If the drive is less than a month old, pull it and have the manufacturer replace it. Anytime Windows starts complaining about a drive I replace it immediately.
Drives are cheap, data is irreplaceable. -
How in the world do you find time to make all these lists with all those spreadsheets you have to manage?

Quote:Smith. Woodrow Wilson Smith, later Long after he took the name Lazarus.In other words, they'll be able to sell you a pill every day, but won't actually "cure" old-age! After all, much more profit-effective to not actually "cure" it, but rather to keep it at bay...
I'm not worried about a population overage. As a being's life span approaches immortal, their reproduction rate approaches zero.
But I wonder if Woodrow Wilson Howard is somehow involved in this... -
Quote:Give how empty the PvP zones generally are, I don't think there would be enough interest to justify a whole server.I was just thinking that since they are adding a new server for VIPs, why not create an New Open World PvP Server. I would think it would be fun to PvP in every zone, but if you want you will still be able to do missions and level up on the Open World PvP Server: however you will be an open target when not in a mission and you will have to watch your back. Every zone you enter you will be automatically lowered to the lever of each zone. For example if you enter Steel Canyon (Hero City Zone level 10-19) you will be Ex or Mal down to level 19 to match the zone. I think Atlas, Galaxy City, Mercy Island, Nova Praetoria, Rikti War Zone, Ouroboros, Cimerora, and Pocket D should be neutral zone and all other zones should be Open World PvP. Is this idea good or bad?
P.S. I do not know if this was ever suggested before, but I bet it has. -
Quote:Weird. I was about that age when I first wrote the character that would become Zephyr, and I never even thought about a theme song for him. I guess I can't call myself a role-player after allThis is Xanatos' theme song:

I'm not even joking. I remember his origin story I wrote way back when I was 15. Xanatos was kidnapped by a villain and a group of heroes came to rescue him while this song played. ("In the distance...song lyrics could be heard...") I actually interspersed the lyrics with the prose. At the time I thought it was seriously epic, looking back now it was so unintentionally tragic.
Of course I never explained where the music was coming from. -
Disagree. I pursued my wife (politely, not like Desperate Guy) for the better part of a year before she relented and we started dating. She maintains to this day that if I had not been so persistent, we would never have gotten together.

Quote:Because I have never found a single-player game that captures the essence of being in a comic book as well as this game. If someone knows of one, please point me to it. In the meantime, I will continue to solo my way through this one.I can't help but wonder why people play an MMO if they insist on soloing the majority of the time. There are thousands of better single-player experiences out there, which don't have a monthly fee attached.
Do all you adamant soloers just play fighting games for the arcade mode, too? -

How does the XP for this one count? Is is physical or...the other one (psychic?)?

Quote:Oh, snap!Well, can't say I didn't try. I'd recommend asking the devs directly, because only an answer from them will satisfy you, if that. While you're at it, mention your theory on what their business model entails, in spite of everything they've said about it. I think it would place your request into its proper context for them.

They might have dropped the ball a little with Thor (I'm sorry, but the best part of that movie was the assistant that kept referring to his hammer as "MeowMeow"), but it's looking like they have redeemed themselves with this one.
Want now! -
Quote:I got it. Sadly, I got it.* Respect. Life. Love. And all those words you sob into your pillow at night when you can't drown the loneliness out anymore all while sinking inevitably into a pit of despair no matter how hard you scrabble and scrape your fingernails bloody against the pit walls your uncaring and distant parents dug for you during the entirety of your so-called "childhood."
* An explanation of that last joke.
Nice list, SC. -
Quote:Isn't that going to cause a problem if you start a new character?1) Arrange your characters on each server in the exact order you want them. Make sure to move each character at least once.
2) Go into your CoH folder, find the subfolder with your account name on it.
3) Find playerslot.txt. (This may be tricky, what with the folder having one file for every player you've ever exchanged /tells with.)
4) Right-click, "proprieties", check "Read Only", "Apply".
Tadah! Your characters will never move around again. -

/unsigned, I agree this is unnecessary.
However, in a similar vein I would like it if they would allow buyback from vendors. I recently scored a LoTG +REC from rolling an H-merit and promptly but accidentally sold it to a vendor.
My own fault, I know, but buyback sure would have been nice. -
Quote:Just starting out on the trials, you are going to die. A lot. It is frustrating, it's frustrated me on every single on of my 50s as I start them out. It DOES get better.I've posted this before and I guess I need to again.
LAMDA is pointless to do if you're a squishy, in particular one which has just got to 50. I just died about 20+ times, if I survive not being one shot then I can burn all of my inspirations only to be chased down an slaughtered.
There is no skill in being one shot, there is no fun in spending 90% of the time in the hospital. I die casting once, I die not even casting, I die running, I die standing and fighting. There is no safe place to get like in a pack of other players since the AoE on them kills me.
And don't bother telling me it will get easier once I've level shifted because I doubt I will EVER play it once I have the absolute minimum from there.
You need to give the players some type of tools to figure out what's wrong with the character, like some way to know I need more X defense or more Y resistance and how to obtain such. Just letting them die like tissue paper .... well it just makes me want to close my account and find a game that some kind of skill is still involved.
For Lambda, pack a full tray of purples (buy them from Leventera before each run). Pop 3 at a time when getting grenades/acids, stay with at least 3-4 others (preferable Incarnates) and try to minimize the amount of aggro you pull.
That said, you will still die. A lot. If that's too frustrating for you, don't do the trials and go back to the regular game. -

I love this, so when can we start making enough to smash together with matter and use the energy to power things instead of using gas and coal... Screw green energy I want matter\antimatter energy...
