It's just now players HAVE to accept the user-agreement and cannot bypass it.

The term Munchkin has been around for ages, it's one of those terms that entered the gamers lexicon so long ago no one really remembers (Wikipedia has an explanation but I'd take it with a grain of salt). It's been turning up a bit more on these forums of late due to the new content making the differences between different types of players more obvious.

It should be noted that Jimmy is (as Arcana pointed out) using it incorrectly. Munchkin is an insulting term implying that the person's sole interest is in winning and becoming more powerful than everyone else and is perfectly willing to break the rules to do so. The related terms min-maxer and power-gamer are also not entirely applicable to the sort of people who want end-game content (although they are closer than Munchkin). End-game content does, by it's very nature, require a certain degree of min-maxing since the devs are bound to select a "base power level" that is somewhat above average. But it's perfectly possible to want challenging content without being interested in min-maxing.

We generally do a "state of the game" address around the anniversary mark for the game (April 28th), and I like to call the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas the "dead time" of communication because everyone is trying to cram 5 weeks of work into 3.

Yes, we have all been incredibly busy working on I20 and beyond. Those in the I20 Pre-Beta have seen more of us in their private area of the forums than the rest of the forums have, and that's been noted by you guys (as evidenced by this thread). In 2011 we'll try to do a better job in posting outside of the "private" areas as we want to remain visible and communicative.

That said, the studio is off next week (well, there will still be board moderation), so there won't be much posting ANYWHERE from the devs for a week or so.

Have a great holiday!

The devs need a figurative kick in the face to take action. Perhaps the sub numbers over the next few months as well as the data coming from the two TFs and the upcoming raid will do the job before the game gets too many boot marks and bruises.

We're supposed to get increasingly stronger until she's completely impotent, meanwhile if the devs want to add more difficult content they have to invent all new characters you've never seen before, because once you've beaten the existing characters, they are supposed to run away and never come back.

By the way, you forgot something:

If you make player characters 5% more powerful but make the enemies 400% more powerful, you didn't really make player characters more powerful AT ALL YOU ONLY MADE TANKERS MORE USELESS.


Glad to be of help.

Man, these two TFs are such a thrill!

Do you want to be up front dealing damage or staying back and buffing?

I find that /Kin works best either with Hover and Siphon Speed allowing you to zip around while buffing and attacking at range or use Combat Jumping for the immob resist and play up front and personall dealing massive damage yourself.

If it's the former I'd drop Stone Mastery and pick up a ranged Epic like Fire or Psi.

If it's the latter I'd get Combat Jumping for the Immob resist and Earths Embrace for the extra survivability it provides.

Also why have you got Recall Friend, you have no rez or such?
Teleport Foe would make more sense as you can teleport a held mob near the squishies and use him to heal them.
