View Full Version : Mature, relaxed co-op runs starting in 5...
SuperJay
09-17-2008, 01:03 PM
I'm looking for more players to do some online co-op with. My only 50 is a berserker, but I have a 32 champ as well. I may also be interested in leveling other characters if that's your fancy.
I live in the EST and I'm generally active from 6-9pm or so, sometimes later if I have the night free. I'm not fixed on a specific type of run, I typically do 3-4 runs and Helheim clears if I'm motivated to look for loot. I'm also very fair and generous when it comes to drops. (I gave an epic Bio set piece to a defender I was running with last night so he could hand it off to his friend; this is all just pixels and I really don't need to hoard them.)
Basically I'm just looking for fun runs with laid-back, cool people. I'm not an uber power player, but I know what I'm doing for the most part. If you're interested in doing some runs free of e-peen or spaz behavior, look me up, I'd love to do some co-op with other members here. :)

Sounds good to me, I'll shoot you a FR on Xbox.com right now.
SuperJay
09-17-2008, 02:42 PM
Cool, looking forward to meeting you guys online.
I should also add that I have experience running with Bios, Defenders, and Champs primarily, but am willing to try anything once. (Twice if I like it.) I'm open to feedback and suggestions, especially pertaining to optimizing my playstyle to suit yours. I like being as effective as possible in a duo - I'm not just going to run off on my own without any coordination b/w the two.
Also, microphones are great if you can use them, but it's not a deal-breaker if you can't. Just be aware that I'm an adult, and my language and humor reflect that. ;)

Hmm... Playing to the strengths of the other player will be a new thing, I'll admit. The only other person I've played with (my brother) didn't feel like re-speccing to help out.
It'll be cheap for me to respec, so we can talk about that in-game if needed.
Oh, and I never play any online game without my trusty mic. :)

Yeah, doing a respec is up for discussion, but I would probably stick with the right tree as I wouldn't want to waste someone else's time reallocating points until I've had a chance to try out other builds. I wouldn't expect anyone else to respec, either, unless they were interested in doing so.
I really meant just working together to make sure we're effective and not stepping on each others' toes. Things like "hey can you take the trolls, I have a hard time with them," "I'll grab the spiders if you take the trash," or "I need to stay at range so can you help keep the dark elves off me?" etc. I haven't played every other class at 50, I'm not as familiar with their various skill builds and am always interested in learning how to better accomodate other people's playstyles.
TLDR version: I'm not a egomaniacal douchebag that thinks I'm god's gift to TH co-op, and believe that playing as a team is more fun than playing as two individuals who happen to be stuck in the same level. :)

Aah, now I get you, and I'm looking forward to playing with you even more now. I think I'd like to run dual Zerkers... I'm right tree also, and wondering if the Battle Cries stack :o. I guess we'll see :D
SuperJay
09-17-2008, 03:25 PM
I can't imagine the Battle Cry would stack, can you say "overpowered?" O_O

All of the skill trees work well together, it's just a matter of figuring out how.
I myself am a left path human champion, I would never change my tree, and I don't expect others to do something I wouldn't do myself. If you want to do it, that's cool with me, but I'm not going to demand you do it.
Ezcal
09-17-2008, 04:43 PM
Well then I'll have to respec to the left tree... Both speed and damage Battle Cries... *drools*
Can't wait! :D

Left path is only aerial damage, right path is crit.

Cool man, sounds good. I'm just looking for others of a similar mindset - just chill ppl to play the game with. I'm not the best berserker you'll ever play with, but I probably won't get you killed more than one or two dozen times. ;)
Anyway, I may not be on tonight (cute redheads win over TH) but hopefully I'll get some game time tomorrow.

Got all the FRs and added everyone who sent one, and I think I responded to the XBL messages as well. Sorry I couldn't play with more of you guys these past few nights, but I might get some time on Saturday or Sunday night if people are around.
So far all the TH members I've run with (all what, three?) have been good fun to play with. Niveus (aka Dr Beckstead on XBL) and I did some great 3-4 runs last night with my Cyberzerker and his Bio. Smooth like buttah, can I just say I love a well-played Bioengineer? (Btw, many thanks for the Necro charm!!)
Doombringer88 and SpartanC17, you're more than welcome to send me a FR or an XBL msg if you'd like. I'm happy to play with co-op novices since I'm not exactly a hardened veteran myself. ;)

Hey, i wouldnt mind messing aboot fer a bit on too human, no idea what EST time is (sorry if i am a tad niave, ill try to find out though)as i am running on GMT +00 (Brit reporting in :) ) However, i gots a level 33 human def, who would like to meet your champion, i must warn you though, i am Not very good at CO-Op (i always try and play my right side human defender as a Beserker for some reason) But i wouldnt mind some casual gameplay, seeing as my only other expeirience of Co Op was a level 50 BioE who threw me out when i joined his game (Nice eh?) Well, looking forwards to seeing you IG.

