    new video card

    i know this kind of question comes up alot, but i need a little help from those more knowledgeable than i.

    i was going to get me a Radeon HD 5870 for around $300. when i was looking around today i found a Radeon HD 6850 for $200. they seem to me to be about the same, but i wanted to make sure.

    thanks for any help
  3. is anybody else having trouble with their pets? twice today my bots have been stuck. i can't get them to attack or come to me when i call them. i tried to summon them again in a different spot, thinking it was a temp glitch, no luck.

    i actually plan on taking my stalker to the good side just to get all the location badges. i want to take pictures at all of the hero statues and such. make it like i had snubbed my nose at all the goody two-shoes by infiltrating their world. then go back to my haven of darkness

    just a fun little project for me

    I hope the next hero con is close to cincy because I'd love to go. I'd love to meet the people behind my favorite game, share my thoughts and idea's in person.

    If any of you play Victory and wanna team my handle is Grave001 hook me up and well hurt some stuff.
    i'm waiting for the results for the mmorpg. kepping my fingers crossed for one of them mice.

    Seriously... One of my favorite early/low-level newbie moments was on my scrapper in Atlas Park chasing down that Hellion that tried to run away... Chasing him up the fire escape, onto a roof... onto another roof... until finally slamming him hard to the ground.

    Me... I love some of the fresh new adventures that spawn from things like the Physics stuff and them running away.
    I'm just surprised to see nearly everyone say how it is a major flaw within the game.
    If I was about to get my butt whooped by some Super... I might try and run too... And it can lead to some fun now and then.
    (Also, I like watching some foolish players chase them right into several other mobs, haha)
    Maybe we can all play the Ducks In A Barrel MMO coming out (Can I mention that on these forums? *smiles sweetly*)!!

    you aren't alone. i think it's a blast. and i love it when i run around the corner and there is an orange or red con sitting there. makes it more exciting.

That is, in general, simply not how copyright works. You can claim an implicit license up to a point, but it's surprisingly hard to transfer copyright no matter what anyone says.

    In any event, since I've created the same character in another MMO and CoH, they can go sue each other. :P
    i think it has to do with using the character for publicity. if he creates the character, and by some oddball chance it is used in, say a magazine, he wouldn't be able to say anything. if somebody else were to make it and they used it, he could sue for not getting his permission. or something along those lines

    No Rules Weekend

Heck yes!

    Again, it would only last for a weekend, heck, I'd settle for just 24 hours. I can't imagine it being too much of an imbalance, simply because it wouldnt be combined with double xp, just in it's own merit, and removing the target and aggro cap would just be a different way of conveying double xp, since missions would be finished in twice...err three times the amount of time.

    Anyways, standard code rant applies as to if it even can be done (which I'm sure it can, just don't know how easily). And besides, just because you have the option of taking on an entire map, doesn't mean you can.

    All in all, I've just been searching for ways to spice things up a bit in the CoX universe. This is what I got.
    they could do this on the test server so that it wouldn't impact the live. it would be fun to see, since i wasn't there in the beginning
  11. where on the boards do they post the code?

    also since its a digital download, how many times am i limited to downloading it? as many as needed? or just once?

    for obvious reasons that things can go wrong with a computer hard drive and loss of data.
    because a few others didn't realize, there is also the pre-order. you can preorder the game for $40. with it you get the items and one month of play time.

    with the pre-purchase, for $30, you get early access to the dual pistols and demon summoning at's, but not the goodies, and not the month of play.

    Sacred: Dedicated to or set apart for the worship of a deity.
    : Made or declared holy
    : Of or relating to religious objects, rites, or practices.


    so ya names in video games aren't sacred even if you decide to make the Pope himself.
    So like the pvp crowd and peeps on the forums the people that quit the game over a name are most likely a very vocal minority.

    –adjective

    1. devoted or dedicated to a deity or to some religious purpose; consecrated.

