    Yay! It's like looking at Penny's Facebook and Twitter!
    *Flash forward to i26 to see Penelope Yin on the login screen, complete with Penny-crotch*

    On topic, it's times like this I'm glad I play a stalker. I can hide and afk without fear of Nemesis retaliation. Or, I can just duck inside a shop or building.

    I'll sign for this idea just to have the opportunity to kidnap Golden Girl and pawn her.
    I would so want a badge for that accomplishment
  3. I seem to have better chance of finding a team in Broadcast than I do in Help(at least here on Virtue). Cap au Diable and Sharkhead Isle are especially good places to try this.

    Other times, I join any TF, SF or mish run a premie like me can. Not only do I get to have fun and earn merits (my current fave pastime), but I "network" and end up with at least one or two globals per trip. Now, it's not uncommon for one of my friends to send me a tell as soon as I log and ask if I want to run with them.

    Hope this helps and good hunting!

    By the way, I played thew arcs a total of 49 times! We're done!
    I beat you. I played them a total of 100 times AND gave them 5 stars.

    *patiently waiting for the "Why aren't you playing CoX RIGHT NOW?!?" topic*
  5. Because I'm playing a stalker right now (three more levels and I'll have my first 50 weee!!)

    DOH! Well now I feel silly. I just assumed she was as strong as the other GM.
    I'm ashamed to admit I ran from her the first time I saw her (This was just after I had my first run-in with Lusca and got too close to it XD painful lesson)

    Back OT, I like monster hunting in CoX. I just wish they had better incentives for tracking them down.

    I've probably only seen one or two Jurassik teams ever in my entire CoH experience.
    Oh,I didn't know that about Sally.Thanks alot.Now maybe I can say I was finally able to solo a (sorta) GM.
  8. I wish GM hunting was more popular. It's hard to get a team for the more obscure ones like Jurrasik,Sally,and Deathsurge

    Heck,I'd settle for a small increase of merits.

    This is my first attempt with a /WP setup. I've wanted to try it since I hear alot of people both in and out of the game say how great it is. Truthfully, I find it kinda meh (maybe it'll get better if I slot it with some LotG and Aegis), but I think in the future I'll stick with either Ice, Elec, or Nin for my stalker secondaries.
  10. Staff/WP stalker here. I have a bad case of alt-itis and it takes time for me to warm up to a character and concept. Now, with the release of staffing fighting and the recent update for stalkers...well, I think it's a match made in heaven.
  11. I'm currently running a Staff/WP stalker, and having a blast (lvl 34 now). It does some pretty good damage and of course the AoE is a much welcome addition for some crowd control. I slotted the Devastation IO set in Serpent's Reach (seems way more powerful now, and I plan to change it to Apocalypse later on) and put Sirroco's Dervish in my Eye of the Storm.

    I may not be as powerful as your TW brute or as "cool" as your StJ stalker, but I'm ok with that
  12. Did you get any rare drops or phat loot?
  13. Someday, I WILL ride into the RWZ riding a giraffe and wielding a staff. The Rikti will never know what hit them.

    More four-legged pets,please. Still waiting on crocodile, elephant, hippo, and unicorn.
  16. This reminds me of another MMO game publisher who is notorious for having long downtimes on their games (one recently took 16 hours to finish. You should have seen the rage on the forums...). But the big difference here is, that company only publishes f2p games.And they are never accurate in how long the downtime will take (if they say 2 hours, always add two more)

    In defense of NCsoft, I've yet to see the downtime as an inconvenience. It's always been quick and prompt. Plus they give a fair warning when it will be off and their timing is accurate. I don't want them to end up like the other company, where they give 2xp weekends as compensation just to shut people up. NCsoft is better than that.

    Seanbaby is awesome. I've been a fan of his since his EGM days.
  19. Zwil already posted that it'll be here next week, so everything's cool now

    So that's what they mean by "staff fighting" huh?

If people think the Devs can crank out more than 12 powersets a year on top of the free ones and proliferated ones in the 3 Issues a year... they're delusional.

    The angst surrounding Staff is from a very loud group that have become hysterical with impatience. An impatience compounded by a player-created leak that alerted us to the existence of Staff way before its time. Part of people's anger should be directed at that guy, not the Devs.

    Also, the sounds for Staff were just recently changed to something that people like. If Staff had been released earlier, people would have been howling about the sounds of Staff.
    Ah I see. That makes sense. From personal experience, I saw a couple of videos on youtube that showed staff fighting being used in beta. That's pretty much what made me excited about it. But I'm patient and can wait for them to perfect it.

    As for your VIP remark, I will just say that I'm pretty neutral on that subject. I've yet to see someone make a post that made me think "That person is crazy!!"

    That is neither here nor there since the real issue concerning that and other things like it is the devs and their failure to fully communication a regular basis. There are daily examples of this from many people here and in the game.
    As one of the new guys here, I didn't know there even was a "pattern" to what gets released. I pretty much go by what you VIP's tell me.
  24. Nice! Looks like this patch is turning out pretty good. It's nice to not have to to redo my toggles every time I log on.
