Something I just noticed.. Marteteers?

Part of me wishes I could make sense of that...
The other part tells me that I don't want to -

Okay, I lol'd.
Just out of curiosity, how long had this person been in game?
(Also, by that definition, I'm old school too apparently) -

AE means Architect Entertainment. Its basically a tool for the players to create their own mission arcs. The problem is that it's fallen under heavy scrutiny due to the sheer amount of farming and PL'ing that goes on there causing a bit of a stigma towards it.
Also, which server are you on? -

Wait..
What? -
As nice as that is, the first thing that came to mind for me was "how big of a frying pan..."

Sorry to hear about your loss, Zube.

Sorry that I couldn't make it all, a lot of garbage has been happening with me lately that I'm trying to get cleared up, but I'm glad to hear that the raid was successful.

If you're talking about the sk range, Posi said that's going away as well. It won't matter where you are in the game. You'll always be sk'd up to one level below the team leader if there's no mish selected, or to one level below the mish holder's level if there is one selected.
Get everyone in PI (or similar) set a lowbie mish.... -

I'll do what I can to make it tonight, but my static team may run over.

Had someone not done this for me, I wouldn't have been able to afford my first set of SOs back in the day. -
Quote:I think you're still missing what I'm getting at, but for the sake of not carrying this out any further I'll stop it here other than to say that, yes, those powers are typically sought by the players when they're teaming with those ATs and that's not what I'm trying to argue.Originally Posted by Ice_Ember
that is not the same logic at all. all powers versus the key powers of the set are very different things.
my simple answer is this... dual builds. you can play your gimp build without RI/EF, Unyeilding, etc alll you want to, but when you are playing on a team that wants the benefits of the powerset you have chosen to play, swap to that one.
That way the non speedboost fire/kin farmers can have their farming build, and when they play a TF or team with folks that want a kin for the speedboost they can provide it.
most people are too lazy or cheap to SO out a second build, but to each their own.
I wont team with with a person who has to be carried by the rest of the team. A rad without toggles or a tank without unyeilding is being carried by the rest of the team. If you dont like it, dont team with me. To each their own. -
Quote:My point isn't that I don't believe that there are some powers that should be taken for the sake of the powerset. My point is that someone shouldn't claim that in order to "play the AT as it was designed" you have to take those powers. I feel that that's being presumptuous in assuming what the developers had originally intended for each powerset/AT is all. I could just as easily make the argument that if you don't take every power from your primary and secondary then you're not playing things the way they were intended.Originally Posted by Ice_Ember
you would enjoy being on a team with an empath defender who did not take
heal other, clear mind, fortitude, or adrenalin boost? (or any of the other empathy powers?)
I would not team with am emp who did not have the basic team buffing powers. I relate that directly to a rad who did not take RI or EF.
I know a person who currently plays an invuln tank without Unyeilding. Needless to say the team carries the tank. This same person played an emp without clear mind (and I was continuously stunned on my scrapper while fighting malta -this was a LONG time ago pre IO's) I do not team with that person often, and when my patience wheres out because of the team carrying a player who does not have the powers which are very important to the set, then I know it is time for me to go elsewhere.
I dont dislike the person, but I dont play well on the same team. (for the record, it is not BA...)
Not that I believe that, it just holds the same logic is all. -
My thoughts are to go for it if we won't have to leave anyone out due to numbers.
-
*sigh* May as well say it now.
Quote:I wish I could understand where you're coming from, I really do, but unfortunately I don't know how someone not having the same powers you would take from the set would cause them to 'not contribute.' I'm sorry, but until you can find a statement somewhere in the documentation that says "You must take this power in order to play the AT as it was intended in its design," then I'm afraid that you're being incredibly presumptuous in your statements.Originally Posted by Myrmydon
I am sorry if I prefer my teammates to at least have the powers that define a powerset and are capable of playing a particular AT the way it was meant to be played. If you want to carry people along, by my guest, however, I have been done with teammates that don't contribute to a team fully for a long time now. You play your way, I'll play mine and never the two need meet.
Thank you for your cooperation.
EDIT: Also, you apparently didn't read my original post. I was looking for a way to say the same thing recently, not necessarily in response to your post. But since you felt that you needed to respond to me, I felt it was worthwhile to point out that I feel that you are wrong. -

People of this game, nor of the world are here to cater to the whims or opinions of you. No matter what your mother told you.
Your opinion of what a "cornerstone" power is may not be shared by others.
It is your right to say who you will and won't team with for any reason.
Likewise it is their right to build and play their toons how they like for any reason.
Just like I told the Anti-Gay Republican who was insulting my gay friend.
"If his lifestyle (or playstyle) offends you, it is not necessary for your lifestyle to exist 2 feet parallel to his. You are choosing to be that close. You can either waste your life hanging around people you don't like and berate them while they live a full life or you can go out and live one that fulfills you for yourself."
Food for thought. -

Touch of Death is an extremely sensitive niche. Not that many people play with the set, even though mroe should, so changes in pricing are noticeable and can result in massive crashes from time to time. Have no fear because, if you're smart and use the information I've provided here, you can make a lot of money on ToDs. Just keep that tidbit in the back of your brain though. If you buy 5 or 6 and think you can guarantee selling them, it may take you weeks to unload them without taking a loss of some kind. Be gentle. It's the only way to make this niche really work.
ToD's were the item a long time ago that taught me how to be careful and not flood the market. -

Well like if it was a serial number on an android/cyborg/robot then it wouldn't bug me, but '1337 speak' bugs me. It's faster and easier to read when you use regular letters. And can't really think of an example of how you'd misspell for a play on words...
Anyway, /threadjack -
Quote:Curiosity question: What if it was intentional and there is a reason for it? Things like andriods/cyborgs/robots with 1337 speak in the name or people who use a misspelling for a play on words.Originally Posted by Bad_Wonka
People who don't capitalize their name, add numbers at the end, numbers in the middle to replace a letter, or tweak it so they get that name which is already taken, and spelling.
Examples:
T3h 0n3
numba too
tHr33
I4m3
-Supam4n
t3h huIk
fireman
iceman34
Real example I saw:
soilder warriar
First of all Solider and Warrior are not spelled right, they are both not capitalized, they replaced the 'o' for an 'a' in warrior.
Another thing is pretty much says you're a warrior that doesn't know how to spell, or capitalize, plus you soiled yourself.
And last but not least, Soldiers and Warriors are like the same thing...
And to keep with the theme of the thread:
People who automatically blame group x* for something they don't like happening without even thinking about what is actually causing it.
* Replace "group x" with your favorite group to try to scape goat. Example: "Prices on the market are too high, it must be the marketeers running prices up." -
The entire room has been flickering like that for awhile actually for me. I've bugged it occasionally, but I think it started with i13 or so.
