So, are you saying I'm Sam Kinison?

wasn't he fat and had long stringy hair?

Westley · 06-23-2009 05:45 PM

Yes.

Kryhavoc · 06-23-2009 05:49 PM

Personally, I like Positron TF. As soon as I hear a broadcast of it forming, I try to find a toon that hasn't run it yet.

I'm working on a list right now on "people that hate/are irritated by/annoyed by me", "neutral/indifferent people" and "people that like/tolerate me".

So far, I have:

The Irritated Gang - Nethergoat, Bad_Influence, Angry_Citizen, Dumpleberry, Jetpack, Karl_Rove_Man, Quincy_Archer, bamawolfie, Sooner

The Neutrals: Laser_Judas, Zombie_Man, Fulmens, Turbo_Ski, Perfect_Pain

The Likies: Zekiran_Immortal... yeah, I think that's about it.

Am I missing anyone?

Westley · 06-23-2009 05:54 PM

I'd say probably Neutral, you diss me and you act like I'm "okay" in equal amounts just about.

MunkiLord · 06-23-2009 05:59 PM

I think you're amusing(even if it is stupid amusing sometimes). Plus you get extra points for trying to be like my by registering the same day I did. But I don't want anybody to know I think you're funny(it's kinda embarrassing to admit), so keeping me in neutral is probably best.

My fastest ever positron tf was with a full team at a little over an hour. We were all 15+ blaster with movement powers. We had only one death. We just all jumped each spawn and blasted the living crap out of them, it was great. The spawns only lasted a few seconds each before they were completely mowed down. We had a several aoe blasters and a few single target blasters. I highly recommend it. Of course we were all experienced players. It was a thing of beauty.

Can i be in the "thinks PK's posts need more references to llamas, lamas and catgirls" crowd?

The one "L" lama, he's a priest.
The two "L" llama, he's a beast.
But i would bet my silk pajamas,
That there are no three "L" lllamas.

[i]Edit: Incidentally, i like the Positron TF when run with a small team (2-4), or even a full team when run with a team of friends. We'll just tear right through it like they're hiding cookies from us. Double Dutch Cocoa Cookies with Chocolate Chips.

Jack Power · 06-23-2009 06:41 PM

I like PK. But I apperantly don't have enough posts to matter.

About Posi. It's, for me, always a matter of the team, not the TF in any case.

I just recently did my first one, this past weekend with some SG mates. It was me, the tank, a elec blaster, ice/emp def, dm/sr scrapper. Did it in just under four hours, with no team wipes, and only about 6 deaths. I think it was a first time Posi experience for all of us. To me, it's a reminder of what kind of enemies we first cut our teeth on as Heroes.

It's super boring and super annoying.

if you just want the badge for some reason, run it with the minimum # of players. Smaller spawns make it somewhat less awful.

But yes, it is way up on the list of badly designed junk that needs to be replaced.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was annoyed when they changed TFs to always spawn for the number of players joined instead of online, as the few times I have gotten that badge for Task Force Commander was by having some friends form a small Posi team with some characters that they didn't plan to play for a while and then I would solo it.

and, of course, Dead.

I probably don't have enough posts to count in the PKverse (although I did just get slammed for high post count snootiness yesterday, I'm so proud).

Since I got bored with arguing with you and Fulmens and started playing stuff other than FF.

Is there a column for "Rolls his eyes at you depending on the Thread Subject, but otherwise is amused with you"?

You don't need to nuke it from orbit, just stab Posi and you'll have all the splosion you want.

Perhaps you should move this sentiment over to the thread where people are posting their cleavage in attempts to get attention; this thread is very small potatos in comparison.

I didn't create the thread in order to discuss myself, post pictures of my cleavage or announce to the forums that I have a list of who likes me, who hates me and who is indifferent to me; I leave such balderdash to Phailed_Komedian. [It would not surprise me in the least were he to post pictures of HIS cleavage in order to stir the Haterade a bit.... but I digress].

This thread is really about the fact that the Positron TF is, at least as far as design goes, truly the definition of... yeah, failure at having fun. And that's all it is. I have heard about this TF for years, and it really is a badly-designed snoozefest.

I agree with you.

However, if you have a level 50 toon with a second build designed for low level exemplaring and IO'd out such that you can SuperSpeed and Stealth it and TP your teammates around... then it's a very lucrative source of Merits and can be done in under 2 hours.

I've got the debuff, heal, and crowd control. If I grab two blasters, it's under 90 minutes as Perfect Pain says.
