Count me in, I've got a former Loyalist concept that I can dust off, and a Resistance member that would fit right in (though as she's part of a duo, I can't make promises with that one).

Hit me up at @themightyemu.

With the ski challet open, you'll probably see more role-players there taking in the locale.

One of my stalkers will be going Rogue, but not make the full switch. I'm rerolling my mastermind into Demon Summoning. I have ideas for a Dual Pistols something and a /Pain Corruptor going blueside, but those aren't set in stone.

My prediction is that we won't see a fix until after the Halloween event.

It's been 3 weeks, the least NC Soft can do is offer a free month of game time. Making up to the customers is a very good business practice when you rely on word of mouth.

Got a couple of levels on the Fire/Rad version of Terra, which was fun. I love playing a Fire/Rad controller duoing with a Rad/Fire blaster. I'm really curious to see how they play with SOs.

Got my stalker from 33 to 40. Not bad considering I wasn't in any TFs this weekend. The Mac mouse cursor bug hampered my abilty to play a lot.

Tanked a bit with my Willpower tanker, thus reminding myself why Willpower is awesome. Got a purple drop too.

Still, while I met my goals, got a rare drop, and even hung out a bit with peeps it was still a disappointing weekend for me. The bug really cut into my game experience. I guess you can call my weekend the 'Pizza Option': while it's rarely -bad-, there are times where it is unsatisfying but you never turn it down when it's offered.

Sent my system specs over. It should be noted that while I got the full on suckitude thanks to having a 3100 GMA card, my teammate with the NVidea has his chat windows work just fine, but has cases of 'orange hand' and the occasional mouse spasm.

Me three. Leopard is up to date, and I'm on a Macbook Intel Dual Core. Set my windows to default, rebooted several times, checked to make sure my system and game displays were the same, tried windows mode; all of it didn't work. Comparing notes with my teammate who's also got a Macbook, he's getting POV changes, but no chat window problems; he's got windows drivers for his mouse, I just use whatever came with the laptop.

We both have the same version of Leopard and COH for Mac. I can fiddle with tabs and menu options, it's the windows themselves that throw the cursor off. I can't use dialogue for contacts at all.

Now that my partner in crime is making a rad/fire blaster, I'm rolling a fire/rad controller. I'm also rolling a claws/willpower brute.

On the customization front, my DA scrapper, empath, SS tanker, and dominator are getting their powers tweaked. I might fiddle around with colors on the others too.

I've got new versions of my controller and one my stalkers, but not full alts. Power customization's going to make sure I sell my soul to the tailor.

What do you mean my credit card was rejected?

In General:

1. Network, network, network. Start teaming up with people day one. Keep a list of regular players; if you've got a steady group of people to team with in your teens it makes your twenties that much more easier.

2. Be aware of the "hidden effects" of your powers, especially secondaries. For example, Freezing Rain's primarily used for a debuff, but it can provide Knockdown as well. It's also a crowd-scatterer.

For Earth:

Some powers are "must haves", others are situational; they key thing to remember is that one person's situational is another's 'must have'.

Fossilize is a single target hold you can use it for:

1. Hitting teleporting MoBs (Tsoo Sorcerers, Sky Raider Porters) before they leave or preventing certain MoBs from activating powers (Sky Raider Engineers with their Force Field Generators).

2. Dropping toggles on MoBs (Tsoo Sorcerers and Banished Pantheon Storm Shamans both have hurricane-and now some Outcasts do too).

3. Layering Holds on Bosses (With Volcanic Gases).

4. Stopping stragglers in their tracks, or good 'ol fashioned Hold goodness.

Stone Cages is an AOE Immobilize, it keeps MoBs in place and away from melee range. However you have a chance to drop down flyers with it.

Stalagmites is an AOE Disorient, pre-gases Stone Cages+Stalagmites is your key combo. Post-gases it's good for keeping the MoBs out of commission while you wait for the gases to 'pulse'.

Volcanic Gases is you AOE Hold, but it's location based. It's good for hold-layering your bosses, but if you have teammates that have knockback, any gas-holds will vanish quickly once they're off the location. On the otherhand, you can lay it down beforehand in an area between you and the MoBs if you're faced with a difficult pull.

Typically I either do:

Volcanic Gases+Stalagmites, Fossilizing leftovers: If I have the Endurance (VG drains nearly half a bar) and time to set up the gases. If there's more than one boss, I definately start out with this combo.

or

Stone Cages+Stalagmites, Fossilizing stragglers-Usually if I'm with my energy blaster friends, we don't have a lot of time, or if there's only one boss (since the damage dealers I hang with can take one out fairly quickly).

or

Chain-Fossilize a lot, tossing in a Stalagmites if things get heavy-I only do this if I'm teamed up with someone and the MoBs are made of two or three minions/lts. I perfer to save my AOEs for larger things.

I don't have Stone Prison (took Fossilize instead), Quicksand (I have Snowstorm), Salt Crystals, or Earthquake (Wanted to see if I could make a viable controller without it, though I'll pick it up post 40 for monster-hunting on Pereguine Island). That doesn't make them worthless; Earthquake's a very good debuff/knockdown and Quicksand ensures that MoBs don't run away from the gases before they're held. Stone Prison can be used for dropping MoBs, and Salt Crystals can hold them off until properly Held (still, it is a sleep ).
