...Three UnOff RP Servers?
No thanks.
Two is enough.
EDIT: To me, a RP VIP server is for those who feel elitist enough where they feel above playing amongst the new players and trying to help them, even in the RP regard. This is why I'll stay on Virtue. -

On the subject of "Pocket D is srz RP", I can not take a dance club as a serious place to do anything. It's a dance club. You hang out, unwind, and relax there. That's the kind of RP I'd expect to see and would be fine with. But I see so often epic battles of heroes vs. villains, literal gods god moding everywhere, constant ERP, and general jack ***** that feel the need to be better than you and cause a conflict. That's, like, the opposite place to unwind, kick back, and have fun. Then there's the whole "Lore says we can't fight here, but we do it anyway!" bit. If you wanna battle, take it to the ruins of RWZ or the arena terminals.
I used to use the D as a hangout spot for months and rarely did I ever see general hang out RP. So that's why I avoid it, at least.

Quote:Personally, I'm making an entire array of characters on VIP when it comes out. Their primary purpose is just to try things I don't have room for on Virtue, but yes, I do fully intend to assist any campaign to create an RP VIP server.Originally Posted by OlafTheSpaceViking
With the change to Freedom, I was wondering...
Are we going to name one of the VIP servers as the 'unofficial RP server' have an RP VIP server as well as Virtue, or just keep with Virtue and the hell with the F2P influx? -

Quote:I never thought I'd see a heroic Necro/ backstory that didn't look like a cop-out.Originally Posted by Lord_Pyro
Katherina Nightshade (Necro/Dark)
A young necromancer from a long line of necromancers, Kath's parents and siblings were killed in a robbery when she was still a child. Left with none of her family's fortune, and only their longtime servant, Nichol (a powerful lich who owed allegiance to Kath's father), Kath had no choice but to take odd jobs around the isles, using her necromancy to help whoever she could.
She has a special affinity for lost souls, and helps them remember who, or what they are, and move on to their afterlife. A few of them have decided to stay with her, protecting her as she continues her work. Her personal style of necromancy is unique, in that she doesn't bind souls to her will, they join her by choice. Sure, the bodies are a bit crummy, but they're fully replacable.
She has recently taken up residence in Paragon City, and lives in her Supergroup base with Nichol and the rest of the souls that decided to stay with her. She's continued her work to help others as a full-blown hero now, and continues to help the dead find their way home.
Bravo. -
I just looked through the guides section and saw not a single mention of Electric Blast.
I looked through the first page and a half and saw a similar lack of mention of Electric Blast.
I've recently begun working on an Elec/Kin Corruptor, and I've seen comments that Electric Blast on blasters is fairly gimped, so I find myself wondering if there's some disadvantage to Electric Blast, on Corruptors or in general? What strengths and weaknesses does it have?
And if it plays at or above average Corruptor primaries, why no guide? -

Not to mention the often underrated stacking slows that virtually keep foes in their place.
Frankly, I can understand it. Slows look fun, but don't really feel fun. -

There are some big downsides, however.

Other than that though, they're awesome, and you should try one. -
Quote:Oddly, my friend and I have found those areas quite frustrating on our Brute/Scrapper team. Granted, they're not nearly as frustrated as our Blaster/Corruptor team is...Originally Posted by Dark-Water
I didn't know people WANTED to be in Praetoria :P. Just kidding, Praetoria has some great story, graphics, and is a refreshing change from the standard 1-20 content (especially villian side :/), I just know that I end up soloing a lot of my lower level toons, and I find the zones have some frustrating missions if you are not a brute/tank/scrapper... Perhaps that is just because I am used to those ATs more than others...

Ok, first we gotta cross brace the head beam here to make sure the subsidence doesn't cause a crack in the main line.

Try 'heavy melee fighter' for tanks, 'medium melee fighter' for brutes and scraps, and 'light melee fighter' for stalkers and blasters.
Yes, blasters. -

I run Thugs/Dark, but if you want something more dark-oriented in the primary, Demon/Dark seems very highly rated too. -

I dont know why so many people want Illusion for Dominators when very little in the set would actually benefit from Domination.

Coffee and donuts in the lounge. I'll just be in my library.

... See, I think it's funny that this is turning people from "Oh god not Freedom" to "Hey, that's kinda cool."
Personally, I think that sounds obnoxious. The new character creation interface sounds like an insult to the user's intelligence, and ditching the sewers seems like yet another drastic inconsistency toward their ever-changing opinion on farming and grinding.
And I liked the Breakout and Outbreak tutorials. -
Retro levelling?
Psh. You know how I level my toons?
I log in. I run the tutorial. I run missions for my contact in City Hall. When they're finished, I run missions for the contact they introduce me to.
I keep running missions until I'm level 20.
I didn't even come into the game until around i13 and I'm still more retro than you, son. The sewer and the AE farms can lick my sphincter. -

I rarely see Psy (who does anywhere), never see archers, or Ice it seems.
But seriously, Ice blast isn't too bad, it's just sort of... there, mostly.
