Or in the circular file.
Quote:I think every power needs to be rebalanced to need maximum of one SO accuracy(maybe 2 SOs for incarnate stuff and other +5-10 level enemies) and maximum of 1 SO endurance reduction, period.
P.S. My illusion controller kicks butt. -
Quote:I would think you'd want to install all the apps you use even moderately often. For example, I have CoH on my SSD, but the test and beta installs on a conventional HD. I've got Office on there, Photoshop, my browser, anti-virus, etc, etc. I'm using 47GB currently so 60 would have been cutting it close. I went with 128.Is there a reason you chose a 120Gb SSD instead of something like a 60/80Gb? I'd likely just have the OS, SWAP on it unless someone has a better reason.
6-8 core CPU sounds like overkill. Four cores with hyperthreading is a pretty epic amount of processing power.
Might want to go more than 8GB of RAM. Maybe. I have 8 and I can run 2 instances of CoH and a horrendous load of junk in the background (like 8 instances of SETI@home) without getting anywhere near 8. (Running two instances now, plus Excel, browser, IM, Skype, 8 SETI@home, anti-virus, anti-malware and a few utilities and I'm using 4.14GB.) More RAM can't hurt - especially if it happens to be cheap when you're ready to buy.
BTW, everything newchemicals said sounds good. If I were to take exception to any of it, I would include the motherboard as one of the key components, rather than a "detail". I really like Asus and Gigabyte. For power supplies, my last 3 builds used Antec. (My current case is an Antec 900.) -

Quote:Actually, we do have one small piece of information. We know we'll be getting more level shifts.5) there will be future incarnate powers. Other than that, and the Hybrid slot currently on beta, no info
This is a decade old niche game that's beating the bejesus out of it's competition in that niche. -
Quote:Since it's hard enough to actually get all 10 acids used, we (Infinity) usually just assume that a couple will 'go missing' and plan accordingly. We use the acids immediately but leave two doors and never bother closing them.Although that's acids, not nades. Also, whenever I do a Lambda trial, we just end up waiting until the clock hits 18:30 (sometimes 18:00, depending on the leader) before using the acids in order to let the adds build up. Then we can close all the gates and still have enough for the extra Astral. I kinda thought that was standard operating procedure everywhere -- are there some servers that run it differently?
It's possible and does not require microsecond timing. Nothing involving communication over the internet can be that precise. The same kind of communication 'sloppiness' that allows you to stack Vengeance allows two grenades to be used. It's definitely not a COMMON occurrence, but I have seen it. -
The reason for his snarkiness is that this is posted in the INFINITY SERVER section. I'll speculate that you missed that - since you asked what server in the first place.

Quote:<shrug> You're also getting a bunch of free sets. By making some of the sets a purchase for everyone, they have more development funds and are bringing out powersets more often than they used to.800 points is $10, but you'll also gain 400 points from your month of VIP.
-
Quote:Yep. Those are all paid sets for everyone. Of course, now we're getting a hell of a lot more powersets than we used to.Titan Weapons didn't unlock.
Staff Fighting didn't unlock.
Beast Mastery didn't unlock.
Quote:I messed around for a second as a Free player before reactivating to see that my Street Fighting character was accessible, but my Time Manipulation character was not.
Quote:SO, first and foremost, could someone tell me what exactly the benefits for VIP are these days?
Quote:I know some sort of Darkness Control was introduced - Can I access that as a VIP, or do I have to buy that as well?
Quote:Secondly, I'm back! For a month. Like I said, been about 6 months - What have I missed? -
Quote:Ah! So the playstyle you encountered didn't mesh with YOUR playstyle. Not everyone is focused on kill, kill, kill, XP, XP, XP. I guess they were focused on getting a different 'job' done.When I said they weren't too big on talent, I probably should have been more clear. It's worth mentioning that they are some of the nicest people I've ever come across in game. But, because they're so nice, they're not focused on getting the job done. They were more focused on conversation. At least, that was my experience.
If I want conversation, I can pick up the phone. I play to kill stuff to get stuff so I can kill stuff more easily. -
Quote:You keep harping on Taskmaster Gabriel. I don't think you understand how he works. He doesn't lock you into ANYTHING. He doesn't offer any missions of his own. All he does is track what DA arcs you have completed. You can do one arc, then go off for a week and do ten task forces, then come back and do the next arc. Or you can do the arcs out of order. Gabriel doesn't restrict you in any way.It doesn't matter when they added him, because either do something properly or not at all. Don't half *** a job. And setting the missions to repeatable and testing that cannot be hard. And if it does break something hold the repeatable thing back until it is fixed.
Sure, after the first run of an arc, you have to do it through Ouroboros - just like every other story arc in the game. -
Quote:And, based on that restriction, the name change really should only be PURCHASABLE by the person with the red star. This would mean the system has to interact with both the store and the SG roster. That sounds difficult.SG renames -should- be handled as purchasable tokens (just like character renames) that cost say $20 (just so no one will abuse them by using them too often) with the added rule that they can only be used by characters who are currently the "Red Star" superleaders of a SG.

Quote:This is the internet. We don't need 'grounds' to give someone lip. In fact... ah, pardon me....Hey, if you went through all that effort just to test the waters, then nobody has grounds to give you lip.
Quote:Infinity has some nice people, but they don't seem too big on talent.
Quote:I am sure some will disagree with parts of my post, but hey, they're only my opinion. -
Quote:There is nothing unsafe about copying an existing install.Just download the windows client from the CoH website. Then, do a fresh install. That method isn't the fastest, but it is the safe way to do things.
Also, the CoH directory is 4 GB. That is a horrific download for anyone with sub-par internet access. -

Quote:Actually, I was talking about in-game also.Well, I was talking in-game kitties, but have now found out that IB is, in RL, a manly man kitty owner.
In real life, I have never had more than two cats at once. And I have never had any kind of pet other than cats. -

orly?
Well, Freitag's post here, posted TODAY, says they are 50% off. Someone needs to get on the ball. -

Okay, don't get all teary-eyed on us!

Quote:I will answer that two ways:my assumption is that quivers would be a bunch of work to make a piece that only archers would use and many probably would not.
there are very few archers, so why spend dev resources making a piece that is so limited in its use?
1) This is just my impression, but I suspect we have more people that would want quivers than want a mini volcano on their backs, yet we have the caldera back item.
2) Why spend the resources? MONEY! There are a boatload of archery based characters out there. I would sure as hell buy a quiver for mine. -

Well, you're in the minority.
Quote:They are the one thing that has truly kept this game from reaching its maximum potential. We hardly see any advertisement for this game except in the least impact places, crappy magazines and one product placement on a crappy tv show hardly anyone watches.
Quote:Seriously then they go and pull the no staff fighting till now but force feed us all these fake companion pets that do nothing and IOs that can be easily gotten in game and you guys try to say you do not want to be perceived as trying to get our money. Dont make me laugh. All I can say is the next time something big like this is announced or worked on DO NOT make us wait an excessive amount of time on it. -
