Kudos Imperial - City of Heroes Forums

Grae Knight · 12-14-2006, 02:27 PM

I teamed with Imperial for the first time in the 2 years I have played this game and went into it skeptical. Let me explain. Alot of people on these boards talk up their concept builds and alot of people say if it ain't a Guru team its crap! Something I could not disagree with more.

I have not had the greatest luck on most of my primarily Guru teams in the past. Most of them end in multiple team wipes and name calling. I walk away with nothing really to show for it but debt. There are alot of good players here but there is also a good many who do not take the time to research a power or build. I will not apologize for being a min/maxer.

After reading alot of Imperial's RP and seeing that he is a mace tanker, I always figured "well, there is a good reason you are not 50 yet". I am happy to report I am dead wrong. I was thorughly impressed with Imperial's skill with his character and how effective he was in a team. Sure, we wiped a couple times but he was tanking +6s! Kudos Imperial you have definitely changed my opinion of some (still not all) concept builds and Inv/Mace tankers in general.

And the reason why he's not 50 yet is because he's busy scamming on the cast of the Golden Girls long after Bingo night.

Concept Builds FTW

Thanks for the kind words, Grae. I'll be the first to admit that for most of my game experience since beta I've been just that: an RPer with a concept build. It's only been a very recent development that I actually learn to be an effective tank.

I've still got a ways to go, but your compliment shows I'm starting to do something right. Thanks.

Well, in the words of that beloved philosopher of urban culture & postmodern thought, Akon:

I've teamed with Imp on a couple ocasions. I always stop what I'm doing to read his binds. Everything he does in game revolves around the development of his character. lol it's great. I find myself taking notes that I can use for both JP and Safe-Guard. It's a wonder why he hasn't been featured in the comic. Oh yeah...cause the comic BLOWS! *misses Blue King*

In my two years I've only teamed with a select few of you Gurus. Hell Poison had to make me a key so I would know who everyone is in the Guru Poster.

Recently though that's started to change.

PUG more often than not can have their moments. But there are times when you find one that is gold. I've made a couple friends threw PUG. All in all....they're not that bad.

Last time I teamed with Imp. Mmmm, probably well over a year. Icon teaming was the best, at least back when we were on the Icons.

I think Sandy teamed with Impy for a while when he was doing his cape mission. We hunted some Rikti monkeys.

I think it's kind of nice that there are still some folks around that have been around as long as I have, and haven't totally outstripped me in level.

It's definately not lack of ability, some people just like hanging around at the lower levels.

I'll cheer for Impy when he gets to 50 tho.