Sure Wakyzacy, go ahead and send me a friends request if you haven't already. (Eastern time is -5 hrs GMT, by the way.)
For those who sent me game invites or chat requests over the weekend, apologies for ignoring you - I had my brother and sister-in-law staying with me until late last night, so I was either in the middle of a game with them, or they were playing w/o me, so I didn't see your messages.
Still interested in doing co-op with everyone, though - I hope to do some runs from maybe 7-9ish tonight (Eastern), so if anyone wants to hook up, shoot me an invite or a message.
Peace!

I believe you sent me a FR already Jules, didn't you? If not, feel free to. I won't be tonight (Sigur Ros concert, woot!) and the rest of this week / weekend is going to be pretty busy. I'd be glad to do some quick clears (belt runs, HoH, etc) though.
Ezcal and I teamed up for a couple quick HoH runs last night, and they quickly dispelled any qualms about duoing with another right-spec cyberserker. If anything, the only problem was a lack of enough enemies to keep us occupied.
"You got the troll?"
"Yeah, he's down."
"Okay, missiles down too."
"Let's finish the rest of... oh. They're all dead. Nevermind."

Yeah you zerks are too fast on the kills. Nothing but carnage and annihilation. Makes me want to rank my zerk up and get him all his epic stuff too.
Btw, if anyone needs some Epic Charms, don't hesitate to ask. I've got way too many to finish myself. I seem to get one every other HoH run. I think I have 10 total now.
Oh Jay, I figured out an even better way to get the "12000 kills in air" quest done. middle tree Champion. Battle cry knocks all enemies into the air when hit with a melee. It looked like it was raining goblins, haha. Trade off is now my pistols are almost pointless.
If anyone else here want's to party up, let me know then. If it looks like I'm not on, send a message anyway. Probably a good chance that I am just appearing offline.

We had some good laughs regarding that, that's for sure. I remember one room where we had something like 6 or 7 unused health orbs littering the ground. Who says us Zerkers are easy to kill :cool:
Next time we play I'm definitely respeccing to the middle tree so we can both hit the battlecries simultaneously. Maybe we should do Hel to make it worthwhile. HoH can't spawn the baddies fast enough. :P

A great man once said "the best defense is a good offense." LOL! Seriously, it's that margin for error we were talking about... as long as we're both on our games, it's mass destruction. Miss one crucial step, and it's Hello Valkyrie time.
Personally, my motto as a cyberserker is "Do unto other before they do unto you." ;)

Yea I already did. Just missed Ezcal too, thought I would've been on later but I ended up spending the rest of my night talking on the phone while kicking my monitor for giving out on me.
Maybe you guys could help, I've had the monitor for about five years, heavy usage so I think it's just burnt out. Anyway, last night it just shut off and said check signal. I ran it through the original video card and it worked so I put the upgrade back in after cleaning it. It loads up, works for five minutes, then pulls the same routine. I go back to the original and now it wont even pick up the signal. It is the monitor right?
Magnum
09-24-2008, 12:07 PM
Could be the cables, but if you've had it 5 yrs then it's more likly just the monitor itself. Just hope it's nothing more serious like your graphics card or motherboard.
If it's not a flat screen monitor then those tend to give out after that many years. Time for an upgrade.
I don't know enough about that stuff to tell you for sure though. Good luck.
SuperJay
09-24-2008, 04:47 PM
Sorry Mag, I can't really help with the monitor situation but it does sound like it may be on its last legs. The good news is, you'll find out soon enough. ;)
BTW, got a few new FRs last night so I added them after I got back from the concert. I might actually have some time to play TH tonight, so hit me up if you see me online, and let's make with the carnage.
jules9
09-26-2008, 12:56 AM
I talked with my cousin who agreed that it was the monitor. After guiding me through taking it apart and searching for the fan (he thought it might be overheating) he was surprised when I told him there was no fan. Apparently the thermometer in the monitor that enables auto shutoff has finally quit on me, though there's nothing wrong with the monitor itself. Thanks for your help guys.
On the Too Human side, lots of work so I doubt I'll be able to get on until the weekend, see you guys in a few days.

