It can be interpreted however you like, but the mere fact that those four words are there at all speaks volumes.

Read it again, but without the "on the same server."; you find that it still makes sense. There is no reason to include that part of the sentence, unless to imply that this too is in flux.

I should point out that this is NOT a confirmation, nor is it guaranteed. Paragon Studios learned a long time ago the wisdom in withholding announcements until features are concrete, just as they learned to avoid saying "we would like to do X". What we have here is even more insignificant than either of the above.

The conclusion? This is something that Paragon are open to. It may be in development, it may be in research, it may be turn out to be unfeasible. But make no mistake, it was not placed there by accident.

As a side note, over-analysis of this sort is the very reason Paragon are cagey about what they say.

As unimpressed by the art as I am, I'm even less impressed by how the screenshot was taken without antialiasing or anistropic filtering.

Try the HP dm1z. A netbook, but not as you know it.

AMD's netbook chip blasts any Atom out of the water. It's faster, more efficient, has a beefy GPU, and can run 1080p video without breaking a sweat. The CPU is twice as fast as an Atom, moreso in some tasks, while the GPU puts the Ion to shame. It completely thrashes that GMA 3150 in most netbooks. All while having better battery life and being just as cheap.

This AMD chip delivers upon the promise of the netbook; it is the answer to the question posed by Atom. There is no possible reason to buy an Atom over an AMD Fusion netbook.

The HP dm1z happens to be one of the best Fusion netbooks out there, with good base hardware and a neat price.

As anyone with any computer-using relatives will attest, upgrading everyone's Internet Explorer to be more secure and robust is a good thing. It will save us countless man-hours in troubleshooting.

HOLY

AAAAAAAAAAAA



This is... wow, that... EU and US hand in hand? Oh, my. Oh, my.

I'd have SO been there if I didn't have university work to get done.

Like a whole lot of bind-on-pickup loot with some story / lore flavour. You play endgame content to get it. The tougher the content, the rarer the loot.

You can earn it by playing standard missions at a slower pace.

The gear produced from the loot boosts your core attributes, making you better at whatever it is you do. Forthcoming gear grants you new abilities and powers.

The far reaching goal of Incarnate loot is to make you into a demi-god, on par with or superior to the headline characters of the game.

Good to get an official word on that. Mayhaps I should mention that I'm running a Core i7 920 clocked at 4GHz.

We managed an MoATF with a very poorly composed team. Three scrappers (one of which had no alpha slot), three tanks, one controller, and one mastermind (whose internet was such that his uptime was all of five minutes). We still showed Battle Maiden what for. Honestly, that fight was nowhere near as terrifying as I had imagined. And I was quite happily going toe to toe with several War Works.

The 560 should be able to murderlate CoH. You can also expect silky smooth performance at 200% world detail.

If you want to eliminate object popup, you can experiment with the "/visscale 4" command. This sets you to 400% world detail. But be wary, there is a reason this setting is not available in the menu. It hurts.

Ah, superb. This post will save people a lot of hassle.

The option to create a direct shortcut is neat, you couldn't do that previously without fiddling with shortcut targets. This new launcher does what we need better than the old one.

It should also be noted that this launcher has been written with Vista's and 7's UAC in mind, taking ownership of the directories in question so you don't get the annoying pop-up, even when you need to patch. Me rikey.

The City of Heroes launcher is named CoHUpdater.exe. Windows Vista and Windows 7 look at the name and think "ah, this wants to update something; it should run as an administrator!", thinking itself rather clever. This is what causes the dialog box.

There are ways to get around this, ways to run CoH directly as a non-administrator, but Issue 20 will fix it. They're converting CoH to use the NCSoft Launcher, a more modern program which doesn't ask for admin rights when they aren't needed.

If you happen to have installed CoH within your Program Files folder, the NCSoft Launcher will give you the option to take full ownership of the CoH directory, ensuring that admin rights are not required at all. It will see the end of all UAC popups.

I'm really jazzed about the cross-server League hint.

Let me do a tally of top-end level 50 content.

1. Apex Task Force
2. Tin Mage Mark II Task Force
3. Barracuda Strike Force
4. Dr. Kahn Task Force
5. Imperious Task Force
6. The Lady Grey Task Force
7. Lord Recluse Strike Force
8. Statesman's Task Force
9. Mender Silos Task Force
10. Mender Silos Strike Force

As for the bigger-than-eight-man stuff...

1. Hamidon
2. Mothership Raid
3. Cathedral of Pain
4. Behavioral Adjustment Facility
5. Lambda Sector

Yep. No endgame in City of Heroes, folks. Nothing to do here. Move along.

Try disabling antialiasing in your graphics drivers. For ATi, look for the Catalyst Control Center; for nVidia, look for the nVidia control panel.
