  1. about to hit 72.

    I like the basic gameplay, obviously. They keep adding new systems, some of which I like (the market, AE) some of which I dislike (merits). And I enjoy the forums.


    I dunno, none of that really explains why I'm still here. I ran a CS server and community a decade ago with a bunch of people I still count as friends, but I tired of the game fairly quickly. This one, I still enjoy playing all these years later.
  2. it's a vestige of a system that was mostly abandoned before the game even launched- the only reason I pay attention to it is so I can get appropriate titles for my characters. It strikes me funny that we can still cook up an argument about it even so. =)
  3. there's practically nothing in the game with less impact than your 'origin', and yet we can still whip up a pretty good pie fight over 'what it all means'.

    GJ fellow forumuites!
  4. tl/dr:

    Disrupting salvage is easy, profiting from the disruption is much harder.


    =D

    I'm willing to guarantee they don't, absent some sort of contributing outside event (ToT mobs not dropping salvage, etc).

    Also, see Smurphy's Challenge.

    Mope was pretty much leeching too- usually by the time I found something worth AS'ing it was dead by the time the animation completed. =/

    Oh well, the merits were nice!

    Impervium... =O

    I have alt storage, base storage and the vault stuffed to the GILLS with underpriced rares I snagged over the last week...can't wait for the rikti event to unload then for a ridiculous profit.

    they still add free stuff to the game with every new issue.

    moonfire is a crummy TF, but it was fun teaming with ya anyway.

    Ebil...

    GRATZ!


    A+ screenshot w/distinguished service cluster!
  12. Crazy quality on this pack.

    Went on a rampage of costume editing. Finding a character one or more of these pieces *won't* improve is gonna be a challenge.

    I doubt I'll ever run the aura mish again, and that alone justifies the price tag.

    I mean I could ...but why would I want to?
    After a spawn has been neutered by my various toggles, immobilizes and holds....why NOT leap in and let Hot Feet work its magic?


    There's no right or wrong to what different players enjoy, but from a practical standpoint any fire/rad who avoids melee is wasting a golden opportunity.

    remember who you're dealing with here LM. =P
  16. Love it to death on my fire/rad.


    YMMV.

    This is the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the thread title.

    Even if all I'm doing is hanging out at Wents checking my traps, I *always* see at least one character or read one bio that makes me go "wow, COOL".

    Virtue is the server where most people spend more time on their bio and costume than a random farmer on Freedom spent hitting 'random' and getting PL'ed to 50. *



    *nothing against farmers, but most of them care as much about how they look as I do about what salvage costs =P
  18. free, paid, whatever as long as it happens.

    I'd love this.

    good point- I've been mostly playing my higher level guys lately and forgot about the Oro level restrictions.
  21. got him to 50 the other night, compiling my shopping list- good stuff everybody.

    Last night I dropped a couple of Force Feedback + Rech in Whirling Axe and Pendulum, and on a X8 map they made a substantial impact on his efficiency. Gonna drop the Armageddon chance for fire damage in his aura too, that'll be fun....
  22. mentioning 'price caps' is to Ragman what chanting his name three times is to Beetlejuice.

    I forgot about the mission TP cause I don't have the Mac Pack- yah, that one is pretty dang good too.

    Pocket D was a 'must have' when it came out, but these days.......can't remember the last time I needed it, other than when Oro hadn't recharged.
