Energy is a defense based powerset (makes enemies miss more often, but you take full damage if they hit).

Electric is a resist based powerset (You take less damage when you are hit, but it doesn't do anything to reduce how often you are hit).

For enemies, it shows the last X% of enemies on the map. I think X is 1, but I'm not sure. If the map is really small, one enemy on the map can be more than the cutoff value, meaning that they'll never show up.

For glowies, it only shows the last one, and only if it's ALSO the last objective on the map. Some optional objectives, like boss fights, hostages and destructables can count towards this count, even if they aren't mission required. The mission DarkGob mentions failed to show the last glowie because he didn't defeat the named boss.

Someone mentioned upthread that you need to fill each tier before you can progress to the next; this is important to note.

If you only have 15 tokens spent, it doesn't matter how many unspent tokens you have, wou will NOT be able to buy the Fire & Ice set. You MUST manually go up the tree and fill Tiers 1 through 8 before you can pick anything from either of the Tier 9 levels.

A silent chainsaw seems really odd to me too. I can't imagine anyone thinking "I want to chop people up with a chainsaw, BUT I DON'T WANT ANY CHAINSAW NOISES!"

But if it's enough of a concern, why not just put the chainsaw on the list twice: "Chainsaw" and "Chainsaw (no SFX)"?

The lore suggests that Kheldians are capable of bonding with almost any living thing. They do this through a natural, non-magical process, so I'd say that they should be able to bond with anything that is truely alive.

With that in mind:
Resident Evil zombie: Yes, the person is still alive, just changed by the virus.
Traditional necromantic zombie: No, the body is dead, and animated by magic.
Frankenstein's Monster: Yes. While previously dead, the monster has been brought back to life - it has normally functioning brain, body and organs.
Vahzilok Zombie: Maybe. The body is mechanically reanimated, but it seems like they respond as living things. Slow and dimwitted, but alive and partially aware. Considering Dr V's goal is to conquer death, I think his intention is Frankenstein-like reanimation. Probably, but I'm uncertain.

For robots, that's a tough call. There is no lore precedent (that I'm aware of) that states that Kheldian energy is or isn't compatible with technology. The Battallion's use of the Kheldians as fuel doesn't convince me, because we know nothing useful about the Battallion yet. Their ships may be some form of biotech that forces the Khelds to merge with them and then drains them. It might be techno-wizardry or even straight up magic that uses life forces for fuel, and the Khelds were picked for their availability, not their energy form. There's no way to know at this point.
That said, I'm inclined to say that a Kheld should be capable of possessing and animating a mechanical body, but I don't think it could fully bond with an artificial intelligence (ie, a computer program that merely simulates life/intelligence). If it were a full blown computer intelligence, and not just a simulation of one, then I'd say it would probably work. Everything in this paragraph is pure speculation, with NO lore backing it up though.

It's also a good way to get KB protection on a Premium character without having to spend cash on a Store-Bought KB protection IO or spending the pool and power picks on Acrobatics.

Most, if not all, of the video cards I've had for the last decade or more have been Realtek as well. But from what TJ said, that may not be the source.

I've never deliberately installed any form of tweak or OS add-on that created that window. However, it hasn't always looked the same as that, so possibly the earlier versions weren't part of the OS (as I had assumed) but rather some add-on I didn't even know I had.

Hm. I wonder if it's based on sound card/drivers and varies from one company to another. All I know is that, for me, that option has always been there.

It's fine on my computer, phone and tablet. Guess that's what you get for using an iPhone. :P

Edit: The edit wasn't there when I started posting. :P

The inputs aren't in the window I showed, they're in the next two - Playback Devices and Recording Devices (which used to be a combined menu item called Playback & Recording Devices)

What I do is right-click on the speaker icon beside my clock, and choose Open Volume Mixer.



Then I just turn off the sound on City of Heroes with the mute button below it.

I can't imagine Weave by itself adding enough defense to be significant to anything. Stack it with a few other sources of defense and it may be worthwhile. For example, Weave and Combat Jumping each with three +3 SOs, and the Steadfast Protection and Gladiator's Armor +3% Defense pieces gives you a total of 15% defense to everything. That isn't going to turn you into an indestructible god, but it will have a noticeable effect, especially on alpha strikes.
