  1. The most annoying people I know are out of game... except Bobitron.
  2. Why would you ever want a quickly recharging, no crash god mode on a character that can regen to full in like 15 seconds...?
  3. Soooo grateful for the fix to priority settings. Streaming music makes things much more enjoyable for me, and as I had kinda guessed, fixing that cleared up the ridiculously common map server alerts, and high (1500+) ping times. However, with the new patch, my frames per sec have gone from roughly 30 average, to 10-15... :/ I'll take that over the lag any day, but it would be *lovely* to have both.

    Cho!

    Omg, I heard that song at the start of a 3 hour car drive today, and it was in my head the /whole/ rest of the way, and for another 2 hour drive after that

    I think I like that version better >.>
  5. I would /love/ to do Zerg raids more. I know we've done them once or twice at least before, and I had a blast. Getting nukes (or Shivans) isn't /that/ hard OR time consuming, and it isn't like there isn't a smaller "core" player group coming to hami raids that do more than most already.

And you can hit 5 quite often after practice when you have lots of enemies in the cone.

    Having practiced with Shadow Maul by taking a DM scrapper to 50 in i9/i10 when it took months to level also helped me a lot on my squishies on the lower levels after I got sands of mu, and also made me make good use of Jacob's Ladder from ELM.
    I love you.

    Er, I mean, I agree with that.
  7. I think this *might* be related... I'm not real sure, but I /always/ stream music when I play, typically from Pandora, but also often enough from Youtube playlists. As of i17, things are.... weird. Spikes and lags and weird pauses and jitters. The game itself has been pretty laggy, 500-1500 ping very regularly, from what was rarely over 150 before, maybe the game's spikes are affecting BW usage elsewhere as well?

    EDIT: and come to think of it, it might be more than just internet bandwidth, because even if I preload the song on youtube, play it through, and then load the game, I can still run into audio jitters and pauses if I replay it, though, a lot fewer of them.

    Definitely will do
  9. Hello Mr Bill We talked the other night You coulda asked on the SG boards too, ya know?

    I'm surprised to see no shadow maul, but even moreso to see no Dark Consumption, when you're having end issues? I like the set bonuses on Eff Adapt. but if you're having end issues, you'd be better off putting the Performance Shifter's proc into QR/Stamina/PP, each one works out to roughly .2 end/sec average, IIRC, and you have room for 3 (and would free up a lot of slots).

    Also, you can get more S/L defense (which looks like (and should be) a primary goal) by swapping the ToDs to Kinetic Combats. With 2 spare slots left on each power, you can keep a damage proc, and grab a 3 or 4 aspect IO from another set to round out the enhancement bonuses (I usually use the acc/dam/end/rech from Mako's).

    You're also *much* over the ED cap on Fast Healing; while I wouldn't say change the sets in there if those are what you're after, I will point out you can get much cheaper pieces of those sets (except for the uniques) and still keep it ED capped for heal.

    I also do not know if you have updated your Mids, but as of I17, the heal uniques are no longer affected by heal (or end) slotting in the power, so your regen may be roughly 40-45% lower than you're expecting.

    You shouldn't need the KB prot IO in SJ as well... PvPing? Maybe tanking Hamidon? Otherwise you'll be fine with just IW, and would probably appreciate some speed, or speed/end in there.
  10. I've had a really high ping (500-1500) off and on since i17 launched, and my game implodes on itself if I try to change most the ultra options. I've noticed that occasional screen flicker as well, Mari, it's annoying but not critical really. No crashes though (aside from changing ultra settings), and I've used the market plenty.
  11. Reading is for chumps.... Nothing to see here. Carry on Lite.
  12. Speaking of slow retards, I'm getting the impression I'm the only one here who has /no clue/ what everyone is talking about...

    Grats on the nice art though

    A 3 hour raid? A 3 hour raid?

    Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
    A tale of a fateful raid
    That started from this lonely rock
    With nobody afraid.

    The teams were a mighty raiding group,
    The leader much had played.
    Five pick up groups buffed that day
    For a three hour raid, a three hour raid.

    The weather started getting rough,
    The fire tank was tossed,
    If not for the courage of the fearless kin
    The hami would be lost, the hami would be lost.

    The team set down on the edge of this uncharted desert hive
    With Pumbumbler
    The Kilspyke too,
    The Megumi and the leech,
    The music star
    The catgirl Boo and Maribelle,
    Here on Pumbumbler's Hive.


    So this is the tale of the pug raiders,
    They're there for a long, long time,
    They had to make the best of things,
    It was an uphill climb.

    The green team and the yellow too,
    Will do their very best,
    To make the others comfortable,
    In the devoured Earth nest.

    No cold, no rads no empathy,
    Not a single luxury,
    Like newbie States TFs,
    As unbuffed as can be.

    So join us here each week my friends,
    You're sure to take a dive,
    From seven untaunted mitos,
    Here in "Pumbumbler's Hive."

    Hehe, I walked up to them expecting them to attack... they didn't, so I kept walking... expecting something to happen when I got to the door or something... and it didn't... and I went in. And I instantly thought, "Wait. They didnt attack me, but I can steal beat the hell out of them" and reloaded.... Cause it's so dang fun to scrap through a large mob.
  20. I would, but I don't have anything plant/, so GL to you all
  21. I dunno which thread to reply in, but this one was posted on the correct day (I'm assuming...) so, Happy Birthday Megumato!
  22. It'd be nice to have the real thread(s) back

    One of these days I'll get back to finishing out the last bit of B:AA... took too many breaks and need to relearn it each time I start, 'cept I usually break off at a big fight/boss fight, and so stepping back in at those points isn't very forgiving...
