  1. I was only familiar with the term "Wartroller" as a Warshade that focused on powers that controlled the enemy... Any other usage is totally new to me...
  2. I have a level 15 (currently) DP/FF Defender, Annie Donia who would love to run with you guys sometime!

    @Renardine


    I will look for you next time I am on...

    FF/DP viable?

    Well...

    I got mine to 14 so far, and I am looking at the Leadership toggles. In game and on Red Tomax, it says they all burn the same endurance .195. Is that true? I could swear years ago my Defenders had to slot tactics with 2 End and the others with one...

    How would you slot them? ( generic IO or SO slottings, thanks)

    Anyone else running a FF/DP want to share tips tricks or Horror stories?

    FF/DP viable?

    Thank you Starflier!
    I also never seem to play my lv 50s... new ideas for characters come too fast...

    FF/DP viable?

    I am really glad I found this thread!
    I am just about to build a FF/DP defender ( because I can't do it as a Corruptor)

    By any chance would anyone have an SO/Generic IO leveling build? It is rare for me to find a team farming or PLing AE, so for most characters I level slow, buying what I can as I can.

    It is really a shame that the current trend on the forums is to post fully leveled to 50+ builds all IO'd out! ( ie.. combat jump needs only one slot so in the build it is taken at lv 49... when in reality that character took it at lv 6 and loved it!)

    I would love to see the trend of posting finished builds abate and a return to a series of builds you can use as you go.. a road map, if you will...

    Thanks for any help... sorry if I sound like an old crank...

    I was really, really hoping to see Silas weigh in on this... maybe if we say his name 3 times in a mirror he will appear...

    I think the best Fortunata is a ranged support Fortunata... BEHOLD!

    Reinstall is not fixing it, I also do not have a .DLL named midsBase... just Base.Dll.

    Should I change the name?

    Thank you for any help!
  9. Anyone else just flat getting:
    "Mid's Hero designer has stopped working...
    Windows is checking for a solution to the problem"

    Then that window closes.. and nothing happens.

  10. If you have ever in your life plugged in a lamp, inserted a video game cartridge in a video game console, and also ever tightened a screw using a screwdriver you can follow Father Xmas' directions to make your own gaming rig.

    Seriously.. it is very easy.

    Somethings plug into a socket, like a lamp, TV or Blender.
    Others slide into a slot, like an old Atari cartridge.
    Also, you need to use a screwdriver.

    You can do it.
  11. Try not to use Mwave at all.
    *shudder*
    try NewEgg http://www.newegg.com/
    or Pricegrabber http://www.pricegrabber.com/
  12. I am writing this on a Father Xmas $1200. ( The old price point, 11 months ago...)

    The machine works wonders, all Ultra mode settings maxxed out in Praetoria 8x AA 16x AF at 1680x1050 resolution 60 fps ( I use VSync.)

    I had bad luck with Corsair PSUs, had to replace 2 before I bought an Antec 750 instead and it is still working great.

    MOST IMPORTANTLY Father Xmas was kind enough to write an entire assembly process available here on the forums!!!

    I highly recommend buying and building a Father Xmas system...
  13. I believe any unicode character will work...
  14. I suspect T_Immortalus did not understand what you mean by a leveling vs a lv 50 build.

    Level 50 respec builds most often take powers available in the first 14 levels such as travel powers and minor pool powers such as recall friend last. Simply because it does not matter anymore when you take them, especially if they only require one or two slots. This works great if you are already 50.

    A leveling build takes powers as soon as the important ones are available, so you can use them as you level!

    I myself would love to see more non IO leveling builds on the forums...
  15. Rogues and Villains can use their specific Alignment powers, too.

    If the idea of causing fear or confusion fits your character, this is a role playing reason.

    I love the idea of "crabshell" being a verb!

    What does it mean?
  17. Spelling the words "The" "Epic" and "Squad" correctly has been shown to lower temperatures on most rigs...
  18. Trail and Terror?

    Does the character spent time scaring hikers?
  19. Thank you very very very much... I will give it a try...

    We are very lucky to have such a helpful community!
  20. Yeah, it generates over 2000 .txt files in separate folders, one folder for each key bound.. works great, though.
  21. Thank you so much!

    My Citybinder folder has 2,283 Files, in 16 Sub Folders however...

    Is there a specific file or series of files I should do the find and replace on?
  22. I love CityBinder and have used it for years, even back when all I had was Speed on Demand!

    One problem I could use some help with though, is even after I updated, it still spits "rebind text" into my chat channel every time I touch a movement key. ( I use tab 2 of the chat window.) Is there a way to stop this? I did copy over some LUA files as instructed once, but maybe I put them in the wrong spot?

    Any help would be appreciated...
  23. Turgenev,
    By any chance do you use a program called SpeedFan?
    http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php
    It will show you all your individual fan speeds and temps.
    Also check the ATI Overdrive tab in the CCC make sure you do not have "enable manual fan control" checked, and the speed dragged way down. Sounds silly, but check.
  24. Tearing and artifacting to me often means overheating...

    If you can or care to, open the case, and direct a small desk fan into it and let that run for 5 minutes or so. Load up the game and see if that solved it.

    Worth a try!
