This was the best edition of the Scoop in a long time, for me. The "history of PVP" and the "finding the equilibrium price in the market" articles were very interesting and useful. Nice job, guys.

The bit about how some costume patterns are broke is kind of weird to have in the Scoop, that felt more like a bug report.

Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!

The history of PvP and JoJo's in depth report on the market's equilibrium point were awesome.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan.

Gradually? Gradually!?! How about Sharp drop instead? There is nothing gradual about it.

Both the PvP history and the market equilibrium articles were amazing. In my opinion, it's the best edition in the history of the Scoop.

I have to admit I read the PvP article multiple times

Also I really liked the costume article as well. I remember flipping through the first time to get to the PvP article again and seeing lots of 1/2 naked people and trying to ignore. I finally read the darn thing and looked closer at the pictures (closer in a non-gross way) and was very impressed.

Mantid is responsible for picture layout.

And Mantid used the photobucket slide show creator to do so for the base images.

Good writeup of the pvp past, but just to nitpick on my spines/regen scrapper on offense, it was actually a hybrid role and my 1st priority was to taunt blasters to disrupt enemy targeting (confront/challenge build, both 6 slotted acc/5range), and attack the called spike target in between taunts. So essentially that build was a defensive player primarily, offense 2nd.

spiners were pretty fierce back in the day when you could slot all dmg in their attacks, criticals would hit for over 700, ouch. plus also the 80 ft range (was more for me since i slotted 1acc/dmg and 5dmg/range in my impale)
