    So while we all laugh at the rep troll, and mock him for being so clueless, would anyone care to let him know what the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything is so he knows how old I am.
    42. That's the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything. Part of the problem of knowing the answer was the question being a bit vague. It's been postulated that having a definitive ultimate answer and ultimate question is actually exclusionary and if someone did stumble upon it, the whole Universe would disappear and be replaced by an even more inexplicable one.

    Oh, and he's saying that's his age, too.
    Silly Forbin. Expecting kids these days to know what a book is these days, let alone a quote from one. I mean, maybe if they could get it on their iPod.
  2. 1. The person with the star holding up a team, because they're looking for a Defender. -.-

    2. People that chat incessantly, about ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!. STFUalready! Kyo will know one of those instances.

    3. People that will not move out of LOS, now matter how often you tell them. Kind of defeats the purpose of 'pulling' if you're going to just stand there and let them snipe you. Hello!!! *knocks on brainpan* Anybody in there?!?

    4. An anyone KB'ing tightly packed mobs.

    5. Being told what powers I MUST take on my character.

    I was promoted to Major_T.

    Thanks Devious.


    He's 57.

    In the game, I call him my brother (long story.)

    He has been playing for 42 months.
  6. My (in-game) bro has his 42mo badge, and is 57, but he also doesn't post to the forums.

    This.

    There are several people that I run across, who posts are articulate, well thought out, and informative to read. You are one of them. Are you snarky? Sure, at times, usually because the poster to which you are responding has shown that they have the common sense of a revolving door, and continue to argue that the sky is chartreuse despite overwhelming evidence from pages of posters that it is not.

    You Sir, should continue what you are doing, because it's a far cry better than most.

    Nope, you're not the only one. Funny thing is when my huge Shield/BS tank has sword drawn and shield up, the running 'gait' changes from the normal and is no longer horrid to look at. Have male and female characters, some aliens, but no cat-girls.

    Somehow, I doubt it.

Using those procs can enhance a squishy character in ways that make soloing much easier for it, without throwing the challenge out the window.
    This is so handy, and quite entertaining as well.

    I have very few Proc's and as of yet zero purp's on my main but I do have Devastation: Chance for Hold slotted in Snap Shot and Pounding Slugfest - Disorient Bonus slotted in Air Superiority (all I can remember off the top of my head.)

    And now with the 0-end cost of Brawl, I see another Devastation: Chance for Hold or a Kinetic Combat: Knockdown Bonus in her future.

    But to answer your second question on how to improve performance, I think that the Market interface should open blank, wait for you to input a search or conduct a transaction, and then load the necessary information and graphics.
    This.

    Nice.

    If SK is willing to continue this, I could probably use that for my next crazy server event by adding it to the pot.
    I hate that some sort of glitch keeps SK from enjoying the game. Now, if someone were to run him out of town on rails, that would be a different story.


    As for Vista, I've never had issues running CoX on it, although Norton quite often loved to forget that CoX and the updater were allowed. One of those things is no longer on my computer.

    If I did not have a beak free, I was pretty guaranteed a death. But sure, keep telling yourself that 'everyone solos fine'.

    Lies that like will probably make it easier to keep your blinders on.
    So what you are saying is you ran blindly around a corner smack into a mob? Yep, I can see where mezz protection would have helped you in that situation...


    Do I hate being mezz'd? Sure. I have learned to use the tools and options available to me within the game to minimize the effects.

    I think it's pretty cool that the native bees have developed a defense strategy to combat those wasps. Watched a show about the wasps on Discover channel, that's how I knew about them.

    Of course there is a limit, have 4+ posts in a row can get obnoxious... especially if the person doesn't quote what it is they are responding to.
    Considering that replys no indicate who you were responding to, quoting or multi-quoting solve issues with miss-communication.

    Edit: And responding to multiple quotes in the old forums was a pain in the tuckus.

    But if you manually quote it it works fine
    Indeed.

    I know it can be done manually, just annoying.

    As for responding to multiple posts, I like the new multi-quote feature.

  23. As someone who often plays one of the afor mentioned 'squishies' I have to say that I am with Claws on this. The game already offers me the ability to easily overcome a mezz in the form of inspirations.

    When on my Kin I usually position myself where my teammates will gain the best benefit from my buffs/debuffs, typically hovering over the mob. I have to maintain a constant vigilance on my own status in these situations. If I'm soloing, then my strategy will obviously change. If people are unable to adopt different strategies base on their AT/Powers/situations, then it is not the fault of the games design, or inherents, or weaknesses.

    As I am constantly telling my brother... "Dude, you don't get a ToHit bonus with Assault Rifle trying to shoot a foe in the face, at point-blank range."
  24. Doubt it has any relevance, but have you tried archiving you chatlog folder and emptying it out? I do this with my chatlog and screenshots folders, just to keep them from getting bloated and making it easier for me to find stuff.

    Doubt it would actually change anything, but what the heck.
