Still looking for that 5th Beatle folks.

IT'S ON!
GL HF ALL TEAMS!

In the process of negotiating with people and seeing availability, but we have 3 set atm, possibly a fourth.

If you're looking for a team, want to have some fun and have something you'd like to play, send me a tell ingame @Neuronia or a PM here.

L33t team name inc as well.

PvP only Accolade booster please.
Account-wide, all the +HP, +END, Geas, Megalomaniac/etc Accolades that only open up in PvP zones or Arena.

I'd definitely pay $5 for that.

While I'll never use this new system for Purples or PvPIOs, it will awesome in outfitting my new Electric Control/Psionic Assault Dominator at around level 30-35 once purples are slotted at 50. I'll be well past perma for Operative Renault and Ice Mistral runs...level 20 Miracle in a matter of days? Pure awesome.

My friend and I are using the new Merits likeso:

He cycles Morality missions/Infamy on 3-4 alts.
I cycle on two alts. One of them produces 5 rare recipes per few days, which get crafted and sold or stored.
He buys stuff for my future Dominator, I get stuff for his Spider.

We both get our stuff at the levels we want with minimal marketing, still need those purples somewhow!

@Neuronia, blueside on my main.

Not that this thread hasn't run its course...but if you look back at Arena history, there is a very legit case to be made for casual play and PvP play being encouraged from there.

Back in the day, oh around Issue 6-10 I'd wager, DJ Jester of W00tradio fame used to host a series of free for alls and broadcast them on his web radio program. While these would inevitably descend into kill stealing and so on, you always had a variety of builds and servers show up to compete.

Outside of that, there were Friday/Thursday kickballs where all you had to do is show up and play. Sure, sometimes you'd be fat kid but sometimes a team would also ask you if you'd want to join them...heck I got recruited by Proj ages ago through something like this, and I'd never have met all the interesting/cool/baffling people on Test if I hadn't jumped in.

The point is, if you want to become better or even if you just want to fight different people that might have cool builds or different play strats, Test is usually where you end up, or Freedom or wherever the Leagues are so far.

Really, even the douchiest people on the boards have been more than helpful with builds, advice, IO copying on test, coaching, etc. Are they going to razz you? Sure. But it's part of the 'meta', so to speak.

That said, make some teams, copy to test or Champion or Pinnacle and fight new people. You might find that outside the trolling (which, admittedly, can be hard to get past) there are some pretty cool guys and gals out there.

• The 3rd party line-up taker will ask both captains for their lineups at least 5 minutes prior to the start of each round.

Vigilante.

Revenge on those that have slighted me, punishment to those the courts have treated lightly and gain for myself and the downtrodden.

The new "flasher" emote strategically drops a characters pants, with hands crossed over the funny parts.

Great at parties, even better at Virtue Pocket D!
