Why isn't this forum dead yet?

I'm feeling better!

Oh. Cool, I guess. I keep hearing good things about the EU boards, so maybe some of that will spill over to these boards and replace the doom and gloom that always comes with any new Issue.

[/ QUOTE ]That would certainly be a nice change. Not to mention lessening my ever-present desire to punch things.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's just life, man. My hope is that our European cousins will at least teach me to be more cultured while punching people in the face.

There's still reds, oranges, yellows, etc...but they're desaturated tints.

[/ QUOTE ]

Whoa... hold up, BAB... will this be tied into the Desaturation FX setting in Advanced Graphics Settings within the game?

[/ QUOTE ]

No. "Desaturation FX" refers only to the thing that makes Flashbacks look like an old photograph at the start and end of a mission. Desaturated tints is just a name for a particular kind of color. (If you look at the two far right columns in the color picker... those are desaturated tints.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Aye. BAB set me straight. Just wanted to make sure that I-16 wasn't going to be implementing a whole bucket of graphical doom with the new goodies.

Can I advertise my hatred of the ingame email system and my continued desire for the devs to make it where I can DISABLE THE GORRAM THING?

Why am I getting all these Color Options?

[/ QUOTE ]

That's mean. I'm at work and can't log in. I don't know if I should scream at you or not.

How do you feel about Belhaven Scottish Ale?

[/ QUOTE ]

There are several types, I cant usually find any round here.

Belhaven 80 Shilling is definitely good, but not quite as good as the McEwans 80 Shilling IMHO.
I lived in Dundee for 4 years so got to sample a wide variety of the Scottish beers.

[/ QUOTE ]

You have my envy.

Umbral, you vastly underestimate the mitigation capability of shockwave and you are downplaying its effectiveness either knowingly or not.

Scotch,

Was the first motherboard you used as a replacement identical to the original dead board?

If not, did you install the latest chipset drivers from the m/b manufacturer's website before trying out the latest Nvidia drivers?

Have you updated the BIOS to the latest version also downloaded from the manufcaturer's website?

Same here, houtex. Been on and off Pinnacle for several hours. No issues. Guess it was something out in backbone land that got repaired last night.

A softcapped /Nin Stalker has more staying power than any /SR Scrapper, with slightly lower DDR but alot more toys to play with (including a burst self heal)

[/ QUOTE ]

That's true. Only a matter of time till that set gets ported. It will be interesting to see what they do with hide and caltrops.

[/ QUOTE ]

What makes you think that, if the set will ever be ported over, that Scrappers will keep Hide?

And Scrapper already have access to Caltrops in Weapons Mastery.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's what he's stating.... what will replace Hide and Caltrops if they port Nin over to scrappers.

Claws could probably get away with calling Focus and Shockwave "defensive crutches" because of the knockdown and knockback respective though I don't think anyone actually uses them as such.

[/ QUOTE ]

You'd be wrong.

EDIT: At least in my particular case, of course.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bill doesn't use Shockwave as a crutch. Bill uses it like a gold-plated stair lift with a mini bar and an iPod dock.

[/ QUOTE ]

Gotta make up for that lack of aidself somehow.

Almost added that as a sig, A.

Why is Dark Melee crap?

[/ QUOTE ]

You must have missed the

He's kidding.

[ QUOTE ]
No idea why they'd try to use it again.

[/ QUOTE ]

To match animation times would be my guess.

If you don't already have it, you should grab Mids' Hero Builder from here. If you want to soft cap without weave, or go maneuvers instead of CJ, or mess around with the many other SetIOs that grant positional defense, this is a great tool to view your builds.

It's a little out of date as it just changed development hands, but I bet it will be up to date soon.

If all you're worried about is softcapping, then no it isn't all that expensive.

SR+CJ+Weave all ED slotted gets you to 39.195% to all positions. Edit: 39.195 not 39.125

Need about 6% more.
3% from the steadfast unique.
2.5% from a full set of gaussian.

Basically done right there. Or you can skip the gaussians and go with a full set of obliteration for 3.75% melee and the blessing of the zephyr set for 3.13% range/aoe.

Beer. Usually Newcastle Brown Ale

[/ QUOTE ]

That's my choice when I need a light beer.

How do you feel about Belhaven Scottish Ale?

Don't know about the others, but I generally ignore stalkers when pondering the melee archetypes because stalkers seem more like blasters to me.

Granted, I haven't played one since the last round of major changes, so that opinion is probably pretty far off now. If it is, maybe I'll try out a MA/NIN after I-16 goes live.

In other words, are all the ATI users with that setting disabled because it doesn't play nice with FSAA going to be screwed on the customization front?

BINGO!

EDIT: At least in my particular case, of course.

You do realize that that NCSoft has one tech support group in North America handling all NCSoft North American games, right?

The tech clicked on the wrong pulldown for which game he was responding about. Oh... the horror.

EDIT: I'm not stating that their support is the end all be all of correct answers and quick resolutions. If it was, this forum wouldn't be as active as it is. But generally, when the end user stays on them, the root cause of a problem is usually found.

And as stated earlier, 9 out of 10 times, it won't be their issue.
