Kitsune Knight

Rad/anything should be able to put the hurt on many AVs, although Archery doesn't have any debuffs to help you with killing/surviving the AV like several of the other sets (Sonic's -res makes it top ranked last I heard). You should do pretty good, but it might be on the slow side.

They said OpenGL, not OpenGL 3.x. Also, according to that press release, SLI just magically works and the Devs don't have to do anything, so this thread shouldn't exist

But DOs don't scale by absolute level like IOs do, only relative level. The only difference between a level 1 DO and a level 50 DO is the when you can slot it, and when it degrades, not in the absolute amount it grants.

This seems to be the clincher. If they're actually equivalent, then that means they're only usable from 17 to 23, and would be inferior to SOs (and IOs), with the exception of the minor buff, in which case it's not a big deal IMO.

Definitely not. You're going to pay a double for not that great of an improvement in potential visuals. Better to just buy a slightly better video card, than spending double on a setup that's more likely to fail or bugger out (more points of failure, more moving parts, more odds of something breaking).

You mean in an internal (or at least non-live) build, right? Because I recorded that video since the latest patch (actually minutes before posting).


I figured that'd stop it too (which is why I didn't move until Fraps was running ), but it did continue for surprisingly long after I started moving, making me wonder if there's maybe another trigger for it to end.

If it's happening for pretty much everyone on Infinity, then it's unlikely to be an ISP issue (for either NC or the users), as Infinity would be sharing the same uplink ISP as the other servers on the same coast, so it wouldn't be [I]Infinity[/ I] but half the shards.

First off, you should probably post this in a new thread, as it's an unrelated problem (the problem in this thread was a temporary server side issue with the EU update server).


What exactly is your problem? Is your ISP cutting you off, or are you getting some error with the game? And what do you mean that you're having an upload (or do you mean download?) spike of 6 to 7 megs? When are the spikes occurring?

It depends on the IO. Set bonuses would still work, and IOs that act like set bonuses would. Ones that have to proc wouldn't, though.

The test server is meant to test the code that's going to later be on live.

When I first joined blue side, I didn't know that little fact, and one time that I went to the wrong destination I sat at the exit gate waiting about 5+ minutes for the train to leave so I could click the gate to get back on...

That's a very good point I didn't think about (I spent about an hour and a half doing those two story arcs solo on my Em/Nin Stalker... so much death! And two shivans totally wasted!). I'm not sure how they could expand something like that to work well with teams... seems like only the mission holder is ever at all involved with the story on teams... which sucks for TFs as it's hard to try to read the story as you're going along.

It's be nice if they fixed the mission dialog window to not go blank for several seconds every time someone zoned or a dozen other random things occur, it really makes it hard to read the longer ones when you keep getting shot back to the top.

On teams, though, you can throw bigger baddies with interesting and different powers like Protein's Power Siphon (which I'm not sure what it does, 'cause I ran like hell every time the warning flashed up) to spice up the combat experience. I think there's a lot of combat mechanics that could be adapted from the old RPGs (like Chrono Triggers) and fit in fairly well with the game (many of which probably don't need any new infrastructure) that won't really make it harder so much as more varied and more interesting.
