One thing I'm curious about... people say things like "I'm going to respec out of my travel power and just use Ninja Run!"

... But does it become unavailable in situations where Temp Powers are disabled? (Master TF/SF runs, Ouroboros challenges, etc.)

I seem to recall nVidia having some issues with overheating on the 8800s shortly after they were released. Whether it's part of that issue or an isolated one, it sounds like you're having similar problems to the 7600 I lost last summer when it started to burn up.

You might want to open your case and ensure the fan on the card is spinning, and that it's not clogged with too much dust. (In my case, a tuft of dog fur got stuck in the fan and kept it from spinning, which led to toasty-town. )

The above are all available for Broadsword as well.

I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like Katana users only get access to the Chinese Broadsword.

*facepalm* -_-;

Wow, that kinda came out of nowhere.

... That didn't stop me from purchasing it already, though. >_>

Edit:
Here's the "box art" on the NCSoft store site:

Also, to the OP:

You might be interested to hear that Super Booster IV: Martial Arts was released today.

I'm a 66 month vet now, and it honestly wouldn't bother me if they made the vet costume pieces available as craftable recipes that new players have the option of earning as drops or purchasing via the market on a per-character basis, but will continue to be unlocked as Vet Rewards on an account-wide basis on the current schedule.

Start with the standard Angel and Demon wings and then make all costume pieces beyond that (except the Arachnos helmets, since they were preorder bonuses) available as recipe drops.

Patience, Robotic one. The testing won't start for another two hours and twenty minutes.

Looks like I need to get back to revamping my Dr. Brainstorm arc... though I warn you, Aeon, Dr. B mentions in it that he doesn't think too highly of you. I believe the word "charlatan" was used.

Was going to add the Taurus Judge as well, but it looks pretty similar to the Magnum Revolver already in-game.

Oh? Did BABs take on the next Ninja Gaiden/Dead or Alive game as a side project?

First of all, your suggestion would be impossible to implement without redesigning the whole Mission Architect process. And given what you're trying to accomplish, it sounds more like you'd rather have separate storage for arcs and custom mobs anyway (as noted in your final line), which is probably possible but still improbable and not really necessary.

Second, I'd like to bring your attention to some information gained during HeroCon last month: the space per MA arc will soon be increasing to at least double the 100K they currently give us. To my knowledge, there's no word on whether we'll be able to include more than 5 missions per arc, but that means we'll be able to include more custom NPCs per arc easily. (It could also be paving the way for eventual customization of custom NPC powersets, but that's just my own speculation).

Third, you are no longer limited to just having three arcs per character. You can purchase up to five more storyarc slots for a total of 8 player-controlled slots. This does also does not include slots that are freed up by achieving a Dev's Choice or Hall of Fame award.

Finally, before someone like the infamous Venture comes in and says it less politely... if you really feel the need to pump THAT MANY custom NPCs into an arc, you should re-evaluate what you're trying to accomplish with that arc. If you just want a place to showcase and beat up all your custom critters, that's great, but don't expect other players to be thrilled with the mission even if you are. To keep other players excited and interested in your arcs, you should always try to give a reason why the enemies are there and why you need to defeat them.

And of course, visit the Mission Architect section of the forums and read some guides about building balanced custom groups and enemies, and test your creations as many times and with as many alts and varied teammates as you can.

My vet reward suggestion is a summonable kiosk like the portable invention table that connects you to the market interface from anywhere, and is usable by anyone nearby.

This would be especially handy for teaming in coop zones like RWZ and Cimerora, where exiting the zone to hit the market kicks you from a coop team.
