    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?
    I do not think you quite understand what you just said.

    http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards....=559&card2=568 - 260

    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:

    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.
    The 9800 compares to the Nvidia 250, here:

    http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards....=559&card2=606

    I just looked up the 9800GTX+, and its honestly pretty much the exact same as the other. So, all the previous links are correct.

    I think the reason he made that post is because those are "rough estimates".

    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.

    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.
    Yes we do... Positron made a post about it already >.>

    and you have it linked, so WHY???? say we dont know???? when we do.

  5. What you want is this card:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814143197


    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.

    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.

    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
    If those were INGAME already, What is the problem with allowing us to insert them into our arcs.

    Its not a bad idea...
  8. lowest timer is 5 minutes.

    i think in mission details there is a drop down that asks you if it is a timed mission.

  16. 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.

    Like does it have to fit in the PO box or could it like... be bigger?

    That does not equate "Truth".

    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.
    They could sell tshirts >.> That would be SUCH easy advertising...

    Send me a shirt.
