it seems so hard. I think if they are going to release the choke hold on epics, something far more grand than costume pieces, they should switch these costume piece task/strike force things to give rewards for group players that make sense and leave the costume pieces to the other content in the zone, so people have a reason to do it. It's always dead there. I have not seen more than 4 or 5 people on the whole game at the hours I play in the past 2 years.
We can try though. Thanks for being kind. It's so rare.

Don't worry about it. I hear they'll match you up with random players so you won't have to bother with the whole 'forming a team' thing.|

I just want to do it alone. Not wait like a phone call on hold. I hope they don't take this game the route of the other mmos. They are all so very much alike. I just like to play alone and there's no one really on to play with when I do anyway. Plus with so many characters I have, it's too hard to keep finding people in the time frame I have. I mean I fled other mmos because of that very reason, to come to this better one... unless they change the key feature I like about this game. =(

yeah I mean there is newbies on or low levels or people I know are jerks but no one 50. During double experience at those times I never saw a SINGLE "real" person. I saw farmers in the MA for some reason with all these names like framlord and stuff but no one else at all in any of the zones. I dont' just search which is easy enough but I was all over the game playing. I encountered someone using the trial, those farmers and a couple level 30s. Nothing else for the entire weekend between 3am-6am

I think it'll still stay pretty solo-friendly, inclduing the Incarnate system.

I hope so. I REALLY do. Hey by chance you don't play DDO, do you?

ah okay I was just curious. Someone on this forums got me started on it (then ditched me and the internet) but the character building is confusing to me.
I've been waiting on Tirumph for an hour now, and you've not shown up - or even sent a /tell - and now it's way too late to start an ITF

Still, keeping a girl waiting isn't polite

this is one of my two concerns. forced teaming, while i can get teams, would force my friends to play outside of their comfort zone(duoing or three playering) and i'm not a fan of that. My second major concern is that one of two groups (at a minimum) is going to be ticked off by this. there are people who want endgame content to be bleeding edge hard(like wow was in the beginning, apparently) requiring prples, carefully constructed set bonuses and specific team compositions. and another, including myself, wants the game to retain its casual friendliness and allow some room for those of us who arent crunching numbers day and night. past evidence seems to indicate that soloability and casual friendliness are known by the devs that they wouldn't do such a 180 at this stage of the game, but ya never know, it can't hurt to reiterate how bad of a decision turning the endgame into a leet-loot showdown with forced teaming, juust in case.

hah those people who want perfectly constructed purple builds for their team mates are crazy. I have been playing since the beginning and I have a ton of 50s and I still don't have 1 purple set. I never even got a purple recipe to drop and I'm doing the 8 person spawns solo and fast on the highest settings. I don't' want that kind of perfect group mentality in this game. They should just keep it like it is and let us solo or duo or group how we see fit and still get the rewards, just make the grouping stuff group rewards (for bases or something for those people who have big supergroups) and keep the personalization stuff like costume pieces etc for people who just solo or play casual with 1 or 2 friends.
Oh wait my time was off sorry about that. I got out late. I'm female too so not much a date as much as we would have been shopping for roman costume pieces that I will never see anyway... or purples.

thanks. I was all messed up today. I have some check up tomorrow and stuff and it just threw the whole night off for me. Nervous and stuff.

We can try some other time - although, that really is very late for starting a TF.

That's the hours i play.. forever and I can't change my job. On my days off I spend it with family, some serious stuff so no times to ever play games. So I just play this late and you can see how the game doesn't work that well for me if I can't solo stuff. I've never done a single task force since the game launched. It was rough back when we had to actually do the respec missions before the "empire" took over. Luckily we can buy them now, though I rarely need them and at this point just am building weird things for the sake of variety.|

I could go in now and play but I bet no one is on.

Wait, what? Are you US side now as well?
Does this mean you've actually got 2 characters now?*
I'm betting they're both MA/Regen though?

So you have more than one character now? Hurrah! Good for you. (yes, I know they're probably still the same one cloned).|

You should try different characters. Seriously, surely Golden Girl needs a sidekick or something? Some of the other sets and playstyles out there are truly wonderful. (I've even taken to playing an Empath recently. Something I'd previously avoided for the good of myself and others).

I'm sure you'll get the chance to do a TF eventually - the Hess and Katie ones are both pretty quick - less than an hour for each of them.