    2. entitled to veneration or religious respect by association with divinity or divine things; holy.

    3. pertaining to or connected with religion ( opposed to secular or profane): sacred music; sacred books.

    4. reverently dedicated to some person, purpose, or object: a morning hour sacred to study.

    5. regarded with reverence: the sacred memory of a dead hero.

    6. secured against violation, infringement, etc., as by reverence or sense of right: sacred oaths; sacred rights.

    7. properly immune from violence, interference, etc., as a person or office.


    Dictionary.com

    So yes by the complete definition of the word they can in fact be held sacred.
    oh my,that's just too good.

    well done forbin

    Reason I ask is because I was on an 8-man team earlier today and the leader insisted that we fight +0 council mobs. Imo, that's fine when you're trying to gauge the effectiveness of your PuG, but he kept it through every mission; and MAN was it boring. I think I stuck with the team for maybe 3 missions until I decided to leave and find another, but when I did quit, I just felt like...ugh. Anyways, that's just one of my buzzkills; don't get me started on rogue fire/kins.
    drives me crazy when the last guy i have to kill gets stuck in a wall. he's right there in front of me, but i can't hit him and i can't finish the mission.

Despite that, it was still closed by NCSoft who were unhappy with it's numbers.

    But hey, no way that could happen to YOU right?
    but people have been saying merge the servers here for the entire time i have been visiting these boards. i joined the boards in april of '08.

    the thing i find the funniest (not specifically from you smurch) is the the idea that forcing me onto a more populated server will make me team. if that is what i wanted then i would have moved there already.

    if what people are worried about is newbies seeing lots of people, make them start on freedom or virtue. then when they sign in again they will see that there are more server choices and, possibly, find out what the deal is.

You will probably only get to use it once per play session and you never know WHEN you should use it. By the time you DO use it, an even greater need for it arises a little while later, but you realize it too late. The limitations of the power are not divulged on the store website. In fact, here is a paste from the ONLY selling points of this feature: "Mission Teleporter Power - Players can save time and get right into the action by teleporting directly to their active mission." Save time? Once per play session I get to save a few minutes and zone loads for $9.99? It doesn't make sense.
    i can't complain. i knew it ws a 2hr recharge when i bought it. i also got a free month and costume sets so where the 10 bucks for just the one powere comes from is lost on me.

    this is as far as i got. anything you say after is useless when you decide you know me better than i do.

    i love the "smaller" servers. i have ONE character on freedom, simply because i wanted to see the home for the "rude tells" thread. if i wasn't happy on my other servers, i would have made many more on freedom and virtue

    you sir/madam, fail
  18. i love the new temp powers, i am actually bummed that i havn't gotten one in the last 10 or so hrs that i have played.

    so, devs, please increase the drop rate so that my toons can have all of the temp powers.

    thank you

  21. i just got netgear wireless router from comcast and i was wondering if there are any tips or tricks that i need to know to go wireless?

    that's not so. i used to think this as well, but that was because i had never met anybody that participated in these types of activities. i have since met a gentleman that does participate and we had discussion about it. he let me know that, yes there are people that enjoy the sexual aspect of it, but there are a lot of people that go to the same parties simply for the interaction with people that like to dress up like animals.

    now, you might be saying that as far as most of the people who aren't "furries" use that term to mean the sexual side, but i now know that in their community it doesn't.

    I consider myself a mixture of them all but one thing that i think is my main weakness is that when i see a temp power, i MUST have it. I tend to go through stages of trying to collect the temp powers, especially more lessen seen ones like the warwolf/nukes/event only temps.

    Does anybody else do this? Go through the game determined to get as many of the temp powers as possible, regardless of whether or not you'll actually use them?

    My name is damz and i am a temper!
    my 50 has every temp that he was given. like you, he has to collect them all (yes, i played the pokemon red and blue, and yes i DID have to collect them all. i was actually happy to have known all of them until the expansions) and i will do all i can to get him these new temps
