  1. Well, back when States and Recluse were best buddies they were basically a pair of pulp adventurers...

    I thought that was obvious given where we live.

    Liberate.....me?

    The devs don't really approve of farming, note that most non-AE missions that became popular with farming have been given timers or made harder, and AE missions speak for themselves.

    That said, there's probably a certain enemy group or two that you may be effective against regardless of mission.

    Ice/Ice Brutes?

    Been plaing my Ice/Axe Tanker and finally hit 30- and now I want an Ice Brute. Ice Melee from what I hear is one of the faster sets anyway, -slow effects can't be as bad for fury building as say, the Disorient effects of EA or knockback from several other sets.
  7. This thread needs tags.

    You know what you must do.
  8. How did this only have one page? I found this through the freakin' tag menu!

    That's funny, Defenders have been complaining that Corruptors will make them obsolete.
  9. Going by the pattern of Silver Mantis and Barracuda, eventually we're gonna have to have a Strike Force where our contact is the Wretch.

    I've got a feeling the devs may have to hire Steelclaw to write it.

    It's called a chain of command.

    And if Silver Mantis and Barracuda are any indication, the other two are likely to be used as Strike Force contacts. Though the concept of a Wretch Strike Force is hilarious.

Note: This phenomena may not be in full force until the Dev Digest is brought back on-line.
    And the thread has a high chance of being subject to thread necromancy several years later.

    Ice Mistral for Patron
    You are aware that Ice Mistral is basically the sidekick of Scirocco? As are Wretch, Silver Mantis and Barracuda to the other Patrons.

    Not to mention at least two of those are Task Force contacts (albeit one through the Mission Computer, lolbases), and can't be regular contacts (for patron arcs) at the same time.

    I still don't see why villains can't get Ancillary pools, especially with Going Rogue coming up. Heroes should be able to get Patrons of their own for that matter.
  14. What is it with the epic loot in every MMO being purple?
  15. Defenders would like to have a work with you about poor inherents.

    I like the idea of increasing self-buff numbers, make Build Up more useful and I'm happy.
  16. Dude, we've been clamoring for power customisation for 5 years.

    This isn't gonna be the only 'but CO did it first' thread is it? Oh dear gawd...

    No, us kids think it's stupid too.
  18. Ah, the ol 'extended trial'.

    You might as well start paying, 'cause before you know it you'll probably be hooked.
  19. That said, openly showing prejudice of any kind, whether it be sexual, racial, ethnic or otherwise, is also a petitionable offense. It sounds like either someone was being a jerk or your friend got confused for being prejudiced. (hopefully they didn't actually show any prejudice)

    This is the fist I've heard of Victory being the unofficial GLBT server, mind you.
  20. Mine's purple and power armoured.

    On this note, I should say that the devs have said they will never raise the level cap. They say it's because they reckon players can already do anything with the powers and slots they have, but it's probably also because raising the cap would make current 50 content either trivial or obsolete, and pretty much break the game.
  22. You can also play AE missions without PLing (gasp!). Although if you're feeling lazy, since AE missions are almost never kill-alls you can stealth them easily for quick and easy XP and tickets.
  23. Oh, I'm totally respecing into Blaze Mastery as soon as I16 hits.
  24. 'Elitism' is pretty much non-existent in this game. You have to be more or less terminally retarded for the average decent player to consider themselves better than you. It's anything but expected to have a load of top-rate gear, and most of the time other people won't even be able to tell anyway. Immaturity isn't too much of a problem- in fact, I'm 19 and feel like one of the youngest people on the board! Everyone's old and crotchety instead.

    First and foremost, the game is about fun. You can create any kind of character you want (as long as it's not a copyright infringement, we don't need another lawsuit), put together a team out of any combination of ATs and powersets (and coming next issue, any level), and basically do whatever you want (within reasonable limits, like don't be a jerkface).

    As for 'raids', this game doesn't really do those. There's the Hamidon Raid, which these days is done mostly for novelty value, and the Mothership Raid, which has mostly costume piece rewards (the best rewards) and has all the strategy of a Zerg rush.
