of my business and don't ever tell me again what I can and cannot do in a game built for my enjoyment. I am done with you in this matter and have reached the end of my patience with your harassment of me in-game. Walk your walk your way and I'll walk mine and may never the two meet again.

This place belongs to eveyone in their own way, not just your way, BM.

Ok, I am getting tired of you insulting me because you prefer to play the game "your way." Go ahead and play your way, leave me to mine and let this be an end to it. You like Rad Defenders without toggles, well - that’s your prerogative. I am tired of you insulting me and hiding behind an internet name. If you have a problem, BlackAmaranth, them you can reach me anytime in a private tell. Unless, of course, confronting people directly bothers you, in which case, here I am. I have gone head-to-head with the best forum PvPers in existence, go ahead and give it your shot and see how far you get.



I am done with your whining. Come and get it.

Its also not anyones place to expect others to suffer through teaming with people that don't take cornerstone powers for an Archtype and hamper everyone else's fun. When I play with people, I don't expect them to be some kind of ultra-elite player that can do everything, however, I do expect basic competency with their current archtype by the 30s.

You know, after taking a Fire Scrapper up to 50 and watching my Fire Tank languish, I am beginning to agree with you on Fire needing a look, from a Tanker prespective.

Isn't this the thruth. All well, I never could kneel for anything, so why start for this.

(I don't kneel in front of baby Jesus' statue, so no beta enticement can make me)

If Ultraa can't help you, find me. I have half a billion laying around and can spare abit for a someone in need.

Welcome to Champion.

Listen to Stark (At least until he becomes a total alcoholic in Iron Man II ).

There's a pint of Southern Blackberry Cobbler in the icebox, Ping.

Most Champion threads always escalate to this level of insanity, so its perfectly normal. A pity we don't have the PvP uber-munchkins anymore. Their brand of forum PvP was hilarious to read and could make a workday fly by.

"Soon" is a month, "shortly" is roughly two weeks.
