Psychoti

I PL my characters and I'm not ashamed to say it. The problem is that I just flat-out do not enjoy the early levels of the game anymore. I typically stop PLing at 22, get some SOs, then do some of the great arcs in those levels, then pick up PLing again closer to 30 until I get to 35 or so. If there's a fun TF going on (like ITF or Sutter) I'll join in on those because I enjoy those.


I ******* despise the Synapse TF and will never run it again on any character unless/until the TF is changed.

Did anyone happen to write down the address for the Logitech contest rules? I did not.

Totally forgot about the coffee talk today, dangit. Going to watch the recording now.

So I guess I'm the only one that thinks it looks visually appealing, but very underwhelming in the 'impact' factor? I mean... nothing (except perhaps the geyser/groundpunch thing) looks like it would really hurt any of the targets. Maybe it'll look better in-game with all the sound effects and reactions.

I was not enthused by the XP Booster. But then, I sincerely doubt I'd be enthused about anything short of a character rename/character slot. And that would be bad business for them all around, giving out things that expensive for free.

I think it was a successful test, though. It makes sense for them to give people a "taste" of something that they may decide they like more of. I wish they had the same approach with the incarnate system, maybe letting premiums get a t1 Alpha slot (and limit the amount of salvage they can accrue, of course). Then again, that probably isn't a good idea either.

I'm pretty 'meh' on the whole thing, really. Who does it hurt? Nobody. Who does it help? Everybody, to differing degrees.

I just found this in one of my folders as I was clearing stuff out.

Not sure when I made this, or if maybe someone else did. /shrug. Anyway...



No clue why I'm posting this here, either. Apparently I also have a gif of Arbieber Hawk beatboxing.

When it started on Virtue I logged and read a book. Really not interested in yet another invasion. Really, the whole "spawn enemies on you/groups of heroes" thing they seem to use for every new event is old, old old.

That said, a lot of people enjoy them so I don't expect them to change. If they didn't spam all 4 of my chat tabs during the events then I wouldn't have had to log out, though.

Blue is for suckers.

Totally forgot about the UStream today. Curses!

Edit: Started watching it and looking at the chain mail... who the heck wears their chain mail so tight that you can see every detail of their musculature?


Also, if my chain mail is that tight you are going to see a bulge. It's gonna happen.

Thank you for posting that. I can honestly say I'm not looking forward to those at all (doesn't mean I hate them, I just don't want/need more insp stuff).

I was disappointed that nobody mentioned Brickstown. Brickstown could be a new hub for both Heroes and Villains with an integral focus - the Zig. There could be a new zone event - Prison Riot. New Story Arcs with Heroes attempting to reinforce the Zig and perhaps solve some of the security issues it is having (is the Warden on the take?) while Villains are at cross-purposes with the Heroes (busting out allies or lackeys). New Trial for the Zigg - a former Arachnos power is attempting to foment a riot to cover his escape. Villains grudgingly assist Heroes in preventing this as they have their own interests in keeping the status quo in the Rogue Isles.

There's just a heck of a lot of content that could be brought forward with a content revamp of Brickstown without changing too much of the zone. The only zone alterations I'd suggest would be a Crey Area in the South side, where they have patrols guarding some of their facilities. The rest of Bricks would be taken over by rival gangs and factions that already exist there with each gang/faction having their own 'territory', with NPC battles at their borders. I'd extend the level range to make it from 31-42/43.

I think my sound card is fried, I'm having to go to the store to get a new one + speakers or headset. Seeya later, sucks I'm going to miss this panel

Filk singer LIVE. Yes, Filk. Arbiter Warrant. Mike Simpson.

Wondering if someone will do some play-by-play or bulletpoints. I talked a little about it in-game. Now, however, I'm listening to music videos. Here are some highlights from the Keynote:

(these aren't in order)

-Protean went Ki-yi-yi like a coyote. I'm not exactly sure why, karaoke isn't until later.
-Zwill asks us to try to be surprised when Posi announces the new upcoming powersets Water Blast, Nature Affinity, Bile Armor.
-They ask us to be professional about the colors we use with Water Blast. Fat chance, kimosabe.
-New market items, 'amplifiers'. I didn't hear what they're supposed to do which is somewhat ironic.
-3rd & 4th enhancement trays will be available.
-New costume pieces include new tights, Cyberpunk, and the Leather & Chainmail sets. -Cyberpunk has a new duster/trenchcoat that's in the jackets category.
-New Summer Event will be a "Double Feature" where you and your team are in the movies, playing different roles within the movie. The first is "Casino Heist". The roles mentioned were Theif, (?)ifter, Hitter, and Hacker. Think "Ocean's 4". The second is "Time Gladiator". Couldn't hear much about it other than you can get a Ninja Monkey badge.

Many of the SGs will have contact information in their description at the SG Registrar. Like, "contact @so-and-soface for more information".

Not all the panels were recorded, which was a major beef with some of the people that were unable to attend. I haven't been following the Player Summit news too closely so I'm not sure if they're recording all of them this year, but I know they heard our views on it from last year.

Have you tried running Mids as administrator?
