  1. Thanks folks, your suggestions seemed to help a great deal. I can play again!

    The thing that bugged me though was until recently, I could run with my higher settings.

    Hmmmm..I hope my machine isn't failing.
  2. I hope this helps. Thanks for your time

  5. I just upgraded my Nvidia drivers, and now I 've noticed that when I play now, my framerate is very slow, almost unplayable.
    It appears in the character selection screen as well.

    Does anyone have any solutions to this problem. I'd like to play the game like I used to!

    Thanks for your time!
  6. Aye, just tried to log in on virtue. I got as far as seeing my brute at an open door, then nothing else. UGH.

    Looks like I'll have to clean the apartment anyways instead of putting it off.
  7. Hello everyone,

    I've recently rolled up a Dark melee/Ninjitsu stalker, and I have a quick question for those that are familiar with the ninjitsu set.

    Which do you prefer in a battle, Smoke flash or Blinding powder?

    I mainly PvE, if that helps any.

    Thanks for your time!

    -Doc-
  8. I've seen this done time and time again, and it ALWAYS gets me angry.
    Are people actually THAT lazy that they can't be bothered to do something fun?
    Playing the game for instance? Arrrgh!

    You're very right to kick that type o' player. 1 star them too with the note
    "Lazy Git" ;-)

    Infernally yours,
    -Morbrelach-

    PS: This was in response to Xalaqia's post ;-)
  9. Thank you very much for your informative reply!

    I understand the usefulness of Mass C now (With speed of defeating mobs and moving on to the next
    making up for any exp loss from mobs duking it out against themselves).

    As I solo alot, this seems a viable way to go for me.

    I'm keen to try this. I'm actually kinda looking forward to I5 now
  10. A VERY intruiging build! I have two quick questions though.
    Having never really run a Mind controller, is Mass Confusion really all it's cracked up to be?

    I've heard good and bad about it, and would like your opinion.

    Also, I think I'll be running the Mind/Rad variant, and if Mass C isn't all that great,
    would Lingering Radiation from the rad secondary be a suitable replacement?

    Thanks for your time and patience. :-)
