And here we go......

It's too bad that some can not express how they enjoyed playing the game, using the tools provided for such a long time, without being personally assulted. It's a game.



Keep proving me correct by attacking me.



And for those who are sure to post ..."well, if you don't play anymore, why are you still trolling the boards?" I say this; it is because I like the game, have enjoyed playing it, made some great friends in and out of it and still enjoy reading about it. I was not in it for any negative exploits (using MA to level up quicker was not an exploit - you can do it elsewhere in the game now) or for any destructive reasons that would have caused harm to the community.

I'm not familiar with Speedfan but, if you are running ATI and the Catalyst Control Center is loaded up (usually indicated by "CCC.exe" and "MOM.exe" in processes running) there is a fan speed control in there. By having Speedfan and CCC running maybe they are conflicting?

I forget if the ATI driver has the same features on a laptop so.........
If the control center is running, there should be a ATI symbol in your taskbar by the clock. If not, you should be able to bring it up by using the same method as if you wanted to change resolutions.

Once the control center is open, click the "Graphics" drop down loacted upper left corner.
>Choose "ATI Overdrive"
if the driver for the laptop has the same features as a desktop you should see two sections marked "Enable ATI Overdrive" and "Enable Manual Fan Control". In order for the fan speed to be adjusted you need to
>Click the lock symbol to unlock the section
>Place a check mark in the "Enable ATI Overdrive" box
>Place a check in "Enable Manual Fan Control"

You can then manually adjust the fan speed. You must choose the "Enable ATI Overdrive" in order for the fan to respond manually. Don't ask me why but, that's the only way I have ever got it to work in the past 3 builds of the control center. You do NOT need to adjust the Overdrive feature so, you are not overclocking the chip.

And, if you don't have these features on the laptop version of the driver, sorry =( that's the best I could do to help.

Interesting, I actually went and read the rules after
your post.


5. Non-Constructive posts are prohibited.


* A rant is a post which is long-winded, redundant and filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.

* "NERF X!" threads are removed for much the same reason as "I'm leaving" threads. They can turn into threads with little or no constructive information.

*Threads that make threats or use other combative language are not allowed. If you ask a question on the board, be aware that questions on our boards are most commonly answered by the community. Demands for answers from NCsoft are not permitted, however we may often address some questions and concerns with an official topic. In the event of legitimate emergencies, or other unprecedented scenarios, we will endeavor to provide comments, even if it is only to state that there is no officially available information.


Funny, these boards would be deserted if this was enforced.

Also, Captain_Photon, I did edit my post and place a disclaimer in there just for you. It explains why I placed the text in bold, large red color. Nice to see the person who did it before me to discredit me not get flamed though. Allow me to clarify that statement too since it may be misunderstood, I am not condoning flaming of anyone who uses a different style, size, color etc. font to get their point across. I was fine when Forbin_Project used it, why can't you?

The list was truncated --- which means that the >>>>insert disclaimer here for Captain_Photon<<< The following increase in font size and color/bold was in response to "Forbin Project" increasing their font and change of color ----- geez, why no flaming to them?
LIST OF PLAYERS SHOWING IN THE WINDOW DID NOT EQUAL THE TOTAL of 184.
There were 54 people showing in the list when scrolled down and counted so it was truncated.

Why don't you people go try it yourself before condemning me.


It continues to amaze me how some just can't believe or even come close to saying MAYBE some are correct with the fact that populations are down. Geez, those who are blaming it on school being in session are not getting this much flamage...why aren't you criticizing them? Tell them it's all in their heads, people are "hiding" not in school or playing another game. So, in essence, we would be correct if the assumption of school and another launch of a game may be the cause........cause to what? Lower server populations? Then I'll jump on that bandwagon if it helps explain.

>>>Added edit below just because Ironblade made me laugh =)<<<<<

Thanks buddy!

Weeeee,,, this is fun.

I stated what I am seeing on Freedom, it's obvious the long term vets and those alike who are pleased with the AE changes are going to jump with glee showing how many people are on looking for teams other than AE farms now. I just have not seen >>> inserting edit here. Thank you Westley for pointing it out! You're awesome and deserve a gold star.<<<<< a lot of it or as much as those stating they are seeing it.

As far as "people are in missions" and inferring their numbers are staggering......really? So, when I pull up the box that says Find Members and choose All and the total number of people show up at the bottom, this does not represent the total population on the server? Hmmmmm.......it also shows people "On Mission Map" so I guess that would include those too.




My apologies to OP for continuing this in their thread. I will conclude my point made with this post. These are my observations and I had to post stating I was tired of others making those who feel the server populations were dwindling as if they were imagining it. And in response to those who are constantly stating the reason is school, time of day, tis the season --- they may have an effect but not this much and certainly not to the degree RIGHT after such a patch as i16, it's just too coincidental.


>>>>>Disclaimer added for Ad Astra<<<<<< The above picture representation does not reflect my current view of how low the population of the Freedom server is during peak playing times since Issue 16 was released. It was taken to illustrate a point of how you could see the total amount of people online and to rebut the point in a previous post about "hidden" people on mission maps. I am still uncertain about completely hiding yourself from the game so far as not to be counted in the number listed above.

Just so I am understanding this correctly

> I have a current account
> I purchase Good vs Evil retail box

> I can apply a code included in retail box to my current account that extends it by 30 days?????


So, in essence, if I happen to see 6 copies at $9.99ea on a shelf I should grab them and be paying $9.99/month for 6 months of sub time?


Thankies =)

Aren't they using the nerf bat on Fulcrum Shift in the next issue?

Is that going to affect Brutes? Or extra damage in general?

Now I know that this has been mulled over before. I just made a Ice/Pain and at the char. creation screen I realized something.

Most of the people that I've talked to think that Empathy is superior to PD. When Going Rouge comes out do you think that PD is going to become a gimped AT when stacked up against Empathy?

I think it's [not] funny how a dev/admin/mod makes a post and must sit back and let the customers hash it out never to be heard from again. Guess it really doesn't matter to them what anyone thinks anyways so, all of this bickering, talk, and ideas back and forth are only for us read. Nothing that I have ever read in these forums about how one side likes or dislikes has ever been really acknowledged by a dev/admin/mod as being right, or changed their [devs] mind about implementing what they have posted. Basically, it's sad that all of the good, sometimes not so good, intentions of our posts seem like a waste of time and more like pitting us against each other.

Haven't added furniture yet but, I'm having too much fun with Photoshop, patterns and Splasher. =)




or with hard wood floors =)

You weren't. I just know the way that some of these posts go.

Still a little tidbit of information about +Recharge. I honestly didn't even notice it before I looked it up. Once I did I began to notice that it didn't proc. for as long or as often as it should have.

Ok I thought that I should have added a link.

http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Force_...or_%2BRecharge

No flaming please I'm just stating what I personally think and my experiences.

FF + Recharge actually has suppression on it. To get the most out of it you would have to use FS less. After the inital proc it doesn't proc again at 5 seconds (2 seconds instead) until the next group of mobs.

Not sure if I explained that correct so lemmie give a example.

1)You run into a group of 10 mobs (so it should proc every FS) and use FS, +Recharge procs.
2) You use FS again but it doesn't proc. (It should proc, but it's suppressed)
3)You use FS again, +Recharge procs but only for 2 seconds vs. 5 seconds.

Repeat steps 2-3 until group is dead.

IMHO It's not worth it at all. In order to use FF + Recharge correct it needs to proc about once every minute (or else it falls into the rules of suppression)
