    The players cannot answer that question, so that question should be down in the suggestion forum. That's what FW was getting at.
  2. My bf was at Comicon several years ago (I'm talking like 7 years ago) with his then-boss (who owned a comic shop), and they were looking at a few posters/covers done by Liefield. They made some derisive comments along the line of the previously mentioned critiques (lack of anatomy knowledge, "where's his feet?", etc) before moving on... when they turned around, Liefield was standing there with an extremely blank look on his face. They waved at him and walked off without an actual confrontation, but that is one of my bf's favorite stories to tell about Comicon.
  3. Congrats Foo, and I said all the other stuff in the other thread, so I'll just say "what I said back there"! Congrats to all!
  4. Go to the Tech Issues forum and take a look at the 'Posting Guidelines' sticky thread. In that thread are "HiJackThis" and "CoH Helper" links. Post those to a new thread in the Tech Issues forum, not here. More techies in the Tech forum than here.

    I would guess that you don't have sufficient RAM, but without specs, it's a shot in the dark.

    ... NVidia 9800 GT is your best bet. For AMD (ATI/Radeon), we don’t have enough of these cards at this price point to get you good data. This would be the minimum card for enabling all the features, only at reduced quality settings.
    Depending what kind of 9800 you have (there are different types, and significantly different specs), you may or may not.
  6. Ouro buys enhancements at 32% of base costs. Midnighter Club, Cimerora, RWZ all buy at 40% of base costs. Origin venders buy their origin at 40%, and other origins at 26%. Training venders buy TOs at 40%, and others at 26%.

    Not really. I have rep disabled. My rep number is extremely positive.

    I have rep disabled because it's worthless and a fairly dumb game.

    1, The other recent superhero game is called Champions Online, by the way (it's not forbidden to say its name, just no direct compare and contrast point-by-point posts).

    2, It hasn't even been released on ANY platform yet! Xbox 360's presumed release date is Dec 31, but that's kind of up in the air. PS3? Cryptic's 'interested' in it, but there's nothing concrete atm that I know of.

    All those d***heads you see people complaining about in CO? Those aren't console gamers clashing with PC gamers. Those are PC gamers being d***heads. There's no "culture clash" excuse there.
  10. I'm going to agree with RobertoLyon, and suggest it's far more likely your video card, which you have not given any stats on. (Not that you've given any stats on your P4 other than that it's a P4, of which there are a *HUGE* range of options.)

    Going overseas

    You should be fine, but if you rely on time cards to play, you'll have trouble finding them there apparently. Go internets! for that one. Or Go credit card! as an alternative.

    Some places in that area apparently have some filtering, but I don't know if the Phillippines is one of them.

    Run speed basically does not matter. You need movement control granted by SJ, CJ, IR, or a temporary jump pack. This increases sliding speed, which is a function of falling speed not running speed.

    Wikia does a ton of underhanded things to keep their wikis listed first. It's basically impossible for a grassroots website (like ParagonWiki is) to get a higher ranking than Wikia because of it. It'd require MASSIVE effort.

    M-B's right. I've tried to do this before, and suffered from severe facepalm when I figured it out (after getting really ticked off). LOL

    You didn't read what I wrote in my first post, did you? I guess you didn't. No, instead you just assumed.

    My table always has a sign, if it's visible (I basically live on /hidesearch because of this issue.) I always make sure that my search comment shows up in search when I set it (I always do a zone search after setting my comment, and if it doesn't set, then I re-attempt until it is visible), because otherwise I cannot complain about people not reading my search comment. My search comment, if I am not hiding, always says, "No team unless I know you." Always.

    Quote:
    Most people do not put 'looking for more members' as a search comment, so the amount of "talk to me" signs are very minimal.
    The people with "talk to me" signs are the bright names on the list (solo), not the people dimmed on the team list (on teams, looking for more or not doesn't matter).

    Quote:
    This is a bad example from the start because in our culture (or mine anyway) we don't ask to sit and talk with random people at McDonalds because the point is to eat, no socialize.
    YOU'RE the one that asked (and I am quoting you here) "Would you really find it rude if I asked if I could sit and chat with you at McDonalds?" So why are you then turning around and saying, in a sense, that you find it rude after you scoff at me, and others, for finding it rude?

    Quote:
    Does it bother you to get tells? Go on hide or put in your search comment that you do not want to team with anyone or that you do not wish to answer such tells.
    I *do*. I have said *in this thread* that I do. YOU are assuming that I *don't*.

    November 27th. They opened the capsule and posted a bunch of images of letters on the forum and a few more text ones on the main site.

    As the OP is talking about a 'black and white dress/tabard', I think he's probably asking about Sister Airlia? That's the only thing I can think of.

    You do if there's a search comment. I hope you read and respect search comments.

    Would you really find it rude if I asked if I could sit and chat with you at McDonalds?
    Yes. There are plenty of empty tables and there are some people sitting alone with signs that say "talk to me". Although I would find it far more rude, not to mention ridiculous, to come to my home as a stranger and ask to crash on my couch. (Sorry, Lemur.)

    The basketball analogy works best, and /hidesearch is the equivalent of playing on your personal basketball court, not one in public.

    Global channels. Friends of friends. It's pretty easy, actually.

    Dresses

    It's not. There are a ton of signature costume pieces that NPCs get to wear and we can't. There are also a ton of costume pieces that no one in the game gets to wear, NPC or PC, in trailers and promo posters/pics.
  24. They regularly have to restart the copy tool. PM Avatea or Niviene on the forums here about it. Don't petition, the GMs can't do anything.
