/agree.

A tastefully done, color coordianted costume shows that the player cares about the character, at least enough to not make him look like a goofus.

Also, brief character bios that are not littered with errors show maturity, and maturity is always welcome in a PUG.

A quick story: When I first started the game (04/2005) I rolled a blaster and an Emp Defender. I soloed my way to the Hollows, and joined my first team there. 6 people and I was the only support character.

We suffered one death (Leeroy Jenkins wannabe tried to draw angry mobs back to us, but was killed en route. Kicked, good riddance.) Afterwards, everyone thanked me for my timely heals. I told them it was my first week and it blew everyone away.Excellent team, but I never saw them again.

And don't forget the Defuse Bomb nerf. Bomb base PvP missions are worthless now that they just reward infamy/influence (actually, it may pay off for those cash-strapped early levels)

Nice guide R_M. I was always just a few seconds too late doing it the old-fashiond way. Gonna log on and get my brute a Shivan!

I misread this as "amish". Insomnia sucks.

((Great. Now I have to have one of my toons yell "Geneva Convention! GENEVA CONVENTION!" whenever a longbow flames him
