    That pop-up needs to be taken out back and shot. Clearly, it was designed by an idiot. It warns you about salvaged used in MEMORIZED recipes as well. Obviously, my badge hunter has a lot of recipes memorized.

    I believe it was either 9/28 or 10/5. I was not, however, checking it on a regular basis.

    Take that with a grain of salt. Someone had posted that they petitioned about it and were told that we were only supposed to be able to get 3. It should be taken as a truism that the GM's have NO CLUE what the devs actually intend.

    Since Pither is a level 45-50 contact, you can't outlevel him. So you only have to worry about failing any of the timed missions.

    Or to Fusionette.

    And THAT is what I was waiting for. To me, this would be the most important question. I was working my way through the patrons with my villains. When we got GR and I took my badger redside, I ran the arc with the TITLE I wanted (Scirocco for 'Mirage', FYI).

    Please note that, if you *DO* decide to take any of the powers, doing ANY patron arc unlocks ALL the patron pools. You don't have to plan around which power you might want.

    If you're ONLY interested in the story line, personally, I liked Ghost Widow's arc.

    Ah yes, people making things up.

    Unless you're familiar with the inner workings of both pieces of software, you have no clue which one is at fault. Just because they played nice together before Issue 17 means NOTHING. The EVGA software could have been a piece of garbage all along but happened to not conflict with CoH.

    Or they could both be working fine and it could be an improperly documented aspect of Windows. Or it could be CoH. But you don't know. None of us do. It would be nice to have a clue before you start criticizing people.

    Odd. I've soloed that arc on different toons and never found Siege particularly difficult. I've only soloed Recluse once but I thought he was harder.

    Ah, but you posted in a public forum so there WILL be discussion.

    Nope. This was fixed in a recent patch. It was, of course, not mentioned in the patch notes since it was clearly an exploit.

You can not argue with me about my opinion and frankly that is what you seem to be doing.
    That's not how I read his post. It seems to me that he feels the same way I do here: that you're just here to vent your spleen. You don't like the game so you're leaving. Fine. Then you come to the forums to post pages of ranting and complaining and argument. Not so fine and it makes you seem a small person. If you're going, go with dignity.

    And not so long before that, it had previously been reduced by a factor of 10. The requirement for the Empath badge is now 1% of what it was originally.

    Mandatory rant: And you kids have it easy! I got it the hard way, uphill in the snow, yada yada yada....
  13. The good guys on each side seem to be more concerned about the people. The bad guys on each side seem to be more concerned about the enemy.
  14. Interesting. The monitor in question does have both analog and digital input and I did not think to try the analog. Nor did I try unplugging it completely. I'll have to remember those two things if this happens again.

    I do have a high-end surge protector and line filter, however it is not a full UPS.

    The OP gave a description of the events and provided a screenshot. The precise technical terms are irrelevant since he also described the problem in plain English. Are you here to argue semantics or offer HELPFUL information?
  16. Well.... I can bring my stone tank for the blue one.
    Maybe a stalker for the red one.....

    I don't think the question is whether it matters enough. I think the question is whether they want the cap higher. I think the answer to that is no and that they would decline to raise it even if it were trivially easy.
  18. You can also just right-click them on your global list and pick Remove. It doesn't matter whether they are online or off.

    It occurs to me someone might not know where to find this list. Above your chat window, click FRIENDS. In the dropdown box at the top, pick GLOBAL. It will list all your global friends, whether online or not. For the ones who are online, it will show additional information (what server, what toon, etc). If this is not displaying, click the triangle at the lower right of the window to expand the listing.
  19. Yeah, seriously. Are you going to go bump 143 other threads that have useful information?
  20. To summarize, leave the spaces in. I have a prestige sprint power bound to alt+r. I typed the bind as:
    /bind alt+r powexecname prestige power dash
    It works fine.
  21. Background: I had a monitor die while still under warranty. Samsung fixed it at no charge, even paying the shipping both ways. But I can't be without a computer for two weeks, so I bought another monitor first. I also have two computers. For convenience, I will call them old computer, new computer, etc.

    One day, I turn on old computer, which is connect to old monitor and get no video. It does NOT give me the flashing 'No Signal' message like it does when there is no connection. It gives me the same message as when the video card goes into standby mode. So, it knows it's hooked up to a video card, but it's not getting a signal from it.

    No way of telling from that if the problem is the monitor or the card, so.... I switch the old monitor to my new computer. And... it works fine. Okay, so I guess it's the video card in the old computer. Just to be sure, let's connect the new monitor to the old computer. That works fine too. Curious. So I reconnect the old monitor to the old computer, the way it started out, and now it works fine.

    Not being able to reproduce the problem, I moved on. A few weeks later, I need to use the old computer (and old monitor) so I turn it on and everything works fine. I see that Windows needs to be updated so I do that. I reboot. I get the problem again where the monitor isn't getting the signal. I disconnect the video cable and reconnect it, restart and still no signal. I leave the system off for 10 minutes and start it up - no signal. I think I'll try watching the system LED's for any clues and turn it on again, having made no changes, and it works fine this time.

    So..... any ideas? Do I have a poltergeist? Is a component on it's way to failing? Could it be a cable issue?
  22. I don't run two accounts often but I have done it since Issue 18 and have had no problems. I wonder if it's an issue with multiple instances running AE stuff. I've seen various wonky behavior from the AE missions.
  23. Curious. I'm using a Logitech mouse and didn't even bother installing drivers when I installed Win7 and my wheel works fine.

    hmm.... There's an option somewhere in the options menu (in CoH) to adjust the sensitivity of the mouse wheel. I recall mine got borked and set to 1 years ago. The mouse wheel was moving things so slowly it looked like it wasn't doing anything at all.

    Oh yeah.... years ago, when I got my first Logitech mouse, I installed the driver and CoH didn't like it. I uninstalled the Logitech driver and told Windows XP it was a plain mouse and then it worked fine.
  24. You can always wait until next time. It seems that anything around 10 figures burns a hole in Fulmens' pocket.
