Quote:I should give that a try. It started to annoy me a little when they switched AVG so I could no longer just shut off the various pieces in my Task Master. Good program, otherwise. Macafee and Norton were good for their day, but their day was a decade ago and they've become these monstrous system hogs I won't even look at anymore.
Bill Z Bubba noticed, too:
Although I used to use AVG, at some point I noticed it became a bit too bloated for my tastes. I'm now using Avira Antivir. -
There's a new cursor setting in the Options. One says "color" and when you switch it I believe it says something like "compatibility mode". Have you tried switching that?

Nuh-uh! If his join date is 2005, he's just getting "old" enough for senile brain-farts.
Me? I came with those standard before I even got the game. -
There's a dealer in the Shard that sells jet-packs? Or are you referring to getting the Day Job jet pack from there?

And no one picked up on the Spartacus thing? Come on, people! That was a gimme!
"I am Spartacus!" -
When I started playing this game back in I6, I only had 256m of RAM (on dialup, no less). It literally took 5-7 minutes to zone. Needless to say, I was not fun to team with.

Quote:I base on Victory strictly because I found the Legion of Valor. That was a great reason for me.
Trialtester is a-wonderin':
I was just wondering what you guys think is the "definition" of your server? I mean, what is considered to be the most remarkable thing in your particular server? -
Quote:Yes, first thing. Unfortunately it made no difference whatsoever.
panthera wonders:
Have you disabled the ATI Hotkey Poller utility?
That causes some problems, if it is running. -
Quote:Well, that helped quite a bit. There's still a touch of the delay, but only if I'm looking for it. But, as you note, it makes typing the in the chat box PAINFULLY slow so I'm still hoping for a "real" fix.
QuantumWedgie helps:
For ATI users who have had the weird "arrow key movement throws me into autorun auto spin" bug, use the suggested fix posted in the first post on this page, then, go to control panel, keyboard, and reduce the repeat delay and repeat rate on your keyboard, this has stopped the 360 autospin on mine but, it makes using the architect for missions nearly impossible as it slows your keystroke input on keyboard inputs. -
Quote:Heh, and these are special needles, too. They're huge. I still have scar tissue in the crook of my elbows from my forays into Plasma Donating back in the '80s. Takes forever, too. 2-3 hours a visit. They take your blood, centrifuge it to separate the plasma from the cells, then they put your cells back in you.
Fleeting Whisper should be scared:
<-- needlephobia D: -
Quote:This is CoX. You really have to go way out of your way to make a character truly "unplayable". Flexibility FTW!
Substrate forgets where he is:
Have you made unplayable characters to stay on theme?

Quote:Period? I'm afraid you've mistaken your post for "Are you there God? It's me, Margaret."
graystar_blaster turns up the Blume:
no it is this post (period.)

Whichever one I happen to be playing at the moment.
I'm so fickle. -

Pfft. Like catgurlz can spellz.

Best April Fool's joke they've done. In fact, one of my SG mates was sorely disappointed to find out it was a joke.

Quote:Actually, it seems to be more about the way you express yourself. For example....
Stone Daemon doesn't see:
It's bad when I can no longer tell whether you're purposely taking what I say out of context, or you just don't get it.
No, they most certainly are NOT. It's not your call, and there is no "right" or "wrong" here, only your preference.Quote:If at any point, at any time, a player puts his/her secondary over his/her primary, that person is playing wrong. -
Quote:That would almost literally be a fate worse than death to me.
Fleeting Whisper cries DOOM:
Hey, man, some smokers live to be 100!
...hope I die before I get old... Yeah, yeah, I know. TOO LATE!

I'm not a huge fan of social networking sites like this.

Quote:There really isn't any, IMHO, and I believe it's set up that way on purpose. Frankly, the super-hero "genre" is one of the most flexible that exists (as noted above), because you can fit just about any other genre inside it. Comicbook worlds contain pirates and ninjas and catgirls and private detectives and et cetera et cetera. Everyone's welcome!
JGHopkins wants pinnacles:
I was thinking the other day about how many games, MMO or otherwise have characters that I would consider the epitome of that series
for instance, Star Wars it would be Jedi, WoW(icky) Would be a Paladin etc.
I got to thinking about what would be classic in this game.
What do nyou think it is. A typical INV?SS tanker or someone using electricity. what about travel powers, fly is classic, but teleport is more prevalent.
what are your opinions on the subject.
(If I'm not being clear let me know)
A look at my site will show someone that's very interested in comic book archetypes. I have over 100, almost every one an homage of some kind or another and I certainly haven't done them all yet. -

Kheldarn gets the cane waggle:
What about Old Age?
And, of course, get the hell off my lawn! -
Quote:Well, we don't need any of them. They're extra. Nor do you need to buy them right when they come out, or even at all. They're there for if and when you want them.
Evilanna has self-control issues?:
I've bought every booster pack and every in-game item pack and I have to admit that this "translation" feels too close to the truth for comfort for me.
Why do we need lots and lots of booster packs?
Whatever schedule works for them works fine for me.Quote:Why can't they be a once in a blue moon twice a year type thing?
Then keep your nickels and dimes. It's really that simple.Quote:I hate being nickel and dimed.

Quote:Well, I'll hit the big 5-0 in October, but I'm also a heavy smoker that would be surprised to see 60. And I did say "possibly".
TonyV denies my decrepitude:
Dude, unless you're like 80 or something, you have plenty of time left to see the Next Big Thing in computers. Something comes along to revolutionize them every 10 years or so, and really, that timespan is growing shorter and shorter.
Certainly a possibility. That always seemed to be how the old sci fi concepts were, and the science geeks to have a tendency to get a lot of ideas from there (just look at flip cell phones and think of the original Star Trek).Quote:I think you're right. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that eventually, that central computer won't even be your computer. I mean, think about it. Right now, the game that we all play is controlled by central computers owned by NCsoft. I also buy movies and television shows that live on Amazon's servers. My tax information lives on Intuit's servers. The current craze is to offload everything into "the cloud." At some point, I imagine a time when the devices we own are all basically dumb terminals to the real computers, which have high availability, redundancy, can be endlessly scaled up or out as needed, etc.
**coughs while lighting up another coffin nail**Quote:If you are 80, then sorry about that, and it was really nice knowing you. Put in a good word for me with whatever rulers of the afterlife you run across. Um... I mean... Hey, chin up, you can make it to 100!

Quote:Oh, oh, yes, certainly. I got that. I'm just hoping there's more to it than, say, run the Midnighter intro arc and wait a week. I'm hoping for about 10-15 hours of play at my VERY casual pace, which to the more speedy among us might be one medium long night or a couple of short runs.
Mental_Giant explains:
I think he meant a real week of cooldown. Meaning: no matter if you're a Vet who can polish off the content in one night, or a n00b who has to do it over several days, once you move one notch over (from Hero to Vigilante, for example), you can't proceed on the path to the other side until a week elapses.
