Thought it was changed to one clear/week? Or is it still 3 clears/week?
I now see you went on different characters for both runs; did everyone else in the squad do the same?

2 clears a week, I changed char because we changed a ds for another attacker. our main phantom and ds however, couldn't in again because they both cleared koc twice this week. does anyone know which day they reset?

Sorry for double posting, using phone to reply

[MENTION=3070]Marksman Bryan[/MENTION]; I agree with your observation and this is why I'm shocked that MapleSEA was able to down Cygnus so quickly even if they took a lot of wheels. Limgoon was clearly dealing much more damage than Shang and I hear Cygnus' HP was reduced to 63 b very shortly after we were gaping at her 200b HP back then but our extractions show that her HP is definitely 63 billion. What gives!?

On that note, Shang is a disgrace to Phantoms. We win with skill, not with fortunes alone.

[COLOR="#0000FF"]We're too efficient

looking at shang's damage.. average 2mil/rf
63b / 2m = 31500 rapid fire in 22 mins = 1431 rf / min = 23 rf/s
ok this doesn't make sense
oh wait, adding in noire carte... 11.5 rf/s... seems more legit.


comparing limgoon's damage to my party's damage, i believe my party out damages him a lot :f6:
we took down 50% of queen's hp in about a minute... lol [/COLOR]

does anyone know which day they reset?

Unless they changed it for some strange odd reason for Unlimited, it's always been Thursdays at midnight (despite the fact that the expedition warning message says Wednesdays).

Ah okay, haven't tested it for Unlimited because we've just gotten it for a week only. Shall test it on Thursday then.. It's Thursday 12.01am or Friday 12.01am?

It's Thursday 12.01am or Friday 12.01am?

Thursday at 12:01 AM.

Thursday at 12:01 AM.

Ah, okay thanks ! Shall try another queen run on Thursday I suppose

Exactly 12 AM on Thursday server time (as in, as the day is rolling over from Wednesday into Thursday)

Can someone count for me how many times Shang died?

Can someone count for me how many times Shang died?

21 times, but that's nothing much compared to some others though.

Oh, that's not as bad as I thought.

I just watched like the first 10 minutes and thought he was crap for dying like 20 times.

Considering most, if not all, of those deaths were avoidable if you had half a brain... still crap

and yet shang isn't the only one.... There are a lot of people who don't care about dodging.. They have more than enough wheels to spend

does this count as suicide?

also the exp isn't all there because my aran friend wanted to watch me before he left and his body pressure probably knocked some off (about 80k exp i guess)

I can't help but think of the first kill I had since the F/P I went with fancies himself as Pink Bean.

Do you always have to go out of your way to respond to posts with relatively unrelated comments that make everything about you? Serious question.

Sorry to come off as a stickler but dear god you do it EVERYWHERE on this site and it's incredibly annoying. Here's an idea: if it doesn't relate to you, only bother quote replying if you have something congratulatory or directly related to the original poster to say, instead of inserting yourself into something that wasn't really inviting you to do so in the first place.

If none of these options fit the situation, but you still want to acknowledge the post, +1/-1 it. I mean c'mon, dude.

I would think that's the reason why I also +1'ed it since that's something I pretty much do for all my congratulatory posts whether it's the potential thread, the level up thread or the achievement thread. Sometimes I don't know what to say, sometimes I'm just +1'ing because it's impressive and maybe sometimes I just find it funny since I don't respond to every single thing I +1/-1 for.

Just so you know I don't think saying only 'Congratulations!' is very much better, it's literally one word and I wouldn't even have said anything if the post wasn't somewhat ironic what with Pink Bean defeating Pink Bean which was almost the same case as mine. Self-centred? Maybe, but you can't say that I didn't acknowledge the defeat on its own as I was pretty much saying "Yes, that is technical suicide and I thought the same when I helped my friend who fancies himself as Pink Bean do it. Also, we had a good laugh camping for the last few minutes".

After all this is about experience; I simply don't comment if I don't find anything remarkable about it or if I don't relate in some way just like I don't +1 or -1 every little thing even if I have opinions about it since I want it to actually count but you did remind me that I have a PB run to try this week so maybe I can make that all about me.

(Anyhow, in spite of my counter-argument and sarcasm I'll do this less because I don't like being thought of as not contributing much even if it doesn't break any rules. Just give me some time to improve on it. :c)

Another way to think about it: you used "I" pronouns 23 times in this quoted post. Not including other personal pronoun forms "me" or "my."

It really boils down to absolutely relevance. Yes, your posts are usually relevant in that they're responding on the same subject, but - and this is the crux of the issue - they're usually not relevant to even mention. In other words, worthwhile. We're glad you also have a fond memory of a Pink Bean run, but was it worth the minute and bandwidth space in posting? Is it adding to the discussion in any engaging way, or it just a side-thought best reserved for instant chat forms where such comments normally exist?

At the end of the day it's about editing your comments before you make them - as in, making the judgment call as to whether or not the post you're about to make will actually contribute to the conversation, or merely add a tangential quip that will likely be scrolled past by the majority reading the thread. And heck, even editing them before you post them (this goes for everyone), because, for example, in your quoted post you make a lot of common sense/captain obvious comments that aren't even necessary to write, such as:

Sometimes I don't know what to say, sometimes I'm just +1'ing because it's impressive and maybe sometimes I just find it funny since I don't respond to every single thing I +1/-1 for.

That's the point of the system, you don't have to reiterate it.

Duh, common sense, don't have to reiterate it.

and I wouldn't even have said anything if the post wasn't somewhat ironic what with Pink Bean defeating Pink Bean which was almost the same case as mine.

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

I simply don't comment if I don't find anything remarkable about it or if I don't relate in some way just like I don't +1 or -1 every little thing even if I have opinions about it since I want it to actually count

Both reiterating what you said two paragraphs before and explaining the obvious about the system.

And so on.

tl;dr, to EVERYONE: lern2edit

My 1st HT solo, and waited for the drops.
I hate fighting the HT heads because of the massive lag in those two maps.

My best attempt post-hypers. I'm hoping our Unlimited patch slows down that dumb green attack

@FrozNlite
agree with you totally.

pop over to the MSEA forums. you would see him over glorifying himself to satiate his ego and never failing to construct smart aleck and redundant comments.

P.S. he can't take criticisms at all. reinforced by the fact of the long paragraph he typed, trying so hard to justify his comments.
