    Just a note here.

    You can get Scorpion Surprise by running Mender Silos over and over.

    Issue 16 Blurbs

    I'm starting this so we can keep Triumph informed about what's going on for the next month or so with Issue 16 news. Feel free to post any non-NDA Issue 16 info that you may come across.

    I'll start it off.

    It's possible that we're seeing a default message because they haven't edited it yet.

    EDIT: Fixed my goofy sentence to say what it was originally supposed to say.
  7. I had this error before, but it was a long time ago. Head over to the technical issues forum before reinstalling it altogether. Those guys will know what the issue is. (It may be that you need to update your graphics driver. I really don't remember what I did to fix it long ago, though.)

    I didn't feel that the summary explained to my satisfaction whether or not the animations themselves were customizable, and I thought I'd ask about it. I didn't realize I would anger people with my inquiry, I'll just go back into obscurity where I belong.
    I wasn't being nasty. I was being matter of fact. You must be a little sensitive right now. Seriously, I'm not mad or angry or anything.

    It's just that the entire point of Customization is to color your characters' powers. The reason Martial Arts and Super Strength are getting different animations is because those powers don't have much color to them at all, so they wouldn't benefit from color tinting like other powersets.

    We also need the EU Training Room to mirror the Live servers up to the point when we deploy the pre-Issue 16 download patch (i.e. where you predownload I16 data files before the next Issue is released).
    Thanks for the answer GF.

    It does...unless you read in a language other than English.
  11. Wait...is this the 4th or 5th time?

    It's hard to keep count....

    They have to TEST IT.
    If we don't overreact now, it may be too late down the road.

    Positron_CoH I can't believe we forgot the patch note about Pets zoning with their owners in I16.
    I guess they'll be in the patch notes for Beta Testers....

I am SHOCKED, really, just SHOCKED.

    Are you talking about all the random people at Comic-Con that may not even play the game?

    - or -

    Are you talking about the loyal player base that was really excited about getting a preview of this issue like they've always been able to?

    Yeah...I was like $1100 shy of it. Crossing the country can be expensive apparently.

    The servers have been taken down (meaning, not even Beta testers can get to it at the moment) until this issue is fixed.
    So should we interpret this as

    "We are trying to fix the side effect so that everyone can access Character Creation as usual."

    - or should we interpret it as -

    "Once this is fixed, only Closed Beta Testers will be able to access Character Creation during the Closed Beta period."

    ?
  20. It's also nice to see the sweet deal I got on mine. BestBuy wanted them off the shelves a while back for the sake of newer cards. I got mine for 119 right after Christmas 08.
  21. From the looks of it, I'd say rutruh, but I'll let the more tech-savvy folks check it out. It looks like the +12 rating is very low (unless I'm reading incorrectly).

    It's plenty. My PSU is only like 400 W I think.

    Check out Miuramir's post above if you want to get really detailed with it, but I think you should be fine.

    On second thought, this is true:

    There should be a label there which lists this information.
    So go back to Miuramir's post and check the label on your PSU for those specs.
