My Thug/FF Mastermind, loved him to bits, got him to 32 but then I rolled a Kat/WP scrapper.. Never played him again.. Good thing is I got back into my dark/thermal corr

[/ QUOTE ]I have a similar lvl Thug/FF MM, and most admit that I find it really hard to lvl him, I just log on, do a mish or 2 then he goes back in the box for another 2-3 weeks.

Only had 3 50's until the last 2 weeks, where I finally got my Kat/DA scrapper to 50 (been a long time coming) and my most recent scrapper DM/Shield.

I did make a brief mention in the scrapper section in March about superceeding alts, so pre-empted this thread. I still play my 50 Claws/Regen, but find DM/Shield as so much more fun.

Both my other 50's are rarely used now, My Tank and my Brute, as more interested in getting other ATs to 50, including my stone/stone tank (not long had Granite Armor) which has made him much more enjoyable (but still suffers from high end use), as previously he has been a very slow leveler, like my son/son Fender.

Only one really big-ticket item (the chance for +Heal/+End one, which is currently going for around 350-400 million making it the second most expensive IO blueside after the PVP +3% Def one) which hasn't sold yet. But even discounting that, I've made roughly 1.5 billion influence in the past week from farming PvP IOs in the afternoons... it's certainly currently a nice little earner...

[/ QUOTE ]

Seriously does ANYBODY want to farm these with me?

[/ QUOTE ]That's the quickest way for the dev's to nerf something, suggesting that you're going to farm them on an open forum . I can see arena zones being excluded from PvP recipes very shortly, if indeed ppl begin to intensively farm them.

Looking to get my empath nearer to the big ding, so was wondering if anyone fancied doing either SSTF2, SSTF3 or SSTF4.

Ideally I'd prefer SSTF3 as I don't have the badge on that character but happy to do any of the 3, depending on what interest there is.

All 3 of these taskforces are for characters lvl 44+, and involve rularuu...

Please state what toon you're interested in bringing, and state in what order you prefer for the TF's

1. Cepheus - 48 Empath/NRG Fender - (1)SSTF3 (2) SSTF4 (3) SSTF2

[ QUOTE ]
I tried abandoning my other quest but its a chain too

[/ QUOTE ]Please confirm contact name and current mission that they have given you. Once we know these details we can confirm or deny your experience, and how to overcome it.

[ QUOTE ]
and I tried speaking to a GM to clear my old mission but he wasn't able to do so

[/ QUOTE ] i'd be very surprised that an ingame GM couldn't overcome your problem, however, if they couldn't then it would be forwarded onto someone in support that could.

[ QUOTE ]
I still have the last stage to speak to a non-existent NPC.

[/ QUOTE ] Contact name? Only one that would be a problem is Father Time, as all other ones are still around.

Regarding other stuff previously mentioned. Kill X missions would take hardly any time to complete, especially if you can find those enemies in a lower lvl zone (grey enemies), that can be defeated very quickly.

The only arc that has been a pain for me is the Montague Castanella one, where I duo'd it with a friend so my empath could gain access to Cimerora. We did my friend's missions, so I never got the salvage myself, and thus couldn't create the lost wand, so that mission is stuck on my empath, and I haven't got a GM to get rid of it yet.

[ QUOTE ]
not yet listed on Badge-Hunter.com?

[/ QUOTE ]The badge description under accolades, does state that you need the professor badge to get it. It has stated this for the last 2 weeks or so, not sure if it was there at time of launch, as didn't check.

On a different tangent, pre-congrats on getting 700 badges, I imagine you'll have that milestone by the next bank holiday.

If you made it 18:30 then I could help with my ill/rad troller. But if you can't change the time I'll understand.

On another point, you have got the contact unlocked haven't you?
Someone on the team needs to have done the entire hollows arc, to open up the contact.

[ QUOTE ]
I haven't played this game in 2 years

[/ QUOTE ]Obviously the bus full of village idiots is no longer lost

[ QUOTE ]
until I'm finally allowed into group content?

[/ QUOTE ]Group content missions? please inform us what these are?

[ QUOTE ]
I'm allowed three missions, which I can't quit

[/ QUOTE ] Can't quit missions? have you even looked for the "drop current mission" option. Go see the relevant contact, all will become clearer

[ QUOTE ]
and if I complete any of them another one just sprouts up to replace it

[/ QUOTE ]Not every mission automatically opens up a new one, it depends on the contact and arc involved.

Brilliant until "They can't have my stuff! You never know... I might just be back some day.". So many people would have formed an orderly queue for that lot .

