I'm level 36 and have no other story arcs open. Nothing. *sigh*. I'll shoot for 37 later today.

I decided to hook up with the plaync affiliate program today since the only ads I want on my site for for City of Heroes itself, but the problem is that when I tried, I found out I had already applied!

I don't remember how long ago, but it was long enough that I forgot that I had applied. How long does it usually take? Has anyone else done this?

I have a level 35 MM who has been doing the Naylor missions specifically so I can do the Rularuu stuff for weapons. But for some reason, he's not giving me the Mole Point Bravo. He says something like he can't give me the big stuff and to come back when I'm ready.

What's the deal?

I guess I spoke too soon on the Toshibas.... That Quasimo has a keyboard with ten-key that has the buttons all in the right places! Neato!

My fellow heroes and villains, Statesman has smiled upon me and Lord Recluse has turned a blind eye. I rejoice for I have been granted a work bonus for the real life work that I've done and I plan to use it to secure a better vehicle for playing this wonderful game!

My thinking is that for anything I would want to do on a laptop, if it can run CoH/V well, it will do anything else too. So, my big problem is that I'm at a loss for what to do. The last laptop I purchased was in 2003 (which can play CoH at the lowest possible settings... barely). This must be rectified!

I would ask for the considered help of my quite knowledgable peers. If you had $1000 as your budget (give or take a few hundred), what would YOU buy? Are there any sales or deals I should be watching for? Should I wait until the next major holiday? I have a friend who's a student if I need to use a student discount.

Feature-wise, the bigger and heavier the better. If I had to get a laptop backpack that dragged on the ground, great! I don't like little screens, little keyboards, or anything like that. I want a power process (NOT a Celeron), non-integrated graphics (of course), minimum 3 GB Ram (4+ better), but size of hard drive is NOT important. I'm using an 80 now and that actually works just fine so a 200 or whatever is sufficient (I don't need 500 etc).

I did like my Dell because it had a keyboard that has the keys in the right order (home page up, page down, etc) but I can live with a goofy keybaord that hides keys if I have to (as long as it's not a toshiba where you have to hunt for the danged windows key!).

I like the idea of a warranty if it's a good one that covers all normal wear and tear and power surges, but nothing shorter than 3 years or it's pretty much a waste to pay extra.

So if you would like to take my challenge and help a colleague out, let the suggestions begin! Thank you all!

Whenever I try to place enhancments normally or during a respec and I try to point at an enhancement, the mouse jumps up to the left when the cursor changes to a hand. It makes it really hard to pick them up and place them.

I'm using AMD 64 x2 processor, Sapphire Radeon 3850 graphics, windowed mode (though I have the same problem when not windowed)

Warburg. I forgot about that. The only challenge is that as a defender, it's very difficult to quickly hunt things at or above my level. I was hoping for a 5 level spread or better like I can get in missions sometimes

However, if I bring a scrapper or blaster friend for damage, that could work well. I could even organize a hunt in Warburg on the badge hunting channel. Thanks for the idea!

I've tried over 20 times and the only radio missions I can get are for council, CoT, Arachnos and Carnies. No Rikti, no malta, no knives or artemis, nothing. I'm level 45. Any clues?

For all that like CoH webcomics, here is my 24th offering:

Many thanks and my apologies for missing the tech support area. I looked, but expected it to be here not in development. I'll try that.

I just got a new card that lets me nearly max out every graphics control in the game (a first for me). I'm excited, but a little confused. There's a weird water reflection glitch where the reflection that should be in the water is actually in midair and moves strangly as I pan the camera around. If I turn on FSAA and put water on medium, it goes away.

On that note, when I turn on FSAA, depth of field turns off automatically and vice-versa. Is that supposed to happen?

My account when inactive for a day until I noticed it had expired and fixed it (less than 24 hours downtime I think). Does that mean I don't qualify for the closed beta for i16?
