  1. I'd probably reccomend villainside as more newbie-friendly than heroside. It's more linear, easier and lacks all the annoying artifacts from an age where MMOs were expected to be anything but user-friendly.

    Still not as crazy looking as the Rikti swords.
  3. Detention Field can be useful while solo, or in truly dire straights. Otherwise, it's really not worth the trouble.

    Fly used to give -acc, I'm still not used to the idea I can hit stuff with fly toggled instead of hover.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    As did Group Fly. There's a reason using that power is considered griefing.

    No, I just like saying doom. I am DOOM, the self-proclaimed 5th horseman of the Forumpacolypse.

    We already have a DOOM.
  6. Finally!

    MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA*crash* ow.
  7. I'm pretty sure they have different powers, though they would share a few 'giant mech' standard attacks.

    The Longbow and Arachnos Heavies probably have more in common.

    I tend to play 3-4 hours a day

    ... With respect, you may be on the high end of "hours played per week".

    [/ QUOTE ]
    It depends, I play about that much but most of it is spent goofing around.
  9. As for soloing, you're in luck, this is one of the most soloable games around... though at low levelsespecially, it'll depend heavily on your AT and powersets. Scrappers and Tankers in general solo fairly naturally (scrappers pick it up quick, Tankers are a little slower), Blasters are good too but require some strategy. Defenders and Controllers require some unconventional thinking to solo.

    But generally, everything can be done solo by a competent enough player. The Hollows is easy. Of course, old vets will tell you about the days when the Hollows was just as bad as Perez Park, a proving ground for newbies...
  10. No, nobody else reads them either. You've read one forum ruleset, you've read them all.

    Poor Sally, she's just minding her own business and everyone still wants a piece of her. Twice.

    definitly, I am gonna call PETA or I guess it is PETM in this case maybe even HETM(Heroes for the ethical treatment of Monsters)

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Best to make sure you got heroes, I think PETA are trying to be the animal equivalent of the Devouring Earth.

    Can I be like you when I grow up if I try hard enough?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    No. You have to grow down. And eat more sugar.

    Are you for or against the inmates running the asylum?

    They'd be the experts.

    Can I love the smell of naplam in the morning and still be a pacifist?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Yes. What's stopping you from blowing up random objects in the morning?
  13. ...most Tankers should know the value of buffs and debuffs better than anyone.

    You teamed with a moron who happened to be playing a Tanker.
  14. Redside needs more love. That's not exactly a mystery.
  15. Easiest way to transfer influence is to do it in the form of liquid assets- Rare Salvage is valuable and fairly stable.
  16. Farming is probably your best bet, especially come next issue if you have a good build. If you don't get any purples, at least you'll get plenty of other stuff.
  17. Info kiosks are one of those things like hazard zones and mission-unlocked stores that are relics from obsolete MMO design that nobody actually liked, and this was handily missing from redside.
  18. Either someone trustworthy (or too rich to bother robbing you), or set up a personal base with storage bins.

    5. What sound or noise do you love?
    The American Anthem... the sound of the flag flapping in the wind... the screams of Miss Liberty when I made her see fireworks on that one fourth of July... wait! Stop tape! Are you SURE about that editing thing?!


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Dude! Miss Liberty is his daughter!

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Sheesh.. who in the heck was he involved with then? I thought his wife was Miss Liberty.. this is the second time my mistaking this particular bit of the lore has messed up this joke and turned it twisted..

    Not that I'm not twisted anyway.. but I really prefer to be INTENTIONALLY twisted.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Ahaha. Maiden Justice, aka Monica Richter. Their daughter was Miss Liberty, her daughter is Ms. Liberty.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    And yes, THAT Monica Richter, sister of Lord Recluse.

    Family reunions are also known as epic battles.
  20. In this game, the only thing you really need in a team is for less than half of the team to not be retarded. And if you've got a good enough build, not even that.
  21. These things could have a game-crashing bug and people probably wouldn't notice for weeks.

    Lol It's hard to tell sometimes... especially now with the Witch Costumes running rampent all over the place.... and that outfit shows alot of skin!!!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, that magic pack was much more "Halloween costume sexy witch" rahter than "wicked witch."

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I think that's the only kind of witch you ever find these days. Look at stuff like Charmed, or anime.
  23. Steelclaw, your brilliance outshines us all once more. Do Lord Recluse!
