I'd still do it on my 50. Why? Weekly TF/SF gives Notice of the Well.

It's that simple. Obviously I won't do it multiple times, since there's no point. But there is still a point to doing it at least once.

Dunno about you, but I'm not playing to be challenged by +8 enemies in every mission and task force. Level 50 enemies con blue to me now? Who cares? It's not like the game is suddenly less fun because of it.

I laugh at people who say stuff like this, because obviously everyone is a team forming genius who enjoys forming their own teams all the time regardless of what level they are and never, ever want to join people who already have a team going.

By "creative types" does that mean: adding ' , . " any type of punctuation? See quote.

Does that mean coming up with a weird misspelling, or using a capital i for an l ? See quote above.

Or do you mean looking at a thesaurus and finding words that mean the same thing? Because then that becomes a different name altogether.

Do you mean putting the name you want in a translator and turning it into another language? Some people like the way a name sounds, not just "oh that's a cool name regardless of language." So that's out, too.

So yeah, I agree that good names are hard to come by. I know there's a few names I want that are taken by people who don't intend to ever play again, and yeah, I've even tried the name thread to no avail.

I'm with other people who say if you haven't been playing/paying for X number of years, you shouldn't take name priority over people who are currently paying now. If you've been gone for 3 or more years, chances are you aren't coming back; give your names up to people who actually play. Do you not have a global handle? Same as above.

It also seems like most people here who are against name purges are thinking that the moment names get purged they lose their character completely. You don't. To my understanding, NC has made it so if your character's name has been "freed" but has not been taken by the time you log in again, nothing has changed. If your character's name gets taken, you just have to rename them. Your character isn't deleted or anything like that.

Even a blaster with sets that don't have aim/build up?

This is why I normally avoid the virtue forums, after all

It can be a good place to find information, but most of the time....Nah.

It's to show you just how powerful you become. So technically, your character is so powerful they can hurt statesman and recluse through their god mode powers.

Gameplay wise though yeah, they had to give you a temporary power that gives unresistable damage, since the damage cap is still in place so they couldn't give you +10000000000000% damage. Well, they could, but it would cap off at 250-500%

"I got really lucky with shard drops, getting 12+ shards in two hours just from regular missions, so therefore NOBODY ELSE has problems"

Bad way to think, sir.

Please stop posting things like this...It doesn't add anything to the conversation.

For the record, I ran an ITF last night that took 2 hours and only got 2 shards. where's my alpha boost? I thought it was soo easy. I spent the same time as you did, after all.

Note: I already have two incarnate boosts from running ITFs and LGTFs, so that 2 shards thing is just an example.

People who want to see bonuses already have the tools at their disposal to see exactly what numbers they have. There is no other reason why you'd want to see somebody else's set bonuses down to the bare numbers unless it was to compare your character against theirs, or use it against them.

You don't need to see other player's numbers in different attributes. No point in trying to want it now, since we've all gone 10+ issues without being able to, and we didn't have problems.
