Scorns' Scrapper and Stalker Horrorscopes had me cracking up.

Personally I love the fact that you can choose what tab the Rikti alerts do and do not show up in. If only there was a way to keep them as System and turn them back to the red color.

I also think that using the Friends channel would be a great change. Highly underused channel in a very noticeable color.

Stop fooling around and face the facts: Get a new (real) video card(sm). 'Knowing' you need a new card is not the answer. Getting one... is. Hit www.Newegg.com and make it happen. Your new card is only a couple of clicks away.

PM me your paypal information and I'll get right on that. In the meantime, can anyone else provide any useful information on these problems?

Let me start off by saying yes I know I need to get a video card!

System:
Windows Vista 32bit Home Premium
Intel core 2 cpu 6300 @ 1.86 GHz
Intel(R) G965 Express Chipset Family
Vid driver version 7.14.10.1147

I am having 2 seperate graphics problems.

1) While playing (moving or standing still) I get walls and objects that will flash in and out of existance. Specific example: In the elevators in portal corp when I stand in front of them, they will flash out letting me see the inside of the vators. Occasionally walls will blink in and out letting me see the mobs standing behind them (the mobs never flash by the way).

2) once in a while when I have my enhancement screen open (only when this specific screen is open) all of the graphics will stop working and random seizure inducing rainbow colors will flash on my screen. I used to think the game froze but this is not the case as I have heard powers and such still going off in the background.

If there are newer driver for this card then my search-fu is off and I can't find them. Any advice and/or tips (other than get a new vid card. I know, I know) would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Along this line... What can you tell us about the various +Stealth IOs from the Travel Sets?

Specifically, can they be slotted in passive powers? If so, how is this going to interact with NPC hostages and such that won't interact with a stealthed character?

Currently:
<ul type="square">[*]They can be slotted into passive movement powers.[*]You can have one of each type on your character for some massive bonuses.[*]Escort NPCs will not follow you if these are slotted on your characters.[/list]
Now, before the uproar starts, I have to say that unless we find a satisfactory solution for the last item on the list, these IO's have a high probability of being cut before reaching the live servers. Even if that problem is solved, it is still unlikely that you will be able to slot all 4 versions in a single character -- either that, or the stealth aspect will be reduced greatly.

I have a question.

I currently play 2 /dark villians. On a few occasions when fighting in a mission, I'd pick up an ally upon reaching a certain point who would then assist in fighting mobs and/or clearing the mission. And this is while shadowfall is running, so clearly there is some type of +perception involved.

So, why can't escort NPCs behave in a similar manner? I would think this would be a thorn in the side particularly to stalkers, who rely on hide for much of their defenses. But if it is possible, that would obviously mean the problem cited in number 3 would be solved.

I may be wrong but it seems to me that any of the people that you rescue that can fight along side of you are able to follow you even with stealth on. All the ones that just run along/can't be attacked by enemies (Helpless citizen faction) seem to loose you when stealthed.
Has anyone else seen this sort of behavior?
