I've never gotten a shard drop or a purple recipe drop ever... mind you I don't play my Incarnate much at all anymore because of that so...
Actually I lie, I'll have to log in, I might have one shard. -

This pretty much. Its all in the luck of the draw. Some days the roll chart just loves you, while others you may begin to wonder if the game just doesn't like you. -
What's your budget? What's the wattage on your power supply? You may want to also pick up a power supply because if you've got a 6150 you've likely got a stock machine off the shelf with a 250-350W PSU, most gaming cards look for 480-600W.

To me it's obvious that automatic beta access applies only to prepurchase as, unlike with CoV, there is no advanced code sent out by the retailers to apply to the account. NC has no way of know who pre-ordered. It's also obvious that the loyalty program stuff was written up way before any pre-anything plans were finalized, and at the time they probably assumed things would work like they did for CoV.
To me this is the only logical state of affairs, and there's no need for clarification, but hey... I could be wrong. -

That's not the point... the point is why did he turn to becoming Reichsman? Did he decide not to go back to paragon and decide to help Germany recover...if so how did Nazis come about as a hero helping them out would lessen Hitler's rhetoric. Did he not help oand just chill in Germany or something? Even if he did he would still likely of gotten away from Germany as quick as possible...And what of Recluse?
There is another option... he's trying to work from the inside...
Any way you look at it He's a Tragedy or a Traitor in support of Nazis. There is literally no course of events that could happen that make that not the case. We are either keeping him from helping the good cause, been brainwashed away from being Statesman, or a Traitor in support of Nazi ideals (in other words he said the holocaust was a good thing)
IN all likelyhood the States in OUR dimension was pretty hard on the Jews and likely African Americans as well, Gays etc, until society as a whole became more tolerant and he either followed suit or pretended too.
If he went to help Germany with the restoration the only leap he'd need to make is German empire over American and that would be an easier arguement to win for the Nazi Party. -
Yes. Big time.

I sense a sore issue, so sorry if I offended . I know exactly where Canada and I made an assumption that they meant United States only release when they say North America.
From what I have read they have not differentiated in terms of NA being Canada & US or just the US. It may be worth PMing a Red Name to get some clarification on the subject.
No worries, it's just irritating. When I lived in New Brunswick I would have to buy books on Amazon and have them shipped to friends across the border and then drive to Maine and smuggle them into Canada.
Companies have a tendancy to say released in NA to make a US only release sound international. No sweat if you live anywhere but Canada and Mexico. -
Quote:I've always thought of Spider-Man as Batman's analog in the Marvel U, but more in the Praetorian sense of a double than the sense we're discussing here. Peter Parker is like the polar opposite of Bruce Wayne, but in a way that makes them fit the same niche.Originally Posted by Ironik
Manticore would be a Green Arrow/Batman mash-up. While there's Hawkeye, I don't think there's an equivalent to Batman in the Marvel universe.

I was meaning more the supervillain-ruling-his-own-country-and-plotting revenge-on-his-former-colleague thing
EDIT: Although I'd agree that Recluse is much more of a Doom type. Magneto acts out of pride, while Recluse rules through fear and personal feelings of inadequecy. Recluse's motives are similar to Dooms in a lot of ways. Nemesis kind of covers a few basis. His actions mimic Doom in teh doubles and the robots, but his motives are much more... nemesis like. -
Quote:I know generally Geography can be a weak point for some but Canada does border the United States and accounts for more North American Land Mass than the US. So far it seems that "North America" means "The United States of" specifically and I kind of hate that.Originally Posted by Tired Angel
The boxed set is only available in North America - anywhere else that plays on the NA servers will have to import it and those that don't only have the option to buy the digital version.
Anyway benefit of the doubt for now and I restate the question, has anyone heard anything about Canada. The retailers providing preorders for Going Rogue only ship to the US, and NC says it's available in NA. NA=/=US -
Considering the box version is available for preorder on both Amazon.com and Newegg.com but not Amazon.ca or newegg.ca what's the word on availability outside of the United States?
Everything official says North America, but I'd really hate to wait until July/August/September to roll DS or DP just to find out my only option is via the NC Store and I could have bought it months ago.
Will Canadians get to buy a physical box or just US customers? -
The King's of Awesome are lead by my Scrapper whose /SR is explained by the fact that he can see in 4 dimensions. Time is a viewable object to him. Thanks to his time bending abilities our base exists 4/5ths of a second earlier than the current events in Blyde Square, Steele Canyon. The base itself is a series of interlocked shipping containers hovering above street level.

