There's a lot I need to learn about blasting. I played around with your ideas and some others this morning, and a Streng killed me.

There are lot of AE farm junkies, but there are other folk also. I haven't done an AE mish in a week or so, and my last one was playing an arc developed by a friend. Feel free to send a tell if you want to team and you see me online.

I am proud to have been called a "crazy blaster" last night. Believe or not, but my toon is designed for long-range attacks. I kept closing to try to get good angles for my KB, pushing people against walls or into corners, rather than down the hall.

I played around some more with my blaster this morning and didn't get killed (yah!!). It required a slower pace of play and more planning, quite a change from the brute I was playing earlier in the week. I've also used my second build to put together what I hope is a more solid build, particularly for team play.

I look forward to hiding behind a tank tonight.

I'll be there with a lvl 22 blaster, Little Bertha. Mind you, she's my first blaster, and all my experience so far has been with melee toons - scrapper, tank, and brute. Whenever I try to solo her, she seems to die (not my fault!).

What level ITF are we looking at? I have a lvl 38 tank I'd like to run.

I'd be interested in such a TF on either date. What level are you considering? I have a lvl 37 tank who hasn't done an ITF before.

I think I need to be really clear here before anyone jumps to conclusions and/or misreads my earlier email. Nivienne was helpful when I sent her an email about my concerns, but her help was solely limited to suggesting that I needed to make an in-game petition in order for my concerns to reach the right people. She never offered to "circumvent" any rules or anything along those lines.

An issue that I think Nivienne would be willing, nay, eager, to comply on.

Actually, Nivienne directed me to make an in-game petition. I did that and eventually got a reasonable reply that indicated a willingness to rethink/work through this issue.

IIRC, it has some Ayn Rand-bashing in it. Perhaps libertarians might try to have it banned?

A quick update on my letter effort. Niviene replied back to me, telling me I needed to make an in-game petition. I did that yesterday and this morning received an email from NCSoft saying that they would have a Senior Customer Support Representative look into my concern, but that it might take a bit because of the current volume of petitions.

I thanked them for their effort and addressed the concern that the arc was gay-bashing when in fact it was mocking gay-bashing.

Perhaps there is hope for a change of view.

I would send it to Niviene. This is a customer service kind of issue, not a developer issue.

Thanks for the advice, I just sent in my letter.

I've written a short letter to the devs asking them to rethink their decision. I'd encourage other folks with concerns to do the same. However, I have some small problem. Who exactly should I sent it to? Do we know which dev-person is point on this issue?

I'm very disappointed that this arc was banned. I thought it was very clever and no more sexual than normal CoX content is violent. But of course, violence is OK and sex is bad.

The AE fine? It blows the bosses are unstoppable there [censored] monsters.

They are? I killed two yesterday while soloing. Perhaps if you learn to play against enemies who fight back rather than huddle around bombs you'll be able to handle them.

Heraclea:

If you ever need an email of support to the devs about your AE mish, I'd do it in a hearbeat.

I've enjoyed all your AE arcs.

I took my then lvl 21 tank on his Sister Psyche TF over the weekend and had a great time and earned many XPs. It did go rather quickly, and I did sometimes feel lost/left behind. However, part of that was due to the fact that I hadn't played this particular toon in a couple of weeks.

I am not sure whether to feel happy or sad that I apparently missed the dread hamster of which folks in this thread have written.
