Because you were also getting drops of enhancers and salvage as well.

Tickets are merely a more concentratable form of wealth drop.

No, it's called "ticket hording".

It's Twitter.

Uh huh.

Keep telling yourself that customer...

2x Posi. BAH!

2x Doc Q.

Okay, I lied about dropping my house on you. GIVE ME THE SLIPPERS ANYHOW!

If you pick up several right in a row via rapid-click, I doubt it. More than likely the system hasn't cleared the "random" value off and substituted a new one yet.

Team> BRB, new toy!

I take it the hard drive in question is dead? No backups to external disks or anything?

I *BLEEP!*ing hate you man.

But yeah, I've noticed that if you click rather rapidly on the "random" rolls, they ain't quite so random.

Made myself a pretty penny this way too.

Nice. I actually broke down and dropped merits for one to sell. I now have a VERY pimped out Stone/Fire.

Unfortunately, this move would have guaranteed that MA was a failure.

The only people who would use MA, a fairly major expansion of the game, on any sort of regular basis would have been a vanishingly small cadre of storytellers looking to put up something. Nobody would really be playing it much outside of them. It would have been the new PVP.

Here's what I see wrong with the idea. It could be abused terribly.

What about people with the mission teleporter?

Have a high level character log in a secondary account on a new toon standing in Outbreak. Make sure the new toon has the final door mission.

Team up, and the high level character teleports in and runs to the free tailor.

I dunno about that. You SURE you want to try to PVP against someone with a power loadout that looks like this?

Or this?

Or even this?

I'm sure that fighting them, if they're completely out of practice might result in a few dev-kills. But...

Don't make me hurt you...

It's a Mac. Think different!

Technically, you don't need the .old stuff. You can kill it. It's just there in case you wanted to recovery any files from the old Windows directory.

<Mr. Burns>Excellent.</Mr. Burns>

You need actual INSTALL disks.
What you usually get with most consumer computers nowadays are OEM system restore disks. They don't "fix" anything. They simply blast whatever's on the hard drive and overlay a clean, sysprepped image of the operating system.

As for whoever is punching negative rep. Ignore it. Rep is a silly, stupid little sub-game for most in these forums. It has very little to do with whether or not the things you post about are worthwhile. Moreover, some children think that negative rep is somehow punitive. So, when they want to tell someone they don't like them, but don't have the cojones or the loquaciousness (or both) to actually POST something to that effect, with their name on it and everything), they leave you an anonymous negative rep.

Get yourself a compiler and start writing code.

In short, someone has to want to develop for a given platform.

The paucity of third-party add-ins and supplemental programs for Mac are a function of the small market that Mac represents in the community. The newness of the native Mac client is largely irrelevant, as you were able to obtain CoH on a Mac via other means (Parallels, BootCamp, VMWare, etc) prior to this. Nobody developed the supplemental tools then either.

Therefore, if nobody has the desire to provide you with the tools you want, the onus falls upon you to provide the tools for yourself. If you have the capability but not the desire, there are entitlement issues that need to be worked out.

If you are simply technically incapable of providing it yourself, it's a "sucks to be you" situation. And you have three choices.

1. Wait (indefinitely) for someone to provide the tools you want.
2. Pay someone to build the tools for you.
3. Get a copy of Windows and dual-boot/virtualize, then run the Wintel apps you want.

If this comes across as unsatisfactory, crass, crude or rude I apologize (but not very profusely). Software development is not simply a matter of some guy spending a day or two shackled to a computer and popping out a complex program at will. And there are myriad factors to availability of specific packages at play.

Here's how to do it with a full install version.

Here's how to do it with an upgrade version.

Essentially, when you get to the section where it specifies drive location (not drive letter), you get an option to delete the partition on the drive.

No, it won't do it automatically.

Yes, you could use something else to wipe the partition and then install clean. But it's not necessary.

Proof? Maybe not. The devs claim that subscription rates have climbed.
You can argue with them about whether or not it's true.

I am Jack's smug sense of "beat you to the joke already".