PS: FWIW, if you send me a chat request or an invite and I don't respond right away, my apologies - don't take it personally. I'm probably either away from my TV or in a co-op game already. I don't like to make my partners stop and wait any more than necessary, so I typically leave any messages until after the run is done or we stop for a break.

I'll probably be on TH a lot this week too. Of course, no one will be on today. XBL is down till tomorrow for updates for the big update. Not looking forward to the new dashboard. Burning games to hard drive: yes, but new dashboard: no.
Anyway, if anyone is a Lvl-50 Cyb-BioEngineer. I got a drop off GRNDL for the epic greaves last night if you want them. Perhaps I'll start getting epic drops for all the other classes since my own is already completed, so if you need help completing your sets hit me up as I seem to have some good luck with getting a lot of drops off GRNDL.

Also, this is a bit off-topic, but I need ONE more white (level 1) charm to finish my epic (level 3) charm. It's the one with a symbol that looks like half an up-arrow, like this:

So if anyone can part with one, I can trade or buy or whatever. Completed would be awesome (since it seems these are almost always "kill X enemies with ballistics," which sucks for a berserker) but I'll take anything I can get atm. :)

Will send a FR in a bit.
SuperJay
10-01-2008, 02:42 PM
I'll admit, it's definitely challenging to pair with a commando. There's no "sharing" since both classes can one-shot most enemies and it's all about who gets there first - which is almost always the commando, since they have that whole "range" thing. :)
That said, maybe it just means you pull waaaaay more rooms at once! With that much killing power, we just need more fodder... amirite?
TwistedEdge
10-01-2008, 02:46 PM
yup co-op is too easy since almost everyone can solo co-op. That 1 part in Hel towards the beginning is somewhat tough solo for a zerker though (you know the big open room with rockets and undead coming from all angles).
I do need the unstopable achievement through, sadly in IF, which isnt really zerker or commando friendly lol.
I remember co-op'n with a zerker and he would slide into a group of mobs and by the time he got there they were all dead. He got quite upset after about the 10th time of that happening lol

Ugh, Ice Forest is the last Unstoppable I need. I actually got my Helheim Unstoppable with a Commando who was super geared... I basically just played the role of bodyguard half the time. :P

So I soloed Helheim last night, since none of you noobs were around for an invite. Do you have any idea how painful it is to fight GARM by myself? What about MY NEEDS?? /sob
Anyway, I'm 700 undead away from my epic gravity charm... Helheim, tonight, 7pm EST. See ya in-game. :)

I was on till 10:30 by myself after you left...
I did find a neat way to quickly get more air kills for my grav charm. Start at 1-2 on HoH and just do that bridge section. If done right, it would be a good place to get any number of quests completed where you need easy kills. I got about a 150 kills per play off it. It only takes about 5 mins if that each time. Got from 4500 air kills to 6000 in two hours or so.
I also need the IF Unstoppable. I only died once half way through before, but it was a bogus death. Mount killed a troll, it died, I walked through it's disappearing dead body and died for some reason.
Anyway, looks like I won't be able to make it tonight. :( GF is coming over and probably won't want me to play. Why couldn't I find one that likes to play too?
Oh well, I want to see that charm in action when we next play. It will be a while till I can get mine finished.

Oh, I did get that one Lv1 charm from Magnum already (thanks dude!), so I'm all set there. Sorry to have you hold onto it for no reason, but I really appreciate it all the same. If you're on tonight, let's put a hurtin on some zombies, eh?
EDIT: Mag, right after I logged off our game to play with my RL friend, I found he'd logged... and I went to hit you back up for another run but you were already in co-op with someone else.
Alright fine, I'll admit it... I'm just playing hard to get. Tee-hee!

If you see me in co-op, I'm probably by myself. I switch it to a private slot so I don't get random people in there.:rolleyes:
You get twice as many enemies when you play a co-op game with just one person. :D

I will help anyone get their Unstoppables. But you guys will have to excuse me sometimes, for those who need help or just want to play, as I tend to play with my Dad in Co-op games. It's kinda fun playing with your old man who's on the East Coast while I'm stuck in the middle of the country.

I'll say it again. Hello Mr. Pot, Mr. Kettle is calling :). No worries on the Charm. Its one of the ones I just keep in inventory and you were welcome to it as I try to work on one charm at a time and I'm currently working the Grav one.

