nope. i'm a little smarter than that. i would sit there and wait for my adrenaline to go up and it does not. then later on another map, it would work. definately must be some bug. this happens about 1 every 7 maps or so.

I noticed that Adrenal Drip doesn't work sometimes. Is that a bug that is being looked at already? I was told it was because of the map that it doesn't work. But the problem with that is, my Adrenal Drip worked on one map while my g/f's Adrenal Drip failed to work while we were playing at the same time.

I noticed that some maps, mainly in the Monster Assault, have 0 for played and sequence. And once we play it, it still stays at 0. Just wondering if that is a bug or not. I know everyone likes to play maps that have been played a lot or if the sequence is in the 50's because it just got freed up.

i only accumulated 71 retaliation kills. needless to say i no longer have that skill.

So what happened? Did you reset your character or just got rid of the skill and received the skill points to redistribute?

The problem people have with Onslaught maps is that some are just too big and when they die, they are waiting for someone to find the last mosquito running around. Some people are more concerned about getting exp within a shorter time frame rather than playing through 12 waves on an Onslaught map for 45 minutes.

My advice... get rid of the smaller monsters, namely the little green flying things and mosquitos and replace them with skaarj or gasbags. That, or start the wave off higher like around 8 or 9 instead of 5. That might bring the time down to the same as an Invasion game.

I like Primeval cuz its small and you don't have to look too long for the critters.

I understand about the forcing download skin thing. I am only trying to figure an alternate way that I myself can identify someone with a certain skin that way I can go out myself and download it. For example:

MrNobody is online and playing. I see Jakob (the default skin). Now I'm interested in knowing what skin he has without asking because he is ignoring me for one reason or another. So, I go to the homepage and look under Player Stats for MrNobody and see that the last logon game he played, he was using the skin called SurgeII.

Now that is just my idea how it would be perfect. I know implimenting it is the tricky part. If it's even possible that is. I don't know enough about the code to figure it out myself.

I don't know if this is possible but if it is, that would be great.

1. Instead of being warned about idling, those of us who have contributed with a reserve slot should be easily identified somehow. Maybe have some identifying symbol in or by our names when you press F1 that would say that we are contributors. Something that identifies a contributor in-game would be great. That might actually make the admins job easier than having to look up the name to see if they are a contributor when all they have to do is press F1. I know the identifying mark will have to be unique because people may try to place it in their name themselves (I know colors in names are possible with the right code keys too). For example, I know the Web Admin is on because it identifies them over the ping. Maybe that is a good spot to show Contributor.

2. I still have a problem with getting skins. Maybe on the homepage within the Player's Stats section, you can add the name of the skin of the character stat. Since all the stats are grabbed and placed in that section, like skills and attributes, and we can look at any player, maybe there is some way of grabbing the stat of the skin name to show its name or something. I have a list of regulars that I don't see their true skin and I don't want to ask them all and I can't wait for them to post their skin themselves. I rather do the work myself and find it myself if there was an automated way of identifying them.

I know these may be near impossible to do, but I thought I'd ask.

So you think he'll sit there and let us level up from killing him?

It's the little things in life that makes things more fun.

I wanna see Timmy from South Park. Along with a voice pack.

Ya. I been going on a lot lately and I been asking people I see what skin they have. But most people say "I don't know what it's called".

Even if the people that don't play regularly give out their skin, there is a chance that the skin may be used by a regular.

I already went through the forum skins and I also notice that even the regulars change their skins a lot. So the skin section is almost pointless unless you stick with the same skin forever.

It's too bad you can't force the skins on the people that want it. Since I have DSL, I wouldn't mind, but I understand about the people with dial-up.

My solution, for myself, is just to place a link to my skin in my signature. At least everyone will have access to it when they read any of my posts.

I'm having a tough time finding everyone's skin. Especially if I have to ask everyone that is playing, which sometimes they don't respond because of one reason or another.

Would it be easier if we had some database somewhere where we can upload our skins under our name so everyone on the forum can download it from one place? Maybe in the player stats section of the homepage.

I notice that not everyone posts their skin in this section. Maybe everyone can write their skin name in their profile or something. Maybe if its possible to force download the skin (I wouldn't mind that on my computer). I just don't like seeing a bunch of Jacob's running around on the map. I'd like to see what everyone really looks like. I may be rambling but I hope there is some solution to this other than waiting for people to put their skin here. I notice it's alot of the higher level players that I don't have their skin.

I think this one is cool too.

I think this map would be cool.

[edit] how do you make the pics smaller???

well.. everyone would be brought back to life for wave 17 and what happens is you can award extra bonus exp based on how many people you killed and the level difference of the players.

but i'm just doing some wishful thinking. i would really like to see special monsters in the game though.
