  1. Sweet! I loves the free art!

    My entrant is my main, Pep Rally.

    This is her most used uniform:

    It's cool of you to do this, even if I don't win, TS.

    After 7 years

    Take care of yourself Dinah. You're truly one of Champion's finest. I always enjoyed teaming with you on Tanker Tuesdays, and PvPin' in Sirens back in the day. I'm still grateful for all the hard work you put into, the Tanker Tuesday 3rd anniversary, one of the best event I've been to in game.

    Take some time off, recharge your batteries, and let some new content come to rejuvenate your love for the game. The same thing happened to me last year after 6 years, and I came back 6 months later, so here's hoping to see you around Paragon again in time.
  3. I've been meaning to respec my Fire/Fire to go for more defense since I tried +HP/+regen on my last build. I'll probably won't take Maneuvers, and Acrobatics, but replace them with Conserve Energy, and Physical Perfection to help with Endurance.

    Tanker Tuesday!

    Sorry I missed this, but I was having some computer problems last week. Kept getting crashes, and blue screens.

    It gave me an excuse to upgrade my 3 year old PC, though. Replaced my E2160 1.80 GHz dual core, and Radeon HD 2600 Pro with a cheap($100@microcenter) Q9300 2.5 GHz Quad-core, and a Gigabyte Radeon HD 6850. Ultra-mode here I come!

    Also got 2 more sticks of 2 GB DDR2 memory, so I had to break down, and get the Windows 7 family 3 pack to upgrade from Windows XP so I can actually use the memory I installed.

    As a bonus, I'll be able to replace Vista (uggh) on my laptop. I sure hope Windows 7 is as decent as I've heard.

    Hopefully, I'll be able to make the next one.
  5. Fire/Fire is definitely good. I made mine when they changed Burn to have a fear effect. I can't remember how long ago that was but Lava Flo made lvl 50 a couple months after creation.

    I just respec'd her today into Pyre, from Earth mastery.

    Tanks rule!
  6. No need to apologize. I think everyone is just happy you're feeling better. We shouldn't be taking your freebies for granted anyways.

    Health comes first. Don't be missing sleep for freebies, either. Besides, I can never stay up 'til the end of your late night streams.

    Taunt/gauntlet is the means to making Tanker self buffs help the team. A good tank's teammates might as well have 90% resistance, 45% defense, and automatically maximize the damage from AoE attacks.
  8. I usually barrel ahead full steam, grab as much aggro with my aura, and taunt, then group them up at the nearest available corner even if it's further ahead, then I start pounding on the boss with ST attacks, with AoEs for Lts, and minions. If any bad guy even looks at one of my teammates, he gets a taunt, and/or a fist/axe/mace in the face.
    When that group is almost defeated, I'm off again to gather the next group. Repeat until no enemy is standing. The End.


    This is pretty much the story of any of my tanks, from my main Pep Rally(lvl 50 Invul/SS) to my newest lvl 27 elec/elec tank, Machine Gal.

    RE: Bounty_Assist- I have a lvl 48 Stone/Stone, and a lvl 50 Shield/Axe. Both are pretty kickass with IO's.

    The stoner is pretty much unkillable while in Granite, but I prefer to not use it unless I need extreme survivability. I managed to get alot of S/L/nrg/Neg defense IO set bonuses so I'm soft capped to those, which makes even non-granite pretty tough. I also went for +run speed which negates Rooted's penalty pretty well. The only thing that bugs me is not being able to jump, so Teleport is pretty much mandatory.

    My shield is an AoE monster. Although, being S/L based hurts damage output against mobs with those resists. Love Shield Charge. You can very easily soft cap, with or without Weave, and the base resists, and tier 9 resist/health boost make you extremely hard to kill. No heal, but you get +Health with a passive, and the tier 9.

    Really, you can make any Tank Primary very effective, so I'd go with whatever you find most fun, or with what fits your concept. The only one I'd warn against is Stone because of not being able to jump.
  9. IRL Gratz, tartyr, on the potential new job. /emote fingerscrossed

    I gotta say I love sketti-o's myself, even though I hadn't had them for like 10 years before this summer when I got some to take camping up in Maine. So good out in the open air. (I had been just making elbows with Prego spaghetti sauce mostly when I wanted pasta.)

    I'm pretty sure there are far worse things for kids to be addicted to.

    Abominations is right. My Transformers collection was rolling over in it's cardboard box when I went to see the first movie. I couldn't even bring myself to see the second one, it looked so bad, and I was a HUUUGE Transformers fan growing up.

    AS for your costume, those are great, Gideon. I made a robot Elec/Elec Tank, Machine Gal, for GR with the new clockwork costume pieces, and I thought she looked pretty cool even though she does look a little like Dot Matrix from Spaceballs.


