Thank you very much for the link...it's on there. Down a little way, but it's there.

do you, or anyone else, know what that command is?

I purchased an nVidia GeForce GTX 275 OC for i17's "Ultra Mode". It looks great but my FPS weren't as high as I would have liked for them to be, so I decided to buy another and run it in SLI. I installed it and it seems that the FPS haven't gone up at all. Am I missing something or are the dual graphics cards not supported by the game or nVidia itself? I don't know...is there someone out there that could help me please?

Hey Stoney!

I hate St0n3y because he beats me up in PvP! It's not fair

I've also, like many, been following the threads as much as my time allows, but just found out last night, while teaming with st0n3y that he had taken over the lead...obviously he should have been working lol. I don't post much, but I wanted to let st0n3y that I/we are behind you and the rest of the crew all the way! Don't rush it - nobody's died yet bro even though I can't make a PvP build worth a sh*t without Mids' or maybe I can't make one at all lol. Seriously though, I wish you the best of luck and I'm gonna donate millions...check's in your email spam folder, probably.

I have 2 builds for my katana/regen scrapper - one whith SJ and one without. My reasoning behind the build without SJ is so I would have tactics for the confusion and fear resistance. It does seem to help with the duration of each. Anyone wanna help or post another build? I went for recharge and hp mostly. Both builds are endurance heavy, I know that but I think I'll be ok with MoG. Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Yeah, we've done that one but the names are made to look all alike. That's why I was asking. Thanks for the response though

There is a "bind" in-game that targets a certain enemy (example: /bind <key> target_custom_next <name or partial name of enemy>). I use this bind all the time when I'm working on defeat badges or gladiator badges and STF's (security chief?) - I love it.
However, it does not work in PvP. In team PvP I would like to use a bind to have everyone target the same person at the same time.
Does anyone know a similar bind that does work in PvP? It'd be pretty handy to have on team PvP
Thanks

anyone else care to comment?

Well, that really sucks! So, in PvE you can't get good bonuses with PvP sets. The toon would have to be only for PvP, which is the point I guess. I just don't want to have to spend billions on another build to PvE with. huh...

Maybe my searchfoo isn't very good, but I can't find anything about what I'm looking for. I have HEARD that PvP set bonuses and regular set bonuses will not count toward that 5 same set bonus cap. I'm not sure if that's clear...If I have 5 2.5% end recovery set bonuses from regular sets and 2 more in the PvP sets (the PvP part only, not the regular bonuses) do I still get the bonuses when in a zone or the arena or not? Thanks for any help!

That is very helpful! Thank you!!

I'm trying to get the Serpent Blue Ink Man Gladiator Badge and I'm hunting in Sirens' Call. I've looked it up and found that they have to be lvl 30+ and they are. I have killed at least 50 "blue ink men" (there are 3 different kinds - serpent, dragon and eagle) does anyone know why i don't have a bar starting or am i supposed to kill only "Serpent Blue Ink Men"? Thanks for your help.

Yes, that is exactly the problem! I didn't realize you had to get below the base HP. I very much apreciate the info! It's working now...anyone have any suggestions on how to make it go faster? lol

I am working on badges for taking points of damage. Right now I'm on the Hard Case badge (take 500,000 points of damage). I can't find anywhere on the forums that anyone else is having a problem, but my bar/hp counter is not moving at all. I have tried sitting in a fire in Mercy, PvP damage (which worked when I logged my other acct and hit my hero, but he's on the next badge up) and regular missions. I put my toon in a mission last night, taking damage, and let him sit there for over 8-1/2 hours and kicked my acct and logged on another computer this morning and the bar still hasn't moved. Anyone else having a problem here? I've sent multiple petitions and bug reports with no response...

I really am not happy about having to burn through 2 earned respecs just to get one. It would be nice if they added rather than lose what you have.

I never have understood the whole freespec/respec thing. Can someone explain to me (like i'm a noob) exactly what happens if I have, let's say, made a respec recipe but haven't used it; what happens to that? Do I lose it or do I have 2 respec's available. Also, same question for respec trials if I claimed the respec.

OK...here goes...there are 2 types of respecs in the game, earned and free. Earned respecs stack, you get them from the respec trials, vet rewards, respec recipes and from the 1st Patron arc for villains. They are all redeemed the same way, by visiting a contact in Galaxy (heroes) or Nerva (villains).
Free respecs are granted by the devs for various reasons: major power changes or anniversary celebrations are the most common. They do NOT stack, think of the free respec as a toggle on your character...it's either on or off. The grant sets everyone's toggle to on...if yours was on already, then nothing happens. You claim this respec by either typing /respec or visiting the above contacts.

Thank you very much for clearing that up for me.
