Emotes

This is mostly for my own reference, because I don't feel like writing them down, or copying to something else and printing. The list came off the forum, from a post by Back Alley Brawler, and is every emote currently in the game. Obviously, you have to type "/e" "/em" or ";" before the word in-game to make it work.

So, what have I been doing?

Aside from that nifty character ranking on the side of the blog there. (Thanks, Keen!!!)

You can see over there that I've gotten a few levels, including getting the re-made Andromeda Balan to 50. A lot of that was AE farms, both before and after the Posi-rant. I had a Widow that got into her 30s with AE farms, too, but she got deleted because: 1) I felt NO attachment to her since nothing but her first 10 levels was gotten outside the AE, and 2) after trying to level an elec/dark corr, I realized that I do NOT like red side. I just don't. For one thing, pretty much all the teaming red-side right now is AE farm. Yeah, I know. It has its place. But that's not all I want to do, especially at level 15 on a team struggling slowly, SLLLLOOOWWWLLYYY through a boss farm. It's too bad, because the elec/dark was pretty nifty. Electric is not the most damaging set, but how cool does the red lightening look, especially paired with all the dark effects? I 'll tell you how cool, REALLY cool. I might try that again sometime soon.

I made an AR/Energy that's been a lot of fun, both for game-play and RP. "Skaza" means "destruction" in Slovak, by the way. I remade Roxi Toxic for probably the 10th time, this time as a defender. Rad/rad, of course. She's 15, and she's running into that same AE problem that I ran into red-side, only not quite as much.

I've been running a lot of task forces with the 50s, mostly Andy and Fyre, and using the merits. For Andy, to give her an LoTG +recharge and a few other tweeks, and with Fyre, I've used the merits to buy expensive recipes, like the Numina unique, and selling them. Fyre has... quite a bit of influence, even after I got her the field crafter accolade. If anyone tells you that you can make money doing that, they're lying to you. Badly. Hit them with something and run away. It's a cruel, terrible lie. Okay, maybe before i14 and crazy salvage/market prices you could, but not anymore. Not even close. Mo's been earning merits in Hami raids, and has a few new pieces like a LoTG and a Numina unique. Empathing for the raids is not hard, and there usually isn't an overabundance of emps at raids, so I've been taking her instead of Fyre.

I've been thinking of making another new alt, but aside from another run at the elec/dark corruptor, I don't have any ideas at the moment, so I've mostly been running 50s for influence and merits when Vagz and I aren't working on one of our duos, either the characters that are meant to be duos or impromptu duos.

Those runs with the 50s on TFs, though, have been on well-organized teams, mostly with the KiTTY channel. I did do a PuG ITF out of boredom the other day, though. That was a mistake. I've been running ITFs with people from the KiTTY channel, on the maximum difficulty, and we've been finishing in just slightly over an hour on average. The PuG ITF took 2h37. Yep.

i15 should be out soon, and I am looking forward to it, just for the new faces. Like Keen said in one of his blog posts, several of my characters will be getting "plastic surgery." OOC, of course. Off the top of my head, both Andy and Skaza will be getting new faces, and possibly several others.

Briefly, a word on my opinion about the Going Rogue expansion. I don't have one. Why? Because we know virtually nothing about it. I have a very much "wait-and-see" attitude about it. Honestly, though? I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed, because they're running away with the speculations. My take on the announcement is that you won't be able to take existing characters "rogue," especially since the announcement mentions a "parallel universe." I don't think current CoH or CoV characters will be able to interact with the Going Rogue universe, except maybe in PvP or co-op zones, just like our current characters in CoH and CoV can't. Yes, absolutely, I could be wrong. But I won't be disappointed or even surprised if I am. Still, though. Wait and see.

The announcement said "CHAOS" and that's what it was. But, in a good way.

I Don't Like Issue 14

Don't say that out loud, and please don't spread it around. Mobs with torches and pitchforks will show up. The Mission Architect is sacred and the best thing ever to happen to the game, if you read the forums. I'm... just not impressed. Or maybe just not interested, or both.

But, there's like a hundred new badges you can get! Yeah? Well, I could not care less about badges. I think you have to have some sort of collector gene to "get it," and I don't.

But you can earn tickets to save and get what you want! Oh, yeah? I thought that's what merits were for? And before that, it was just influence, which worked fine for me. Have you looked at the market lately? I mean, really? The market's always been... a little shaky, but right now* it's just ridiculous. Sure, selling common salvage is great. But wait until you try to buy something or, worse, wait until you try to sell some of that rare salvage you had saved to finance alts.

But there's unlimited new content! Think of the creativity! There are thousands of missions available. That's very true. Last I looked, the MA numbers were over 50,000. Part of that has either been removed by GMs and some have been unpublished by players. A HUGE part of that is farms. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate farming. I've participated in it before, and I probably will again. It's boring, but it can be effective. In fact, I was trying to get Tresa some XP last week, and came across a farm MA mission where the lieutenants were called "Tickets" and the bosses were called "MOAR Tickets." I finished the mission, and plan to never go back to it. I was on a PuG with Mo in Peregrine, and we ran a farm MA mission where the enemies were called "Meat." Mo got half a level off of that, and I hardly had to do anything. So, it served its purpose. It was effective, but boring.

Not all the MA missions are farm missions, though. A lot people actually tried to create actual missions. Like the person who tried a tribute "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Or the arc that I was on yesterday with a team where the missions were meant to resemble "Snakes on a Plane," "Shaun of the Dead" (which had the title character's name misspelled as "Shawn," not to mention other spelling and grammatical errors), and the Austin Powers movies. Aside from the fact that the devs have forbidden even parodying copyrighted material, they were awful. "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" tribute was at best boring and pointless. The other was just terrible.

I've seen more than a few missions that someone wrote featuring their supergroups. That's very nice for those people and their supergroups. I haven't bothered attempting any of those.

Some people tried to write missions that fit into the game world. I've run into a couple of those that were are comparable to anything you might find in the game outside of the MA.

Here's the thing, though, for the people that actually tried. Some people write very well. Some people write pretty good. Some people should not be allowed to form written words. Most people, though, are mediocre writers. Once you wade though all the farms, the missions with (TEST) after the title, the ones with such "questionable content" that you know just by looking at the title that it'll be pulled within the hour, and the ones that have spelling and grammar mistakes just within the title, chances are you're going to end up with a sort of okay mission.

Of course, there are exceptions. But first you have to get past the 49,650 missions and arcs that are not.



* "right now" because that will likely change in the next couple of weeks for better or worse. It will either settle into a more predictable pattern which will become accepted as the norm OR something new will be introduced, again, and the market will change accordingly, again.

Way Off Topic -- The World Is Ending, and All I Got Was This Lousy Bear

This has absolutely nothing to do with the game, but it could be the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.



That's right. The world is ending. But we have bears, so it's cool.

Oh, Right...

I was going to post this like two weeks ago, but I kept forgetting, and now it's not new anymore... But I was reading a post on the forums, which made me remember, and maybe not everyone's seen it already, so...