    Did you see the GI Joe movie? I actually thought it was pretty good. I wasn't as big a GI Joe fan as Transformers, but I wouldn't mind them making another one of those.
    A live-action Robotech/Macross saga movie would be amazing, though.
  11. You're lucky I had a cold that day, or you never would have been able to take me out.

    I'm glad you had fun beating up a little girl.


    Was I a boss, or Lt?

    Hmmm, apparently MMORPGs come first. AS IT SHOULD BE!

    As for free arts, I wouldn't say "no" to any. Or even to trades.

    If you don't feel like tackling Pep again, I have other heroes at the link in my sig.

    WB Cashoo, even though I wasn't around this forum at all last time you were here.
  13. Just wanted to let folks know that Cashoo is live streaming some arts over on livestream.com tonight(for another couple hours anyways), and possibly tomorrow night here--> http://www.livestream.com/piratecashoo

    Read her Journal on DA for details--->http://pirate-cashoo.deviantart.com/journal/36269256/
  14. Wow, how did I miss this thread? I guess I should check the forums more often.

    Pep art trade?

    Well, better late than never I always say.

    And better late posting, then actually finishing the art trades which weren't nearly as late as this post makes them seem.

    I did finish the drawing of Crestant a while back. Pic here-->http://popndough.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2odrfc

    and my side of the trade with ChristopherRobin --->http://popndough.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2owrsi

    Man, It's been so long since I posted pics on here I friggin' forgot how to do it, and I'm too tired to figure it out tonight.

    I hope y'all like me arts, and if anybody is interested in an art trade, I'm always up for one, even if I'm a little slow.

  16. Hey Amy

    I'd love to get in on one of these with Pep. I've never done CoP before. Badges would be nice as well.

    @Pep Rally
  17. Thanks Net for giving out the Prizes, and to all the Tankers for making #72 a blast to attend.

    My team started with 5, and went to PI to do some alignment missions, and was quickly joined by 3 more Tanks. We proceeded to steamroll through the missions until about 11pm.

    Fun time as always.
  18. I wasn't calling you out, or anything. I'm just trying to get ideas for future All-Tanker challenges.
  19. Could I possibly get a stick figure of Pep?

    http://s76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...9-19-15-25.jpg

    I'll be happy to trade a sketch of a toon of your choice in return.

    What's left for us to conquer? I know we haven't done a Hami Raid yet.

    Kahn TF?

    Is the Cathedral of Pain trial working? I've been away for awhile.

    I think we've only done 1 shard TF. Some of those are hard to fit into a Tuesday evening.

    Is it true they are having TT's on the EU servers now? That's awesome!

    Anyways. I hope to see you all Tuesday.
  21. TANKER TUESDAY HAZ COMPELLED ME TO RETURN FROM THE ABYSS!!

    I'll be there, and I'll be happy to lead any TF that needs to be smashed into submission by pure unbridled tankiness.
  22. Just wanted to say thanks for the 67 months of fun champion, and hopefully more in 2011.

    My sub ends tomorrow, and I'm gonna let it slide until 2011 to save up some money for a new computer, and hopefully to rekindle my love for the game with Going Rogue.

    Until then, take care, and please don't feed the Pingus while I'm gone.


    - Pep



    P.S. If anybody wants to contact me over in CO/STO, I'm @Pep_Rally over there as well.
  23. Keep up the good work Tanks, I'll see you all in 2011. My sub ends tomorrow, and I'm taking a break to play some other games (67 months is a long time to play a game), and save money for a new computer for Going Rogue.

    Keep on Tankin' on, and may the squishies always be at your back.

    -Pep

    P.S. If anybody wants to contact my in CO/STO, I'm @Pep_Rally over there as well.



    edit: oh, and keep workin' on that TT plaque for the wall in King's Row.

    Pep art trade?

    Okay, one final rez before my account ends on April 17th. I can still read the boards even if my account is inactive, right? Any art will have to be posted by the recipient/giver until I re-up my account in 2011.

    If anybody would like to do an art trade with me, or heck, just like me to draw their toon, please put your request in this thread. Please put screenshots, character info, and any action/scene you'd like to see them in.

    I'm only making a promise to folks that give me some art in trade. I'll do my best for any others.

    I'll post them on my DA account which is in my sig, where you can also see some of my Toons, if you'd like to draw them. You can also go here: http://s76.photobucket.com/home/POPNDOUGH to see some of my heroes.

    Take care y'all, and take good care of CoH while I'm gone.

    -Pep
  25. Thanks all you's tankers for making my last TT for a while (sub ends next week, and I'm not re-upping until late 2010/early 2011) a fun one(much like the 70+ previous ones I've been to).

    Keep on tanking, and I'll see ya on the flip flop.
