So many ppl go to China it seems.

I worked there for a month and a half in Xiamen.

I'm just impressed that a Great White Northerner survived multiple summers in GZ. What did you do in GZ, if I may ask?

P.S. - By "experience", I assume you mean "food."

I was alternately a TV host, news anchor, and producer. Worked for GDTV and GZTV at different times.

I don't miss Cantonese food in the slightest, but I sure do miss Hunanese and Sichuanese restaurants (Shandong and Dongbei as well, admittedly). There's actually a few Sichuanese restaurants up here, but it's not quite the same since most of the Chinese here are Cantonese and can't handle mala/huajiao

Hey guys,

Just a message to let you know that I am caught in the servers outage... So my points and rankings in ALL tournaments do not update.

I keep on playing, but I don't know where I am at. It happened before and everything went back to normal after 5-6 hours, but now, it's been nearly 12... Hope they fix the problem before the end of the PVE or I'm completely screwed.

Unknown

Nothing has changed... I emailed them, and tried to call them, but we are outside the Office hours. So it's screwed for God of Lies I'm afraid... But not only apparently.

Cool!

Heh, can't say I'm a fan of mala. Hunanese, though, is awesome -- it hurts so gooood.

It's interesting that you like Dongbei cuisine -- it doesn't get much respect in China, especially compared to Sichuanese. Even many Northerners are like "Sigh, yeah, it's all noodles and cabbage. We know, we know."

Hey Tonzil are you going to pass that Heckle guy or settle in for 2nd?

My X-Force is maxed in Green so I'm not eyeing that extra cover and I don't intend to push to bridge the gap to you pair, but it sounds like my scaling is ~100 levels lower than yours (Florida:Ares ~250) so I guess I might have an easier time in rnd4 ... OTOH you have a functional Spidey, which I do not.

If it gets close and you're chasing the cover I don't mind holding back (provided we're set over in the Alliances).

PS: your Patch needs a few more levels...

Just wanted to hop on over and say Thanks!

Dreylin, you were absolutely correct. I went and gave Patches a 40 level kick from 50 to 90 and he turned out to be basicaly invaluable in the "Oscorp event".

Cheers and keep up the good work boys/girls!

Just so you know, my Spiderman stunlocked all of D3 when they tried to nerf him.

I can't guarantee this will end well. AB I warned you.

This feels like the good ole days! We have to use the forums to communicate. Those were simpler times :')

Except for the while, no game thing. Whatevs I'm bringing memes back. Hope it catches on. If I can't get ISO I damn well better be getting rep. Clintman's built a huge lead on me after I pointed out I was on his tail, but I think he might be shielded

Haha, the alliance thumb does nassin! NASSIN!

Go read the new meme thread and pimp me out there. Also, bring back Clintmon

Will do AB! Love those memes

Btw guys, I just posted on the Spidey nerf, please read it and give a thumbs up if you agree and also comment on that thread to get the Devs to pay attention. I can't take any more Nerfs in this game. We need buffs to bad heroes.


This is my post on the Spidey Nerf:

"Dear Devs,

Like most hardcore players, I was no fan of Spider-Man, the Hero pre-nerf, was annoying and allowed lower skilled opponents to steam roll good defensive teams. However, this nerf stick you devs use is out of control. Spider-man is UNUSABLE in any PVP or PVE event, all he is good for now is prologue healing. I'm a gamer, I've been a gamer for 30 years, I can't believe you don't have the resources to make him playable, without making him either game breaking or completely useless. I'm saying this as someone who hasn't invested a single HP or Iso-8 on Spidey and I only have 3 covers on him (2 purple and 1 blue).

Also, why is it that all we see are NERFS?! Since I started this game, its been one MEGA NERF after the other. First, Ragnarock became useless, then it was Thorverine, harsh but not so destructive as Rags for Thor, but almost nuclear for Wolvie, then a bunch of minor nerfs, Black Panther (no call for it, at all), Falcon (just released), etc... now its Spider-man. He got hit with the most nuclear NERF ever. You've made him useless, except for prologue heal, without question. Compare what he does with any decent 3* Hero with 15 of any color ap, lets say Lazythor Green (actually 14) you can nuke and evaporate an entire team, PUFF all gone. Now with Spider-man, with 15 ap you get 6 turns of stunning ONE enemy? Seriously, that is your idea of usable and/or funbalanced? Just compare him to 3*s which are actually used Punisher, Lazythor, Psylock, LazyCap, Patch, etc... They have 2 or 3 very good skills, Spidey has none, yellow heal is for prologue, compare it to Lazythors 12 yellow ap ability, he nukes hard and gets a green infusion on the board.

I'd like to call for a block on ALL NERFING after this disaster of a Spidey nerf. He'd be more useless than Rag if not for prologue healing. I'd like to see the buffs on 4*s, both Baglady and X-Force Wolvie, 2* buffs and revamps (BAGMAN anyone?) and buffs to other 3*s such as Rags, Loki and Dr. Doom (give them a 3rd ability and make an event of the 3rd cover launch) and a serious overhaul for Daredevil, he deserves to be awesome and playable. PLEASE BUFF DAREDEVIL, completely change his traps so they are more like Nick Fury and not at all how they are currently.

These buffs would activate your player base and keep you devs busy for over a year, with all the playtesting, programming, event planning and all the other hard work that goes into to updating a game.

Ban the NERFS, start the BUFFS!!! Ban the NERFS, start the BUFFS!!!"

Cheers,
NazgulPrime

i can't play, everytime i start MPQ i dont see any events and everywhere i click it says check your internet connection.
So annoying how they are **** everything up.
i wanted to make a good run in this pvp event but i might not be able too

Unknown

That's exactly the problem I had this week-end while I was playing on the PVE.

It was even saying "can't connect to Facebook".

Now I have a new patch to download. Let's hope it won't screw things up.

Aaaaah! My innanet! I have an outage and can't play at the moment (play on wifi) in a bit of sweet irony, my service provider has several WEBSITES where I can check for/ report outages...

BRILLIANT!

grumble grumble...

OTERSEY! SMITE THE INTERNET!

Arogntbastrd: Heh, and you called our bracket un-brutal. My 1089 gets me #4 at the moment.

EDIT: On second thought... that actually is a not-very-brutal bracket. Sigh. I hate the present.

You got a hop to 1100 in you?

Of course. If I wasn't going for that 1100 cover, I wouldn't have hopped to 1089. I only need the alliance LT cover.

If you wanna hit me, wait at least 40 min, por favor. I'm gonna hop in 20 min.
