Quote:I do not think you quite understand what you just said.Well since we are asking.
Does anyone know how a Geforce 9800 GTX Plus will fare? I've looked it up on wiki and it's obviously better than the 9800 gt which posi mentioned, and it even seems comporable to the higher GT 200 series cards, but I'm not a Graphics card expert.
Also, I have 2, linked Graphics cards. Anyone know if that helps for City of Heroes, or does CoX only use one at a time?

http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards....=559&card2=609 - 275
http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards....=559&card2=605 - 285
http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards....=559&card2=603 - 295
The 9800 GTX doesn't really compete with the higher end 200 series...
But you should be able to play UM on low medium, I think.
From Posi's post:
Quote:If you are looking to spend under US$100, then an NVidia 9800 GT is your best bet. For AMD (ATI/Radeon), we don’t have enough of these cards at this price point to get you good data. This would be the minimum card for enabling all the features, only at reduced quality settings.

I just looked up the 9800GTX+, and its honestly pretty much the exact same as the other. So, all the previous links are correct. -
Quote:I think the reason he made that post is because those are "rough estimates".Because it's subject to change until its actually released.
If some dingbat >.> went out and got a 295... I don't think there is any way in flubberdigibblet it won't play UM on high settings.
Which would make Posi's statement a fact. -
Quote:Yes we do... Positron made a post about it already >.>Going Rogue =/= Ultra Mode
For Going Rogue, anything that will run the game currently will almost certainly run Going Rogue.
Ultra Mode is a different question entirely.
Nobody really knows what will or won't be a good card for Ultra Mode.
However, the most recent info we've got is from Positron, here.
Other than that, so far as I'm aware, everything is speculation. Go for the biggest baddest, shiniest video card you can get/afford, cross your fingers, wait and hope.
and you have it linked, so WHY???? say we dont know???? when we do. -

What you want is this card:

It is what I had before I upgraded for Ultra Mode.
I upgraded because I am anal.
But, that card would have played Ultra Mode awesomely on Medium Settings, pushing some of them to max.

Same card diff manufacturer. -
Quote:This is the same argument against it that was brought up before.
That's exactly what would happen. People would immediately upload music that would infringe copyrights of others that would immediately sue our beloved game.
I'm really at a loss as to how anyone would want to do this, but people still make Marvel Characters so there is just no explaining to some people why this is wrong in general and completely against the EULA and Codes of Conduct.
Do I even need to add the fact that there are over 350k arcs and each one could have at least one different sound track per mission? So 700k more songs/data added to the AE and extra download time every time you wanted to run an AE arc?
Look at the size of the AE files. How much room of that file size should be allowed to be eaten up by sound track?
Well, I completely against the idea - still. It was a bad idea before. It's still a bad idea now.Quote:I would imagine they could have certain tracks with different lengths of time...
Clips:
Crickets *10 seconds
Waves crashing *25 seconds (fades out)
Waves crashing *25 seconds (fades in)
Lightning and Thunder *Entire mission
Lightning and Thunder * 1 minute (fades in)
Maniac Screaming *5 seconds
Maniac Screaming * every 1-3 minutes randomly
Full length music:
Croatoa Theme
IP Theme
Talos Theme
Atlas Theme
CoV Theme
Theme music:
Techno beat
HipHop beat
Rock beat
Heavy metal beat
slow jams beat
romantic beat
classical beat
etc etc etc
Its not a bad idea... -
lowest timer is 5 minutes.
i think in mission details there is a drop down that asks you if it is a timed mission. -
Would have been nice if they put UM up on Test today >.> Then while we are all snowed in, we could be testing the heck out of it.
-
um so your leaving right befor the most epic thing that EVER happeneds to this game?

Quote:all y'all is ghetto?Y'all is used by people who can't understand whether 'you' is being used plurally or singularly by context. There might be a few exceptional cases where the 'all' prevents confusion.
And if you're going to be a Southern apologist, then explain the correctness of "all y'all."

I think you have a low standard on what is important prior to your own death.
You know, death isn't really a hardy har har subject. -

Is there a size limit for a homemade card?
Like does it have to fit in the PO box or could it like... be bigger? -

Quote:Scientists are bound by their imagination, and the possibility they might be right.Dr. Aeon is a scientist. Scientists are bound by the truth! Television is the one lying to you, telling you that the world is perfect and that any problems can always be solved within 30 minutes, no matter how great.
That does not equate "Truth". -
Quote:They could sell tshirts >.> That would be SUCH easy advertising...In one of my business development courses back in college, one of my professors had a great, if cynical, quote: "Marketing's number one job is to promote the cause of marketing; any work actually promoting your product is purely secondary to maintaining their hold on the purse strings."
Our marketing guys are actually very good at what they do. The truth of the matter is that TV commercials are expensive and won't bring in enough new users to justify the cost. Our team gets us banner ads on sites like Ten Ton Hammer and they try very hard to keep our nearly 6 year old game in the gaming press -- which frankly is not an easy job. The fact that schedules change or planned features don't pan out as being feasible sometimes means that their plans have to shift, which causes delays in information release.
I would love to see a City of Heroes commercial on TV. The money just isn't there, though.
Send me a shirt. -
