  1. And to answer the tread title - the game runs just fine under Win7.

    Why don't you grow up, stick to the facts and knock off the silly insults.
    My only devotion is to facts and accurate posts. You keep making unwarranted assumptions and drawing incorrect conclusions.

    It's not gone by intention. It's broken.

    The XP bonus for the WST *ONLY* applies to the end of mission bonus. It doesn't apply to critter XP at all.

    Delete the characters or not. Delete the game or play for years. Why would we be concerned with your decisions in your life?

    Do what you want and do it for your reasons.
    If you're trying to prove something to a bunch of strangers on the internet, it's a useless gesture.

    Yes. But, given that some tanks will go in there with 90% resistance, 6-7000 points isn't actually a big deal to a tank.
  7. Weird. Try this: activate the chat window by clicking in it with the mouse, then type something and hit enter. At what point does it lock up?

    Perhaps. But the simple fact is that, until things are close enough to finished that the devs can reliably set dates, all you're going to get is "soon".

    If you actually believe that is always true, then we can't even have a good debate. Do you really think every company updates their web site in a timely fashion? The posted system requirements are out of date. Ask around if you want corroboration, but don't just parrot the company line again and again.

    which brings me to my second point, were my system the issue one would safely maintain I would not be able to run any trials,
    Absolutely wrong. Some trials are more stressful on computers than others. Just check the forums to see how many people complain specifically about the warehouse map in the Lambda Trial.
  10. Two questions:
    1) By "chat", you mean typing in the chat window and not a voice chat program, right?
    2) Do all channels lock you up? Local? Broadcast?
  11. Well, for simplicity, if you like Rikti or Cimerorans, you've got contacts with infinite missions in RWZ and Cimerora. Likewise for Firebase Zulu.

    That's a very common power. Lots of heroes and villains have theme music that follows them.

    Firstly, it is fair. You may not like it but, if everyone has the same odds, it's fair.
    Second, there is randomness THROUGHOUT The game. When you defeat an enemy, it's random *IF* you get a drop and *WHAT* you get.
    And, of course, hitting in combat is random.
    If you don't want randomness, go play chess. Games like this are built around random results.

  15. Your assumption is correct. She would hit for 6,000 points. Consider yourself lucky. Either that wasn't her biggest attack, or the person I saw was lower level relative to Bobcat, but I've seen her hit for 7,500 points.
  16. Step 1 - Whatever you're doing that isn't fun, stop it.

    You say you're tired of managing a bunch of SG's? Then ditch them. Give them to someone. Sell them.

    Your money is too spread out? Consolidate it. You can email it from one character to another, up to 1 billion inf at a time.

    If I know that there is going to be a large patch, I leave the launcher running when I go to work. That way, it downloads the patch while I'm out. This is important to me since my "broad"band sucks.

    And this is different from every other piece of software in existence in what way? If someone has trouble with the launcher, tech support works with them to try to get it to work. If you can't get it to work, you're hosed. I had that happen with an anti-malware product. Absolutely could not get it to work even after 3 full uninstall/reinstalls at the behest of tech support. I ended up going to another product. It happens. No software is perfect.

    It was broke. The old launcher sucked. Unfortunately, the new launcher is not an unconditional improvement. It also has issues.

    You mean if they had done it the way YOU want. You're not in a position to judge if it was done correctly (i.e. to maximize income in the long-term). Neither am I.

    Nonsense. Their stated minimums are out of date while the "baseless suppositions" are up-to-date evaluation from people who play the game daily. If you go by the posted minimums, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

    There is a good reason and it does make good business sense. Plenty of people felt that the lack of high-end raid content was a serious flaw with the game. By introducing that type of content, they widen the appeal of the game. Please note, they did not REMOVE any solo content in the process.

    It's partly concept, partly what you're accustomed to. I have characters with no travel power because I wanted other stuff. I have some who take a travel power very late, because they wanted other stuff earlier, I have some with two travel powers.

    I wouldn't say that I "work hard" to skip travel powers, though. With Ninja Run and the 2 jump packs, it's practically a default option for me. Unless a travel power actually fits the character concept, why take one at all?

    @.@
    I'm leaving the game because they keep introducing new content?

  25. Well, a rising tide lifts all boats.
    I expect redside will get additional players, but I think blue will get MORE additional players - probably in similar proportion to the current distribution.
