    Do you all have alts? If so, have you considered seeing if you could set aside a regular hour or so once per week maybe?

    If you could, you could try posting on the server-faction-forum (e.g. for Union Heroes) asking if anyone is interested playing a TF as something like 1 hr every saturday afternoon (for example).

    I've seen threads in the past organising things like a TF done for 2 or 3 hours on Saturday and then continuing on the Sunday... You might get some response and if not, asking won't hurt.

    unfortunately i cant even guarantee a set time on a set day, real life and a 2 year old tend to get in the way - so our playing at the moment is very ad hoc
  2. so it seems to me that if the norm is for trials and TF's to finish with less than the pre-requisite number of people - why don't they change it so that you can start it solo'd or duo'd - BUT - you get a warning saying

    'this mission is intended for larger teams, please be aware the mob size will reflect this'

    or something like that?
  3. So how often do people start trials and TF's and have people drop out - as some of them look like they take a lot of commitment to finish.
  4. so - sounds as if this might all be an uphill struggle - ideally finding a few other people that could leave an alt they dont use on the task force and brought in for clicking glowies etc might be worth finding.

    I am sure there are lots of other players out there in the same situation.
  5. ok - great - thanks for the heads up
  6. So if i understand this correctly - so long as i start any trial / taskforce with the correct number of people - then the extra can quit /drop out and we can still complete it?
  7. Hi all

    I may have hold of completely the wrong end of the stick here, but let me explain anyway.

    My question is this - why aren't trials and taskforces scalable?

    We have a family SG and i regularly team with wife/daughter etc, however there are only ever a maximum of 3 of us on at any one time. We would love to do all of the trials and taskforces in the game, but most if not all (with 1 exception i think) are only for groups larger than 3 people. So why aren't they scalable, smaller mobs - lower level bosses etc.

    As i say - this may already be possible (how?) but if not - why not. It seems like there is a large part of the game that just isnt available to the smaller groups or soloers.

    oh - and before you say - well just invite more people to the mission - well - we cant guarantee time towards doing it as we dont play every evening - and sometimes only for 30 minutes at a go - and it would be unfair to have a third party waiting around for days on end just to finish the trial / taskforce.

    Your thoughts please
  8. 2 x 8800's in SLI mode here running on vista and its fine - and i dont disable the SLI mode either.
  9. ah OK - i haven't been in the base for a while, didn't know about that 'feature' - did try a forum search but the search facility isn't friendly.

    I shall try back at the base in 24 hours then - shame there isn't a switch - to re-activate it.

    Thanks
  10. Not sure if this is just i13 related or not - but i went to my base today just to see how much extra prestige i had gained since the update, and i noticed that my base isn't generating any power and subsequently not generating any control. I have tried to sell and then purchase a new generator , but that hasn't made any difference.

    Has anyone else noticed the same problem? As the known bug list isn't posted yet i don't know if this is a known bug.
  11. i cant seem to find the 177.66 beta drivers anywhere, all i can seem to find in uk english is 177.79
  12. well for me its always got to be Bonnie Tyler - holding out for a hero
  13. instead of selling the time cards themselves - why cant ncsoft sell just the codes?

    That way - you don't have to wait for the card to be posted AND as an added advantage its a lot greener solution, no packaging at all.
  14. Erm guys - before you start slating NC soft et al for the Meastro problem, let me just add this into the mix.

    I work for a software company and we have a large number of web sites that we maintain, along with retail shop outlet software. The rules for Meastro payments changed around August last year with a final due date of all changes by april this year. The Maestro system of payment has been made a lot harder to process, compaired to other credit/debit cards, so you may see this more often in the comping months and years - as and they may (although don't quote me on this) be trying to phase out the Meastro card in favour of standard Visa payment.

    Just my 2 inf worth
  15. Hi Guys - havent posted in a while - but thought i would add my 2 inf on this one

    what about applying a multiplyer to the debt equal to the number of people on the team.

    so if you are soloing - you get the base amount of debt as it is now, if your in a team of 8 players - you get 8x the debt - after all you get xp 8 times as quick.

    That way it will take you longer to get rid of the debt, and so make you more liable to not just rush in and die all the time
