  1. I'll be there, you know what my choices for this are.
  2. All in all, it was a good birthday!
  3. This is a tough call. At least on #2, you can't see Penny's feet, one of which looks fine, but the other is drawn "oddly" and doesn't look like a foot at all.

    But I like the poses in #1, they frame the forum better than #2's poses.

    Are there any suggestions/preferences for the day/night/time?
    Weeknights are good for me, you know about what time I get ingame. Saturday is out for me. Feel free to pick my brain on times this evening.
  5. Happy Birthday Kultie!!!!!

    I have also seen that those that bring flat 50s will often stick with that toon through several iTrials over several days, gain level shifts, and continue to bring that toon level shifted toon. For that I am appreciative.

    As a test, I brought a 50+1 IO'd Electric Armor Brute to a TPN the other day and I was shocked by how much the Telepathists stacked Pacify power significantly reduced his survivability. Each [Pacify] by itself is insignificant, however when stacked 4-6 times (and taking the level difference into account) the effect is substantial. I was able to do my part -taunt the IDF away from the terminals so the technicians could be taken down- however I wasn't able to truly manage the aggro as effectively as I normally would (I face-planted more often than I care to admit).

    Was I actively contributing to the success of the league? Yes: I was able to quickly move the IDF away from the terminal. Was my toon effective at doing his job? No, not really: a dead brute meant that my teammates had to manage the aggro that I generated while I hid from the IDF, scraped myself up off of the floor, or waited for the door of the hospital to open.

    I brought a toon that was not truly capable of carrying his own weight and for that I feel a sense of shame.
    Speaking from a squishy perspective, I can vouch for this as well. I've run the TPN with a 50+1 dom, which, by all intents and purposes, should be cranking out damage and control. I know I was missing far more than I was hitting, and when I was hitting, it was with sub-par damage that really isn't contributing to the league whereas on my 50+3 dom, I was dealing a more appropriate level damage to the trial. Based on that experience, the TPN really isn't designed for lower level incarnates.

    You are not. So there.

    Happy Birthday!
  9. Happy Belated or Extremely Early Birthday!
  10. Congrats to everyone who participated, that was a fun challenge!
  11. Ici Cold definitely wore it better.
  12. 1. Syrusb/Liz
    2. Leaf-nin
    3. Henri

    It was tough having to choose!
  13. I'm going to have to sign up for the Skyrim themed TF on principle. Because, Skyrim. And I have the perfect concept if I can pull it off.
  14. The stealth addition of the "reward" plinky sound on EVERY single notification in trials is EXTREMELY annoying. I listen and think I'm getting all sorts of cool loot and find "power terminal activated, PLINK!" "Power cell has been used, PLINK!", "Antimatter Appears! PLINK!". It's annoying and tiring after the first 2 minutes.

    Keyes was the hardest, but also was the most accomplished. We worked our tails /off/ since it was literally the day before the pet bug was fixed.

    TPN is the easiest if you get a good league together. We weren't trying and would have had Mo if we didn't finish the first public opinion phase. Then we went back the next day going just for the public opinion badge and walked away with a full Mo run. It's also my current favorite incarnate trial.

    MoMayhem is also the most annoying. Playing the RNG grinding game (aka Nightmares) for a badge is extremely annoying.

    Yes, congrats to everyone on the league!
  17. I got Polly's card yesterday. And Lant's. And a few more before that which are hanging up on my door.

    Layla - I think this is the first time I've gotten a compliment on an envelope over the card, which I didn't even see the envelope until after I opened the box of cards at home.

    Tell her to fill out the form asap and I can add her to viewing access. I don't know if anyone's actually sent out cards yet, I know I haven't.

    How many people have signed up so far?

    I'm trying to get a feel for how much work this will be for what I have in mind.
    16 total, which is a huge drop from last year. I'll be getting the list together later and should send it off tonight or tomorrow.
