    While some people may disagree with what I am about to say, it is the truth**.

    NCSoft and Paragon Studios have never, ever, ever failed to please me.


    **Statement is truth as it applies to me, and I am happy with NC and PS's changes to the game.
  2. Short version: support mailed me back and solved the problem.

    We're all good.

    Great image, by the way.

    Serious Question

    300 bosses? Not even Stone tankers can pull that off without significant, and I mean significant trouble. The way the AE worked was just wrong.

    My suggestions:

    Go to the difficulty contact.
    Set level to +4.
    Set team equivalent to 8.
    Set preference to Face Bosses when Solo.
    Set preference to Face Heroes/Archvillains at full power.

    If this still isn't a challenge enough for you, fire up a LRSF and then have the remainder of your team bail. Solo it. If THAT isn't enough, you're using some sort of game-breaker.

    Your post baffles me. Not only does it not make sense, it makes me feel like you're either A) trolling, or B) too used to AE boss farming to actually make heads or tails of the game. But you sound too sincere to be a troll, so...
  5. I don't know why. I had a terrible concept for a claw brute, and decided to remake with a better idea. The moment I deleted, the online store went down and I lost the slot.

  7. I've reset my router, AND my cable modem.. I've restarted my machine, verified my files, made sure my roommate wasn't guzzling down another Warcraft patch, and still I can't seem to move from my spot in my mission without rubberbanding at least twenty times (I'm not exaggerating).

    Forgive me if I missed an announcement on an issue like the one I'm describing, but has anyone else been having serious issues with playing on Virtue?

  9. No problems in Snow Leopard so far, had it for about a week and a half (developer here). No crashes, no reboots, and I can confirm the test client is a great deal better than the current client.

    Getting load times (game/zone) from anywhere between 10 and 20 seconds. Good stuff. Makes me a happy mac man.

    Well, the noise the portal makes after being summoned sort of sounds like a dying robo-cat.

    It all depends on your personal tastes. My suggestion? Experiment. No powerset is the same. Try as many things as you can. Make a lot of alts. There is no agreed-on "most fun class." The most fun class is the one YOU have the most fun with.

    Embarrassing, I know, but after getting three toons to level 50, I like to think I know the game's mobs well enough that I can analyse them just by looking at them. Most of them, anyway.
    After you fire it, open your Combat Attributes window. If I remember, it SHOULD show your target's attributes. If not, try using Surveillance AFTER opening the Combat Attributes window.

    Is anyone else having this problem?

    Do you have 3D sound enabled? If not, then I'm unsure. I find that I can't use Command-Q to quit... at all.
  16. Oh dang, we get phrases?

    ... maybe negative rep won't be so bad. QUESTION TO THE DEVS! Can you edit the phrases for reputation?

    Ah, no worries. And yeah, I see what you mean. Like I said, I get defensive. 90% of the time it's in response to someone jumping down my throat. But I will admit, I do have bad days. Anywho, the reps have been reported proper.
  19. Am I the only one experiencing constant server disconnects on the test server? Every 5 minutes I'm kicked off.

    However, any -rep that has truely has an anti-semetic (or racist, sexist, or otherwise clearly offensive) then report it & move on.
    Neither am I. I expected some backlash, but not to this extent. Reported already, moving on now.

    I confess some of your posts are Greek to me (tank, kin, healer, etc.), I'm sure I'll get all these terms eventually.

    And as for the name, I've written an e-mail, but I'm assuming that will take a minute or two. I think it's more funny than anything, but I guess not so much...

    Thanks again for all the help!
    "Tank": Tanker. The guy you send in to keep things from killing you. That six-ton hunk of metal aiming a cannon at your nads.

    "Kin": Any player (Corruptor, Controller, Defender) who selected the Kinetics powerset as one of their two abilities. Highly valued among the playerbase due to Speed Boost and Fulcrum Shift.

    "Healer": That guy that keeps you from dying by using bright, flashy powers.

    ... when did I ever call him a name? Or even allude to it? He pointed out something that I was aware of, and he made a point to suggest I wasn't able to comprehend him. Maybe I did mistake his tone. But at the time it seemed like he was in the frame of mind that I was incapable of reading a sentence and understanding it too.

    I get defensive when people question my intelligence; the rest of that thread was myself trying in vain to explain that I was not against all farming, just AE farming.

    Just A Question

    On villian side, every 15-20 min or so, there is so bad lag, that you can't even move your character or even type & when I asked other gamers, they all said the same thing.

    Is this normal for Villian side? Is there maybe something the Devs could do to curb this issue, because it is really frustrating, especially when you are in the heat of battle & are surrounded my thousands of mobs.

    Now this does not just happen at the AE building, like everybody might think, this happens no matter where you are, no matter what city, ect ect, any thoughts?
    The servers have had some hiccups lately; also keep in mind that the Isles tend to be a bit more graphic-intensive than Paragon. Paragon is all blocks and straight lines, while the Isles have a lot more geometry for your graphics card to render. Try lowering your world detail to Medium under advanced visual options. If that doesn't work, check your machine for any background downloads. If that isn't the problem, it's the server getting a bit traffic-heavy, and all you need to do is wait a few.

    Also, welcome to CoV. We have cookies (filled with arsenic).

    Or in my case, one terrified Illusion/Kin controller. Gotta love when the team goes "Use your AOE hold!"

    "... I have to run in for that."

    "Use stealth!"

    "THEY'RE GIANT EYEBALLS"

    ... anywho, welcome to the game, FT!
  25. Thanks for the insights, folks.