Seriously though, I don't want to be a DOOM mongerer, but it does appear that lots of long time players are starting to call it a day. I too will be leaving soon (July/August), if not before (Champions Online)... but mainly because of RL issues, a new baby is going to take up my time!

But I would also like to see Hamidon replace the earth statue which Atlas is carrying....

[/ QUOTE ] That would be THE most epic thing to happen ingame ever!!!
COSSIE CONTEST UNDER HAMI! Last one to die wins!

[/ QUOTE ]Good idea, if only we could implement this via the MA system.

Look someone has to do it..
The cake is a lie.

[/ QUOTE ]The cake is a Nemasis Plot!!

[/ QUOTE ]That's it, you've gone and angered the steam giant by spelling his name incorrectly. We're all gonna suffer now as hoards of his minions discend upon Paragon City and the Rogue Isles, bringing cake and badges.

BTW Happy Birthday CoX

1:53 indeed, and very few deaths. Hami was the cause of these mainly, but with an empath, a pain corr et al.. the taskforce breezed along effortlessly, even with a newbie virgin aboard the lady grey gravy train.

If feedback was mandatory, it would stop things like this a lot easier!

[/ QUOTE ]One word: "kjsklwqr"
Enforced feedback doesn't work on the Internet.

[/ QUOTE ]NC has already stated that votes will be monitored. Making feedback mandatory would significantly ease the monitoring.

[/ QUOTE ]Generally I leave feedback when I rate an arc, most of it is generally constructive, but I have also rated arcs and left no feedback, for whatever reason.

Some unimaginative arcs should be given negative feedback, but it's time consuming and frankly why should I bother to comment on an arc that someone has written in 10 minutes, and is just poor, I just rate them 1 or 2 stars and move on. Never ever given 0 stars, even if it's shockingly bad.

Forcing people to leave feedback, will lead to more negative comments, rather than positive or constructive ones, in general. Some people give feedback every time, others don't give any, it's the beauty of living in a free speech society.

On the flip side though, I can see why genuine authors want feedback. I'd rather know what works and what doesn't on ones that I write, but forced feedback is a step backwards IMO.

[ QUOTE ]
Swapping to my main account to see if it's been banned or something, I find that it is unavailable as 'One or more of your published arcs have been marked invalid. Most likely restrictions on published arcs were changed and your arc no longer meets the guidelines. You can fix the errors and republish.'

[/ QUOTE ]Know the feeling, this happened to me, and couldn't for the life of me work out why? so I ended up changing some of the content, which it now appears that I didn't need to do, as the "bug" is being/has been fixed.

Any Villains interested in this? Must be lvl 45+

Dont post on this thread please, POST here. Thanks

Anyone up for a Lady Grey Taskforce on Saturday at 2.30pm BST.
All ATs welcome.
Must be lvl 45+ now, since the i14 launch (apparently).

1. Cepheus - 45 Emp/NRG Fender

[ QUOTE ]
Will ding 50 with Scary Girl in about 5 minutes...

[/ QUOTE ]Sorry I couldn't stick around for that, saw the lvl 49 one if that compensates a bit. Gratz mate.

[ QUOTE ]
wow, so thats it? all my stuff is gone for good?

[/ QUOTE ]Obviously you won't be caught out again, once bitten twice shy and all that. Surprised that you would store anything in the AH, unless of course.... a) you are active constantly or b) your personal (on self) recipe inventory was full

Wehey it's up....!!!!














Sos, got all excited.
got past password, chose alt then BANG....DOOM!
The building is actually on fire...!

Doo doo doo doo... doo doo doo doo doo!

Used well, eviserate can be very effective with multiple targets.

[/ QUOTE ]Eviscerate is now single target. No cone.

[/ QUOTE ]Realised that just after posting, but was in a rush to get home... from work, and didn't have a chance to correct my error yesterday. My bad

[ QUOTE ]
With the vast numbers of combinations and possibilities, I'm sure if you're that unhappy with the way your character is performing, a reroll to something else isn't out of the question. We've all had to do that for precisely the same reason, I'm sure. I have two accounts and probably 20 characters, across both servers on each. I've probably lost count of the number of characters I've deleted because the sets didn't really work or simply because I just didn't like them very much. (interestingly, one of those was a claws / sr stalker back in about i9 which I deleted at level 33)

[/ QUOTE ]I'm sure with all been there and done that SteelRat, I certainly have. Binned far too many to say, but regret binning my 17 Ill/Kin Troll, prior to i9, and I'm sure that would have been prosperring by now. Also binned my claws/regen stalker... as it was too boring, after already taking a claws/regen scrapper to 50..
