Actually, still seeing plenty of farming in PI - 8-man randomly-named teams moving in unison, that sorta thing. Moving to AP has just made the issue a little more visible.

If people want to enjoy the game that way, fine, so long as it doesn't wreck the in-game economy.

Which one though? Larry, Curly or Moe?

Ya big knucklehead.

Any chance we can have that queen of the catwalk, Sexeh Miss Jay and the ever fabulous War_Witch?

Gun Drone takes Ranged Damage sets - do Procs like Chance To Hold work with this pet?

Weren't CHAOS the lot Agent 69 had to tackle in Get Smart?

The unlockable French Maid mob Jay put in for kicks.

...seriously? No idea. The problem seems - to my untrained and uncivilised mind - to relate to summons, so it could be Maltesers (Titans and Gun Drones).

It helps make things more fun if whenever an NC rep says 'soon' a little voice in your head starts singing 'In the year 2525'...

Great, now I have an urge to watch Cleopatra 2525. Only for Victoria Pratt, you understand.

Oh holy smokes. I just looked this up... Gina Torres was in this? Girl, what are you doin' to yourself?

I saw him do that one live. I have never, ever, hurt so much from gutlaughing until I couldn't breathe. (Also, we had a random argument break out between some guy in the stalls and some guy in the gods about the Dolphins of Twoomerooma, resulting in Bill breaking down on stage, yelling "Curse you, Norwich! The audience that finally broke his will!")

Acer would be my recommendation for good value for money laptops too. Almost bought one 2 years ago but was won over by a Sony Vaio on special offer instead (Vaios are so pretty).

[/ QUOTE ]

They are. When I first got mine out of the case it was kind of like the black monolith moment from 2001. (Not the one with the monkeys.)

Happy Birthday

Can I second my learned friend's opinion? There's a certain joy when anyone says "WTHBBQ? You just threw a pool table/lamppost/car/priceless ming vase(delete as applicable) at that guy!"

I play Gravity/Storm, which is a pretty lethal combination - though it tends to annoy the herd-mentality tanks out there.

Also, I think the Bowling Ball of DOOM is one of the best 'troller pets - virtually indestructible, has good hold powers that complement your own for OVERPOWER damage, and - best of all - Auto-Repel, so if you stick close to it enemies and Stalkers will find it very hard to melee.

Anything NVidia based should be fine. Bear in mind, though, that this kind of laptop eats batteries for breakfast.

I'm playing COH on a Sony Vaio liberated into my care by a grateful manager, and it's more beautiful than ever. For those who value substance over style in these credit crunched times, I've always found ASUS laptops to be excellent value and readily available.

Here's the sort of spec I would recommend looking for:
<ul type="square"> [*]Intel Core2 Duo (T7200 or higher) or Core2 Extreme[*]At least 2GB memory[*]Decent-sized HD drive (but since you could put half the British Library on the average HD these days, this should not be an issue)[*]Graphics Card: the important bit. NVidia is the only way to go, and I'd recommend at least a 7 Series. Mine is a 7600GT. Make sure it has "dedicated" memory.[/list]If you were prepared to shell out two grand, the Asus G71V is a pretty spiffy contender: or you could halve your budget, get just about double my power (wah!) and go for the G50V...
<ul type="square"> [*] Core2 Duo P8400[*] 4GB RAM[*] NVidia 9700M GT (512mb dedicated on-board memory)[/list]Shop around, but should give you change from £1,000.

Much happy dayage of baked product goodness. Or something.

FFM: I could name one, but they haven't cleared my redundancy cheque yet

While on the subject of the new emotes, can I just say how much I love:

/em jugglemagic

(also comes as: /em jugglefire, /em juggleelectricity, and /em juggleballs. Also nice: /em cardtrick)

Ok, I'm seeing that their could be issues with actually buying the booster pack, is it server stress or something else?


[/ QUOTE ]

Avatea said it was latency - which generally means the time taken getting to and from the server, rather than problems with the server itself.

Suspect that large paddle Neko mentioned should be applied to their networking delivery partners... this has been a regular problem with CoH ever since I've been playing.

Sadly you can't simply murder these kind of minions any more and have them replaced instantly by six others begging to serve you.

But someone could at least drop a management Hammer Of Justice-language letter (not email, proper letter) on them. Disappointed in their effectiveness... full review of systems and processes... that sort of thing, make it sound as close to an invasive root canal/alien probe combination as possible without them being able to lawyer up.

I think there's a villain AT or two which may also appeal...

Oh puhleeze. Do you think I'd really go with vain, manipulative, psychotic and overbearing...

Sorry, wasn't thinking. Forget I said anything.

So the game is female . . . . . interesting . . . . . .

Playing a MMORPG, Damz, is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman. You wait until there's a quiet moment, charge in and start bashing away with your huge weapon, then keep at it until there's a sudden whoosh and all you can see is flashing light and sparks.

Then you go and visit a trainer.

...and this, kids, is why DW doesn't date Scrappers any more. Or Blasters (though they tend to pull aggro and wind up in the hospital if they attempt the same trick.)

With Defenders there's at least mutual buffing. And Controllers, now... much more interesting.

Actually... had a quick test on Lady Grace and it looks like having Broadsword drawn also stops the emote (although there is a pause before the costume redraw).

Not wanting to go through and check every weapon, but I think this needs to be fixed please - ...for the honour of Greyskull!

Also, anims only trigger if you use the menu thing, not a /cc command as far as I can see - which puts paid to thoughts of lovely scriptings

...incidentally, could some kind person point me in the direction of the costume change /emote triggers?

Menu - Costume option.

No keyboard shortcuts known yet. (if they even exist)

Thank you, Jay... thank you...

Not good idea, guys - new store AND new goodies pack on the same day, as well as starting to use IESnare?

[/ QUOTE ]


The "new store" has been up for at least 2 weeks now.

New one on me. Besides, my unsubstantiated opinion trumps your mere facts any day.

lol shame your up against another Aries :P

I live with another Aries too, honey, so I'm used to it.

OH, AND THEY'RE RIGHT AS WELL!

THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, BUT THEY'RE RIGHT!

I got a pink "an error has occurred" response but seems I may have been charged, as I've got a Purchase Receipt come through on my email. Not resubmitting.

EDIT:...aha. Logged out and logged back in again, and it told me I had 1 unused code. Have applied that to account. *crosses fingers*

Your skills are exceptional!
