  1. My thoughts? I love it all. Except for the recipe drops rates suddenly sucking.

    FPS issue

    Just noticing something.... that gt220 only has 48 processors cores versus the gt280's 240.

    I haven't been keeping up to date with graphics card advances, but if what I'm seeing on Nvidia's site is any indication, the 220 is the low end of the current generation and probably shouldn't be considered a gaming quality card.

    No discussion needed. You've already covered all the important points.
  4. I'm still planning to go /EA. It's the closest I'll get to playing a stalker. And it is pretty. And claws is sexy. I'll be pretty AND sexy.

    Can't beat that.

    I miss mine.
  6. I've done surprisingly well with my claws/sr in the last week. Apparently the addition of elusivity made SR viable again. Kind of.

    Forum titles

    It appears that Cuppa Incarnate and all custom titles have been nuked. Everyone with over 10000 posts seems to have been reverted to Forum Cartel.

    It doesn't matter what powers it turns off. It offers the CHARACTER persistent mez protection unless detoggled by running out of endurance.

    The mez protection offered from CB/DS, I agree, is useless and should be ignored.

    Please note: My WS is human only. I choose to run without said potential persistent mez protection and get out of mez free card.
  9. Was told by someone starting with the letter M that I had been on the prowl for 1 hour when I dinged 10 on the claws/ea doing nothing but street hunting.

    For me, I calculate my attack chains based on 90% fury or 180% damage buff, so anything that does show up beyond that is pure gravy.

    Would I gripe about it if they made it a little easier to get a little closer to 100% fury? Hell no. Am I that concerned about it? Hell no.

    I'm about to get a claws brute.

  13. I've had fun during the last 4 pvp events I've taken part in.

    3 player FFA
    30 player FFA
    1 on 1
    RV zone

    I have no opinions to voice beyond stating this fact.
  14. There also seems to be a delay, haven't figured out how long it is, that you can't change rep on poster after you've done so before regardless of whether it's on a new post.
  15. Bill Z Bubba was created as my first character way back in Sep of 04. The name is a blatant ripoff of Beelzebub that I found humorous at the time and still chuckle about. I had no idea that he'd become my main character and forum handle when I finally joined the forums 4 months or so later.

    I'm glad to have gotten spaces added to the name.

    I don't get the problem, really. I know my opinions are often not well received.

    I've taken no part in any rep farming threads.

    Yet my rep seems healthy.

    I've only received one comment that I felt deserved being modded.

    I'm not sure what the big deal is.

    Buzzsaw Brutes

    The buzzsaw DM concept sort of went out the window when the animations were tweaked not too long ago.

    Right now, the highest DPS chain I've seen for DM on a brute uses MG, SL, Smite and Gloom.
  18. Forums and work. One of the benefits/curses of being a sysadmin is that I get to access work regardless of whether I'm at work. Of course, the flip side is that I have no moral issues with surfing the net while I'm at work because of this fact.

    Other games: Left4Dead. Waiting for the new Mechwarrior.
  19. 1: Scrappers don't have comparable mitigation to tanks.

    2: Fury generation was altered at some point in PvP. Brutes get better HP and tanker level caps.

    3: Working as intended.

    4: Woring as intended.

    5: Working as intended.

    6: Working as intended. Serious answer, blasters have better DPS.

    7: Doms recently received a very nice full time damage buff.

    8: Working as intended.

    9: Working as intended.
  20. They'd have to change the game's rating. If I'm going VR, I want blood and guts all over my claws.

    Orbiting Death.

    I do wonder if IA stays up and running due to the fact it feeds off of your own HP.

    Ice/Ice Brutes?

  23. They get mez protection. It's called dwarf form. This has always been true but now it even acts as a breakfree.
  24. Conclusion? There's far too much defense available from Set bonuses.
  25. What's missing is shockwave.


    edit: yea, I know... knocks them out out invincibility which sucks. But it's such an awesome power anyway.