Holy quadruple post batman.
Well, it's the bridge with the maze type walls on it. It has two item pillars on it. You get the first wave as soon as you walk onto the bridge. The second and third wave are smaller and are in the middle path of the maze. The fourth wave is the far right path. Finally, the fifth wave is on the other side of the maze right in front of the door to the next area.
150 is a rough estimate. I didn't count exactly, and as far as air kills it changed from time to time when I got hit more often or I didn't get my Battle Cry activated soon enough.
It's by no means fast or anything, but you have very little down time between fights. I switch to Aesir as soon as I know all the enemies are dead and immediately start up another run.

Speaking of which Jay, I have some Aesir armor I can't use. It has the 2-Handed damage on it. Annihilation I believe it's called. Perfect for a berserker.

Isn't dual-wielding the same as 2-handed? Hmm...thought that would work.

James, I'd actually gotten the Unstoppable for Helheim just recently, but made that comment that I'd have gotten it last night if I didn't already have it, since you did an incredible job keeping my squishy butt alive. ;) LOVE running with a well-played Bio!
Magnum - nah, 2-handed weapons are the large single swords, staves, or hammers that take two hands to use. Dual-wielding is using two weapons (swords or staves) simultaneously, one in each hand. (Berserkers are the only cl*** that can dual-wield.)
But yeah, I'll look through my blueprints tonight and see what I have for Altruist's gear. I know I can get you a chestpiece and I think one other, but I'll have to check to be sure.
Damn, last night was a good night for TH... got an epic 2H Bio staff on a solo 3-4 run, found Aesir Vambraces of the Killing Word at the armor shop, and completed my epic gravity charm with RecGamer's expert help. Good times :D

Alright, my account has finally been activated so now I can post. My GT is X IrishTerror X and I have a Lvl 50 Human Defender on the right path. I'm mostly looking for any Epic armor(for my achievement) and Aesir armor for my guy. Anyone that would like to help me do some runs I'll be up for it. Also, if anyone is up for some Spider farming I'm game.
Oh yea, even though I have a 50 I'd still consider myself a noob at the game seeing how I don't really know what armor is what. So if anyone could give me some insight on what Aesir armor I should be looking for I'd be well apprechiated. Also, help with what Charms or Runes I should look into is as good too. During the weekdays I don't expect to be on too much because of school, but during the weekend I should be on most of the time, but I don't have the ability to stay on to late because some people need to sleep in my house, sounds crazy I know.
So anyone that would like to help out just send me a message with a FR.

Some good news though. On my Cyber Commando, I've found 2/6 armor pieces for my Epic set. So if anyone hasn't found all their Epic pieces yet and would like the achievement for their Cyb-Commando.

It's fun if you like TBS games to begin with, but it's pretty streamlined - perhaps too much so for the die-hards.
I'm an old-school Civ fan - I played Civ 1 back before most of you were born :) - and while I like this edition on the console, it's a pretty stripped down version of all the Civ concepts and gameplay that we've grown to love. Some of the removals are good ideas for console play (like the lack of workers, the happiness system, civil disorder, etc) and help prevent it from bogging down in needless maintenance.
However, some limitations just seem unnecessary - you can't choose map size or customize the world (landmass, age, water, climate, etc) like you can in the PC games, you can't pick the number of civs or the starting age or anything like that. There are a lot of scenarios included that do give you some more customized options for games, but if you're playing the basic single player, you essentially get the same world size with 4 other nations every time. You just pick Single Player, choose a nation, and the game starts, so I really miss some of the customization options for standard games.
That said, there are some cool new additions like Ancient Artifacts (discovery rewards that act sort of like Wonders, but you find them rather than building them) and first-to-research affects for all technologies, and I'd like to see those make it into the next PC iteration.
Anyway, I like it and I'm having fun with it, but I wonder if the depth and replayability will be there in the long run. I haven't tried multiplayer yet and I'm sure that will help, but I don't know if I really want to unless there's decent cooperative options. (Which I doubt, unfortunately.)
IMO, download the demo of the XBLM and check it out, that'll give you a good idea of what the game contains and what it doesn't.

Does it have the same winning conditions and does it allow suspension/saves of games in progress?
How does it handle scrolling and stuff on a console compared to a PC, etc? I'm not sure it'd transfer over well the game mechanics itself but it might.

Yep, most of the same winning conditions are included, but a bit more simplified - you have Cultural, Economic, Technology, and Domination victories, and they're similar to the ones you're already familiar with, just more accessible. A Cultural victory, for instance, means accumulating 20 total Great Persons, Wonders, and/or converted cities... at which point the United Nations wonder becomes available. Build the UN wonder first and you win the game - there's no rep factor with other nations and voting process like the PC versions. Domination is more straightforward, too - you just have to attack and capture the capital city of every other civilization, rather than literally wiping everyone off the map.
Yes, you can save games and all that; the only exception is the online "Game of the Week" feature, b/c it's competitive and saving can facilitate cheating.
Scrolling and the UI in general is a lot better than you might think. For one, the maps aren't huge, so you don't HAVE to manually scroll far. You generally don't have to even manually scroll that much, but when you do, it's done using the right thumbstick. Mostly you pan around the map by selecting different cities using the two shoulder buttons, or by selecting different units using left and right on the D-pad.

