[EDIT: It has come to my attention that Beta information is not to be shared outside of the Beta forums. Therefore, I am doing away with this post. :x]

Well no, but let's just say I did. ;P

Lazarillo - Not where I sourced it, but I've just found out about that.

By the by, for those folk who are curious, the "unconfirmed" available models for Titan Weapons are as follows:

Still down as of 0245 EST.

EDIT: Gar. I has the rabies.

The one plus of losing my job is that by the time Titan Weapons drops I might still be unemployed so I can level like a maniac. XD Shooting for 50 in two days, missions only, no TFs or farms. Beam Rifle Blaster got there in 6 days, Street Justice in 4. Next... TITAN WEAPOOOONS!

Wow, I'm late to this party.

Very nice guide, man.

I personally love the crap out of Dual Pistols. I waited for it for many years and now that I have it I have to say it's almost exactly what I wanted. I couldn't be happier with it. The animations, the damage, the versatility, I'm happy with every part of this power set and I like to think I use it extremely well on my DP/En Blaster.

There's one thing I wanted to tag in here, for the 'numbers crazy:' Piercing Rounds needs some balance work because as of right now it does not appreciably increase DPS whether or not an ammo power is applied. I find it extremely useful as a long-range attack in conjunction with Boost Range and a 'moment of opportunity' AOE [given its straight-line configuration] but come I19 it will probably become the only Dual Pistols power I will not take. It shares the same range as Bullet Rain, and while the latter does considerably less damage the animation time is quite a bit shorter and it is a radius AOE which ensures you will hit more than one target every time [where one is available]. For those who are insane like me and do weird things like fire powers off on the move, Piercing Rounds runs an inherent risk of missing AOE targets due to your movement shifting your angle of attack, whereas Bullet Rain is more or less guaranteed to strike what you're aiming at.

Here are the numbers [for the record, I didn't come up with these, Red did]:

[Incendiary] Pistols -> Dual Wield -> Pistols -> Executioner's Shot = 0.933 DPS and 2.55 EPS

[No Ammo] Piercing Rounds -> [Incendiary Ammo] -> Pistols -> Dual Wield -> Pistols -> Executioner's Shot = 0.904 DPS and 2.805 EPS

[Incendiary] Piercing Rounds -> Pistols -> Dual Wield -> Pistols -> Executioner's Shot = 0.933 DPS and 3.035 EPS

Because they wouldn't give me Dual Pistols for Scrappers.

I've forgotten how to link an image into a message. That's how long it's been since I've frequented the messaged boards. ;_;

Hey guys,

I'm experiencing some major intermittent lag with general high latency after the patch on 10/5/2010. I'm operating at an average of 150-350ms ping with spikes up to 500-800 at fairly regular intervals. I have never, at any point since 2004, experienced technical issues with City of Heroes, so this is all brand new to me. :O

I've scanned my computer for malware and viruses, diagnosed my internet connection to see if anything was piggybacking off my line, defragmented my hard drives, and played with my graphics options - but the lag strikes even when I'm just running around solo in an instanced mission, and not necessarily when there are a lot of powers flying around.

My girlfriend and I share the same connection through a router and her computer is experiencing no issues after the patch, so I figure that's a good reason to rule out my ISP.

Interestingly, when I pull up my Netgraph, the entire thing is shot through with red lines at regular intervals. I've never seen anything like this before and have no idea what it could mean -- if anyone could provide and help/advice/knowledge on the matter I would be greatly appreciative.

The following is a link to a screenshot of my netgraph, seeing as I seem to have forgotten how to put images in. >_>

Ah!

It was either updating her video card drivers or restarting which fixed it.

Hooray!

Riley - Try updating your video card drivers? >_>; It seems ridiculous, but it was the most common suggestion for a fix (with verified results).

Hey there,

My girlfriend and I were playing City last night. She was at work all day and I didn't touch her computer, but suddenly her machine just opens up the launcher and doesn't do anything - it just shows "Connecting #1..." without loading up the news or any images; the launcher background remains black. My computer connected, downloaded the patch, and applied it without a problem.

I'm in the process of trying to troubleshoot this (opened up ports that weren't previously defined on our shared router, updating her video card drivers, etc.) but I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem?

What's weird about it is the fact that my computer can connect and hers can't. What could possibly be causing this?
