    Because primitives can't have their own heroes?

    I seem to remember they tested Ice for brutes and decided against it. The slowing effect on enemies was counter productive.

    Shafted, excluded, left out and resentful.

    Don't resent it... if you'd fooled around with your boss to get the evening off and then spent it yelling "Come on!" while you pounded keys praying some power, any power, would eventually fire, then you would have felt really bad about it.

    As a concept, yes, it was a nice thought to give people a chance to knock out the badges for defeating this wide array of baddies that you'd normally only see several months apart. The only real problem is the lag that has been the bane of invasion events for as long as I can remember. If they can't find a fix for that, they might as well just not bother. It's like they gave me a gallon of chocolate milk, but I'm both lactose intolerant, and allergic to chocolate.

    You may have noticed that things tend to get a little... "out of hand" in-game on our anniversaries. Well, this year will be no exception! On Monday, April 26th and Tuesday, April 27th, get ready for chaos to break loose on a server near you! Don't miss out on this opportunity to band together with your fellow players to defeat giant obstacles, earn merits, badges, XP and maybe even pick up a 30 day anniversary title!
    *Click here for the list of days, servers and times!
    I just don't understand how somebody thought they were doing us a favor by staging an event laggier that the mutant baby of a Rikti Invasion mated to a Zombie Invasion. Honestly, has the person who made this decision actually played during any kind of invasion event?

    This is roughly equivalent to my cable company saying, "We've arranged for all our customers to see Iron Man 2 a week before it's released in theaters, but we're going to stream it to you, in it's entirety, at one frame every 30 seconds."

    Quick fix: Play the game in Windowed Format


    Here is how to play in Windowed Format:

    Log onto Test Server

    (Either copy one of your characters onto test server, or create a new one)

    Once logged in;

    Open Menu

    Scroll down and select Options

    Select Graphics and Audio

    Under Graphics

    Select Windowed under Screen/UI Resolution

    Select Apply now

    Close Options Screen/Menu

    Log off

    Re-log on for effect to work

    Enjoy playing with a mouse cursor on the test server!
    Unless you are a woman, YOU ARE THE MAN! I can haz cursor nao!

    For whatever reason, I'm not seeing a link to a closed beta forum.

    Thing is, I'm experiencing this problem on what I assume to be an open test server, as of yesterday. At least I don't remember being told "Hey, you're in closed beta, so keep your trap shut."

    I was able to create a DS MM, but the character creation was a giant PITA with no cursor, and then it only took a few moments in-game to decide it was more frustration than it was worth.

    And I'm wondering how deleting or moving the thread helps...

    Here you've got people with an existing/continuing problem and can't find an existing discussion of it?
