Quote:Don't bet on Manticore dying. There have been some strong indications that he will be around after this SSA is over. If you have beta access (i.e. if you are VIP), the thread may still be accessible in those forums but I haven't looked in a while.Originally Posted by Black_Wildfire_EU
If we go up against Wade in the final part, will Manticore sacrifice himself? -
Quote:Does it make sense to sort villains any other way? It's not particularly interesting to fight villains that are weaker than the ones we just defeated...Originally Posted by Coyote_Seven
So then the devs really are employing the sorting algorithm of evil.

Well now why don't we fling the Praetorian Hamidon right at this Battalion and have them fight each other?
That would work for me! -

LOL guess I'll be able to get a bunch of converters when they go live without using any real life money then.

For weekly, I have a handful of characters that I run through the first WWD arc every Sunday morning. When there is a new WWD arc added I run through that once on each toon, in addition to the first one. Takes about 8-10 minutes per toon, so roughly an hour to an hour and a half every week. Been doing that ever since WWD #1 came out and I'm closing in on 200 villain merits spread across those eight characters (I expect to hit it this week, actually)
My only daily routine involves hopping on for five-ten minutes before and after work to do marketeering. (claim inf from sales, collect filled bids for raw materials, craft, list them for sale, and place new bids for raw materials.) I have been lazy about that lately though, and often miss two or three days in a row.
I also have three weekly scheduled SG/Coalition teaming times (Sunday, Monday, & Thursday) but that's always something different - most often a TF/SF but not always. -
A buddy of mine reported a Drizzt clone a few nights ago and got a GM as well. We just figured it was a slow night...

Wow those are awesome. I'll have a Desdemona please! I promise not to lose this one.
Forum handle for the name works for me. -
Quote:The only way to get early access to pistols and demons was to pre-purchase GR on the NCSoft store. It wasn't a pre-order where you make a deposit. You had to pay the full cost up front. And it was only through NC, not third parties.Originally Posted by Pebblebrook
Don't suppose there's a number to that "many", just so i can add to my notes.
Just to add an anecdote to that...having early access to those sets doesn't necessarily mean the GR code wasn't from a third party purchase. My memory is fuzzy on specifics but i do remember having early access to those but i don't remember paying money for it. Dang fuzzy memory. Anyone know if there was a deposit of some kind to get that early access?
I do know i bought my box from bestbuy.com. They had a launch day promo of $10 off if purchased online (i set it as a store pickup on launch day) -
I picked up 750 million inf on a 75 million inf item the other day.
I did not feel bad. I felt quite pleased.

Well now! Things have worked out just fantastically since I last checked on this thread...
MY GF's birthday was this week, so the entire family is going to Medieval Times on the 18th, and the show starts at 7, so I need to be there about 6:30. Now that there is a pre-party, I will be able to get there nice and early and hang out with everyone!
Hooray! -
Quote:So, just to follow up on this....Originally Posted by Quasadu
I've got two premium accounts that I only use for buffbots and each account has a stash of about 1600 points. I plan to blow that on super packs just on the off chance I might get some good ATO's to transfer to my main account, since I have no other use of those points which could benefit the main account.
I fully expect to get the Black Wolf pet on at least one of those accounts.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. -

Zwillinger: Oh hey guys, there's a thread on the forums asking about a Double XP Weekend. It's been a long time since we've had one of those, hasn't it?
2nd Measure: Yep. Maybe we should put one on the schedule. How about *looks at release schedule* March 16?
Beastyle: Okie dokie! *runs off to post an announcement*
(edit: Not that that's a bad thing! Hooray for Double XP!) -
Quote:Oh come on you can't seriously compare this to rutabaga, seriously? That's so alarmist!Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
You can call it rutebega, but it's still the paying money for the chance at whatever you consider a jackpot (black wolf, ATOs).
rutabaga
[roo-tuh-bey-guh, roo-tuh-bey-]
ru·ta·ba·ga
[roo-tuh-bey-guh, roo-tuh-bey-]
noun
1. a brassicaceous plant, Brassica napobrassica, having a yellow- or white-fleshed, edible tuber.
2. the edible tuber, a variety of turnip.
This is nothing like a rutabaga!
More like an overripe squash if you ask me. -

For those of you getting there early, will you be hanging out by the bar, or in the game room?
Now that I think about it, there may be a bar in the game room... -

While interesting, that data has nothing to do with inf generation. Inf is not generated on the market - it is only moved or destroyed.

This is not any kind of disagreement with you. I was not interested in the costume pieces and I opened 5 packs this morning and got 6 of the 11 pieces. I am sure if I wanted them I would have gotten fewer of them. Murphy's Law, how I hate it.
I fully expect to get the Black Wolf pet on at least one of those accounts. -
Thanks for the update. I just want to mention that, even though we haven't seen the finished product yet, this is already the best costume bundle you guys have ever made. The level of player input and developer communication has been amazing. I hope this becomes a regular thing. Good show, Paragon.

Quote:It's 25% only lasts an hour and doesn't work while you're defeated.Originally Posted by Darth_Khasei
Is the XP boost 25% or is it double XP?
It is in no way a substitute for Double XP Weekend. -
Quote:I sure hope you're wrong because I love Double XP weekend. Some friends and I have done fantastically fun events over Double XP Weekends where we put together a themed group of brand new level 1 characters and ran them up to 50. Not farming, not grinding the best rewards possible, just running story arcs and all of the strike forces we could run. It's been a blast both times. Each time we had a fun theme for the characters - Candy Monsters was the first one and Robot Dinosaurs was the second. I really want there to be more Double XP Weekends so we can do things like that again. XP Boosters won't cut it for that kind of thing.Originally Posted by TonyV
As a side note, I think that's a good thing. I always hated Double XP Weekends. In my opinion, it brought out the worst in people. The nastiness factor always bumped up the scale a bit because people were always trying to speed run stuff on Double XP Weekends. God forbid, if you did anything that affected their precious XP-per-second stat, you'd get cussed out and/or kicked. If they don't have them any more, I say good riddance.
If you think Double XP Weekends bring out the worst in people, look at this great picture by Liz, and know that Double XP also brings out the best in some of us:

I might be able to get there a little early too, depending on what time Liz gets here.

Quote:I didn't say it was good writing. It's basically what you said... "because." But it does answer the question I was responding to. Whether it's a satisfactory answer or not is subjective.Originally Posted by SuperOz
Quasadu....
Is that the ritual that responds to your powers by saying 'Because'?
Why won't my powers work? Because.
Why won't my empathy work? Because.
I could kinda go on, but it's like shooting fish in a barrel at that point....
S.
EDIT: also, it could be argued that those powers do not, in fact, bring you back from the dead. They bring you back from being "defeated" just like the hospital and your base do. There have been other deaths in game that we couldn't use rez powers on, so this one's not all that different.
