  1. Online purchases automatically apply to the account you sign into while making the order. You should have GR fully active on your main account. Have you checked to see if you can create a praetorian?

    [edit: i assume you mean pre-purchased through the ncsoft store, if not please tell us where you ordered]

    The correct way to do this is to send as much Inf as possible to @Cougarific.

    Does this work for everyone???
  3. I have recently been playing an online involving hobbits in which, at high levels, LFMs request very specific classes and often, in addition to classes, stat/equipment requirements. It definitely made me miss pick-up groups in CoH in which intelligence and cooperation matter a lot more than AT/power choices.

    Also, if you do want to min/max, just look in the archetype forums. Builds are serious business in there.
  4. I can't believe anyone could stand listening to that dude for the whole video. I had to stop right after character creation.
  5. For long animations, consider the possibility of front-loading the strike in certain animations with a flourish afterwards (though this would have a gameplay effect if damage is delivered earlier in an animation) For example, in a martial arts kick with a flip afterwards instead of before.


    Also, give us a maniacal, laughing, one-handed AR spray for full-auto
  6. This may be above and beyond simple alternate animations, but:

    Traps in 3 flavors: Magic, Ninja/low-tech/military, future-Tech (triage beacon already looks kinda magical to me).

    Blast sets: Can these emanate from a magic/tech wand like Vanguard stuffs?

    Hex animations for some debuff powers. Prayer/meditation animations for heal powers. Hand-to-head animations for mental powers.

    Off-hand attacks with weapons (ability to replace a ST attack with a shield bash or off-hand punch, a la brawl).

    More powers with the dominator "stone spears"-style animation. Imagine inferno with a punch in the ground style animation. Snipes in general should have a cool animation especially since they take so long.

    Pools, obviously.
  7. Any chance you could just add it alongside the booster, and not part of it. It doesn't really fit the theme anyways. I am going to buy the booster regardless, but it may not be some people's style (whereas the tail might be)!

    Don't we have bird wings already?
  9. Ouroportal is cool. Never knew about it until now.

    Also, one advantage of using Pwiki as an interface is that more people will actually be more likely to read and become familiar with lore information. It's useless unless it is being used.

    That said, perhaps there is a more palatable way to integrate lore information into the wiki. Perhaps have lore-only links which lack game and statistical details and attempt to congregate information in a better way.
  10. I find long fights very interesting actually (Reichsman, Tendaji, etc.). They often give me time to try a variety of attack chains and test which powers make the most impact on a team.

    Anyways, fun is subjective. I would rather have different TFs offer difference experiences.

    Come to think of it, the only thing which I really like about Kahn is the Reichsman battle.
  11. A 30 minute Reichsman fight isn't really anything to complain about in my book. The rest of the TF is very quick. I like that a large portion of the TF is dedicated to a single fight.

    Also, fast does not equal fun! I have had way too many teammates who think that.

    Several people have pointed out that we haven't seen either Maelstrom or Desdemona rendered ingame yet.

    New GR video! :D

    Well, maybe that's because it's not coming "tomorrow" anymore but "soon" as in "today".

    too optimistic?
  15. Video cards should be able to go much much higher than 40 degrees celsius without concern. From what I have read, many cards won't experience wear until above 90 degrees celsius and perhaps damage over 100.

    Anyways, the above sounds like a heating issue to me as well regardless. Has your gaming environment become significantly hotter lately?
  16. I would like to see the AE building only in a couple zones per side.
  17. Run a test of your memory. It could be that one of the sticks/slots is causing the problem.
  18. The change in weather might have more to do with it than anything else. How much warmer is it in your playing environment now than it was a month or two ago?

    or Rikti!
  20. Some questions:

    1) Is dropping stone mallet really an acceptable power choice? I feel like a ST attack chain would already be hard enough, unless you are thinking of boxing as an alternative (but which isn't slotted)?

    2) Both of you dropped fault. I really can't see building the set without it. I would be missing out on too much fun! I have considered slotting it with a taunt set and using it instead of taunt (higher target limit, albeit pbao). Also, it looks like a great form of team mitigation.
  21. Stone melee recently has looked like an attractive set to me. I paired it with SR because of the survivability and recharge boost. What are people's thoughts on the attached build. I designed with Def softcaps and recharge bonuses in mind.

    Will this build have a reasonable ST attack chain (not counting boxing, perhaps counting gloom)?
    Will this build have consistent endurance troubles. I haven't slotted it with a miracle or numinas, but I don't object to doing so.

  22. Wow. What a hassle. Just goes to show you that a virus program is much like a virus itself.

    Good work getting things cleared up though!

    I agree. But it would be optional at least.
