Im kinda hoping they stay. They make the TF challenging and punish those who dont watch what they aggro.

Fushigi Yūgi - The 52 episode series.. the others are sort of meh.
Vampire Hunter D - it was just awesome.
Naruto - because it isnt that bad. No English dubs tho.. the american voice actors suck.

The afore mentioned tanker sets (Fire/Dark/Elec) all have other unique properties. The idea is to have different tanker sets, not just 1. And those sets play differently. Yeah Ive IOed to 11ptsKB prot with my Dark Armor tanker and he still gets bounced from time to time, but every 15seconds I can heal almost 1100pts for each target in range. I can tank Hami without the need for AB, AM, etc. Lets see an invuln or stone do that. (i do need EoEs, but I can heal alot more than hami can deal with EoEs up. And even then I done need them always up).
You found Elec Armor's quirk. Note that other than that Elec is really really good. Of cource it was gonna have something "wrong" with it. No armor set provides perfect protection.

Id guess that the SLI enable caused both cards to pull large current on CoX startup.. more than your power supply could handle. You might want to investigate your power supply to see if its enough to handle your cards.

Been almost 3 years since I started playing around with demorecording.
Almost 8 months since I finished it, but because of my choice of music, it was muted on Youtube (silly licencing issues). But now that its cleared for play on YouTube, I figured Id upload it.

Id do alot of things differently if I do another one, but it still was fun putting it together over the years. (And yes, Im pretty sure it was i6 when i first started).

Ice/Rad/Fire or "The Mother May I" combo.

You've got loads -Rch -Spd. Sure everyone gets thier attacks off once. Then gets to sit there for a few days while they recycle. Lead with Ice Slick, drop Rad powers while the flopping happens (mean while jack mosey's in), Toss in a shiver befor ejumping with Arctic Air running. Maybe a Frostbite and another fireball. Rinse.. repeat. Flash Freeze is another nice opener to get ice slick and the rad toggles going. And Proc Frostbite and Arctic Air... you can get some surprisingly strong damage from them.

Personally I like 51s over 50s for the reasons
1) that they arent really that much stronger (minions still drop in 2 AoEs)
2) minions award 50% more influence compared to 50s (1700 to 2600)
3) there is no reason 3
4) when assisting with leveling up others, it goes faster

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOM!

Well maybe for those on Freedum and Virtue.

I predict multiple PI and RWZs rife with "PL meh!"

Yeah its a pain in buttocks. Had 2 Manticore's start off with the doors being on the steps of the AE building. Had to quit and reform to get a new door.

Well the -1/+0 setting is still valid for Mo runs. Do we want to mandate at least +0/0 for this, because -1/0 is really really easy to Mo.

Its "fought" not "faught". Glad to see your English still lags, Skippy.

And as said above, 99% of uneven surfaces disable Grounded. Stairs always get me with that as well. Im not sure how they coded it up, but its very quirky. Great when it does work tho.

Definately use driver cleaner and reinstall the drivers would be my next suggestion.

Of note here: Windows 32-bit only supports 4GB of addressable memory. You have 1.5Gb locked up to video card space. Subtract out another 700-800Mb for other stuff running and you are down to about 1.7Gb of memory to do stuff with.

Also, as said above, DirectX 9.0c is the last WinXP supported version. There are 3rd party DirectX 10 drivers out there, but they are not blessed.

More funny things: Your profile lists -
Registry Information for Current User
Resolution: 1920x1080
3D Resolution: 1920x1080 (Not using renderscale)

But your monitors say-
Monitor: Plug and Play Monitor
Monitor's Max Resolution: 1600,1200
Monitor: ViewSonic VA912-4 Series
Monitor's Max Resolution: 1280,1024

How can you be driving your monitors in a resolution they dont have available?

The two versions of RUNDLL32.EXE and rundll32.exe are very suspicious. Windows loads many instances of rundll32.exe, but to see it as all caps and all lowercase isnt right.

Well thats the thought. Ill have to run some TFs to get back to 240 to buy one tho. Ill ive got on hand right now are a handful of 30s and 4 L40s in storage.

One more mini event that I might try to cram in there.
Net's Miracle Lottery
Entry Fee: Gotta be a tank.
Prize: 1 Miracle + Recovery L40 (maybe L20 we shall see)
How to Play and win:
I will generate a random number using a guassian white noise simulator to seed the RNG. It will produce a 100digit number with the values [1..6] only. 0, 7, 8, and 9 will not appear.
All participants will /em dice. Those who match the first number will go to the next round. All remainining /em dice again. Those who match continue. If no one matches, all re-roll. Once all but one have been eliminated, the winner is declared and awarded the Miracle +Recovery IO.
Should take maybe 5 mins or so.

I dont think its the capes/auras so much as the customized powers. We never had a problem with capes and auras prior, so I don think they are the culprit.

Not this Tuesday, but 2 Tuesdays. Oct 6th.

Actually, there are usually hints in the long mission description about what you really need to do. But that would require, ya know, reading it. Stealth kill alls are a pain, but are usually well hinted at in the description.

Merits for GMs not awarding properly for Teams:

Zone: Kings Row
Team size: 6 (mixed level, leader L50)
Player: Anonymouse (me, not leader of team)
Mobile: Clockwork Paladin

There were 3 paladins in the pit. So we went after them. I got no merits for the first one.. which I thought that maybe I missed the message, so I opened up my salvage window and watched my merits. Again, no merits on the second one. I quit the team for the third one and got xp/prestige/merits for the third one solo.

five years...
sixty months...
thousands of tankers...
billions of bad guy sent to the zig...

And it just keeps on truckin'!


Im not planning on this being a big red name event or anything but here is what I've been tossing about for plans:

Tanker Takeover of the War Zone!
7pm CDT/8pm EDT (1 hr before the normal TT start)
We've done it before, and it was great fun. Now you can bring any tanker into the zone, but be prepared for some brutality against those L54 spawns. We will be leaving for Pylon 17 at 6pm/7pm sharp.

Tanker Tuesday TF Smackdown!
8pm CDT/9pm EDT
Got a new tanker, need some merits and some starting cash. Lets fix that!
All tankers under 35 willing to do an all tanker TF (any TF) qualify for a cash infusion! Levels 10-15 get 5Mil, 15-30 get 10M and 30-34 get 15M. Of cource tankers above 35 are invited to the TFs as well, but yall have enough money already. And yes Ill be tracking globals, dont get greedy.

Zombie Apocalpyse!
(no later than 10pm CDT/11pm EDT but immediately after wrapping up TF Smackdown!)
Got a tanker... need another costume slot? I've got a dozen or so sets of costume salvage sitting around. Get a set and redeem it and hope for a zombie spawn. All at once! Lets kick off the Halloween season with a groan heard all over Paragon City.
