    The part where it's not fair to those of us with a stable of predominantly male characters, and my $5 only buys my favorite characters 1 costume when it'll buy someone else 2, and we paid for the exact same thing...?

    Where do you live that you commonly see women walking down the streets in corsets? O_o
  4. I'm... unhappy with this. I know other people have brought up the "gender equality" card and already been beaten down for it because "everyone is happier this way."

    I'm not. This right here basically means that females will get female-only parts, and unless there are "serious clipping issues," they'll also get all the male parts.

    How about from now on, you just don't make any female-only costume options anymore and just make everything unisex? It seems that's the only possible way to get gender equality in this crowd.

    What Hyperstrike said. I'm almost positive that this is going to be a graphics card driver issue, but we need to know what's in the machine and what OS it's using before we can point to the best version to use.
  6. I'd like to see a pattern for the new jeans where the buttons, rivets and studs can be recolored instead of recoloring the stitching--the buttons are more obvious at a distance than the stitching is, and I'd like to be able to make them a standard copper/brass color.
  7. I'm wondering if maybe there was an unannounced (or accidental) patch that made Coldhearted available to Villains/Rogues only, the same way that Isolator can only be obtained by Heroes/Vigilantes?

    Are you indeed a Vigilante at this time, Pyrate? Are any other Heroes or Vigilantes having issues getting credit for the badge?
  8. I believe the leader of each team has to be a member of the SG whose you're starting from, and they must have privileges that allow them to use the raid teleporter.
  9. Is that 71/100 from this year's event, or from previous progress? (I'm not blindly assuming you're a new player just because your forum account is from this year.)
  10. I don't know how long we've been able to change the resolution without being forced to restart the client, but devs... me likey!

    My experience with Dell customer service was a ******* nightmare. Outsourced, barely spoke English, and was obviously reading from a script for everything I said(because they didn't understand what I was saying). Not once could they fix a problem.
    I guess I SHOULD qualify my point by saying I've mostly dealt with Dell's business support line. Their home user support could suck... but I still don't see it being worse than Alienware's B2B support.
  12. I thought this was going to be a discussion about her crazy glowing black light toes.
  13. I will admit that there was some actual LOLing when I read "Soup Control."

    Maybe it was old line art that was recently painted, thus why it appears to be in the new style?

    How do you know it's new? Maybe it was made a while back but wasn't available in time for their wedding?

    I bought both the Gold one with the boxed version when it came out. Then I bought the Pocket D Pack it showed me the Red version.

    I even tried to log out and log in and the Red version didn't show up.
    Is there a bug where you can not get the Red version if you already have the Gold version.
    There is only ONE Pocket D teleporter. Buying the pack does not grant you a second copy of it.
  17. Beta server just came back up. I checked, the Toga, Sandals and Laurel are not available... so there's little to no chance of them being made available this season, unless they've got some special 48-hour "Valentine's Day Sale" cooked up that they're hiding from us.
  18. The post GG alluded to:

  19. I haven't personally seen them on either test or beta, but to be honest, I don't spend quite as much time pouring over those markets as I do the one on the live servers.

    I've got a few minutes to kill, so I'm going to double-check on beta right now, but don't get your hopes up.
    EDIT: Nevermind, beta's currently unavailable due to the new patch. I'll try to check later, if someone else doesn't post here first with the news.
  20. There's a good (and FREE!) memory tester available on http://www.memtest.org. You'll need to download the software and burn it to a CD, then the next time you reboot your computer, let it boot to the disc and run the diagnostic.

    Download link: http://www.memtest.org/download/4.20...+-4.20.iso.zip
  21. I know it includes a monitor in that cost, but it seems pretty high. But Dell does provide good customer support, and as you mentioned, you have had good experiences with them in the past.

    (Just don't buy the system directly from Alienware--I've had nothing but trouble dealing with their support staff.)

    When it comes to desktops, I'm a big fan of the Systemax manufacturer, personally. I've had nothing but good experiences with their support team. Check out this rig and see what you think--it's got a faster processor, more memory, a better video card and more hard drive space:

    Need a monitor to go with it?
    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...p?EdpNo=735812

    Together they'd be $1508, which would save about $120. (I used my home address to calculate the tax, yours may be more or less.) They also offer a free 4-9 day shipping program, so you could spend a little more to get expedited shipping if you preferred.

    It's been my experience that Dell gives really good customer support compared to other manufacturers--the only one I'd say is better from personal experience would be Systemax.

    (The WORST customer service experience I had was with Alienware; they were consistently awful when I dealt with them at my last job, to the point where we dropped them for Dell just for the better service. Sounds ironic, I know... Dell owns Alienware, but the company operates on its own and provides its own service, and it doesn't do so in a satisfactory manner.)

    Anyway, what do you care what someone else does with their money?

    I don't have a job right now and I don't consider this pack to be a waste of my stipend points--and that's with me already owning the emotes and Pocket D teleporter.

    My main character has always fought crime in a teeshirt and jeans. Now he's in really bad-*** jeans. Though I do hope there's a new (untucked) teeshirt option coming out in the future... he looks a bit unbalanced currently.

  25. Tuesday again! NEW STUFFS DAY!

    Today we get the Pocket D Valentine Pack, with 14 new club-wear costume items, 2 (existing) dance emotes and the Pocket D VIP Pass teleportation power for 400 PP... but it's only available until March 6! Individual items listed below:


    (I specially highlighted the subtotal for the costume items alone, for those of you who, like me, already own the dance emotes and the Pocket D teleporter--you're still saving 80PP, or US$1, by buying the pack as a whole.)

    For sales, we've got a 25% discount on Enhancement Unslotters*, Character Rename Tokens and Character Respec Tokens.
    *only the 5x pack of Unslotters is showing on sale at the time I write this; it may or may not change.

    EDIT: OP and spreadsheet have been updated. (Did not remove last week's new store-bought enhancements, as they are still in the store for the time being.) Enjoy everyone!
