  1. Just let me know when to practice. I have an extra apoc proc kicking around if anyone needs that.
  2. LRSF/STF.

    Can be blitzed in 25-40 minutes, give an SHO and are fun to play as well.

    Also this. Can be done in 20 minutes or so, not bad at all.

    Please let this be Psypunk, Hot Heals or Vinnie.
  4. Given that Fat Kids is much like the Bildeberg Group, if it was renamed to the Bildedoublepounderberger Group and thus incredibly elusive to track down (target) or eliminate (kill), except on those odd off nights, and seeing as I'm now without a team, I humbly request my candidacy be examined.

    I can bring:

    Grav/TA Controller
    Ill/Emp Controller

    Qualities:

    I can sometimes heal people on time.
    I spam Entangling Arrow like a 6-year old on pop rocks.
    I go out of my way to Wormhole even when it isn't an appropriate play.
    I can also help with IOs, to a degree.

    Please consider my candidacy if there are openings as teaming with Sep, Myrm, Bud and the gang would be hilarious, not to mention the incessant stream of forum memes. Good luck in the league
  5. So just for kicks I made a f2p account to see how much "better" it was.

    I couldn't send tells, didn't have Controllers, Masterminds or a bunch of other powersets. I couldn't join SSAs or even use Broadcast chat. No inventions either. So I spent five dollars and got tells and trades.

    Then I logged in to my eight-year account and I had...EVERYTHING. Now, not all players will have eight years, but even if you had lapsed after four or five years you would still have a fair amount of gear available.

    And getting stuff shoved down my throat? We're verging on slap in the face territory here. I don't often ROFL on the forums, but that's a BIG ROFL.
    I have done one of the heroside SSA 2. I ocasionally do the new story arcs they launch. I mostly just use IOs for pvp and pve...and Incarnates. Oh, I get 550 points a month, which is nice. Right now I have two reward tokens unspent and 1257 points sitting there unused. I got Nature Affinity on my secondary account but...I haven't used the Tier 9 power yet and I have been exemplared for task forces but it doesn't play well at levels 20 or below. I may well be a powerhouse at level 50, but this looks like a skip for the main account.

    I certainly would never go back to a free account. It's too limiting and I can affored the 30$ per month...plus a 15$ more every now and then. And I *do* use server transfers when PvP league form or when I need ot move an alt to show a friend new stuff/costumes/incarnates, as I did with Samuel_Tow who wanted to see the various Judgment powers.

  6. Mind/Cold Controller or Fire/Energy Dominator.
  7. Skpped Spores, the Rez and the hold.
    Everything else looks pretty good.

    Any hint of regret that I may have in the future over my decision to return has just vanished into a subatomic smudge.
    There's a trial tied to the zone, Dilemma Diabolique. And you get to finish off Tyrant in the Magisterium...which conveniently unlocks the new Hybrid slot.

    Welcome back.

    I just want to point out that virtually every single popular super hero is a TankMage to some degree. They can fight, they can sustain themselves in battle and depending on how much leeway you give for the definition of buff/debuff support, they do that too.

    Indeed the very definition of a super hero involves being super powerful. That involves a wide range of skills and powers. Even super heroes with an extremely narrow suite of powers find ways of using them to a huge range of effect. The Flash only possesses super speed, yet he has found application for this as direct damage, crowd control, and even buffing teammates by granting them temporary speed with the Speed Force.



    .
    Nice try Johnny. You hid your message as a cryptogram but a little parsing made it plain to see. Better luck next time!
  10. Don't look at what you have.

    Instead, make a freebie account and see what you DON'T have:

    No IOs.
    No Chat channels.
    No tells.
    No vet attacks.
    No Incarnate system.
    Limited inspiration drops.
    Reduced inf cap.
    Limited costumes.

    Right now you aren't noticing a change because you have everything you did before and some perks. Start fresh to see how limited you really can be.
  11. Title says it all, want to trade two crafted 50 Glad Jav Procs for any two crafted purples.
    Will trade "in person" or email trade.