YES HERE WE GO PHILLIES!
WE'RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!
First time in 15 years so I think I'm allowed to be a little over excited! :D

Hmmm... Phillies... I think I heard of them, something to do with cheesesteaks IMO? ;)

I heard about that on the radio this morining. Yea, they deserve to go. I'm mostly glad to hear that a team from PA is going to the World Series mostly :D.
Anywho, I have a three day weekend and no work to get done; looks like I have plenty of time to get some TH in this weekend. Anyone in for some co-op?

Unfortunately, I won't be able to play TH tomorrow(Sat) as that day will be devoted to a 24 hour marathon of Halo 3 for a fundraiser me and some friends are participating in.
I made a thread about it here when I first signed up. http://www.toohuman.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5440
There's still time to donate to our team if you wish. ;) *hint hint* :D

Well, I'll be canceling my XBL service here soon. The economic downturn the stockmarket has been reflecting lately has finally reached me. I got my hours cut in almost half today, and I'll need to be making some diplomating choices on my spending habbits for a good while. I know 50 bucks isn't that much compared to what I'll have to make up for the lost hours, but it'll help a little. My service was actually supposed to be renewed at the beginning of Nov.
It was fun while it lasted, and I hope to come back to game with you guys again soon. Until then I'm trying to make sure I at least have internet for a good while to make the new job hunt easier. That should mean you'll at least get to see me around here.
All this and my Birthday is tomorrow. Happy flipping Birthday to me...:(

Damn dude, that blows. Good luck finding a new job, and definitely stay in touch. I'll keep an eye out for you and maybe we'll do some HoH before the switch is flipped.
And hey, happy birthday! Don't let the XBL thing get you down, it's just video games. Get out and have a good time, soldier. That's an order!

Nov 2nd will be my last day on XBL. Yes, I'll be playing with lots of folks online before then. Oh and Jay I got Civ Revolution from GameFly yesterday. I'll have it for a few days here if you want to play some multiplayer on it.
GameFly might be another thing I'll have to cut soon too.

Thanks for the well wishes people. Yesterday was my last day for a while. I had a Halo 3 Clan match and we won so it felt good to go out on a good note. See you all around the forums here. Then on LIVE in a few months hopefully.

Keep it real, Magnum - good fun playing with you, glad to hear your XBL time ended on a high note.
To those who have been asking about TH co-op lately (IrishTerror and DeadKevin, at least) - apologies that I haven't gotten into any games with you guys of late, been immersed in Fable 2 with my g/f - she's actually playing a 360 game for the first time ever, so I'm loathe to put in another game for fear it may break the spell. O_O
Anyway, I'll be around and hopefully be able to dust off my Stormblades soon :)

Sad to hear Magnum. Hopefully things will turn around for everyone after this election.
I know what you mean SuperJay. I don't expect to see myself on Too Human anytime soon unless I need to trade with someone. Fable 2 is just so, addicting. I can't tear myself away from it. Of course playing the same game all the time becomes quite boreing, so I feel sure over the weekend I'll put in some TH time. In this case I'll drop you a FR Gindin. Also, Jay (If I may) feel free to donate to my cause on Fable 2 if you happen to see that magic orb of mine floating around you at anytime.
~ If you feel the need to correct me on my spelling and grammar, please do so. I mean come on, I can't hardly spell k@t yet.

Ahh, much appreciated. I'll make sure to give you something of equal value, perhapes a carrot? Anyways, I can use that as a gift to give to those poor villages before they are sacrificed at the Temple of Shadows. I love being evil in that game. :rolleyes:

Anyone else planning on playing TH again during the Dec TH Days? I'm going to try and break out my cyberserker in the evenings of one or both scheduled days; keep an eye out (either add me or look on the TooHumanMembers list) if you wanna play. I might actually remember how the game works by that point.
Magnum
12-03-2008, 04:02 PM
I'll possibly be on as well this time. Yay!
IrishTerror

I might play a little bit too. I tried to play just this last weekend and it took me about one death to remember how to play again. I kept hitting X to attack for some reason.

Ask PG about my repeated ruiners in empty rooms during the last TH Day.
