Depression is like that. You can't just pick and choose the days you're down, it's kinda random -
Actually her original origin is the camellia bush

Same here. We get to speak to her once or twice too about powers and she's secretive but that in itself seems to indicate she's not one of the traditional origins -

I must confess I was slightly perplexed by the need for this forum but as others have said, since it's obviously getting some use, then maybe people are feeling some kind of benefit from it.
One thing I've noticed with bulletin boards is they fairly soon settle down to their own level - by which I mean there are some that will be constantly busy, others that won't and some may turn into specialist subjects.
I guess the community team's argument would be simply that because this game is as accessible as they can make it, from a casual to a dedicated player's perspective, then so should the forums be as accessible too. Maybe this is where the new player will look initially... the Build Workshop is kind of self-explanatory. Once they've found their favourite AT and decided to experiment a bit then it'll be time to gravitate towards the AT specific boards. But at the very least, we now have a useful jumping off/on point for a new player and a decent repository of information for the experienced forumite. That's for the cost of one extra board so it's not that big an issue I guess. Those who absolutely don't want to use this board are entirely at liberty to not use it.
Just one thought - a potential suggestion maybe:
Make this the main "AT & Builds" Board and make then AT specific boards child boards of this. That may then turn this section into the "General build discussion" section and then the AT boards... well we know what they do anyhow. I'm not saying that's the best way, but it's one notion that kind of came to me as a possibility. -
I'm up for some RP - but mostly I've been red-side on Exalted.
I'm in the Exalted RP channel but it mostly seems dead... but it does exist and there's a good start.
I also have a VG for Loyalist Praetorians who have been tasked by Emperor Cole to wreak havoc on Primal Earth to help pave the way for his new future. The VG is the Praetorian Imperial Secret Service. Feel free to hit me up for an invite to a very small VG which has a great basis for some cool stories. -

Anybody know how long these titles last for? I seem to remember the previous gold event titles only lasting a few days, yet I've had mine for weeks
it can range between (I believe) 3 days to 28 days depending on the nature of the event. Predetermined by Devs/CCs -

Quote:Yeah I can do selective quoting too and the following indicates quite clearly that the OP is playing a corrupter in a scrapper-like manner.Originally Posted by Texas Justice
If you read the entire post, you will see that the OP did indeed claim that it is a scrapper. One sentence claimed it to be a jumping off point for the imagination, but in another sentence actually wrote that the OP now has a pistols scrapper. See the quote at the end of the post.
If you read it, then you either skipped a sentence or misunderstood because the OP actually did write that they now have a pistols scrapper. See the quote below.
If the OP had instead written something along the lines of "and finally with the introduction of Time Manipulation I have something close" then I wouldn't have bothered replying at all. The problem is, the OP actually claimed to now have a pistol scrapper and there is no such thing.
That's not me putting words in the OP's mouth. That's not me misinterpreting what the OP wrote. It's what the OP actually wrote.
You can come out with as much bollocks as you like to the contrary but nobody in their right mind actually read the OP as anything other than "this is a reasonable scrapper substitute and a bucketload of fun."Quote:This is a concept build. My character spends almost all of her time in melee, and her damage is NOT on par with a scrapper. She will be susceptible to status attacks until I get Incarnated out. This character is currently only level 33, but is an absolute *joy* to play. If you have ever wanted to play a pistol scrapper, I humbly offer this build as a jumping off point for your imagination. -
Quote:I give you infinity/10 for pedantry.Originally Posted by Texas Justice
I see no such admission in your post. Not a word about imperfection. Not a word about guilty pleasure. There was nothing of the sort to gloss over.
I did however see some erroneous points made.
Nope, you have a Dual Pistols Corruptor.
Except that it isn't a Scrapper, it is a Corruptor, so those that have been wanting to play a pistol scrapper still can't play one.
It's a Corruptor, not a Scrapper.
The flaws are still there.
I, like most people who read the OP's post, understood them to say there is no such thing as a pistols scrapper but this is a fun alternative.
If you are either too dense or more likely too unwilling to accept that because the OP didn't actually use the exact phraseology you wanted or expected then that is your issue, not the OPs. -

