  1. Great detailed explanation here!

    Dark days, my friend, Dark days.
  3. @Linarra. Great practice last night. I'm getting more of an idea of how to 'strategerize.' Still need to work on sandboxing skills, I'm new to the Grav/TA, so I'm still laying out my trays and getting used to the powers.

    I'm surprised at the sophisticated coordination (all my previous encounters with PvP have been in the Fight Nights, and those were usually effectively Free-for-alls, with an occasional call on targets. This stuff is "State-of-the-Art-Bang-Bang!"

    Nice name, team Pimp Hand.
  4. Hyperstrike, /agree.

    However, I do have one comment on the original... where are the fins? I can barely SEE them!

  5. I would be very excited to hear we would get access to Incarnate as low as L45. *Hoping this is correct*

I am not sure many realize the amount of effort that goes into running an event of this size. It's a massive undertaking and a massive headache. MP you did a fantastic job.

    Again props to MP for a great PERC event.
    Once again, I have to correct you on the Internetiquette.

    (Hey, did I just make up a word?? If so, (R), (TM) and everybody give me moneh! If not, everybody get bent, and give me MORE MONEH!)

    But back to my point... Oh yeah. Your reasonableness and impartiality have NO PLACE here on these tubes. This is Irrational Opinionland, where people can say whatever the **** they want and to **** wit all o' yas!

    So in that spirit, I say,

    VIOLENCE!!
  7. Linarra, my first 50 and my main, archery blaster. After that, my Ill/Rad is versatile, my Widow is lots of fun, my Rad defender makes everything easier for my team, my other archer is very strong... it will be hard to choose.
  8. The key phrase was uttered a few pages ago, paraphrased - it should take a WELL INFORMED player less than a month to achieve the goal, and a player who does not avail him/herself of all the tools available may never reach the goal.

    Frankly, it is people like YOU who make people leave a particular game/community - unable to learn, closed minded, shortsighted. Please don't give anyone advice about any part of this game. Your help is not really needed here.

    Your ignorance is no longer worthy of comment from me, and I hope others join me in halting the futlity of helping you understand that, for starters, you are not an expert on this subject. Good day.
  9. I noticed some talk last night on the channels that I (Linarra) spent too mcuh on my purchases. To those people, I am very happy with my purchases. Would I have liked to have gotten everything cheaper? Hels yah! But do I feel cheated in any way? Nope. It was all in good fun, and to be clear, I understood it was a gamble.

    Though I wasn't that lucky, I hoped that I might find a shockingly awesome 'unique' or 'purple' in one of those groups. Nothing THAT awesome, but some Very sweeeet stuff nonetheless. So, I'm very happy.

    With Issue 19's new inherent fitness this means by slotting it into Health it will benefit me forever and always.

    It would cost me 35 a-merits which would take me at least 70 days or 35 days plus 700 million influence.

    So given all that I would happily bid a (likely losing) bid of 1.5B (I'd be keeping the .5B in reserve to get some other stuff and craft it)
    OK, so so far, 1.5B is the latest bid. Please CMIIW. But I started at 1 INF, and someone is willing to pay 1.5B. This disproves your assertion that market sellers set prices.

This situation, while being bad to begin with at 2 bill +, is ripe for con artists and griefers.
    This has already been explained. It is possible, and simple, and easy to grasp. Can someone please explain this? No time here (leaving work).

    Vast it is, indeed. In DEED.

    This is a good summary of a potential solution to the problem. It may already be in the works, who knows. You've hit the head squarely on the nail, I think. Wait...

    Allow me to prove you WRONG.

    I recently received a L37 Panacea Proc. This is not a real auction, but as an example, I'll open bidding at One (1) Inf. Please tell me what you all would pay for this proc, as if it were a real auction, and please be honest and bid what your character actually has on hand/liquid and what you would actually pay. The faux bidding will commence immediately and stop on Saturday, 11/13 Midnight, and the final bid at that time will be the one I accept as real. If at all possible, for the last bidder before 12:00:01 AM Sunday, please post some sort of proof that you have that liquid amount available (like showing any open unfilled bids holding enough cash on the auction house as a screenshot.)

    What will this prove? I'll let another person who knows about this stuff explain what it proves (briefly, please).

    MY main beef, if I had one, wouldn't be so much that they don't explain that the kids all forget that he dies, but that no one explains how HE COMES BACK TO LIFE OVER AND OVER!

  16. Yup, it was a clear memory for me from my childhood.

    Skyline...

    Thanks for the headsup... so probably either Unstoppable, Megamind, or Fair Game this weekend.
  18. Also need the 'waaay overdramatic Thespian death' emote. The PeeWee death is not bad, but still too short.

    For the M+/space-horror crowd, we could have the 'Alien' Ash/'Aliens' Bishop death emotes.

    Godfather death emote when the Family gets you.

    Other suggestions should be forthcoming...

    Thank you very much! Saying this an infinite number of times wouldn't be nearly enough.

    Besides the sheer awesome functionality it provides, I'd also like to thank you for the app having a small footprint (this being important to me as I run a lot of tools at once). If I remember correctly both HeroStats and Glycerine took much more resources.
    Agreed! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!

If you dare to start discussing concepts, exploring ideas, or following threads of logic, the insults only get louder, and the indignant statements flow like water.
    No sir, you are making claims that have repeatedly been disproven. You have not verified that what you say is in any way actually happening; you make claims based on observations that are not repeatable or verifiable in any way.

    If you want to be taken seriously, take the time to gather evidence of what you claim. The onus is on YOU to prove your claim. It is not on others to disprove a claim you are making. If you want to continue to believe something you cannot show proof for, that is your choice, but it is also the dictionary definition of 'irrational'.

    You have continued to ignore several hundred replies trying to clarify what REALITY is, instead you insist on believing your limited perceptions.

    You have come to the place in the argument where, unless you can prove what you say,

    (because many others do not believe it to be the case, and I have seen very few [any??] posts that agree with your apparently irrational belief),

    you are currently considered a non-serious person who does not have a valid point.
  22. Love this idea. Not that I faceplant all that often... <.<. .>.>
