  1. This is a video of my band Tinyfish doing a song called 'Nine Months on Fire' which is the story of a go-getting businessman obsessed with immortality - so he finds his way to the Circle of Thorns, who promise him, yes, he will live forever...

  2. Ta muchly. I wonder why it used to work?
  3. Ok. My global has a space in it, and if I send to the global without the space, it goes right back to me. Must be to do with the char name being same as the global without the @.

    Thank you though! It did used to work without the space, but I guess this is more "correct".
  4. I tried emailing myself an enhancement, just as I used to, and I instantly and automatically claimed it rather than it sitting in the mailbox to be claimed. Bug, or is there a setting I should set now to get the old behaviour back again?

    As it is, I can't send things to my other chars :/
  5. I had exactly that. ATI Graphics card - card would crash and recover the minute I tried to access an Ouroburos mission. Rolled back to 10.9 of the graphics drivers and all was again well.
  6. funny you should mention Silent Blade. I've done two Peregrine safeguard missions and her and her minion appear as floating bags of money. To complete the mission I have to use my non target AoE over and over until they snuff it. No resistance, nothing.

I can pay you by paypal for GR...it's 9.99 today only and 50% off boosters too. If we can do it today.

    Send me a private message, residentx10
    Thanks but I have found out that I am an idiot. The reason I got the unhelpful message is because I was trying to buy a pack I already had. No clue in the message however. Have now managed to buy the other packs I wanted without trouble.

    As for your problem, just go to

    https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/St...tem&item_id=34

    and log on. You should be able to press the "buy" button after logging on. You just need to find the right item_id=?? to put in the URL. You'll know you are on the EU page because everything will be quoted in English pounds.
  8. I have a slightly different problem. I have a US account but the NCSoft store refuses to sell me stuff for it. It insists I try and buy EU booster packs and then tells me they can't be added to my account.

    By trial and error I found the page for the Magic Pack

    https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/St...tem&item_id=90

    but it tells me I don't have an account to send it to :-(

    God knows how I managed to buy Going Rogue...
  9. I just switched Environment Reflections to from High to Ultra and it stopped. My Water Effects was already on Ultra

    "Moral Combat"

    I don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but I wonder if they've cleared copyright use for all the video games used in this clip? Sue their behinds for bringing your intellectual property into disrepute, Jack!
  11. Because of the lag caused by powers (even just AM on a team of eight brought my display down from 30fps to 10fps) I had to turn my character detail down to 75% to get back to normal, non-jerky motion.

    This happens because bugs reported only on the forums are prioritized below all bugs found by QA - apparently this is required by NCSoft and was noted in a Dev post recently (I think it was Positron's, yep, found it). They basically have to work on their lunch hour or on a weekend to fix anything players find, it seems...

    well, that would explain a *lot*...
  13. The old suit is still gone. It disappeared, came back for a while, then disappeared again.

  14. I bound teleport to the extra button on my mouse that's under my thumb - that way I can click that button quickly followed by left button to do it.
  15. My eyebrows raised when a Luddite said "They look like they could do with a good pamphletting."

    And my favourite quote is actually in Breakout. I passed Blake (one of the NPC's you talk to), and he said "I always knew Vila would come through."

    And 5 points to anyone old enough to recognise *that*!

    We ran a SF with a bugged map. And we could finish.

    ahh - so you got stuck in the fiendish CoT brick wall too?
  17. I hate to sound like a fanboy here, but the kind of access we have to the devs in this game has spoiled many people. No, I'm not naming any names, so no-one need feel I'm talking about them personally.

    When I was two years in DAoC, we had no official boards in the UK, and even in the US (afair) the best they had was the equivalent of CuppaJo - who posted once a week. Of course people still [censored] and whined - but they didn't think for one minute that the devs would ever read a single word any of them wrote.

    Although I'm one of the players on the wrong end of the shaft (see sig) I am still having lots of fun. Yes, there are things that I feel should be done differently, but with all the stuff that goes down, we still have the most responsive team of devs of any MMORPG (other than A Tale in the Desert - where the guy who wrote it gave out his personal details to all the players during beta :-))
  18. Moth had most of his worldly fortune (15 platinum pieces) on him when he was booted off an Atlantean space station to land in Paragon City. He still has 12 left. Occasionally someone will ask him to make them a sword, but he doesn't ask much for that seeing as he enjoys crafting for people.

    Slan doesn't need a job or money - she/it/they is powered by practically any available energy. Doesn't need to sleep, but the Slan itself has other projects - Earth is not the only world overrun by Rikti.

    Mr. Long takes things out of corrupt companies' bank accounts to keep him in the style to which he is accustomed.

    Points good, tone stinks.
  20. Just like to add my thanks to the millions here - even though I'm a scrapper, I think it's fantastic that I get to *choose* how hard things are :-)
  21. I managed to shave 150K off your avatar by reducing the colours to 127 in Paint Shop Pro's Animation Shop. It still looks the same to me :-)
  22. Thank you very much!

    That was exactly the info on Snipe I was looking for!
    When I slot snipe next time, I shall definitely put an interrupt reducer in it. I will say however, that if you have knocked an opponent down (and there are no others nearby) you can usually get snipe off before he fires again, even without interrupt reducers. So again, more choice as to how you want to slot it.

    BTW, you mention a "jousting" technique - seeing as jousting normally consists of riding up to the other guy and using your momentum to smack him on the way past ( :-) ), I'm not sure what this technique is in CoH terms - could you give us a runthrough of the technique you're talking about?

    To be fair, the book is ALWAYS better than the movie. Seriously, has there ever been a movie based on a book that turned out BETTER than the book? I can't think of one and I'm a movie and book junkie.

    IMO, Blade Runner knocks the socks off "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep". I read the book first and was deeply disappointed.

    I've seen plenty of films that were neck and neck with the book... (The Dead Zone springs instantly to mind)
  24. FYI, Confessor's take on Rad/Dark is the one I'm currently following... he more or less says that the Rad/Dark is the only non-scrapper Tank Mage; following my old adage of "the best way not to get damaged is not to get hit".