You assume that would result in more that you could enter. Most likely it would put a halt to anything more than costume codes for rewards, with very occasional physical items as a reward, if ever. One of the main issues with contests is paperwork and fees, especially if the prize can be judged to have value that can be expressed via currency.
How do you work that out? There are plenty of competitions take place in the EU and plenty of global and transatlantic competitions. Just because Paragon Studios don't bother with them doesn't mean they don't take place.
I'm assuming nothing. I'm simply saying this is another example where Paragon Studio treats it's EU customers poorly in comparison to its NA customers. Since we've been a single "community" we've seen a number of competitions that have been run Stateside that excluded anyone outside of continental North America. I'm open to correction but for all Zwillinger's platitudes I cannot remember a third party competition that everyone in the community could enter nor can I remember an EU specific comp.
Thus whatever the community leads have to say on the matter, actions are speaking a lot louder than their words. -
Quote:and equally, Paragon Studios has the opportunity to either accept those rules or decline to run the competition.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
You'd be surprised.
When third party sites host contests, they usually have their standard rules and regulations that they use for most, if not all, of their contests.
I'm afraid your argument is specious Zwillinger. It may be a commercial reality that Paragon decide to run completions that exclude part of the player base but they could, should they so decide stipulate that
- Only competitions that include the entire player base are acceptable
- standard rules and regulations must be altered to accommodate non-North American players.

Just to add that further to my post above, I'm still crashing with the same level of frequency

The contest and rules itself are all determined by the fine folks at MMORPG.com. In this particular case we have no control over what countries they make this contest eligible for.
We will, when possible, endeavour to make contests we host open to as many members of Community as we can.
I'm quite sure that Paragon Studios have the power to stipulate that their entire player base should be eligible. -
I just want to make a character called James... for the final mission. So my team-mates can inform my toon that said said signature character has expired

I reckon the OP needs some farming equipment

Quote:Oh, you mean like you have different laws between the States of the US and... oh wait... Canada. Is that in the USA? No I don't think it is.Originally Posted by Defenestrator
Newsflash: "Europe" is actually made up of many different countries, all of which have their own varying and different laws regarding the giving away of prizes. Some of these laws are far more restrictive than others.
That's why we have a European Union where laws are largely homogenised to make things like this similar.
Your argument fails on many levels. -
This looks really fun except... you guessed it... we're not entitled to join it. So if you don't reside in the Good Ol' NA, then you won't be winning 5 years game time, or getting Matt Miller to give you a haircut or any of that cool stuff.

like many here I've been experiencing multiple crashing on 32 bit XP with a GTX460
One thing I have noticed is that the Launcher continually crashes - it's guaranteed to crash every time I play. I load the game, play and then periodically the launcher crashes. Is that connected?
I'm now trying no shadows (in fact I've turned Ultra mode right off) and the Rewards and Market buttons turned off too.
PS - For Frederik -

This... a thousand times.
Why can we not have tough places - the game's been dumbed down so much. Praetoria for me at least is fun because it IS that bit tougher -
I believe Frostfire's redemption is largely fan driven because there has always been a significant part of the community that felt his back story gives him a bum deal. After all, he was imprisoned for having tried to do the right thing even if he did it very badly.

Well my primary issue was not being able to claim all because some of the stuff was for 50s only. On a new toon that was very annoying but thanks to_KlaW_ I learned you can hide the unclaimable stuff.
However that does raise the issue that if some items are account wide, such as chest emblems, auras etc, it'd be very nice to be able to claim them before rolling a new toon so it can come out of the box with new shinies.
Also some items should be able to be claimed more than once - and whilst some prefer the new system the pre-freedom vet rewards did allow far more flexibility due to a much nicer interface., IMO -
one thing you need to remember is that if you have too few spiders in your immediate environment you are likely to suffer a prolonged invasion of carnivorous pygmy clowns. It is a well established fact that spiders keep these particular clowns at bay.

PERFECT! Thankyou very much. That's just what I needed. I didn't know it existed

Desdemona's been slated to be one of the new sig heroes since her creation. We get to check in with her contiguously throughout her development and she is a character with power who has a broader story than someone like Penny Yin.
Another important aspect of that story is that she also has Maelstrom as a counter-weight to balance her story - the Devs learned never t leave critical stories unbalanced to avoid the universal cry of "Devs hate villains"
