Atleast, that's what I see on FB atleast 100 times a week. Besides, how many bodies do you think they actually dedicate to typos?

Quote:I hear that a lot when I offer to tank TFs on a whim.At the same time, it's also pretty safe to assume that because of people like yourself, any of us who play those 'sub-par' sets or ATs have ALREADY heard the stalkers-are-gimped/peacebringers-suck/force-field-defenders-are-useless/ninja-are-useless song and dance often enough to find it more annoying than in any way helpful. As someone who plays a fair few of those types of characters, trust me on that one. There's no shortage of people all too willing to tell us how awful our characters are. You really don't need to worry about adding your voice to the chorus.
"You can't tank, you're Dark Armor."
I then proceed to leave the group behind with Mr. Tank and smash half the mission while the other 7 players struggle to smash the other half.
Bright has a point. I've seen FF/AR Defenders played like Blasters on speed; I've seen Earth/Cold 'Trollers played like angry Corruptors; I've seen Ninja/Pain MMs cut things to ribbons better than a Scrapper duo. Just because you don't think a set is superior doesn't mean it isn't. It all depends on the player.
Play what's fun. Nine times out of ten, if you find that perfect in-game fun you'll outplay someone with a purpled-out DPS killgrinder just because you're enjoying yourself rather than spending your days min-maxing. Take it from a guy who could tank with the best of them using Dark Armor prior to the Invention System. Do you have any idea how satisfying it is to get
[Tell] Teammate: wtf youre dark armor? nice -
Quote:I remember a forum poster saying they'd collected a list of every typo they could find and the document was pretty sizeable. These are just six examples, and there are hundreds (maybe a thousand or so) more. You can call it hilarious all you want, but the fact remains that this game really does need someone to proofread it. Did you look at the errors in SSA7? Did you?I'll be honest, I never noticed this typo, and I usually do notice them. Although I agree that the game's long-standing typos (although this isn't one of them) should just be fixed, this is hardly the straw that breaks the camel's back, and taken by itself makes "unacceptable" a hilarious overstatement.
Mind explaining how that got through? That is unacceptable. What's more unacceptable is that typos can be reported in Beta and ignored for several issues. -
Quote:I'm not saying it is; harp at me all you want.Just as in this game, problems reported to the map outfits don't get fixed as soon as they should and some are still not fixed. As I said, I've been fighting both of those for well over 10 years.
You've been told that they work to correct the errors reported to them but make rant posts when you find something that hasn't been fixed.
Someone points out to you things that haven't been fixed in the industry you brought up having experience in and you blow it off as if it were totally different from what you are complaining about.
It's not different.
I'm saying that I've seen results in my line of QC work. I have not seen any in-game results with reporting typos ever.
It would be slightly less irritating if the typos weren't so incredibly bad. -
Quote:Yeah, except I worked to fix those kinds of errors, so don't tell me they don't happen ever. You wanna know how many errors there are to be fixed in the queue at any given time? Hundreds of millions. Sure, stuff doesn't get fixed, but don't sit there and tell me my job did nothing.As for Google Maps, or any other mapping, don't get me started. Quality Control is a joke. Someone made a typo at some time in the past and what should show as Rd on a map to my house shows as Dr instead. The county maps show it clearly as being Rd all the way through, but not the online services. I've been trying to get that fixed for well over 10 years. It makes it impossible to get to my house using any online mapping service or any GPS units. Quality Control my donkey
On top of that, someone got really sloppy when writing my address down by hand and the person entering the data read 213 as 43 instead (go ahead, write 213 down really fast so that the lines might cross, someone can read it as 43). I'm still trying to get that fixed. Where's the Quality Control? Right, there isn't any.
The proofreading in this game is abysmal and could easily be addressed. Samuraiko has already offered to do it. -
In the past, I've been shot down by Zwillinger for speaking out against the fact that there is absolutely no evidence of proofreading done in this game. Granted I was very harsh, but come on. This level of lack of polish is unacceptable, especially for someone like myself who spent years working Quality Control for Google Maps. -
Quote:Well yeah, there's a gap, but I'm running at 85% recharge and the gap is pretty insignificant. If you absolutely positively 100% must have no gap, then the chain I mentioned isn't for you. I speak as a player who's not looking to be the maximum damage-outputter, just one who knows a fun strong chain.No. Even at hard-cap recharge, ...Smite/Gloom/Smite... will gap. Also, Gloom is the best DPA in the bunch, and that chain only uses it once per cycle, whereas the chain that War-Nugget and I already posted uses 2 Gloom per cycle and is thus better.
At insane levels of recharge you *might* be able to run MG/Smite/Gloom/Smite and drop Siphon Life, but I'm pretty sure that for any reasonable build that MG/Gloom/Smite/Siphon/Gloom/Smite is going to come out on top. -
First the Login Screen Pelvic Thrust, now this?
Devs, if you want us to look at States's junk just say so. -
Quote:What OS are you running? While you answer that, do the following:the screen locks up and i have to turn the computer off. the graphics are all still there but nothing moves and the mouse and keyboard don't work.
Go to Applications > Disk Utility.
Select your hard disk and hit Repair Disk Permissions.
Go to Apple Menu (top left) > Software Update and make sure you're up to date. -
-
Get enough recharge and:
Midnight Grasp > Smite > Gloom > Smite > Siphon Life > Smite > Repeat -
Cloak of Fear and Oppressive Gloom put your enemies in a state of control. In that state, they are not fighting you. If they are not fighting you, your Fury generation will suffer.
Check out my guide (linked in my sig) for the same explanations and some others that may help. -
Virtue:
Safeguard - Inv/SS Tanker
Unify - Warshade
Innocent Man - Constantly rerolled because I fail
The Human Air Horn - Sonic/NRG Blaster
Beam Time - Beam/Time Corr
Sound Judgment - Sonic/Sonic Defender
The Exec - Mind/Psi Dominator
Max Protector - FF/Beam Defender -
I don't have that feeling at all.
This is the only MMO on the market that doesn't turn in to a homework assignment once you hit a certain level, the only MMO that lets you set your difficulty to "Impossible" and win, and the only MMO that has absolutely no fear whatsoever of travel (looking at you, Blizzard/Lucasarts). -
Never, ever, EVER, EVER tell someone a set is 'bad' EVER. You come off sounding like an elitist, and who knows? Maybe that person will absolutely LOVE your 'bad' set and play it better than anyone you've ever seen.

