  1. Yes, please sigh and roll your eyes all the while YOU don't realize I DID EXACTLY WHAT THEY REQUESTED.

    I cut and pasted the EXACT QUESTIONS INTO THE SPACE THEY SAID THE FIRST TIME.

    You then make the assumption its MY fault. No I can and do follow the instructions - EXACTLY.

    I am not going to repeatedly send the information when they have the freaking email in the EXACT format they requested. So, yes blame me for deleting my emails without notice and then not being able to roll it back and leaving it all up to the CUSTOMERS to tell you what you did wrong.

    It never occurred to you the same people that hosed up our emails may also hose up the responce?

    No, I have seen so many people blame us the gamers for the issues that are in this game and yet not once over the years when it was FIXED by a later update have I seen the apologists go back and give an apology - to the gamer.

    No pile on and blame me. You make an assumption I did not follow the instructions - I DID.
  2. This is the last email I got from them and yes, I had cut and pasted the reply EXACTLY as they said - here they have my email and yet they tell me they can't read it.

    I give up.

    -When did you send the e-mail messages that you're reporting?
    The Wednesday morning they did the rollback

    -Were these e-mails that were already being stored at the time of the server maintenance or were they sent the same morning?
    They were sent that morning from character Onyx Thorne
    -What characters were you last online with just prior to the 11/18 server maintenance, and about what time?
    Onyx Thorne

    The IO's were 5 level 21 Kinetic Combat and 10 million influence

    You'd need to buy a Netstor NA220A External PCI-E Card Dock, and connect it up to your laptop's ExpressCard slot. THEN you'd need to buy a PCI-E graphics card to put in it. The Dock alone will set you back about £300-£350, so realistically you'd probably be better off buying a new (desktop) system.

    Trouble is the PCIe slot is only equal to 1x PCIe and so it limits the throughput of the graphics card. What is needed is an external graphics slot set on the bottom of the laptop dedicated to high bandwidth. Then I would create a pad similar to a laptop cooler with an additional graphics card that would dock to this slot and would lock the laptop in.

    This is the solution.

    MSI article

    Asus Article

    I know I wanted one of these for ages - I would actually buy a laptop - you know I am a geek, perhaps I will work on making one!
  5. I sent petitions in and explained exactly which character and what exact IO's I had sent along with how much influence I lost and never got a single thing back.

    Anyone else less than happy with the whole email debacle?

    Or did you get everything back and no problem?
  6. Why did I give up on AE?

    Easy, I wrote 2 arcs that were repeatedly rated 5 stars.

    A Princess of Mars

    Heavy Metal - The most Freakshow ever seen

    Then the anti 5 star brigade rated them into 3 star oblivion. I gave up and never went back. I intend to never return. When something is 5 starred you get play - when it is 3 starred you don't.
  7. Oh, that's just the NASCAR mod!

    Just create a charcter named Earnhardt.
  8. Yes, then let's get a gear score for your IO/SO's used.

    Then we can kick people saying GS under 3500 need not apply and DPS under xxx isn't wanted.
  9. I have done a 22 minute ITF.

    I would be happy to help you complete one if you like.

    To do a speed ITF:

    1. Damage and debuffs
    2. Minimum number to do it
    3. Speed past everything to reach the goals only don't fight when you don't need to
    4. Crystals take them all down and ignore all mobs and ambushes
    5. Jump to computer and AV's to start and do both AV's and the computer at once
    6. go down the hill defeating generals as you go
    7. Pull Rom onto the platform defeating all at one time and all incoming ambushes.

    Now you can tell only some select characters can survive this. The crystals don't leave the entry way if you can't solo the crystal and mobs near it. Done right with the right characters - 6 crystals at a time are all solo'ed at once. I do this with my fire/Dark corr and 8 purples and I can cruise thru with no problem.
  10. Howling Twilight.

    Take a large group pull them to a corner with Darkest Night, Drop Tarpit, fear them and them stun all the minions and make all the Bosses and Lts try to run through molasses while they all die and no one on your team gets hurt.

    Had a tank quit the team because they had 3 groups wipes fighting Carnies, I joined the team and no one died and we started steam rolling. When he quit we picked up another blaster

    Howling Twight is one of the best debuffs, slows and stuns that can even rez that teammate who jumped in prior to you using it
  11. Fire Tanks.

    In the past this is what I HAD to take:

    Fire shield
    Plasma shield
    Boxing
    Tough
    Weave
    Combat jump
    Super jump
    Acrobatics
    Swift
    Health
    Stamina
    Blazing aura (you have to be able to attack something!)
    Scorch
    Taunt
    Burn
    Healing flames

    Now this puts you into your 30's before you are really a tank.

