Xtopher

Maybe, like you said, some way of only giving those who have Elite Stalkers the Sword. I don't see how that would be unfair seeing how they did in fact do the quests. Why make them have to do it twice when now someone could do it once and get everything? It wouldn't hurt the economy. It would stimulate trade a bit because those who have Elite Stalkers would gain an item to sell in the market (or keep if they wish).

How exactly are you suggesting that it work? Like: X amount of time after Guild Leader's last log-in or X amount of time since the last guild member log in. I could see the issue of it just being reserved by someone and if that's the case nulling guilds will not help ya. I have a few novices just to reserve names for future characters/prevent clones or fakes of my username.

Sounds good to me. Agreed. When new Elite weapons are implemented does one usually have to re-do the quest to obtain the new weapon or is there another system?

I think that if it was changed it should be .1-.5%... definitely no higher than 1%. It's meant to be challenging to get, but I feel that people who devote the time should be rewarded eventually. At .01% someone could devote so much time and never be rewarded for it.

Welcome back to the server!

I think it's impossible to distinguish between those who got it at 10% (if anyone did) and those that didn't... there's really nothing you can do about it at this point. I wouldn't agree with taking them out anyway seeing how it would cause a serious QQ fit and people may leave.... Sometimes life is unfair....

.1% is at least more encouraging than .01% And it's not like only new people are benefiting here. Not all old players have Thanatos cards. Theres a difference between being lazy and just realizing the mathematical probability here.... Is a .01% chance of a card really worth the time it takes? Of course it is a personal utility function but I'm just saying it's not very encouraging... especially because the card isn't as powerful as it used to be.

Welcome back man. It makes me happy when I see people I remember from when I first joined the server.

Welcome to the server. If you need help with character development (Builds/Item Info) on this server feel free to pm me ingame. My ingame character names are some variation of Xtopher and I'm usually in for_fild01.

When you finish your current projects and begin taking paid work I would like to buy an avatar/signature from you.... I'll be thinking of details.

20 pullups/chinups without touching the ground at all and with no aids is a perfect 100 on the US Marine upper body test I believe. Logically the heavier you are the harder it will be to do IF you don't develop the skill a long with all your other weight/muscle... If you get big then decide to try them it will be rough... but there are 50+ year olds that weigh 230+ that can crank out pullups.....

I agree 10% is too high, but I also agree .01% is too low. I don't believe the card is overpowered anymore.

OH GOD, please nooooooooooooooooo. Hottopic would make millions off of those little headbands.

Not trying to call you out but the above isn't really accurate. You could kill Thanatos 10,000 times at 1% drop rate and still never get a card... It would be a 1% chance each time. Your previous attempts do not effect the 1% chance each drop. You could be lucky and get it the second time, or unlucky and not get it 10,000 times in a row seeing how there would be a 99% chance you wouldn't get it each time. Now if its .01% then you are 99.99% likely not to get the card.... not very encouraging for our players lol

I like the kid that played Ang and the kid that played Zuko... my favorite actor was by far the Uncle though... the rest were pretty crap I agree... especially the little girl... The graphics that went into the bending could have been better, especially after seeing things like Avatar... The jumps in the storyline were kinda needed... it's a long story and they're probably shooting for 3 movies total... (they still weren't done too well though, I agree). One thing that I really did admire is the choreography... and they stayed relatively true to the cartoon. All in all they leave a lot of room for improvement in the next movie... 1. Upgrade your graphics/visuals. 2. Get that little girl some acting lessons

Was it actually a "glitch" or did the administration just realize the rate was too high and downgraded it? I don't agree with wiping anything. That is a sure fire way to get people to leave a private server. I do agree that it is unfair that older players/friends of older players had an advantage in this area... 10% to .01% is a pretty big nerf... I also don't feel pvp would be "ruined". Everyone has skolls.... It would just subtract from some of the elitist mentality we have here if more people had the card. I can't agree with 10% again.... and I can't disagree with it being unfair.... kinda stuck.

Yeah... I see the occasional big guy do some pull-ups and I tend to make them look bad... Btw chaining the weight to your neck is a bit dangerous... Use a weight belt and chain them to your back/hips... But they make me look bad when they bench like 3 of me... so I guess it's all fair. If you lose balance work on your grip. Make sure your hands/grips are symmetrical and practice the form with lower weight a bit. Wobbling can lead to hurting yourself or making yourself look like a fool lolz. The gym I use has mirrors in front of you so it's easier for me to work on form and symmetry.

I think P90X and Insanity both depend on how much muscle mass you have to begin with. I've seen guys that were really skinny do P90X for 90 days and are still skinny, just more toned... Insanity looks fun too but most people say try P90X first. Hurting yourself and putting yourself out of exercising/working out is really not worth it. The only thing I push myself to near failure on is chest (Bench/Incline/Decline) and I only do this with a spotter. One arm pull-ups are a great accomplishment. I'm working really hard for them. All those guys the the gym pressing 250-350 looking like bad asses and most of them can't do a set of 8 pull-ups if any at all. I just want to be able to walk in and beast a couple sets of one arms to make ppl gawk haha. One arm pull-downs is a good way to get there... You'll need to be able to do about 110-120% your bodyweight with one arm pull downs to do real one arm free hanging pull-ups (My estimation). You'll feel like a champ when you walk over to the pull-down machine and beast the weight someone was doing with two arms... trust me it feels good lol.

I wouldn't say it "sucked ass". I've seen way worse.... It did disappoint in some aspects... I was waiting for some epic-ness that was never delivered. Better than any other anime-to-live action I've seen....

I'm very good at form/breathing. For as long as I've been working out I've never hurt myself. Pushing yourself to risking injury just isn't worth it, I also never "max out". Motivation and determination have always been strong attributes of mine. If I want something I will work damn hard to get it. And as for diet... I've never been a big fan of sweets (never had a birthday cake). My diet consists of mostly fish/turkey/chicken and vegetables... Along with my multivitamins and protein shakes. The guy I work out with is one of my best friends and hes getting serious into the body building thing. Hes going to be a dentist and do personal training on the side. It's definitely not for me though... 1: I don't want that kind of muscle 2: My frame doesn't really allow for that... I would look seriously ugly and 3: I would have to COMPLETELY rebuild my wardrobe (which would really suck)... I respect people who put that much devotion into it though... I'm more of a gymnast's build than a body builder.... I know I don't need a video. From my workouts that I've researched alone I've build and toned a lot of muscle as well as kept a very small body fat percentage... I'm just interested in seeing/trying new things and from what I hear the P90X thing is challenging.

It was ok... entertaining but not really "good". 3D was cool.

I'm not a bodybuilder at all... and I'm kind of torn on my opinion of them as well: 1. It takes a great deal of time/energy/hardwork to get like they are. 2. Their bodies are really ugly to me... and their real life functionality isn't impressive. Anyway... @Sorrow: Have you ever heard of p90x? It only requires a couple dumbbells and a pullup bar + a tv/dvd player to watch the workouts on... I'm kind of thinking about trying in a month and a half... It seems pretty legit. Anyone have any opinions?
