very cool thread!


will be following with interest.

I'm all for anything that gets people out of instances and into the open.

they want to make sure everyone sees it.

*shrug*

will check tonight!

yah, that's an ish 23 feature.

And very welcome it is!

there's no reason to ever be in want of super inspos.

step 1: place lowball bids on 10 stacks of some crummy one people don't usually want- oranges and rez's are good.

step 2: collect stacks the next day, combine into 'good' ones.

step 3: stick in base storage for a rainy day.

step 4: rinse & repeat until storage is full.


alternate step 3, pocket change edition: combine into purple defenses & sell for 200k+ each on the market to impatient people.

and after a sizable sample (30-odd packs) I ended up with nearly 1,000 merits and 10 or so ATOs, along with all the other stuff.

*like*

and going forward, add people you enjoy teaming with to your 'friends' list.

After a while you'll have a pretty good list of fun players to check when you log in.

this thread delivers the funny.


They seem intent on allowing some manner of alternative access, which unless it is fairly onerous in terms of $$$ or time or both will undermine the effectiveness of Tier 9 VIP rewards.

I'll be interesting to see how far they think they can go.

also, quick question-

I'm not liking the quality of my screenshots, I think they're going straight to jpg?

I dimly recall some way to change the format, anyone have any hints?

I have a couple of brutes, and I like them quite a bit.

I think I like scrappers a tiny bit more- something in me prefers the stability of always doing quite a bit of damage over sometimes doing not much and sometimes doing a whole heaping wagonload. And I'm really digging the stalker buffs that happened while I was away- stalkers are really good now, no longer one trick ponies deserving only of pity spots on teams.

I log in a brute when I'm in a certain kind of mood, the same way I log in my mind/kin controller when I'm in a certain mood. There's a rhythm to playing them that's either annoying, or tremendous fun depending on how I'm feeling.

as the bounty of Netflix streaming continues to grow, my rule of thumb has evolved from OMG I loved that show, MUST WATCH! to Let Sleeping Dogs Lie.

In general, but especially in the case of stuff from my childhood and adolescence. For every show that's still fun, there are ten that leave me shaking my head in disbelieving agony that I could ever like something so awful.

okay, I've given in to my natural urges, said "the heck with it!" and abandoned all other dabbling to level SilverRage in earnest. You can't fight fate, I guess- he's just too much fun to play.


Running him through Atlas I took on Twinshot's arc again, and ran up against the problem facing content that's more story dependent than action/mechanics dependent- as much as I loved it the first time through, the second time around I'm just madly clicking my way through dialog trees to get at the fightin'. If I'd waited a few months it'd probably be fine, but right now it's too fresh in my mind, like a book I just finished reading.

It's a variation of Hollywood Blockbuster Syndrome- explosions and fighting are pretty universal, intimate dramatic stories are harder to pull off, besides being less translatable to different demographic groups.


Anyway, still a terrific arc, but not one you should play every other week.

Got him through it at pretty close to level 10 & headed to Kings to do a little street sweeping and finish off the level. Leveled & hit up Blue Steel for a photo op:




time to do a bit of marketeering then off to dreamland.
