You must be real fun at parties.

I usually start out reading, and if your diction is boring, grandiloquent, pedantic, or bloviating, I start skimming. Don't blame me for not reading when you can't be bothered to write in a way that respects my time. Also, I start skimming (or stop reading and fire off a targeted response) if your argument is retarded.

"Mantle" shit is even worse than killing super heroes.

I am not voting, but I'll give an opinion on the whole thing: I want Stateman - and Sister Psyche - to have never been killed in the first place. I think it'd dumb that IRL office/business-politics got tied up into the story. I don't care how much of a DB the IRL Statesman may have been, anger towards him need not be taken out on the character (and the player base who liked the character). I think killing super heroes is lame, and bringing them back is generally even lamer. I am interested to eventually hear your idea to bring him back, though.

There are only 3 actual MMOs on that list. Also, WoW only has 325,000 players? That's gotta be only "concurrent players". I know their sub count is still measured in millions. Also-also, as reply 1 says, it's flippin' Monday morning. If you want to talk about population, measure on Saturday night.

Dumb reason to leave, TBH. "Be the change you want to see in the world" and all that.

Thanks for the fun, Monty (and crew)! It was a blast. Nice to see so very many faces tonight!

<TWO HOURS! I'm already warming up my seat. ...because if I don't come early, I'm liable to forget entirely. x_x

HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE!

It's not "shortcuts" it's pattern recognition. And when it's the majority "giv[ing] the rest of us a bad name"... I miss when games were hard enough that CC actually mattered.

Wish I remembered the electric-based names I wanted a few months ago. x_x But hey, I got Delta-V for my Kinetic/Blast Defender!

Oh that's a mercy. No worries, do whatcha gotta do. ^^ And yeah, 9 people plus your crew for 1-3 hours on a specific night sounds like a scheduling nightmare.

Apparently I'm losing my mind. I would have sworn this post said you were doing two games in October, but re-reading it, I can't even see what might have given me that impression. x_X

I did not. Damn you, Poe' Laaaaaaaaw! Gets me every time! They may have been "talking about it" as a goal, but the game wasn't built from the ground up *for* PvP, or it would've been in at launch in a big way. If I want a polished, balanced, fun PvP experience, I want the game to be completely *built* around PvP. In any other kind of game it's a side-show at best.

Of all the wonderful PvP games, I will never understand why people insist on pushing it into game built around PvE full of people who are only interested in PvE.

Bummer for people who like to freeze characters at <50, but I guess a year is kind of a long time.

Most fun? Hellions. Skuls. Outcasts. Trolls. You can't go wrong with any of the low-level street thugs. Also the Clockwork are fun. The zappy noises get a little bit old, but I really love their designs. Least fun? Vahzilok - They're super easy until suddenly you're dead, or you miss interrupting the enbalmed's self-destruct. Not nearly so bad if you have hover so the Doctors can't hack you up with their cleavers, but if you can't fly... Circle of Thorns - I actually don't mind the maps that much (nostalgia hits me hard with them; though I admit they can be confusing and hard to navigate), I just don't at all enjoy the enemies themselves. Not really sure why. Probably has something to do with the mages self-destructing. Tsoo (West Steel Canyon) - I don't mind most of them, but the sorcs and the ancestor spirits are a complete PITA and waste my time.

Lack of communication is infuriating. It takes 5 seconds to respond "No thanks, we got it."

No, no, missing it wasn't worth it. I understand the confusion, I sarcastically used the under-stating "one of the times of all time" with no indicator that I was being sarcastic. >.< Poe's Law gets me every. time.

Everyone who didn't show up, you missed out on one of the times of all time. I hope it was worth it (spoiler: it wasn't).

Game on tomorrow!

You said "know" but you mean "assume". And you know what they say when you assume things... Funny how in your own pithy, insulting response, you rail against a pithy, insulting response. EDIT: Careful you don't fall off that high horse. You're probably one of those DPS nerds who thinks that you're "Carrying" when you kill everything before anyone else can hit a button, completely ignorant of the fact that DPS is zero sum. Guess it never even occurred to you that just maybe people play team content to play as part of a team. So yeah, go play solo if that's what you want.

So don't invite stalkers if I actually want to play the game; got it.

So why are you in a discussion about teams when you don't do them?

I think if you're pulling stuff the rest of the team isn't, you better make sure you can keep aggro on them, and that the team can handle you being MIA from their fights. Pretty much. We have loadout slots for a reason. Also, getting ALL THE POWER is wildly overrated. A victory without risk isn't.
