Ironblade

If we get a halberd, they might put it in the staff set. Not because that's how it's WIELDED, but because it's mostly a stick.

I haven't tested, but I don't think it will work with the spaces. Definitely ParagonWiki lists it as chatsave and chatload. That's how I do it and it works.

Yes and no. Sure, you can complain, but you have no "right" to do it here in the forums. There are no rights or free speech here. These are a private forum, owned by a business, so none of that is applicable.

Yeah.... I imagine this is against the rules. Definitely it makes you look like a jerk. Stuff like this should be communicated privately.

Right.... it's all a deliberate attempt to insult and annoy you.

hmm... Then again, maybe it is 'deliberate' in a way. I know that a lot of businesses will put a note in a customers file if that customer is considered a pest.

I would think that a lot of servers have regularly scheduled task forces. I run a task force every Saturday afternoon on Infinity with sign-up on the forums. Check your server forum section to see what's going on.

Again, still not seeing anything unusual. Someone you only know from online declined to provide his real name. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Actually, it's Chromatic Cat. Her bio explains that there was an accident involving a teleportation device when someone left a cat and a box of crayons in it. But no, can't be her. I created her planning to move her to Triumph and that's where she lives now.

Close. Fists of Furry Fury - SR/StJ tank.

I actually have two toons with that name. One is the PB on Infinity; the other is a blaster on Triumph.


FYI, there is one more - a WP/ice tank named Taiga Tigress.

I don't love it when people post stupidly.
I was criticizing someone for using the word, but you lumped me in with the loons.

I've seen him! His name is P543573254!

No. A lot of people make this mistake. You overlook that, for a portion of the player base, it's the earning of rewards that makes something "fun". It's not a choice between 'earning rewards' or 'having fun'. For some people, the two are synonymous. For some, they overlap to varying degrees. For some, rewards are of little or no concern.

Are you sure of that? The devs very clearly made that statement about STATESMAN, but I don't recall any such comment about Sister Psyche.

Wow, cheapskates.
You get a lot more each month working at a cable company.


And this is shocking? On Ventrilo or Teamspeak I use Ironblade. My Skype account doesn't use my real name since I anticipated I might use it for gaming.

Sometimes people pick annoying colors on purpose.

What? I would never hoard enhancements.
And I definitely would NOT create an entire SG base just for private storage.
Never!

hmm.... I've never looked for a build guide. First place I would look, offhand, is www.tomshardware.com. That site is just packed with useful information. Dunno if they have build guides, but you should check it out anyway.

The only step that I did want a guide for is applying the thermal compound to the CPU. For that, the manufacturer of the thermal compound should have guides on their site. This is the only part of the build where you can't just go by 'common sense'. When you install a hard drive, you know it needs a connection from the power supply and a connection to the motherboard. When you apply thermal compound, you need to know something about the internal architecture of the CPU (i.e. where it generates the heat). A guide will explain that. My preference is Arctic Silver.

They're not saying that no typo ever gets fixed. They're saying that they PERSONALLY know of typos that have been there for YEARS even after being reported. I also will make this statement from my own experience.


Oh, I get it. When you put words in peoples mouths that the devs have never fixed a typo ever, you're engaging in hyperbole. Right?


Beats me. Now a question for you. How many people do you think try the game, see egregious spelling errors and typos, conclude it's an amateurish effort and just leave? I can't put a number on that, but I would wager serious money that it's not ZERO.

orly? You gonna make me bring a catgirl?

Way overkill. I can run two instances plus all kinds of other junk with 8GB. RAM usage never gets past 6GB.


I'm not even recommending a video card or manufacturer. I have AMD in this system, NVidia in the last one. When I'm getting ready to build, I see what's best at that time. My current system is almost 2 years old so I'm not up to date on video cards.

I have very little experience with Tigerdirect. They were okay.
I have built MULTIPLE entire systems with parts from Newegg, plus purchased loads of peripherals and accessories. Newegg is fantastic.


A word about liquid cooling: don't. If you're going to overclock and/or you're an experienced builder, fine. Otherwise, you just don't need it.

There isn't one. It's like talking about cars and saying a car is a good "value". To whom?

As far as I'm concerned, a serious 'gaming computer' is one where the video card is the most expensive component. The parts in my current system cost:
$320 video card
$290 CPU
$270 SSD
etc.
My previous build had the first two components reversed. For this one, I figured I spend enough time gaming that I should make it a 'gaming system'. At any given time, I would say a $200 video card will give a decent gaming experience. Get over $300 and you're getting into 'high end' territory. Buying the latest and greatest can cost you $500 or more but you're probably wasting your money. You never want to be buying the newest and most expensive of any product. You want to go a couple of steps down the product line to fine the best ratio of performance to cost (i.e. 'bang for the buck').

Got enough position-related metaphors in there?

8 is plenty (or go to 12 for triple channel architecture).
I have 8GB and I can run my browser with a dozen tabs open, Photoshop, Excel, Skype, 8 instances of SETI@home and two instances of CoH.

See above for what I can run. I have a quad core (with hyperthreading) at... um... hmm... I think 2.92GHz base clockspeed. The chip overclocks itself as long as it's kept cool and I have high-end air cooling.

That's a huge range. My system cost me about $1700 (sans monitor) but that includes almost $300 for a solid state drive. If that doesn't include the monitor, you can... hmm... was going to say "build". Are you going to build or buy? You can build an amazing system if you approach $2000.

"Grossly overpriced" would be more accurate. You're paying for a name and a flashy case.

Any chance you'll build this yourself? From what I've seen, at a given price point, you can go with an off-the-shelf system or build it yourself with comparable 'performance'. However, the self-built system will have top name brand, industry standard components rather than 'brand X' non-standard parts. Of course, you could build it yourself with cheap components and save a lot of money, but I obviously don't recommend that.

But they do realize that if rewards are earned too fast, people get bored and leave.

You should be fine.


No. It should not.


Absolutely wrong, unless this loyalty program is working differently from previous ones. We were told flat-out (back during the loyalty program for the Vanguard stuff) that as long as your subscription was active for part of each day, it counted as continuously subscribed.
