    I'm quite sure you're correct. This has happened to me four times now. I don't think this game has been patched four times over the last 24 hours. Strange that it seems to want to continue downloading the same patch. I've verified it every time yet it continues to do so after every restart. Admin log in and all.

    It's possible. Though I think the over-stimulation of the average human will eventually come to pass. Some combination of "smell-o-vision" (just a freakish example), 3D, and other bizarre ways to enhance the various idiot box stimulation we all enjoy will eventually push people to turns off all of those options and enjoy the simplicity of simple sound and 2D sight.

    I may be wrong, but I'd certainly fall into that category. I like to be aware of other things going on in the house/world while I'm also playing games. Multi-tasking becomes a chore when one is so plugged into one particular thing that everything else becomes hard to train your mind onto. That already happens to me with certain games that are fast paced and graphic intensive.

    Nonsense!

  4. All of my MMs. Most of them have been deleted.

    I used to be baffled by the general dislike of the AT. Now I seem to have come to the same conclusion as many others. Pets tend to bother me in all games at this point.

    Couldn't agree more. I'll bring the gasoline for good measure.

    I view "real" evil as not remaining sociable. I solo my truly evil characters. A real villain is not something anyone, including other villains, would want to meet.

    Home Run

    Count me in. I feel like a kid at Christmas all over again. Been a long time since a game made me feel so satisfied.

    I think that's a big part of it, actually. There's a certain degree of the community that will always exist blueside that won't exist redside due to the fact that villains are often played as ... well villains. I tend to solo with many characters so it will be interesting to see how everything transpires for those who primarily team.

    I want to see as much of the content from BOTH sides with as many toons as I can
    This is how I feel as well. Making Vigilantes and Rogues allows the most freedom without sacrificing the nature of the character much. Making the darker characters Rogues is harder for me, since most of mine are quite dark, than making heros Vigilantes. I don't have any pure hero-types as is.

  11. Air Superiority is almost essential for my tankermind concepts. It's ridiculous how effective it can be in an attack chain. I use it on all kinds of characters.
  12. Yep. Getting it on Virtue and Freedom. Tried them both several times and cannot log in.

    DB Servers?

    Getting Lost Connection to DB Servers repeatedly

    Servers down again? I didn't see anything on the boards regarding it.

    Love this. Have the Zombie Invasion-type imagery and music involved as well. Funny stuff.
  15. Yep. Down for me. Has been all day Friday now. I would assume they're still working on something. I've sent messages and all I've gotten so far are the standard links to problems from the NC Soft Technical FAQ doohicky.
  16. Yummy. I'll have to check this out.
