  1. There's no code to make the foreground run faster. There is a setting to make the background use up less processing power: MaxInactiveFps
  2. Some people showed interest, but nobody signed up

    Well, you get a boost for dead teammates, too.
  4. Most praetorians don't have the same name

    Statesman -- Tyrant
    Ms. Liberty -- Dominatrix
    Manticore -- Chimera
    Positron -- Anti-Matter
    Numina -- Diabolique

    Sure, there's a couple, but Infernal's from another dimension anyway, and Malaise goes rogue every week

    No, other MMOs suck because your contact tells you to gather 20 dog livers, and you have to go kill 40 dogs who apparently don't have livers before you can complete the quest. We have hunt missions, they have liverless dog quests

    (I'm not saying there's no room for improvement, I'm just saying there's a big difference.)

    Ah, I misunderstood. I apologize.

    Hmm, I would assume the various popup menus in the UI are defined similarly to the QuickChat menu. So, (in theory) /popmenu name] would open the same menu under your current mouse location. If you could figure out the correct name, you could modify the popup menu yourself, sans mnemonic.

    I don't know for certain that it would work, nor what the names are, but it's a possibility. It's more complicated than a simple menu option, but something is better than nothing, eh?

    The sad reality of this forum is that the best ideas which need the least polishing drop to the bottom because nobody has anything else to add. The terrible ideas erupt into flamewars and the ideas which need fine tuning get the number crunchers to argue over a 0.027% difference.

    If your friend has found a location where he believes there are multiple Day Jobs awarding, he should file a /bug report and then keep quiet if he's looking to get Bug Hunter. You're unlikely to get Bug Hunter by telling everyone about the bug, and asking the devs to give it to you will make them not want to
  13. The following costume change emotes don't need any booster pack:

    CCBackflip


    CCSalute


    CCHowl


    CCEvilLaugh


    Other animated emotes can be found on Paragonwiki at the Emotes page.

    Scaleable Hair?

    Possible? Absolutely. I've no idea how hard it would be to add the functionality, but definitely "possible".

    The real question you shouild ask is whether JLove would sign off on such a thing, considering how easy it would be to cause clipping issues. Perhaps, however, if the current state of the hair models were treated as the maximum length, and then the slider were to allow you to shorten it? It seems to me that would drastically reduce the possibility of clipping.

    That's true of every single resistance debuff in the game. While I agree that this version of MA isn't particularly good, this is not a valid complaint. Especially since -X% resistance -- even with the target resisting the debuff -- will increase the damage output against the target for each member of your team by exactly X%.

    Why?

    Why do our pop-up menus have hotkeys - and more importantly, why are these hotkeys so commonly clustered around the keys the game defaults for movement in the WASD style?
    Let's see... default window toggle keys:
    T: Target window
    C: Chat window
    N: Navigator window

    I can't think of any others in the default keybinds, and the only one that's close to WASD is C, a slip of the finger away from D. And all it does is hide the chat window; pressing C again brings it back. You're also free to change the binding on those keys, and you don't even need to know the /bind command to do it - simply look under "Options".

    Oh, and neither E nor D do anything with windows. E is "+turn_right" and D is "+right".


    As for "why?" It's to allow you the freedom to hide unimportant parts of your UI while you're trying to fight.
  17. Masterminds. I can fight while I fiddle with a glowie, I can abosrob alpha strikes better than most anyone else, and I can take care of ambushes while I'm AFK.

    Oh, and I'm a force multiplier, too.

    I think you mean "geocentrism", which didn't so much die as get transferred to a personality state in which one is convinced the world revolves around them.
    Heliocentrism isn't just that the Earth revolves around the sun, but that the sun is the center of the entire universe.
