  1. Update: My performance in Mercy is horrible. I just yanked the 10.4a drivers and I'm loading the official 10.4s.

    I'm also looking into the OpenGL preview driver.
  2. Yes. Your 50 hero can send an email with a boatload of inf to your own global name and then log in as a level 1 hero and claim the money.

    Evil must email evil, as you stated.

    Yes, I giggled like a schoolgirl when this showed up on test. Now all we need is offline sg/vg invites and I'm golden.

    E-mailing stuff

    My guess?

    "Emails with an attachment may only go to a single recipient."

    You have multiple recipients.

    Also, emails with an attachment can ONLY go to a global name.

    Your global name is receiving the email. Once you delete the email, it's gone from all your alts. You won't need to delete the email 32 times.
  4. I can most certainly understand why khel form customization is low on the priority level. Maybe that will change now that they unlock at 20.

    I never checked.... are the human form powers customizable at all?

    Translation 1: Due to the background on the Kheldian forms being specific types of entities, it makes no sense that they would be able to change their own colors. They are, after all, naked creatures.

    Translation 2: They ain't doin it cuz it's too gorram hard to figure out so they're throwing out silly rationales for avoiding it.
  6. je_saist, yay or nay on having an aero them enabled for you?

    Kyasubaru, same question.

    i'm just scanning through threads trying to find out why Shader Quality is disabled for me now
    Don't quote me on this, but I thought that Shader went N/A as soon as you turned on any Ultra mode item because Ultra settings require the max Shader Quality to function.
  8. My word is based in logic and rationality. Yours isn't.

    You don't even know the basic underlying math of defense.

    Quote:
    Hello those are old numbers :P , at 30% they still hit for 25% chance
    Base 50% chance to hit minus 30% defense equals 20% chance to hit.

    Go away until you know what you're talking about.

    Gee seems reality is far fetch here .
    For you, obviously. Just like your grasp of the English language.
  9. Negative. AO and FSAA still hate each other. AO disabled.
  10. Only one of us sounds coherent and it isn't you.

    IF the tactical training toggles weren't team buffs and IF the AT was more melee-centric, I might agree with you that the set needs some DDR.

    As it stands, my 30something soldier is running at +0/x3 and only dies when I'm not paying attention. For what the VEAT is, that's fine until I start using IOs. Then I'll push the diff higher.

    Why do you think the devs would give soldiers DDR when they are designed to be running around in packs buffing each others' defense so high that the debuffs won't matter?

    Especially in light of comparing it to the recent defender buff which is nothing more than a SO worth of extra damage that is only that high while solo and rapidly disappears as the team size goes up?

    Adding DDR to soldiers will accomplish nothing but pushing them even farther into tankmagery.
  11. The hyperbole is strong with this one. Learn to play, n00b. I handle EBs just fine.

    LOL thats the reason the game got boring for me .
    Sorry but i like tough stuff and soloing is what i like , will team but putting during team session on no xp gain and double influence :P
    Cause its freaking boring what most of you people suggest .
    You're not listening. You want a challenge solo, you got it. You're playing a character designed around its team buffs.

    It's like whining about defenders and tanks having low damage output.

    If you want to solo it, you get what you get. I soloed mine. I accepted that the design of the AT was for teaming. Just like tanks and defenders.

    If you choose to play away from that design, deal with the consequences. Just like I did.

    My soldier is now in the mid 30s. She hovers around in near complete safety blasting the carp out of her enemies.

    Your request is denied.

    EDIT: Now you MIGHT be able to talk the powers guys into buffing VEATs the way defenders just got buffed: higher damage solo that scales down as the team size scales up, but I'm 99.9% sure that they'll laugh and ignore the request. VEAT damage output being considerably better than defender damage output and all.

    Fury isn't the cause of that. The low brute melee damage modifier is the cause of that. Fury is what allows a brute to surpass scrapper damage regardless of the vastly lower AT mod.

    It's up

    Step 1: Tweak Graphics Settings by disabling Ambient Occlusion and Depth of Field. Set FSAA to 8X and AF to 16X.

    Step 2: Log on main and change to animated tail.

    Step 3: Create Demon Summoner

    Step 4: Go back to work.

    I have my doubts, but you never know.
    As do I due to this post from Tex.

    He seems to be implying that the AO/FSAA problem is not ATI specific.
  16. Home right now waiting on the server lock to be lifted but I'm still on the 10.3s.... ahh fark it.. grabbin the 10.4a. geez... 113.9MB?
  17. GBE, do the 10.4a drivers correct the AO vs FSAA issue?
  18. Do you have an end-red in every attack and every toggle? I've run both widows and soldiers into the post-SO game. Twice each actually.

    Was it a huge bucket of fun? (EDIT: And I solo 95% of the time.) No, not really, but they aren't supposed to be. What you're experience IS the balance point to what happens when you get multiple VEATs together and all those buff toggles start stacking, turning them into a squad of untouchable gods.

    Your requested changes will not be happening.
  19. Auston,

    Avira AntiVir is free. Found here.

    For Spyware, some swear by Malwarebytes but I didn't care for it and still use Spybot Search and Destroy. Both are free.

    As a matter of fact, the protection software that you have to pay for is usually garbage. I would NEVER install Norton or McAfee on my rigs. Even AVG is heading down the bloat path lately.
  20. It doesn't appear that jg0001 has posted since last year.

    Doooooooooom.





    oh wait, no.... WOOT.
  24. Brutes get higher HP and at the top end do around 3% more sustained damage than scrappers. They get a longer duration on fiery embrace and a higher mag on cloak of fear. They level faster in the pre-SO levels due to fury. Brute.Claws.Spin is ridiculously overpowered compared to Scrapper.Claws.Spin.

    The devs OBVIOUSLY hate villains.
  25. So at 50 I would be able spend 50 some odd million inf and safely remove every enhancement I have slotted without the need of a respec.

    As much as I'd like it, I don't see the devs going for it when they stand by so firmly on keeping us locked into our enhancements.
