I guess that means that the black guy doesn't get killed first, finally.

But how many beams recoil? As far as I know, recoil is a result of the chemical reaction from gunpowder.

He's also done the Art Bell (radio) Show

On the contrary, cross the Beams. It would be good (for Disintegration.)

Quote:Come back and talk to me when you can show who's actually a scientist on this message board. I can Google this guy and come back with numerous hits, quite a bit of them that show praise and many on actual science and engineering sites. So he seems to possess some manner of credibility. He has an established history in his field and apparently has done much to help children have fun learning science. He's not some random kook that has spontaneously appeared a month ago; there's a lot of past documentation that has him involved in other projects, so he's been around.Originally Posted by Quasadu
Come back and talk to me when he's taken seriously by a scientist.

I suggest the wait and see approach rather than just judging before you've seen anything. -

Is this about the alleged rarity of names again? Because I just grabbed (on VIRTUE no less) Demgoddess for a demon-summoning mastermind. How did I come up with it? Oh, a while ago on some forum, I saw someone misspell "demigoddess" as "demgoddess" and I thought, oh hey, that'd make a good name for a demon summoner.
Cool thing about the reserving feature in the new character creator, though. That'll make costuming less of a rush. -
It's spelled Brute. Just saying.

Okay, so I Googled this guy and....
Well... the dude seems to be taken seriously by plenty of science blogs and news sites. I'm very curious about what he might have here. -

@Samuraiko Still not true. Because we don't have a enemy group for "Retired Heroes", he had to be stuck somewhere.

BABs could have been in it, but he's not. So there. -

Positron also once asserted that Hamidon was some kind of an Elder God. I don't always trust his story knowledge without question.

Yeah. Like I'm ready to believe anything Doctor Aeon says.

Did it happen in a warehouse map?

Quote:Well, if it is something external to the game, I haven't found it, because each time it's happened, I've tabbed around and nothing has looked out of order. And also as I said, task manager doesn't seem to notice anything amiss either.Originally Posted by Ironblade
Solo while in a mission makes it sound like something external to the game. Other applications would be one possibility (already mentioned). Have you pulled up the netgraph while getting the lag?
Type /netgraph 1
If will put a pretty little graph in the lower right of your screen that tells you useful things about your connection at that moment. (/netgraph 0 to turn it off)
I'll try Netgraph if it happens again, though. -
Quote:Very well, it's been mostly in missions so far. I mostly solo, so every time it's happened I've been alone. Considering that this is the same rig I've been playing the game on for two and a half years now with the same Internet connection, I highly doubt its a memory problem. And no, antiviruses are not running and the computer's not defragging (I checked and I likely wouldn't be running those while playing a game anyway). Task manager shows no increase of memory usage either.Originally Posted by Rodion
You have to be more specific as to what kind of performance hit you're seeing.
"Lag" does not tell us what problem you're seeing. "Lag" can be due to many things:
- Poor graphics performance. This can be due to many different things: your graphics card is not powerful enough, doesn't have enough memory, doesn't deal with certain power effects (many cards slow down with wispy effects like Dark Armor), there are too many powers activating at once, too many characters in the vicinity (liike when dozens of people used to congregate in the Atlas AE), etc.
- Poor network performance. This can be due to noisy DSL/cable lines, excessive traffic on your local broadband leg, some kind of network problem at your ISP, or at NCsoft, a virus running on your machine and hogging all your bandwidth by sending out spam
- Poor hard disk performance. Some process can cause hard disk thrashing, making things take forever to load, or Windows might be defragging your hard disk.
- Poor CPU performance. Your anti-virus software could kick in and cause a tremendous slow down, or you could be hit by a virus as above.
- Poor server performance. Most noticeable on the BAF or when an event occurs with lots of players, your powers seem to be recharged but when you try to use them nothing happens.
Describe where you are, what you're doing and the nature of the problem and we may be able to give you a better idea of what to do about it.
The framerate just seemes to suddenly drop and then returns to normal after a while. It seems random and it's only recently started, the first occasion of it being last Friday. -
I'm sorry, I should've caught that error before submitting. Lemme fix it.

Has anyone else been experiencing a peculiar random lag in the game? Four times now on two separate days, divorced by two other days between them, I have experienced a strange randomly occuring lag that doesn't seem to have any cause. I can't figure it out, but for some reason today, it's hit me with a vengeance and has made the game practically unplayable. Everything outside the game when I go to test if it's my computer behaves perfectly normal. So what's the deal?

Oh PANCAKE YEAH!
Now those I can get behind. They actually look a lot more interesting than those lackluster spandexy upgrades from ComiCon. The dark faces and the green glowing eyes. They're all there. -

Interesting, I've always been getting the exact opposite: threads I've read being marked unread.

Um, I tend to use flight/hover a fair bit in outdoor maps. Versus Hamidon in the LGTF I find Flight very useful...
