Bat Country

[Righ]

Added another alt last night- Khorak, 5th level orc Hunter. Not sure which tradeskills I am gonna do yet. I wish there was a bowyer/fletcher skill, since I would rather use a bow than a gun if feasible.

Use one, you won't miss much. There are better bows out there than guns which makes up for the crafted shot benefit (higher DPS + agility bonus). The blue quality guns you can craft are not only average for a blue, but use materials you shouldn't be wasting on making an average blue.

Basically, use a gun if you go engineer, but don't go engineer to use a gun.

[WayAbvPar]

That is kind of how I felt- if I was going to use a gun, engineering was the obvious choice. With a bow...maybe I will try mining/blacksmithing. Or maybe double down on gathering skills to feed my other characters/guildies.


Admins- Righ really needs the title "Patron saint of quality footwear", at least until he changes his avatar  :mrgreen:

[Righ]

 It's an unusual name, well, he was an unusual saint. Let me know if you need any Nightscape boots.

[Shockeye]

Well, I did it. I resubscribed to WoW last night. And there was no one in Bat Country online. Bitches.

Did I mention my ping to Earthen Ring was 500ms last night?

WTF?

[Signe]

Righ is on every night but the character he's using, Irth, is in Misery Guild.  I've been messing with CoH free trial until today, when GW started up.  I mostly play days though, anyway.  I'm almost always alone regardless of what I'm playing.

[Rasix]

If you stop by Shadowsong, I'm mostly on my rogue, Lexanik.

I had to bust out of a poker tournament last night before I played- there were 4-5 of us on from 8pm PST forward I think. I did notice that you had logged in according to the guild roster- thought it was a mistake!  :-D

[Shockeye]

If I ever get the time I would like to play through a shadow-spec undead priest. But with 500ms pings...

I tried some of the other RP servers (on the west coast) that I have characters on. 200-300ms pings.

Every server was "high" population. I went to some crappy low pop servers and created a character and had nice low 30-60ms pings.

Too many people on each server, it seems.

[WayAbvPar]

I had a bit of choppiness last night  for the first time- I never checked my ping time. I wonder if it was a one time thing, or if ER is actually getting populated?

There were people EVERYWHERE. I have no idea if this is normal now or what.

I hate people.

[WayAbvPar]

Ok, I just found the perfect recruiting tool (and I use that word for a specific reason)-  Join the Horde on ER and you can kill Adonnis! Scroll down and see his post here. Don't forget to click the link to his Yahoo profile.

My god, what a fucking twat.

[Signe]

Oh Lordy!  He is pink beyond belief! 

(I might be getting my threads confused, but it fits)

[Righ]

All today's linkage has broken the Earthen Ring forum. What do you mean you want other people to read it?

[Shockeye]

I've started playing my Undead Priest, Shadebone. He's level 9 so feel free to send him lots of pretty dead baubles.

[EDIT] Well my time on Earthen Ring is again done. Even when logging in at oddball times my time is hardly ever below 200ms. I simply do not get a good connection to that server, even when the population is low. Time for this monkey to find a new place to hang his banana.

You could try to follow Signe. At least you will get to see a variety of different servers.

[Signe]

Hey!  There are still 81 servers I haven't seen!  Anyway, I've been playing CoH for a bit.  You'll find me on Victory as Frau Zerstorung.

[WayAbvPar]

Is ping really that big of a deal? Mine is usually green (which i think means <200ms), but I just don't see it mattering that much. It isn't like it is a FPS. Even PvP (which is a bit twitchy) is possible with a less than ideal ping time, AFAIK.

Last weekend was very bad.  I got disconnected from the server every 15 to 30 minutes.  It's probably getting populated, but it was also a holiday weekend.

My god, what a fucking twat.

I've never seen anybody more worthy of fast and furious PK-ing.  When do we start?  I'm only lvl 12, but maybe I can distract him by waving my arms around and yelling "Hey!  Fat-ass!" while the rest of you move in for the kill.

