  1. I have a lot of fun with my sonic/sonic Hard Melody, ran her to 50 pretty fast (no farms or other PL activities).  Multiple Cones works great once you get in the groove and proc pretty well.  I have zero complaints.  Give it a spin, all the colors of the rainbow.

  2. Instead, lets make this a drinking game.

     

    - Every time you have to pop a Tier 9, do a shot of really really cheap tequilla.

    - Every time a you use a Rez, do a shot.

    - Team splits in high difficulty content, Chug a beer.

    - Fire Farm - log off and beat yourself with a stand of concertina wire . . . and drink a Lone Star Beer.  this is supposed to hurt.

    - Every tauntless tank, do a shot

    - Petless Mastermind, a shot

    - Kheldin Quantum Panic - laugh and chug a beer

     

    The list would be endless but you would enjoy the game . . . for about an hour then you will be unconscious on the carpet.

     

  3. Funny thing with the pet names.  Our cats all had individual names (Max, Chirp, SNIVIT and Kraken) but our dogs were clearly City of Heroes Compliant

     

    Dawg

    Dawg II

    Dawg 83 (The year we got her)

    Dawg With Two G's (We literally called him Dawg with two G's though we just called him Dawg in conversation)

    Dawg Gone (The one my parents got in 87 when I joined the Navy)

    Between Adam-12 and Emergency!, those were must see shows of my childhood.  

    I know right?  I was so going to be a firefighter-paramedic when I grew up.  Now I did get trained in firefighting in the Navy, even fought a real one once.  I loved seeing those guys pop up in other things; DeSoto as the bar owner in the good Roadhouse.  Dr. Bracket as the C-130 pilot in Megaforce.

     

    Now I have to create a Mantooth.  Only an IV D-5W with Ringers Lactate will cure my altitis.

    So I got the name Rampart and for the life of me I am stuck on the backstory of Johnny Gage, EMT by day, Defender by night

    That show was awesome!  The Smithsonian had a big display about a decade ago about the show and how it was a key factor in the expansion of the paramedic program in the United States.  If you go to the LA County Fire Department museum, they have both trucks and the squad which were used for real by firefighters even after the show ended.  The 51 truck was actually Universal Studios lot fire truck which is why you see them in a lot of movies form the 70s and 80s.

     

    When I was in the Navy, shipboard Corpsmen (medics) referred to the primary first response kit of theirs as the Johnny Gage Bag.

  6. I tend to gimp my trollers and doms a little.  While I take my AoE immob I never take my AoE lock if it is a PBAoE which is pretty much most of em.  It really hasn't caused me any heartburn in play; solo or with with someone herding cats.  Now it certainly is their prerogative to not team with CTL/DOM, but I would consider myself lucky I was skipped in that case.  Plenty of teams willing to let me throw forklifts at evil.

    The way I used is:

    Create new character and log back to character select

    Have new char on same screen as char you want the name on.

    Change new char's name slightly

    Immediately change old name to the wanted name.

    Then you can delete the temp char.

    I did the same thing, except I waited until i was sober.  Last night I was totally afraid I would botch it

    I want what you're drinking.

    Okay so sorry bout last night and the drunk post.  I generally avoid that.  What I was drinking was Patron tequila and Pacifico Clara beer, its my one-two party go to.  I pulled the Patron out with the singular expectation of doing one shot after a failed attempt to get High Beam.  So at 2130, on Excelsior it was unavailable so I did a shot.  Said it was a nice try and then jumped to an alt that has Tina Mac Arc going.  Do the Marauder in the city mission, finish and its 2140 so I say lets give it one more try just in case.  Character select, new character High Beam.  Green Check!  OMG Becky!  Click click as fast as possible so shes standing in AP and I am just stunned, especially seeing all the others standing there many I am sure feeling the same way.  So I grab a second shot and pound the Pacifico.  Then I get to chatting with my friends and SG mates and its war stories (in game and in RL) and name stories for an hour and during that time I had several more shots and a second then third beer.  Bottle count at desk is the only proof cause I swear I don't remember a third beer; not blackout, I may be a retired Navy Chief but I have some self control.  Anyway I made that post and its nowhere as bad as I was dreading, nothing like that wedding toast incident in 1989, or my 33rd birthday party, or my retirement form the mil, or . . . you get the point.

     

    Anyway, thanks to the devs for the name release.  I only wanted that name and I got it so I cannot complain about anything.  I had tried to reach out to the owner of that name for more than a year in game using their global and never got response.  Nothing stalky, just an initial, then a moth later a hey remember me have you thought about it, then one about three months ago.  I have never seen the global pop up in game so I don't feel too bad.  Oh and yeah I just assumed it was a Beam Rifle.

     

    Anyway, everyone have a safe weekend.

    as a former deck ape i can say the true joy is in asking stupid questions in a way that makes it seem like

    1) you actually dont know

    2) you care about the answer

     

    this is very entertaining in between cleaning and hauling

    And the best part is, most people feared the First Division guys so they never got called on it.

    “There is no such thing as a stupid question…” never survived modern humanity.

    In the Navy we Chief's had a saying, "There is no such thing as a stupid question when it is asked the first time.  If becomes stupid when it has been answered then is asked again."

     

    The exception was . . . its always stupid when asked by an Ensign.
