For the past year or so, maybe since I17, my graphics card crashes on me at least once every time I play. My screen will just suddenly go black. Sometimes if i have music playing, you can still hear the music playing normally, but I have to restart the PC to do anything. There doesn't seem to be any particular thing in game that causes it, I've tried different graphics settings, and it'll happen on any character in any zone at any time. I even bought a new PC and kept the same graphics card and it still happens. I've updated drivers (though I think one was released today I haven't tried). It's starting to get to me! :-P

Probably not the ideal place to post this, but... I'm looking to upgrade my video card. I currently have a 9600 GT, and am having crashing issues. Any recommendations on a decent Ultra Mode card for around $200-250? I see GTX 460s for around 200, or are Radeon 6800s decent? So many options D:

Are you willing to respec into a PvP build?: Absolutely

Briefly describe your PvP experience: Founding member of the pvp version of VORI. Lots of zone and a fair amount of arena experience.

Wut's this?

I like artists that draw clean lines and tend to look more sleek. And who know how to do their proportions. No big limbed, small headed guys for me *coughRobLeifieldcough* My faves are John Cassaday, John Romita Jr., and the Kubert brothers. I'd post some links, but I'm lazy.

P.S.-That Flash is awesome. Who did that? It says Ethan in the corner, Ethan Van Sciver?

So I just restarted playing this game this week and have an issue that I didn't before. When I'm travelling, all of a sudden i'll stop moving or jumping when I'm still holding down the movement keys. I have super speed and super jump going. If I stop and repress the keys it's fine, but in a movement based thing like zone pvp, it gets frustrating. It seems to happen when I use my mouse at the same time as the keyboard, if use just my keyboard for movement I have no issues, but when i use my mouse to move the camera or click on powers, I randomly stop. Anyone else have this issue, or any advice? I use a wireless mouse and keyboard.

So how come we can't customize weapons to have a damage type? They'd have to add some new effects and such. But like a mace or or battle axe with lightning, or energy arrows, a flaming katana, etc etc, so on and so forth!

Yah, where be the Dirge?

Once you go Crack you never go back I hear.

You're cute

Why wasn't I informed!? :-P Well, if you'll have me, i'll work on my emp some more. Feel free to PL it :-D
