What Brought You to Gameamp 

So we have around 30 sites on the Gameamp Network right now. I'm wanting a list of which game brought you here. That way we all know where everyone is coming from!

The game that brought me to Gameamp was City of Heroes. But it didn't take them to long to get me trying new ones!

RE: What Brought You to Gameamp 

Guild Wars. Needed info on elite skills (not that I don't already have leet skillz (that was a joke, it's ok, you can laugh)) and the maps here were second to none. So I thought I'd stick around and here I am.

re 

Julia Heartilly was running me from Beacon's Perch to Droknar's Forge and I was amazing her running skills and she introduced me to her running guide here on GameAmp. I checked the guide and I couldn't miss the rest of the site. Damn her! ><
/jk :P

So the game that brought me here was Guild Wars and the person was Julia Heartilly ^^

RE: What Brought You to Gameamp 

Guild Wars - I was looking for Sword Warrior build back in September, (i had alot of problems creating my own due to lack of skill understanding.etc at the time) and decided to google it up and Guildwars.Gameamp.com ended up being in the top 5 searches so i clicked on the link..... *sigh* , glad i did :-) or i prolly wouldnt be here ^^

Soo..... I wanna thank my Logitech MX 510 Mouse which i used to click the link and i wanna thank my old *checks the label* Q-w-a-r-e.... Qware 1996 Keyboard which i used to type in my Search and brought me to Gameamp

There is life outside of Gameamp? Nah, you are just making stuff up now. There is nothing but emptiness outside of Gameamp!

And please disregard the message from the man in the cage. We do not know what he is talking about, or how he managed to get this posted with out clearance first.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to take care of a small problem.

*pulls out cattle prod* Oh unklean!

RE: What Brought You to Gameamp 

The one that brought me to Gameamp is...um, wait...the one with the heroes? Super something? Whats the name of that game again? Town of Super people, Village of Vigilantes? Borough of Sidekicks? Something like that.

Oh, City of Heroes! Thats it.

RE: What Brought You to Gameamp 

City of Heroes! - Gameamp had the best badges section of any site on the web, and it still does! Not only was the information part of the site amazing, the community was the most friendly I've ever seen anywhere else before. This place was so great, I even ended up joining the Staff on the City of Heroes and City of Villains sites!

I've also used the Guild Wars site, joined the D2A clan who used to have their page here, made it into the Auto Assault Beta testing, and will probably enter Pirates of the Burning Seas...all because of Gameamp!

This is flat out the best community on the entire world wide web!

RE: What Brought You to Gameamp 

Well...Much like the others, I was searching for City of Heroes information. I stalked the forums for a while, and then I decided to sign up. I haven't looked back since. I spend hours every day on GameAmp...I have to have something to keep my attention during work. :P

RE: What Brought You to Gameamp 

While playing City of Heroes gave me a reason to come to the Gameamp site, the community is what has kept me here.


I am serious, they won't let me leave. I am being held against my will. Send someone soon before the reprogramming is complete.



**Edit: Don't pay any attention to what I said earlier. This community is just great. I am not being held against my will. I want to stay. I need to stay. Can I have my breakfast now Mistress TheJeni?

Thanks for the great site and keep up the good work.

RE: What Brought You to Gameamp 

The game that brought me here was City of Heroes. Started before I got the game to read up on the ins and outs of it.

The overall best game site I have ever seen.

RE: What Brought You to Gameamp 

Simple

I credit DocVengence with keeping me (yahoo got me here)

Fast friendly accurate answer - still getting them today.

After a yahoo search result put GameAmp.com at the top of the list here was my first Post and first Reply ever - It totally changed the face of the game for me as you can gather from the subject matter - I had never heard of reputation or this Flux guy.

Hi
I am a level 11 mutation defender, ever since about level 5 or so every mission I get seems WAY over my level. Currently I have the Flux mission for the cave-in scenario, right in the door everyone is a level 22. You site rates this as an easy mission other than the long walk from Flux. Any comments on why it seems so out of reach?

Although the docs dont seem to cover it at all (like most things) I am shown as "unyeilding" no explanation of what that means.... one time an in-game charactor offered to change that for a price but I declined (i think)- is this rating related to my difficulties???? Where is that guy?

I want the game to be difficult and have been making decent progress but when faced with several or all foes in a mission at more than twice your own level it is hard to see finishing that mission when they give it to me.

On a releted note, I have only had 3 contacts since entering Altlas yet your table for missions shows many with missions below my level I was never introduced to or were offered, is this based on archtype? or am I missing something else...

Thanks -Delphon

Re: Enemy Level in Missions

Howdy and an unofficial welcome. In short, yes that is the difficulty setting. Unyielding is quite high. You probably want to be on heroic or maybe 1 up. there is more information here...

http://cityofheroes.gameamp.com/forum/showTopic/10301.php

some of the missions are based on your "Origin"(magic, tech etc). Based on origin you get a different contact. Also based on the missions you do outside the hollows you might get introduced to different contacts. not sure if the contacts in Atlas and Galaxy give different missions.

RE: What Brought You to Gameamp 

Google brought me here to the COH site, and the great information, friendly people and awesome staff kept me here. As a n00b I was welcomed and made to feel at home. I rely on gameamp for up to date information, I occasionally go to the official coh site but that was mainly during COV beta when we couldnt post here. With COV my new addiction I go to... where else gamamp. Ive gone from being the n00b that was treated well to the not so n00b that is still learning here but also helping others. When my fellow SG members ask me a question they often get "well I read on gameamp that..."

I was looking for CoH wallpaper. After lurking for about a week I posted a question about pets. From there I was addicted and haven't moved since.
