Gandhi's belt would be perfect for my Ra themed character, anyone kind enough to tell me what it is?

Just FYI the 3rd place winner was "Great Ceasar's Ghost". Not judging the misspelling, just stating as fact that his name is spelled e-a.

I would like to hover-surf on a shark. You already have the model in-game. Doesn't even need a jet.

Okay I have a hero badger. Went villain. Can't grab individual badge-missions (only arcs) from Ouroboros and yes I did do the stupid introduction arc again. Actually, oddly I could get like, Bocor's badge mission and the others in the 5-15 range. Just NOTHING ELSE unless the badge is part of an arc.
What is wrong with me, did I go stupid and forget something or do I need to tag along with original-villains' Ouroboros badge missions?
SEMI-RELATED: It's not possible for a hero/villain original to get Praetorian Loyalty-choice badges right? -
Quote:Re: my spreadsheet, the resistances to mez are shown when you hover your mouse over a cell that has a red mark on it (indicating a Note; you can also right-click Show Note). They indicate that mezzes wear off in a shorter time, ie. sleeps last only half as long as normal, whether they sleep the opponent or not -- if you use Tesla Cage, even if the enemy is a boss and doesn't get held, if their holds wear off in 75% of the normal duration, then so will what you applied: gotta stack faster. Magnitude still necessary to overcome, resistance means you gotta do it in a shorter time (usually given on my spreadsheet).Originally Posted by PowerLeveler
When you say "resist" do you mean "has a high magnitude of protection" or do you mean "has a high resistance to mezzing"? There's a difference, which makes talking about this kinda weird. "Resist" means, in the technical sense, that mezz effects do work, but they wear off very quickly. Praetorian Resistance, if I remember correctly, have a lot of hold resistance, so they can be held, but it only lasts for a second or two and they're back to fighting. But Romans, with that shout of command thing, have a high magnitude of protection, so it takes repeated applications of a mezz for it to actually affect them.
It's like talking about how defense is part of your character's defenses. It's odd terminology.
My spreadsheet DOES have some updates I haven't released yet because it's just so much information that I don't have access to anymore. Mostly, keep in mind they DID fix the Mook Hitmen. They no longer become permanently confused. I am sad by this because that was hilarious for the years it existed. -
See the post above yours - we've done 270.61, 270.51, and 267.59. They all work fine in safe mode. They will work if booted in safe mode, then increased in graphics. After an increase in graphic quality they will crash upon server select (not to the character screen yet) or while loading the map the character is on. This is using both NVidia "clean install" and Driver Sweeper to reload drivers to try to ensure they're completely uninstalled before installation.
It can't be the [general] card OR the driver OR the settings because I can do it all just fine minus the server crappiness lately and I have the same card, the 270.61 driver, and the settings much higher. (And same processor and mobo) -
Okay, using Nvidia's "clean install" option AND Driver Sweeper to install drivers, the lowest one mentioned worked. Once. It was set to the settings above, but with a little bit of safe mode thrown in (somehow) -- world detail, character detail, particles, view distance were all at minimum and we upped them, restarted City and it broke.
On the 270 driver it crashed on server select (after running fine the first time, and put to the settings mine and his list up there were at, with Jg's nvidia guide settings too). On the one before that, it crashed either there if he chose a server he had a character on for a while, elsewise on loading the map the character was on when the loading bar was 3/4 done. On the lowest driver, it was entirely on loading screen, after it had worked the one time. Again, it ALWAYS works with safe mode, and he can turn up some settings like enviro reflections, FSAA, water to maximum and it plays fine for at least a few minutes, but it can't play on exit and restart.
It works fine for non openGL games. It works wonderfully, in fact. We'll take it in to the shop we bought them from, and give them the settings that work in my twin-puter, and see if they can fix it so his account can at least run those settings, since they work for me for hours at a time.
Any extra ideas about why it might not work/a home fix? I don't know why it'd not work for City but fine for everything else. -
He can play any Steam game like Assassin's Creed 2, Gmod, etc. without ANY issues, but I reckon none of those are OpenGL...so I hope his card isn't broken. (I have the same PC but a slightly smaller C drive, and mine's going fine on the 270s, we JUST got them yesterday)

Niles,
I am infinitely grateful to have met you through the game, and that you wanted to keep me around even after the whole 'blood salvage' thing when VOIPing with your family. I'm no longer looking for a hero - I've got you.

PBAOE, Damage over time
Your fire damage aura. You'll have this early, most likely, though I prefer to take it after Fire shield on a Tank. You can't hurt things from the hospital, after all. (You don't have any choice as a Scrapper or Brute.)
Also I guess it was intent but you missed a ton of the attack sets that can be paired, like Martial Arts, Claws, Spines, Katana...some of which have interesting combo capacity. -
Option 1 here. Old stuff looks like ****. The last 3 years' of characters I've made have always used the newest sets of stuff for at least 90% of their costume simply because the rest looked so bad in comparison (excepting ONE guy who is wearing the second costume I ever made in City (except with a waving tail) simply because the costume was just so bad back then as it is now).
-
I don't have a picture because as far as I know, the video involving it has disappeared from this world.
See, there were several teaser videos released for City of Villains, before it was even in open-beta. One of these involved someone (Positron?) narrating while flying around Port Oakes. I can't recall exactly if it was his character or a second one, but in that video a werewolf type person was shown, and they had ripped beast-leg jeans. Not that baggy ripped crap like currently is in, but tights-jeans with ripped knees. It never made it into beta. Why? It was great for anyone playing a transforming beast. I've always missed it. Having perfectly clean, hemmed beast-leg jeans is stupid if you have just transformed or are a wild crazy feral son-of-a-.
Also this costume option:
http://sdmb.culex.us/pics/main.php?g2_itemId=1153 (for a month or two there was a bug where Tops-Tights-Flack Jacket-Flack Jacket produced this mostly transparent abomination) (PS I am kidding but only kind of, I have several characters missing body parts to all viewers and enjoy it) -
Hm, last I ran the ITF was at least a year ago I think, and didn't see any then. Next time I update I'll slap the Kriegster back in. (Eeek it's been almost a year since I updated...OTOH there isn't that much I can do with it until I can find someone to run Kahn TF with...)

Hi,
thanks to you all for the responses. How do you guys remember all the info that is out there
Respect.
Just what I was looking for and safely saved to the hard drive.
Culex must have spent forever putting this together.
Think a printout is in order, cheers.
I'd love to see how huge a stack of paper that'd take! -
...any definition on that asterisk there for those who will play?
-
The red names are giving out way too many of these costume codes, it's getting to the point where too many people look the same!

Okay, come clean now...
I see SELBORN coming down diagonally from the top right corner. Did you misspell (Dr. Trevor) Seaborn? I almost posted a picture with that one, on the offhand chance that you did. I thought that was awful convenient to be just one letter off like that, and like others, I thought that Ge jus has way too much chance to be random. -

Wrong mod list! My sig and I think the Guide to Guides has the updated one, formatted to the new forums etc. http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=192461 with the latest XP modifications I know about (Family, Freaks)
-
On top of that, the arc's enemies refuse to scale up, so you'll be playing the arc with enemies lower than you, and receive a cut-down arc bonus completion, due to being higher level (without fiddling with difficulty sliders). It is not just a single contact, it is all contacts for this arc.

I have 6 reps; 2 and 5 have comments. I think simply the users are not putting in comments when they pos/neg you?

Hydra have a stiff XP penalty. Check the link in my sig for enemy groups that have better or worse XP values than others, along with the other link for the enemy groups that have better or worse resistance values to your damage than others.
