    The main point of the thread was concluded - and the pointing out of the terminology error was done simply and without rudeness, in my opinion.

    Although, technically, he gave a common example, not a true definition. Arches are not only found on the top of stone archways

    She left that one out.

    The full list is DP, DP, DP, or DP.

    It was already completed; it was not derailed but given a course change.

    Try and find it elsewhere, then host it yourself. I can get there; in fact, gimme a minute. EDIT : Master-Blade's Popcorn smiley :
  2. Number 1 would be RPMs - the more turns per minute, the more that passes under the needle.

    If kept relatively defraggemented, size would not matter too much (just how long it takes to find the files, and thus start verifying) but the more fragmented it is, the longer it will take to find all the files, thus lowering your Verification MBs/sec
  3. And Master Templar - one thing I just noticed -

    You are separating out "Globals" and "Uniques" in your first post - which is bad/misleading usage uniques are not just 120s/procs - any IO can be flagged unique.

    Just making sure you realize this.

    I thought so, but I was being paranoid about IO newbies reading this and getting the wrong ideas and thinking all the special IOs were procs/120s, and not knowing how globals are different

  6. The tech issues and bugs forum is the best place for specs questions. If you've loomed at some already, go ahead and link them there to see what the opinions are. Also mention if you are looking for more smaller vs. desktop epkacement kinda thing.
  7. Dsorrow - level matters for slotting and for globals, if you exemp. Globals are set bonuses, and are the specials that are always on when slotted (no "chance to" or mention of a duration). The KB Protection IOs, the pet set auras, and the luck of the gambler global rechargeIO are all such.

    For the price I guess I have to take what I can get and hope for the best. Building is not an option because hubby needs receipt for taxes and wants to keep it simple.

    Thanks again!
    Linnea skimmed the stats (@work in my iPhone) of he rigs you posted, but if your husbands okay with putting computers together try eying the builds I. father Xmas' sig - when it ships it will have a nice invoice with it, plus you get an emailed reciept ordering from there.

    Eithe way - hope you enjoy the new computer once you get it.

    That's another point for "random".
    The level being the deciding factor was debunked in beta. IF there is any sourt of "reason" it is a hashing of one or more factors about your character/your name. It not something as simple as "do this and you will always get mikey," etc.

    sounds like the OP could access the mission however.

    Castle, I think it was, posted about it.

    IIRC:

    The set got tagged to be watched with a note that they purposely made the bonuses a tad high, then it/IOs got handed over to someone else to look after, who mis-understood the note.
  13. My excuse is my "robot" character used to have a regular body.

    Still might have one, if so, he hopes his family is taking care of it until he can find his way back!

    You forgot to check the fine print.

    Except on days of the week that end with "y" in the English language.

    The knowledge base on the support section of the site does mention this.

    It calls out that "location" (US v. EU card, uses the word territories) while game branding does not.

    If it is an EU account it must be an EU timecard to work. So if you order off amazon makes sure it mentions being for Europe.

    By the way, I'm disappointed. Two Aggie posts in a questions thread and no helpful links in either!

    Your slipping

    Eh, forgot about this >.> Silly working extra hours.

    Of course, you can have the bind files anywhere of your choice.
    anyway :

    H "powexec_toggleoff Black Dwarf$$powexec_toggleoff Dark Nova$$powexec_toggleon Shadow Cloak$$goto_tray 1$$bind_load_file_silent C:\CoXBind\teleport.txt"


    Y "powexec_toggle_on Black Dwarf$$goto_tray 7$$bind_load_file_silent C:\CoXBind\teleport1.txt"


    N "gototray 9$$powexec_toggleon Dark Nova"

    with "teleport.txt" just having
    T "powexec_name Shadow Step"

    and "teleport1.txt" just having

    T "powexec_name Black Dwarf Step"

    Using the toggle on/off makes sure I don't accidental turn something on/off when I want it the other way around.

    Badge Hunter forum.

    No website other than boards.cityofheroes.com should ever ask for your CoH forum login - especially as that is (now) the same info as your in-game log in.

    Or even to a simple text file, perhaps pre-formatted for propr display/layout in the forums?

It looks like a wave when I try to scroll and it's hard to control as well. This happened once before and I went into tools>options>advanced>general to fix it. This time I tried ticking and unticking each box in the scrolling section but nothing worked. My normal browser is Firefox but I checked and IE is doing it too.
    Wrong forum - you want the Development->Technical Issues forum

    This is for in-game questions like "Where are the lost in King's Row?"

    Yes - none of the contacts will work with you if you are under 35, so no "Member of Vanguard" badge.
  25. One thing to note - if you ever go play other MMOs, different stats may or may not have a soft cap. In City of Heroes, defense is the only one.
