Smoking Baby

There are text grabbers that can copy from any image and all you have to do is hit paste.

I'm just too lazy to even experiment with that, plus it's cheating, but whatever.

I'm gonna try #3 and give up after that cause I'm falling asleep staring wildly at the screen hitting F5 like crazy across 3 tabs.

The latest one just got claimed too...we have some secretaries snatching up the codes.

The site says 2 codes an hour but so far I've only seen one or did I read it wrong?

My eyes are starting to cross from all this refreshing.

That was fast.

You have to remember these are roleplaying games, some of us have had names in our heads of superheroes we've wanted to see true to life since we were kids. It's kinda like getting punched in the face when you find out that same name is already taken and being rarely used by someone as an alt.

I know one of my very first names for a hero I came up with as a kid was already taken and what rubbed salt in the wound was it was also the name I was using in beta. So it really stung.

I got over it(sort of) and have since then come up with names I like, but every now and then I check to see if it's available. I even used a variation with spaces once but it's just not the same.

Those heroes you've had in your head forever have to be 100% or it's a no go. At least that's how it is for me.

It's not that all the names are gone. Just the names we really want are gone.

There was no big mistake, you have the ultimate lockdown toon, and can solo(slower than the heavy hitters, but it's reasonable) or team easily.

You'll shine way more on teams, but you may want to dip into a pool for a single target attack if you prefer to solo.

Only 6 levels away from Fulcrum Shift, and you'll be ridiculous so don't give up.

I don't have to stand in melee range with RoA or FA. My RoA also has aim and with build up I drop minions easily without a second attack. It's usually the boss and maybe the lieuts I'm finishing off with extra attacks, not the minions.

Hail of Bullets is the worst power of 2010.

A nuke that doesn't nuke.

It's not a utility power, it's not a pool power, it's not some minor 1st or 2nd tier power.

It's the final power of the set and for whatever reason it can't even kill minions. It's bad enough the animations lock you down forever, but to have a nuke that doesn't nuke? Gimme a break.

Bah my fault. I thought we kept the remaining until we used them.

Oh well I'll just make a new fire troller on Freedom or use the slot for something else.

I thought just the addition of extra credits ended after the event, not the credits we already had.

I had five left I was going to save.

That's what IO's are for.

Since everyone seems to be going for yellow snow I'm doing brown Energy.

It can turn players into gods, no other set can do it like Empathy can.

And you have numerous other buff/debuff sets that reduce incoming damage by so much that nobody needs to be a god in the first place.

You're holding up two apples and trying to tell me they're different.

Having an excess of defenders on any team makes everything easy. Doesn't even matter what set they are. That doesn't change a thing.

All this nerd rage over Empathy is so stupid. I have to wonder if most of you even play the game because I sure as hell don't run into these silly statements in game.

What do people not get about Empathy having buffs? There's always someone raging about Empathy like it's terrible and isn't bringing anything to the table. It can turn players into gods, no other set can do it like Empathy can.

Stop whining.

Is Mind really that bad off? I have limited experience with it, but whenever I've teamed with a Mind Controller, I've always felt really, really safe. Mind just seems to offer so many powers that are consistently useful for keeping stuff from shooting back.

Pets can be useful solo, but on large teams I find them much less so. I often find myself wishing I had "just one more control" I could throw at the crowd. Instead I often have a dim witted pet that runs off and pulls aggro, dies, and gets me killed instantly.

I also think the problem might be less that Mind lacks Containment, and more that Containment itself becomes overpowered at high levels. I'm going to be murdered for saying this, but I've long thought that Containment should only apply to single-target attacks and not AoEs. Which would be rough on us, but the fact that we regularly outdamage Defenders, who have a Blast set as a Secondary, has long puzzled me.

Did you play a controller pre-Containment? A man build with brawl only outdamaged controllers pre Containment. We gave up a lot control wise for containment (in a round about sort of way), but it did allow for controllers as a whole to be viable soloers. Not the fastest but at least possible.

I much preferred the pre-containment/ED days when we were actually a support AT(a damned good support AT) instead of little wannabe blasters.

So many controllers focus on damage now rather than locking down everything so the real damage dealers can let loose. If I wanted a blaster I'd make one.

Illu has no solid access to aoe containment either and Phantasm doesn't really make up for that.

Both sets seem to do fine without it.
