"I have good news and bad news. The good news is there's a client here with a giant order..."

Ashe! It's good to see a familiar face =D Look forward to seeing you in game.

Hello everyone. I'm just returning to the game after close to a year hiatus and I was wondering what is happening in the City/Isles. Is this still a strong RP server? Where do I look for RP now? Is the game still welcoming to the individual player or should I go guild hunting? Does Ascendant still have the same agent? Any plans community-wise for the release of "Going Rogue"?

I look forward to seeing you all in game and thank you in advance for any replies.

Good one!

That would be great, thank you very much. I will PM you here to make arrangements.

Hello everyone.

I was looking for someone who could help me do a trade and an SG mate said that the forums would be a good place to ask. I'm looking to trade of 220,000,000 of my influence for 200,000,000 of their Infamy. That's not a typo, as I believe 10% seems like a fair price for the help I would be getting. If you find that you are able and willing to help me with this, let me know here.

Thanks in advance, and a general thanks to Virtue for reminding me what it's like to ENJOY an MMO.

Final update, I have gone and tanked him, and like a champ IMO, unfortunately the rest of the group had some issues with keeping the repairman away, and when the only blaster decided to quit to have a cigarette rather than just ask to take 5 (which would have been fine with us) we decided to call it, final count, we had him down to 10% when the flier showed and people panicked. But I tanked him, and did it well =D

I know I'm still a new face to most of you all, but I was pleasantly surprised with the powersets brought about in City of Villains when it was released. With how much NCsoft seems to care about their players (especially compared to other MMO companies like FunCom and Mythic) I have no doubt that while these are the first officially announced powersets, they won't be the only ones.

I was holding out for maybe a new AT or two, but with the concept of freeing the existing AT's from the constraints of red- or blue-side, I suppose I should put too much into those hopes (that and for the life of me I can't think of a single type of new AT that would feel new, and not just a rehash)

At the current rate of inflation, that's my $672.19 worth.

Just an update:

Again, I want to thank you all for your words of encouragement. Since I posted this I still have yet to find a team willing to go the whole distance. Last night was the fist team I was able to get on, and while I feel I did an admirable job, the group kept deciding to reset after a squishy got oneshot-ed by the Thorn tree. It was around 4 am when we finally called it. I have done the Reichsman TF, and proud to say that I tanked him like a champ, holding him and the other AV's attention without the need to trip "Unstoppable."

Needless to say, I'm feeling much more confident, and Blazing Tiger, I somehow missed your invite, thank you for the offer and expect to hear from me this week.

As Hobo Healer would say:
Cheers!

Thanks for the input everyone, you've given me a lot to mull over. Most important of which is: <ul type="square"> [*]There is a difference between the Statesman TF and the MoSTF (and I can see where I fall short of the playing experience to do the latter)[*]I have either been getting the minority of folks who think that only Stone tanks can do it or folks who are looking for an MoSTF rather than an regular version.[*]I need to learn the "numbers" for this game (something that I had been trying to avoid)[/list]
Thanks again for the input and in helping me find out what I still need to learn!

As for the offers to join various group runs, thank you for those as well, I would be happy to join you folks.

Oh, I didn't have an issue with the ITF, I've done that one as well the Lady Gray TF easily. But I'm talking the STATESMAN TF here, not TF, I appreciate the words of support, but my issue is not even being given the chance to try.

Yeah, I was stuck as well... when is the next one gonna happen?

I've been playing CoX since Dec. 2004 in an on again/off again manner, the one thing that always made me feel I could come back was that unlike most games, all aspects of the game evolved and changed, not just the "endgame", and there never was the hidebound mentality of "You need X and only X to do Y, and nothing else will succeed." Apparently that has changed as well.

In the past month and a half of trying, I've been repeatedly told that there is no point in my Inv/SS tanker trying to tank the Statesman TF, that ONLY stone tanks can do this. Now, this isn't a month and a half of trying the TF and not succeeding, this is a month and a half of not even being allowed to try because I'm not a Stone Tank.

If this was an alt, I wouldn't care, but this is the character who was my first character, not just in CoX, but the first MMO character I have ever played. He's the one I play best, who I have spent 90% of my time and inf on, and the one I love to play and has had most of my creative energy expended on.

So I need to know:

Is this a fluke, and I'm only getting input from people who think that for some reason Stone is the only "true" tank, or are they right, and the character I made now obsolete as far as the reason he was created in the first place, to tank?

The Ethereal Containment Tether Operations Suit, or the E.C.T.O. Suit.

The General Hazard Operations-Spectral Tenant, or the G.H.O.S.T. Suit.

Non-Corporeal Spectral Organism Focal Transference Suit, or the N.C.S.O.F.T. Suit

Just wanted to say hello.

I renewed my account yesterday when I realized how much I had missed this game. I was on for a bit in October, but a sudden and unexpected hospital stay ended that prematurely. For any who might remember me I hope to see you again (providing that you thought well of me that is ) and for those of you I do not know, I look forward to meeting you.
