Yeah, been getting the missing textures happening too. Running Catalyst 11.4 because anything higher and the game hard locks. It's gotta be related to the last patch.

I had 11.6 installed on my 4870 vid card, thought the crashing was because it was an old card and dying, so I bought a new 6870 and still had the same problem, rolled back to 11.3 and it seems stable enough, but now am having troubles with Win7 that I think may be driver related so trying 11.4 hoping it'll solve my woes.

I have a rescue mission setup where the player gains the assistance of a debuffing ally for the duration of the mission, but the npc is only using the two attacks out of its offensive set. Is the a reason why the NPC isnt laying down the debuffs?

You mean Banished Pantheon?

I like the idea of swapping out for existing factions, would seem less cookie cutter than it is now.

Can too have undead robots, just don't buy undercoating or rustproofing when your at the dealership.

Full customisation may be impossiblish, how about a few pre-set variations instead?

With /Dev you can use a higher than normal difficulty setting without impacting survivability too harshly. With my Eng/Dev i set a trip field of 7 or 8 mines, enough to flatten most bosses, and with Elite Bosses I usually increase it to around 14 to 16, 1.5 power rotation later and he is dead before he can recover from all the KB.

People who powerlevel are usually the ones who buy their ingame money from spammers.

The first time you cheat makes the next time just that much easier

Using a ATI 4870 vid card (maxed out graphics where i could), when i turn on water effects , it mirrors the world into the sky.

It's annoying, was fighting +1 EB Mynx, she popped her SR top power (forget it's name) then promptly ran away leaving the 3 longbow minions and Lt to deal with me.

Thought to myself, that's a really good example for a hero to set.

Actually had an idea when i read that bit about the Oni being damage/control...
Suppose the arsonist were something of a minor fire controller, a few immobs and an acc debuff, or atleast swap out his flamethrower attack for one the doesnt require him to get in close combat eange.

P.S how good is the tier 3 robot? highest i have ever gotten a robot MM to is tier 2 pets before i got bored and deleted it.

If you shut down their ability to email spam, then whos to say they wont go back to global channels and random whispering to annoy people?

Originally the Bruiser was meant to have a king sized machine gun, but I guess they decided he were better off as a meat shield instead. The tier 3 pets arn't very good at it, if that is their primary function.

Good thing about Dark as a secondary, the pet follows my gang into battle where its heal power actually hits more often than mine, plus it has a few nice immob and hold powers.

The flame thrower attack is what makes the arsonist so suicidal I think, makes him run in close to use it. The trouble is he doesnt clear out after he has done it, making him prime target for devestating close combat attacks of some elite bosses.

Have two different pistols;
Pistol 1, fully automatic standard slugs, have the toggle to switch between ammo types (single fire DoT, single Ice hold, etc).
Pistol 2, specialised pistol that fires the aoe and "nuke" rounds. (think terminator 2, where he dual wielded the 9mm and M203)

There have been examples where this Act has been temporarily suspended, both in real life and cinema.

Although in this context I can really only see them in the Rikti war zone. Can't really see Sgt. Sam "The Butcher" Smith and his squad of weekend warriors taking on the Rikti.

P.S Sam is actually a butcher, it is not a reflection of his fighting prowess, and weekend warriors I got from watching Rambo the other night.

I have a Thug/Dark combo. Only a couple of beefs with this combo;
1 - Dark's heal has a small radius and he thugs seem to always run out of it's range when i get them in range.
2 - When i get in close to the target for my pbaoe Def aura to buff the pets, they run out of it to engage the target at range. Especially the bruiser.

As a side note, this subject always seems to crop up every 6 months or so, but can the Bruiser's primary class be changed to have no ranged attacks? Make him an Axe or Mace user and the theme would sill fit.

To put an end to RMT emails, simply just implement the following:
<ul type="square">[*]Any account cannot send more than 5 emails per hour; and a max of 10 per day.[*]The email name/recipient has to be typed (remove the right-click-email option from the search screen)[*]Extra option in the options/miscellaneous section.

I like these ideas, would like to reccomend a modification to the one concerning Global Names, make them unchangable.

Hey Posi, what are the odds of getting all these lag problems fixed in time for the double xp weekend?

AMD64 3400+, 2gb Ram, Radeon AGP 9550 256mb, 56k dialup modem.

When people say they get bad lag in villan zones, how low are they talking? for me mercy, st martial and grandville all clock in at 6-8fps, every other zone is like 8-12fps. all hero zones manage about 10-13fps so these figures for me are playable.

although recently, if there are a large amount of particles and/or physics then it takes a dive, maybe a bit better than half as brutal as a hamidon raid.

Not to put too fine a point on it, it's about them not understanding us.

People change, it's part of human nature for one generation to be different from the next. We are different from our parents as they are from theirs. Every generation thinks that theirs is they way it should be, change is something that people aren't comfortable with. They see how we live, how we like things and they don't understand it, they don't understand how we can live like this when their lives were so much better.

Chances are most will never understand, they will keep trying to mold us in their image, trying to make us just like them and will never understand why we say no.

lvl 32 as a thugs MM is pretty good, yet in order to get any kind of functionality out of the bruiser i cant use any upgrades on him, on the plus side the arsonists dynamite is a blast.

Putting the "Pitbull" AI on the bruiser wouldn't be an unwelcome change, but one thing that puzzles me is that the bruiser description says he is supposed to have an automatic rifle for long ranged attacks.

Continuing to belittle the bruiser, he doesn't feel like the end all of MM Thugs, sure his entrance is cool, but the constant knockback makes AoEs like (dark miasma) Tar Patch and the Debuff (name?) useless. Give him a huge steel pipe graphic and assign him the mace powerset.

if you were able to respec out secondaries, and a dev did a quick seacrh thereafter it would show not one person would have it at all, it has been constantly reduced (has it ever had even a slight increase in anything?), I have seen dozens of new blasters running about, not one has devices.

You may get one or two who will take it in the future yes, but largely for thematical reasons than usefulness.

Turret has its uses, like in the respec trial you plant it near the reactor, there are other instances where it is useful, be damned if i can recall any other time i used it. Not exactly useful, it lasts less then however long it does usually due to the radiation, doesnt cause enough aggro to pull mobs off the reactor, has a fairly long cooldown and you need the red shield so you can set it again.

The malta one is far superior, better range, better damage and it lasts forever (assuming people dont kill it). Why they didnt give us a mobile drone from the beginning is the subject of much debate.

Devices/Gadgets is a good concept, not as useful as say the range/damage buff powers from energy, or the holds/slows from ice, or the end sapping of electricty secondary sets. It really needs something to make people say "Wow, that looks good enough to take."
