Ok guys, so my laptop doesn't play COH worth a nickel. My desktop plays it better and it's a much weaker machine. The desktop is a P4, 2 gigs ram, 256 nvidia geforce card. Much weaker. So I'm thinking that it is the video driver on my laptop that is causing the issue. Here is the COH help file, maybe you guys can help me locate the newest driver.
Btw, I did search google, and it appears the I have the newest driver according to my searches, but some of you video gurus may have a nice site that contains different drivers than the standard sites.

Seven, I think you scared every off. They probably think it's a Schwarzenfufbrkchtbgksk thread. I did but I thought it had to do with Expendables 2. Very pleased at the contents contained within the thread and a big WHY WON'T OCTOBER GET HERE ALREADY.

One of the main points of the Robocop movies was Murphs personality returning and over ridding his programming. Now imagine SLJ working that angle.

Chrome, I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Wait, on second thought. I WANT HIM TO BE ROBOCOP!!!!!! How awesome would he be as Robocop??? *faint* -

That's a Whedon trademark - but it didn't really damage the Avengers, because it wasn't trying to be a totally serious movie - so while a Whedon Batman would be getting into "Batman and Robin" territory, a Nolan Avengers really wouldn't be much better.
They've both been given comicbook properties that suit their separate styles, and they've both made successful movies because of it.
I bow before our body snatching overlords.

Agreed.

Quote:I am well aware of Jonns weakness. Also that it is psychological. The fire doesn't drop him out of the sky like it does Clark. Remember in Tower of Babel when he was set on fire? He didn't just stop moving and cry on the pavement, he was still running around full strength, albiet not in his right mind, but full strength none the less. And the quote I used came from a storyline in which Jonn overcame his fear of fire completely.Originally Posted by Johnny_Butane
Batman: "I'm not sure what you are or where you come from. But my instincts tell me you're to be trusted. Make no mistake, I have a $70,000 sliver of a radioactive meteor to stop the one from Metropolis. All I need for you is a penny for a book of matches."
.
And to be compeltely honest, I like the Jonn is vulnerable to something the common man can get his hands on to defend himself with. -
Quote:Wait, what?Originally Posted by Nericus
Martian Manhunter: he could also be worked in during the JL movie itself, I honestly can't see him able to support a solo movie.
Superman, in JLA#86 "I can count on one hand the number of beings in the known universe I would be afraid to face in open combat. Jonn J'onzz is at the top of that list. He is the most powerful being on the face of the earth."
And factor in his original story, being beamed here by the professor, taking the professors form, learning earth culture, being a detective (pretty much straight out of New Frontier) and you have a very good story.
The problem as I see it is that the writers would never write Jonn to his potential making him more of a low powered Superman.
To make it work, you need Kenneth Branagh to direct. And probably, Joss or Geoff to do the intial script, and a screenplay mulled over in a collaborative effort with Joss or Geoff and a screen writer not afraid to tell the studio to stick it. -

Quote:I've seen multiple times where JB has said he wants the damage cap raised, not damage in and of itself buffed.Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
In before JB derails this into yet another tirade about how Tankers need their damage buffed.
To the topic, I think my tanks do awesome damage. I have no problems with my Fire tank on single target or on a team. -
Quote:That's what I'm talkin about.Originally Posted by Tormentoso
I think this calls for an actual draft game like in the old days. Someone moderate it, have people join in and suggest one char per color, then duke it out. One with most votes wins and off to next round.
So, whoever has that kind of inclination, set it up. -
Nah, I meant with turns, and brackets, and waiting and checking all day long in hopes that someone would miss their 24 hour window to post their pick so your pick didn't get stolen.

Awww, I thought we were gonna have an actual draft.

Quote:Don't feel old, great issues are great issuesOriginally Posted by Lycantropus
The role of 'Tank' doesn't directly fit into the Superhero Genre short of a few instances. Ben Grimm fighting the Hulk to distract him so the authorities could get everyone evacuated safely is pure tanking (and a really old-school reference- great comic though... sigh, I feel old now) so there is precident for the role in some capacity.
True statement again and nice summary of the main problem.Quote:Originally Posted by Lycantropus
So in it's most direct form, a Tank is the melee aggro manager, taking the alpha and hits for the team, skillfully arranging the aggro so everyone else can fill their role to their fullest (mass control, AoE's, keeping everything close for buffs, debuffs, etc).
Tanks can do this just fine.
Thing is, as people keep pointing out, so can Brutes... just as well as Tanks.
This has less to do with what they can survive, than it does with how well they can hold aggro. Sure, they need some to generate Fury, but they don't need to do it as well as a Tank. When the AoE's start flying, some of that stuff needs to peel off them and redirect their attack. -
Quote:This is a truthful statement.Originally Posted by dugfromthearth
What tanker damage issue?
Tankers do not have a damage issue. They solo fine.
They do less damage than blasters, scrappers, stalkers, and brutes - as expected
I also completely agree, no out and out damage boost to tanks.