If you're using 64 bit windows you will not get a virus. What you are worried about is spyware/malware and anything purporting itself to be an anti-virus doesn't necessarily watch for those. Believe me, one of my jobs is doing virus removals at a major PC retailer and most of the time the person whose machine I'm working on has AVG on it, and is riddled with malware.
Very few actual virus' work in the 64 bit environment, almost all malware does. Make sure whatever you settle on has a decent malware component. Last I looked into it, antivir and MSE came up on tops for malware, with antivir being preferred.
I use MSE. The others have paid versions. You're not going to give away what someone will pay you for. I don't trust the free version of anything that has a paid version to give me 100%. Similar arguments could be made for MSE I know, but at the end of the day I'm still not paying for protections.
Also MSE cannot be easily turned off as it kind of... integrates with windows. That means I won't forget to turn it back on. -

The current 60 Month Vets would be happy.
Everyone else would be happy.*
Devs would be happy...more money.
*However, I could see some current non-60 month vet players being upset about the fact that they have spent potentially 59 months "working towards" this reward...only to be told that they have to buy it now.
But thats the reason I ask the question of what would be a equally good 60 Month Vet Reward.
If the devs did this it would be a huge slap in the jaw to anyone under 60 months.
The only FAIR way to make it paid is to take it away from everyone who has it and give them something else, but people don't want fair they want awesome. Fair does not mean equal. -
Quote:I gotta say that this is one of my pet peeves too, and in truth there is no grey area between significant and insignificant. From a technical aspect, there is a line in the sand where an event ceases to be insignificant and becomes signified in some way.Originally Posted by BackAlleyBrawler
"hard" or "difficult" are not appropriate terms when referring to an unknown quantity of time. When the actual amount of time required is unknown, saying it would require a "significant amount" may not be correct either. It may take 2 hours, 2 weeks, 2 months, etc. Weeks or Months would be a significant amount of time while hours or minutes might not be. All we do know is that it won't take 2 seconds, which would be an insignificant amount of time...so the most accurate and comprehensive thing we could say would be that it's "not insignificant"
That said, colloquialism, and connotation, and usage override technicality any day and so unfortunately not insignificant is a perfectly cromulant phrase. -
While I'm most likely to buy a 5850, my soul longs for the day when CB ends and the beta testers cry "the 5770 plays it like a dream at max settings".
I know that day will never come, but a guy can dream. -
I wish Nvidia didn't suck so hard right now.

I live in Sydney Nova Scotia.

And my PC is in my basement, cooling isn`t an issue for me, but double lifetime warrantees are nice.
I did find this card:

Still reluctant to dive in another hundred. The more I ponder the more I`m going to have to force myself to wait until the i17 NDA is lifted. -
Funny thing is, I prefer to buy XFX, and now I can't seem to find much at all in terms of Radeon cards from them from a Canadian retailer.

Never fails, ask a question, find the answer in advance.

Looks like the 5830 series only fairs slightly better than the 260 from Nvidia. More importantly it doesn't fair much better than the 4890's which come in 50 bucks cheaper.
Hope this was a useful venture for someone. If I'm overlooking anything feel free to enlighten me

I had my eye on an XFX Radeon HD 5850 for a bit now and just about got the 350$ together when it seems to have gone out of commission on Newegg.ca. It's around this time that I noticed the Radeon HD 583X. I'm not considering the GTX 285, but I know the 5850 trumped the 285 in benchmarks.
I've done a quick google search and can't find any benchmarking for the 5830 series, so I wonder is this card worth my time?
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16814150481
Or should I shop around for a 5850 again. I do prefer to shop Newegg if at all possible now that they serve Canadians. Also this card is about a hundred bucks cheaper, so I could get some other goodies. -

I recently received a private message. The private message asked for me to lend 10 Billion Inf to the sender. The sender swore he would earn it back for me. After that, he stated he could make 5B in a week for me.
I expressed my lack of interest in such an exchange.
He sent me a reply asking if there was anything he could do for 3 Billion Inf. I have sent him a response that he could earn the money I have offered to commission some AE arcs. Also, out of the kindness of my own heart and general faith in the charity of my fellow forumites I have started this thread.
This is the "Help People" thread.
Here, players who need Inf help can ask for such help. Hopefully the sender of the private message will be able to find willing and able help in this thread. Feel free to speak up if you need Inf help.
I hope that someone will organize a fund for such endeavors. I am not willing to organize nor facilitate such a fund. However, I am willing to donate hundreds, perhaps even thousands of Inf to the cause.

I had this issue when I first moved to &. I uninstalled CoH, updated windows, my drivers, and then reinstalled CoH from the website fresh as a daisy (no carry over of an old install trick).
I'm not sure which part of my cleansing ritual did the trick but it worked like a charm. -
I've sold a base on the market forums before, but since you're looking to buy on a specific server, I'd try the server's subforum.
