I use Paintshop Pro and more recently Painter for my drawings.

If you're looking for a pretty intuitive system for doing page layouts, I personally find Microsoft Publisher quite acceptable. It's not free, but you should look on a well known auction site for the office 2000 version or similar and you'll be able to get it at a decent price.

That's the only thing I've used for page layouts and the like.

I'm sure that someone out there knows of a cheaper if not free alternative for DTP work though?

Here's my design:

thanks guys. I might eventually finish the others I started.

Have been awful busy since though. need to get back into it

OMG! Have you seen?

doesn't Tar Patch give -def?

OK Guys. In order to help maintain the community while we're spread across alts and between villains and heroes, I created the "DVS Global" chat channel.

I beleive it's public, so just add yourself and set it as your default chat channel so we can all keep in touch.

Well if you've got HO's going begging.... :P

It has been very quiet.

ALthough, in fairness, CoV as a whole has been very quiet. I did a general search the other night at about 8pm, and there were only 224 people on the whole server.

I think it's the general lull before a new issue is due, although the main concern being that there is very little documented villain stuff in i8 so far, so that doesn't bode well.

It's not just DVS though, Kin ran an RSF the other day, which I was down for but couldn't make in the end - checking the forums it seems there were 5 no-shows, which is pretty shocking.

Even so, I'm not planning on cancelling any time soon.

possibly friday and defo at least one of the weekend runs

the demon wings are VERY cool. However, I'm also hoping for some angel ones - wanting a feather texture in black ideally.

Mind you, i'm dreading the sound which will probably be an annoying flapping noise, and I hope to god you don't bob up and down constantly when you fly, cos that'll just make me feel sick.

Like the way they fold up when he's standing though

I have an Enzyme (End redux, ToHit Debuff, Defense Debuff) which I'd like to trade for either an Endoplasm or a Membrane please.

yeah, also in migraine country today. not good

Ooh good idea Swissy

My deviant art ID is '5th-column'

Actually, that isn't a reference to the council, in case you were wondering

Hey guys

Welcome to the forums Ibaraki! I know you've been wanting to get on for ages!
Grats on 40 too btw

Now it just so happens that i do know a little bit about running a /dark MM, so I thought I'd give my input.

Pet training - went for 2 end redux over recharge. With one recharge on Kuji In Zen I find that basic train has recharged by the time advanced train has finished, and vice versa. I also rarely train all pets anyway, training only tier 2 and 3, and just spawn new tier 1 when they die.

Tar Patch - Didn't feel the need for end redux, so put in a range instead. For some reason I don't like to be too close when I drop that.

Howling Twilight - I don't use it as an attack power, purely as a rez. I did have a couple of free slots, so whacked a couple of disorient on it, as it's mainly used against AV's now, so if disorient has an effect it's a bonus. Could possibly slot an Acc/Mez HO at some point in the future to increase the odds of the mez hitting.

Fearsome stare - very effective against longbow (which is nice) 3 acc cos I want it to hit, and only 1 fear duration, as the 2 recharges bring it back before it's run out. My normal opener - hit them with fear, drop a tar patch, then send the boys in.

Petrifying gaze - same as above - 3 accs to make it hit, then 2 recharge to bring it back before the effect has worn off.

Dark Servant - hmmm, now this is a tricky one. I only actually put him in at last respec cos I didn't see the value, but now he's slotted with 2 acc, 1 immob and 3 TH debuffs, i do see the benefit. However, in time he's also going to benefit from some heavy HO slotting so he should be able to do great things


That's just how it works for me. I only really slot my toggles for end redux, as I find I rarely suffer with end - I often summon and train ninja without de-toggling fly, assualt and tactics.

I'm not sure the SG is big enough for 2 mighty Oni's!! :P

Why not consolidate yourself and your members into a larger SG that is already established enough for your needs?

I'm up for anything that gets me XP

it wasn't just that though, the damage seems to have been buffed - from the AoE's at least.

Yesterday was the first time that half of the team was repeatedly 'smacked-down' to 1hp - far more so than I've noticed on previous runs.

KB seems to be bigger too.

Dunno what you guys reckon, but that's certainly how it looked from where I was.

Aye - is this the part where we now lose the frickin technician and waste valuable minutes finding the bugger whilst shouting at Scarlet to turn shadow fall off?

Well if SOMEONE had Psi rez it wouldn't on in the first place!

And anyway, it's not normally mine - I don't kick mine in until the Vindis - just to give some protection to the squishy rock man :P

Very nice Swissy

Love the Oni!!

NOw it's fixed in the patch, does anyone know spawn times and other useful info for taking down the flyer?

I can do it for you.

Contact me on global after 7pm this evening

Well, I do have an RSF in the morning, but that only took us 95 minutes last time

Scarlet Vengeance is the toon I'm bringing

also a good point.

Mind you though, you can use one to serve the other. While I don't see trends in numbers, I manage them through creativity in spreadsheets and the like.

I saw a programme on 3D graphics once where the guy created complex architectural structures by inputting nothing but numbers - saw the whole thing as a complex equation. madness!

My first attempt at a sudoku was about 25 minutes! I'm now down to about 12 [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I don't think everybody has the same ability, per se, but possibly we all start off from a similar place but are diferently inclinded.

Doesn't matter how well you can 'see' something if you're not bothering to look, does it? [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I dunno though, I think some may be kinda 'hardwird one way or another. For instance, I have no inclination for numbers, whereas some people can complete sudoku in no time at all because that can just 'see' the pattern.

For the record, i'm RUBBISH at suduko [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
