    Terrible Lag?

    A friend and I both experienced terrible lag in Kings Row on Virtue. We were simply hunting Clockwork by the hospital and my powers were stuck for a couple of minutes than several fired in a matter of 2-3 seconds and battle was done.

    We called it a night and moved on to other things.
  2. There is also a Jetpack temp power that dops now, as well. When the market goes back up, there may be some available to bid on, as well.

    Sonuva....

    I despise you. Why didn't I think of that?



    Gonna have to do that straightaway!

    What I 'have' been doing is spreading around Temp Powers if I already have it on a toon.

    This!

    Looking back at Beta Testing, I can see where you can put in a request for multiples for bids. I never thought to test it as all I ever needed was a single this, that or the other thing. The market on Test is not as robust or versatile as it is on Live. I suspect no one else thought of testing that particular feature on Test either. On behalf of the Beta Testers, I do apologize for not catching this bug on test.

  6. The six year anniversary badge doesn't seem to be in the Events category yet. I just logged on today and got the badge, but I keep get an error message that pops up that says "Error Sending Badges to Titan: Badges not available for Character".

    When I look in the Event badges, I don't see it listed there, so I suspect that is why I can't get it to update.
  7. I sympathize with those players having problems with I17 release. I recall having problems a couple times with way earlier issues on my old computer. Even after getting my new computer, I noticed that it ran better with the Beta version of Ultra Mode than it did with the Live version that was running before I17.

    I was in Beta testing with my computer to work on Ultra Mode settings, trying different things and I can tell you one major bug that got squashed was turning on the shadows. The first time my computer was set to Ultra Mode, my FPS bottomed out to about 1 FPS. I had to reboot the computer to start it up again and so long as I left shadows alone, I could run Ultra Mode just fine.

    I am amazed at how smooth this release has been for me. I had an issue with my GPU crashing a couple times a day while playing, but a driver update seems to have fixed that.

    For some, this is "the worst release ever", and for them, it may be, but for others, it is a wonderful experience. I wish the ones with problems good luck and be patient. A solution will arise, just look at different options.

    One final note, I highly recommend upgrading your GPU/computer when you can, it will be worth it. I went from 5 year old Pentium single core with GeForce FX 5500 GPU to a i7 with a Radeon HD 5770. I can run at max Ultra Mode (without Ambient Occlusion) and FSAA X8 and still get 60 FPS.
  8. Having view that and your video, I believe you covered the Issue much more comprehensively.

    There are (at least) two ways to find Global channels. One is to pop down to the server forums you are interested in and ask there. (Although they are cross server, many tend to cluster around a single server.)

    The second way is to use the Channel search function. Right-click in your chat box to bring a very large list of options. Channel search is about 3/4 (?) of the way down. This brings up a search box (default search is for server and Archetype I think) that you can type whatever topic you like, and if the search term is in the name of the channel, it is listed. The search box tells you both total membership and current online membership of the channels you find.

    With regards to looking/not looking for team:

    Just because one is not actively looking for a team does not mean one is not open to a team. Not Looking is the default option, and most of the time I (and I imagine many others) don't bother to change my flag. Note that there is an option specifically against teams (the red 'No' slashed circle). If someone sets this flag, team invites are auto-rejected, and the entire line in the search box for that person has a red background.

    When I put together a team (and there are people with better technique that will hopefully share), I look for Looking flagged people first, then anyone in an open zone that is Not Looking, then inside missions. I send a tell stating what I intend to do with the team (Radio missions, fight such-and-such AV, putting together a TF, whatever) and possibly the level range. After a positive response, I send the invite, to negative ones I say thanks anyway. I stay aware of how many non-responses I get so I don't end up with a sudden flurry of acceptances after my team is filled.
    To supplement this info, barring any title you find out otherwise, you can always use the server name as a search term. Then sort by numbers as appropriate. That will help you find the most populated channel on the server in most cases. There may be other channels that don't have the server name as part of the Global Channel Name, but I've done fine with searching for the server name to find a channel.
  15. I had posted this idea in the Suggestions forum, but since this topic is active, I thought I might give it another go to see if it might receive better acceptance.

    Generally, Vet powers have a tendancy to be be of some small little usability, creating ease of use for a player without being a game breaking development if a character hasn't earned it yet.

    My idea is this.

    How about a Trainer Teleport power? How many times have you been done with a mission with a low level character, but a trainer is long ways away and you are on a team.

    Have the power take you to trainer in the same zone as you are, or if you are in a hazard zone with no trainer, to a trainer in the last zone you were in that had a trainer.
  16. Base Raid PvE idea.

    Set it up as a contact with a timed mission.

    Your contact receives intel that your base will be attacked.

    You have say, 10-15 minutes to get back to your base to defend it against the intruders.

    Obviously, several details would have to be worked out. Whether it would be your actual base, or perhaps, an ally's base (say, Coyote). It makes for a cool concept for a mission.

    You have to keep certain items from being destroyed during 3 separate assaults. Better than not know when a base would be attacked.

  18. While I wouldn't want to sacrifice my main character, I do have a couple of characters that would qualify that it would be an honor to participate.

    If there are toons out there named, and I quote: Satins Angle or Death Rouge ... or anything with 666 or evil (for a hero I might add). You get the point.

    Just have fun with naming them.
    I do have a villain named 666.5! He's just a little bit more evil.

  23. How about The Golden Gun from The Man with the Golden Gun.

    Then again, would that be considered copyright infringement?

  24. Another possibility is to produce additional Super Booster packs that still retain the Five Origins flavor.

    They could call it, as an example, Super Booster VI: Dark Magic or whatever they want and still tie it to a specific origin. I read lots of requests of what people wanted to have appear in the Super Booster packs that didn't make it in there.

    I sure they could easily produce one every 3-4 months to keep it fresh enough without overloading the desire to own for the "gotta have it" crowd.
  25. Hmmm....not much. Did my Day Job Shuffle and that was about it for this weekend.
