  1. I've started to notice something similar, an alarming trend of players, especially tankers/brutes/scrappers et al, to complain and comment on knockback powers and how players should be more careful when they use it.....like we have much of a choice! I've personally had it happen to me, a tanker complaining about knockback when I'm on my EN/EN blaster and I fire off a Nova. I get it, it spreads the bad guys, but usually, when I Nova the vast majority of the enemies are wiped out and only a couple of the higher ones survive so it's not too hard to mop them up. Said player also started telling me about how I could get enhancements that would turn it in to knockdown. Yeah, I know, I plan on getting it when I'm a. a high enough level and b. when I have the inf/merits to get them! Plus, I think it only works in one power anyway! They whinged about it so much I politely made my apologies and quietly left them team, only for them to berate me in tells, claiming I'd thrown a hissy fit :D until I blocked them. I would have put this down to bad luck but I've seen it on other teams at least three other times now, usually on players who are playing their characters perfectly fine. Since when did it become ok to tell other players how to play their own toons? I've never once told a tank they should have taken taunt or complained at an archery defender that they don't have a heal, so why complain at a blaster for something built into their powers??

    Badge channel?

    Is there a good badge channel out there for Torchbearer at all? I know the TF channel sometimes talks badges but I was looking for one specific to badges that will let people help with hunts, MO runs, badge missions etc.
  3. Just to add to this excellent guide, I found a VERY fast villain mission in the 1-14 range, Operative Kuzmin - Underdogs Never Win Part 1 - kill 5 longbow on the street, all grey so done in a second, all very close to the contact Part 2 - Interrogate Longbow Prisoner - again, close to the contact, simple talk to mission, done in seconds, especially if you chose the last option for the conversation Part 3 - Find 3 codes from Longbow Technicians, once again, close to contact, kill 3 pairs of longbow for the code keys Part 4 - Arm 3 more bombs - Once again, close to contact, 3 glowies to click, all the nearby longbow are grey so don't affect you, all glowies close to each other so done in seconds. Part 5 - Destroy Longbow's Base in Mercy - Only actual door mission in the arc, very close by, always same door, kill a couple longbow to get the costume, run past everyone to the final room, listen to longbow conversation, click glowie, kill two lieutenants and then defeat ambush. The last battle against the 2 lieutenants is the only slightly tricky parts, especially when debuffed or no enhancement, but the whole arc takes just a few minutes, maybe 5 minutes with no travel powers, is very fast and also works great for the time and no deaths mission as well. Got all of the badges in about 15 minutes earlier :)

    Who's Missing?

    Time for a few from the EU, methinks Starting with Bridger, the early forum moderator and community manager for the original EU forums, he was awesome and actually used his spare time to organise a fantastic PVP tournament! Then there's players like Psygon, Extragonk and the Psy-sisters, the originators of the old Sheepies SG, my first SG and excellent people, all of them. Not to mention the always lovely Mazos, one of my first close friends in the game! Miss all of them and would love to see them back here. Then there are players like Snow, of the Femme Fatales, one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet in game. And nutcases like the PVP expert Xanthus, and the always bat-shit crazy, Tainted Greek! Man, he was a crazy loon :) Finally, a couple of people who have passed away in RL, the wonderful Ruby Dragon and the brilliantly funny Mighty Saguaro. Mighty passed while the game was still live and there was a memorial for him in game, hundreds turned out for it, it was amazing. Sadly, Ruby, Marianne to her friends, died a few months ago after far too many illnesses to mention and she will be missed by everyone who knew her. I'm sure I'm forgetting people, though, which shows how many people you meet in this game :) Oh, and one I'm not sure if we should mention as they might reappear, like Candyman......Golden Girl! :D
  5. Aerie!! Now there's a name I remember well, always an angel!! And man, do I remember Tainted Greek! He was all kinds of nuts :D

    Anniversary Badges

    Only in May???? Awww man, so long to wait now :(
  8. This. Very much this! I went to bed, woke up the next morning and donations had been opened, filled and closed before I had chance to donate, again. I want to pay my share, dammit. Someone post the Fry meme, please? :D
  9. Actually, no. The old boards had an off topic forum that had the specific rules of no politics, religion etc and it worked extremely well. People talked about movies, TV, comic books, geek stuff like conventions, cosplay etc. For an internet forum, it was remarkably well behaved and one of my favourite places on the internet. Hell, people who barely played the game anymore still chatted in the OT forum.
  10. So, I'm guessing this fell down the board because of lack of interest? Or is it just a dead parrot I'm trying to sell? :)
  11. PLIGHT!!! You old PVP whore! Where you been?? :)
  12. Now there's a name I remember :D
  13. I really miss the tracking of my badges through the site. I can understand why the original one won't be linked to here but is anyone planning on a new badge tracking site at all? So hard to keep track of what I need next, even with the excellent spreadsheet :)
  14. Glad I'm, not the only one. All we need adding is a Spoiler tag :D
  15. Dunno if this was seen by anyone important or not? Or was it just a bad idea? :D
  16. I know you guys and gals are incredibly busy setting up the awesomesauce that is these new servers and this is a minor thing in comparison, but, is there any chance that we could possibly add an Off Topic forum for us to chat in, especially when the servers are down? I used to love the OT forums on the old boards and it would be a great place to discuss things like Avengers Endgame, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who etc. Usual rule would apply, try to steer away from political stuff, add a spoiler tag if it's a new movie etc, but I do miss the chance to chat and compare notes and theories about the subjects we all love :)
  17. Holy crap!! Spawnie?? :D more to the point HOLY CRAP COIN!!!! COIN? WHERE??? oh, wait.....right :D Colin! I thought I had seen you toda on the LFT channel HAH! You know, I still have a copy of the accidental DJ Colin radio jingle that was made for me :D
