kind of sad they are going to it....but go figure.

Here are Tips for everyone using this Launcher until these issues get resolved:

1: When you load your game go back and shut the launcher down...it consumes bandwidth and stays running when its not needed.

2: Make sure this launcher is terminated when you stop playing....as this one tends to eat bandwidth while its running in the background....no it doesnt always update but will transfer information like it is....and it doesnt matter if you have the box clicked to say you want to share info or not.

Alas, and sadly, it does prove how incapable a lot of you are at being sociable.

If it is, in fact, awarded to ALL characters on the account after only 1 logs in, then I think the message needs to be made clearer... @_@

It really needs to be made Global, like Booster Auras.

I am not allowed to use gaming as an excuse to not help bring in the groceries, answer the phone while she is in the bathroom or cooking, or impromptu snuggling if she had a bad day. On the other hand, she is not allowed to make me feel guilty for wasting my free time in the fashion I choose.

So far so good.

Plus, if I recall correctly, the loader better handles downloading and installing updates. And if you have other NCsoft games, you launch them all from the same utility. It seems to me that these are all good things, not bad. (Well, except the number of clicks, which comes out in the wash.)

One feature I'd like to see them add is a context menu on the system tray icon that would let you launch a game directly from the icon. Right now, it just has Open and Exit. It should also have City of Heroes, City of Heroes Test, and any other NCsoft games you have installed, so that you don't even have to hit the launcher icon to play.

The thing about pads and their ability to use the screen as the input device is that it gives developers the ability to design applications without the need to stick with the boring old desktop / pointer / keyboard set-up of yore. The single biggest mistake Microsoft made with Tablets was trying to force a Windows style interface / desktop onto it. It simply doesn't work.

The tablet computer market was a joke before Apple introduced the iPad. Now there are slews of imitators lined up to jump into the market with comparable products. If you don't grasp how a tablet computer like an iPad can be useful, fine. However that doesn't have any bearing on their actual utility.

At some point it goes up to 400 damage per tick and it's much harder to stand still.

you are what you are; your powersets would give you an optional choice to be naturally resistant to the damage type you deal.

it's optional, it's extra, it doesn't require that everybody has equal stats for balance because it is extra.

it might make the game easier for some, but it wont make the game any harder for others.