Am am What I am.I choose the name Adonnis because I want my character to reflect how and what I look like(ooc and in RP). Which is what most people do when choosing a name for a character. Adonis meaning in shape and Beautiful.(ooc) Though the name gets its reference from not a god but a mortal of greek mythology, In todays language its used to describes ones physique i.e. He has the body of Adonis. When RPing in Warcraft, Adonnis is the known to be humble and the fairest of night elves. See for yourself http://profiles.yahoo.com/diamondadonis1 So Aylor don't be mad be upset that im better looking then you (ooc and maybe if you did some push ups intsead of sitting on your butt eating chips all day and playing WOW you could be an Adonis too)

[sidereal]

Adonnis is the known to be humble

My sides hurt.

I'm starting an ER Troll Hunter tonight.  I shall name her Adonnisbane

[Righ]

I spotted Adonnis in the Burning Steppes last night, but he wasn't flagged, and didn't flag after I did. All pose and no balls.

[Train Wreck]

Any chance of having a Bat Country event this weekend?  I would suggest going Adonis hunting, but he seems to never be flagged.  Maybe we can all just get drunk and invade the ER WoW forum en masse.

BTW, thanks a billion for the bags!  Were they from you, WayAbvPar?  I'm having trouble matching game characters with forum posters.

[WayAbvPar]

Ya- those were from me. My characters are Grishak, Anyaala, and Khorak. Been unusually busy this week, so I haven't had time to play much. Should get more time over the weekend.

[Train Wreck]

Adonis has a rival.  At least this guy is funny.

[Murgos]

Alright I broke down and bought in, is it worth trying to start up on ER and get an invite to BC or is it a defunct guild yet?

[Train Wreck]

I'm still in.  I haven't had much time this week, but I should be in more often.

The only BC'er I've seen in game is WayAbvPar.  I've chatted to a few via /guild but I don't know who they are in the forums.

BTW, what's the chances of having a Bat Country event this weekend?  I'm tempted to go pub hopping with a merry gang of ER'ers tonight, but as I'm going to be bar hopping irl, I won't be able to make it.

[Murgos]

Murgos, Orkie Rogue on ER.  Anyone with invite powers, hook me up.

[WayAbvPar]

Murgos, I will get you an invite next time I see you on. Splurg/Splurgo mentioned that you were looking for an invite, but he doesn't have the power to do so.

Schild- any more thought about re-upping your subscription for a day to hand over the GM title? We actually have a few members playing now...would be nice to get tabards and such.

My offer to buy a month's subscription for you still stands. PM me if you like.

Someone should really make a post that when a guild leader decides to drop his sub, the title of guild leader should fall down the chain to the next highest person (etc etc) until the people resub. This is an unfair mechanic to all of you (and pretty daft of me to leave without thinking about it, apologies, AGAIN  ).

[Murgos]

Thanks Way, Stumpgrinder got me in last night.  I think he was shocked to learn he had invite powers...

I'm playing a rogue because I really like the play style and thats what I played for 95% (reached lvl 19) of beta but I am going to be trying several alts over the next few days to sort kick the tires and see how fast they accelerate when I am trying to merge onto the highway.  I tried priest and mage yesterday but I don't think either of them have the mix of luxury and performance I am looking for.

[Rasix]

Priest and mage blossom a little bit later than the rogue who is whoopass throughout.    Priest takes about 20 levels to mature, mages a bit less.

Of course, if you're looking for the right blend of melee/magic (moreso earlier on); I'd suggest trying a shaman.

This is the first game in a while where I actually want to play multiple toons b/c I like them each.  My 9 year old keeps making new guys and playing them up to lvl 10-12 where in I take them for a spin to see what if I like them enough to play em; that where my warlock came from; mage, warlock, druid and shaman are all in the queue...

That being said, I still like the rogue a lot.  Just recently solo'ed my poison quest, raised cooking to get my thistle tea, and got some better daggers.  Since I'm trying not to hit external websites, there's still some easy stuff I hadn't tracked down yet (like where do I get flash powder for Vanish? And what level can i pick up swords or maces as a weapon skilsl?), but he still is, good for soloing or grouping thus far.

BTW, I can get detect traps as a skill; is this actually useful?

[Murgos]

...And what level can i pick up swords or maces as a weapon skilsl?

10 for swords, that I am sure of.  You need to find the swords trainer in a big city, the guards will point you to him.

[Shockeye]

I logged in Zurgzurg the other day and promoted everyone I could so everyone should be able to invite.

[Signe]

Are they promoted far enough for talbards?