    PM me here or pst @Neuronia ingame, thanks.

    Once again, ALPHA only and I believe we have met our quota for Stalkers.

    NO DARK OR ELEC HOLDS!
    Though I am presently on a team (or will be), I'd just like it stated that this is the one of the few teams I'd love to be on.

    Go fat or go back!

    I agree.
    We still need some sort of schedule and ranking scheme (points per win, draw, points for matches won) unless we are doing a round-robin of whoever shows up.

    Well there is one week and a half for PIP3R to get a finalized ban list, roster size, trading rules, league play rules (map selections, 3 matches or best out of 3), match dates and prizes (if any) as well as playoff format.

    I'm guessing at best we have a few matches Sunday of next week, but more likely it starts after Labor Day and ends mid-late October.
  15. Skilled:
    • Knows how to use their powers (Hurricane with Melee is fine if you brush opponents for the ToHit Debuff, or Herdicane)
    • Can speed if needed, or mow if needed
    • Won't repeat impossible tasks (Hello, you who invited to a Praetorian kill team and everything was PURPLE and you refused to lower difficulty despite multiple team wipes!)
    • Will adapt to team ability (see above)
    • Can direct/follow in trials, know your role
    • Can make everyone's gaming a bit more fun..
  16. Just finished an hour and ten minute Synapse.

    Slax and Bug are the rawrsome TF runners. We had my SJ/Fire Brute, Bug's Spine/SR, Slax had a Water Blast, one afker and I think a Defender of some sort. Smaller teams = smaller maps = smaller spawns, was a total breeze.

    Elusivity buff to Elude please.
  18. Duoing ITF, LRSF and Master Tin Mage on my perma Mind/Fire Dom with my friend's perma Mind/Psy Dom was pretty crazy fun.

    Epic = me taking on endless swarms of stuff and just ending them.

    1)Find a Natural SO store
    2)Yellow = Accuracy, Red = Damage. Place these in attacks with some light blue for end redux. Put light purples (Resist damage, called Dragon's Scales) in your toggles with Military Encouragement as well.
    3)Change every 5 levels until you go to 50 and can slot IOs.

    Welcome to Carnageville. I went Street Justice/Fire just to gimp myself, it's worked a bit...

    Yeah, Defenders need something.
    Wish they had a damage buff dependent on teammate status...IE if you are buffing well, you get an incremental +ToHit/+Damage, or debuffing well, to reward non-HEALZOR play.

    Yeah this...I don't think I've ever had more than 20 billion cash, but I have bins full of purples, Hamis, pricy IOs etc. My inf is always working for me. At the moment I consider myself "Working Poor" liquid inf wise, but "Comfortably Off" with the stored stuff.

    Come on "Clarissa", at least have some Paragon Protector Elites with you or something.

    I agree with this, shorter league is better...because it's inevitable teams will drop from drama/boredom (there's already drama going on and the league hasn't even started ) so yeah.

    I totally disagree with this though, and though some teams probably will account share, no one is getting my account info and no one has in the past. You can police this (to a degree) by having everyone on the same vent server in different channels like we did in CriticalKat's last league, or in the Victory league.

    For trading, there should definitely be a time limit for roster changes (last two or three weeks before playoffs) and no one should be traded without their knowledge/assent/consent, to avoid friction and stuff. If there are rules for trading you might want to make sure people can/can't play so a disbanding team doesn't just grab EVERYONE on another roster before a playoff game or something...not that this would ever happen.

    P.S. Also thought that this started Sunday of next week...so yeah, let's get a date written in stone please.

    Yeah, at the time my PC was slooooooooooooooow so that cost us at leat 2-3 minutes heh!

    It's funny you mention Hydra farming because I was on a four-person PuG Hydra Trial the other day with a Peacebringer, my Scrapper, a Dark Defender and a Willpower Tanker (Our lead wasn't 50) and we were joking we should tell people to farm Hydra during then upcoming 2xp...

  25. Incredible kid, all the best to you all.
