I've a AMD Radeon HD 6900. For a while now, every long, I've been greeted with a message to update my drivers, since mine are dated january twenty-sixth, 2011 (to my big surprise).

Well, long story short, I've replaced my drivers with the ones that the official site reccomended, the ones in the Catalyst software suite revision 12.6, dated 6/28/2012. Ever since, so much as turning CoH on to the login screen puts my GPU and core temps at 60c+ (according to SpeedFan), more than 10 degrees higher than what was stable with the old drivers.

I've reverted to the old drivers, but wanted to know if anybody knows more about the issue. I'll be the first to say I am very green at tweaking and drivers and monitoring.

> Log onto KM / Nin stalker.
> Save power customization both as .powercust and .powercustsecondary
> Verify that both files were created
> Try to load on new Staff / Nin stalker
> The files are NOT ON THE LIST.

Hrm. Help? Costume saving works normally, just not power, and it's very, very annoying.

[edit]
> Try to save new character's power customization.
> File is FULL of Incarnate stuff... this really, really should be combined and not per power...

God, this is Street Justice all over again.

Hey Marketing, protip: Having to wait months for a set that is already done and ready for no other reason than you thinking it builds hype doesn't make me excited. It makes me frustrated. And when it's finally out, the "Yaaaay I am going to play this forever!" is long gone, replaced with "About guddamn time."

Long story short? If Staff released with I22, I would have one at 50 now. Now? I don't think I'll even be buying it.

Earth is nice and passive but the -def won't synergize due to overkill of it.

.... you know, I honestly for one don't care for the retro sci-fi, but those gloves are looking like they'll make mighty fine wrist blasters!

Procs. Procs procs procs procs.

Also, Halloween invasion zombies, as well as the ones in the House of Horrors decay near-instantly, too fast for a fluffy.

So, if I'm reading this right (and mind you I prefer playing a corpsesucker than a mcbrightybright), Photon Seekers, the PB's ostensibly pet power, tends to see use as a strong ranged AoE power - basically a slightly fancier version of a crashless ranged nuke.

And, well. Since I believe in reusing power ideas, have one I came up with for my Praetorian Epics idea:

How would you people who have more experience than I with Peacebringers feel if Photon Seekers worked like this:

* Cast power at ground next to thine hated foes.
* Power spawns a pseudopet. A patch if you will. Hell, could re-use the fancy glowy from the ground graphics
* Said patch tries to -- well, attacks every mob (well, up to a maximum - 16, maybe?) within its radius. It doesn't deal damage. It just spawns a pet. A photon seeker. One for every mob affected. It doesn't even have to move.
* After a moment, exactly long enough for the mobs to give a heartfelt "Oh pancakes", the photon seekers explode, dealing damage in an area. Oh, of course, the damage would have to be reduced, and the target cap would have to be carefully tweaked.
* The end result is (should be) immediately - apparent a power that deals more and more damage as more mobs are caught in the patch.

There'd be a lot of balancing tweaking involved, of course, especially with the target caps of the patch and the explosion. The more seekers the patch can spawn, the less targets and less damage each would deal, and the power would saturate slower.

Oh, also. There would have to be some way to make the seekers not explode at once. Reason one is that it sounds better when it's a chain of explosions. Reason two is that the game, uh, doesn't like it when multiples of the same sound get triggered simultaneously. It gets loud.

Thoughts, folks?

My Unchain Essence got a lovely purple set with the copious -rech I couldn't get for PosiBlast, and for that, I have a nice bundle of -rech and my dwarf has more HP.

This makes me a happy squid.

For your specific question:

Carrion Creepers has poor damage and throws out tons and tons of attacks. That power is meant to make love to damage procs.

A: A lot of animations wouldn't work with the guns in hands, and would require reworking.

B: Letting an animation work both with weapons and without is difficult and hard on the system.

C: Why would Dual Pistols be singled out? Why not the other weapon sets? ANd every one means more work and more load on the game.

Count deaths because Dwarf keeps turning on and off: 3.

Incidentally, you can use "powexec_auto """ to turn all auto-powers off.

Combining "powexec_auto ""$$powexec_auto POWER" guarantees the bind will put the power ON auto.

Yeah, definitely something wrong.

My toggleoff binds are trying to turn the power back on.

Makes my Kheld noticably less fun to play.

I love the idea but

Welcome to me complaining ever since they broke the spawn code in I13 so it completely ignores how stuff worked and decides that +0x2 means "throw spawns of 2 lts and 3 minions all at +1 all mission at me"

Back of cape AND back of character, please!

So I'm curious.

Are the rusty tronpunk Resistance and the sleek PPD your idea, or were you working to strict design descriptions?

Are doctored screenshots okay?

Because if so, I feel like showing off some promo art I did for my latest suggestion.





Oh and, a scenic shot of my lovely Warshade and her Travel Form.

Yes. Please.

Leave the window in case someone clicks on the enhancement so we can combine it, but let us drag-combine without a bloody screen already!