Would you be willing to tell how you convert to a .texture file?

Quote:That can be one of two things, and I've experienced both in the past, and both are pretty bad news.Anyone have this issue? I quit CoH, and the display goes into sleep mode and stays there, forcing a reboot...
Running Snow Leopard...
1. Your OS is having kernel panics.
2. Your OS is having kernel panics because the graphics processor is failing.
1 is easily solved by repairing disk permissions and doing a reinstall of Snow Leopard. 2 is solved by a logic board replacement.
I'd suggest taking your mac to a Genius Bar and asking them to run a video card test just to be safe. If that comes back clean, reinstall the OS. -

When he's planning a war that will slaughter trillions of people as part of his plan to take over all of existence, he probably doesn't want another entity going power because of it.
He plans to conquer the multiverse - that puts him in the big league of naughty types. -
Quote:Glad to see Reppu is once again flinging personal attacks wrapped in "I am the RP god and you will listen to me or you're a n00b" statements.Again, I understand. You two just want to villainize Primal Earth. I also acknowledge you're using poor logic and hyperbole, but I get why you want to do it. It's 'cool' to get against the crowd.
You both make great villains!
(Amongst other choice words.)
That said, thread milestone achieved! The term Hyperbole has been used!
Coming up next: ad hominem! -
No.
No no no no no no.
Quote:No.So when are you guys going to do something with dark armor? After poking around in mids for a while I quickly came to a conclussion, Dark Armor is pretty freaking horrible.
Quote:Ironic that my first lvl 50 was a Spine/Dark Scrapper. (Yes, I remember having to keep a kin or two on pay roll for SB because of end consumption) ((Also note: this was pre-IO days)) But after looking it over again with Mid's I still don't see any builds that make me say "Wow, that might be fun to play". I decided to muck around with a Dark Tank, still not sure what Secondary to take, I did manage to get a Dark/Ice up to about 35ish but am leary of putting any Set IO's in it. Yeah I know, just get it to lvl 50 and take incarnate stuff to make it work.. bleh - and people wonder why farmers make so much money.
This set could really use some help IMHO, I guess the Tier 9 power as "Soul Transfer" should be taken as a sign?
Read some guide, watch some videos, and if you want MAXIMUM RESIST REGEN POWER DEFENSE HNNNNNNG then you need to go roll the FOTM and stop asking for changes to things that don't need changing with no evidence to back your claims. At least come back with something more than "it looks bad in Mid's." So does an FF/AR Defender but I've seen people play that combo like a furious blaster.
You touch-a my Dark Armor I break-a you face.