    Now I just built one like this:
    Fire shield - with I extra slot for Steadfast knockback
    Plasma shield
    Tough
    Weave
    Burn
    Taunt
    Speed speed
    Blazing aura
    Consume
    Healing flames

    I am only 24 and now I can save getting 6 powers! It is a HUGE boost to make me a real tank in my 20's.
  12. Here is the second best advice - if you are in a team and not having fun - quit. Say sorry folks that's it for me and drop out.

    It is your time and your FUN.

    Now the other day we had a terrible mess trying to take down an AV in a tf with only 3 of us left and 3 people who dropped and yet didn't quit. We died many times and got to the AV and could not kill him. So we quit but it was still fun!
  13. If you liked the Dark/Dark then you need to try a Fire/Dark corruptor.

    It is nearly game breaking.

    Duo Advice

    Oh man, Electric Control/TA support - I have one and it flat out rocks.
  15. Infernus_Hades

    Duo Advice

    Bots/FF mastermind!

    Both start in Gold side
  16. Fast thinking and yet capable of incredible feats of heroism?

    Ice/Storm controller.

    You have so many tools that can either help control the enemy or cause your team serious chaos that it is a great AT for the thinking man/woman.
  17. try a Fire/Electric melee tank - I have mine to 15 after one day! The new Stamina at lower levels lets you be a powerhouse!
  18. I love fire tankers. My first 40 then 50 was a Fire/Fire tank and they have been my favorites for a long time even if they are squishie for a tank.

    However the building of an actual tank and not a slightly tougher scrapper for over 30 levels is a bit daunting as I have pondered a new character. That has all changed, now I can get Tough and 14 and Weave at 20.

    I can get Burn at 18 and not sacrifice attack chains to survive. With IO's for Knockback I can skip Acrobatics, Combat Jump and Super Jump. What a difference it made in how I felt at rolling a brand spanking new Fire tank for the first time in many years.

    I looked at the powers and when I get to take them and it made me smile as I walked my new level 1 Fire tank up those Atlas stairs last night. Thank you, I missed playing a new baby fire tank and now he can be a real tank in his early 20's not in his mid-30's!

    Updater Issue

    I also after 6 years of being fine had my updater fail and crash the game. Now I must re-install the game completely and since I have a 5 gb cap on my service i am going to have to head out to a local internet cafe and load it onto a USB drive with my laptop.

    I had the pre-load work perfectly but this last patch broke the game for me. So instead of enjoying new stuff, I am stuck for hours downloading again. This game has been a mess since Issue 17 for me as I get random lag and lockups and now this pain in the butt.

    Second two times when I had to shift down to smalls it got worse even though I used more insp.

    At this point tried to team, got a heroic brute and couldnt get in, tried again got squishie teamates but never got past 4 people because people kept running off to drop it and start incarnate.

    Then I got frustrated and dropped also since this is what was being said on BC.
    I assume you are level 50, so I would take 6 purples - 4 or 5 reds and 2 break frees. In MANY EB fights you require a tactic to defeat them. I have solo'd some EB's on my blaster that I just used brute force and ignorance - popped 6 reds and nuked them down. The others require difference attempts. I am sorry 2 purples and one BF didn't do it.

    AE Power Combos

    You know what I did as a challenge?

    I greated characters with ZERO status effects in an arc. I created the Green Martians of Edgar Rice Burroughs. I made them quite tough as befits a warrior, had them hit fairly hard and then I posted the Arc and had a number of people run it - THEY LOVED IT.

    It was very stiff competition, none of the groups could be defeated in a steam roller fashion. It also was fair - no one held, knocked back or mezzed you. The bad guys were also in the whole hard to hold, but they all had weaknesses - immobilize, slows and so on.

    I was rated straight 5 stars for it by most people as the foes were a challenge yet very fair. I did it as a counter to the Devs who I say often take a shortcut - they use mezz to artificially add difficulty. Design and armor can make foes tough and resilient - while not holding your player in perma - status effect.

    No, actually, I do each mission because I enjoy them. They just happen to lead to other missions. If the first mission of the ITF didn't lead to any thing, I would still enjoy it.
    It only leads to something IF you decide to follow it.

    You sir, with all due respect are insane.

    No, that doesn't mean what you think it means.

    You can do content unlocking the Incarnate Arc.
    You can then do content IN the Incarnate Arc.

    Both are content.

    In a TF - you do a mission to unlock the next mission.
    In the Eden Trial you defeat a bunch of DE, you defeat the 2 monsters so you can defeat the stone wall and then on to defeat the next wall, and then on to gather ambrosia, and then on to free the heroes, and then on to defeat the Titan.

    Each one unlocks the next. It's called CONTENT.
  24. I have seen your complaint that we have to play the game to get content.

    I haven't seen one suggestion as to how you would do it?

    I Demand...

    I will be the one to offer a solution - I will color all my shields and powers to Green and Red during the entire month of December.

    I will cause the lights to glow in Paragon!
