LCD will work fine also. Just use the DPI Setting (Windows 200/XP) or DPI Scaling (Windows Vista/7), do Custom and put it at 200%. That should keep it crisp, while making everything easier to see/read.

To change DPI Setting:

Right-click on a blank spot on the desktop and choose Properties, click the Settings tab, and then the Advanced button. Set the DPI Setting to Custom and type 200 in the box (you can set it to other percentages, but keeping it in multiples of 2 will produce the sharpest result).

To Chage DPI Scaling:

Right-click on a blank spot on the desktop and choose Personalize, click the Adjust font size (DPI). Choose whatever size looks good (I believe Vista/7 does FSAA natively, so any percentage should work).

Try going into Data > Select Instance and force it to your game instance. I haven't had the online offline issue, that I am aware of, but I have had it stop recording most data (still recorded xp, inf, and debt though) and doing the above fixed that.

Welcome back Dante. Hope you have fun. You may see me online, but probably not on Guardian much.

If at first you don't succeed, stab, stab again.

Not even close to a year, yet.

Windows 7 is in open beta right now, so you can try it before you buy it.

Make sure you have/get a 64-bit processor (CPU), before putting extra RAM in your computer, or it won't make any difference.

Unless you are running Vista 64-bit, or XP 64-bit (which cannot be bought retail), your operating system is limiting your RAM.

32-bit OSes can only access 4GB of memory at a time. However, that 4GB includes BIOS (motherboard and add-in cards), video RAM, sound RAM, and a few other things, leaving you with 3-3.5GB for system RAM.

Heroside I could maybe understand the criticism. However, villainside, I have had things sit unsold for weeks, but when I posted about them, most sold within a day or two.

Base salvage has some cool (and gross) stuff. It is a shame they have deprecated it.

Hope they have fun marketing to Habib Al Zwanli, in Tunisia.

Anyway, I wouldn't mind being Tony's valet... so long as he wasn't testing suit upgrades while I parked.

If it was the one where everyone and their dog was in RWZ, then it was because of the MASSIVE PLing that the 'Welcome to the Vanguard' Ouro arc allowed.

Perfect Pain pretty much sums up what I was going to say.

Also, I will add: I have 4 main villain toons (ones that I will fully IO, purples and PvP IO's included). 2 already are fully purpled and 1 is almost fully PvP IO'd. Of the remaining 2, 1 i s IO'd minus purples and PvP's. That leaves 1 toon to put Uncommons and Rares on, 2 toons to put Ultra Rares on, and 3 to put PvP's on.

Every day that I farm, I get around 6-10 -KB IO's, 2-4 Res/Def, and 1-2 +Regeneration (to name the most desired ones). Now, TonyV, how many of those do you think I am/can use and how many are going to the market? (Hint: 2 of those are Uniques, and I only have 1 toon that MIGHT need them but does not have them slotted yet).

With the kind of money I can make selling all those extra drops, I can afford to buy purples for 300 million (Note: I am a mizer and generally pay much less). I know there are people that can afford to pay much much more, as I only play on the weekends (and not all of them, anymore).

Also, remember you can only get 5 of a given bonus; Large Recharge Speed Increase, in this case.

Prices shot up to double (or more) of what they were long before AE, at around the time of merits, actually. Though AE seems to have doubled it again.

When they announced that Purples would not be available via Merits, I knew prices would hike, and bought enough to outfit 3-5 characters. By time AE came around, I was not paying much attention to the game, or I would have bought more again.

Merits effectively put price caps on recipes, though only the most expensive would likely hit it (LotG +recharge, Numina +rec/+regen, Miracle +rec, etc) and I figured they would actually drop a bit in price. I also figured the middle class stuff (5m-20m) would increase in price, due to people buying the high end stuff straight up, instead of random rolling. I lost most interest in the Market's shortly thereafter, and did not check to see whether or by how much that actually happened.

Purples however, were not subject to the inf/merit ratio, and thus their prices would (and did) float independently of the Pool C/D prices.

I currently have 3 bids outstanding for an Armageddon triple and 2 Apocalypse triples. Each bid is for slightly over 100mil, and have been sitting for a month. I WANT those recipes, but considering the amount of work it takes me to make 100mil, I believe they are not worth more than that. Yet people are paying 200-500mil redside for these. I guess they want it more NAO than I do, and have more spare time to make that inf.

Or they are extremely efficient. Back when I played the markets (almost a year ago now), flipping enhancements and salvage (and occasionally doing the buy-craft-sell circuit), I could make 100 to 200 million a week (spread among 7 characters), for 20-35 minutes per day of actual time invested.

Likewise, I know some people (TopDoc, namely) that can make 30+ million an hour from farming. 1 hour a day would make them around a billion a month. Of course, most of TopDoc's income came/comes from selling the purple fruits of his farming.

Which begs the question: Why are more people not farming purples? The money is obviously there, and I am sure plenty of people are willing (just look at the massive AE farming that brought down the prices of -KB IO's and rare salvage). Is it the barriers to entry? Since people can not easily customize what mobs to farm, need "padders"/"fillers" to spawn for large groups, and need a level 50 character built for quick/massive AoE and survival. Is it the lack of knowledge? How to farm, what maps and enemy types produce well, what builds are good for farming, and/or how to reset missions for repeat use. Or is it something more fundamental? Boredom, stigma, fear, whatever.

With enough farming, supply will rise to where the farmer's start undercutting each other's prices, in order to get the next sale. The price will drop until the demand overlaps supply again, creating a new equilibrium. Until then, or until the Dev's change the drop rate or eligibility requirements, prices will stay high and probably even go higher.

How cute, here's a LOLlipop.

Two additional notes:

I'm not sure of what kind of defense debuff resistance Granite has

34.6%, Not affected by enhancements or buffs. According to City of Data.

And I thought snagging that level 20 Miracle for 11.5 mil was hot.

Kudos to you!
