bah!

Coming from a Community "Red" name....it is what it is.

Thanks mac.

Thanks for the info!

On a different note, and maybe it's answered somewhere else, but is it possible to do the reverse....pull from CoX to Mids?

When I'm on my kin, I usually start the mish by asking if anyone does NOT want SB....the occasional no pops up.

Love the toon.

Also just noticed tootips for recipes don't work when the Market window is open.

This....when I mouse over stuff the info doesn't show up like before. I have to click info....no big deal, but it was nice to get the mouse over stuff quick. I'll check my tooltips setting tonight.

Finally have time to play on day off......

BOOOOOO!!!!

Carry on!

Just a quick ?

Is there a farming request Channel?

I read somewhere there's a Paragon PVP channel (which I do not know if it's active or not)....

Are there any other server, test or game wide channels to broadcast "activity" in BB, SC or RV like...."4 nub heros running around SC in Virtue, vills could use some l33tns to help clean up"

OR the real reason for my post....

We're trying to lvl up SG mates to be active in pvp and when I try to get a BM farm team together (and not have to get the "i h4t3z u f4rmrs" when i broadcast BM farms forming) I would rather give my fellow pvprs who are trying to lvl up other toons first crack at spaces.

PM meh if needed.

10. Suggest a PvP Farm Channel where those who would like to lead or join a farm for the sole purpose of leveling up characters quickly for PvP purposes. I know I would be PvPn a lot more if I could get toons ready quicker. RL and such make it hard.

No biggie but...

Could we have the option to buy 3, 6 or 12 months worth of the Mini Booster?

I have an abnormal addiction to this thing.

Thanks in advance.

Appreciate the feedback.

I've only been playing a few months and now plan to build a viable pvp toon.

What I was "trying" for was a range blaster that can mix it up close when needed.

If I'm understanding your build, you didn't take lance and bsmash do to DR? I figured those would deal some nice dmg up close.

I was looking at sets that gave good Mez protection and amped the dmg up a bit.

New to the pvp here and I wanted some input.

Please dismantle at your leisurely pleasure.

Thanks in advance.

A lot of issues have been released since I wrote this, so it is time for a 2nd edition. (Pre-I3 and pre-ED bubblers were gods; not so much anymore...)

So, let's talk villain side and laziness. To start with, which AT should you choose?

Brute, with that rage bar constantly nagging on you like your old lady who wants the garbage out yet still takes her own sweet time fetching you another 6 pack, just does not work for the lazy player.

Mastermind, with all those drones needing constant attention just like the rug rats with the diaper changing, band aiding, daily feeding, monthly bathing, keepin' 'em out of what's left of this 6 pack; NOOOOO thank-you! (Why else would you take the garbage out and go pick up the welfare check every month if not to get a free pass on all that womany stuff?)

Corruptor: Hmmm, keep the team buffed/spawns de-buffed while laying out the smack-down at the same time? Kind of like fix the toilet (the one next door at my brother's work just fine thank-you very much), fix the sink (just keep the dripping faucet over on the left side and it works fine), and REALLY fix the broken window in the kids room (let's see A-another layer of duct tape or B-the equivalent of eight 6 packs just so they can break it again?), all at the SAME TIME?!? I don't think so.

Stalker: Two quick deadly strikes, run away and hide, sneak back and do it again. Hey, now we are getting closer at least. Still, this sounds too much to me like changing your own channels when you could have a DVR instead. Sure, programming it up front is a pain, but then you just sit back and put her on cruise control. Plus, what do those DVR-less souls do when a bass fishing tournament and a nascar race are on at the same time?

That leaves us with Dominator. Fortunately it looks like we have a winner here for the lazy player. (Remember, lazy player does not mean you just stand at the mission door and leach; any AT can do that. Lazy player means you are still significantly contributing to team success, but you also get to eat a sammy and suck back a few while doing so.) Unfortuanately, unlike bubblers where all you have to do is buff the team every 4 minutes and stay somewhat close to the main assist with a dominator you will have to push the button more frequently.

Now in order to cut back on how often you have to cast you really need to build for perma domination. That truly is NOT very difficult and can be quite cheap with the right power choices. For me that means mind/thorn. Mind has the best and widest selection of group mezzing and thorn has knockback which lets you slot kinetic crash 3 times to go with 2 basilisk gaze which gets you your 5 X 7.5% recharge. Now all you need is 5 X 6.25%, 4 X 5%, and 2 purple 10% recharge sets. If you end up paying more than 100 million for ALL of that then you have not done a very good job shopping. (Yeah, basilisk is ridiculous right now, but it should hopefully settle down and you can swap it for 2 more kinetic crash if you must.)

Once perma domination is in place (those sets plus 3 slotted hasten) your job at the start of each fight is to drop aim, total domination, terrify, then mass confusion. If you are on even a half decent team the fight will be over before anything else is needed from you. Wash, rinse, repeat. Have fun and try not to get too smashed with all the spare time you have playing lazy.

[/ QUOTE ]


THIS...my friend gave me a good laugh AND something to think about.

Not an easy task for the lazy.

I wasn't able to install the Hotfix located at the start of this guide. Vista said I didn't need it. Not sure on that one. However, I did search for Vista SP2 on microsofts website. It is beta however since I installed it I have been crash free and without dirver errors.

[/ QUOTE ]


Quick update....downloaded the Vista SP2 and I too have been crash free. Thanks for the tip, hope it holds.

Here's the stew going on inside. Crash just about every time in. Thanks in advance for any help or tips.

Hate to necro, but I just started playing a few weeks ago.

Tons of fun and tons to do.

I purchased the jet pack and have only one suggestion....could we make it a bit more "villainy" on the Villain side?

Not a big deal but when I try to make my Villain all dreadful looking and the happy go lucky red, white and blue jet pack comes out....kinda wish it looked a bit..well...dreadful....just saying.

Anyways....having a blast!
