Limey here.
Peeeeels here.
I am debating this. I am. You scoundrels.
But of course I may be wounded by crappy work schedules. As 9 ESt is about.... 2 am for me. -
Damn, was pipped to the post for mentioning Dinoriders.
Dinosaurs. With lasers.
That is all. -
-
Oh fine. I fold.
After being told off by a certain person here who's name rhymes with Tegan I shall leave...
This cake.
*Leaves a badly drawn picture of a cake and some crumbs* -
Quote:So...your pet peeve is the fact that people alt?As it says what is your pet peeves, when it pertains to roleplaying? As for me it is people that say in their description so and so character is same as another character, nothing personal just I consider it metagaming and ignore these people. Next poster your turn go..
Hot damn, that's hilarious.
Fun fact - people alt. People RP the traits of one alt being pretty much the same as another, just a different variant. Things such as weapon mastery, pyrokinesis, cryokinesis, dimensional warping, magic etc. It tends to make sense. Now if someone jumps from a completely different set of powers to another without any reason? Then you may have a point. But power customization has gone one hell of a distance for that. -
Ara gets nothing from me.
Not a thing.
Nope.
This thread is trolled now. -
The concept of blacklisting from SGs etc. is hilarious.
Me? I just one-star and use them as vengeance bait later on but that won't stop me running with them just because their there, will it? -
I am Flea. I've been here since launch, only missed 3 months due to crappy computer issues and moving house with my ex.
Essentially I am the Scrapper. I can do broken things with a scrapper. I tank with a SR.
I also will do broken things with my Stalker once I IO it out.
In short, I am short, nasty, aggressive and the best damn scrapper you will find.
Srsly. -
I am not flooding this with pink.
Or fluffy.
Or sugary.
Or sweet.
But I am being genuine enough here.
Happy birthday to an incredible woman who is one of the few people I truly consider a friend. Thank you for far too much to even bother listing here and thank you for being you. -
Quote:Where I come from the cab stops at the traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, long lines of traffic....Someone running into traffic to knock on the window of a moving cab is comparable to someone sending you a tell? Really?
And of course, most cab drivers try to run the clock up just a little bit for a bit more money. Easier when people are drunk and out of it so that they won't really notice.
This situation, of the random tell to the person who is a good 7 out of 8 times NOT the team leader is the equivalent of cold calling.
Do you like to be called by complete strangers? If you do, good for you.
To each their own but inviting yourself along to anything being done by people who really do not know you is downright rude in any situation you can construct. Bear in mind, asking if you can join a team -while stood next to said team- is a different situation from sending out a tell to just about everyone on your search window, which is what most people do.
Please bear in mind that not only is the search window color co-ordinated with different icons for different types of team searches but people also can put messages in their search comments. If you're not bothering to read those when it says 'When I want a team, I will be looking for one' then it really doesn't paint you in a good light.
What can you offer me in a team if you cannot grasp basic reading comprehension? -
A group of you and your friends get into a taxi you hired at the end of a good night out. The taxi is just right. Not too full, comfortable and has a good atmosphere.
At every set of lights someone you don't know phones you or knocks on the window and asks if they can get in.
It's not just rude.
It's annoying. I don't know who you are. As far as I am concerned my team has the right amount of people and the right balance for what I want. We do not -need- you. If we did, we'd be sending YOU the tell. -
Quote:Also, since I17, IN-GAME, when I press CTRL+ESC to pull up the windows Start Menu (to access the task tray, or start other programs) it takes FOREVER... from 30 seconds up to 2 minutes!! Normally it comes up instantly. I have a feeling this has some relevance.
Ah, I was beginning to suspect it's me but it isn't. I too have been having insane delay's when alting to other windows or menus, so I suspect this may be a linked issue.
Summary Time
Input Delay/Lag
For ATI cards: Run services.msc, disable the ATI Hotkey Poller.
For others: Get as much data as you can, logs, scans, the works and send them in to support - sorry guys.
Ventrilo/Teamspeak/Skype issues
Change the priority of the program to AboveAverage or High. Note that with this you will have to do it each and EVERY time you load the program up for it work. Particularly annoying with Ventrilo. -
Yep. That's exactly what fixes the in-game input lag, disabling that service...
But it does nothing with the Ventrilo and Skype issues currently being experienced. I know they're third party but I'm posting here to see if our collective hivemind has already solved this or can solve this wonderful issue.
The Symptoms, for those not sure.
Ventrilo
*Erratic Ping Spikes - going from 'normal' (for me, 131-132) to an obscene amount (186000 at one point) on a regular basis, during which you can't really speak or do anything. This is often accompanied by some sort of error message about the input device transmitting too quickly, recommending using DirectSound (which I already am, go figure.)
Skype
*Calls drop after a couple of minutes on a persistant basis. Sometimes you hear a 'sound loop' of transmission before it dies.
LEt me know folks. I've had one report saying TS3 seems to be fine. -
Update - Skype's dropping every other minute on calls as well.
So that's Skype and Ventrilo bugged with I17.
Anyone got Teamspeak status? -
Alright folks. Figured I'd post this up here to help people out who didn't get a full chance to see the Beta forums.
I17 has brought with it severe input delay of several seconds, where you either don't or keep doing something several seconds behind. Now a fix for this that seems to have worked was running services.msc and disabling any keylogger that was running (in my case ATI Hotkey Poller). This fixes up the input delay somewhat...
However something unrelated appears to have cropped up.
As some of you may be aware, people often use Ventrilo as a 'voice chat' of sorts in game. This was quite common with the various PvP SGs as well as a number of others. Now since I17 (and this was happening on Test) the Vent server gets very bizarre spikes of ping which makes it almost unusable. This is followed up with error messages about input being too high and disabling the input device.
Now one suggestion is that the new ambient sounds could be affecting this...but considering the fact I have my sounds all turned off...I think not. I suspect it might be linked to the issue with the input delay...
Anyone else having similar problems with Ventrilo? Any fixes? I know it's third party but I figure may as well ask where it's happening. -
When life gives you lemons...
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! -

Honest to god question....
How has a person like this gotten into a situation where they can spend your VG's prestige? -
Quote:It was actually in the cemetary. Don't ask what the type of building is. I think mausoleum is the term.Watch the old Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode where she hooks up with Spike in that abandoned house (or whatever it was, memory's fuzzy!
).
Errr anyway, carry on!
And I know this because I watched it. For the nubile females of the teenage variety performing kicks and flips and ****. -
Of course we all fail to notice. But it's been quiet recently so hopefully there may be infusions of life in due time.
There was The Orphans but they are not so much 'villainous' as rebellious. If going for solid, malicious cruelty and evil then to be honest look for a non-teen themed VG. They tend to be more rebels than downright villains. -
Oh damn. I stop paying attention for a week and I miss a dramastorm. Woo.

I am @The Flea.
Let me sum this up. I am Flea. I came here from Victory a long while back and haven't left since. (Fun fact, I came to play on Virtue as stress/anger/depression therapy from when my ex ended the engagement.)
I am aggressive. I am tempermental. I am sarcastic. I am the best gods damned SR you will ever come across and know it. (Fun Fact - Flea Mark Tempest can tank Reichsman.) I am also a RPer and have quite happily taken over Virtue's 'Lethal Protector' niche. And for those of you who want to hate on old-school Eddie Brock - pfffft. Shoo.
