  2. Mine are usually the standard "set/set. No blind invites."

    Except on Champ, with countless blind SG invites I placed "Blind SG inviters will be placed on ignore".

    Then there is redside "Blind inviters will be hunted down and tortures so long they'll think it's a career."

    As for setting flags, mine usually stays at the default because I'm usually not actively looking for a team, that does not mean I will not join one.
  3. Well, that's a name I haven't seen in a while.

    Welcome back Slim!
  4. I checked a list of names for DP over on Virtue, and was shocked to see that some hadn't been taken. I too am at work and can't remember all the names on the list, but both 'Wadcutter' (I use this on another server) and 'Inner-10' (target shooting term) were available as of last night.

    Thank you for the time...
    Not exactly true.

    If there are any members of the SG that belong to some other player, then as soon as firespray's accounts go inactive past the max time limit (45 days) the next player to log on will gain the big red star. An active players rank has no bearing on whether they will gain Super Leader status, if the Super Leader and Leaders go inactive.

    Otherwise they are safe and they could come back after a year and nothing will be changed.
  6. Good leads here. When my laptop died just before X-mas, I had about 2 hours to replace it so I got a desktop off the shelf. The game looks totally new compared to my laptop.

    While the HD 4350 512MB installed works fine now, I have now doubt it will likely under-perform with UM.

    Father Xmas, je_saist, newegg should design an app around you two. Plug in what you have, what you can spend, and then tell me what my best upgrade options are.
  7. And in case you lose the link again, it's located at the bottom of the Development section of the forums.

    I'm thinking Pocket D would be a better place to try this, as those with mainly redside characters could also chip in.

    But slingshotting a stoner to Monster Island would be entertaining.

    As far a JS is concerned, I'm always logged in to it. There are times when people will go off on a tangent and talk/discuss/argue about something (regardless to it having to do with the game or not) and on those times, I just ignore it or move it to a tab of its own along with the other globals I watch.

    It is a Global channel, not by invite. I do consider it a Protectorite channel (not Protector the server,) and I think many of the JS subscribers consider themselves Protectorites regardless of how much time they still spend on Protector.

    If that were true, then I wouldn't be seeing pants.
  10. I'm thinking that 1 1/2 hrs was too short a notice for many people.

Prior to the "Pets zone with you" change, other classes could deal with a door ambush right away - the MM was essentially defenseless (and offenseless.)

    Buffing's simply adding to someone's capability, not getting them up to a minimum level to be able to *do* anything.


    How about... no.

    Buffing just isn't that big a deal - and yes, I play quite a few defenders, corruptors, and controllers (don't forget, sharing buff sets.) Including, yes, FF, Thermal, Ice, and Sonic. Buffing times just don't take all that long.

    Turn those into a PBAOE, and:
    - END cost goes up, as you note.
    - I'd put money down the strength of those buffs would *drop* as part of the price for the "convenience" (which, IMHO, isn't that convenient,)
    - I can't selectively buff - or avoid buffing.
    - I can't catch people I missed for whatever reason (slow zone, AFK, out of range, etc.) on the fly.

    Quite frankly, turning these into a PBAOE buff would make me enjoy these sets *far* less.
    I agree with Bill, especially the bolded part.

    If I remember correctly, someone had figured the math and it was something like 52 or 54 Kins.
  14. You could always try a different route entirely. Such as...





    She'd a Defender, but Son/Son is evil no matter which side you're on.

    Recommendations?

    There is actually a deviantart group of our very own CoH'ers. I highly recommend browsing the art there to find someone who strikes you for the styles you are looking for.

    I'm probably going to get something done by EmeraldCrusader in the not too distant future.

    And Clutch has a very unique style as well.

    Definitely head over to the Screenshots & Fan Creations boards, many an artist post there displaying their skillz.

    I also have dual monitors ... Oh and i'm on a normal install rather than steam.
    For as yet unknown reasons Aero likes to disable itself. Switch you desktop theme to another Windows stock theme and you should get your alt+tab function back.

    Born Date?

    On the two main servers that I play on, I use SG join dates.
